My husband and I came to Mission BBQ for the 1st time and will definitely be back... probably often. As phenomenal as the food was, the service was just as great! I got the pulled pork with macaroni and cheese and my husband got pulled pork with macaroni and cheese and coleslaw. Both meals came with cornbread. Everything was delicious and fresh! We also got to try to peach cobbler... it's worth a trip to Mission BBQ just to try that! The sweet heat bbq sauce was also fantastic. Not too spicy, not too sweet. read more

Kim, Devon, Jim, and Erin were all extremely helpful and kind when I was ordering. They made it a point to make sure I was taken care of and the food came out and was excellent. I can't stress enough how great the customer service was at this location and would come back again just because of these individuals. I hope this reaches the right channels to ensure everyone on this shift is properly rewarded for their commitment to excellence.

Even though it's a chain restaurant, I've always thought that they had good food. Mission BBQ always delivers. I went with the brisket dry, and my wife got hers wet, and both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The smoke, the bark, the tenderness you can't go wrong either way. The mac and cheese and green beans are a must every time. That mac is creamy, cheesy, and especially good when you add a drizzle of their spicy BBQ sauce on top -- total game changer. My wife swears by the Alabama white sauce, while I like to mix the Mississippi and Maryland sauces for that perfect sweet-and-smoky kick. Between the sauce variety and how consistently good the food is, it's one of our go-to spots when we're craving BBQ done right. Mostly Friendly staff (the lady was kinda rushing me through my order and didnt make eye contact once) , quick service, and that patriotic vibe that makes Mission BBQ feel like more than just a restaurant..it's comfort food with purpose. read more

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. read more

Day made out experience great. She was so nice and friendly and went above and beyond what I expected. She ensured we had everything we needed, she helped take food we were finished with and helped me celebrate my birthday. She made the ambiance better all around and Mission Bbq should be very lucky to have her, she's a gem. I would go back just knowing how great her customer service was. read more

Fantastic food for good prices. Everytime I visit the Hampton Roads area this BBQ place is a must stop. Always a great tasty meal and the staff are fantastic read more

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. read more

Great place to eat and honor our military! The food was great! It was too much to eat ! Had to bring some of it home!

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! read more

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! read more

I haven't had MISSION BBQ in years! I stopped coming because I no longer eat red meat or pork. I never knew they offered salmon and chicken. I tried the chicken bbq sandwich with every sauce because I love a sauced bbq sandwich. When I ordered it, I felt rushed. I had several questions but I didn't ask half of them because the cashier was short with me. Again, haven't been in YEARS! The sandwich was horrible and cold. The sauce was great. I ended up throwing it away! Which sucks because it costs A LOT for a sandwich and drink. 4/10 recommend read more

Walked in and hospitality was nice. Girl at register was nice and helpful. Got the pull pork and it was amazing. The ambiance is a good vibe. Kim was super nice and made my first time worth while by checking in and being kind. Will definitely be coming back read more

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. read more

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! read more

Mission BBQ - Seasonal Dessert- strawberry shortcake - Barbeque Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

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. read more

Awesome place!! We dined here last night and it was great! My husband loved his beef brisket sandwich and I wasn't really feeling bbq (we knew they had a couple other options) & wanted to try their cheeseburger. It was so good..cooked just right.

Went there last night. Whoever made the Mac and cheese went heavy on the salt and light on the cheese. Then they hit me with they only offer baby back ribs. So I got those and they must have had the same memo of the Mac n cheese. They were DRY AF. I mean desert dry and over seasoned. The bread pudding was still fire and the customer service was still great as always. However if you want to make changes talk to the chef or the manager telling them to make food extra salty. read more

Ya I think they delete reviews that don't help them. The manager Ken acted like I fucked the order up when it was his people!!! Then he calls me and offers a complete refund. I'm not a beggar I'm 100% disabled and you fucked me out of $18 for a dry ass pulled pork and two sides i didn't even order. Keep my $18 KEN!!! read more

I'm loving Mission BBQ. I like the pulled chicken and baby back ribs. The ribs are my fav. It's tender and meaty. Hubby thinks the beef brisket is a touch and go. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's too tough. The meats are seasoned well with the right amount of smoke. The sides are pretty good. And the choices of bbq sauce meets everyone's needs. They have mustard vinegar, or sweet base so it's a lot to choose from. I don't know why... but BBQ places gives you the smallest bite size cornbread and Mission BBQ does the same and it's a shame because it's really good! Anyways I love their mission in always giving back to the Military community and that is why I will always support them! read more

