Parking spot reserved for Veterans

This place is great! The restaurant was clean and inviting. Their decor is Military, Police and Firefighters. There is a wide variety of first responder patches on the walls. There are football uniforms and helmets from the military match ups.( i.e. Army/Navy games). The food was excellent. I had the smoked ribeye steak. It was cooked to perfection The young lady that took my order was very friendly. And, because it was my first time dining there, she was very helpful. I wish we had a Mission BBQ in Reno, Nevada!

Turkey plate with Mac n cheese

Wow is all I can say! I've tried a lot of bbq joints and this one stands out the most! I love all of the military memorabilia scattered all throughout the restaurant. They also offer a veterans club that veterans can join to receive perks! I can't wait to get my free pulled pork sandwich for signing up! The Turkey and pork were both so tender and moist. The Alabama white sauce tasted FANTASTIC on the smoked Turkey. They also have an assortment of sauces and a North Carolina vinegar you can choose to use. My favorite sauces were the honey heat and Smokey mountain. I'm not a big cobbler guy... honestly have never found one I enjoyed until today. The blueberry cobbler was to die for! Great baked beans as well! I'm not huge into chain restaurants, but I think this might be the "Chick Fil A" of bbq! Keep it up!

Great lunch stop on our school field trip to Washington D.C. We enjoyed the smoked cheese burger, fries, and pulled pork sandwich At the top of the hour the National Anthem came on and the entire restaurant stood up to sing and honor our country A beautiful tribute to see. The customer service was amazing- food samples and fresh cut flowers in the restroom to boot! I'll gladly support a business like Mission BBQ any day.

Holy wow! Not only does Mission BBQ support a great cause, it is DELICIOUS! The Baby Back Ribs are to die for! The Mac & Cheese is also absolutely delicious, the perfect Mac! The fries have a great flavor and are extra crispy. Pulled chicken sandwich is savory and delicious! I love the Texas Twang BBQ sauce as well! Cant wait to come back over and over!

Had the occasion to be down at VT again in as many weeks and after coming off the awesome bbq meal at Mission from last time (frankly, the thought of those mouth watering ribs was still hanging in my brain), I could not NOT go back for more. This time, I was short on time, had to get back on the road AND was trying to beat the dinner crowd on Parent's Weekend! So I placed a to go order by phone around 630PM on a Saturday (!!) and I was able to jump the line when I got there by USING THE SIDE ENTRANCE FOR PICK UP ORDERS (instead of going through the main front entrance and you won't have to wait in that line (if there is one)!). There's a separate manned counter just for pick-ups. The service was super quick and easy, once again every single worker bar none was friendly, responsive and accommodating. Ask for your side bbq sauces when you pick up your order (I overheard that you can purchase sauces separately! Good to know - I LOVE the spicy, honey one called TUPELO HONEY HEAT. OMG so good!). Took the bag of food back to the hotel and opened up the box of yummy goodness. This time, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of crispy/well done fries (in Mission BBQ-speak, it's "Fries Down"). I also ordered TWO of their CARROT CAKE seasonal desserts which I didn't get to try last time I was here because they had sold out of them. Turns out I learned they are switching out their seasonal dessert and that was the last day for carrot cake sad face! Next up: PEACH COBBLER which, no lie, actually sounds just as good and something I will HAVE TO try. YES to ANY fruit or berry cobbler!! Back to the carrot cake - soooooo good! Flavorful, moist, and the generous dollop of cream cheese frosting - not too sweet, just right - was a perfect accompaniment with each cake-bite. Check out my pics of my to-go order. The pulled pork was piled soooooooo high. GENEROUS PORTIONS OF EVERYTHING - no skimping here. Just some really delicious, flavorful down home BBQ, fast efficient service in a super clean, well maintained atmosphere and environment. Say no more!

We were welcomed and asked for our preference in seating…read more Our plans changed last night, and we had dinner at Bull&Bones in Christiansburg. We had no reservation, but we were able to be seated. The menu was easy to read and follow. They provided the most amazing chips as a courtesy while we decided on our dinner choices. The chips were house-made and FANTASTIC!. Our meal was outstanding. Perfectly prepared. Generous portions. Our food was hot! Meadow was our server. She was outstanding. The approach to customer service was Superb- the entire team of servers took care of everyone's customers if the food was ready and that customer's server was with another customer. Meadow was very attentive, and there was a private party in their private dining space. I watched this young woman engage with elderly customers as though they were family... and they loved it. How special they felt. She was also that same way with us. It was as though we were her only customers. The ambiance was good - it is known for its BBQ after all. It was clean and orderly. One of the managers stopped by to check on us and meal. Attention to detail matters...we felt like we mattered.

