Not just another BBQ Joint! Fast, friendly service. Pleasantly surprised by the "Hero" theme. Tribute to 9/11. And the Military. Not a dry eye at noon when they collectively sing the National Anthem!! Ok as far as the food!, Great Brisket. I had the "lean" sliced, lean as in not the fat bits. It was good, seasoned well thru and a nice pink smoke line. My Husband has the chopped brisket sandwich......really good, juicy, tender and full of flavor. They offer six different sauces, tasted all! All good! The meat has such great smoked, dry rub flavor it stands fine on its own. We had the fries, couldn't resist, as we saw other with them in their basket. Delicious, hand cut, fresh hot, Saltly goodness. The potato salad was good. Beans smoky good. Nice sweet cornbread is good for sop read more

So busy they were a little unorganized with our large order but the service was so good as was the food; no bad review can be given. I'm picky about BBQ. This was good. The different sauces we were given to try were all good. And the prices did not seem out of line. Will definitely be back. read more

I have only eaten here twice but both time I was extremely pleased with BBQ, service and ambience. The portions are substantial, tasty served up by a friendly staff. I believe the amount of meat served is more than most other BBQ restaurants. I particularly enjoy the the service theme of the restaurant. read more

Great place; friendly and happy staff. Fast service and of course awesome food at a good price!

Exceptional service, exceptional atmosphere, exceptional food, and exceptional display of support for first responders and military. We absolutely loved this place and highly recommend. My 19 year old son and I determined the baby back ribs are the beat we've had. And we loved all the bottled specialty drinks. If it's your first time have them explain things to you, it's fun and informative. read more

The fries were good. The brisket was terrible. Will never waste my money here again. Service was quick and staff was friendly. Not crowded at all. I understand why. It's a shame I was hoping for so much more. read more

Really good sides but just okay meat. I made the mistake of getting the chopped brisket which was drowning in sauce (and I usually enjoy wet BBQ but this was just too much). The smoked turkey and brisket were dry. Nice variety of sauces. Mac and cheese, potato salad and fries were great and the banana pudding was just okay...need more banana flavor. I love what this place stands for though. The entire place is decorated with military stuff along with veteran parking. I'd like to give it another try and check out some different meats. read more

I rarely give out a 5 star review but everything about my first visit to Mission BBQ was absolutely perfect! I ordered a 3 Meat Sampler with Brisket (moist), Cheddar Jalapeno Sausage and Turkey, very quickly re-ordered a 5 Bone Spare Ribs (St. Louis Style) after I tasted the brisket, usually I wait until 2nd or 3rd visit to try the ribs at most places only if the initial experience warrants it! The selection of different sauces only accentuated the beautifully smoked, juicy, well seasoned meats and sides! The clean, well lit dining area and the overall atmosphere (collection of pictures, memorabilia to honor first responders and armed forces decked the walls throughout) was refreshing for a barbecue restaurant! Looking forward to a return visit very soon! read more

My first time a few days back but it wont be my last. Great service, great food and great atmosphere. Just a awesome restaurant.

This place was soooo good! Friendly staff and fast service. Some of the best bbq around here I personally think. Brisket and pulled pork were amazing! read more

This was a great atmosphere and the food was amazing! I had the salmon and put some of the Memphis belle barbecue sauce on it and it was to die for. My sides were the fries which were great and the cold slaw which I added their NC vinegar on it and it was awesome! While we were there they recognized a world war 2 veteran. Love it! We will be back! Had dinner with my guy. read more

Visited here 6:30 on a Saturday evening, not long to order or reveive food. Really great find. Tried the Smoked Meatloaf with baked cheesy potatoes and cornbread ..very well seasoned potatoes with just the right amount of cheese, melted in your mouth. The cornbread has the perfect hint of sweet and the texture is cornbread not cake like at all. AND the Smoked Meatloaf was smoked to perfection..slightly pinked all the way through with a side of ketchup that had a little bite at the end. Healthy servings and very friendly, helpful staff. read more

