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

Very Good BBQ and great atmosphere. Good proportions and 6 different sauces to pick from. My only complaint are the labels on the sauces, very hard to read as to what is in each bottle. read more

We've been here several times and each time the quality of food and service is the same. Food is good, comes out quick and the customer service goes above and beyond. They usually have someone that talks to the different tables to make sure they have everything and how their meal is going, this is highly unusual for a quick-service place. The hubby and I like to get the lean brisket sandwich and we get 3 sides. Then we split it. Our favorite sides are the macaroni and cheese and potato salad. The mac and cheese is baked and has a yummy crispy cheese on top. The potato salad dressing tasty and they use red potatoes with celery and onion which makes for a great texture. The brisket is so flavorful and we also use the Texas Twang sauce. You have the option of 6 different bbq sauces but you really could eat the bbq without them. The theme is patriotic and in support of law enforcement. This, for me, adds another level of why I go here as well. read more

I'm a big fan. But yesterday i called in my order to pick up at 4, gave them an hour to get it together. Got there, nothing ready and waited 15 minutes to dish it up. 5 pounds of chicken and some Mac and cheese for a hundred bucks. Okay...fine if it usual quality. It wasn't. Hoping just some rust in the kitchen. read more

I ate there 4 times this week, each time thimking the brisket would be hot.... very disappointed. The lady told me that sometimes they cut the meat and it loses its temperature. I'm thinking theyre in the food service industry and need to remedy that problem. $8 per lunch.. for room temperature mest. The green beans are always hot, and they taste good. The brisket was average on flavor alot of fat on it as they weigh each portion. That was my last visit. read more

ission barbeque was a great find. They serve uo meat shots during the day. I had a brisket, which can make your mouth water. The pulled chicken sandwich with their Memphis barbeque sauce was a great combo. My wife had a classic salad with smoke Turkey, needless to say it was great. The chicken sliders my boys had was also good. For one side that we had, the strawberry shortcake was awesome. We will come back when we are in the area. read more

Went to Mission bbq with my wife. I had the brisket and she had the chicken on the black plate special. Staff was courteous and professional but the food left a lot to be desired. The brisket was good but somewhat overcooked. They either cooked it too long or kept it around for too long. My wife's chicken was extremely dry. It was definitely cooked way too long. We went to Mission bbq in Connecticut and it was great. I know that the meat has to be in a smoker but they have to keep it from drying out or petrifying. Pretty sad to get beat out by a bunch of yankees. read more

Faux bravado. Purchased over $100.00 of food for family birthday party. When I paid I put my retired military ID with my credit card which was handed right back to me. They do not honor retired military. Further insult was walking around looking at all of the photos, and being retired Coast Guard I was looking for something from my branch. Nothing there. How fake can you get? read more

Had this for lunch last week catered by work. I was very impressed!! I don't eat much meat anymore but this meat very flavorful and juicy. They also provided various BBQ sauces to add; I went with the Memphis style. They also provided chips, slaw, and salad. I personally made myself some nachos with the supplies. Oh and the chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and lemonade were really good too! I did hear a friend who actually ate there that the portions are on the smaller side. I plan to check out their actual restaurant sometime soon to get the full experience but the catered lunch definitely made me want more! read more

I ordered a large order and it didn't take long at all. Not only was the staff fantastic but so was the food!!! I could RAVE about their green beans all day long. We got a little bit of everything and nothing was disappointing. 10/10 would recommend. ALSO they did not skimp when I asked for extra BBQ sauce! read more

Food is great! Service from Cashier 0, Ambiance is very good! We were there on Tuesday @ 11:30 1/24/23 love this place especially the food. Cashier should be fired! read more

The best bbq chicken that I've ever had!!! I didn't even need any sauce...it was cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and just right!!! I will be going back soon!!! read more

I would have to say this is THE best BBQ joint I've been to. The Brisket was so soft and juicy, the baked cheesy potatoes were divine, the green beans were ok and the cornbread was soft and moist. Ribs fell off the bone. Slider was perfect size for my daughter, pulled pork was tender and juicy. Everything was cooked to perfection. They have 6 tasty BBQ sauce choices that are also very good. On top of good flavor the atmosphere leaves a sense of pride in your soul for our great nation and the people who serve to protect us. US. I will definitely give them more business. read more

If I said this restaurant and staff are the best ever, I would be understating just how great they really are. The ribs were the best l have had in years. The sides were great, Mac & cheese was outstanding and the coleslaw was really good. They support our troops and first responders and respect veterans from past campaigns. I was so warmly greeted I can't tell you what a great feeling I had. This place is a must visit! read more

OUTSTANDING!! The food is amazing..great BBQ pork & out of this world fries & best baked brisket beans ever! LOVE the patriotic.veteran theme, A place for patriots to enjoy!! Will be back SOON!! read more

