Ribs were overcooked ( how do you do that)-dry. Smokin Butts ribs better BUT the sauces at mission are excellent! Sides are not that good. Should have tried another meat. read more

We love bbq and this new location is close to home so we decided to give it a try. Upon arriving we saw the giant Mission Bbq military looking truck parked outside and the photos of fallen soldiers inside. We ordered our takeout and the cashier was extremely helpful and friendly. It was time to pay so, given the decor and the "mission" of the restaurant, my husband pulled out his veteran's ID and asked for the veteran's discount. Imagine our surprise when we were told they do not give one. He was instead instructed to sign up for the VIP club and he would get a free sandwich. The food itself was fine and the portion size was generous for the price. However the lack of a veteran's discount seems so strange. It's not even about the $5 or $6 we would have saved. It's more about a restaurant leading with their support of military and first responders, but needing to collect all of your personal information and send you endless marketing emails to reward you for something they seem to hold so dear. No matter how good the food might have been, I left with a very bad taste in my mouth. read more

First visit at Paradise Valley store. This place truly covers all the bases for a great BBQ. Turkey IS AMAZING! Buttery melt in your mouth yum. Pulled pork was also excellent. The rub shines coming out of the smoker! Coleslaw and baked beans are made exactly as all good bbq places should. French fries YUM YUM. 6 different sauces and all good on their own and mixed...we tried them all. Seriously....you're missing out if you don't try this place. The friendly staff goes above and beyond. You'll love all of it! read more

Food was great and "real" BBQ unlike some of the other more popular BBQ brands. I enjoyed trying all 6 BBQ sauce flavors with Baja Bold and Smoky Mountain being my favorite. Unfortunately I will not be returning due to the pricing. The chopped brisket sandwich costs 165% of what it does at another popular chain - Rudy's. The food between these two chains is on par with neither being better than the other. Will be going to the place where I receive a much better value for my money read more

I have been anxiously awaiting the "order online" option for this place and was so glad to see it pop up today!! I'll preface this by saying I'm from Kansas City and I am a KC bbq snob - though I appreciate multiple styles. We ordered the two meat platter w sliced brisket and turkey; added two sides (green beans and bbq beans) and then also an order of ribs w two sides (mashed potatoes and bbq beans). I threw in two things of KC original bbq sauce and the NC vinegar. Both meals came w cornbread. Service was great for pick up, though be prepared to spend some money - we spent about $75 for that order. When I took my first bite of the brisket w the KC original bbq sauce, I was in heaven. If you're a KC bbq connoisseur, then know it tastes almost exactly (if not exactly) like Gates and as a person who used to order that online, I cannot tell you how happy I am!! It was DELICIOUS. My only two down sides were the mashed potatoes (lacked seasoning) and the fact I didn't get one of my bbq beans (we only got one, ordered two). But trust me when I say this will be a staple in our takeout rotation moving forward!! read more

The service was amazing. They were helpful when explaining what their NC style was and whether it was eastern or western NC. The brisket was moist and had a great flavor. The different bbq sauces are delicious. I mixed the smoky mountain and Memphis belle. Highly recommend! read more

Food was amazing - Great staff - young man at the register with glasses is a gem. Coming from western NC I am always on the lookout for good BBQ. This place delivers - love their mission they donate to Tunnel to Towers. God Bless America - God Bless our Troops - God Bless our vets read more

These guys take food to local VFWs and that is so awesome! I didn't get to try the food but I looked great! Thank you so much for supporting our veterans!! read more

I can't say enough great things about Mission BBQ! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the kind of warmth and friendliness that makes you feel right at home. The staff here go above and beyond -- everyone is so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special shoutout to David, the gentleman who walks around the lobby checking in on guests -- he is truly one of the sweetest and most personable people I've ever met. You can tell he takes pride in making sure everyone feels cared for, and it really made our visit extra special. One of the things I absolutely love about Mission BBQ is that every day at noon, they pause everything to play the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Everyone -- including the staff -- stands and pays tribute. It's such a powerful, moving moment and a beautiful reminder of what this place stands for. Hands down, the most patriotic place I've ever dined in. The food is fantastic, but it's the heart and soul of this place that truly sets it apart. I absolutely love, love, love it here and will be recommending Mission BBQ to all my family and loved ones! read more