Nice location. Our second time there we mentioned that we came with family from out of town (plus they're active military). One of the managers, Ken, heard that and immediately went above and beyond. He applied the Air Force discount even though it wasn't technically the right "day" of their promotion week. Plus, he surprised us with dessert at the end. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the food. Come out and visit this location, not just for the delicious food, but for the great service! Thank you Ken!!! read more

I was excited to make a stop at Mission BBQ! I love their menu and variety. We ordered the three meat sampler with moist brisket, pork, and shredded chicken. Sides were Mac and cheese and beans. While I was in line I couldn't help but grab the huge brownie for dessert. Every bite of the entire meal was delicious! Food was comforting and filling . The Brownie was chocolaty , and perfect. Service was excellent, the staff was so nice . The one staff member was asking me all the questions, what kind of sauce do you want ? Is that enough? Did we get the order right? I appreciated their efforts to make sure each of us were happy customers. The inside of the restaurant was so clean. I love the decor and support for troops and veterans. Plenty of napkins which is a must for BBQ! Parking was plentiful, there is plenty in the back of the building. I loved my meal so much ! read more

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! read more

Service wise, it depends, if you get someone that just started working, usually they get the order wrong and they aren't very social. but if you get a veteran in the job then service is great. Food is ok, it really depends on when you come in, if you come in right at 12 you will probably get leftovers from yesterday, so i recommend coming in at like 2. The ambiance is VERY VERY VERY redneck. But if your into that kinda thing it will be fine. read more

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! read more

I love the Mission BBQ concept. I know we Yelpers sneer at the chain barbecue places but Mission is different. First off, they do a bunch of good in the community. They are huge into the Wounded Warriors project. Some stores even designate close-in parking spaces for wounded veterans and that's awesome. Second off, the food is excellent. Like, really good. Pulled pork is moist. Ribs are meaty. And the turkey that I had today was in-sane. Delicious flavor, beautifully cooked, almost sweet. Definitely needing none of the table sauce here. Cole slaw was crunchy and creamy and delicious. Were those celery seeds? It was great. Yes, I cut off a very small corner of the cornbread because it was also excellent. Amazingly terrific lunch. Definitely will return and I sure will be looking out for Missions when I travel. [Review 10863 overall, 634 of 2019.] read more

I started with 3 stars.. had to add a 4th after I bit into the soft moist pulled chicken full of smokey flavor. BBQ baked beans are a nice touch once warmed up. Offering a chunk of brisket flavor. Through out the baked beans are small bites of brisket making me happy as I love these spicy beans, reminding me of a summer BBQ with friends. Other box offerings came with Cole slaw. Pulled pork with string beans, pulled pork with Cole slaw. Memphis blue is a fav sauce flavor i hear so they are on point completing our box lunch. read more

Mission BBQ is on a mission to provide exceptional customer service and boy do they deliver! The staff is nothing short of exceptional, especially to the service member patrons. They come often to your table, talk to you, and make sure you are enjoying your meal. They really love their military and emergency responders here! The walls are adorned with photo memorabilia, unit insignias, and patriotic lore. You know you are in an American state of mind at this restaurant because at noon there is an honoring of Old Glory, hanging from the rafters in the center of the restaurant, as the national anthem is played and sung. The food is always cooked to perfection and prepared quickly! Not a strand of BBQ is ever dried out and the sides are spot on. The sauce selection is really well thought out and I like to try a bite and taste a bit of each sauce as I devour one of their tasty Po' Boy, Pulled Pork, or Chopped Brisket sandwiches. This is the place if you are craving BBQ of any kind, it does not disappoint! read more

This was my first visit to a Mission BQ. THE clerks were friendly,and patient with me since they had to explain their menu. I had a pulled chicken sandwich with baked beans. My order was a take out but wished I had stayed and ate there. It was clean and had room for many people. The chicken sandwich was overflowing and very good. I was given 2 sauces to try and a coupon for a free sandwich on my next visit. read more

I've been to a few of these place in different parts of the country and I have to give credit where credit is due. Their consistency in being able to deliver a product that is tasty with a staff this punctual and attentive is quite astounding. I have never been to a Mission BBQ that didn't deliver on food quality and service. They just seem to have this model down pat. COVID life is always interesting now. We decided to eat outside b/c well.. covid and I enjoyed the small area. I do wish it was bigger but as in most things, sometimes the outside area is an "add-on" to the concept of the original building design. Nonetheless, it was nice and very easy to work with. The food? What can I say... it's great. Has never disappointed in either coast of this country and continues to deliver in Hampton Roads. If you've never been to one of these, you're missing out. It's a special treat for those who love this kind of food. I'm sure I'll be back!

