OK, I'm a bit of a BBQ snob. I married a lady from Mississippi who introduced me to the best of Memphis style BBQ. My "go to" place on the planet is the Little Dooey in Starkville, MS. Mission BBQ is not that good but it is a pretty damn good substitute for up here in YankeeLand. I was here at noon when they play the National Anthem. Look, I'm a card carrying ACLU liberal, but there is something great about standing up with your hand on your heart with thirty people you don't know as the Star Spangled Banner plays. Love it! read more

I would rate Mission a 5 if the corn bread wasn't so dry. Other than that it's great!! :)

I decided to stop in and see if they really had good BBQ. Unfortunately it was just OK. Nothing special, nothing extra, just OK. Started with the 2 meat sampler, mac and cheese and green beans with bacon. To Drink, the sweet tea. (pulled pork, and the brisket were the meats). Everything was warm but not hot. The beans are definitely canned with some bacon added, but very canned tasting. Limp and overcooked. Mac N Cheese was tasty, but luke warm... Would have been better Hot.! The Corn Bread on the side was dry and not that flavorful. The Brisket was ok, but not anything to rave about, and the pulled pork was the same. Tried all the different sauces, and the Tupelo Honey Heat was the tastiest. The Bill was close to $15 which was a little high in my opinion, but I guess not outrageous. Final consensus, is that I won't be rushing back for more anytime soon. read more

Might be alright for Pennsylvania or just an off night. But, dry BBQ doesn't fly with Texans.

I lunch here frequently because the food is great. That said, I should give props to the staff who are always over-the-top friendly and go out of their way to make your visit enjoyable. Thanks go out to them and especially Chris and the other kitchen staff for the mini tour for my son and I. Oh, and ask for the Alabama white sauce - it's great on everything, especially the fries. EAT HERE. read more

I'm not one to stop for BBQ often because I'm particular about getting my hands messy, nor have I enjoyed it too much for the restaurants I have stopped at, but this experience completely floored me when I walked in with a friend late last night for a bite. My buddy gave me a little backstory about the chain and also informed me that they heavily support veterans, and I can greatly appreciate that. We walk inside, and I immediately get a Texas Roadhouse, down-home, Southwestern feel, but with a lot more military and uniformed services flair. The smells emanating from the kitchen and prep area definitely had my mouth watering as I was aproaching the cashier. When my buddy and I were nearer the front, the manager immediately pegged us as National Guard soldiers and took care of us; I was not expecting this kind of treatment at all when walking through the door and it was a very generous gesture on his part. I stepped up to the cashier to order and she was probably one of the most assistive wait staff I've ever encountered in any restaurant. She was very pleasant, and being my first time, I had quizzed her on what everything was; she delivered, and I was able to make an educated decision. I ended up ordering just a brisket sandwich, moist-style (a little more marbled fat involved with the meat), trying not to impose on the manager's good graces. However, he insisted I tried the Mac and Cheese, and next thing I know, I'm delivered a tray with beautifully-looking brisket on a golden brioche bun with the Mac and cheese, as well as another side of Peach Cobbler. Was not expecting this, either. I go through the rest of the line and another member of the staff asked me if I knew about their sauces; I said I didn't, and I was given instruction on what I may want, and what I may possibly want to avoid (Which were the spicy sauces; ghost chili peppers have ruined me forever!), and I chose the Smoky Mountain BBQ sauce. I couldn't contain myself any longer, and as soon as I sat down and took a moment to appreciate the smells and visuals, I dug in. The sandwich left me awestruck; the brisket was moist and almost melted in my mouth, had a nice crispy and slightly salty rub that meshed well with the meat, and then the smoky sweet Smoky Mountain bbq sauce just brought everything together. I took a couple of moments to savor the flavor and also catch my breath. The mac and cheese was pleasant and very reminiscent of being homemade. But, the peach cobbler... I don't even eat peaches! And I ate every bit of it. Suffice to say, I loved my time spent, there. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, the food, delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and not overbearing. I believe I just found my first favorite BBQ joint. read more

It was our first time ever trying this place and I would defiantly go back! The food was amazing and everyone was so friendly.