The brisket! The ribs! I've never had a bad meal here and the staff always seem delighted to see me. It's a bit expensive but for this caliber BBQ it's a deal. read more

We brought in takeout from Mission tonight for the first time. Delicious! We had the chicken, turkey, baked beans, cole slaw and a salad. We'll be back. read more

Gave them a call for curbside p/u during Covid. Never been before but would definitely go back. Had the moist brisket, really good! Peppery fries, bacon filled green beans and very flavorful cornbread were my sides. Good job on the food and service! read more

This place is simply amazing. The food is great, always fast, hot and fresh. I've never had a meal here I haven't liked. Although, the staff is what makes it 6 stars if that's a thing! I have been here multiple times and it's never been any thing short of a pleasant experience. The staff is so friendly and helpful! Thanks for a great environment with great food! Highly recommend. read more

We had their BBQ catered in for us today at work. I must say this was by far the best I have had in quite some time. The jalapeno and cheese sausage was my favorite. I'm not usually a fan of macaroni and cheese, but this was delicious. The green beans too were better than any other I have had from most BBQ places. I'm definitely going to visit once they open the Clarksville location. read more

A BBQ joint that expands the menu to have salmon & smoked ribeye steak. Finally sides that are more then 3 scoops. Plus a refillable cup you can be proud of because of its size. Love it It has easy to get in & out parking. Overall our experience was more than we expected. read more

Wow! Some of the best brisket I've had. I tried the sampler and the pulled pork and chicken were also very good. Smoky mountain sauce was amazing. Mac and cheese and fries were tasty and the sweet tea was perfect. Staff was courteous and did a good job explaining the menu and ordering options. This will be my new go-to for barbecue! read more

This place is absolutely AMAZING! Love that they honor the military, law enforcement and first responders. Food is outstanding! Everyday at noon the national anthem is played, can't get any better than that! read more

The workers are so friendly and the cook times are fast!! Not to mention, the food is DELICIOUS!!! Also, the best sweet tea I've ever had in a restaurant. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Excellent BBQ! Fresh homemade sides! The baby back ribs were soooo good. Try Mission BBQ you will not be disappointed read more

We visited Mission BBQ for the first time and we really enjoyed it. My husband and I both tried the ribs and brisket. Both were delicious. We liked all of the sides and their selection of barbecue sauces was impressive. We will be back! read more

I have been to many BBQ restaurants in many states and locations. This is head and shoulders better than any other BBQ place I've ever been in. The decor is perfect. Everything on the menu is a la carte. The fact that they offer a sampler is absolutely wonderful in a world where you never know how they do their BBQ vs everyone else. While brisket is the obvious choice, I would HIGHLY recommend the turkey. read more

Just came here for the first time and the food is great and the service is even better. They have a "mission" statement anyone can get behind. I would definitely come here again. read more

Really cool inside. Very clean and they have a lot of sauces to try. A little expensive but it's a cool experience

Food was fantastic as well as the service. Love how they are very supportive of military law enforcement and fire fighters

Tonight I had to venture out alone for a bite to eat, my wife is usually with me but had to work so I decided on some BBQ at Mission BBQ. The building is very roomy and the restaurant was packed at 7:15 on a Monday night which I found impressive. I ordered the 5 bone baby back ribs without sides, I usually indulge in sides on the weekends and stay to the keto diet throughout the week. Well, I was very surprised at the huge slab I received, it looked like half a rack, I actually got worried it might be to much, but I ate it all. When you hear the word the phrase fall off the bone, well their ribs could be the picture in the dictionary. Literally once I dug a knife in to separate the ribs, the meat just fell right off. The flavor was excellent. What pushed this place to the top was the interaction the employees had with the customers from the beginning to when you leave. It was almost, let me repeat almost as good as Chick Fila customer service and interaction. So it means they really make an effort to ensure you are satisfied with your meal and happy when you leave. This is a great choice in the east end for BBQ. read more

