Service is fantastic! That is something that's hard to come by these days unfortunately, but the staff here is amazing, very friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, respectful, and hard working. The food great, the menu has plenty of options. AND, if you're avoiding gluten, they do have a menu that lists all of their gluten free options which there good options. The staff is also knowledgeable as well. I was picking up my food at the counter as my number was called and the lady who handed my tray to me knew my order was gluten free and even told me about the BBQ sauce to avoid because it has gluten. I was blown away as I don't think I've experienced that before. On that note, there's only one sauce out of the 6 or 7 sauces that has gluten which is another plus. Anyway, I definitely recommend this place. One of my tests for BBQ places is the coleslaw and they nailed it! Very few places do. Try the green beans and fries too. Enjoy! read more

Mission BBQ - BBQ food with coleslaw, fries, and pulled pork. - Barbeque Near Me - Boardman, Ohio

Everything was spectacular especially the Brisket. I would definitely recommend Mission for any family gatherings.

Delicious food with friendly, knowledgeable servers!! The sides were different and delicious.

10/10. Collards were great. Smokey Mountain Bbq was the perfect Smokey. Cold slaw had a little kick. I ordered the Brisket moist. Overall great meal read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants of all time! The food is always the best, the staff is helpful and happy and fun to talk with and the helpings are extremely generous!! I just ate their Smoked Cheeseburger for the first time tonight along with their Cheesy Potatoes and their Baked Beans with Brisket ... that was the best burger I have had in a long time. I told my wife that I was especially glad to know that it was real meat!! And I also loved their brownie... that thing is huge and full of goodness! read more

First time I've walked out of a BBQ place still hungry, but here we go..... I ordered a sliced beef brisket sandwich and I tried ordering a side of potato salad. But, I was told they don't sell potato salad except for in the Summer! What kind of BBQ joint doesn't have potato salad!? I mean, they sell potatoes all year. I guess they feel it's only for Fourth of July! So, I ordered a side of BBQ beans. A sandwich, beans and a small drink for just over $20?! Besides being disappointed right off the bat, I got my order to find the sandwich bun was rock hard and seemed stale and the order of beans was tiny! Not the kind of BBQ place I want to visit again, and trust me, coming from Texas, I've been to many, many a BBQ joint. Oh, how I wish there was a Terry Black's BBQ or Hard 8 BBQ up here. One of the things I miss from Texas. Good BBQ. This visit will be my last to Mission BBQ. Awful experience. read more

Some of the worst barbecue I've eaten. This includes the sausage which the casing was rock hard.

The manager (I would assume) was amazing! He loaded us up with sauces, everything was fresh and the order was ready before our pick up time and he packed and inspected everything for accuracy. Very good vibe everyone was taken care of and in a timely matter. Will definitely go back again, and to this location vs Niles. read more

Great service, everyone was so kind and happy to help, and the food is just next level. One of the best barbecue places around. I love the classic pulled pork, but my mom swears by the shrimp they have right now. read more

This is a 3.5 for sure, food is solid but portions don't match the price. I got the meat sampler with sliced brisket and pulled pork and it wasn't much to look at. But the food is very good, service was fast and friendly. I would come back again, if they adjust their portions to better suit the price tag. read more

The most brisket was amazing, the customer service was the best! I have been to many BBQ spots in America, and this is by far one of my best experiences! The pulled pork was juicy moist and had great flavor. Covered in patriotic symbols with photos, challenge coins, photos of service members, this BBQ spot is a great first time. Highly recommend! read more

Mission BBQ - I ate everything before posting! - Barbeque Near Me - Boardman, Ohio

Great BBQ and wonderful service. The brisket is fantastic and this from a Texas boy who knows his Q. The green beans with bacon are really something to behold give it a shot and I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Great food!! Service was good. Plan on sitting outside next time. Very clean. Will definately return.

