Stopped in for a quick dinner and immediately the aroma tells you the place is legit. They've got a six pack of table sauces - Smoky Mountain was probably my favorite but the side option of Georgia Mustard on the pulled chicken was fantastic. Tasty sides (a good cheese pull on the mac and chunks of brisket in the baked beans) added to the meal. Solid vibes of patriotism, support for public safety professionals and Americana throughout. Definitely plan to return ! read more

Mission BBQ is a really sweet place to stop for BBQ. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the manager even came by to say hello! Great options for different meats and sides available. We came in during Sunday lunch, and everything came out quickly. They have 6 BBQ sauces available at each table. Definitely worth the stop! read more

This place wow-ed me upon setting one foot in the door. I was immediately greeted by the entire staff with a friendly and genuine welcoming hello. My pick up order was ready besides my fries... BECAUSE they cook them fresh on arrival! They show you everything confirming the order upon packing it for you. Everyone was so kind to help explain each and every sauce. After to which I said "give me them all or whatever you think is best". I've never been to a BBQ place where I liked every sauce and every sauce was fantastic. Meat was moist and every side perfection. The ambiance is incredible expressing deep appreciation for veterans. I was even thanked by the manager or owner? On the way out the door. This place embodies positivity and quality. Plus, I adore our veterans. I write this review eating because I couldn't wait to post! read more

Great atmosphere, juicy food, and excellent service. The employees Thomas and Nate were very friendly. Since it was our first time here, they even gave us some apple cobbler on the house. read more

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! read more

The sides are all sooo good! I didn't even try the meat but my husband said his ribs and brisket were very good! Lots of sauces to choose from. 10/10! read more

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. read more

Greeted by the entire staff when entering the building. Love the ambiance of all the place. Staff were very kind, and made great suggestions with their new menu items. The food was so flavorful and great portion sizes. Love the Smokey mountain bbq they offer on the table along with 5 other options. We were treated to complementary Carmel bread puddings which was so sweet, in couldn't put my fork down. Look forward to coming back. read more

Wow! Some of the best service I have had in a long time! Everyone is so friendly and exceptional at explaining the menu and options. The food was super yummy! I have never been to one before and wish we had one closer to us in PA! read more

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! read more

First night in Chattanooga, TN and we were welcomed with the full southern charm at Mission BBQ!! They had us at first bite and then the manager, Frankie, came by and introduced himself. Once he found out we were first time visitors to Mission BBQ he made us fans with his kindness and complimentary Peach cobbler! Delicious!! The restaurant was clean and decor supported our brave veterans! We will be sure to visit a Mission BBQ wherever we find one! Don't miss this location! read more

I visited Mission today after about a year of not going. Some work colleagues came into town and asked where we could meet for some good bbq. Service was great, but the general consensus was the bbq was good, but overpriced for the amount of food you get. Brisket and pork (it may have been 3oz each, if that), some fries, and a water cost me a little over $17. I don't think I'll be asked next time for my suggestion of where to meet, when the team comes back in town. Good bbq has always been difficult to find in Chattanooga and that seems to still be the case. read more

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. read more

Ordered : Ribs- salty but good flavor and fall off the bone Brisket - asked for a mixture of moist and lean was given fatty pieces and the only thing that was seasoned was the edges Jalapeño sausage- good Mac and cheese- taste like oil Green beans- ok, not seasoned at all Fresh cut fries - a bit overcooked Tea- excellent I am from Texas and know what good BBQ is and Mission I would say missed the mark. read more

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. read more

Great food with many choices! Honors the military family, great decor in the restaurant (special parking spots in front for veterans. My only concern (if you have read my previous reviews you know this is huge for me) is 'no military discount, especially here. With all the memorabilia, special parking spots and motif, nothing really for the military personnel. 5 stars with this addition. Would still recommend for the taste. read more

Stopping in for Dinner tonight, waited in line for 15 minutes only to find out that they have no baby back ribs. How does a BBQ restaurant run out of ribs? I've been in the foodservice business for 25 years and never heard of a BBQ restaurant out of ribs at 7:30 at night. read more

Grate costumer service. The chicken absolutely SLAPS! I like all the photos on the wall, so much so I may ask for one to be put up of me10/10 read more

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. read more

Awesome people Samples offered Patriotic business Oh the food. My first visit I was supposed to be meeting my daughter for lunch at a near by burger joint. While waiting I kept smelling this wonderful smell. When she arrived I told her to get a burger if she wanted but I was going to try Mission. read more

We absolutely love this spot!! The food is amazing, quick and consistent. The cornbread.... On my goodness, the cornbread! It's just like my mom's, sweet and moist. And it comes with your meal automatically. Score! The decor. We strongly support our military and first responders and it's totally awesome that Mission Barbecue does as well! All of the decor reflects that support. That alone would make me refer others to this location, but it's a huge plus that the food is just so good! The brisket is perfect, ribs are great, the 6 pack of sauces plus hot sauce to flavor the meats, slaw is minus onions which I love, baked beans tasty.... Seriously. Give this cool spot a chance people!! read more