I heard they were supportive of Veterans. The stories were right. When they found out I was an old Marine, I could not have been treated better. And the food was great too. I had a pulled pork sandwich, and it was stacked really high with pork. Much more so than other bbq places I have been. The staff was great, and friendly. Absolutely going back. read more

Decent food, but be careful what you order. The shredded chicken was excellent (and plentiful). The moist brisket was great. The lean brisket was awful - it looked like a pile of sh*%, it was 70% sloppy fat. The brisket servings were pretty small. Ribs were tasty but you only get 3 tiny ribs - I hope they were from a pig and not a giant rat. read more

I eat here so often they know me by now! Some of the best BBQ i've had on the East Coast. The pulled port, brisket, turkey and sausage are the stars at this place. Let alone the BBQ sauces. They are all delicious! I"m a Navy vet and I really appreciate all the support that is shown here. One of the things that I love and that other people have positively commented on, was that at noon everyday they stand for the national anthem. You don't get that at most places and I think we need to do that more. I saw a comment from someone below complaining about too much nationalisim. Lady, I don't think this country has enough of it! Enough of my rant, eat here, it's frickin awesome! read more

This was my first time eating at Mission in York, PA. The ribs were great and having different sauces to try was great. The only issue I have is I was slightly disappointed there was no military discount for service members/veteran as this organization does support wounded warriors. read more

Awesome Awesome Awesome!! They catered our event at Gettysburg College and the food was amazing. Beef brisket with classic sauce and baked beans were extra special. Would definitely order again. read more

So good!!! Love the specialty drinks. The place is very clean, the service amazing and the food is phenomenal!

Freaking delicious. Finally a good BBQ joint in central PA. Their meats are delicious, tender, juicy. I had the baby back ribs today and pulled pork sandwich with green beans and coleslaw on the side. Everything was good!! I was especially pleasantly surprised with their green beans because I wasn't expecting much. Their BBQ sauces are also good, they have 6 different kinds at each table for you to pick and choose. I like their selection of glass bottled sodas made with real sugar. The black cherry soda is delish. They also have the standard fountain drinks. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly, and the dining area is clean. The decor is very pro-military. Like I said before, this place is freaking delicious. My mouth is watering while writing this review. Try this place out if you're in the area read more

Love this place! I like their story and they have the best tasting brisket. I feel like a little kid with all of the different Bbq sauces. A tad bit on the pricey side though. read more

Quick and delicious. Ribs are nice and tender and the fries are good. Great variety of sauces.

The dryest brisket I have ever tasted. Sauces average, and salad average. Sweet tea was good. Will go back in a pinch for the jalapeno cheese sausage. Services was very quick and friendly. read more

My husband and I went here for lunch and I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and he had the smoked turkey sandwich with fries. Both sandwiches were excellent and both had large portions of meat. I only wish they had one closer to us in the Lancaster area! read more

Beware! When eating at this restaurant you will be forced/shamed into standing up at the top of every hour to sing the National Anthem. In addition the brisket was dry and tasteless. They seemed more concerned about forcing everyone to stand than on the quality of their food. read more

Hey, it was barbecue and better than anything I can get back home. The meat was good and the sauce options were decent but the sides were severely lacking. If they added a few more solid side options it could be 4 stars. read more

Very good food, very casual atmosphere, very friendly service. Ordered the brisket with sides. I will be back and look forward to trying other items on the menu. Different sauces right on the table are great. read more

First time there. Has the look and feel of Rudy's BBQ in TX. This place pays homage to Armed Service members and first responders. Army-Navy-Air Force paraphernalia abound as well as local police and fire. Every day they play the National Anthem at noon. An old 5 ton outside adds a nice touch as does the greeters in their "victory role" hair do etc. My wife got the pulled pork and baby back rib 2 meat combo. They were generous with both as well as my brisket and jalapeno sausage combo. The sides were green beans and bacon and corn bread was thrown in there too. I know the fries are fresh cut w/skin on. The brisket and sausage were great. The meats come dry with a six pack of sauces at each table. I tried all of them. This was some of the best brisket ever. My wife said the ribs and pulled pork were excellent. Don came over as did the girl in the Victory Role hair. Don explained everything and was knowledgeable and friendly. I hope these people get paid well because they represent the business well. This is a place to go to if you're in the area and I'll be back. Nice job! read more

best barbecue by far!!! Staff was outstanding couldn't ask for better service! Very clean and honors all out home town heros!!! Even had badges from all around the world!!! RIBS ARE AMAZING 10/10 recommend read more

