I had a great experience at Mission BBQ today! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by Yecelena, who had a big smile and was incredibly friendly and professional. Her positive attitude really set the tone for the visit. The food did not disappoint--the pulled pork platter was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and perfectly prepared. Overall, excellent service and great food. I'll definitely be coming back! ~Maggie ~ read more

This is the very best BBQ I've had in Cleveland yet. Really. They have absolutely the very best brisket in Cleveland. It was spectacular. You can purchase brisket two ways, regular or moist. Moist is their code word for "fatty". I LOVE fatty brisket. This was phenomenal and probably the 2nd best brisket I've ever had in my life. The first goes to "Bub City" in Chicago. And yeah, yeah, I know, I haven't been to Texas yet. Someday I hope....some day.... Anyway, the brisket is worth coming here for. It was near perfect. The pork ribs were good--above average--but much, much too salty. It must be the rub on the ribs. You'll need to eat them with one of their sauces, which are very much like the ribs--not the best I've ever had, but good. The meat was good, but they just put way too much rub on it. The brisket was better. There's nothing like great cornbread with barbecue! You receive a piece of cornbread with every meal, which is EXCELLENT. Swear to god, some of the best cornbread I've had. Most cornbread tends to be dry and crumbly. This cornbread was very moist and slightly sweet. It was just perfect. The beans with brisket...Well, I wasn't a fan. The beans were small and just tasted like some soup concoction. I felt like I was eating a stew or soup. I wouldn't recommend them if you like barbecued beans. If you're a knuckle dragger like me, who appreciates decent barbecue, I'd come here over any other place in Cleveland. read more

I am so glad that there is now a Mission BBQ in Westlake. The baby back ribs are fantastic. I especially like them with the smoky mountain bbq sauce. And, their fresh cut fries are also fantastic. They are as good as the best fries anywhere IMO. read more

The staff is very helpful. Very clean. And the food is wonderful. my wife and I both had the pulled pork meals and the pork was delicious and the sauces were excellent. The cornbread is very good. read more

Ate there Sunday night, had their 3 meat sampler with pulled pork & fatty brisket. Got food poisoning a few hours later, & was violently sick for the next 18 hours. The staff needs to tighten their food safety protocols before they put someone in the hospital. read more

Mission BBQ delivers a 10/10 barbecue experience! I ordered the Three-Meat Sampler with brisket, pulled pork, and turkey, accompanied by coleslaw and crispy fries. Every bite was perfection--each meat was tender, smoky, and packed with mouthwatering flavor. My wife chose the cheeseburger, paired with a hearty side of cornbread and rich, savory gravy. The cornbread was warm and comforting, and the gravy? Easily the best I've ever had. The service was exceptional! Everyone made us feel welcome, and the wait staff gave use peach cobbler samples! The ambiance was very American. I could smell it in the air, along with the savory BBQ meat aroma. These guys love America, and support our troops fully. How could you not love this place?! Mission BBQ gets a gold star. read more

This was the first time my boyfriend and I visited, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. The service everyone provided was outstanding. The man who helped us--I'm assuming he was the manager--went above and beyond by walking us through the menu, answering questions, and making sure we enjoyed our meal. We were even offered samples of some of the meats before ordering, which really helped us decide what we wanted. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back, not just for the food, but for the incredible service and genuine human interaction. I highly recommend trying the sauces--Texas Twang was my favorite. Mission BBQ is hands down better than City BBQ. read more

Food is fantastic! Brisket and pulled pork was great. Collards very flavorful and the fries were the bomb! Much better than City Barbecue. You can taste the love in this BBQ. read more

The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, Maggie's Mac N Cheese was creamy and cheesy, and the baked beans had the perfect smoky-sweet flavor. Great food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere--Mission BBQ did not disappoint! read more

This is a response to my first review. I received a gift card in the mail for $30 for Mission barbecue in Westlake Ohio. I ordered the brisket . The brisket was excellent . The staff was friendly and accommodating and thank you to the manager of the mission Barbeque for sending me a gift card for $30 and welcoming me back as a customer. read more

Would not recommend unless you enjoy dry under seasoned meat. Was looking forward to a nice sit down meal but this place has major fast food vibes. read more

Ordered 2 dinners - pulled pork and chicken. Food was "slopped" onto plate. Paper was soaked with juice/grease from meat and sides . The meat was not even warm. Disappointed in food and serving staff. It will be awhile before we eat there again- if at all. We opted not to return our food since the staff could not even take care of a simple request for butter without asking multiple times. Note: We were there about 1:15 on a Thursday and the restaurant was almost empty. The parking lot was packed, but everyone seemed to be at KS - probably a better choice. read more

