I hadn't been to this location in several years but my take out tasted as good as ever and my order was of course hot, fresh and correct. The pulled pork was a large portion and tasted very fresh, I used the Texas BBQ sauce but enjoy all of their sauces other than Alabama white (ick mayo-based BBQ sauce) and it paired just right. The green beans were as good as ever and the cornbread was tasty as well. The iced tea (half sweet/half unsweet) was perfect. I'll be back here next time I'm in the area and want some Mission BBQ. read more

I visit this Mission BBQ atleast twice a month and I always receive great service. Yesterday l ordered ribs and macaroni and cheese. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and flavorful. The macaroni and cheese was very good. My meal came with cornbread and a beverage. I selected Sweet Tea as my drink. The tea tasted homemade. It was sweet and really complimented my meal. I took my order to go but noted that the dining room was very clean. My father, several of my close family members, and friends are veterans. I love how Mission BBQ honors military service. I highly recommend this location and I will definitely return. read more

It is always a joy to visit Mission Bbq yet I hardly visit this place. I always like the ambiance & decor. I usually order Mac and cheese or green beans here with a soft drink. This time I got a brisket sandwich, a birthday free reward. I didn't feel like ordering anything else this time and it was fine with them. I got samples of each of their barbecue sauce to try on my sandwich. Service was amazing and took care of me well. read more

Last week we visited Mission Barbecue. We had been here once before, a few years back. Both times we have had a very good meal. Mission is a large airy restaurant with plenty of seating. You order at the counter, and then they quickly, and I mean quickly, prepare your order which you pick up at a different area at the counter. Highly recommended is the Meat Sampler as an entree, available with either 2 or 3 meats.. The brisket, pulled pork, and sausage were all tasty. The sausage was especially tasty! I also highly recommend the cornbread. This is some of the best cornbread I have ever had, not too sweet and with a great texture. We also ordered the Half a Yard Bird. The chicken was somewhere between okay and good. I didn't totally like the seasonings. The other sides we ordered were the coleslaw (which Mission calls "cold slaw") and baked beans. The lightly creamed coleslaw, with a good mix of vegetables was excellent, not too sweet and not too tart. The beans were very good, just a bit on the spicy side. Mission is a good dinner bet in the Hilltop neighborhood! read more

The brisket is incredible (moist) and a great single person portion. The mac & cheese is also noteworthy. The corn bread is on the drier side but pairs well with the meal and comes with your order. Staff at this location are very friendly and food comes out fast. read more

So, I finally hit up Mission BBQ and holy smokes(no pun intended) , it was good! I went for the fatty brisket and I choose fatty over lean for the melt-in-your-mouth experience. And you know I'm a sucker for good sides, so I was super happy with their mac and cheese too! The pulled chicken was a little saltier than I usually go for, but honestly, it barely registered after how incredible that brisket was. Definitely go check it out if you're looking for some american style BBQ! read more

Mission BBQ - Side mac and cheese, slaw 2 proteins : brisket (fatty) and chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This restaurant is military themed. They have veteran parking up front and there is military memorabilia and photos all over the dining area. Everyday, at noon, they play the national anthem. I thought they would offer military discount, but they don't. They have a large dining area that had some pretty loud music playing throughout. The staff was friendly and helpful enough, but I will admit, my interaction with them was very limited. It is located in a small strip mall so there is more than enough parking free available in the lot. They serve your barbecue favorites that include brisket, pulled pork, sausage, burgers, turkey, salmon, and chicken. They have fries, cole slaw, baked beans, green beans, and mac & cheese as sides. I ordered the brisket sandwich, which comes wet or lean. Wet has more fat and juice. I got the lean. I also got a side of the baked beans. My food was ready right away. My meal was delicious. They had a full compliment of condiments available including 6 varieties of barbecue sauces (Texas Twang, Tupelo Honey Heat, KC Classic, Smokey Mountain, Memphis Belle, and Bay-B-Que). The brisket was cooked just right and was very tasty. The beans were as well and had some meat in them. I really enjoyed my meal here and highly recommend checking this restaurant out. read more

I've never received service like this. Omg. Wow. I was greeted by Robert. Very professional, well put together, and a joy to place an order with. Upon receiving my order Katie graced me with her demeanor and presence. Dioses cooked everything to perfection. The food was so good, the environment was so welcoming. I've never been treated like this before and I'll be returning for both the food and quality of service. Thank you Mission BBQ team for delivering. read more

