    Freebie dessert for Vets
    Lenny C.

    In the many, many, many times that I have dropped in to a Mission BBQ ad hoc, it has never disappointed! And this one is a great example! Lots of free parking, loads of friendly staff (over a dozen of them when I dropped in for lunch), and the food is always great! I also love how they treat vets - on this visit, without me asking, they added a free dessert! Speaking of vets, the walls are as usual covered in patches, photos, and the stuff that makes vets and anyone else feel homey!

    Good vibes. The older gentleman that was servicing the dining area was very welcoming, friendly and attentive. You dont get service like that anymore. Would recommend this location. Food was great also but service was exceptional. Five stars all around. Will return!

    Ayanna was amazing. I went to order my food and I'm glad she was the one helping me through the process because she was super helpful and very friendly. I told her it was my first time and she helped me pick the best things on their menu. At the end she also gave me a vulture so the next time I go i can get a free sandwich. She also gave me a drink of the house which was great. Now the food was pretty good. I got the brisket and the ribs with a side of Mac and cheese. The brisket was alright, some parts of it we incredibly salty and some didn't have any flavor but because they had a bunch of different BBQ sauces on each table for you to use it helped. The ribs were pretty good as well and so was the Mac and cheese. I will be coming here again though to try more of the things on their menu.

    The food was good, sauces were great. The service tho was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the ribs and the pulled pork. We got the brisket but it was a little dry for me. My favorite BBQ was the old bay one. It had the perfect little kick. Everyone there was so helpful, accommodating and just nice all around. I would come back just for the atmosphere itself

    A few of us was recommended Mission BBQ since we wanted something different. This spot is located on Rockville Pike near other restaurants and has a private parking lot with lots of spaces. After looking over the menu which has plenty of options, we placed our order online which was fairly easy. GRILLED SHRIMP ($13.84) The size is just as i wished and grilled to perfection, this was sooooo good esp with the BBQ sauce. I'm glad they have seafood options instead of just meats. SALMON ($15) They give a decent size and it was cooked well, I just wished it was grilled like the shrimp. It have more baked that grilled in my opinion. If this had char marks with extra smoky flavor, it would be perfect for me plus with the BBQ sauce, chefs kiss. MAC N CHEESE ($3.39) Sadly, I was disappointed in the mac n cheese, it wasn't flavorful nor cheesy in how I expected. The presentation was beautiful but the taste didn't match expectations. Maybe using a different cheeses and/or sauce base and adding more seasoning might help. CORN ON THE COB & DRINK DEAL ($5.75) I haven't had corn in forever but this was good esp being grilled and buttery. I got 1/2 tea 1/2 lemonade and BABYYYYY this was perfect!!! This drink alone needed to be in a gallon container bc the way I wanted more was insane lol. CORNBREAD (FREE) It was a cute size, definitely perfect for the meal but if you can eat it all, you must have a big appetite because the food was beyond filing. I wish it came with butter and a honey drizzle. BBQ SAUCES (VARIETY) I love the sauces but my favorite is the HONEY HEAT, spicy with a touch of sweetness. I like how they give you as much as needed and perfect for finding what's fits your tastebuds. Customer Service was nice and accommodating especially after messing up part of our order. It was greatly appreciated for them to fix their mistake which is recognized. I wished they had better meal deals/pricing and some improvement on some sides/food. Overall, I'm glad to try this spot.

    Mission BBQ catered an event at the National Mall on Memorial Day I attended. Everything came out fabulous and our veterans all came through with smiles and heartfelt gratitude.

    Burger and fries!
    Peter L.

    Best burger for the money! Huge, huge and ground brisket! BEST BURGER! PERIOD! If you ever want a burger this is your best bet period! Who knew?

    Three of the 6 bbq sauces available.

    Came for lunch today. I got the 2-item platter with two sides, as did my partner. Between the two of us, we got moist brisket, ribs and classic sausage. For sides, we got cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans. Each platter comes with a cornbread. Ok, so here goes. The sausage and ribs were delicious. The sides were delicious. The corn bread was delicious. And the moist brisket was . . . Brisket. It wasn't particularly moist and it tasted like what I would get if I bought a brisket at the grocery store and cooked it myself. It tasted like a piece of brisket. No smokiness, no sense of it being cooked for hours with any particular style or care. It's really disappointing. Like, I'm not getting that again. I watched as the kitchen sliced it and I could tell while watching that it was not particularly moist. The people working there were friendly and came by a couple of times to see how we were doing and to clear off the table when one of us was done. There are six sauces available and each is different, with varying degrees of spiciness and sweetness. Of the six, I preferred the Memphis Belle, Smoky Mountain and Tupelo Honey Heat. The sauces remind me of one other thing. To me (I lived 7 years in Texas outside of Houston), moist brisket should be outstanding on its own and shouldn't need sauce. But this brisket, being neither particularly moist (we both asked for moist) or unique, benefited from a liberal use of sauce. Unfortunately. I'd like to give the place a 3.5 because the brisket is so disappointing, but am rounding up for the friendly staff, the sausage and ribs were good, and the availability of 6 interesting and tasty bbq sauces.

    The fatty brisket.
    Papa G.

