What's not to like? Everything juicy, everything flavorful with that smoky juice just oozing through every bite. If the food want so filling I'd be back there more often! If you have this for lunch, you can skip dinner. That probably saves you some money! Mac n cheese was super creamy, and the hush puppies weren't hushed at all in flavor. I would say, not a bad experience yet, and I usually visit a place several times prior to giving a review. You should consider adding Mission as your staple for bbq places! And to boot, they support vets. read more

Mission BBQ - Lunch - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Matthews, Kentucky

Personally, my visit was an unpleasant visit. The lady receiving my order was quite rude. I asked if the Mac and cheese was baked or creamy and her response was, " its Mac and cheese lady " lol so, that was the beginning of a negative experience. I wasn't wild for the food either. So, I won't be back to give it another chance - as the service was quite terrible from the lady taking my order. read more

I have been to Mission BBQ numerous times and I love the turkey. I went in today though and was so dry it broke into pieces without being moist like it usually is. It is really expensive but it used to be worth it. I want to go back but I am afraid it will be more of the same read more

Delicious brisket great sauces, and wonderful food all around. I have never had anything bad at Mission. Service is always great.

Tasty BBQ place with different menu options such as chicken, pulled pork and brisket. Cornbread was sweet and fresh. The selection of bbq sauces was excellent and they have them labeled on the tables. For the black plate shrimp, I was also provided a white BBQ sauce that was excellent and had a bit of tangyness to it. My tween ordered a whole pulled pork sandwich and said it was one of the best sandwiches he's had. Location was easy to find and lots of parking. They had a great selection of bottles drinks and we discovered a really great craft soda. You can purchase these individually which was a nice feature. Will def comeback and try some more items!! read more

Mistakenly went here expecting great bbq. Very disappointing. Ribs were uncooked. Brisket also could have been better. Should have gone to a non chain for bbq read more

Food was great. Staff was very friendly. We got our food fast. I will definitely be going back and highly recommend it.

Great food and great service! We have come here several times and it is a very consistent with the quality they provide. I love bbq and I have not had a bad thing yet (brisket and pulled pork are my favorites). They are over the top with the friendliness. From when you walk and they are smiling and creating you. They prepare your food quickly and they check on you while you eat. I make sure to eat here at least once a month. On another note, they way they honor military and first responders is also outstanding! read more

Still a great visit, went early to beat the Father's Day rush! Counter ordering was quick & efficient. Staff not as friendly as usual but the place was also getting busy. I was sad to see the oh so delicious cheesy potatoes not on the sides menu, tragic. In their place is potato salad which was a bit spicy and...meh. I hope that they bring the cheesy potatoes back ASAP! Love the meats, appreciate their Mission! read more

I had the moist brisket sandwich with fries, which was very good. They had 6 different BBQ sauces on the table, offering a nice variety of flavors. The chocolate dessert was amazing and highly recommended. In addition to great food, the atmosphere and decor honored veterans and firefighters. A wide variety of interesting items were all around. The service was excellent. You have to try Mission BBQ! read more

Good food and customer service. The environment was clean and management paid tribute to the Armed Forces personnel.

It was Great ,will be back and it was definitely a new favorite to my boys!! Support for our Vets is amazing also! read more

We stopped here for dinner after seeing the Louisville Light caverns. The place was well lit, and decor was just right. The staff was super cheerful and pleasant! Let me say, their mac and cheese is phenomenal! I am lactose intolerant and I think it will be worth it! I got the short ribs (and the corn bread is super good!). Everyone loved what they ordered in the party, and the portion is good. Everyone struggled to finish their meal; the struggle because it was so good, we were so full, but we did not want to waste it. We will definitely be back! Wish there was one closer to Dayton,OH because its better than City BBQ Tip, look in the tool box for your wetnaps..toothpick.. straws... lids and etc. read more

After being treated to a catered lunch of Mission BBQ during a work trip in Evansville, I was excited to visit Louisville's and spotted good reviews from other Yelpers. My family came for a late lunch, missing their daily singing of the national anthem at noon. Since it was our first time, we grabbed a menu from the front and sat at a booth before ordering. All items are ala carte - pick your meat(s), side(s) and drink. Combo pricing is available and sides come in various sizes. While you can do a pick 2 or 3 meat option, I didn't spot where you can buy a meat by the pound. My son and I split a 3 meat option and it was plenty. I also appreciated that we could order double of the pulled pork instead of having all 3 meats different. My husband got the sausage - it's a lot! And my youngest got a chicken slider from the kids menu. It was just one so an older kid may complain it's not enough. The kids meal also comes with a side and drink. 6 BBQ sauces are available. All good! We had fun sampling all of them. For sides, we enjoyed the slaw, green beans, fries and mac n cheese. You also get a few buns to make sandwiches and a side of cornbread. The cornbread was dry and overcooked - very brown on both sides. We also loved the atmosphere, reading about the restaurant mission, looking at the badges all over the store. There's plenty of seating and workers coming around to clear off plates, etc. read more

It's good, they're always willing to fix or remake if there is any issues so that's always helpful. The sauce is great!

