I personally really like this location of mission BBQ, I think the Riverview one vastly overcooks their food. I find that the food here is always done perfectly and is also done quickly. I was craving protein after a workout session and this hit the spot. Highly recommend checking this place out if you have not, I really like that the meat is not cooked in sauce but that you have the option to put your own sauce on it afterwards. A lot of people tell me that they don't like barbecue because they don't like barbecue sauce so I always tell them to check out mission. The service is really good, always. It's also very clean. read more

The food was amazing!!! The service was above and beyond from the girl taking our order to our waitress who was very sweet and informative. I LOVED the wall decor, some may think it's too crowded, I myself loved how they included so many photos and relics of so many different Veterans and Police and Firefighters, it felt great to be in an establishment that was dedicated to so many heroes read more

I went to Mission about two weeks ago. Everyone was so friendly professional, and made you feel welcome. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone who's looking for some good homestyle, cooking and barbecue. read more

Mission is one of the best and most consistent BBQ places here locally. Service is always fast and very courteous. And you get your food quickly. Plenty of seating for all size groups I like how they always have a special dish to try as well. This trip I got pulled pork with fries. So good. Smokey and moist and you get a good amount of meat. I love their fries, cooked fresh when you order. You get a lot for your money. The variety of sauces at the table is nice. My favs are the Smoky Mountain and Gator Bite. Rest of my family got ribs, pork, brisket sandwich. Sides of beans, cobbler and mac and cheese. All very good. My kids always get the ribs and love them. The baked beans are great with actual meat in them. We have tried so many other places but come back to Mission as our favorite. The consistency and great choices along with great value can't be beat. read more

Mission BBQ is one of my favorite places to go eat for lunch or dinner! It's nice to walk in and all the employees are so friendly and they welcome you into the building. The meals that they offer are very delicious as well. The serving sizes are generous, I normally eat all of it but I should break it into two meals versus consuming it all at the same time. read more

Always the best and freshest ingredients. Great smoked turkey and brisket, chicken, and pork. All cooked to perfection along with sweet cornbread -- I am a fan! If you believe in the USA, arrive before noon for lunch and join them in the Star-Spangled Banner; it is better than baseball! A good place to enjoy all-American food, especially if you don't own a grill! The service is outstanding because they back their word- period! read more

Great service but expensive. Got 1/4 pound brisket and green beans, no drink. $12 and mostly fat. I asked for half dry half wet. It was mostly wet = fat. The girl at the checkout said I could get wet and they can trim the fat. ‍ Corn bread did come with the meal but it was on the dry side. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Hubby and I hadn't had Mission BBQ in a long time. Ordered the three meats and made it a 3 side combo. Was more than enough food for the both of us. The brisket here is moist, juicy and delicious. I also enjoy the homemade French fries. Service is delivered with a friendly smile. Always clean and inviting. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I cannot say for certain where the name Mission BBQ came from; perhaps the mission is superb customer service, affordable BBQ with excellent quality, mouthwatering sides or desirable desserts. Whatever the mission, what I can say is "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" My favorite and usual go to is the sliced brisket, preferably moist but all other barbecue items are just as delicious and what you'd find from the person smoking meats on at your local street corner. The prices are very reasonable with satisfying, consistent portions and quality making this a favorite and reliable barbecue joint of mine. All sides and desserts are homemade and Mission BBQ even offers seasonal items that keep me coming back! Whether you get the cheesy potatoes or the Mac n cheese, I promise you your socks will be knocked off from the prevalent cheesy goodness! My favorite dessert is the Apple Pie cobbler which happens to be a seasonal item so if you are lucky enough to see it on the menu, stop everything and order two of them immediately! Mission BBQ has a rustic charm to it that feels very homey but the true reason a person would feel so comfortable and welcome is due to the incredible, welcoming staff! On numerous occasions, I have been provided free sides just from side conversations I have engaged with staff on. This chain also treats military personal unbelievably well and will give free sandwiches on Veterans and Memorial Day. If you sign up for their email club, you also will receive a free sandwich on your birthday. This is a great restaurant with great food run by great people. Try them out! read more