    I was looking forward to mission bbq after visiting the Germantown location. I ordered the brisket here and it was ALL fat. I got a severe stomach ache and had to miss work. I think I got food poisoning and wish I knew how to report it. They only had one stall occupied by another patron who was having issues too. Lessons learned... not all mbbq's are the same.

    Cheeseburger, pulled pork sandwich, fries
    Will B.

    Service was great. All the workers were very helpful and friendly. I did not expect them to come around and offer samples of pulled pork. The food The meat here is great, crispy and melts in your mouth. My favorite sauce was the Bay-B-Q. One thing though is I wish they toasted the bread on the sandwiches and gave them a little crisp. It was like straight from the bag to the platter. The menu was reasonably priced except for the wings which were dry and too overpriced for me. The Ambiance Don't know where to begin. Amazing vibes here. From the pictures on the walls to the military style barrel trash can and metal platters very cool. Makes me more patriotic every time I walk in. I saw one lady working on her laptop here like at a coffee shop so I must not be the only one that likes it here. Best place to grub in wintergreen. Worth a visit.

    Baby back ribs
    Stuart M.

    The place has a nice retro feel. WWII photos on the wall. Rustic decor. Friendly service. I had the turkey. Moist, tender and an assortment of sauces to dress it up. My sides were cole slaw, and greens. Both were properly done. My wife had lean brisket. It was tender despite being less fatty. It had those charred ends that brought added depth to the meat. The same sauces as with the turkey, were useful adjuncts to the meat. Serious eats without the unnecessary frills. That works for me.

    Brisket with greens
    David W.

    Great time with my baby the other day we decided to stop off at the Rockville location and have dinner and yes it was delicious as always, the brisket was nice and tender beans and greens very tasty. The service was excellent we received our food before we could even fill our drinks so that's always a good thing. Nice and warm feel to the dining area.

We were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant is located in the main shop area of Rockville Town Square. There is plenty of parking available with nearby garages and street parking. We decided to do the AYCE Classic Set, there is a 90 minute limit and you are handed an iPad to order your selections. There is a limit of items that you can add... if I recall it was 10-15ish? Then once you submit an order you have a 5 minute limit before you can order your next batch of items. We ordered so many items, some of our favorites outside of the BBQ meats were: - Spicy Tuna Tartare - Shishito Peppers - Garlic Cucumber - Kuro Squid Noodle The meats were all high quality with generous portions. The time limit and wait times between orders were reasonable, we all left super full with time to spare. My two toddlers ate for free, I do not recall the cutoff age, but they are 1 and 3 if that gives some perspective. The food was excellent and the service matched. Our server David was very attentive, checking on us multiple times to clear plates and see if we needed anything. The table space has limited space due to the grill in the middle, but he was on top of making sure we were comfortable and taken care of. I really appreciated the extra time he took with actual plate placement, nothing hot close to the toddlers and even calling out when placing a hot item down to make sure hands and arms were clear. Delicious food, great service and perfect for families or large groups, I will definitely be coming back in the future :)

We were a group of three adults and four children and decided to order different items since we didn't live in the area and weren't sure if we would be back.

I ordered a Wagyu Brisket sandwich with Brisket beans and mac n cheese as the sides. I also ordered 1/2 pound of spare ribs. My son ordered a brisket sandwich, barbecue chicken, corn bread, coleslaw. Brisket and ribs super tender and barbecue sauce was good, but I'm from Kansas and Kansas City barbecue spots have better sauce Their sauce was a little too thin and ran off the meat. Everything was smoked to perfection except for the chicken. I heard that the chicken was kind of flavorless and a little dry. I didn't have any, but my son, his wife and kids did and so that was something that we wouldn't order again. Very nice and pleasant employees and decent prices although the sides were too small of portions.

Andrew is genuinely one of the best servers I've had anywhere. Super professional without feeling stiff, really easy to talk to, and just completely on top of everything. He managed the grill perfectly the whole time, paced the meat so nothing felt rushed or slow, and kept the heat just right without us ever having to ask. Our table never sat empty either. Banchan refills came out fast, drinks stayed full, and everything just flowed. What stood out the most was how seamless the entire experience felt. You don't realize how much that matters until you have someone who does it this well. It made the whole meal way more enjoyable. On top of that, the food here is already great and for $45 AYCE it's honestly a steal. But having Andrew take care of us twice now is what really made me want to leave this review.

This is a downside, but they are very good one of my favorite things of them is that they have the perfect amount of spice to get me out of my comfort zone, but not be torture me.(I have an above average spice tolerance.) Cheesling wings. I normally love these things, but I normally get them in boneless. I asked for them boneless to the person taking orders. I got home and realized I hadn't gotten boneless (also bone in wings cost a dollar more. Yes, I was charged for bone-in wings. I looked at the receipt.) Cheesling fries. These were ok, but I don't think the cheese powder added much (it was very sweet. Almost gross but bearable) to them next time. I'll probably just get the regular fries. I will continue to eat from here. But I will be contacting the store tomorrow about my wings not being boneless. The ambience was OK multiple televisions playing multiple different programs and a nice looking bar. Another problem was that Maps app says that this place is open till nine but my friends and I got there at 8:30 and the person working upfront said that we have to order takeout and they don't serve food in front past eight
