    Chopped Brisket Sandwich
    Stephanie V.

    Just beat the lunch crowd today, arriving at 11:20 am for an early lunch. This is our second time in and everything even better than last time. Customer service here is always top notch. A hostess walked by our booth today and saw Hub's Jalapeño Sausage. She recommended a mustard that goes really well with it, Georgiaah Mustard, then brought it over. Hubs agreed it was very good! Like a honey mustard. I ordered the moist brisket and smothered it in NC Vinegar Sauce that sits in a glass bottle on every table and it was delicious! A roll of paper towels and a six-pack of bbq sauces from different regions is on every table too. We ordered: - Bottle of Cheerwine - Fountain Drink - Brisket, Moist with Corn Bread, sides of Granny's Sweet Potato Mash, Kickin' Collard Greens. My large pile of sliced fresh and hot moist brisket really hit the spot today. These Collard Greens are THE BEST. You must try them. The whipped airy and creamy Sweet Potato mash with browned breadcrumbs on top was very good as well. - 3 Meat Sampler (Pulled Pork, Brisket, Jalapeño Sausage) with Corn Bread, Maggie's Mac-N-Cheese, Kickin' Collard Greens. Hubs loves these Collards too. I bet even kids would like these. I ended up dipping my cornbread in the collard juices.

    Came for lunch and unbeknownst to us, got there right when they opened. The line was immediately to the door and rightfully so. Best BBQ in town. We shared the two meat tray with brisket and pulled pork. The meat was so tender and I loved trying all the BBQ sauces. We got fries and mac and cheese for sides. I'm usually not impressed with mac and cheese at restaurants but this one was so good! Super cheesy! And the hand cut fries, fav. The free cornbread was a nice touch but it was a little dry. I love the hero cup program that they do and it's nice you can pick $1 off a combo or a 99 cent refill if you bring the cup back in. Customer service was great. The girl at the register was happy to explain the menu to us. I love all the pictures, patches and memorabilia on the wall We will be back!!

    We found our way over to the newly open Mission BBQ restaurant last month and we've been back several times since. Their new location in Surprise, AZ is welcoming, the food and service are top notch!! We had the pulled pork & brisket and went back to try their burgers & fries-yum, and recently tried the shrimp special. There's plenty of parking and as of 8/2025 there is some construction going on so be cautious of changing traffic signs. As you enter through the main doors, there is a space dedicated to the memory of the events of 9/11/2001. This heartfelt space is a special, and thoughtful remembrance specially since we are a 9/11 Family living in AZ. During the usual lunch & dinner times expect this place to be hoping and extremely busy. This does not take away from the customer service just know to be patient as you may need to wait for a table to open up. We are so happy to have a Mission BBQ close to us, finally!!

    Hubby and I went in to eat since we did take out the first time. I love the happy faces and great service, definitely starts the experience right when you open the door! I got the lean brisket which truly was lean and so flavorful. It also had a nice smoke ring too! He got the smoked burger and enjoyed it. It tasted like it had a blend of meat which enhanced the flavor. (Smoked bacon on top would be a solid upgrade option) As a side we got the fries and they accidentally gave me fries too lol but that's a good problem to have. Those fries were perfect and the cook on them was crispy and golden, which was amazing for it being national French fry day today lol! Please open a second surprise location at 163rd Ave and Pat Tillman!

    3 meat combo with 2 sides (pulled pork, lean brisket, & turkey) + (Mac n cheese & green beans)

    Heard that this was a new addition to Surprise and stopped by to get myself a sampler. The space is large, with plenty of tables. There was plenty of people but I didn't wait too long for my meal. I got the 3 meat sampler with brisket (I asked for lean), pulled pork, and turkey. The plate comes with a piece if cornbread, and I upgraded it to a combo and added Mac n cheese & green beans. The full combo & the drink came out to around $32. The proteins: 5/5 - all had great flavor and nothing was too dry. Mac & cheese: 5/5 - rich cheese, overall great side Green beans: 3/5 - meh, just average tasting Cornbread: 3.5/5 - again, kind of average, a bit dry - but good. Overall, I'm happy to welcome Mission BBQ to Surprise and recommend everyone to give them a visit!