Hard to find good bbq in Florida! Would I go back? Probably not. It was just ok, nothing special

It's BBQ. The place is clean and the food is as expected. It's a bit pricey for takeout BBQ. But it's good. The seasonal desserts are always a must taste. read more

I absolutely love Mission BBQ from the decor, amazing employees and delicious meat and sides. Especially love how they stop at noon every day to honor our country. My favorite thing there is the sliced moist brisket sandwich with some white sauce and vinegar sauce with their amazing fresh in house sliced French fries and the Mac and cheese. I also love their pulled chicken sandwich but can rarely resist the brisket. The black plate special Smoked Prime Rib is fantastic and will definitely get that again when it's on the menu as well as their cheesy potatoes. Give em a try, I think you'll be impressed. read more

Two meat sampler with two sides and a drink. This was like $26 with tax! Pork was pretty dry and not much smoke flavor, kinda tasted like it was made in a crock pot. Turkey was pretty good but not life changing. Fries were under seasoned and the corn bread was very dry. Green beans were pretty good. The sauces weren't bad. I just don't think it's much value for the money. I don't mind paying more for great BBQ and I know the meats aren't always cheap. I think i'll stick to non-chain BBQ read more

Mission BBQ is a great chain up and down the eastern seaboard. They started out in Maryland and now there in several eastern states to include Florida. The brisket here in Brandon, FL, is just a tender, juicy, and delish as in MD. If you see a Mission BBQ, stop in. You won't be sorry. read more

Food is amazing. The Brisket Meat Market is my favorite menu item and their Mac and Cheese is always perfect. Staff is kind and very accommodating. Atmosphere is welcoming especially if you like military/first responder decor. Great place to meet up with friends or just have a dinner by your self. read more

The brisket is to die for, tasty, so soft it melts in your mouth, the macaroni and cheese had a nice crunch on top and tasted yummy. My son had a cheeseburger and was happy with it, the fries were good. The service was friendly and the girl took the time to explain the options for me since it was our first time there. Can't wait to eat here again. The manager ( I assume) was friendly and checked on us. Love the ambiance, ample parking 5 out of 5 for me read more

I wanted to like this place, but even though the food is good, the meat is just way too salty. They need to tone it down with the salt content. I've never been to a barbecue place that has so much damn salt and their brisket. read more

Date of visit: Wednesday 12/21/22 quick and solid service. The food is on the more expensive side and the portions are smaller than expected when factoring the price but overall the food was good. The brisket and pulled pork were good. The Mac n cheese and beans were both on point. The cornbread was decent. The French fries were regular. The baby back ribs were pretty good. The seasonal treat: caramel bread pudding was also pretty good. read more

First- Great service, friendly staff, everyone looked like they were happy to be at work here. Second- the food was fantastic! Every bite from start to finish was a delight. Smokey, tangy, spicy flavors. We had the brisket, pulled pork, cucumber salad, beans, cornbread. Bella and TN and vinegar sauces. Every bite hit just right. read more

The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and courteous. I loved the theme of the restaurant dedication to our current and former military members! read more

I really enjoyed this meal. In the past I have been disappointed when ordering bbq cuisine (even from highly rated establishments), because the spare ribs have been so fatty, almost inedible. These ribs were fall off the bone, lean, juicy and full of flavor. The Mac n cheese and coleslaw were delicious too, really well prepared. I was a little upset because they ran out of potato salad, but it's just a good reason to try Misson BBQ again. My fiancé loved his pulled pork and brisket sandwiches, and he said that the bbq sauce was delicious. Give Misson BBQ a try! read more

I'm not a BBQ fan, and I understand it's a chain...but I love their smoked salmon. Probably one of the best places I've ever had it. Always moist and full of flavor. Truly seasoned to perfection! Plus it's only around 300cal per serving. Everywhere I go the staff is friendly and the restaurant is always clean. The bathrooms are well kept and I love the patriotic theme. He menu is huge with lots of selections and the classic sodas and pop give it that down home feel! read more