The meats are delicious. The fries are like boardwalk fries. The ambience is casual and patriotic with pictures and patches of all branches of military service and law enforcement. The folks are dryas are the customers. They have brisket chicken pork. Worth the trip! read more

Whenever I start getting homesick for Maryland I just pop into Mission BBQ This place is consistently great! Great food, friendly folks and great casual Maryland ambiance. Navy jerseys on the wall and an Old Bay barbecue sauce you can smother onto your food. I stopped in for lunch to get a combo platter. I decided to try the salmon along with my brisket to mix things up. You know, surf and turf babe Wow what a great decision! The salmon was moist, not overpowered by seasoning and just plain delicious. I ate it without even putting any sauce on it. As usual the brisket was delicious but I did try almost every sauce option on the brisket. They were all good depending on what your looking for. I had the baked beans and Mac n cheese for my sides. The beans were good but the Mac n cheese was awesome. Anyway hit these guys up every chance you get. On top of great food, the restaurant is very clean and you can tell the folks working here take pride in the place. read more

Let me begin by expressing my gratitude to all our American Heros. Mission BBQ has the BEST ribs I have ever had! The atmosphere is truly Patriotic and I just love everything about this place. I am truly grateful that I have one in my home town! read more

Mission BBQ is just an overall incredible establishment. The food is amazing and their patriotism is unbelievable. We always go for pulled pork and lean brisket paired with baked beans and Mac n cheese. Every BBQ sauce is delicious, BUT ask for their house "honey mustard dressing" sauce for a real treat. The staff is always incredibly professional and we have never waited longer than just a couple minutes for our food (dine in as well as carry out). read more

Great food and service. The barbecue was smoky and tasty. Love the ambiance here with emphasis on our military. I really enjoyed the smoked brisket and my sandwich was loaded with big pieces of tender beef. The cheesy potatoes were excellent and the beans were smoky and full of brisket too. My husband had the ribs and they were fall off the bone tender. Just an excellent place in every way to enjoy fabulous bbq. Highly recommend read more

This year the family decided we wanted to order our Thanksgiving meal from Mission BBQ, Louisville, KY. What a blessing! We went through catering and everything was perfect! Plenty of food, wonderful staff, good pricing, on time, and plenty of utensils. Our table looked wonderful. We plan to make this a yearly thing, now! Keep it up, please. read more

Finally stopped in one night for a quick dinner. I don't think we'd heard anything but positive comments about this place. Walked in not really knowing what to expect. Figured out the menu and ordered a pork sandwich with fries and Mac and cheese. Water and a west sixth 15.83. We waited for our doors and then found a seat. The fries were hot and fresh and had a great seasoning on them. The pork sandwich was piled high with some moist meat. The table had 6 different sauces to sample and use. But let me tell you about that Mac and cheese Shut the front door it was phenomenal! Not even done with our dinner and he said we are going to need a bigger serving of that to go!! We will be back!! read more

Good BBQ, good atmosphere, good options. Mission BBQ is a chain restaurant across the U.S (Although there is only one in Kentucky) that offers a large menu of BBQ options like pork, ribs, turkey, etc. It is counter service style, so the food comes out pretty quick. They've got a bucket full of vintage sodas along with a regular soda fountain. The design of this place looks really neat; a lot of military paraphernalia on the walls. The food itself was pretty great, I ordered the brisket (and they are VERY generous with how much they give you!!) I love all of the different sauces they have; different BBQ's from multiple Southern states. I was very impressed with the service also. A girl came up and made sure we had everything we needed, and then came back to give us some samples! Awesome place if you're in the mood for BBQ. read more

Pulled Pork was amazing! The staff was so warm and friendly, I was there at noon an got a beautiful scene of everyone singing The Star-Spangled Banner! Loved my lunch break read more

First off. MERICA. Second, if you haven't had Mission BBQ yet, slap yourself. Then come get Mission BBQ. Not only does the restaurant look super badass with all the pictures of motivators on the walls and sweet military gear, but the food and service seal the deal. This company is a major supporter of our active military, veterans and first responders, which as a Marine Corps veteran and a father who's a Firefighter, I love. Every time I travel through here I get their Smoked Moist Brisket. Yea that's right it's called MOIST BRISKET. It's the best MRE you'll ever have. Not an actual MRE, but pretty damn close cause the food has been smokin for 14 hours now ready to go waiting for your a$$ to get over here and eat it. Flavor so good it'll make you lock your nasty body at attention with BBQ dripping down your face, while the Star Spangled Banner is playing and the flag is waving behind you. Rah! read more