Excellent BBQ. I had some wonderful Brisket, moist with a nice light smoked flavor. The Jalapeño, Cheddar Sausage was juicy, flavorful and had a nice snap from the outer casing. Sides are always well prepared and delicious. The place is clean and the one thing that really makes this place so good is the warm friendly enthusiastic staff. I can honestly say this is one of the most enthusiastic, helpful staff I have encountered in a very long time at any level of restaurants. From the manger and the entire crew, it was nice to see hard working people that seemed to be enjoy their job and making customer's feel welcomed. It makes eating that more enjoyable. read more

Ordered two of the 3 meat samplers and Mac n cheese along with green beans for sides. Order was ready on time but when I got home they left brisket out of one of the samplers so that sucks. Ribs were good and would order again, although since they didn't get my order correct will stick to city bbq in Avon. Remainder of the meat: pulled pork, pulled chicken, smoked turkey that we sampled was ok I'd say but wouldn't bring me back to a restaurant the messed up my order. Turkey was a bit spicy which the wife wasn't a fan of. Mac was good. Green bean were good. Corn bread was good. I'll stick to city bbq over this place in regards to chain bbq joints. read more

Dave was wonderful in helping with my order! Highly recommend pulled pork, lean brisket, mac and cheese,paid for delivery was great and this was on Sunday and came hot and set up!! A Definite Repeat!!! read more

Very good brisket and blueberry cobbler, also the alabama white sauce is delicious. honestly the mac and cheese wasn't the greatest. i like how they use a good quality bun for the sandwich. read more

Food was not that good, I got the steak, and mac and cheese, steak was very dry and very rubbery. And mac and cheese was just Mac no cheese. I also got blueberry cobbler that I didn't get, but that is my fault as I placed it on a different order. Service was really nice every one was very friendly. The inside of the place was really nice smelled really good as well. read more

I've only order one thing from here (a couple of times) for my grandmother and that is their Mac'n'Cheese, I will return because she said it's some of the best she's had (and she is particular and her Mac)! read more

This is a great addition to the neighborhood. I've only gone twice but both times I've enjoyed my experience and food. I've personally only been able to try the pulled pork sandwich NC style (which I do like) and the brisket (which is a hit-and-miss sometimes, to be honest). Most of the sides I enjoy -- but there are some I feel like they are lacking flavor (like the green beans). Knocking down one star because I feel like if you go later in the evening the brisket is not as "fresh" tasting compared to when I had it in the afternoon -- the difference, in my opinion, was significant. Overall a really solid place, and the front staff and very kind. read more

Picked up food for family. "Juicy" brisket that was mostly fat and very salty. (3) sides: Green Beans (again very salty), collard greens ( salty too) and potato salad ( not only salty, but had a long dark hair in it). The cornbread was the only thing that tasted ok! Service was good! Was disappointed that there was no bar and way too much "sugary" retro sodas! Won't be back! read more

The food was excellent, the service was excellent. They got part of our order wrong and fixed it and gave us the extra food. Excellent service. They were very quick getting the food. It was hot and fresh. We ordered the pulled pork--excellent. We ordered the Brisket-- excellent. We ordered green beans and baked beans--excellent. The bbq sauce was great also. I wish all service people were as good as this new location. Go get some bbq there! read more

I have eaten here 4 times, so I can offical write an honest and review consistnt with the service provided. I was first intoduced to mission BBQ through their hometown heros cup which I purchased. This cup allows refills for $1.07 all year long for the bargin price of $5 up front cost. The cost of the cup directly supports "hometown heros" such as vets, cops, firemen, and ems. One day while filling my cup I noticed a qr code for hometown heroes, I enrolled as I work as an EMT/MA I was given an email for a free sandwhich. A few days later they asked for my birthday, and I got another free sandwich as an early birthday gift. I am assuming I will get another on my real birthday. I love the work they are doing for the community and particularly for the community servants. Each time I have eaten there the food has been great. I personally like the moist brisket sandwich add coleslaw although the pork sandwhich is a easy second. As for sides the greens were the best, I also really love their cornbread. I am not a huge fan of their mac and cheese, it is not a bad mac and cheese I am just not a bread crumb topping kinda girl- so if thats your thing I think you will like the mac and cheese. The employees are also great, they are helpful, productive and knowledgeable of allergens in their food. I have an allergy, and they helped me navigate what I was safe to eat which I appreciated. Management was positive towards staff and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean. read more