Not bad bbq. But also not amazing. Now I will admit that I was going to leave a 3 star. But the sides here are pretty dang good! Mac n cheese and their green beans are legendary! As for the proteins they could use a little more flavor. Chicken wasn't too flavorful and a little so I had to cover it in their bbq sauce (which weren't too bad). Their sweet tea is on point. And the inside was very nice and clean. Friendly staff as well! read more

Food was delicious and the atmosphere was friendly and pleasant . The service was great too

The food and service wasn't bad. The brisket was moist but no flavor. Had a little ring. For the price they're charging I got 5 little pieces. The cornbread was okay the beans I got one little piece of meat in it and they were a bit tangier than my taste prefers. The Mac and cheese wasn't too bad. If you are looking for just half decent bbq this is the place. I'm going to continue my search for great bbq. read more

My favorite chain BBQ joint by a long shot. Among the best BBQ joints I know. Hand-cut fresh French fries. . Many meat options to choose from. They need more desert options and more side choice options. But, I don't really care, I want the meat. They do a great job with the meat. read more

Food was perfect for this BBQ chain! Employees worked well together and had our delicious food out quickly. We enjoyed going through all the hot sauces in this casual setting. Definitely family friendly and still not too loud. We went during lunch rush on a Saturday and had no problems at all, definitely recommend trying Mission BBQ. Will be going again. read more

Always friendly and welcoming with a good variety of choices. Reasonable prices on par with others in area. Selection options are great and allow you to create an ample tasting of well prepared chicken, pork, beef. In keeping with every restaurant's economic struggles, portions seem to be smaller than last year. Appreciate any organization that pays tribute to first responders and our military! read more

So I will start by saying, this review turned from negative to positive thanks to Nick. I'll leave out the details but Nick walking from the other side of the store to assist at the register really changed my initial perception. He quickly took my order and made up for any inconvenience I could have encountered. I got two entree salads and sliced turkey and it was delicious. The house made Italian dressing is really good as well. As you can see from the pictures, the salad was huge! The restaurant was clean and well lit, the lemonade and ice tea was fresh and full. Would recommend and will return read more

TLDR: this is good bbq! not really good, or great, but solidly good. i would very likely eat here again. overall probably rate it closer to 3.5* if Yelp would ever get with the times and expand the ranking scale *ahem YELP* came in on a Mon night around 8 and it was pretty slow with a few tables and some to go orders being filled. they were out of the ribs and half chickens, and had 1 pc of salmon left, not too surprising considering they were closing within the hour. i ordered a 3 meat plate with 3 individual sides to go and will rate every item below. i will say the service was great, very friendly and prompt. the selection of sauces was pretty varied. the texas twang was my fav, tupelo honey heat was good but could've used a lot more heat, and the gator bite was the most unique, a burst of citrus in it, def not your typical bbq sauce. brisket: 1/5 simply put this wasn't good, yes i asked for lean but not overcooked steak/jerky texture, too many places get this wrong and it's usually a tell tale sign of a "chain" type bbq place. not hating, just being very objective, this wasn't good. jalapeno cheese sausage: 3.5/5, very good but not super juicy and a lot more lean than i was expecting, great flavor texture aside turkey breast: 4/5, VERY tender, but lacked smoke. best meat of the 3 i chose. bbq beans: 3/5 good not great, i did like the thicker consistency vs runny beans. collard greens: 2.5/5, i really liked it but it was far too mushy consistency wise, pretty good vinegary flavor though. green beans: 1/5 forgettable, wouldn't get again. not bad per se, just absolutely nothing stand out about it with its mushy texture and lackluster flavor. read more

I gave it five stars. Four for the food, the ambience and a fifth one for the amazing service, and Support for the ones who serve. I came here for a quick lunch, picked out my meal and meat at the counter, and then enjoyed a brisket sandwich with fries, add some of the various barbecue sauces on my sandwich, and was in heaven. I ended with a banana pudding. Really enjoyed my time there, and cannot speak enough about the customer service. read more
