Stopped in for lunch to try brisket. I ordered a brisket sandwich and a small drink. I was pleasantly surprised how good the brisket was. Huge portion of meat spilling out of the bun. A real handful of a sandwich...And better yet, it was juicy, flavorful, and tender. Nice job! I consider myself a brisket connoisseur since I use to travel to Houston, TX quite frequently and have been to many great bbq places there. Mission BBQ does a good job on their brisket but not as spicy as in Texas. The service was fast and friendly and I am a huge supporter of our military. Love what they stand for. I will be back for more... read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Got the three meat sampler with brisket, pork and baby back ribs. All the meat was very good. Tried all the sauces and liked most of them. Tip could be if you wanted to try ribs, you can get a two or three meat platter with everything but ribs and then get 1 baby back and 1 spare rib. This is because if you use one of the meats on the platter for ribs, you only get two ribs and its a little more expensive than buying them Ala carte. Friendly southern service. read more

Best brisket!! Stopped here for lunch during our visit to the area. Clean, friendly staff and loved the dedication to our military and first responders. read more

I truly didn't think great customer service existed anymore. Peyton went above and beyond. She was kind and happy to help. The food was phenomenal, and the restaurant as a whole has a great atmosphere. I'll be back again and again, Peyton's assistance made my whole day. read more

Good BBQ, good sides. Have eaten here multiple times. Friendly staff, clean and nice atmosphere.

After seeing a few negative reviews, I was honestly really pleasantly surprised by this place! Staff was helpful and friendly, and by the time we sat at the table with the drinks, I probably sat for 30 seconds before I heard our names called. The staff told me that all of their food, bbq sauce, and dressings are homemade. Each table has 6 bbq sauce flavor options, with a description of its flavor on the holder. My favorite part of my meal was the side of Mac n cheese, it was very oooey gooey (with baked crunchiness on top) good! The French fries were fresh and crispy, although I would have liked slightly more seasoning. The pulled chicken sandwich was better than the brisket, but that may be because I went for the lean vs moist. Next time I might try the moist brisket or a combo of the two. In summary, I would say this is an awesome quick eats option. Give it a try, I will be back! read more

Great food! Not a super long wait and lots of variety. Loved the variety of sauces, the sweet tea, the fries, and the pork. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good Tennessee BBQ. read more

Lunch was delivered to our business today and the display was awesome. Everything was amazing. green beans and baked beans were seasoned perfectly. The chicken, pulled pork and brisket all had their own individual flavors all great. We will definitely be ordering from you again. read more

I discovered Mission BBQ some months ago while traveling for work. I have visited a few of the restaurants in Florida & Indiana and was pleasantly surprised to find a new one opened in Chattanooga, TN. I'm a keen fan of smoked brisket (their moist brisket is the best!) and their jalapeño cheddar sausage (amazingly delicious!) Today's dining experience was equally as excellent as always P.S. If the smoked ribeye is the black plate special of the day, do not skip it!! Edit: as a comparison, IMO, Mission BBQ has Famous Dave's beat on brisket (particularly the moist, fatty brisket); though the Mission BBQ spare ribs aren't quite as good as Famous Dave's. I haven't had Famous Dave's sausage but I have been incredibly impressed with how good the Mission BBQ's jalapeño cheddar sausage is read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I'm a big bbq fan and a pretty critical diner. Yes, you have to eat to fill your belly. But why not enjoy the journey? When my mom wanted to take me to a Mission BBQ in Florida, I was skeptical. They're not a franchise. But they are a chain. Could they get bbq right at a chain restaurant? Yes. Yes, they can. While Mission BBQ may not be the best bbq you'll put in your mouth, it's consistently a high-quality experience. I've been to this location so many times they know me be name. The staff is friendly/kind and I consider myself a raving fan. I've only ever gotten their moist brisket. (When they ask if you want moist or lean, go for moist). I always get mac 'n cheese and an extra corn bread. (Their cornbread is sweet and fantastic). If you're there at noon, be ready to stand for the national anthem! read more

