Mission bbq is a nice place for a casual meal. Lots of tasty bbq options. I've tried most of them and my faves were the cheeseburger and the pulled pork sandwich but the meat sampler is also good. Brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, cant go wrong. Even the ribs are tasty. Definitely worth a stop :) read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled pork and Mac (ate a little already) - Barbeque Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Food is great. Customer service is somewhere between abysmal and unacceptable. I ordered a physical gift card. Took 14 days to arrive. Assumed it was lost somewhere in transit. During that time I sent 3 emails to the address listed asking for help and received NO response. I expect more from any responsible business. read more

I have been to this location several times. Location is always clean. The staff is always super friendly. I purchased burnt ends and french fries this last go around. This also came with cornbread. Food was absolutely delicious. I chose to get a plane so that I could try different sauces at the table. I definitely recommend going here as well as signing up for their program. You can receive a free sandwich for your birthday. read more

All our guests were so impressed. read more

Great place with awesome food! Everything is tender, delicious and finger licking good. Can't go wrong with pulled pork, brisket and cornbread with Mac and cheese! As a LEO, it was very nice seeing the memorabilia everywhere within the restaurant. Unknowingly, I even sat in a booth with my patch! They always have the hero donations to help those in need read more

Drop any preconceived notions you may have about Mission BBQ being a franchise - this spot is actually so good!! We stopped by as we were traveling down 84 looking for a quick meal, and it was exactly what we were looking for. The level of service here was truly exceptional. It was pretty near closing time, but the staff took the time to go through the menu with us, and even gave us complimentary blueberry cobbler since we were first time customers. The military memorabilia was so cool, and they gave my dad a military discount to thank him for his service (and we got a prime parking spot reserved for veterans too)! The food was delicious, with my favorite being the jalapeno and cheese sausage. We will absolutely be back, and I only wish I had tried them sooner! read more

My group of friends and I were here for an event nearby and at our hotel, when we asked for recommendations on where to eat and this place was on the list of recommendations. And, boy, were we glad that we decided to check it out. It was so good that we went the next night again! Yes, that good! Everything we ate was so good! From the sausages to all the sides and cornbread, every single thing was good. From what I can remember, this is what we had: - jalapeno sausage - so good! -baby back rib - fall off the bone so good! -brisket - you guessed it, so good! -smoke Hawaiian ribeye - this was ridiculously good! - for sides, we got the mac-n-cheese, coleslaw, collard greens, and the cornbread comes with some of the meat combos we got Oh! I almost forgot that you have to try their sauces for the meats. We loved all of them. Def try each of them to find what you like best. They even had Old Bay seasoning by the fountain drinks. If you love BBQ, you must stop by here. And, everyone was so welcoming and so nice here! We are so sad that we don't have a Mission BBQ near us, but you bet if we ever see another one, we are definitely stopping by. Tips: -You order at the counter and then wait for them to call you name. -Utensils, straws, and cup lids are all found in the toolkit across from the fountain drinks. It's pretty cool. Feel free to open each drawer to find what you need. -I loved making an Arnold Palmer (half iced tea and half lemonade) with their drink choices. -When you are done, there is usually someone who will take your trays and clean up afterwards. read more

This place is AMAZING! From the large dining area down to the smoked meats and flavorful sauces that are offered, everything is GREAT! Self service is there way but have attentive staff to make sure you have all you need while seated. Picnic type ambiance, and very clean. GO HERE! read more

They were pretty good here. The ribs and other meat we got were soft and tender like they described. I wish I had gotten a sauce to try I didn't know it wasn't glazed. The burger was fat and thick but even with all that it was bland. The Mac and cheese was decent however as well. Atmosphere seemed nice we couldn't eat in so unsure how well service is but would try again and see if it could get a full rating sometime. read more

As a person who grew up around a firehouse, the ambiance of the location was comforting and familiar. It was our first time visiting, and given the first impression we were given, we will definitely be back. The food is excellent, the pulled pork having an excellent smoky flavor. The variety of barbecue sauces available were also excellent. The lady giving us our meals (to go) was incredibly enthusiastic about the business and very sweet. She gave us free vouchers for sandwiches since it was our first visit, and a variety of their sauces. I also like that the customer doesn't have to ask for condiments aside from the bbq sauce, everything being within reach of the customer. Overall, excellent service, ambiance and food. As a family who has many military and first responders, we really appreciate the service. read more

I ll start by saying the customer service here is outstanding. Everyone is super nice and helpful. I love the warm welcome and service you get from the moment you walk in. The actual BBQ is just ok. The highlight of my meal was the jalapeño sausage. I wish the brisket was a little more moist. The sides were on the meh side as well. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Mac and cheese either. My meal totaled around 20 dollars, a little on the higher side for BBQ. Overall, it's just ok BBQ. It's what you expect from Connecticut. read more