    Excited for BBQ! BBQ is about the Brisket and Ribs for me, that's why I go and try BBQ. This was a tough one. So I'm going to have to break it into tiers. *** average food **** above average food ***** Unique and delicious food 5 Stars Mac and Cheese - nice crust on top, creamy but not goopy with good flavor. Green Beans - great flavor and nice pieces of bacon. Potato Salad - light and not overly creamy. Fresh and crunchy vegetables that provided a nice texture contrast that I really enjoyed! BBQ Sauces - an actual wide range of different sauces and flavor profiles. My favorites were the Baja and Tupelo. Brownie - maybe the best restaurant brownie I've ever had. Rich but not. Chewy but a little bit of crunch on the edge. 4 Stars Jalapeño & Cheese Sausage - nice balance of heat and sweet. Not too spicy at all. Really nice overall flavor. Classic Sausage - A quality, well prepared, simple piece of sausage. Baby Back Ribs (not pictured) - in the middle of fall off the bone and doesn't fall off the bone. I enjoyed the texture difference. Nice subtle flavors. Fries - lightly salted, crispy and had unique flavor and texture. Pulled Pork - nice smoke flavor with little parts charred providing texture and more flavor. 3 Stars Brisket - On two separate days, the brisket here was just okay. Okay flavor. The moist cuts and lean cuts were dry and lacked a good bark (for my liking), and not much of a smoke ring. CornBread - this is hit or miss. Day one is was dry, day two it was softer. Both days it was just cornbread, nothing special. Strawberry Shortcake - the strawberries were sliced to a perfect size. The cake was not dry. It was good, but like the cornbread, it was simply okay. Overall, the prices are more than reasonable compared to other BBQ restaurants. Their sides and brownies are absolutely delicious. I hope the Brisket gets better. Open for 2 days now! The atmosphere is very family friendly and extremely welcoming. The staff are very attentive, friendly and professional.

    My sister picked up lunch for me so I wasn't able to go to the restaurant, but she had nothing but reviews about the staff, the inside, and the overall vibe. She got me a two meat combo, and I got turkey and the cheddar jalapeño sausage, and also tried the green beans and the baked potato casserole. Everything was absolutely delicious, and so freaking fresh. I loved the smoked barbecue sauce, and I can't wait to try more! The meats were moist and the sides were very flavorful. YUM.

    I'm glad to see surprise got a new barbecue place this one wasn't bad remind me of Rudy's or Dickies nothing great but pretty good brisket was okay had light smoke decent amount of bark sausage had good flavor baked beans or little too sweet for me cornbread was good Unfortunately they didn't have my banana pudding barbecue sauces were not that good overall it was decent and they're not too expensive which makes it a little better if I want to barbecue that was around there I would go again nothing to go out of my way for

    If you're looking for good barbecue on the Westside this is one of the best we have been to. It's nice to see a large chain restaurant put good food, service, country and Veterans as their priorities. If you are in the restaurant at noon they ask to stand uncover or salute the flag and sing the National anthem. Food was great staff are friendly, knowledgeable about menu and the place was spotless. We will be back again wife loved the smoke salmon and the brisket and pulled pork was on point both lean and fatty.

    5/5 star rating! Brisket and ribs were seasoned just right. Service was wonderful. Ambiance was lively! Came at the busiest hour I'm assuming but got our food rather quickly.

    I usually eat my BBQ at Rudy's in Goodyear but a friend told me to try Mission BBQ which is closer to both of us. Mission BBQ delivered big time. The ordering is easy, the staff is very helpful and the restaurant is clean. The prices are fair, not excessive/not cheap, but very fair for delicious bbq'd meats. The portions in my view are large enough to satisfy. The thing that keeps you coming back are the amazing flavors. The moist brisket, pulled pork, sausage and turkey are all moist and delicious. You want to keep eating it to be blunt! The sides are ok, the cornbread was surprisingly moist and the staff comes around to check on you while eating. Their bbq sauces at the table are a bonus that i've not seen before. Over all you need to eat here if you love BBQ meats that are delicious!

    Have I said this is a FAVORITE in a previous review? Chicken that's never fried but tastes so good…read moreis ALWAYS a good thing. Healthy and delicious is a great combination. On the way home, it felt like a sneakybird dinner. The staff is always pleasant and today was no different. Aleah welcomed me as I walked in. Gavin came over as I was debating what to order and expressing my appreciation for the restaurant. Jaeden was the manager on duty. I love that everyone in this family run business is so pleasant. It makes a difference. It was a slow afternoon since it was well before dinner. If you have not experienced sneakybird, this is your encouragement. Today I got 2 8-piece wings with tater tots. One with the garlic butter Parmesan rub and both tossed in teriyaki sauce. Of course, my order was all flats. I also order a side of Sneaky Slaw to try. The spice isn't for me but I added a "secret" ingredient and enjoyed my dinner. The decor is bright and inviting. The music is at a decent level. The restroom is always clean. Winning with sneakybird!