As the pictures show there was an odd looking piece of something on my plate of wings. When asking one of the employees about it she wasn't sure what it was and had not seen anything like it. She got the Manager. His customer service and personality skills were ZERO! His approach was one of no big deal. When asked about it he said ya, that's from our smoke ring. What?? Then he compared it with one of the other wings on the plate. No comparison. I said I have never seen a wing Iike this before. No apology. He finally offered to give me another wing. I declined because they weren't very good and I threw the rest away. His personality, overall conversation and lack of concern were disappointing. I gave it 2 stars not for the food or the Manager but for the young lady that took our order and Megan!! They both were great at customer service. Megan was fabulous and apologized several times about the wing issue and was kind enough to offer a brownie for our dissatisfaction! You need to make her a Manager because her customer service was on point, her personality was very pleasant and she actually cared!!! read more

I admire their "mission", but wasn't a huge fan of the food. Their "moist" brisket was pretty dry and no super flavorful.

The service is great, the food is good, the bbq sauces are decent. I tried them all and just couldn't find one I loved. Ordering at the counter is easy and staff is ready to offer recommendations and answer questions. I went with the turkey sandwich and found the turkey to be moist, nicely smoked, and very flavorful. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. The sides were also good from the fries to the baked beans which had a nice sweet flavor to them. They have 6 sauce choices so I tried them all but unfortunately none of the blew me away. There is plenty of comfortable seating, including a few tables outside and plenty of napkins on the tables. read more

Let me start off by saying that the Smokey Mountain sauce is the best barbecue sauce I've ever tasted. Wow. I could drink gallons of the stuff! Mission BBQ has recently opened in PV and I couldn't be more satisfied. It has a really cool Patriotic vibe and very friendly staff. Pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches were both awesome. Mac & Cheese....divine. Baked Beans ....extremely flavorful. No complaints! I cannot wait to go back and try other stuff as well! read more

Amazing experience!!! If you want to feel good about America again, treat your self to Mission BBQ. The meats the six sauces the cornbread and coleslaw best I've had in Arizona. What took us back was the honoring of our veterans. Arriving before noon we were included with other patrons to sing our national anthem. Honoring service members throughout the walls. Respectfully thanking and appreciating vets for their service. Best fries!! Can't wait to go back and take family and friends can't say enough good things. read more

Darn good brisket. The chicken is a bit dry so use sauce. They sing at noon so be prepared to stand for the star spangled banner. Very patriotic and good food. Good team and great service. read more

Top notch and unbelievable service. Just wish they had beef ribs on the menu. Brisket was great and reasonably priced. read more

Couple of things. If you care about the little things, ask them to weigh the meat in front of you. They tend to under supply. I got .4lb instead of .5 for the $15 brisket portion. I would avoid the cheesecake, just because it's 90% cream cheese filling. Personally that's too much for me, the graham cracker base and portion size is laughably small. The "lean" is super dry but they warn you on this, and the "moist" will include a ton of fat. But I do like that they give you a choice, the service is very fast, and the workers have a great attitude. read more

Excellent food and friendly counter staff. Nice ode to military personnel in the Restaurant every day at noon

I love this restaurant! The food was exceptional, reasonable fand the employees were polite, friendly and always willing to answer questions. The atmosphere makes me proud to be an American. I also love that they donate part of their proceeds to Tunnels to Towers. read more

This place just opened for business this week! We were immediately greeted when we walked in by staff and supported by Addi at the counter. She was quick to make recommendations and swayed my husband to try the ribs!! The place pays tribute to our military and first responders - decorated very nicely. Did notice a few firemen as well as police officers in the dining area, enjoying their platters. Our food was served up quickly and definitely a place to try if you're a meat carnivore. Service! Food!! Ambiance!! Cheers and much success to this new establishment. read more

I was so excited to go to this place, but very disappointed the ribs are good, but the only problem I found here in my macaroni and cheese other than that, the roads are good not too crazy about the barbecue socks read more