I love Mission BBQ and I love this location. I always have had good service and my past visit was no different. However, their Brisket used to be seasoned and now it is bland I tasted the top where there used to be a wonderful rub and there was nothing not even salt. I would love to continue to patronize this location but the quality of the food needs to improve especially their signature brisket. Please management, return to your former quality, I do not want to go looking for another Mission BBQ or BBQ place when yours was so delicious. read more

Decided to stop by one of my favorites, since it is near my dentist office, and, once again, I was not disappointed. Bought dinner for the family and everyone was happy. We had the ribs, brisket, and pulled pork with baked beans, green beans, and coleslaw. Everything was delicious, the staff was wonderful, helpful, and friendly.

Mission BBQ - Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, baked beans, coleslaw, sauces, and green beans with some corn bread! - Barbeque Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

We had high expectations coming in to this restaurant for the first time. We were planning to dine here before however we never had the opportunity until today. The first thing we noticed when we first come in is that they support the troops, which is impressive. The menu is simple and the price are affordable. The items are mostly a la carte unless you want to add a few bucks for soda and sides. As for the customer service, we were impressed on how polite and helpful their employees are. They will go all out just to help you, even if the restaurant itself is really busy. We ordered brisket, chicken, and the ribs. The portioning are huge, which is great. Everything we ordered, especially my chicken, are juicy and tasty. The ribs fall of the bone, which only a few restaurants can do. My favorite is their beans because they have little briskets in it which makes it more flavorful. Now I know why people love to go to Mission BBQ. They perfected the three things that I like about a good restaurant: affordable price, awesome food, and very good customer service. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later. read more

I was really disappointed with this location as a whole. The food which is the most important part to me, was a total fail. I ordered two sides of Mac and cheese, that was a mistake. The consistency of the Mac and cheese was absolutely watery. I noticed my husband ordered a side of Mac too and his was completely different. The corn bread was so dry and hard I spit it out after tasting it. Now the service was not that great, except the dining room attendant was very nice and attentive. The only reason I'm giving this review a gracious 3 stars is because of the dining room attendant. I will not be back to this location, the location in Virginia Beach is way better and worth the drive of an extra 15 mins. read more

So, I've been to mission bbq before at other locations (vbeach & hampton), but this was our first time here. I was expecting pretty much the same thing. The food was good, as always, but their customer service was another level! I ordered the kids pulled pork slider from the kid's menu- I can never eat all the regular menu items, and I hate spending so much money on the entree with sides separately. I will always go to the kids menu from now on- it was a perfect portion for me! My friend ordered the cheesy jalapeño sausage, and didn't end up getting the correct sausage. I brought it back to the counter, and the manager told me it was not the correct sausage, so he immediately said he would bring the correct one to us. He let us keep the wrong sausage too (which was so nice- lunch for tomorrow!). A bit later on, my friend noticed there was a hair in her Mac & cheese. I told her to just go ask for a different side, but she said the Mac & cheese was too good. She ended up just getting it replaced, and the lady that she spoke to was very apologetic and gave her a complimentary blueberry cobbler. Hair happens- it's bound to happen literally anywhere, and no one likes it, but it is what it is. Very few places take care of their customers as well as we were taken care of today- I was blown away at the speedy friendliness that was shown to us today. I was so happy with their food, but moreso their level of customer service. Well done, Mission! read more

I decided to post after this second trip being not up to their usual standards. The brisket both moist and dry are without any smoke or beef flavor. Macaroni and cheese has been watery and the food lukewarm. Bacon in the green beans is white and appears uncooked. So disappointed. Oh and I spent $93.00 for lunch. I love this place but they are running out of chances to get back on top. Last week's visit I had burnt ends that were so hard and tough, I vowed to not order them any more they were inedible. read more
