    2-meat combo, turkey and chicken, with beans and collards
    Raymond W.

    Today I went with turkey, brisket, and classic sausage along side some potato salad and greens. Turkey- with KC Classic sauce was great. I could actually taste the smoke and it was juicy. Classic sausage- with Tupelo honey heat sauce. Had a nice snap and just enough heat. This was really good. Brisket- with Texas Twang sauce. This is an outstanding combination! Moist brisket with a tangy sauce is some Damm good eatin'! lol Greens- just a capful of NC Vinegar was exactly what I needed. These are good greens alone, but with vinegar they reminded me of home! I'll ALWAYS eat these Potato Salad- was very good. Potatoes were properly cooked, not hard at all, and seasoned well. Mission BBQ has completed another mission!

    Fast casual. Very large portion for the pulled chicken sandwich. Lots of flavors for the bbq sauces. Cornbread was a little dry but nice flavor. Friendly service and quick. The smoky sauces were my favorite

    Brisket, Mac and cheese, collard greens & pulled chicken.

    The bad was the corn bread and potato salad. Not doing it for me. Now the good, 3.5 but I will give them the star for outstanding service and samples. The staff really made this experience special. From TX so bbq is lifeblood for me. The brisket go for the fat. I wish they offered whole chickens. Their sauce was smoky, tasty and smooth. That bottle was awesome! It was to go and they provided me everything I needed to serve and eat. Open kitchen I like that style. The turkey, links and brisket would be the protein of choice. Ribs did not taste so maybe next time.

    One of the best places for BBQ and service. They treat every customer special. The place is clean and you get great quality and portions of what you order. I love the sides, macaroni and cheese, greens, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes.. you get seasonal choices along with desserts like bread pudding, etc. So delicious, I always have to return to try something new. + clean + hospitality is top notch + plenty of parking + meat is good quality + prices are reasonable

    Tasty brisket sandwich lunch with fries prepared correctly by caring people, especially Bernadette. We were fortunate to be there at noon for the singing of our country's National Anthem. The manager checked on us and answered questions about some of the memorabilia. Price was reasonable for the quality and quantity. We will be back!

    6/13/21: We ordered online & called in to see if they were doing curbside. The rude young lady that answered the phone told us to just come inside. If they aren't doing curbside anymore, they need to take down the signs. Anyway, we ordered pulled pork sandwiches & fries. The pork was yummy, but the fries were soggy. We literally ordered from outside the restaurant & it gave us the pickup time. So, why package our food early and have our fries soggy?? That makes no sense & that's why I'm taking away a star. Other than that, there was plenty of parking & I could See that Covid guidelines aren't strictly being followed because there were customers going in and coming out without masks. If we are in the area, we may go back. We were just passing through.

    Mission BBQ [MB]. (1.875 stars). Smoke Ring. Smoked meats. Seasoning and dry rub. Sauces (for those who like it saucy). Those are some of the items that I mentally make a checklist of when I eat any America BBQ meal!! I'm a hardcore Texas BBQ dry rub lover. I can eat my bbq with sauce especially if it is needed to bring moisture & some flavor to the meat. I've been to a few of MB's locations and this is probably the best location thus far. That isn't saying much since my meal was dismal. First off, the price didn't bother me. Even for the "small portions". BBQ is a tough craft that requires HOURS of love just to put anything on a plate! I actually thought the prices were on the cheaper end even though the execution was severely lacking. Black label steak. (2 stars). Drrrryyyyyyyy & flavorless. Tough to chew. No redeeming qualities that would ever make me order this any time soon. Pulled pork. (2 stars). Very oily and lacking any seasoning. Stringy & dry in some areas. Jalapeño sausage. (2 stars). Very tough to chew. Jalapeño is evident but nothing exceptional about this sausage. Lean brisket. (1 star). Worst lean cut of brisket I've had in a long time. Extremely dry & almost jerky like. Impossible to chew. No flavor. Top was burnt. Moist brisket. (3 stars). Moist. Tender. No flavor or seasoning evident. The only thing I would order if I came back. Cornbread. (2 stars). Very dense. Edible but not great. Slightly sweet. Kickin' collard greens. (2 stars). Average. Lots of onions which I didn't care for but didn't take away from my rating. Not enough vinegar to cut through the oily watery "broth". Meh. Mac & cheese. (1 star). Watery. Mushy. Taste like boxed Mac & cheese. Few macaroni were still undercooked. Most were dissolving before my eyes (overcooked). While I don't rate service, I had one dismal experience & one great experience here. The cashier was very unsure of the entire menu as far as what was in each offering & had a very "I don't give a F$&k I just work here" attitude. The manager was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Friendly & engaging. MB, please take the time to have your staff learn your menu properly by tasting & being able to explain what makes your food worth trying!!?? I realize MB is a chain, but it's pretty close to where I live & I really wanted to give them another chance. They also have a lot of military motif & provide veterans with discounts which is awesome! But after trying 3 separate locations on 4 occasions, I think I'll pass. I wish MB well.

