    THE SECOND BONE & GRISTLE I found in the pulled pork!
    D B.

    Wife and I ordered 1lb. Of Pulled Pork and we each got 2 sides @ $44.00 very expensive in my opinion for the portion size... The BBQ In my opinion should have some Smoke flavor and a Smoke Ring this didn't... The Pork did Not taste like BBQ off of a Wood Smoker, more like pork that was cooked in a cooker on the stove top or in a crockpot. Look at this big piece of bone found (2) this size and gristle  that was hidden in the meat... disgusting - especially for the price‼ Not your good BBQ off of a wood fire pit... Like I cook at home on my Wood Stick Smokers! Not to mention the Bake Beans was bland and the French Fries was only lukewarm not HOT! Heck McDonald's can serve HOT fries! First time eating there 3/02/24 and the Last TIME!

    Prime rib, fries, Mac n cheese.

    Mission BBQ is a big chain. That makes the nerd in me sad, but that's also a very good thing. Food going mainstream is like music going mainstream. Good artists will be loved by the masses (and deserve to make a lot of money). I visited the Chattanooga location on a recent trip. It was love at first sight when I saw that they had prime rib on the menu. I ordered the prime rib, fries, mac-n-cheese, and a drink. I don't remember the price. The online menu doesn't show it. The answer though, is, "expensive" like everything these days (but appropriately priced). Prime rib was packed with flavor and incredible. I sampled all of the house-made barbecue sauces, and I enjoyed them all. Sides were very good and complemented the meal perfectly. Drink selection was amazing. I loved my meal at Mission BBQ, and I'm glad that there can be a location to greet me in other states.

    3 meat sampler, 2 sides, and caramel bread pudding.

    My boyfriend and I were driving through Tennessee on the way home to Canada. We wanted something that would give us a taste of Tennessee. That's exactly what this place did. The staff was fantastic, letting us know what was popular, that we could try the sides before we even decided on the rest of our meal. The atmosphere isn't like any typical barbecue restaurant, it tells a story of many. The food sampler we got gave us plenty to eat. The Mac and cheese was fantastic, the collard greens were delicious. The caramel bread pudding was an amazing way to end the meal. The best thing about this place is even though you order first they still come to check on you to make sure you don't need anything. Can't wait to visit again!

    If you come here get the half chicken I think its called the yard bird. It is seared on the outside and the inside is so moist and delicious. This may be the best chicken I have ever had. If you aren't here and are reading this, stop what you are doing and come get this chicken!! I promise you will love it.

    Ribs 4/5 Brisket 5/5 Pulled pork 4/5 Mac N Cheese 3/5 Ambiance is chill - military/public safety blend with some sports references thrown-in for good measure. They have all the good soft drinks in bottles. The DP with real sugar is truly the nectar of the gods.

    The good sauces

    Mission BBQ has been a chain that I have seen in several places over the last 2 years. I'm always up for BBQ but I did have concerns over portions from photos I have seen on Yelp. It turns out that fear was unfounded because I certainly had plenty to eat. At Mission BBQ, you order at the counter and your name is called to pick up your food. I went with the 3 meat platter. I chose spare ribs, pork, and brisket. For my sides, I went with mac and cheese and debated between potato salad and beans. I asked for a sample of potato salad and liked it at that time to order it. I always sample the sauces first with the type of bread I receive. Mission gives cornbread and has 7 sauces. A quick rundown: North Carolina Vinegar Mix'er, Kansas City - a bold tomato flavor, Bay-B-Que - definitely the worst and weirdest BBQ sauce I have ever had because it tastes like crab boil - I hated it, Tupelo Honey Heat - a spicy honey, Texas Twang - bold and made with Worcestershire sauce, Smoky Mountain - a sweet and smoky sauce is the only way to describe it, and my favorite was the Memphis Belle - a sweeter sauce with some smoke. After sampling the sauces, I tore into my spare ribs. I was given 2 for the meat platter. They were good but nothing spectacular. The brisket was definitely the best of the 3 meats I received. I choice the moist style. I didn't receive a part with bark on it but my brisket was juicy and delicious. The pork was better than the ribs and very tender. The NC vinegar mix'er went well with the pork and added some zest when mixed with other sauces. The mac and cheese was cheesy and homemade. It was a worthy side to get again. Remember how I wrote that at the time I liked my sample of potato salad? Well, my sample must not have had celery in it. I hate celery! The potato salad would have been a worthy addition if it wasn't for the celery. A description of it would be chunks of red potatoes with a chicken finger sauce and celery. Next time, I will pick the beans since they are made with brisket. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! There is army decor everywhere and I did my part of supporting our armed forces by eating at Mission BBQ. I will visit Mission again in the future. The 7 sauces make it an attractive venue for me. The BBQ is very good but I can't put it on leg-end-ary level. Good enough for a solid 4 star.