We had a wonderful experience at Mission BBQ when we went for our first visit on Father's Day. It was definitely busy considering the holiday but that did not take away from the delicious food and authentic atmosphere. I had the lean brisket sandwich and decided on the Kansas City BBQ sauce to add to it, it was perfect. The fries were also some of the best I've had and were very addicting. My whole family loved their meals. My kids got a kick out of the old-fashioned glass bottled sodas that tasted just like childhood. This restaurant is the kind where you order at the counter and then find a table, but there are servers walking around to help customers and clean tables. Our server was a nice, young lady named Shy who took great care of us. We also really loved looking around at all of the walls. They have an incredible collection of uniforms, photos, etc from those who have served in the armed forces and emergency services. It was inspiring and you could tell everything was done with a lot of heart and thought put into it. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a little unsure how to write this but here it goes, first visit ( Goodyear)was 5 stars, everything was outstanding, Brisket was juicy and tender, collard greens outstanding- second trip ( paradise valley) was less than a 1 star- brisket and turkey were like eating shoe leather( seemed like it had been pre sliced and set and dried out)collard greens were extremely salty. Not sure what to think. read more

Delicious meats! The corn bread was ok. I love the atmosphere and how much they support our country. The staff was friendly and came by several times to check if we needed anything. Almost 5 stars read more

Tried Mission BBQ for the first time and loved the food. The Ribs were amazing. High recommend trying them.

Nicest staff of all time!! Fun experience with lots of great American themes! Food we yummy.

Nicest staff ever! Everyone there goes above and beyond. Great cause, great food, great people.

My wife and I went without knowing anything about the place. It has a "fast food" feel, but not a fast food taste. The staff was beyond friendly, and everything was clean and well stocked. We got the 3 item sampler, and chose pulled pork, turkey breast and jalapeño sausage. It came with corn bread. No sides came with it but were offered at an additional cost. The meats were very good and there is a wide variety of bbq sauces on the tables. read more

I loveee this place & would give 5 stars, normally each time is a great experience . I have done online to go ordering and go to the pick up spot and call like the sign says, and the lady met me at the door like a doll and I got my food & left ! This time I placed my order and called , and I said " hi I have a pickup order for Meghan" and she said " .....ok how can I help you?" I was like uhhhh I normally have called and they bring it out to the door I'm parked by the pick up door, and she said " unfortunately you have to come inside and get it" Totally seems like Not a big deal, I just have a sleeping toddler & sleeping infant and to unbuckle and bring both in just for a 30 second pick up seems confusing.,. Also don't know the point of the sign to " park for pickup & call this number" if you have to walk inside. I could just walk inside then and tell them I have an order . What's the point of the number ... in conclusion I think she didn't want to walk it out . So I unloaded all the kids and walked in and a super nice man put my food in a bag and then at the end says " do you want help brining this out to the car ?""" lol so super nice guy but kinda defeated the purpose of the girl not bringing it out . Because a man then offered to bring it out . Totally a random specific scenario but maybe the boss could go over online ordering / curbside cause now I'm confused lol! But the place is great so good!!! Love the meat samplers & baked beans lol read more

My family and I have been to a mission BBQ in Tennessee 7yrs ago. It was over the top amazing for my husbands birthday we went to Scottsdale Arizona to celebrate we found out there was a mission BBQ there oh, we had to go and see for our selves, and let me tell you the moment we walked through the door the service was amazing we were greeted and felt so welcomed. The young lady that took our order was so sweet, the chef gave us some samples to try bc there were so many great choices for a second it felt like we have been there before it didn't feel like our first time we talk with the cashier, the chief, the young lady that was cleaning up tables it felt like home. The atmosphere was so friendly and family oriented there was one special employee that stood out to me the most her name is Courtney how she greeted customers by name and how she was interacting with them as if they were family. Mission BBQ when you are here you are family.... This is a place that I will definetly be back to visit its an 8 hr drive from our home but if I'm ever in the area it's well worth it! So if you are looking for a place were you feel like family this is the place to.stop by have some great food enjoy great hospitality and make some wonderful memories And the food oh, my gosh the meat is so tender we had the brisket basket delishes and you must try the banana pudding it's so so so delicious 5 stars I would give more if it didn't limit me to 5 stars. Hope your visit is as memorable as ours was. read more