Food is always on point. If you are a true American this is the place to come to. Love the glass soda bottle stand as you wait in line. Service is quick, and the workers there are always friendly. read more

Go to this place very often! My family loves this place so much! Love their pork bbq & mac & cheese that's my personal favorite and it's beyond delicious. Everything about this place is cool. It has a very cool set up. You walk in like a cafeteria like vibe. Go acrossed & watch them make your food. I love the variety they have. They give you a huge tray of sauces at the table and they keep paper towels at the table. They're condiments & straws are in a tool box it's honestly such a cool vibe & delicious food! read more

Good stuff! 1st time, had brisket, pulled pork, corn bread, fries, creamed corn, cornbread and Mac and cheese. Everything was much better than smokey bones, and reasonably priced. The brisket was really good, almost Texas good, but the pulled pork was better. All the sides tasted home made, but the creamed corn and corn bread were the big winners. Most importantly, the sweet tea was on point. Well done. read more

Great brisket, and jalapeño sausage , corn bread , beans, and slaw , but then there is the ribs . All the meat comes "dry " and you get to choose what type of BBQ sauce if any . Personally I like to add the sauce to the meat in the last 5 mins of grilling . That said for a restaurant , missions method works fine and is certainly better for take out which is how I ordered everything. The ribs were fall of the bone moist tender and well smoked. I liked the hot/sweet sauce on them but would not need it. I have tried the pulled pork, its not eastern carolina grade but you don't have the 6 hour drive either. I hear the turkey is very good as well but it's not thanksgiving dog , and beef and ribs please. The long and short of it great BBQ is available in the York area. read more

Food was very good and staff was friendly. I was not wow'd by the staff yelling the greeting it the door from across the restaurant. It was annoying when I was at the door and more so when we were eating. That said, the cornbread was the best I've had in a long time. read more

Finally a good BBQ place in York. The food is excellent. They have 6 sauces to choose from, and you can sample anything on the menu. There are seasonal sweets and sides too which can be very tasty. Definitely recommended. read more

Working in York Pa, I'm from Pittsburgh pa . This is hands down the best BBQ I ever. Beef brisket was phenomenal. The service was amazing, Don took excellent care of us. Highly Recommend!!! read more

The staff is always awesome! They are friendly, helpful to suggest things to try or even provide you with samples for whatever you are unsure about trying. The only reason I am giving a 4 instead of a 5 is twice my brisket was a little on the dry side. Not enough to complain about at the time, but enough to mention it here and doc it a star. read more

A frequent spot for lunch with friends! Great food, friendly staff restaurant is spotlessly clean always a pleasure to visit a highly recommended great American restaurant. Thanks for your support!! read more

One of my favorite local spots. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. The brisket is the best I've had outside of Texas.

Worth every dollar!!! It's a very dress down place and not assigned seating but the food is outstanding!!! Plus a large portion go to the Wounded Warrior Project to help our wounded troops. This place sends a great message and they give you more then enough food for your money. Love this place. And the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. read more

This place is amazing! By far the best bbq around. plan on using them for parties in the future.their signature sauces have great taste and pretty much cover all flavors of bbq. Don't think I can go anywhere else for bbq now and I cant wait to come back and try other menu items. read more

This is the holy grail of BBQ! The staff has been amazing every time I have been there super friendly and helpful. The food has always been good served hot and fresh. Would recommend this to anyone if your looking for great food reasonable price and a place that really cares about soldiers, fire, and police ect. For an added bonus check out the guys bathroom. read more

Terrific service, so far we can say the brisket, pork and sausage are wonderful. Nice to have a real bbq place in York. Choice of sauces is really fun and the cornbread is excellent. Their commitment to the Veteran's is fantastic read more

Best BBQ that I've had in a while and it was unexpected as we were just expecting "standard-nothing-special" chain restaurant food. The sauce that you can buy to go is also excellent. Delicious fries as well. read more

The service was fast and friendly. The meat was good, but the Ribs were a little cold. A nice ambiance in the restaurant.

Awesome BBQ and sides, love the ambiance and staff is super friendly. About $20 for two people. Wish they would toast their sandwich rolls.
