It's hit or miss.

We’ve been going to this location since it opened. The food and atmosphere is good. Our only pet peeve is when the cashiers put half their hand, whether bare or with a glove on, in the last cup when giving it to us. The attitude usually comes after we ask for a new cup. Please train your people not to put their hand where customers will drink from.

If I could, I would give it zero stars. We like to have Mission on Sundays after church and this location on three different occasions has not have ribs. Visiting this location is not an option because the management staff is never prepared to serve their guests.
Arrived around 6 pm…The service was pretty good Rylee helped us out and she was very helpful and kind (I normally get the salmon but they ran out). However after that our experience wasn’t that great. The tables were dirty was random sauces scattered everywhere. I ordered the whole chicken with green beans and fries and my partner ordered the ribs with Mac and cheese and fries. Both of our meats were dry and bland (the chicken also had an unusual aftertaste), our fries were hot but soggy, and my green beans were honestly very gross looking the bacon was white like it wasn’t cooked and I had more onions than green beans also very bland.

Hands down the BEST BBQ I've had since moving to Florida. Every item in the menu is fantastic, and the selection of sauces is second to none.

My first time there wasn't impressed with the beans and potato salad, however the brisket was good.no garlic bread I got a hamburger bun for rolls.to me the meal wasn't worth the price we paid, need to make improvements on baked beans and potato salad.

My new favorite place. Simply amazing. The best part is the consistency between different locations. Have now eaten at several locations and it has ALWAYS been a 10/10

Let me start by saying that I'm usually not a big fan of chain BBQ restaurants. This place exceeded all expectations. The service was top-tier. They even sent out an array of samples because it was my first time here. That alone is something that's valuable and makes you want to come back. I had the 3 meat sample with the ribs which were good- not the best but good enough to come back. The brisket was good and the pulled pork was also good. The Banana Pudding was really good.
Overall, the food was good and I plan to go back there next weekend.

This Mission BBQ is in a convenient location and was easy to find. The restaurant was clean, well staffed and we were greeted quickly with smiles all around.
The menu spans lots of BBQ options and has a variety of sides to choose from to add to your order.
We ordered the Turkey Sandwich with Green Beans along with the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Fries. Both came out fairly quickly and cooked well. We also tried the Banana Puddin'.
There are several bottle varieties of sauces to use should you want to add flavor (though none is really needed). They also have seasonings like Old Bay to sprinkle on your fries if you wish.
Standard pricing as restaurants go nowadays. And no, they did not push giving a tip. I'm sure you could give one if you wish however it's an order up front and you pick it up type place so no tip is suggested.
The place is decorated with first responder and military memorabilia and wording to never forget 911.
An overall great place to eat and proud to go there.
Parking: Parking is in a shared lot with other businesses but plenty directly around the restaurant.

First time visiting Mission BBQ. Greeted by the person who took our order and I explained that fact and that I’ve had very few good experiences with franchised BBQ restaurants. She said I would have a different experience here. She was correct! Ordered the 2 meat sampler with one side and hero cup, self serve beverage. Brisket ordered tender (with fat) or lean. I got the tender and pulled pork with potato salad side and cornbread (included with meal) . Sweet tea for beverage. Wife got the turkey with Mac and cheese side and soda. Pork was amazing, very moist, great smoke flavor, and crust. Brisket was loaded with flavor, melt in your mouth with great crust. Potato salad had a little warm spice, I suspect either a little cayenne pepper (slightly red tint to the mayo) and or jalapeño, great flavor, not hot. Sweet tea was very sweet, I should’ve gone with half sweet/unsweet. Bottom line, I will be back and am looking forward to it. Possibly coming to Brooksville late in 2025. I will be there! Of note, they announced a 92 year old WW2 veteran was present and he had been a radar operator, this generated a nice round of applause!