Extremely friendly staff. My family and I have been commuting from Knoxville to see my sister in the hospital a few blocks away and the GM, Frankie Peel, and his staff have taken exceptional care of us. We will make it a point to stop in anytime we pass through. The food was awesome too, I especially liked the sweet potato pie and smoked turkey. They've also got a sauce that is old bay based which was weird but wonderful. read more

I love this place - we regularly drive 30 minutes to get there . The BBQ is good - especially the brisket . Fries are great/ I don't much care fir their baked beans but everyone with me loves them, so must j just be me. The atmosphere here is pro military, pro veteran, and pro America - I think it's terrific. Great service in addition to the food. I'll be back weekly. read more

Overall great. The service is fabulous and the workers actually look happy and like they're taken care of and enjoy working there. They go above and beyond to make sure you're happy. I saw a elderly veteran give a tip to the workers and in return they gave him something (I was distracted by my kids so I didn't see what they gave him.) I've been 3 times now with my kids and my kids devour the kids ribs, the French fries are excellent, and I quite enjoy my pulled pork NC style sandwich. The sandwich is a large size and fries are portioned generously. They have a lot of yummy sauces to choose from at the table. Our fav is the Smoky Mountain sauce. I tried the cheesy potatoes as a side today and they were good! A lot of happy faces of veterans, law enforcement, construction workers, hard working men were eating lunch today during our visit. Overall the vibe in this place is happy, positive, clean, service oriented and great. 10/10 recommend that you come here and enjoy the food and support this establishment. read more

They had a "smoked juicy lucy" burger on the menu so I gave it a try. Very good burger & as usual, the fries were amazing. I noticed that I never saw or tasted cheese in the burger & mentioned to the gentleman who came by to pick up our trays. He insisted on making up for that & brought me some brisket to take home. THAT was totally unnecessary but left a huge impression, amazing customer service is hard to find anymore but Mission understands it. Thank you Jimmy, well done sir! read more

Good place for great food and awesome service! This place does it right. They truly care about their customers and the food is delish! Very friendly, patriotic crew. It's a must go every time we're in Chattanooga. read more

The atmosphere was neat. The food was barely warm and just ok. Not really worth the $$.

Go to place for lunch. Great food. Amazing customer service decently priced for bbq. Great decor

My first time visiting Mission BBQ was tonight. I ordered takeout, and the service and food was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and the ambience was great. I would like to bring the family back to enjoy the full experience at the restaurant. We used to have a favorite BBQ place closer to home, but Mission BBQ just took first place with us. I highly recommend the marinated brisket, the KC BBQ sauce and Carolina Vinegar. Take your family and friends. You will really enjoy it. read more

The Texas-inspired, oak smoked brisket makes it worth the trip to Mission BBQ on Gunbarrel Road. The servers and staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is thoughtful and patriotic. The baked beans, with brisket, and the green beans, with bacon, are my two, favorite sides. The cornbread is sweet and complements the hardy food. Ask for the "Nashville Hot Sauce" to pour on your baked beans. If you are a first responder, bring your agency patch and donate for display it on the wall. read more

Hands down one of the best chain BBQ restaurants around. I have eaten in the restaurant and at events where Mission catered. Each time very good food.

So I went here because everyone raves about this place! My verdict is ....just ok. The meat isn't enough, the sides are pitiful and the only saving grace is the cornbread. Service is just ok. Everyone is behind the counter. I would say this place is for people with an AARP membership. read more

A great representation of the franchise. The meats were flavorful and their sauce selection is excellent. They make my favorite version of Alabama White Sauce. Since it has to be refrigerated you have to ask for it. Service was good and the interior was clean and the décor being on par with the other stores. They also have a small covered patio of outdoor dining. read more

3 star because of great customer service and amazing meat loaf. Other than that, it is very important that the person taking the order to understand the customer's requirements. Brisket, that's another whole story on how burnt and dry they were. I am no bbq expert but juiciness is what is missing. read more

Excellent BBQ and a great atmosphere. Mission BBQ is a military themed restaurant that caters well to all military and first responders in the area. Their food is excellent, I've enjoyed every meal I've had with them. From their brisket and pulled pork to their desserts. My favorite sides by far are the Mac and cheese and the Cole slaw. read more

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!

Samples!!! We strolled in after three softball games to find out they had #burntends. After choosing those, turkey, and brisket. Then adding sweet potato mash, greens, and cheesy potatoes (and two drinks) we faced the bill. $21!!! So much food we left with some of everything for the post game sitdown. Brandon and the crew provide awesome service. The atmosphere was festive. Conversation spilled from table to table. Veterans get special treatment in this spot. They do it well at Mission. See ya next time... read more
