“Mission BBQ offers great food, atmosphere, and outstanding customer service. In addition, its support of our Military, First Responders, and Comunity is second to no one! If you haven't visited a Mission BBQ stop by at noon for a true patriotic experience.“

“Love the kindness of those who work here and the food is always excellent.“

“These folks know what’s up. We tried them out for the first time last night and I assumed it would be amazing based just on how good the smoker in the parking lot smelled. I was right.

The experience was awesome from the time we walked in the door. Friendly, accommodating, staff. Easy to read menu system. Even a self serve station to take home some of their house made barbecue sauces. There’s plenty to choose from!

We ordered food to take home: a pulled pork sandwich, one of the specials: the pit beef sandwich with horseradish sauce and onions (they subbed the raw onions for pickled onions for me, highly recommend,) the Brunswick stew, pimento mac and cheese, the brisket, smoked deviled eggs and jalapeño cornbread with their house made compound butter.

Not one single crumb disappointed. The food traveled well, was still hot when we got home, and the portions were more than generous. I waited a day to leave this review just so I could also confirm leftovers reheat just as fantastic as same day.

Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. Drove from Pittsburgh for dinner any was not disappointed!“

“Food is plentiful and delicious. Servers are really nice and bring the food to you quickly. If I could please make two suggestion: 1. Not sure how other customers feel, the heavy duty napkins are nice but we like the napkin dispenser on the table, that way we have the amount of napkins we need to keep our hands clean eating their nice big bar-b-cue sandwich?; 2. it also would help if you used a duplicate order pads (one copy at the cash register and one for the customer so the server can bring the check to the customer so they can see what they owe ahead of time and also makes the customer aware the servers shift might be ending ..r know the servers can see what they owe before they get to the register, it also would help the customer know the server’s shift is almost over. Unfortunately we missed giving our server her tip two times because B f“

“Great staff and the food is great, been here twice!!“

“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.“

“J Brian’s has great food, knowledgeable and attentive staff, and super awesome specials. Trivia nights on Mondays at 8 and the live concerts are always a blast too. Can’t recommend it enough- Stop by and give it a try!“

“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.“