I was meeting a friend near Hamilton Place and wanted to try something new, so he suggested Mission BBQ. The place is decorated in a military theme, and since my friend was a marine, it was great. You place your order at the counter, give them your name, get a cup for your drink and wait for your name to be called. The first thing I noticed was that they didn't have a section called plates. You chose your meat or sandwich and then looking around on the menu (we picked up a paper one at the door) I saw that you could order a combo with one side or a combo with two sides. I ordered pork with a combo, one side of beans and a drink. I did not order a sandwich, I never order sandwiches at a BBQ place. When they called my name, there was a pork sandwich. In looking at the paper menu, it looked like you could just order a meat and then order a combo. But looking at the photo I took of the menu above the counter, the combo is hanging under the sandwiches. So maybe at this location you can't get a pork plate? A combo means a sandwich? When my friend picked up his sandwich (he did order a sandwich), there were no fries. They told him they were cooking. They brought them out to him shortly. Then after we'd been eating about 15 minutes, someone else brought him some more fries, which he didn't take. The pork was good, there was nice big smoke ring. The beans were good, nice and sweet. The fries were really good. We were there at noon and they played the National Anthem and everyone stood. I hadn't heard about this, so it was a complete surprise. I had just taken a bite of pork and I couldn't decide if I should continue to chew it, or just stand there with it in my mouth. I'm not sure what's the proper etiquette! read more

This was by far the best bbq restaurant experience. Food was fresh, delicious, and very flavorful. Staff was welcoming and extremely kind. We will lost definitely be back again soon! Thank you so much! read more

This place is fantastic. Let me start with the service. They were extremely kind and accommodating. Maybe it's just because Tennessee on the whole has friendly polite people, but they were just that. Polite, friendly, and ensuring we were accommodated. Ambiance of the entire place is really cool. It's extremely pro American, military, and law enforcement. It was nice to see that for a change as it seems stylish to be contrary to that today. The decor is full of patches, and military memorabilia. It was a comfortable place to eat to be sure. As for the food, it was delicious. They were definitely NOT cheap with the pulled pork sandwich. It was piled high, unlike other famous BBQ places in Tennessee. Their Mac and Cheese and Beans were really good as was the ribs. They have 6 different sauces available at the table so there's a little something for everyone's taste. Oh, as for desert, it's apparently seasonal but their banana pudding is absolutely delicious. Anyways, give it a go if you're in the area and are in the mood for BBQ with workers that were kind and helpful. You will not be disappointed. read more

Oh my. THE best pulled pork I have ever had, no contest, even compared to Texas, where I live. So tender, flavorful and very generous positions. Friendly, efficient service, immaculate everywhere, just excellent over all! I love that they honor our veterans. read more

Wife and I were running errands and stopped in for lunch. We had never been there before so they went through the menu for us and offered us samples. Lisa had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the brisket and the sausage. The food was great. We loved every bit of it. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Always great food and service! Highly recommended. They have great bbq and sides!!!!!

I have been here many times, so I think a review is overdue. You know you are in a good place when by simply opening the door you are just hit with flavors and bbq aromas! I have enjoyed coming to this place ever since it opened. The staff members are friendly and welcoming, always having a smile on their face and providing excellent customer service. During my recent visit I tasted the pull chicken sandwich with a side of mac and cheese (which, combined with the Tupelo Honey Heat, is a whole new world of flavors). There was an overwhelming amount of meat on the sandwich which I am definitely not complaining about. The sandwich paired with the different sauces was tasty, and the mac and cheese was excellent! If you are looking for some great BBQ at a location that offers great service, then look no further than Mission BBQ. read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled Chicken Sandwich w/ Mac & Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The service wasn't great and everything was extra priced. It's good BBQ but I won't be back because I feel like at this price point they should come to your table and have a waiter staff. But the food was really good. The staff was not. read more

Delicious. Patriotic. BA. Brisket is juicy, like it's supposed to be. Sauces are fantastic too! Wishing we bought more to go. read more

Looked for a good BBQ joint in Chattanooga and found this place. Very clean, spacious and great food. I had the 1/2lb brisket, potato and green beans and it was excellent. I really appreciate this company's devotion to building a theme around soluting veterans at all of their locations. Kudos to them for churning out good food and supporting what I feel are often undervalued service men and women. read more

Great food, the restaurant is super cool with a nice vibe. Our food came out super quick and all the employees were super nice. Would 100% recommend!!! read more

One of the most consistently good chain restaurants in the area. As far as BBQ goes they are best if the chain restaurants I've tried. So many other chain restaurants saw service and quality slip since the pandemic started but, not Mission. Alway happy with my food and the service I've received. Keep up the good work. read more

Massive fan of Mission. I love going to the restaurant, getting catering from them, giving gift cards, all of it. Their jalapeño sausage, it hits just right. Solid brisket, and their sides don't disappoint. Great selection of sauces, so you can get a mix that fits every BBQ fan's palate. Consistent quality that delivers. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and were very impressed. Counter service was quick and friendly. I ordered a turkey plate, and the turkey was fork tender, delicious and I got a huge portion. If you're dining with kids, it's enough for you and two children. My husband got a turkey sandwich, and it had an enormous portion of turkey. My side salad was big and delicious, but oddly the portion of baked beans was tiny. His fries were so-so. For a quick dinner that is good and reasonably healthy, this is the place to go! (And I'll be ordering my Thanksgiving turkey from them from now on.) read more