Surprisingly good. It would be easy to dismiss this place for its armed service theme or that it's a chain but that would be a mistake. The food here is good -- not Austin BBQ good -- but well above the average BBQ you can find in this state. The service was quick and friendly and they have healthy portions too. We enjoyed the pulled pork and the brisket. Fries are worthy of a mention too. Get some fountain soda and admire and salute our first responders and our service men and women too. It's apolitical; just a way to show support across party lines. A solid place in what could be seen as a row of otherwise bland chain places. read more

This place has the best customer service of any BBQ place in town. We've been going for years and the people who work here are always so nice and respectful and kind. The cheesy potatoes are really delicious too but the people who work here are the best. Good vibes. read more

Just visiting the area for work. Picked up dinner here last night, and extremely enjoyed it! Between the two of us, we tried the brisket, turkey, pulled pork and the jalapeño and cheese sausage. Everything was amazing The sides we had were mac and cheese (delicious and NOT dry!), and the cheesy potatoes (also delicious!). Cornbread was also good. Very surprised to find Texas quality BBQ on the East Coast! (We've actually lived in Texas, we know what we're talking about ) Service was quick and friendly. The place looked great, but we were just picking up a take-out order. I'm sorry I can't post a picture, we ate everything too quickly..... We hope we get another assignment here, just so we can eat here again read more

I love Mission BBQ. The beef brisket absolutely melts in your mouth. Baked beans, Mac & Cheese, and Cornbread were all excellent. Not to mention the service was outstanding. I also love their mission to our veterans and all those that serve our country. I would support Mission BBQ just on those principles alone. I will definitely be back (often) and it's definitely worth your time to come and enjoy some great BBQ. A++ read more

My fiancé took me here since he loves it and I was pleasantly surprised. I'm always disappointed by bbq around here but everything we ordered was delicious! We ordered brisket, chicken, and ribs. All were flavorful and perfectly cooked. I definitely recommend their Texas tang sauce for the ribs! Our sides of mac and cheese, coleslaw and cornbread were amazing as well(and I don't even like cornbread). They even gave us free peach cobbler! At first I thought it was expensive but we actually ended up getting two meals out of it so it was definitely worth it. Overall, great food and customer service. We will definitely be regulars! read more

Mission BBQ - Chicken, ribs and brisket with sides - Barbeque Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Great selection of bbq, with a variety of sauces. The kids meals are definitely special. The variety of smoked meats is good. Unless you buy an xl or xxl combo, you don't get sides other than cornbread. But the sides are definitely worth it. The ribs melt in your mouth and pulled chicken is moist and plentiful. The cornbread is fresh and tasty. And the iced tea is freshly brewed and delicious. We were all too full to get the banana pudding, but will definitely be back to try that. The homage they give military and first responders is certainly appreciated. That's the mission! read more

Mission BBQ where they honor soldiers and first responders! Awesome BBQ and smoked food. With American sides like. Mac and Cheese, Collard Greens, mixed vegetables and more. This was ny first visit and I truly enjoyed. Looking at all the photos of the dalling and current heros. Very well set up the service was quick and polite. My BFF And I had the 2 meat platter with the 2 sides we both chosed the Mac And Cheese. Which was good chessy, smooth and creamy. The collard greens were different i enjoyed them, but definitely not the Greens we grew up one I had the baby back ribs, and the pulled pork. Delicious the pork melts in your mouth and the meat comes right of the bone on the ribs that BBQ Sauce very tasty and i know because I grew up putting BBQ Sauce on everything . My BFF had the mixed vegetables and mac and cheese and I think she had the brisket and some type of chicken. But naturally I will let her tell you about her meal in her Review! With that being said from my point of view, mission BBQ is definitely worth a try out if you are into BBQ! ITS a definitely must try and you get to help support our soldiers and first responders!! Its a win win!! read more

Perhaps the worst bbq I've had. I ordered a brisket sandwich slice thin. What I got was 1/4" thick slices. The brisket just fell apart (overcooked) which I would think tender, nope it was tough. I couldn't eat it. read more

I first spotted Mission BBQ in PA, and was excited to see locations in CT. My husband and I were very happy with our visit to the Southington restaurant. We received friendly service and couldn't believe that the food we had was so reasonably priced and delicious, all while being served within minutes. We tried the pulled pork, cheddar and jalapeño sausage, brisket, mac and cheese, and fries. Every single item was tasty. I was especially happy to find the mac cheese to be cheesy and not dry. Mac and cheese typically lets me down at many of our local barbecue places, but not at Mission! I've already recommended this place to some friends. I haven't found anything like it in our area. Can't wait to go back soon!! read more

My second time coming here. The first time was ok but I decided to give them a second chance. Unfortunately, the food and the prices were a letdown.Brisket was way to salty. Green beans were also salty. The portions are to small for the price. The whole military theme they got going seems a little to contrived just to stir up business. Staff are friendly on the surface but doesn't seem to be genuine just a ploy to get more money from the customers. $30 for a meal is to expensive. Won't be back. read more