Was craving some Mission BBQ!! So decided to stop on my way home and pick up some dinner. Wish. Restaurant was closer to me!! ;(((( Was disappointed to hear their sides change seasonality because I had my mind set on some of their potato salad. Nonetheless-everything I ordered I enjoyed. Would definitely come here again!! Good food, clean restaurant and service with a smile...what more can you ask for?!!? read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled Chicken Sandwich with baked beans, greens, mac and cheese, coleslaw and sweet potato mash! - Barbeque Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Horrendous service. Will never come to this location again. No ONE assisted me when I came to pick up my online order. They were not busy as there were no orders being prepared or anyone else waiting for an order. I stood at the online pickup destination for several minutes with no acknowledgment as several workers walked by as well as a manager who was clocking out an employee. I eventually gathered my order (opening it twice without acknowledgement or assistance from any employee) and bagged my order that was on the counter on my own. Even my own bagging garnered no response from the staff. Horrible experience will not come back! Edit: Following my initial review, I was contacted by John Kendrick, the Director overseeing Mission Barbecue. He reached out the very next day, both via email and phone, and left a voicemail expressing his sincere disappointment about my experience. A few days later, we were able to speak directly, and during our conversation, Mr. Kendrick again expressed his concern and shock as I shared more details about what happened. I appreciated his genuine concern regarding the lack of customer service I encountered. He was attentive, professional, and assured me that the issue would be addressed. Based on our conversation, I'm confident that steps are being taken to resolve the matter and improve the experience at this location. His follow-up shows a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, which I respect and value. read more

Great bbq. I love the brisket (wet) and cornbread Very casual setting and very family friendly read more

Brisket sandwich was delicious. Plenty of fries for my son. He had a special dessert courtesy of staff. Mission BBQ brings back the good memories of being in the military. I was able to show my son the Marine Corps flag. Highly recommend this location for any veteran looking for good BBQ meat. read more

Despite there being a dinner rush, there were plenty of cashiers taking orders. The menu was self explanatory, everything was clean, plenty of seating and the FOOD was quick to come out and t'was delicious! The tables all had (6) optional sauces for your convenience with built in paper towel holders for those messy meals. The downs: - beans were nothing exciting - corn bread isn't the sweetest thing on Earth (for those of you who like it sweet) Overall: Great! read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Some of the best traditional American Barbecue that you will find anywhere around here! Also, if you have a lack of patriotism, you will feel out of place when all are called to stand for the National Anthem...especially at locations near military bases like this one. On that note, a patriotic note to all - remember that whether you are a fan of the military or not, every single member of our military contributes to protecting our individual rights and freedoms in the United States of America...and some pay with their lives. Don't take that lightly. I for one appreciate all that each member of the military does from the bottom of my heart. My hat is off to you, and thank you for your service and sacrifice! Keep up the great work Mission BBQ! read more

Good food. Great service. Really appreciate how much they support vets. Absolutely put their money where their mouth is. Brisket and pulled pork was good. I wanted the Mac and cheese to be as good as it looked but it wasn't quite there. We liked the food enough to cater a party and they didn't disappoint. read more

Mission BBQ always can fix a craving for BBQ. Brisket has good juicy flavor but a few pieces were a bit too tough. Baked beans surprisingly packed a real flavor punch. Tangy sweet, yet with a kick at the end. Cornbread was a nice free add on to the meal. read more

We most recently went to visit this location on a Friday night. The place was pretty packed with a long line. However, the line moved fast so we didn't wait long at all. The service was great! The employee at the cash register was really patient with taking our multiple orders. When our order was ready, another staff member showed us what was each in box to make sure our order was correct. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, collard greens, kid's rib meal with mac and cheese, and 3 meat platter, along with 2 drinks. Our total was around $42. The food was tasty and the portions sizes are big enough to get you full! I was even able the find my favorite drink that I can usually only get in the Midwest. There are also options for 6 different barbecue sauces, which are all very tasty, just depending on your preferences. The shopping center where the restaurant is located can get pretty busy so the parking lot was crowded. But we were able to find a parking spot. We will def return! read more

Get the pork BBQ sandwich and ask for Cole slaw on top. This doesn't count as a side. I like it much better than the brisket. Note that the baked beans are runny, opt for the macarons and cheese or potatoes salad, read more

First time at a Mission BBQ and I absolutely loved it. I had the Chicken Yard Bird full of flavor and very juicy. 1 side of macaroni and cheese and a side of potato salad. Macaroni and cheese was very good. Potato salad was the best I've ever had. 3 other people in my group all had brisket and said it was moist, and cut it with a fork. They had fries which were hot and crispy. The fry side is huge. Well worth the money and highly recommended. Andre was our cashier and he was great. Big smile, introduced himself, and answered my questions about the food before I ordered. Kitchen staff also said hello as we walked by to our table. Restaurant was clean. Wish we had a Mission BBQ in Charleston WV. read more