I was drop dead amazed at how good the ribs were. Your mileage may vary. But I generally hate fall off the bone pork ribs. This place had the best ribs I have ... 1) ever gotten at a chain 2) ever eaten out The sauces are on the table (it's post-Covid yinz!) and very good. Even have a bottle of Carolina vinegar sauce like for pulled pork n'at. Seriously, from the food to the service! I mean, City BBQ sux as far as service. This place, wow! Amazingly good! Considering you go down a line after your order and they hit you over the line with your food. So, you expect to get zero table service. But serious. Ambrosia and the other waitress absolutely spectacular. And some guy with red hair, I guess the manager. All great all the way around. This place really puts all my other five star reviews in perspective. Like, did THEY do what this place did? Lol! Anyways, will be back. Oh and the greens KILLED!!! read more

Mission BBQ - Two half racks of ribs, greens, cornbread! Look at that smoke ring!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Boardman, Ohio

The food here is excellent. They have every meat you can get barbequed. Their sides also include a very good macaroni and cheese served casserole style, along with other sides like Baked Beans with Brisket. The service at Mission Barbeque is always impeccable. The people are always smiling, you get to see your food prepared and they show you your meal before you take it home or to your table to eat. At their Boardman location, I have always gotten great service. Their ambiance is very rustic and unique, displaying signs related to American patriotism and respect to our country's veterans. This business was founded by Veterans of the War on Terror. It is a great place to eat with a great product. It is a growing chain of barbeque restaurants across the country. In NE Ohio, there are three locations: Boardman (near Youngstown), Parma (near Cleveland) and there is one either goin in or already In Niles, Ohio near Warren Ohio. This is a great place to get great barbeque. Every restaurant does the tradition of standing and saying The Pledge of Allegiance at Noon everyday. A great veteran owned business. A+ food. read more

As a veteran, I have to support this group. BBQ is adequate, but the Brisket ain't TEXAS and the Pulled Pork ain't MEMPHIS. Still the best choice for BBQ in this area that I'm aware of. read more

Always an amazing experience! They are beyond friendly and had tremendous customer service as well as the AMAZING food! Highly recommend! We also had mission BBQ cater our wedding and they have an amazing price and made our day more incredible read more

A solid BBQ spot in boardman Ohio. I got the fatty brisket, turkey, and baby back ribs. Everything tasted great. Very reasonably priced as well. They also have a big variety of sauces too. Give them a try! read more

One of my favorites. Collard greens are very tasty. Black plate special is always delicious! Staff is very friendly. Brisket is always moist and flavorful. Try all of the sauces, memphis belle is my favorite read more

Went in last night for a quick bite as we were attending a graduation the next day and just got into town. We had heard of the chain before, but had never tried it. We went in and you could tell it was going to be good by the smokey smell of barbecue. We ordered our food. The cashier was a very nice guy who also took our order. We got our food and looked at the really cool sauces that were on the table and had to try them all. We got Turkey, brisket, and pulled pork. All very good. The sides were tasty too. Lance, the gentlemen who was working the dining area came by to check on us a couple times. Very friendly and engaged in conversation to find out where we were from and why were we in the area. We told him we had come for the graduation ceremony and five minutes later he returned with four desserts and congratulated us. Although we won't be back to this locale, we will try the other locations which are closer to our home. Thanks. read more

Visiting the area from California which I do on a regular basis. Highly recommend the bbq here...amazing food, friendly staff and if you're a patriot, they play the national anthem at noon ever day. I was lucky to have found such a cool place, I will be back for sure and I'll make sure to tell everyone about this place. Hats off to the owner and staff! read more

Food was amazing. Wish I could give higher than 5 stars. Staff and service were the best I've had in 20 years. I'm from out of town and could not believe it was a franchise (not a mom and pop shop) by how amazing the staff were. I wish we had this spot where I live! Thank you - u are all awesome!!!! read more

WOW everything from the food to the people, just WOW! First time here. While waiting in line I heard the manager, Lance training a young man. He spoke to him with a kindness and tone we would all want used with our children when learning at their first job. The line was long (because WOW) moved very quickly. Use your time in line to view the menu and maybe choose a frosty drink from the ice filled tub with a fascinating array of choices. I had the amazing brisket, Mac and cheese, collard greens. Darling husband had 3 meat sampler. Each meal cones with a tasty piece of cornbread. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Tried every sauce, including a special one. It was on the table like the rest. Lance saw the hubby having turkey and made a trip to the kitchen for some Alabama white. I must have seen Lance check on each table at least 3 times. It felt like coming to a friend's for an amazing meal. Already planning out next trip here. read more

