Mission BBQ is really a great place for barbecue dishes, of course and just a great hearty meal. The reason I gave it three stars is that it does not confirm veterans. I myself as a veteran came in and was not asked for proof of being a veteran or serving in the United States Armed Forces so places that claim to be veteran-centric/friendly, but also cater to stolen glory is not an establishment that I could support but appreciate the effort. Other than that great food and ambience. Will usually choose this place over others if I know it's nearby. read more

I loved just about everything on my tray ,including those succulent baby back ribs that fell right off the bone, I also had the grilled salmon at a great price too ,and a beautiful piece of fish. The barbecue baked beans were Delicious as well as the mac & cheese was.Can't wait to go back to Mission BBQ. read more

What an impressive little gem! The attention to detail they took in decorating this restaurant is impressive! I love supporting businesses like this that care so deeply for our men and women service members and veterans. The food is amazing and they have a "six pack" of bbq sauces to choose from so you're sure to get the flavor you love! I had the pulled pork and coleslaw, the pork was very lean, tender and tasty! My husband had the sliced brisket, he ordered it wet so it had a nice bit of fat still on it and also ordered baked beans, everything was to perfection! We were so excited about the atmosphere that we forgot pictures of the food but you definitely won't be disappointed!! read more

So cool to see all the pictures and patches. The food was amazing. The pulled pork sandwich made me feel like I was in my backyard having a picnic. I'm a stickler about coleslaw and their was AMAZING. Definitely excited to go back! read more

Always a good place to eat really good food the sauces are amazing. The problem is there's too many good sauces to choose from I don't know which one to use. They also do sell them to take home. All the food definitely a 10 the meat juicy tender so flavorful you actually don't even need sauce with any of them but the sauces are so good very good!!!! read more

The barbecue here is very good. It's pricey and the portion are normal nothing to talk about. The barbecue is nice.

Good food. It's decent for a quick bbq fix. I would say it's conviene. Not top of the line bbq but that's to be expected from a chain. In all would I call it great bbq? no. Is it good for a chain? yes. Would I recommend? If you can't find great bbq yes. read more

My wife and I ordered takeout over a memorial Weekend from Mission BBQ and it was a solid choice. I had an order of ribs and my wife got the pulled pork. We shared a pint of Mac and cheese, a pint of coleslaw and corn bread comes with it (which is delicious). Due to not being able to eat at the restaurant and had to take it home I put my food in the toaster oven for a little while to warm back up. I'm not sure if it was me reheating it or not but the ribs were a little on the drier side. They still had a good flavor but needed bbq sauce. My wife isn't a huge bbq person but she enjoyed her pulled pork and had enough for lunch the next day. We tried a few bbq sauces: Memphis Belle, Bay-B-Que, Smokey Mountains, and Tupelo Honey. I would eat here again the next time my wife agrees to BBQ. read more

Quick service and pretty decent food . Mac and cheese was on the drier side but that's more of a preference. Pudding was good. Sandwich was good with honey hot sauce on it. 20.00 for sandwich, drink and two sides. On the pricier side so it would be more of a treat then a weekly thing read more

We ordered take out from Mission bbq in Whitehall and got so much delicious food and two big lemonades for just $36! There is always great service and the best BBQ! The pulled pork is always rich and juicy and the bbq chicken is juicy and amazing! We love mission bbq! read more

I've been here frequently over the years, highly recommend their smoked items on their menu a good friend of mine used to manage Mission BBQ I am a 911 first responder and a dedicated service for me on 911 and two separate years. They do a lot for veterans fire department police department and to me that says it all I really enjoyed being honored by the establishment, they truly are and all American company read more

Excellent bbq but sometimes hit or miss. They messed up on our orders a few times with the slides when we ordered the platters. Overall bbq and array of sauces. read more

Great food and customer service. Always friendly and tender juicy BBQ!! Definitely recommend.

