The food was phenomenal, but paired with a cashier whose attitude is so negative it literally sucks the energy out of you, it’s not enough to make me go back.

Emily was our cashier and I could not tell you if she had teeth she was so dry and unengaged. My husband and two children decided to stop at Mission to grab lunch after an incredible soccer morning, only to be “greeted” by someone who seemed like they hated everyone. She’s better suited to work out back away from customers. She dampened our mood but luckily the cashier next to her gave us a huge smile and greeting which I thanked her for. A little goes a long way and not making people feel like they’re bothering you while they’re there to spend their money is not asking for much. Worst part is she had a “certified trainer” pin on. Hope and pray she’s not letting newly hired employees think it’s okay to have a crappy attitude. I understand people have bad days and displaying a smile is not always feasible but then don’t come to work or stay away from customers.

Aside from that, the food was incredible which is why I’m giving my experience 3 stars as opposed to 1. The lemonade and ice teas were perfect and we enjoyed everything we consumed.

I’ll stick to take out if I do make my way back.

Mission BBQ is not only my favorite lunch place but my KIDS! Anyone with kiddos knows how big of a win that is! A place where they can have fun and be themselves and they LOVE the staff! Shayna, Heather, John, Lisa & Anthony always make sure to take care of us and my kids scream for joy when they see them! We are frequent visitors and will continue to be!

I went to Mission Barbecue a few weeks ago and met Jamal. Jamal is truly the star of the show, he helped my family and I figure out what we should get to eat. His recommendations were amazing. My family and I got the brisket burgers and we absolutely loved it. Jamal is an amazing worker and shows that he cares for his customers. He is an amazing worker and we will be coming back for the amazing food and to see him too.

The woman working the register was extremely sweet and helpful. The woman working as a manager was very informative. Food was 10/10. Price was reasonable. Will definitely be back many times in the future!

I've been twice now!! Three of us all got something different and each meal was fantastic. I love the pulled pork sandwich and the option of 6-8 different sauces at the table!! Fries are great!! And sweet tea topped off some fabulous meals!
Will be going back this Friday at noon with a local friend that hasn't been there yet, and my sister who's visiting from Arizona!! I'm sure we'll have another rave review coming soon! ❤️

We recently ordered food from Mission BBQ, and it was such a hit with my family—especially my daughter, who couldn’t stop raving about their homestyle mac and cheese. That dish alone sealed the deal for us to have them cater our Thanksgiving, and let me tell you, it was the best decision we could have made!

Every bite tasted homemade—there are clearly no shortcuts here. You can tell people are really back there cooking with care. The meal felt like a classic cookout, bringing that comforting, soulful vibe to our holiday table.

The mac and cheese was the star for my daughter: a rich, cheesy, Southern classic with bold flavor that puts boxed versions to shame. The smoked turkey was incredibly juicy and full of flavor. But for me, the cornbread dressing stole the show—it was perfectly seasoned and brought back memories of authentic home cooking.

Other highlights included the smashed potatoes and gravy, which were clearly made from scratch and tasted as fresh as they come. The banana pudding was a delightful surprise—real bananas and a light, creamy pudding that didn’t have that artificial boxed taste.

If I had one critique, it would be the apple caramel cobbler. While flavorful, it was heavier on the syrup and apples than the crust, making it a bit too sweet for my taste. That said, I can see how some people might prefer it that way.

We were so impressed we’re already planning to have them cater Christmas! Mission BBQ has truly mastered the art of comfort food done right. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a stress-free, delicious holiday meal.

As soon as you walk in, the heavenly aroma of hickory and mesquite smoke hits you.

The ordering is done cafeteria style, with everything ala carte. Once your order has been placed, you fix your drinks from the self-serve soft drink, iced tea, and lemonade dispensers, then sit down at whatever open table or booth you'd like and wait until your name is called, whereupon you retrieve your food tray, and return to your table.

The portions were large, and the brisket was the best I've had this side of Texas. The pulled pork was tender and juicy, as was the smoked turkey. The salmon was both grilled and smoked, and was delicious. The fries were fresh cut, and made to order, and I could tell that the baked beans were slow cooked with plenty of shredded brisket. The cole slaw was crisp with a nice balance of sweet and sour. The iced tea was fresh brewed, and the lemonade seemed like it was made with real lemons.

At each table there was a "six pack" of different barbecue sauces in squeeze bottles, plus a glass "shaker" bottle of Carolina style vinegar sauce. It was nice (and fun) to be able try different sauces with the various meats and fish.

All and all a great family restaurant.

Dietary restrictions: A gluten free menu is available, with all of the meat, fish, and fries being gluten free, along with the beans, and coleslaw.

Parking: Dedicated parking place (right at the door) for veterans.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids and babies. Very family friendly.

Customer service is absolutely wonderful. We had an order with our issue and they went above and beyond to make it right. I was really grateful how kind they were. The brisket was delicious, the mac and cheese really good and the cheesy potatoes amazing. We loved the green beans and even the cole slaw was done really well.

Edited 11.30.24 - Visited today and again amazing customer service. They legitimately seem like they enjoy their jobs and are so kind. Love having them in our neighborhood.

Closed on Wednesday when the internet shows open. Every restaurant and bar in the county open on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. No excuse. Will never get a dollar of mine and my friends. Amateur operation. Go to Park Avenue a real restaurant.
