Mission BBQ is clearly on a mission to honor those who have served our country. The atmosphere is filled with images of military personnel, creating a patriotic and welcoming environment. The food itself is a true celebration of BBQ. I ordered the Meat Sampler with Baked Beans and finished with the Mississippi Mud Pie. The brisket was packed with flavor, and the wide variety of BBQ sauces ensures there’s something for everyone to enjoy. No hesitation—I’ll definitely be back.
Mission BBQ is fine for lunch, not for diner. The food fell short for me. The meats arrived noticeably dry like they’d stayed in the smoker past their prime, and they lacked the tenderness and juiciness you expect from good barbecue. The lemonade was also a letdown, tasting more diluted than bright and refreshing. If convenience is the goal, it works; but if you’re craving moist, flavorful barbecue with a crisp, tart drink, you may want to look elsewhere.
Drove all the way from Deerfield Beach and purposed to go to this Mission BBQ on Waters Ave. Due to traffic, we arrived 10 minutes before closing. The staff was soooo welcoming and warm and friendly. Great seeing Manny working the BBQ station. Food came out quickly (as always) and they were serving their amazing Banana Pudding to top it all off! Looking forward to coming back again!