Not sure where to begin, the customer service and the food were both INCREDIBLE!!!! We received such wonderful customer service from start to finish!! When we finished with our order and were walking out, our 5 yr old decided he wanted a lemonade. Went back to counter to buy another and they just gave us a cup, complimentary! We were sold before we even ate the food. Also, our food was ready in less than 5 minutes. So, onto the food! We got a 3 meat sampler with brisket, turkey, and pulled pork. We got 3 sides as well, baked Mac n cheese, baked beans, and cheesy potatoes. Asked for KC Classic sauce and Smoky Mountain sauce on the side. When I tell you that everything was amazing and mouth-watering I am NOT exaggerating! The brisket was juicy and tasty, the turkey was moist and appetizing, and the pulled pork was the best I have had. The Mac n chz was epic and the cheesy mashed potatoes were just as satisfying. Let me tell you about the baked beans (with brisket), the best we have ever had!! And, when I tried the KC classic sauce, I poured it over everything on my plate. Soooooo good!!! This place is ten steps above the rest. Well done, Mission BBQ!!! read more

I'm not going to lie, I was on a mission tonight. A food mission. To a place we had never eaten dinner before. And Mission BBQ popped up in my Yelp feed and I saw BBQ and said yup, that's what we are having for dinner. We arrived just before the dinner rush and omgosh are we happy we got there when we did. My husband is a fireman so without question we both got the special american heroes cups. $2 from every purchase of these goes to non-profits and you can bring it back in for $0.99 refills. They also have a rewards program for police, fire, first responders, and service men/women. The inside is covered with patches, stickers, and memorabilia and is totally awesome to see. Ok so any place that has a Play Like A Champion Today sign is awesome in my book (go Irish). But I digress. The bathroom was one of the most clean and well decorated I've ever seen, with WWI photos on the walls. Everywhere you look in the whole place there's something different and inspirational. Finally. My food review. Um.......I'll be back. The brisket and pulled pork were perfection and I'm now obsessed with their Smoky Mountain bbq and I need to for sure have more of it in my life. I tried all 6 sauces and it was by far my fave. The cornbread is pretty good, but I brought it home so I could have it with butter. The green beans were amazing and I can't wait to come back and try more of their sides. I have a feeling Jay and I are about to become regulars. :) read more

Mission BBQ has a theme and it sticks to 100%. Its all about those who have served in Armed Forces or are currently active. I had the joy of having my first visit on Veterans Day (oddly enough). The decor is all Armed Force themed with jerseys from their sports teams. Attire worn by those who serve and the decor that makes you feel very Patriotic. They sold these special cups for $2 more that allowed you to donate to the cause. That was awesome. They also have collection boxes near the condiments that ask for supplies needed for soldiers who are actively serving. This is so great to see and it really gives me that warm feeling inside to see such caring from a company. Then there is the food. Good old fashion BBQ with some pretty delicious Mac N Cheese that I think had little bits of bacon in it. My wife and I both got the Pulled Pork sandwich. They were very delicious and each table has an assortment of sauces to put on your Pulled Pork to make it the way you want. So this really leaves the experience and taste up to you which is alwayd good. I do wish that they used a different bun for the sandwich. Maybe something with less thickness or a harder bread. The buns we had fell apart as we ate them before we were half way through the meal. All in all it was well worth the trip and for the food was able to compete with fellow options on Queen St. I will be back again. Even if it part of that reason is just to help and donate toward a great cause read more

I love a good story about some amazing food with A1 Customer Service and that is exactly what we have going on over here Family! Mission BBQ in Southington, CT is definitely a nice looking, classy restaurant on the outside and that is mostly because of the design but they also just opened not too long ago. When entering the establishment for lunch, there was a small rush of people but more were making their way inside. The walls full of veteran memorabilia and you can tell whomever owns Mission BBQ is all about the history of the great ones along with current and future Men & Women providing their services. I placed my order and was on my way all within 15 minutes. Upon sitting down, there was a holder with 6 different types of sauces ranging from sweet and savory to spicy but I am here to get at this food direct, with no sauces included. I took a bite of my baked beans and brisket and can we say, savory indeed? The hickory flare was enough to add ultra pop to my tastebuds. The level of soft bean enjoyment without the sauce being mushy, made me a happy camper. Beans with the smokey outback flavor of a great family cookout but inside of a BBQ location is all I need for my side to provide. However, I am here for the ribs and MISSION BBQ did not disappoint. The bones for these ribs ran away! Do you hear what I am telling you? These bones had nothing to hold onto, that could possibly keep them in place for the meat was so tender. I simply looked at a rib and the bone quivered in fear and just fell out on its own after apologizing for even being there. I hit that rib meat and an explosion of flavor slapped me in my face and didn't even ask my name! Seared up loving and a bite of delight that had me not acting right!! That is what RIBS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO in my book! I thought I had 5 ribs and I am sure that I did but I ate them so fast, I didn't notice nor did I care to notice! I was a happy Man!! They gave me some banana pudding too and that sweet little treat, sparked an interest in bananas that simply was not there before. The flavor was great overall, the whipped cream, soft and fluffy and plenty of banana chunks along with the light crisp of the vanilla wafer; to send me into a craze unknown, complete with joy and a full understanding that I need to come back and SOON! read more
