We always had plenty of attention when needing to order and drinks always filled. The Jalapeño Poppers were jaw-dropping amazing and the Brisket Nachos plate was delicious and large enough for two. Well Recommended! I'm hoping to get a chance to try more BBQ.

Decent BBQ... nothing to write home about but really no complaints. Perfect place for a new lunch…read more Nice outdoor seating (when it's not hot), tiki hut vibes and probably a great place for live music at night. The brisket was a bit dry on the cornbread smokestack. The cole slaw had pineapple chunks in it, but it was actually really good! The pineapple wasn't overpowering and I almost didn't even notice it was there. Service was nice and fast.

Mission BBQ is great "fast-food" bbq. The food is always super fresh, the workers are extremely…read morefriendly, and the service is wonderful. The restaurant is all about honoring veterans, and pictures/patches on the walls are all donated from local veterans (or their families). Any first responder or veteran gets a discount or treat! The NC Style pulled pork sandwich is a pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw on top. This is my go-to, especially because the sweetness of the Cole slaw blends perfectly with the pulled pork and bbq sauce (that I put on it). Plus, it seems like a great deal because you're essentially getting a "side" with the sandwich. The brisket comes moist (more fatty) or lean (less fatty) depending on what you prefer. Either one is super juicy and delicious. No matter what time of year, the cobbler is amazing. They change cobbler flavors but ALL of them are delightful.

We even got to chat with Eddie the Pitmaster for a couple of minutes, he is the real deal. I love BBQ and to me, there is no such thing as bad BBQ. That said, this was super good. I tried their Beef Brisket Platter and part of their The Pig Mac. With Manny the humanoid pig looking on, we dove in. The brisket was flavorful, no sauce needed. There was plenty of fat and plenty of slices. For my two sides I tried their coleslaw, which was fine, and their cucumber salad. I'm a big flavor guy and love cucumber slices soaked in vinegar. After we had ordered our food another customer stopped by our table and praised their The Pig Mac so much, we added it to our order. What a great recommendation. It is a sandwich with a cheesy patty of mac n' cheese, pulled pork on the side. We even got another side and tried their potato salad made with both white and sweet potatoes. I liked the thinking outside the box potato salad. The pulled pork, like the brisket, stood very well on its own without sauce. The pork topping the cheesy patty just worked so well. We will be back.

BBQ sauce is on the table. The brisket was hot fresh and lean. For all of the ridiculous reviews stating it's fatty- hello! Brisket is a fatty cut. It was perfection!

Dear Mouthole Smashburger & BBQ,…read more I'd like to file a formal complaint. First, your food is entirely too delicious. Every time we come here, we leave happy, full, and already planning our next visit. That's suspicious behavior. Second, the staff is ridiculously friendly. I was expecting the standard "here's your food" interaction, but instead we were greeted by genuinely welcoming people who seem to enjoy what they do. Again, suspicious. Tonight's offender was the patty melt. It was juicy, flavorful, and downright disrespectful to every mediocre sandwich I've ever eaten. I may never look at another patty melt the same way. As for my two biggest complaints: You're not closer to my house. You're not open every day. Frankly, I find both of these decisions deeply inconvenient for my burger addiction. All jokes aside, I have yet to find a single thing to complain about. Great food, awesome people, and a place that never disappoints. Mouthole Smashburger & BBQ has officially become one of our favorite spots. Keep smashing burgers and ruining all other burgers for the rest of us. We'll be back soon.