Mission BBQ - two trays of food on a table - Barbeque Near Me - Boardman, Ohio

Lives up to the high standards I've come to expect. Friendly greeting, Apple Pay support at POS, fast service, and great food. Brisket was excellent tonight. Mac and cheese was on the creamy side (I prefer drier) but I ate it all so there you go. Corn bread perfect and of course, I got the brownie - a third at the end of the meal and the rest for later. So glad they were within walking distance of my hotel, just wish this town had sidewalks ;-( read more

Love the oak smoked brisket and baked beans. The manager came around to check on everybody and gave my family free cookies just because. Great staff, super friendly and kind. Delicious food at a decent price. read more

Very nice staff. I have had much more tender ribs at other restaurants-even Applebees is much better. Very disappointed and lacking value for the price. Lemonade wasn't great either. The only thing I liked was the cornbread. I won't be going back. read more

Mission BBQ was a great experience for my family and me. We enjoyed everything about it. The service was fast and friendly. The food was phenomenal and the best BBQ I've probably ever had. The atmosphere is nice and the personal photos are cute. We will definitely return here again. There is a nice outdoor seating area as well. read more

Great food! A bit pricey, but all BBQ typically usually is! The service is great and they are really nice and help accommodate you!

Excellent food and service! The sides we had were as good as the smoked entree meats.

Absolutely delicious!!!! Everything was delicious. Every single side! Mac, Potato salad, greens and cornbread!!! Delicious... my first time here, they definitely understood the assignment!!! Brisket was tender but done! Love love love ..and not to mention the lemonade! Wonderful staff . Nice and clean! I'll be back! read more

Bbq is delicious! I tried the pulled chicken sandwich with coleslaw. This trip I used the Smokey mountain sauce. Restaurant is very clean and staff friendly and helpful read more

Can't say enough great things about this place! You're always greeted right once you walk in, and they get the food out to you super quick, even when they're busy. I come here at least once a week and get their pulled pork sandwich and fries, and it never disappoints! Pulled pork is melt in your mouth tender. Definitely a place I always recommend and where I take anyone visiting the area. A little pricier to some people, but worth it for the quality of the food and the outstanding customer service! read more

We've gotten takeout from Mission a few times. The food has been pretty consistent each time. Ribs and "moist" brisket are the best! They have a huge choice of sauces and will give you as many as you want so you can find your favorite. I like the Smokey Mountain and Memphis Belle. Service is fast so you can be in and out while keeping good distance from other patrons. The food is a tad salty so plan on a BIG glass of your favorite beverage to go with it! read more

Had takeout tonight from this amazing place. All 4 in our party were very impressed with the quality. We ordered ribs, brisket, baked beans, cornbread, and peach cobbler. I can only imagine how good it would be in the restaurant. read more

Place has some amazing bbq for being on Ohio. I can't complain about the portions or the prices. Will definitely be returning. Manager was very attentive. read more

Saturday Mission BBQ in Boardman catered the Hubbard VFW annual golf outing. I have to give Sarah from Mission BBQ, a great big thank you for the job that she did for me. When I first sat down with Sarah, she helped me with the menu. I set the time for her to deliver the great food. I had the change the time 3 times! and all 3 times Sarah just said "I'll make it work" never getting upset just saying "I'll make it work". How professional is that to care about your customer do that. She did make it work, Sarah was right on time, and the food was just great! AS ALWAYS! Again I would like to thank Sarah and Mission BBQ For a job well do! read more

We love this place. My wife thinks their salmon is great - I've tried the chicken, ribs and brisket and have trouble deciding which is my favorite - all are fantastic. Sandwiches are huge. Never go away hungry from this place. Sides are outstanding: baked beans, cole slaw, and mac and cheese are our favorites. Price is right - and the staff couldn't be better. Efficient and friendly, they are very helpful to the first-timers. Big tent outside if you are concerned about eating indoors. Great selection of drinks (pepsi is dispensed but coke products as well as orange crush and other bottled drinks are available for the same price) We go there at least three times a week for either lunch or supper - can't go wrong! read more