    Walking in, there was no line, so getting our food was pretty quick. There was plenty of seating…read moreinside, and the worker was helpful with suggestions. I got the chicken sandwich, while my sister got the tenders. Between the two, I'd say the tenders were the better choice. The sandwich was good, just a little too salty for me, but it was huge, so definitely come with an appetite. Overall, the food tasted fresh and made with good ingredients. I'd definitely come back to try something different next time.

    Just tried this place for dinner. Outstanding food and eating-in experience…read more Their KRISPY KRUNCHY FRIED CHICKEN is FAR better, MUCH more highly superior, to any of the other fried chicken chain outlets we've tried before. Cooked just right. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Excellent, fresh flavor! As it is prepared to order, expect about a 15 minute wait time for the chicken... but WELL worth that wait, as it turned out. Fries and Onion Rings sides were PERFECT, and tastier than most. Interesting, varied menu, too! Very generous portions... and the chicken pieces were real, actual sized pieces of chicken... not like the canary-sized tidbits served up by today's fried chicken chain outlets! Although the seating area was VERY small (store front operation,) the facilities were bright, clean and well maintained. The staff was welcoming, patient and most helpful as we worked our way through their surprisingly large, and varied menu! Reasonably priced, too! Overall... a happy find... and now one of our go-to favorites! Just wish they had a LOT more locations closer (to us!) Surprise/Sun City areas would benefit from having closer access to Outta Bronx sandwich/hot dog/wings/Krispy Krunchy chicken locations! I think it would catch on in no-time... assuming today's quality, and value, remained the same, of course. I'm, generally, hard to please... but Outta Bronx/Krispy Krunchy chicken seems to hit it on all cylinders! VERY pleased. Mark us down as huge fans!

    Outta Bronx - A Very Disappointing Visit and an Even Worse Follow‑Up…read more We've been customers of this spot for some time, and up until now, the food has always been solid. Unfortunately, our latest experience was far from what we've come to expect. Our order was wrong from the start -- something we caught before leaving -- and we were told our food had been handed to another customer, so it had to be remade. Annoying, but understandable. The real issues showed up once we got home. The mac and cheese tasted stale and simply wasn't edible. The Reuben was another disappointment: barely any meat, what little there was had been overcooked, and the sandwich had almost no sauerkraut. When I flipped it over, I could literally see more toppings through the meat than actual meat. The only thing that resembled their usual quality was the chicken fingers. What pushed this experience from disappointing to unacceptable was the phone call I received from the owner,after I emailed their website to share what happened. My intention was to give them a chance to address the situation privately rather than jumping straight to a negative review. Instead, I spent nearly half an hour listening to the owner defend the food, insist the items we ordered weren't their "best sellers," and tell us to choose different items next time. They claimed nothing could be wrong with the food and that we should have just eaten it. They also said the mac and cheese wasn't their responsibility and told us to complain to Krispy Krunchy Chicken because they "just microwave" what they receive. When asked whether a replacement would resolve the issue, I said yes -- only for the owner to then accuse me of taking money from their family and saying they personally wouldn't complain about food they didn't like. I was told to just eat it and avoid ordering those items again. I have this all recorded. If you're going to ask whether a replacement would make things right, why turn it into an argument afterward? This could have been handled quickly and respectfully. Instead, I was told I was bothering them by emailing on a Friday night, and the entire call felt unnecessary and unprofessional. Calling a customer on a Friday night to argue is not how you keep loyal customers. After enjoying this place for some time, it's disappointing to see how poorly concerns are handled when something goes wrong. Update: I believe the response to this shows what I outlined above. I do not know this owner personally. I met them twice at the restaurant when getting my orders and both were good yet brief experiences. I also do not understand how there is fraud in contacting a restaurant, via their contact us email address, to inform them of issues you had with an order. Their call to me, in response to the email, was not a personal call and entirely business related. This simply shows that this is the type of response one can expect if they have any issues with their order.
