There aren't enough kind words I can say about Mission BBQ. Their team is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to catering. They catered a buffet-style meal for my group of over 4,000 people, and everything went smoothly. Their catering service is truly a well-oiled machine--they have it down to a science. Beyond the impressive logistics, the team was a pleasure to work with, always professional, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend Mission BBQ for any large event or catering needs--they exceeded every expectation! Meredith Lippert was my point of contact. Her & her entire team deserve many kudos. I look forward to working with them again, & highly recommend anyone considering using them for catering.

Pulled pork sandwich

The food was tasty, not dried out. Six different sauce to choose from all had good flavor.

For a chain, this place breaks the mold of the typical chain restaurant. I love the patriotism displayed here. An excellent example is that every day at Noon, they play our National Anthem on the speakers and everyone stands at attention. I get chills just thinking about it. The food is always delicious and they have a great variety from Chicken, pork and beef, with plenty of sides for each individual palate.

Sooo yummy! We were actually watching a BBQ challenge show, which had us all craving some brisket. Mission for the bill perfectly! The brisket and baby-back ribs were excellent--perfectly cooked and flavorful. I wasn't the biggest fan of their Carolina style sauce, but there other sauces were pretty good. Each of the meats came with cornbread, which was moist and made for the perfect side. They have some military deal days coming up, so be sure to check those out!

My first encounter with Mission BBQ was recently on a Saturday for family birthday celebration. I'm not much of a barbecue fan or connoisseur, so I always defer to my husband to tell me what's good. He likes Mission BBQ and I can now say I do too. I won't say this is the easiest eatery to get to. It's located in a strip shop off a busy section of North Battlefield. The parking lot is ample in size for the few retailers in the center. Mission BBQ occupies an end unit and you won't miss it if you look for the huge military truck out front. Ordering style is typical of a fast casual place - order, fill your drink, wait for food delivery. The staff was SO helpful to this first-timer. I try to eat consciously and multiple staff members offered some great suggestions. I ended up choosing sliced turkey and a side salad for myself and a pulled chicken slider plate for my daughter. I wish I had asked about seasoning on the chicken - it was too spicy for her young palate, but I enjoyed the leftovers the next day! She did like the baked beans, as did our whole family! My turkey, while flavorful, was quite dry. This was remedied with a selection of sauces on the table with descriptions of each. So helpful! The Memphis & Texas sauces were a favorite. My accompanying salad was HUGE and fresh. A great addition! Hubby had a brisket sandwich with mac and cheese and coleslaw. All was enjoyed. The primary reason for our visit was to celebrate a preschooler's birthday - and she loves Mission because of the National Anthem, which is played at noon. It's a beautiful pause in the day. There were neighboring tables of folks, some with veteran hats & jackets that obviously enjoy this restaurant with good reason. We noted a poster on the door announcing an upcoming closure for the staff to complete community service. I appreciate what Mission BBQ stands for and the good work they do for the military community. We had excellent service throughout our visit and the food was tasty. I would never hesitate to return!

1/2lb brisket, 1/4lb jalapeño cheddar sausage.
Rex R.

Was in Chesapeake for a job and needed some quick lunch. I was able to get a plate of delicious meat for about $20. Brisket was nice and juicy and the sausage I got had some cheddar jalapeño which made it taste even better than usual. Came with slaw and cornbread as a side as well. Very feeling meal, nice atmosphere like with any other Mission BBQ. There was a polite woman checking on tables and asking if we needed anything. Awesome bbq joint that I can always rely on.

Oh my goodness! Discovered Texas style brisket at City of Chesapeake Beef Fest! Ever since- I've been looking all over to buy some to bring home. One of my friends reccomended Mission Barbecue in Great Bridge. I had no idea they were so supportive of such a great mission! Not only is their Beef Brisket delicious, I feel like I'm in a big circle of Hero's! I love the way they observe patriotic holidays and especially the way they honor our first responders and members of the military! At noon they play the "National Anthem", everyone is silent! I can feel the chills run down my spine! We are proud of this great country under God!

Seasonal Dessert- strawberry shortcake
Nadine J.

First time at Mission BBQ (don't judge me ) and they did NOT disappoint! Let's start with customer service 200 out of 10! Everyone was friendly and super helpful. When they found out it me and my sisters first time eating at their establishment, they treated us like royalty or at least that's how I felt lol (see picture). They even let you sample food. Moving on to the interior (I'm saving the best for last ). The inside of the restaurant is clean clean but the bathroom! Baby that bathroom was sparkling clean and smelled good! 100 out of 10 Finally, the food my God, the food was DE-LISH! *chefs kiss* we tried the market sampler (turkey and salmon) with mac and cheese, collard greens and french fries plus it comes with cornbread. All of it was spectacular! I really wish I had taken a picture of the food BUT I did get a picture of the complimentary desert! Their seasonal strawberry shortcake (pictured)! Literally, the cherry on top of the meal. Y'all that strawberry shortcake was so fresh and good All of the food we ate was amazing and cook perfectly! 1,000,000 out of 10 It look me so long to try this place because when they first opened they only had red meat, pork and chicken (all proteins I don't eat). I was happy to see they added turkey and seafood to the menu. Super satisfied customer(s)! I'll definitely be back soon!