So Mission is a chain I first encountered while on a work trip in Florida. After that, I seem to run into them everywhere except home (open a location in Atlanta, please). Mission BBQ has a very patriotic theme, at noon everyone stands for the national anthem. Each restaurant has a tribute to military and first responders. Which is pretty cool. John's quick tips 1) The servings are pretty generous, they have everything from vegetables to fish to your more traditional chicken and pork. 2) Although it's a chain, the bbq is still very good. 3) they have six different types of sauce, representing different bbq styles. Be sure to sample them all before making your decision, read more

So I go there for lunch. Nice place. Food is mediocre at best. They make a big deal of Service members/Vets, first responders and LEOs, but no discount, want you to go online and give your info. ??? Service however was with a big smile. Will i go back? Dont know, maybe I should try some thing else there. read more

Ok guys... you really missed the mark on you Brisket... burned, dry and tasteless sandwich. I wasn't crazy about the bun either! Traded my Brisket for plain chopped BBQ which was better. The fries were good and I liked the various sauces. The white BBQ sauce I recommend for the pulled pork. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We were greeted by a very friendly and helpful cashier when we walked up and this set the tone for service. Everyone was helpful, not just friendly, helpful telling about the restaurant and products. I had a pulled pork sandwich and it was very tasty. There were a variety of sauces on the table to try and they said they made everything in-house. Tasty sauces. It's a concept restaurant that still makes you feel like you're in a hometown place rather than a nondescript. The food was delicious, service was great. read more

Had lunch here two times. First time I tried the brisket (wet) and the BBQ chicken with the peach cobbler as a side. The second time I tried the pork plate with a sweet potato and the green beans with bacon. Each serving of meat was enough for me and my daughter to share and they tasted absolutely wonderful!! (I prefer the chicken over the pork and the green beans were my favorite) The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere was very laid back and comfortable. They even have a few tables outside with umbrellas to sit under. If you keep your cup you can bring it back for .99 cent refills. And at noon everyday they ask everyone to stand and sing the national anthem. Very impressed!! read more

Mission BBQ - At noon everyday they get everyone to stand to Sing the national anthem - pretty cool - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Consistently good. We like the smoked turkey, Mac and cheese and the fries. That's what keeps us coming back. Our favorite sauces are Nashville Hot, Smokey Mountain, and the vinegar sauce. We usually eat a little of every sauce while we are there. Like the atmosphere, it's clean looking and they always ask how everything was before we leave. read more

I normally am not a fan of chain restaurants ESPECIALLY BBQ. I am extremely picky about BBQ, but this is really good. The true test is whether it needs sauce or not. Good BBQ doesn't need sauce. It passed the test and has the Heather stamp of approval. read more

We've been wanting to try out Mission - since we met their team and truck at the kids Truck Day at the park. Finally got in for an early dinner. The service was wonderful - Simone took care of us, explained everything, came over to our table to talk with us and welcomed us for our first visit. We'd come back just to see her again! BBQ was perfect. They offer a large selection for those that are gluten free as well. We enjoyed the brisket with cole slaw, kids had the sliders and fries and of course a big brownie. Excited to visit again soon! read more

We were visiting Chattanooga and looking for a family friendly place to eat. We had eaten at the Mission BBQ in Nashville and really liked it, so we decided to give this one a try. It was very good. Between the four of us, we had brisket, turkey, and the jalapeño and cheddar sausage. They were all delicious and perfectly cooked. The sides were good too. They have a ton of different sauces to try. We each had our favorite. What made it even better were the employees. They were all so nice and helpful. Our youngest wasn't sure what he wanted so they let him sample the meat so he could decide. The restaurant is big so it's easy to social distance. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

Love this place! We went after church when most restaurants are crazy busy. Though the line was long it moved quickly and the food came out really fast. The food is awesome and the decor and veteran support is top notch. I can't believe how many things they got right! We will be back. read more

This was me and E's first time trying this place, unfortunately it's not any this special to write home about. Well the ribs are cooked tender they lacked a good flavor, That goes for all the different sauce options they have, yes 7 flavors we tried. Mac & cheese and baked beans and the sides we had, they have good flavor but again did not leave is wanting more. Cornbread on the other hand we both enjoyed, I found it to have a perfect amount of sweetness and a good texture. Our go to barbecue is at sticky fingers and jack's barbecue in Kansas City. read more

