    This place was fantastic! I got the 2 meat platter to try the smoked brisket and jalapeño/cheddar sausage with sides of cornbread and Mac n cheese. It was soooo delicious. The brisket was juicy and just falling apart! It's was full of flavor and paired well with the smoke mountain bbq sauce they offered. The sausage was spicy and cheeses- great balance between the two flavors. Add a little pepper to the Mac n cheese and it was perfect! Everything was delicious and filling. Definitely will go back! The staff was friendly and greeted us when we came inside.

    Ambiance 5/5 Hygiene 5/5 Food 5/5 First of all i would return for the hospitality of Julian alone!! He is an asset for sure from the time we walked in we were greeted, fed a delicious sample (just when I thought I knew what I was going to order), he circled the dining room to ensure everyone felt like the vip customer, tidying, and making suggestions. He opened doors, wished those happy birthday, interacted effortlessly professional and personable! Music was great but also at the perfect level providing an experience but low enough to speak comfortably. Bathrooms tables floors were clean and inviting! Food: lean brisket sandwich, ribs & brisket two meat sampler cornbread collards cornbread corn mash duo. Brownie & mud pie for desert. It was filling, not heavy, flavorful, and a variety of sauces to slather your meal to your hearts desire. As if singing, doing the food dance, and enjoying my time wasn't enough Julian made my first visit unforgettable with a small token that made my week!

    Woke up this morning with a mission: find good BBQ in Pensacola. That's harder than spotting a stealth bomber, but Yelp told me Mission BBQ at Cordova Mall was rocking 5 stars. Orders received. When I rolled up, the first impression screamed "corporate." I had flashbacks of Sonny's BBQ... but this ain't no Sonny's, Son. This food hits harder than a bunker buster. Inside, the vibe caught me off guard--in a good way. Patriotic to the core, with shadow-boxed uniforms, challenge coins built into the tables, and a salute to service everywhere you look. It's clean enough to pass a white-glove inspection, thanks to staff who are constantly sweeping the battlefield of BBQ sauce and crumbs. Counter service? Sharp as a drill team. Friendly, smiling, quick. Exactly what you want when you're hungry and on patrol for meat. Then the food hit the table: chicken, pork, brisket, mac-n-cheese, collard greens--and, as a bonus, hand-cut fries dropped in by the squad. Everything was seasoned and smoked to perfection, like it had been strategized by a five-star general. It was so good in fact that I will have to do push-ups for forgetting the recon photos! Bottom line: Mission BBQ executes with military precision. The brisket deserves a medal, the ribs could win a campaign, and the sides march in perfect formation. Consider this operation a success. Mission accomplished.

    Pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich.  Cole slaw and Mac and cheese for both.

    We came here today for the first time and we'll definitely be back. The service we received was impeccable. Everyone who works here is so friendly, warm and welcoming. Lakeshia explained the menu to us with a smile and answered our questions. Todd welcomed us when we came in and made our experience lasting. Also, the food was amazing :)

    It was our first time at Mission BBQ and I have to say I like it! The business is great, its clean and organized and we are approached quickly. The brisket is moist and has a great flavor on the bark. Very good.

    Pulled pork and Sausage

    From the second you pull into the parking lot you can feel the respect this business has for our veterans. That respect is very visible within the restaurant as well with the memorabilia on the wall honoring our brave men and women. The moment you walk in the door the staff is friendly and welcoming. The staff works hard to make sure customers are very well taken care of and happy. I ordered smoked chicken with baked cheesy potatoes. The skin was seasoned well with a little kick. The meat was fall off the bone, with a great flavor. Not as bold as the skin but delicious. The potato dish was recommended by one of the servers working the register. My boyfriend and I both loved them. They had large solid chunks of potatoes with a creamy, cheesy, onion flavor. Definitely a side item favorite of ours! My boyfriend ordered the pulled pork and sausage (not jalapeño cheese) combo with a side of mac and cheese. All three were delicious. The restaurant offers 6 different sauces on the table plus a spicy Alabama white sauce. (To my recollection) * Texas sauce * KC sauce * South Carolina sauce * sweet heat * Smokey mountain sauce * Memphis sweet

