Pretty neat place. Tried their brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken and sausages. All fantastic! Also loved their selection of sauces!!! The hot honey was especially delicious. Hope i can visit again in the future soon to try out more of the menu! Forgot to grab more pics was busy stuffing myself.

Outstanding place I love this restaurant! They are patriotic to the Core. The walls are filled with first responder and Military photographs patches memorabilia it actually felt nice to walk into a normal restaurant that isn't dealing with all this woke bureaucracy of pleasing everyone. This is a tried and true American restaurant. The staff are outstanding, polite, friendly, courteous, and professional. When I pulled my Tactical PsyOp patch off my jacket, they instantly put it on the wall at eye level, and actually saluted me and said thank you. That alone almost brought tears to my eyes. You don't see that kind of respect anymore. I have actually been spit on wearing my Army jacket with my patches on it in restaurants down near wealthy and Lake area but I won't name them cuz I'm a bette

Major disappointment: we arrived at 8 pm. they close at 9 pm. They had no French fries....they had just run out. Didn't offer to make more. Mission BBQ has the BEST fries. Each one of us (there were 6 of us) was disappointed. It seems with an hour more til closing, they would have made more. That's why only 3 stars on service. More people came in after we did. The bbq we all got (we all got something different) was DELICIOUS. The coke slaw was perfect. The baked beans had a funny taste -- we didn't eat them. We do really like Mission BBQ and their mission to honor Veterans. So, we will be back -- buy hope they don't stop making French fries an hour before closing.

Great down home, midwest BBQ. Some great mains and sides, the ribs are particularly good and the salmon is fantastic. The Mac n cheese and the cheesy potato bake were phenomenal. Nice laid back atmosphere, and very attentive staff even for an order at the counter restaurant. They have sauces from all the major BBQ regions and some fun bottled soda. Definitely family friendly and reasonably priced.

★★★★★ 5.0 Patrick Conlan · Jun 2025

You wouldn't know that Mission run several BBQ restaurants as they have a very local vibe. The restaurant has all the BBQ classics and a killer carved smoked turkey breast that melts in the mouth. My Smoked Meatloaf was really tasty, and a good sized portion, and my sides of beans and potato salad went together well. The restaurant offers a choice of sauces and vinegar - My KC classic was smoky and delicious, and the Tupelo Hot Honey took my cornbread to the next level. The space is well laid out, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the restaurant honors our armed forces and first responders. What more could you want? Recommended.