Sorry so late! The aroma of hickory wood burning, Heavenly!! Friendly smiling crew members! Customer Service etiquette, phenomenal! Attention to detail about the menu, awesome! Photos enclosed are self-explanatory!!! Most importantly, I shall definitely come back again and recommend this place to everyone I know! See you next time! Keep up the phenomenal work everyone!!! read more

So I had some pretty high hopes, which I think is why I didn't LOVE everything but I did like it and I would eat everything again. My biggest complaint is the price, honestly if it was a little less I wouldn't mention it at all but hey times right now are tough/ everything is expensive so I'm not gonna deduct 's cause of it. I really liked the ribs but didn't feel like there was enough meat there, but they fell right off the bone and were well cooked. Mac & cheese, green beans and fries were good sides and the corn bread was really good too. Overall I would come back here, the pulled chicken sandwich was also good. Parking lot is huge and lots of space with veteran parking up front. The Memphis sauce mixed with the KC sauce is the besttttttt combo!! I also love how much they do in the communities and how active the company is itself and that's worth all the stars alone. - Insta @ SpicyAivy read more

Overpriced and the meat is overcooked. Unsold food should be on a timer to ensure freshness. Service was fine but the product quality is not so much. read more

Always the best! Quickest takeout ever with the best food!!! It's nice how they confirm your order & everyone is always so nice!

Fantastic! Love their brisket and baby back ribs! I am generally not a fan of potato salads but theirs is sooo good :) Their employees are so nice too! We were helped by a young teenage guy who was so nice and helpful! The whole experience was just very good. read more

My buddy and I had a great BBQ diner at Mission BBQ. You order at the counter and the gentleman once he found out I was new to the restaurant walked me through the menu. I had the 3 meats and I picked Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, and Beef Brisket. Compared to the prices I have been paying lately for dining out I thought the price was reasonable at about $25 for 3/4 lb of meat and a side salad. Super friendly staff and they are really quick. read more

Came here for a lunch party. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! 10/10 would recommend!

A great place for just about any meal, but make sure to come here for lunch! The restaurant gets pretty busy because of its location; about 100 yards from Ft. Belvoir. At 12 noon every day everyone stands, and the restaurant staff plays the National Anthem! The food is great. The employees couldn't be more friendly. When they find out you're a veteran, they treat you like royalty...which can be a bit embarrassing, but you know their heart is in the right place. My wife and son would go to Mission BBQ regularly while I was in Afghanistan, and they made my then-5 year old son feel very special. That means a lot to me. Their business model is second to none, and more businesses should make a point of honoring anyone, police and first responders, who risk their lives to keep us safe. read more

Ate here twice. My introduction was last week for a former colleague's going away, and I purchased a lot of food. Hands down awesome. I went back again on Saturday, and purchased two beef briskets, corn bread, cheesecake, collard greens, and more. I like the fact that they cook everything with wood, and having a veteran background, this is one of the better places that I have been within the United States. I appreciate the location and being able to serve not only my brothers and sisters-in-arms, but doing so with a smile. I also appreciate the cashier giving me the know how of what to order (everything was good) and letting me know to come back anytime, which I did in order to show my familiy more of what they can deliver at this resturant. Thank you and I will also be a frequent customer here as well. read more

Had my group of 90 8th grade students dine with Mission BBQ in Alexandria and they knocked it out of the park. From setting the event up with Jaycee to our groups departure, the entire Mission team were fantastic. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Love the greens and trying the cheesy potatoes. Pulled chicken, ribs, brisket and pulled pork mighty tasty. Our go to bbq place.

Food was amazing as always with great customer service.... The salmon is extremely underrated. Everything here is consistently good. Keep word consistently. read more

I can report that this place is still awesome. The spare ribs, fresh cut fries and Grammy's sweet potato mash were all fantastic. I didn't like the baked beans quite as much. read more

I went here because they sent me a sandwich coupon for my birthday. I had to choose my favorite the brisket. Since I had time to eat it in the restaurant I had the wet version and as usual it is just one of the best sandwich I ever had. I also had the cheesy potatoes which were great. Also for this visit I was able to get the blueberry cobbler dessert. This dessert is not always available. This is one of the best desserts ever. It is always warm when served. Also worth mentioning was that the food came out quickly after I ordered it. read more

The food is great! I go there quite a bit. Only one time was there an issue with the food. The area director, Jerry, called me personally. He wanted to make it right. He made it right! I am very happy with the customer service! read more

Stopped here for dinner for the first time and it did not disappoint. I had the brisket and it was moist and tender. For my sides I chose the Mac and cheese which was creamy and cheesy.

Mission Bbq did not disappoint! read more
