    Chopped brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese, fresh cut fries
    David R.

    If you are looking for amazing BBQ in the PGH area, look no further. This is it! I stopped here when I was headed back to the city from the airport and had amazing brisket, Mac and cheese, fries, and sweet tea and lemonade. I got an apple cobbler to go (actually saved it for the next day and it was still absolutely delicious). They have at least 8 different types of BBQ sauce here, which was super fun to try them all. There is one for everyone here -- sweet, spicy, mustard-based, etc. I was particular to the smoky one. I wish one of their locations was closer to me, as they all are outside the city center, but I would make the trip to visit again in the future. I will note that because they smoke their own meats on-premises, you probably will walk out of here feeling like you smell a bit like the smoke.

    Juicy brisket with lovely hospitality! First time trying this restaurant in the West area of Pittsburgh on the way to the airport. I haven't received such a warm welcome anywhere! Everyone here has something kind to say! What a differentiator. I ordered the brisket plate with french fries and everything was delicious. It was a lot of fun tasting all the six sauces that comes at every table. My favorite was the Memphis Belle. I am saving the corn cake for the morning with my coffee. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to coming here again.

    2 meat sampler

    The only thing holding back this rating is the cost. $34 for a two sampler and 3 sides is just too much in my opinion. The service was good, and the restaurant is a museum to our military and first responders. It's is beautiful place to enjoy good food and reflect on our country.

    Fresh Cut Fries

    This was my first visit inside Mission BBQ. I've had catering from them but I wanted to try the in person experience. I was very impressed! I arrived around 1140 AM on a gloomy Saturday. Like a good BBQ restaurant you order the BBQ before you sit down. I decided to have the pick three meats (lean brisket, pulled pork, and traditional sausage). I also had a side of fresh cut fries. The meat was very good. I really enjoyed the sausage and brisket.Fries were nice and salty. Three meat meal and fries was $25.00 which I felt was very fair. There are six different sauces and vinegar at each table as well as the essential roll of paper towels. In addition to being very clean, every employee I encountered was extremely friendly. This was my first visit, but it will not be my last. I highly recommend stopping by.

    What a delightfully delicious restaurant to come across. The food was fantastic, and adding to this is a very friendly and welcoming staff who definitely deliver the goods in the form of a great meal and fun experience. The vibes are really good here and I will definitely be back for more!

    Located on main road with a large parking lot. Great barbecue. Can't go wrong with the smoked turket breast and brisket...two of my favorites! Lots of sauces to choose from. Fountain drinks, but also a variety of bottled soft drinks. Very reasonable prices given the quality of food. Great well-maintained space with tons of interesting decor throughout. Staff is very patient, friendly and efficient. Would love to return to try some more meats and sides...

    Potato salad-- to die for!!!

    Yum! We've eaten here many times. The BBQ is always amazing. Juicy, flavorful, reliably, reproducibly excellent. Our favorites are the pulled pork (juicy and best the first day) and brisket (somehow the left overs are even better the next day!) We love the corn bread. They make my absolute favorite potato salad!!!! Come early or they may run out of the potato salad. The kids love the Mac and cheese. The service is impeccable. The staff are unfailingly kind and helpful. On the phone and in person. Again and again. We got a to go pack this time. The company is clearly tinkering with the method of To Go and it's getting better and better. This time everything was packed in foil containers, with plastic lining the top to prevent spillage. There is now a sign indicating where to pick up your Online order. Which is a new thing. It comes with a full bottle of bbq sauce. the military vehicle outside--good photo op. they have many service and military related honors and uniforms displayed inside and sports events playing on the big TVs. they are kindly able to deal with food allergies. You can call it a chain. But this particular restaurant is as good as the NC and famous Memphis BBQ joints I've tried. We love this location! And the staff are much nicer and more helpful than certain BBQ places much closer to us. The bottom line is the food is superb. We travel for this BBQ!!! 10 stars out of 5 Highly Recommend

    The pull chicken is awesome with the green beans and only thing I am disappointed is that you don't have the banana pudding.

    When you're in the 'Burgh, find something local and go enjoy. I'm not local, and I was thinking…read morepierogis & Iron City, maybe catch some Pittsburgh sportsball? Downey's House provided the local spot I needed. An ice cold Yuengling on draft went down very well, and while I didn't find pierogis on the menu, I settled for a phenomenal bowl of spaghetti & meatballs. Local marinara & meatballs made with the same recipe of the old Main Hotel that was in Carnegie for nearly 100 years. That bowl of pasta was SCRUMPTIOUS and just what I was after. I even talked my lovely wife into doing up her salad 'Pittsburgh style', which means adorning the salad with fries. And yes, it's as good as it sounds. Thrown in a protein like grilled chicken and that is a banger of a meal. Great dining area with a square-shaped bar and TVs with sight-lines in any direction. The service is friendly and helpful, and prices are probably lower than at some chain-y eatery that just makes your food via assembly line. It's local and sensational!

When I said the…read morewedding soup was meh, he offered to replace it with something else, but I said it was fine. Not bad. Still edible. Later, when he asked about the manicotti & I said it was amazing, he asked if it was better than the soup. I said it was much much better and that I knew next time I visited I'd get the Caesar salad instead of the soup. He said he'd bring one to go, since their Caesar dressing is amazing. I said that wasn't necessary, but he brought one anyway. Wow. Portions are very large (without the extra salad, my manicotti would still be three meals for me) & the food is delicious. I like the look of the restaurant and was surprised to see that they had TV's & a bar. Much nicer than I expected given the location.

A couple of us were really excited to try the chicken parm, but we were quickly disappointed by the lack of flavor (very, very bland) and how thick the pieces of chicken were. Our server was very attentive when we first arrived, but as our meal went on, she was no where to be found for drink refills, to check in, etc. In fact, we had to wait a good 20 minutes after we were finished eating for her to appear so we could ask for the check. Choosing to eat here ended up being a regret and waste of money. We spent over $100 for a meal that I honestly could have done a better job cooking at home...and I'm not even that great of a cook! Needless to say, we won't be back and don't recommend wasting your time and money here.
