My family and I stopped in at Mission BBQ for dinner, and from the moment we walked in, we were…read morewelcomed like family. The young lady behind the counter was friendly, patient, and handled all of our questions like a true professional. The food was excellent across the board. My daughter ordered the burger, my wife had the salmon and turkey, my son had the ribs, and I went with the Yardbird. Everything was cooked perfectly, and no one had a single complaint. We tried a variety of sides, and the mac and cheese was the clear family favorite. While we were eating, we had a nice conversation with one of the ladies working in the dining room. She surprised us by bringing over two blueberry cobblers on the house, which was incredibly thoughtful. It was honestly the best blueberry cobbler I've ever had. Great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back. On a second visit My son and I stopped in for dinner after our CAP meeting. We placed our order and went to get our drinks. Shortly afterward, our order was ready. We both chose the smoked cheddar burger. I would have liked it to be a little hotter, but it was still very good. Of course, we paired it with fries and mac and cheese. While we were getting our food, I noticed a gentleman who had arrived before us was still waiting. He spoke with the manager and explained that he had already been waiting about 20 minutes and had not been called. The manager immediately apologized and had his order prepared on the spot. He then went a step further and issued the gentleman a full refund. It turns out the gentleman was a U.S. Navy veteran. Respect to Mission BBQ for doing the right thing and putting their customers first. That level of service still matters.

So good I devoured the food before I even took any pictures. I got a brisket sandwich (asked for…read morecold slaw on top) with two sides, mac and cheese and fries and my friend had the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and green beans. Both came with a drink and everything was hot and delicious. Big portions and everything was seasoned and flavorful. They have a bunch of different sauces to try, including a yummy alamaba white sauce and mustard sauce. Friendly staff and clean/inviting restaurant. We tried the banana pudding which was also very good. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Ocala. Yum yum!

The things that need to worked on like cleanliness of restaurant trash was over flowing. soda and tea machines were all not working at the time i went to get our drinks.someone told the staff and they eventually got out to fill the sweet tea, and get the soda machine up and running. When we got there the line was out the door amd down the sidewalk!.I double checked with the wife and she said well we had been wanting to try them and dont get down to Ocala very often so we opted to wait in line, eventually it was our turn i had the wife sit at an open table as the seating is extremely and i mean extremely limited. ppl were staging to get seats when ppl eventually got up after eating , I ordered our food ,at the time of ordering they bad everything i had ordered. by the time my order( 1 hr later )came up they were out of baked beans , so i got the wife corn nuggets. By the time i got to her with the food i had to refills her drink and finally sweet tea was full, There was a lady there who ordered , she told me while we were standing there it had been almost 2 hrs till she got her order.....!!!! Think with their popularity they may need to look into expansion if possible of the present location. or moving to a Much much larger location. And hire more help elevate the pressure off of the workers as they were definitely trying to keep up with the demand and sheer volume of customers.

The service was great and so is the laid back family place vibe. I started with 10 dry rubs wings…read morewhich came out pretty fast, piping hot, and crispy. They were great and let me try all the sauces on the table. The brisket sandwich and fries on the other hand, not so good. Most of the frozen crinkle cut fries were limp and not what I'd call completely cooked. Screwing up frying a brought in frozen fry is bad and hard to do. I ate maybe 4 of them. The brisket sandwich looked impressive - and the bun is!! The meat though is disappointing. Shaved super thin, maybe 4 oz of meat on the sea of bun, but the killer was the salt! This meat is super salty. It had good flavor until that salt hits ya. One and done place for me.

We haven't been to this barbecue place in years and now that we returned we are kicking ourselves…read morefor waiting so long! This restaurant has been here forever, but gets really great inspections from the health department despite being an older building. We ordered to-go and ate in the parking lot. What a feast! We ordered their current special: a full slab on payback ribs and 2 sides for a mere $14.99. That was to take home, but we sampled it in the car and no silverware was needed. These ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy and thick. It was hard to remember that these were for later, we wanted them all now! Our sides were fries and baked beans. The beans were good, but the fries were nothing special. My husband got a pulled pork sandwich with green beans and hasn't stopped raving about the green beans the entire time he was eating. He said the sandwich was delicious, too! I like meat cooked well-done, so I ordered a burnt ends sandwich and coleslaw. What a happy surprise that the meat was thinly sliced instead of the usual chunks served at other places! Every single piece of meat was well-cooked, tasty, and not at all fatty or greasy. I'm a fan! The coleslaw was delicious, too! Our to-go ordered was served with a smile, plenty of napkins and silverware and ketchup and salt and pepper and barbecue sauce. I found a new restaurant to crave (again)!

After our outdoor concert in the park at the Riley center, Ocala…read more We decided on Big Rascal BBQ, at NW Blitchton Rd. The waitress responded promptly with our drinks (No Diet Coke) only Coke Zero...No problem for me, but Dawn dislikes the Coke and Pepsi zero products. The Restaurant is nice, clean, spacious and well lighted (a plus for me) The waitstaff, and servers were cordial and professional. Not a big crowd, but it was nice with football on the t.v. and a little country music playing at a nice level. My 1/2 lb burger was cooked and seasoned well, it arrived good and hot too. The cold slaw was good, and tasty. Dawn had the 4 seasons salad, and she said it was good and the grilled chicken was palatable. Overall we had a good meal and decent experience. We would definitely come back again. Jewelz, our server made several trips to our table, and kept our glasses full.

Their iced tea was delicious too. They have tables and booths, so we sat in the back corner booth, super comfy. Drinks are self serve and I liked that. They have an outdoor deck area. There are some steps that lead up to the restaurant entrance. I wish I had paid better attention to see if there was any ramp access...so if a few stairs are an issue, call to check before you go. Can't believe how long I've been in this city without eating here; if you haven't yet, definitely try them out.

Mmmmmm.....ribs ribs ribs.....unlimited ribs!…read more We all ordered the unlimited ribs deal for $23.99. St Louis style with choice of sweet & smokey or house dry-rubbed. Along with two sides and cornbread. You can change up the type for each additional serving. So freaking good. Nice portions. My inner fatty was happy! The ribs were tender, tasty, with little fat, and prepared perfectly. A selection of different BBQ sauces on the table to try. Cole slaw and a baked sweet potato with cinnamon butter to put on it. After four rounds of ribs I was properly stuffed. Yum! Terrific service here, as she checked on us accordingly, brought our food over quickly, and made sure we had our unlimited ribs refills. Large and clean restaurant, along with clean bathrooms too. Our server also offered us drink refills in to-go cups as we were leaving. That's a nice perk.