Have eaten here several times and I must say this place is amazing. The wait staff is most friendly and helpful. The food is very good. I have tried most everything on the menu. All the meats are delicious. They rotate specials each month and they are all different from the regular menu. They also have different side specials each month. They only side I did not care for was the mac and cheese. The green beans, collard greens were excellent. I tried the apple cobbler last time I was there and was impressed. Make this place a regular stop and you will keep coming back. read more

This place was frickin awesome!! Walk in and my nose walked me right to the counter. Tell Josie it's your first time in there and she will give the best explanation(happy bubbly personable patient). I had the brisket and smoked pastrami collared greens were awesome too! read more

Brisket was very good, and moist. Just melts in your mouth. Fries were good but a little salty. Cole slaw was pretty good as well and excellent customer service. read more

Hands down....one of THE BEST places we've ever eaten! The presentation of the food is more than '5-Star' The entire place is decorated '100-Star' ....def represented a true 'Military' feel Their soda based choices are all "old-school" bottled / labeled, which brings out the amazing scenery even more read more

Was going to give zero stars but it wouldn't let me. Ate there Sunday and someone working must of been sick because my whole family got a GI infection! Now my three month old caught it from us. I will NEVER go back to this place. Also the food sucked anyway! read more

Pretty good barbecue place to eat staff is very friendly greet you when you come in the door the restaurant is military-themed with pictures representing all of our branches of the military I got the three meat plate consisting of brisket pulled pork and jalapeno cheddar sausage the brisket was a little dry the pork was pretty good and the sausage was really good got the mac and cheese as a side it was really good also had the green beans they were really good also my wife had the two meat plate consisting of ribs and chicken the ribs were fall-off-the-bone very tasty the chicken was good moist she had baked beans they were good and read more

See all

By far the best BBQ in the city. My girlfriend and I each got a 2 meat sampler. We tried the chicken, pulled pork, brisket & smoked jalapeño sausage. Everything was excellent. On top of the food, the staff is friendly & well trained. The atmosphere is great. We'll be back...maybe tomorrow. read more

AMAZING BBQ! Absolute favorite place to go for BBQ. Staff is so friendly and nice and the food is exceptional. Their pork is my personal favorite but they have so many different options. Best part is that you are supporting our nation's troops! read more

The ribs melted my souls away. Service was excellent. We were first time comers and they stepped outside to walk us through the menu. Loved the armed forces/service member theme. As a veteran, it rings home to me and much love and support. Will definitely return! read more

The decoration and atmosphere are awesome. The staff is attentive and friendly. This is a restaurant that honors and supports vets and all those who wore the uniform. One walks up to place one's order and pre-pays. Drinks are self-serve and food is brought to the table. The pulled chicken is great, the ribs are fall off the bone tender and the Mac and cheese is in a close race with Joella's for the best in Louisville. The baked beans and green beans are about average. Mission boasts six a number of different sauces from sweet to spicy to Smokey or mustard based. Irrespective of your taste, you'll find one to suit you. read more

Admittedly I'm not a huge bbq fan but we were celebrating a family birthday and we've heard good things about this place so we were excited to give it a try. Since it was our first time we ordered the meat sampler and chose lean brisket, pulled pork, and the jalapeno cheddar sausage. The brisket was good, the pork was better (not dry at all), and the sausage was my favorite of the meats. It was fun having so many different sauces to try and my favorite ended up being a mixture of the Bay-B-Que and Tupelo Honey Heat. The cornbread was ok, slightly sweet (which I like) but it was dry. We tried the mac & cheese and baked beans as well. The mac wasn't anything special and the beans had an over powering flavor that we didn't care for. We're usually big baked bean fans but nobody even wanted a second bite. If another celebration should bring us back to this place I'll get the sausage and try a different side dish. Overall I was disappointed since I had read a lot of reviews about how amazing everything is but maybe we our expectations were just set too high. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and was not a bit disappointed. Brisket sandwich with several bbq sauce options. Very friendly and tasty.
