“Our first visit here will NOT be our last. It was Saturday, and beef ribs were on the menu! It was juicy tender with the right amount of smoke and spices. My wife and I sampled several different sides, the pulled pork, and the brisket sandwich. The owners aim to please and they did! Please support this local, family-owned business. You won’t be disappointed.“

“My husband and I had Mission BBQ Fredericksburg cater our wedding in July 2025. They took such great care of us! First off, the consultation was one of the highlights of our entire time wedding planning since my husband and I are big foodies. It was absolutely amazing - they had us try everything on their Black Tie menu!

They were very communicative and flexible throughout the process. The did a great job decorating their tables and the bar at the venue and they brought more than enough food to the wedding. They even packed a separate to-go bag for my husband and I and that fed us for a few days after the wedding - which was so nice!! They even gave us a thank you card. 🥺

10/10 highly recommend for catering (& for regular dining, too!).“

“Six of us were at the Northern Neck Beach Music Festival in Colonial Beach on 9/10/2022. All of us had your barbeque sandwich and agreed how tender the port was and it had the best taste with the seasoning used for the cooking and it was delicious with or without the barbeque sauce. Looking forward to eating at you place and hope you will vendor again at the Northern Kneck Beach Festival for 2023. Thank you for being there.“

“Love the taco truck and love the restaurant inside, everything is so good and folks are sweet to this freakishly tall gringo. Easier to order if you know some Spanish but so tasty it’s worth stumbling through the awkward exchanges with my high school Spanish.“

“Absolutely wonderful food! I've always loved their ribs since I first tried them. But today I had a sample of their pulled pork and fell in love with it. I'm originally from Texas, and having tried their ribs and pulled pork, made me miss Texas. Absolutely amazing food, keep up the great work.“