OH let this Texas girl tell ya about some good BBQ, cause I KNOW what it taste like and this place has got the goods! I was VERY skeptical because EVERY SINGLE bbq restaurant in this area has let me down so badly I had about given up. In fact I almost tried to convince my husband to go to Bad Daddy's next door because we have been there before and we know we like it. We walked in and were greeted by some lovely friendly people they said I could try to brisket before I ordered which was important to me because online they claimed it was Texas inspired. Well I was NOT disappointed. Just order you some extra moist with the burnt ends and it taste so close to home ya'll. My son was being difficult and decided he wanted Mac and cheese on top of turkey which I told him they didn't do but the lady cutting the meat in the back pipes up and said "I can make that happen for his" and she did 5-stars for her alone I didn't catch her name but she was wonderful. The Mac and cheese was just like you get at a family gathering and my husband loved all the sauce options. Last but absolutely not least is the Carmel apple cobbler it was just heaven on a spoon! They have up front veterans parking which is just a beautiful way to respect those that have fought hard for our country. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I will tell everyone about it and be back as often as possible. read more

Ok BBQ place...nice theme restaurant. Food was very good except the helping are very small.

Mission BBQ was everything I was hoping it would be and the some. Everything is Tender and BBQ'd to perfection. Friendly Staff and Very Clean Environment read more

I have eaten at multiple Mission BBQ's and this one is like all the others - great! We were passing through Chattanooga and made a point to stop, and I'm glad we did. Chicken was great, green beans and fries were tasty. One of the ladies at the front gave me a side of chocolate pudding as a birthday gift. read more

Tender meat. Wonderful choice of all kinds of sauce. Friendly attentive employees. Cobbler dessert was just the right amount of sweetness.

There are a lot of BBQ restaurants in Chattanooga and we have probably been to most. Mission BBQ has currently moved into one of my top choices. Love their brisket...so many choices...wet or dry (amount of fat) and how you want it sliced. Lots of great choices to satisfy your BBQ craving...love their side choices. If you like brunt ends like I do...just ask, not on the menu but they are available. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. You order at the counter and they all your name to pick up your food; however, there is always staff roaming the dining area to help and keep the tables clean! A great restaurant to support...support them and support veterans. Will be back again and again! read more

Is this the best BBQ joint in Chattanooga? Great brisket, awesome sauce selection, and the staff were on their game!

Was a great place! Awesome food! Only complaint is they are so into military and veterans they don't give any discounts Why is that?.

I enjoyed the food, however you don't seem to get a big portion of anything. The price you pay compaired to the food you receive is a little disappointing. And the lady didn't really explain much of anything to us when we told her that it was our first time in. I didn't mind the atmosphere. I would recommend giving the bbq a try for sure, but don't come super hungry for sure! Overall still a good experience. read more

Wow! Is all I can say. Catered a lunch for 30 people for an internal business meeting, and the food and service were a hit. Particularly popular were the chopped beef brisket - YUM! and the decadent Mac & Cheese! The cole slaw topped the sliders off perfectly, and who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies that taste better than homemade and brownies! The catering manager, Bobby Sue Cole was first-class; and the staff at the store know how to answer a phone and have a professional, friendly conversation! Mission BBQ completed this mission! Highly recommended. We'll be back! read more

I tried this place about a month ago and every time I am in the area, I stop and pick up something there. On my first visit, they had Jalapeno cheese sausage. I asked about how much heat it had. They gave me a sample, I loved it and I always get it and the BBQ pork. For sides, I have coleslaw and baked beans. The coleslaw is good and the baked beans are amazing. The pork is good, but the jalapeno cheese sausage is amazing.; I always have it to go. I have not eaten in the restaurant. They have a wide selection of BBQ sauces, I have tried the vinegar, mustard, and KC style sauce. I have not eaten their other selections, and there's a good selection. Prices are reasonable and the staff is fabulous. If you like BBQ this is a place you have to try. read more

I just went here for the first time so I'm only reviewing one experience. I was immediately greeted from across the restaurant by the lady working the register. I explained it was my first time visiting a mission bbq and asked how it worked and she explained and gave me the specials. Food came out fast. Dining are was clean. Staff came by to check on us and even fetched some ketchup for my fries. I ordered the brisket. It was a tad dry but overall pretty good. They have 6 sauces on the table and I get the feeling the meats aren't seasoned much and they rely on your sauce preference to flavor the food. Overall a good experience. read more

Mission does not disappoint! The pulled pork is on point, but that brisket... the brisket is spectacular! I had the green beans and cheesy potatoes and they were excellent. Not only is the food outstanding, the company really goes the extra mile to support the community. I have been to several fundraising events for which Mission has donated food. They are doing great things! read more

So on May 9th 2019 I went to get some food here expecting great BBQ but was greatly disappointed. First off let me say that staff and decor and cleanliness of restaurant was excellent and what they do for the troops is great. I order the 2 meat combo on my lunch break and I got back to work to eat my food and was highly disappointed. I had the Turkey and chicken both were dry and the portions size were very small. I also had the baked beans and Coleslaw which were just okay. With Jim n Nick's just around the corner who offers better bang for the buck Mission bbq should make it their mission to offer better quality of food and portion sizes. read more