Enjoyed the brisket at this chain BBQ place with lots of decor. I sampled all 7 of the sauces. The coleslaw was ok and the cornbread was a bit dry. I'll likely come back try different meals and sides. read more

For the last few years I've been to at least a dozen, if not more Mission BBQ locations. The one reason why we return every time we see one is because you always know what you're going to get - and that is consistency. It's one of the few East Coast chains that deliver the same solid BBQ everytime you walk through the door no matter which location you visit. When we are in the south Mission BBQ isn't our first choice. On the other hand, when were in Pennsylvania it's always a go to spot. This far north you're going to be far-fetched to find better BBQ. It blows away what you would get at a comparable chain like Smokey Bones. Nevertheless, if you're one that travels often it doesn't compare to other chains like Jim and Nick's or 4 Rivers Smokehouse (other regional chains). Don't get the wrong idea though there is absolutely wrong nothing with Mission BBQ, which is why we return often. The one thing that's odd is there's a few of their locations that don't do a good job with BBQ. Fortunately, none of those are in Pennsylvania and we have visited all but one of their Pennsylvania locations. If you're in the mood for barbecue you'll enjoy your experience here. We often choose the two or three meat combo, which enables us to try several meats and then you can order your favorite next time you visit. I think their best meat is their brisket. It's normally tender and has a lot of flavor. The pulled pork is always dry, but somehow brings a lot of flavor, which is the same scenario you run into with the turkey. It's always dry, but does have flavor and goes well with their mustard-based BBQ sauce. The pulled chicken is fair to. The one drawback with Mission is their sides are just average. The exception to the rule is their french fries. These hand-cut fries are the best side they offer and if you walk over between the two drink machines and sprinkle on some Old Bay they taste even better. If you're a french fry fan you need to order these. Another positive thing about Mission BBQ is that they offer eight different BBQ sauces. There are six on the table and then two between the drink dispensersn, which is normally the mustard and the vinegar-based. Some locations also offer an Alabama like white sauce and often a few others. What this means is there's a barbecue sauce in this restaurant for everyone. The other good news is that this is a large, roomy restaurant that allows people to spread out and enjoy the experience and friendly service. The other thing is they probably have the best sweet tea in Pennsylvania and great lemonade. When you add all this together you'll find a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner without spending too much money. read more

Mission barbecue is Absolutely fantastic! As a amateur barbecue aficionado, I must say that the brisket is absolutely perfection! Better than anything that I have been able to make. Coleslaw is also among the best that I have had in a restaurant. There is a fun, Casual, relaxed atmosphere that makes it a fun place to go with the whole family or with friends. Every employee which I have interacted with on my Manny is it has been polite, knowledgeable, and friendly. On a recent visit there was a man cleaning up around our table who took the time to talk to us and we had a great conversation and we all laughed a lot. Great food, Great people, perfect for eating in or taking home read more

Went here for the first time ever. The cashier was extremely nice and helpful. Definitely a great attitude to have. She explained the menu very well and ordered a combo. Seating area was very spacious and the fresh food came out fairly quick. Delicious brisket and chicken meal. Mac and Cheese was in point as well. I thought thr corn bread was a bit too hard, but i don't like corn bread anyway. Sauce options were plentiful and tasty. I kept switching back and forth from each one. Will visit again and believe most people into bbq will enjoy as well.... thanks for the hospitality guys! read more

Absolutely amazing food. I wish I had a place closer to my house i would be there everyday!

It's on the border of fast food and a dine-in restaurant. The menu panels above describe your options of 'just meat' and 'meat in bread.' I ordered the brisket meat market ('just meat') with corn bread. Two minutes or less passed, and I received the oversized metal tray for the two items. There are six sauces on every table with descriptions colorful in your mind and little of how it'll taste on your tongue. I would recommend trying all of them on your large tray before dousing the meat. Imagine a chunk of deli ham. The brisket tastes like that. The propaganda yelling at you from the walls while you eat is stifling. read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket meat market - Barbeque Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

Amazing service always. Great food. Staff is super nice. And they do so much for the community.

Great spot for barbecue. Jalapeño sausage is amazing. Corn bread and Mac and cheese also a solid option.

Couldn't ask for a better place for BBQ. Mission BBQ is now all over the place and as a member of the military, I hope their success is boundless! The folks at this particular location were friendly and supportive and just plain "good eggs"! It's where my wife and son were first introduced to the franchise while I was in Afghanistan. They not only make a fuss over vets, they make sure to recognize the special sacrifices of family. They made my six-year old feel like a million bucks while I was away and no words can describe the impact of something like that! Go there for the incredible food and know that you're supporting a great business in the process! read more

You get what you pay for and though it's a bit pricey, it's worth the taste. This BBQ is closest I had that reminds me of Texas. It's mouthwatering and flavorful. One of my favorite BBQ spots. Very welcoming. Veteran friendly. Clean and proudly decorated to honor Veterans and our service. read more

