I went to this place ordered the brisket (moist) . Came out little bit dry than I had it from a different location of mission barbecue. And Paloma the waitress (very nice person) came and replaced that with very moist and tender brisket. Thank you guys so much….

The staff was very Professional and overall friendly. Good vibes from both the staff and manager. They made sure we had a lovely assortment of barbecue sauce, meats and sides. The place was kept in good condition and had amazing cleanliness. Although the restaurant was busy we had little to no wait time. Not to mention that the food is simply magnificent, astonishing and just melt in your mouth like a dream.
I love BBQ, but who doesn't, right?After moving from Ohio to Florida I thought I would experience some great BBQ. I was used to places like Montgomery Inn and City BBQ. It just seemed like BBQ in my little corner of Florida was hit and miss until I discovered Mission BBQ.I've seen a few here and there but never ventured inside until today.Wow, was I surprised.First of all, when you walk in everyone greets you as you enter the restaurant. Second, you see the love they show for our country's military services and our first responders.We ordered three different.I had a turkey sandwich with baked beans w/brisket, my mother ordered the brisket sandwich with a salad, and my father ordered the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans w/brisket.At the table you will find six different sauces (all extremely amazing).As I was trying all the sauces out Michael, the manager, came out to greet us. He brought out what they call an Alabama white sauce, which is a horseradish sauce, paired particularly well with the turkey.Michael is an amazing guy. He talked with us for awhile and gave us some great recommendations.All the sides were really good. I loved the backed beans and the green beans with bacon (who doesn't like bacon?). My mother also like the green beans and my father loved the collard greens.The desserts were also amazing. We shared a cup of the banana pudding and sweet potato pie.We're definitely going back. And we are going to be able to place a photo of my grandfather up on the wall to commemorative his time in the service.Check out those photos. I mean, they look good, but you can't taste those amazing flavors unless you actually go to a Mission BBQ.Parking: Shared lot in a shopping complexWheelchair accessibility: Very spacious dining area.
The food was very good. Pulled pork was moist and juicy, good with and without sauce. Baked beans were very heavy with BBQ sauce, so much that it was all I tasted. The chunks of brisket in it were very nice. Slaw was a good counterpoint. Cornbread was very dry, so I wasn't tempted to eat it by itself. However, it was a perfect palate cleanser. Only wish beans were not so heavily sauced. My mom really enjoyed her half chicken, and another person enjoyed the brisket. Everyone was happy with their sides.

02/28/2024: First time coming here and everybody is so nice and helpful ❤️, they see you looking for something and someone from the back comes to help out. The cashier clearly explained the menu to us, not confusing at all. The lady employee got a kick out of our story "we're here because Sonny's BBQ ran out of meats" ? she never heard of such a thing happening.At Sonny's: We just walked in the door and heard "we're out of brisket and chicken" that's half their menu gone in a flash. So we aimed for Mission BBQ because we wanted to try them out.The lady employee said "the stars align and it was meant to be for you to be here and find a new favorite BBQ Restaurant".

My husband and I came in Monday night, veryyy close to closing time, which i was apprehensive to do but it really made the experience that we had THAT much more impressive. We ordered our food, which came out pretty quickly. I got brisket, mac n cheese and collard greens and he got chicken and baked beans. The collard greens, beans and brisket were barely warm. I really didnt want to complain about it because i could see that they were putting stuff away but in the end I did take the food back up to the front. I was pleasantly surprised with how they handled it honestly, I wish i knew the employees names but when they were replacing the baked beans, i saw the man temp them and then he asked me to try it and make sure it was okay. They were perfect, everything else was replaced with a smile, they even gave us banana pudding.I apologized again for being a pain in the butt and the man made a joke that if i was the biggest hang up he had today, hes doing well lol a few mins later while we were sitting down eating another man, that i assume was the manager came by our table and asked us how everything was. It was very impressive, ive worked in the service industry most of my life and I know how people in restaurants get the closer it gets to closing. Absolutely amazing experience. Im really not one to leave reviews but i really hope the owners or at least upper management sees how well their team is performing because this was the best experience ive had in a restaurant in recent memory. great customer service is sooo much more important than perfection honestly. Thanks Again Guys !!

Visiting Mission BBQ in Sarasota, Florida, as a Texan with high standards for brisket and barbecue, I was prepared for a tough critique. However, Mission BBQ not only met but exceeded my expectations, making it a must-visit destination for any BBQ aficionado. The ambiance of the place immediately sets a patriotic tone, with decor that honors those who serve and have served our country, creating an atmosphere that is both inviting and respectful.The star of the show, without a doubt, is the food. The brisket, which is often considered a true test of a barbecue joint's mettle, was nothing short of spectacular. It had a perfect bark on the outside, was tender and juicy on the inside, and packed with smoky flavor that could easily rival (if not surpass) what I've tasted in Texas. This is no small feat, considering Texas' reputation for high-quality barbecue.Beyond the brisket, every item on the menu seemed to be crafted with care and expertise. The ribs fell off the bone, the pulled pork was moist and flavorful, and the sides were a delightful complement to the meats. The mac and cheese and collard greens, in particular, stood out for their homemade taste and perfect seasoning.The staff at Mission BBQ added to the experience with their friendly and attentive service, making you feel like a valued guest from the moment you walk in. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is evident in every interaction.In conclusion, Mission BBQ in Sarasota is an exceptional find that transcends regional BBQ loyalties. It offers a culinary experience that rivals the best of Texas barbecue and is a testament to the universal appeal of well-cooked meats and hearty sides. Whether you're a barbecue purist or just looking for a delicious meal, Mission BBQ is a destination worth visiting.