    I love this place. Their barbecue is amazing but also try their salmon, and their salads are so very fresh. I am craving it right now!

    I've never had CAVA before until this place opened here, and I wish this was here earlier. Where…read morehas this been all my life? I always opt to make my own bowl. I switch between different proteins because there's so many different options. I've picked the Harissa Chicken, Grilled Chicken, and Falafel. I like doing the half and half and each of those proteins were delicious. They were juicy and not dry. The veggies tasted fresh, the sauces and proteins were flavorful and so tasty. Also I love how we can choose up to three different dips. I pretty much go for most of the toppings except avocado. And also the dressings!! I mix it up every time and the combinations have worked pretty well together, in harmony with everything in my bowl. It's hard to pick a favorite veggie for me because each one is so good, but I'll always get the pickled onions and fire roasted corn. For me, I have no complaints whatsoever. I always describe this place as a Chipotle but Mediterranean. I always get takeout so I can't comment on the ambiance inside. But ordering online is fairly simple and straight forward. This is one of my favorite places in the area to go and get food. Oh and also the juices are great too. I always get the Cucumber Mint Lime because it hits every single time, but I'd like to try their other juices too. I can't wait until the next time I come back here. Love you CAVA!

    This was my first time visiting the brand-new CAVA here on Gunbarrel Rd, and my family and I…read moredecided to check it out for lunch. We were excited to try something fresh and healthy, and CAVA's Mediterranean flavors did not disappoint! I ordered the Harissa Avocado Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. The vibrant mix of flavors and colors made the bowl feel like a full experience - spicy harissa honey chicken paired with the bold hot harissa vinaigrette gave it just the right amount of kick. The Crazy Feta and hummus added a creamy balance, while the avocado, fire-roasted corn, pickled onions, Persian cucumber, and feta brought freshness and texture. All of it came together beautifully over basmati rice and SuperGreens. Every bite felt fresh, flavorful, and filling. For my drink, I went with a large cup of fresh lemonade, which was the perfect refreshing balance to the spice in my bowl. The service was quick and friendly, with the staff taking the time to walk us through the menu since it was our first visit. The ambiance is modern, bright, and welcoming - perfect for a casual family lunch but also a great spot if you're on the go. Fun fact: CAVA actually started in 2006 in Washington, D.C., and has grown into a nationwide favorite for healthy Mediterranean cuisine. They focus on fresh, customizable meals and even make many of their dressings and dips in-house! Overall, I'm so glad we gave this place a try. This new Gunbarrel location is a fantastic addition to the area, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying other bowls and pitas on the menu. Highly recommend!

I personally loved the styling. The first thing that draws the eye is the bar area with what I can only describe as a wall of whiskey. They display literally hundreds of bottles of liquor nearly to the very high ceiling, all tastefully presented and back lit so that warm amber is the predominate hue. Just striking. The entire place was very swank. I immediately felt under dressed , but in reality our attire was on a par with everyone else. The staff was outstanding. Our waiter, Caleb, couldn't have been more genial and attentive. He took the time to explain the menu and highlight the specials. Very good at his job. I ordered Philadelphia Roll with Miso Soup. My wife had the Bluegrass Chicken which made her eyes roll with pleasure. She gave me a taste, and it was, indeed, great. My Sushi was fresh and outstanding. We shared a very good salad. Just first rate fare. Price wise, this is among the more expensive places, but well worth it. Quality costs, right? This will have to be one of our special places when we don't mind splurging a bit. No issues with accessibility with my wheel chair. Spacious, and, as I said, so tastefully appointed. Payment was a breeze with the handy WR code. Highly recommended.