Tried this place a few weeks ago. Although they have 6 sauces, none of them hit the spot for me. The food tasted very salty. It seems pricey to me. $40.00 for 2 people for lunch (soft drinks) was excessive. disappointed because I wanted to like it. read more

Ordered takeout today at the recommendation of a friend and had a great experience! I called to place my order and the man who answered was super friendly and so polite. I got a pulled chicken sandwich combo with mac and cheese and potato salad. I've never been here so I asked if I could try a few sauces and he happily obliged. They have about 8 or 9 I think. I asked for the KC classic, NC vinegar, Texas Twang and Tupelo Honey (the GOAT). Potato salad is seasonal but oooh it is good, it's unique and I can't place why but ooh it is delicious. The mac and cheese is amazing- creamy and cheesy with some breadcrumb topping. I sampled all the sauces and I liked all but the Texas Twang. It was just okay wouldn't get again. KC classic was just that, the NC vinegar is really unique and yummy if you love malt vinegar this was really good for dipping some of my overflow of chicken from the sandwich. It was giving salt and vinegar vibes. My favorite was by far the Tupelo honey which is sweet but has a creeping heat. My lips were burning and I loved every moment of it. Just the right amount of heat. It is SOOoOoO good. I doused my chicken sandwich in it and proceeded to experience bliss. I will probably buy a bottle which btw are very reasonably priced at $3.99. I will definitely be back for my Tulepo fix soon! read more

I got the pulled pork sandwich combo with 2 sides & a corn bread. Mac & cheese(good) & Potatoe salad(lousy) taters were under cooked and under seasoned & skin on blaaah! Also got 1/2 lb of sausage with 2 sides, green beans(decent) & baked beans(good) dessert was a peach cobbler which was good. I wanted coleslaw but they were out so hard potatoe salad it was :( Place was busy, dining room was clean. Not noisy at all. Butter for the corn bread was on the table with the straws & wipes which is across the the pop machine. Sadly, I found that out after eating. Cornbread was good even without butter. There were 6 sauces on the table. Smoky Mountain was good. You get a good amount of pork on the sandwich. It was very good. An employee came out to clean tables ( we were done) saw my taters & asked if I wanted something else. I had told him they were lousy. I was stuffed,so I said no thanks. The sausage was decent. But I wouldn't get it again. If I could get a jalapeno & cheese sausage next time I would. Going back for smoked turkey & ribs. read more

I love this place so much! Nik, the cashier, took his time explaining the menu to us in great detail. Nate, the manager, runs a fabulous establishment! Everyone was friendly and genuinely cared about our experience. Also, the food was amazing! read more

These folks are legit. It's a big thing to say, BUT they have the best, moist and fully smoked RIBS!

Nick was great in the dining room, super friendly and helpful!!! The food was epic, everytime it is! One of our favorite spots!

I wanted to like it but not for me. Actually none of us liked it. We are BBQ fans but the flavor was too smoky for me. Very fatty meat. No one liked the coleslaw. They had a pretzel butterscotch dessert that was good though. read more

It was so good, everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. Love this location!! Elizabeth was awesome and her trainee was as well!!

You walk in and the ambience is filled with people who serve. You can smell the BBQ cooking and on other customers plates. Your taste buds start tingle as your mouth starts to water. Then you order and are greated by a kind server. Afterwards you head to get some lemonade or sweet tea and it tastes like liquid gold. The food is just as good and is tantalizing and scrumptious. read more

You order at the counter & they call when it's ready & you pick up. Excellent brisket! Very tender & juicy. Different barbecue sauces available at the tables. Friendly staff & very clean facility. read more

Wow! Today was our first visit to Mission BBQ and holy cow, it knocked our socks off! The food was top-notch with hearty portions, excellent quality, fresh ingredients, everything made in-house...Seriously - Way to Go! We loved the genuine love for everything patriotic! We live in an amazing country because of the sacrifice of so many heros! Thank you for honoring them! I would like to give a special shoutout to Elizabeth! She was genuine in her love for your Mission and was an excellent ambassador for your company! Thank you for taking a BOLD stand for America! Stay true to the Red, White & Blue! read more

Ordered in person about $75 of food. It was quite disappointing. Ordered rack of ribs, 3 meat sampler, brisket sandwich & several sides. Unfortunately underwhelming for the price. The meats were lacking smoke rings though tender but the color of the meats were grayish. Not sure if I'd return but never know. read more

Great service and the food tastes very authentic. The staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly!

Nick was great. Food was amazing too. The new ribeye was one of the best ever, I would come back just for that new ribeye