Smoked wings on display at Mission BBQ, Chesapeake, VA 2/13/2022
Let S.

2/13/2022 Mission BBQ - Chesapeake VA is the bomb!! There are truly helpful! My fiancé and I pre-ordered the 2 orders of smoked wings, quart of cheesy potatoes, pint of Mac & cheese, quart of green beans, 1 lb of moist brisket, and about six pieces of cornbread! It came out to just over $100.00 (of course our gift cards helped with the payment). * Green Beans- spicy & good. * Mac & Cheese- cheesy and good! * Cheesy Potatoes- this is ok. Just needs more potatoes and no onions for me. * Smoked Wings- delish! They should reduce the price & keep it on the menu! * Cornbread- moist and good! They need to sell pans of it! * Brisket- MOIST BRISKET....be sure to ask for moist brisket. So yummy! * Sweet Iced Tea- not mine sweet tea but it's ok * Smoky Mountain BBQ Sauce- my favorite and so smoky good! Dang! I'm getting hungry again typing this! Imma need a Mission bowl!! A bowl of Mac & cheese, brisket, and smoky mountain drizzle! #ThickGirlChronicles #I'mSoGreedy Anyway...the Chesapeake location is the best one yet! Everyone was kind, professional, and helpful as usual!! Adam, Steve, Gabby, Angela are just a lovely group of people!! It's important to enjoy where you work and you can clearly see that they enjoy not only what they do, but serving the community as well. Thank you Mission BBQ - Chesapeake, VA!

Been looking for a bbq restaurant for a while. Passed Mission BBQ four years and missed 4 years of great bbq. They love our veterans as well. Every day at noon everyone stands and sings the national anthem. Customer service above and beyond. Staff knows what they serve and whom they serve. Go in tell them you are a veteran and your experience will bring you back guaranteed. Bbq Chicken piled high juicy and delicious, Dry rub baby back ribs that fall off the bone, best cornbread in a long time and bbq baked beans round out the savory with a rich sweet sauce. Don't forget dessert with a slice of carrot cake with a cream cheese icing very rich compliment to tasty bbq.

Maaaaaaan I was not ready!!! I got there at 1050a (they open at 11). There was only 1 guy waiting…read morebut quickly the line grew. The doors opened prompted at 11 which was good. I came specifically on Friday to order the smoked oxtail and I'm so happy I did!! A pound of oxtail was $35 but you get a great amount of meat for that price. I also ordered the collard greens and baked beans. EVERYTHING WAS SO DAMM DELICIOUS!! Even the oxtail with their fat, it melted in my mouth. The only negative thing I have to say is that I paid $2.50 for cornbread. You would think that it or some kind of bread would come with the platters. And while it was ok, it wasn't worth $2.50. I'll definitely be back to try other items

We pulled up during what felt like a historic flood but apparently might just be another day in Norfolk. We arrived a bit after lunch hour and were able to order right away. You make your choices at the counter and then take the food to a covered seating area. (Good thing it's covered since it was pouring) I'll start by mentioning that every staff member we encountered was awesome, they all seemed into what they were doing and delivered a great experience. I was also impressed by the operation. They had everything you would need displayed in the seating area. Sauces, utensils, napkins, to go containers, and bags. No need to awkwardly look for anything. Hard to get this far into a review without mentioning the outstanding food. It's some of the best BBQ I've had! We went with the professional platter and added burnt ends. I enjoyed each and every item but the standout to me was the brisket, I've never had a juicier more tender piece of brisket in my life! Ribs were done really well also, the burnt ends had tons of flavor, the sausage was delicious, and the pulled pork and chicken were winners as well. The fries were better than expected, the Mac and cheese was tasty, and the broccoli salad worked really well with all that meat! Truly a feast!

Looking for something different than the places close to the hotel on Yelp I stumbled across "Hazed" the name made me stop to see what they offered. After I tried to order online, the app said, they did not deliver to my location, but, it was less than 3 miles I called, spoke to Keisha she said my husband and I will come!! Points for their customer service during these unprecedented times. When they got there we chatted a while. I discovered they were supposed to open a location on Virginia Beach before Covid 19 stalled them... but it's only a stall! Now let's talk about the food the brisket was good and the Hazed sauce made it even better. The Mexican corn was a nice change as well. The smoked wings where pippin hot and the rub used made them more flavorful, the Buffalo Haze sauce took them over the top. Even the Mac and cheese was on point. I ordered the banana pudding super rich and delish! Not disappointed at all! Kudos to Hazed and it's owners for good food and great customer service Blessings

The meat was tender and held juices. The portion they give you is a nice size, it's packaged well with napkins and untinsels and labeled. I love the amount of barbecue sauce they give you. Once we chilled the banana pudding it was very good as well. Overall I highly recommend supporting Hazed. I look forward to them opening up a spot! Support Black Owned Businesses!!

Thought they were just super hot and need a minute to cool down. But they were drenched in oil from the fryer. At first I tried dabbing them in the basket. Then, realizing that was doing no good and the breading was just going to be soggy, I took them out and blotted them on the brown paper table cover. We only at a few.