I love Mission's mission!! I love that they are patriotic and passionate about honoring our heroes. I ordered the pulled pork and mac n cheese as my side. I thought both were great! The employees are also great! It was a little bit of a lull, and we happened to be one of the only people dining here. We had mentioned to the lady who served us that it was our first time in, so she brought us a free basket of fries. I thought this was very thoughtful! I'll definitely be back to this location! read more

First, I'd like it noted this is my 100th review! Woo hoo! Lol. Ok, mission bbq was the bombdiggity!! I had a brisket sandwich with potato salad and baked beans. Honestly, I could not stop eating. Every bite of each part of my meal was awesome! That brisket sandwich was already sauced but so goooood!! The beans had great flavor and I don't know how they seasoned the potato salad but YUMMY!!!! I loved the decor too. #america read more

This is probably a chain, but the first one I have I have been to. For me, a good bbq place needs good meats, good sauce, good iced tea and good sides. This place comes pretty close to hitting all the marks. I had the "moist" brisket, which means the fatty part (or flavor part) of the brisket. However you can also get the lean cut brisket. The brisket itself was cooked perfectly, slightly Smokey and tender. The sauces. I am a condiments queen. I love sauces. There are 7 sauces on the table plus more at the drink station. Everything from Texas to Kansas City to old Bay sauce. You will find some sauce you like. I loved the unique old Bay sauce. For sides I had to try the mac-n-cheese and the Cole slaw. The coleslaw wasn't the typical over creamy style. It might have been a vinegar based. It was good but nothing to write home about. The mac-n-cheese was good. The noodles were tender but not an over cooked mush. They had a creamy consistency, but the pull of real cheese in it. It was also topped with a crumb topping. Again, it was good but not the best ever. And they had fresh iced tea. I had 2 glasses while I was there. Everything was served ala cart so things can add up quickly. My sandwich combo with 2 sides and a drink (plus a donation to the USO) was over $15. Yikes! Overall, I want this chain to come to Lexington. read more

VALUE, DELICIOUSNESS, CUSTOMER SERVICE Yes, this is beating all the rest in value, deliciousness and customer service. Pick ur entree, sandwich....add 1 side and drink for $3.59 or 2 sides and drink for $4. Great deal!! Pulled meats, large, tender and moist. Enough said. Don't forget to ask about seasonal sides. You may have choice of banana pudding as a side. And.....great mac and cheese..... friends said every side, they loved. Lots of tables, casual and very comfortable!! read more

If you are looking for some good lemonade some good tea and some good baby back ribs which hardly any of the barbecue places sells baby back ribs this place their baby back ribs are so so good you want to go and smack your grandma, Not Your mama or your Grandmama I was absolutely shocked on how good it was the sides or just mediocre but I will keep coming back just because of the lemonade and tea and the baby back ribs but everything else is just mediocre read more

Mission BBQ hits the mark for fresh food, fast service, and a convenient location. Wanting recently to catch up with a good friend, we decided on dinner and wanted to split the distance between where we each live. She suggested Mission BBQ, and while BBQ usually doesn't top my list of places to visit, I decided to give this place a try. Tucked in a quiet corner of a shopping center off of busy Shelbyville Rd (across from Whole Foods), it was easy for us both to get there one day after work (although you may need to wait a while at the light right out front if you need to turn left like I did!) The space itself is clean, open, and very welcoming in a rugged, BBQ-joint kind of way. I went for a serving of pulled pork, with a side of macaroni and cheese. The smoky flavor was just right, and with a choice of sauces, I was able to sample quite a few, although it was good enough that it really didn't need any if you didn't want it to have some. The mac and cheese was also creamy and filling. Now that it's on my radar, I have a feeling I will be visiting Mission BBQ again soon, and if you get a hankering for BBQ, you should too! read more

Love the food, especially the brisket. The fries are cooked fresh and so delicious! They're very fast too.

Mission BBQ - Pulled Pork, Turkey and Brisket with Corn Bread and Sweet Potatoes. - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Matthews, Kentucky

This is one of the larger chains in Louisville for BBQ. The staff was filled with energy and helpful for selecting different meats and sides. I ended up getting two meats (brisket and jalapeño and cheddar sausage), potato salad, baked beans, and cornbread. The meats were amazing! The brisket was fatty and moist with every bite wishing i had more. The sausage was flavorful as the cheese was sharp and jalapeño provide the spice. The potato salad was not that great but the baked beans and cornbread were a nice smoky, sweet combination once mixed. read more
