We were on vacation in Tampa - it was our last night - we searched for the best/highest rated bbq restaurant and because we had fractious kids we chose take out.We couldn't have been more disappointed.Our order hadn't been bagged up so the person who gave it to us kept opening the boxes to check who knows what.The portions were paltry and not deliciousWe didn't get everything we ordered and paid for ... we didn't notice our drinks were missing until we got back to our airbnb.Cannot recommend.

Ahoy, me hearties! It be I, ol' Blackbeard, back from the depths of Davy Jones' locker to spin a yarn 'bout a fine establishment that'll make yer mouth water like a salty seadog. Feast yer eyes (and bellies) upon Mission BBQ, a patriotic pirate's paradise in the heart of Tampa!Ye landlubbers may not know the meaning of true freedom, but this crew understands the importance of raisin' the colors and singin' the national anthem every day. 'Tis a sight to make even the most hardened scallywag well up with pride.But let's weigh anchor and set sail for the real treasure - the grub! By Poseidon's peg leg, these scurvy dogs know how to smoke a rack o' ribs! Tender as a mermaid's kiss and fallin' off the bone like a clumsy cabin boy. The brisket melts in yer mouth like a Spanish doubloon in a pot o' simmerin' gold.And shiver me timbers, the sides be a bounty fit for a pirate king! The coleslaw be as crisp as the ocean breeze, and the 'tater salad be a treasure trove of flavor. Even ol' Calico Jack himself would raise a tankard to these culinary delights.But what really sets this crew apart be the service. Aye, the lads and lassies workin' the deck be as friendly as a school of dolphins, with smiles as bright as a sunny day on the Spanish Main. They'll make ye feel more welcome than a pirate with a fresh cache of plunder!So avast, ye scoundrels! If ye be seekin' a place to fill yer bellies and yer hearts with the finest BBQ this side of the Atlantic, set course for Mission BBQ. This salty dog gives it two hook-hands up, arrrr!
Southern Flavor and Hospitality is real here. First time coming, thank you Kathy for the top tier service.

First time in the restaurant and came a little before noon and had to wait till the national anthem was done at 12:00 before ordering .❤️❤️❤️❤️ No problem waiting . Respect !!!Great BBQ : had the Brisket w/fat , 1/2 yard bird , and Salmon . All were great !!! Sides of potato salad and coleslaw . Wasn't sure if I was going to like the potato salad but got to try it before ordering . Both were great . Because it was my first time there the manager gave me a complimentary banana pudding was good but not as good as Grandma's .
By far one of the best BBQ restaurants we have been to. We're out here from Commiefornia, and decided to stop at a competitors location. Read some not so good reviews, but did read that Mission is the place to go. So off we went!! Upon walking in, we were greeted by staff (everyone is so friendly in Florida). Order our food and sat down. If your not local and looking for a good BBQ place to eat, this is the one!!!!

The three meat plate is a good way to try some great BBQ. And the sweet tea is sweet ?.
