    Mess Plate
    Lynn K.

    Really friendly counter staff and so many choices! I got a pulled pork sandwich and fries and my date got the mess plate. We enjoyed everything. There is a condiment station where you can add sauces if you like. Give it a try!

    So we went to the Ambrosia concert in Warren, OH. We decided to leave early to grab a bite to eat along the way. We stumbled upon this place. OH-EM-GEE!!! Hands down THEE BEST bbq. The picture speaks for itself. It's not a big spot, but the service is great. It's a tiny bbq joint, and it can be a bit crowded inside, but they do have outdoor tables. They also have a creamery, right next door. We didn't get to try it because we were so full. I ordered the "Mess Plate" for $9.99 It comes with pulled pork, Mac n Cheese, sprinkled shredded cheese and two onion rings. I couldn't finish it. If you're in the area, definitely check them out!

    There is something that just feels right about being greeted with BB King and Blues Brothers music when entering a BBQ spot. I loved the ambiance of said music, warm conversation of adjacent families sharing their meals, and of course, the smell of some good cooking. The variety of sauces was fun, the tea was good, and the sides and BBQ themselves were on point. The service for better or worse is pretty hands-off. Be aware also that they charge a bit more for brisket when eaten as a part of their meat sets, for some reason. Good times here, and I would visit again if I get to visit the Buckeye state.

    Brisket, sausage, collage greens, and slaw. Yum!

    So many choices so little room in my stomach to eat it all.... But I tried. Pork rinds. I love them. Especially when they are fresh. These came in a pretty big paper bag and were suuuuper tasty. Brisket.... Just right. I think I got a little of each sauce and had fun dipping little pieces of it to try them all. The sauces were all great. But I liked the mustard one best. The burnt ends were my favorite. The sausage was spiiiicy! But so, so tasty! Collard greens were some of the best I've had. I couldn't eat it all and ended up eating the rest for lunch the next day. You definitely get your moneys worth. The kids got burgers and were very happy with them. The gal at the counter was super helpful and patient with the indecisive teens. It's probably a good idea I don't live nearby or I'd be here on the regular.

    You know the moment you walk into this joint that there's a legit pitmaster somewhere on the premises. I have traveled all over the country and have been to some of the best bbq joints in KC and Texas. This place is hands down some of the best bbq I have ever eaten. The flavor profiles in the shkrimps n cheddar jalapeño grits and in the greens are rich and well balanced. The ribs were perfectly seasoned and tender. The mac n cheese is creamy and delicious. I'm a dry rub bbq fan. I did not try any of the multiple flavors of bbq sauce. I was so stunned by how delicious the bbq was, I had to go next door to the creamery and experience the hype. I tried the Cookie Monster and the Blueberry Cheesecake, highly recommend. The staff and service were also top notch. Big ups to the owners. This is a hidden gem.

    Brisket

    I got the ribs last time and they were good but the brisket i got this time was pretty mid. Really dry and not a lot of flavor. The sides are where it's at tho espescially the cheesy potatoes!! The corn casserole is not bad as well but ive had better. My faves are definitely the cheesy potatoes and actually the pickles lmao they slap pretty hard

The staff is incredibly polite, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to serving every guest with honor--which fits perfectly with the mission and values the restaurant stands for. You can feel the pride they take in both their service and the experience they offer. One of the things that truly sets Mission BBQ apart is their unwavering support and respect for U.S. military veterans.

It's a place where servicemen and women are not only welcomed but celebrated, making the dining experience even more special for those who have served or are serving our country. The food is outstanding--consistently flavorful, fresh, and made with great care. Everything from the brisket to the pulled pork, ribs, and chicken is cooked to perfection. Their barbecue has a depth of smoke and seasoning that stands out, and it's clear that quality is at the heart of every order. The sides are just as impressive, with generous portions and a homemade taste that perfectly complements the main dishes. No matter what you choose, you can count on receiving a meal that feels thoughtfully prepared and truly satisfying. The seating is relaxed and convenient, allowing you to seat yourself wherever you feel most comfortable. The environment is casual, welcoming, and filled with patriotic touches that give the restaurant a unique and meaningful character. It's a place where families, veterans, first responders, and everyday customers all feel equally valued and appreciated. If there's any challenge you might run into, it's simply the crowd.

The combination of exceptional food, respectful and friendly service, meaningful support for veterans, and a welcoming atmosphere sets it apart from so many other places. Every visit is a reminder of why this place continues to stand out, and I'll happily keep returning for the incredible experience they offer.

The meat of the brisket was so tender and the potatoes were flavorful and perfect! I would definitely take my friends and family here if I came back to the east coast.

Your shoes stick and make noise the whole walk to your seat. They were clean, but somethin ain't right! Table Popcorn was good, definitely see how it works to get your stomach ready by grazing on a snack! Couldn't pinpoint the seasoning but it wasn't bad. Fried Dumplings, half spicy half mild. My goodness! My lips/gums were burning from the spice BUT the flavor was extraordinary and enjoyable despite my sensitivities LOL. The mild ones were perfection and flavors meshed well together. BEST CHICKEN & FRIES EVER! Kickin Bourbon (maybe SBR's?) were very fun and exciting on the palate. Definitely have that bourbon taste present and spice level was beginner friendly. The Soy Garlic were also delicious, it seems this was the "mild" sauce that was on the Fried Dumplings per my tastebuds' thoughts. Parmesan Truffle Fries had that perfect crispy thin outer shell and meaty inner potato heaven. Truffle level was satisfactory and not lacking (but could always do more). Food was fresh, table water was cold (thankfully) with an orange slice, & employees friendly. I did sit for about 10-15 minutes not eating anything due to needing a box and I had to initiate asking for one instead of it being offered. I love being left alone to eat, but don't forget about me! I will be back for sure.

    I was out thrifting in Warren so I decided to give Cockeye Creamery a try after seeing it…read morerecommended by an online article. Located on the North side of Warren on 422 the Creamery is located in the parking lot of Cockey BBQ. The menu is a bit limited compared to most ice cream places, it has cones, dishes, sundaes (hot fudge only, milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches, plus hand packed pints and quarts. The variety comes from the variety of unique flavors of ice cream; I tried to get a picture of the flavors board, but the video screen was in the sun and was very hard to read. Service was nice, I got a sample of the Cornbread and Sorghum, which was unusual and very sweet. I ordered a dish with 3 scoops, which was a generous portion. All the ice creams were creamy, not too rich with good flavor, also the ice cream was served just at a great temperature, firm, but not solid so that the flavors really hit the palate. The Key Lime Pie was Key Lime ice cream with graham cracker and marshmallow creme, nice and balanced if not as tart as real key lime pie, but still tasty. The Kong, banana ice cream with graham crackers and mini buckeyes was great, the banana flavor was as good as I have had in an ice cream, not artificial at all. My favorite was the Andromeda, chocolate ice cream with brownie pieces and chocolate chips. The chocolate ice cream was the real star here, rich and chocolaty and not too sweet, this is what you want if you are a real chocoholic. Cockeye Creamery is concentrating on making great ice cream in some unique flavors, well worth a visit if you are in Warren and you want some high quality ice cream. Definitely worth a visit when you deserve a treat.