This is the best bbq ever! Excellent flavor! Portions on parchment paper on a tray which reminded me of the famous Black Jacks in Austin TX! Turns out it was inspired by Texas! An array of sauces that were all amazing are sure to please just about anyone! Cornbread that came with the brisket meal was so delicious! Mac n cheese was great too! Clean and friendly. Can't wait to come back with the rest of Definitely recommend!! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

My family LOVES Mission BBQ! It is delicious! Our favorite things is the Smoked turkey plates (best turkey I've ever had, period! :), I absolutely love the green beans (they are so flavorful with the bacon pieces and onion makes them so savory and delicious! I also loved the potato salad, it tastes like it's made with maybe a spicy brown mustard or the like, with diced celery, super good! The sweet corn bread is also delicious!! The staff is extreme kind, courteous, helpful and professional. Lastly, we must say one of our favorite parts of the whole place is all their patriotic decor everywhere. We love that they support our military and local civil servants and that each day they do the National Anthem at noon and everyone stops what they're doing to look at the flag and place a hand over their heart. What a unique and neat place! We will absolutely be back! Thank you Mission BBQ! read more

WOW -- speechless as to how amazing, professional & courteous the staff & manager was. We are visiting from New Jersey & found Mission BBQ on Yelp rated high so we decided to give it a try. We learned that none of their meats are frozen & all smoked in-house perfectly for hours. They have an outdoor smoker as well which is specifically used for the brisket which I highly recommend as it was melt in your mouth perfect! We got a bunch of sauces on the side but honestly the meats were cooked so perfectly that none of them were even needed -- all great don't get me wrong!! My favorite out of the pulled chicken, brisket, ribs & sausage would have to be the ribs -- not only were they generously sized they were fall off the bone perfect! All of the seasonings for the brisket & ribs were in-house secrets but the proportions were absolutely incredible. I also want to shout out their manager Stacey who went above & beyond to not only explain everything but also gave us the warmest welcome when we walked through the door. We were so in love with all of the meat & sides -- cannot wait to come back & dine with y'all soon!! read more

Great experience. This is a chain restaurant but has a local feel. Brisket was really great! Service was friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

Arguably one of the best chain BBQ places in the US. Consistently great tasting meat, both the brisket and pulled chicken are amazing. Their BBQ sauces are also distinctly different and extremely tasty. I highly recommend any one of thes you go to. This one specifically though was great. Well-cleaned and all their lids/straws were always kept stocked. I highly recommend! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Food is average, service is production line, ambience is gas station...Memphis Belle sandwich. Nothing special here.

We stumbled upon this place after spending a rainy morning at Hamilton Place Mall. We were offered free samples of anything off the menu to help up make up our minds - a very nice touch for first-time visitors. Son enjoyed a pulled chicken sandwich with french fries...hand cut and very fresh and tasty. The chicken was tender and had a hearty portion. I chose the brisket plate and it was some of the most tender, flavorful brisket I had ever had! We loved the Memphis Belle sauce but they offer six varieties at each table so you can customize your own. Extemely friendly service - will definitely come again next time we are in the area! read more

Just left this place and it was fantastic. Food, staff, cleanliness 10/10. Best BBQ I've had in recent memory and the staff made it a point to make sure we had what we needed. Definitely visit! read more

First time visit. Good selection of meats. I pride myself as an expert on smoking and eating good quality pork BBQ. Some of the very best pulled pork BBQ comes off of my own cooker! So I selected the beef brisket to try. Cashier self-service person asked me if I wanted moist or dry brisket! Lol. I guess they don't understand how to explain the different sections of a full brisket! So played along and picked the moist section. I also selected a side of collard greens and mac and cheese. The greens were average and I could have passed on the m&c. The side of cornbread was about average for that normally over baked dry stuff. However the brisket was very good. Portion for a half pound serving seemed small. They have a great selection of six different house made sauces. Everyone should find one they like. Also ordered a peach cobbler. I've had better frozen stuff years ago that I would not even considering buying today. Pass on peach cobbler. I judge BBQ joints on not only the meats they serve but also the sides and deserts as well. Offering draft beer is also a nice extra, but never reflects on my opinion of the BBQ. I give them high score on the meets and sauces, and low marks on their sides and deserts. If I had ordered a BBQ sandwich with side of fries and a drink, I would give high marks. But I did not. Overall this is an OK place, but not outstanding. read more

Great food and fast delivery Very nice employees. Fantastic barbecue Great prices and choices also you can order online and pick it up!