    3 meat sampler: Baby back ribs, beef brisket (moist & lean), pulled chicken, Mac-n-cheese, cole-slaw, corn bread and blueberry cobbler.

    A monkey-pigeon with a renewed heart would understand the level of happiness a meal like this would bring to a soul like mine. I mean considering the amount of high protein and savory carbs that is in this meal, Mission BBQ stands righteously behind their well-cooked, and grilled choices of meat by delivering an exquisite taste of options on their menu. Can't go wrong with the 3 meat sampler: Baby back ribs, beef brisket (moist & lean), pulled chicken, Mac-n-cheese, cole-slaw and corn bread. That in the center is a blueberry cobbler .... Definitely a meal worth taking to the moon and back. Who's with me?

    Ask the Community - Mission BBQ

    Do they serve beef ribs?

    No, baby back and spare ribs are pork. The brisket is the only non seasonal beef item.

    Do the employees in Mission Barbecue Woodbridge VA wear protective masks while working as strongly encouraged by CDC & Virginia gov't guidelines?

    Yes!

    If Chipotle had a soulful, culturally rich cousin... it would be Spice Black. Period…read more I've been seeing this place all over social media, so when I found myself in the area, I had to see what the hype was about. First off, parking is easy. It's in a shopping center, so nothing stressful there, and the restaurant itself is easy to spot. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was how clean, polished, and classy everything looked. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic. The staff immediately greeted me and asked if it was my first time which I appreciated. They didn't just rush me through the line; they actually took time to explain the menu, how the bowls are built, and offered samples. That alone made the experience feel welcoming and intentional. Now let's get into the FOOD. Everything looked fresh. They have about four rice options (which is already a win), and I went with the pineapple coconut rice. For my protein, I chose grilled chicken, but they also offer shrimp, salmon, and even a mushroom option for vegetarians and honestly, the mushrooms looked so good I almost switched. For my added sides, I kept it simple because I really wanted to taste everything. Collard greens and sweet potatoes. But they also had plantains, and okra....real deal soul food options. Then you get into the fresh toppings. Slaws, carrots, pickled veggies. I kept it light. I finished my bowl with collard green pesto (which intrigued me, and I'm glad I tried it) and added an étouffée sauce over my rice... and listen!!!!! That combo? Chef's kiss. I grabbed a tropical punch juice, and just like everything else, it tasted fresh and well-made. Let me say this clearly: the food is a 10/10. If you're someone who will give Chipotle chance after chance, then you absolutely owe it to yourself to try Spice Black. 10/10. Worth your money. Worth the hype. Worth the experience.

    This is a small restaurant that has minimal seating. But its cozy and allows you to pop in and…read moreenjoy your meal by yourself or with a few friends. The restaurant is nicely decorated with vibrant colors and very clean. The service is friendly and welcoming. The food was okay. Not bad and just good in my opinion. Its not rave worthy but its still good. I would come back and try other options. This is still a good healthier option oppose to the many of terrible choices we have to choose from, this beats most unhealthy fast foods restaurants. For that reason I would return to try other food options. If you like chickpeas then this is your meal, Im not so it threw off the salad to me. I would have preferred chicken. Honestly, everything came together nicely as one salad, nothing was over powering. I'm just not a fan of chickpeas. They do have an option for shrimp but dont eat bottom feeders so that wasn't an option for me. My tastebuds are much different from yours so I would still give it a try. You might like it a little more than me. Its still a fairly good meal.

    Just the Black-owned healthy food spot I've been looking for in the Temple Hills area…read more Food : 9/10 -- I had the the unCrabaKALE on top of the CranKALE salad and it was out of this world! Whatever seasoning they use is chef's kiss -- I selected garlic as a topping but I could tell there was more going on. The crab meat was warm and perfectly seasoned too. My only note: the 16oz eats more like a side salad than a main dish. For $13 it's competitive with a Sweetgreen or Cava, so next time I'm just sizing up to the 32oz. Service : 8/10 -- The young lady at the register was pleasant and made sure my order was complete. I did wait an extra 5-8 minutes past my 5:55 pickup time, but nothing major. Ambiance : 9/10 -- Not your average salad spot. The vibe is cozy -- think relaxed bar & lounge on a smaller scale. Love that the menu item names are fun and creative, though the menu itself feels a little busy and could be simplified. I'd love to see Kenny Kale franchised on a larger scale someday. Overall: 9/10 -- Kenny Kale is killing it and is def a keeper on my list I found this place and ordered the same day -- that's how excited I was. I'm genuinely thrilled to have a unique, healthy restaurant in the area that isn't another Chipotle, Tropical Smoothie, or..... fried chicken spot that keep getting placed in Black communities instead of diverse, health-forward choices. And did I mention it was black-owned?! lol nonetheless, it's a literal breath of fresh air. I'll definitely be back!