This place is great for something fast quick and delicious. I go for the pulled pork sandwich, it has a heaping pile of pork. It comes with two sides. Homemade Mac and cheese and green beans with bacon, can't go wrong when bacon is involved! The French fries are perfection too. Then at the table they have a selection of six different bbq sauces. It's fun to try different kinds. With a one year old sometimes the best places are places were you can order at the counter, get your food fast, and get out of there. Definitely recommend mission bbq! read more

Wow! That was really good! The BBQ sauces had plenty of flavor. They have three with heat and three that are sweet. All were awesome and you could clearly tell them apart. The meats were tender and NOT dry at all. Very moist. The sides we're very good as well and the apple cobbler was on point. The staff was exceptional! read more

I wasn't impressed. I ordered a large quantity of food for a business luncheon. I ordered brisket, Pulled chicken, ribs, Mac and cheese, green beans, Cole slaw and corn bread. Here is the breakdown of why I don't think it's that great. Brisket was super salty, and too much connective tissue in the pound we had. Pulled chicken was tasteless and dry. It was somewhat cold as well. The ribs had decent flavor, but were so salty it killed any smokiness. The Mac and cheese was great, easily my favorite thing on the menu. Green bean were very watery and super salty. Not very good. Cole Slaw was flat and nothing special. It did cut the saltiness of the other dishes. The corn bread was dry and not that great. Overall I was very disappointed. There was so much salt in everything, I couldn't get hydrated that evening to save my life. I wouldn't order food from here again. I would try it again if someone wanted to order it, but I definitely would not recommend it. read more

Customer service was fantastic. Food was good! Definitely the brisket is a must try, juicy and savory. No complaints and I hope this establishment survives. read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket, jaleponos and cheddar sausage and pull pork. - Barbeque Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

Not worth what they charge. $15 for a mediocre fast food meal. I ordered ahead on the website and my meal should have been ready about 20 minutes before I got to the counter. Nope. They had overlooked it and had not started it. I feel like I was owed more than a "We'll get that ready for you." Um maybe a free side? Meat was tasty but small portion and roll was a standard grocery store hamburger bun. Would not be excited to go again. read more

Great place for brisket, pulled pork, and chicken. Specials and combos are the way to go, with a pulled pork sandwich, 2 sides and a drink of your hungry. Plus, the 6 pack choices of sauces gives your lunch endless possibilities! Love the Bay-B-Que sauce. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

My husband and I ordered takeout over a memorial Weekend from Mission BBQ and it was great. I had an order of pulled pork and my hubs had 5 bbq ribs on a rack. We shared a pint of Mac and cheese and a pint of coleslaw. After digging in, we had some coleslaw and half of my pork left making for another great meal the next day at lunchtime. We tried a few bbq sauces: Memphis Belle (good), Bay-B-Que (ok), Smokey Mountains (too smokey for me!), and my favorite: the Tupelo Honey bbq sauce! We will def be enjoying Mission BBQ again when our bbq loving family comes around. My favorite part of the meal was the amazing, sweet, crisp crust cornbread that came with each entree - next time I want more! I recommend trying Mission BBQ our if you're in the area and looking for a place with something for everyone (except vegans/vegetarians). read more

The people were nice but the brisket was awful and dry. I left all of it. It was like something that was super dry but someone added some water to it. It was gray and ugly too. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

This is solely based on their food. The service was good but the food was not. Their coleslaw and BBQ sauce are the best things on the menu. Two years ago on my birthday we spent over $100 getting just about everything off of the menu to try and EVERYTHING was a disappointment. The brisket was as dry as the bottom of my shoe on an August day, the ribs as well, the sausage was over cooked. To me it seems like they prep much more than they sell and let it sit in a warmer for WAY TOO long. Honestly, even the Mac and cheese that people rave about was dried out due to sitting too long. So today we passed by and thought you know what let's give them another shot and to no surprise the food was the same as it was then. I will never Come back to this establishment again. I really dislike leaving bad reviews but I don't know what all they hype is. They need to learn how to keep their products fresh as true BBQ is supposed to be moist and tender. Not borderline jerky. read more

Excellent BBQ! I've eaten at this chain before and absolutely love their food, service and mission statement. Would recommend this if you're around one! read more