    I'd give them 3.5 stars if I could…read more We came in TH evening, 9/3/26. I ordered the taster boat, a smoked meat sampler w/ sliced chix breast (sort of dry), brisket (nice smoke bark but lacked seasoning and that good smoke flavor, was juicy but maybe it sat in au jus or beef broth, which took away the smokiness from the meat? ), rib piece (flat part of the rib, overly seasoned; my husband ordered the 3 meat combo and said his actual rib wasn't overly seasoned so maybe it was just the flat piece I received), smoked sausage, & pulled pork. I ordered the green beans & red skinned potato salad, reminded me of Publix's with some added mustard, to make a smaller meal as I wasn't that hungry. This filled me up and I packed up the pulled pork to go. It wasn't not dried out like some pulled pork can be. It gave the full flavor of pulled pork. I ordered an old fashioned, cause why not? It seemed like a better choice to go with barbecue than the Arnold Palmer I wanted to order with all the sugar. ‍ It was smoked and the bartender, Josie, also our server, allowed me to remove the top when I felt the drink had enough smoke, which I appreciated. As an old fashioned snob I'd recommend getting true craft ice & not using maraschino cherries. BUT the price point for everything, even the drinks is considerably lower than we'd expect; but we're used to Atlanta & TX prices for barbecue. ‍ No, seriously, the prices are low; no complaints there. AND they offer military discount. Oh and you get a discount if you pay with cash. His 3 meat combo included the ribs, brisket, & smoked sausage. He wanted chicken but they only had white meat. His brisket rivals barbecue restaurants. He was open to giving them another try. He said he really wanted to taste the smoke flavor, not just smell it from the pit outside. We ordered the same sides. They brought out white bread, usually by request and also some butter. That was a 1st for me. The bread wasn't the softest but it was probably on the line or near it exposed to heat, which dried it out In guessing?. I ordered the praline pecan pie. It was very tasty. Think caramel added to pecan pie w/o big pecan halves, More like pieces, and topped with whipped cream and praline pecan pieces. Delicious. Initially I thought it was too sweet but it was so good i kept eating it and once he tried it, my husband had several bites too. It's not even that big slice of pie. lol Josie provided great customer service, constantly refilling my husband's water, checking on us, & providing recommendations. The restroom was clean. It was decorated maybe from the 4th of July or for the Labor Day weekend. It seemed quite spacious as there was an area that was closed beyond the bar and smaller restaurant seating area. The TVs have closed captioned. I said we needed to give them another try when it wasn't 45-60 minutes before closing. So we'll do that. It was decent.

    The best meal I personally experienced in Pensacola Beach…read more This little gem was located just outside of our hotel and we were very appreciative of their food. I learned quickly that the area is NOT vegetarian friendly and this place was one of the few exceptons. The staff we interacted with were incredibly friendly and they always got food out in a timely manner. We ended up visiting the food truck 2-3 times during our trip because we trusted the quality of what was being served. The one thing I can say that I was disappointed with was their sauces. A bit ironic, as it's in the name but they were extremely underwhelming. We ended up using sauces we had saved from other spots. I still highly recommend trying them as their food was very good!

When I got there I had to knock on the window to get someone's attention because they were already cleaning up. Once they came over, I told them I had a pickup order and they just handed me the bag without saying anything, which felt like I was an inconvenience to them (even though we tipped on the order too beforehand) The food itself was mostly good. The portions were solid and we really liked the Brussels sprouts, those were definitely the highlight. But the veggie burger was honestly really disappointing. It had almost no flavor and was so bland we couldn't even tell what it was made of. We also had the chicken tenders and sweet potato fries which I would recommend and kept me full. Also, no napkins were included, which would have been helpful considering everything was pretty saucy. Overall, not a terrible experience but definitely some things that could be improved especially with customer interaction. It's not very inviting at all.

    Here is the completed review with your additional details incorporated:…read more I recently visited **Kalbi Ichiban** in Pensacola, Florida, located in the area of town where I grew up. It was good to return to familiar surroundings and find a restaurant offering a different dining experience. The interior is attractive, clean, and inviting. The restaurant also offers Korean barbecue, with tabletop grills built into several booths. It is a nice option for families, groups, or anyone interested in a more interactive meal. I went specifically looking for authentic Korean food. Having experienced Bulgogi while serving in Korea, it quickly became one of my favorite dishes. Most chain restaurants do not do the dish particularly well, so I decided to give Kalbi Ichiban's version a try. My waiter, **Carson**, was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. He checked on me regularly without being intrusive and made the overall experience even better. Carson receives five stars from me. The meal came with Bulgogi, rice, and a choice of soup or salad. I selected fried rice and started with the hot and sour soup. I also ordered a side of kimchi because, in my opinion, a Korean meal is not complete without it. The hot and sour soup was excellent. It had great flavor, was well prepared, and was easily one of the highlights of the meal. The fried rice was good, although nothing about it particularly stood out. The Bulgogi was tender and very flavorful, but it was wetter than traditional Bulgogi. Authentic Bulgogi is normally much drier, with the marinade cooked into the meat rather than leaving it with a gravy-like consistency. Even with that difference, the flavor was enjoyable. The kimchi was also very good and added the right touch to the meal. Interestingly, the hot and sour soup was spicier than the kimchi. However, different regions of Korea prepare kimchi in different ways, so the level of heat and flavor can vary considerably. Overall, I was pleased with the meal and would rate the food **8.5 out of 10**. After adding a couple of cocktails, I was also pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the final bill was. I would rate the restaurant **two dollar signs out of five for price**, making it a good value for the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere. Kalbi Ichiban may not serve Bulgogi exactly as I remember it from Korea, but it delivered a flavorful and satisfying meal. Combined with Carson's excellent service, the inviting atmosphere, and reasonable prices, it was an enjoyable dining experience and a restaurant I would visit again.