Okay for starters, excellent service. The guy who waited on our table was beyond friendly and…read morehumorous. He seemed to genuinely care about us and our orders; extremely accommodating and polite. The place was rather nice inside too for a brewpub! As we sat down our table was given a small sample of their house made potato chips, they were pretty good, would've been even better in some ranch! With that, the main food: I got a Chicken Caesar wrap and added bacon, honestly it was pretty good. The chicken had good flavor, it was very filling, and adding the bacon stepped it up a notch. For the cons, I wish it would've had more Caesar dressing, and the portion for the price it felt a little smaller than I was expecting. Overall a hearty wrap! I also got the 4 cheese Mac for my side. I was so excited to try it because I've heard people rave about it, but it sort of fell flat for me. If you really like a super creamy mac n cheese this is for you! I just wish there would've been a bit more flavor, some depth, for a premium side I just don't think this did it for me. Overall, great service, cute place right outside the big mall area, but I think the food is a little more average than I was hoping for. If there was an option I'd say it lands more at a 3.5 than a 3. Then again, I only got the wrap and mac, and I know they are more known for the bbq and burgers at the moment, so give those a fair chance!

I decided to get the platter with two meats here, from which I selected 1 fried catfish fillet,…read morebrisket (came in 2 pieces), and this came with slaw, and two sides, where I chose tater tots and mac and cheese The first thing that absolutely shocked me was the size of this plate. It was incredibly large. My first thought when seeing the food was "there's no way I'm going to finish this". The catfish fillet stretched across the entire plate to cover basically the entire thing. I didn't expect the brisket pieces to be so large either. Also, the amount of tater tots on the plate was significant as well. That's not even to consider the mac & cheese and slaw coming in separate, decently sized cups. Starting with the brisket, I thought this was quite good. What jumped out to me at the start was how well this seemed to be cooked, with beautiful char marks throughout and excellently charred edges. The pieces I had that really nice smoky flavor, and the fat in the meat (since brisket is rather lean - there wasn't too much of it) tasted really good as well. I do think it was a bit dry, as cutting it with a knife required a little bit more effort than cutting a perfectly juicy brisket was, and i did notice some of the meat to be somewhat tough, but I do think both pieces were pretty solid Moving to the fried catfish, I loved how well the breading was seasoned. It had some pepper and other spices that gave it that extra flavor. I liked this less than the brisket, however, due to a) how paper-thin the breading was and b) how easily the breading broke apart from the catfish itself. The entire fillet seemed like it was on the verge of collapse. After my first cut with a fork and knife, a lot of the breading came off, and a good amount of the inner fish spilled out onto the plate. I did think the fish meat was certainly not dry and tasted pretty good, though The tater tots were also fantastic, and there was a lot of them. the fried batter on these was thick and they were quite crunchy as a result. I also appreciated the relish-like sauce that came with them. Another thing that was really good was the slaw - I found the dressing especially to be really flavorful and the vegetables were done well. I liked the mac and cheese less, though, so when it came to prioritizing, I only ended up eating a few bites of it As I already mentioned, the portion size here was pretty insane, and for a price of only around 15 dollars for everything, I thought this ratio was astoundingly good. I would recommend ordering just one for two people, as even as someone who can eat a lot, I had to leave a lot of the mac & cheese and tater tots as I prioritized finishing the main dishes. They certainly don't skimp on size - whether it's the main meat or a side

Great service, so attentive and the food was delicious. Most convenient place to the campus.read more

Our most recent visit felt like a "vanishing act"--once our order was taken, we were left with empty glasses and a table cluttered with dirty dishes for the rest of the meal/dessert. The breaking point for an afternoon lunch was the 15-minute wait just to close out our checks after they were dropped off. Our server mentioned they were handling 15 tables at once, so I know they were doing their best; but where is management? I've spent many years working in the service industry in almost every position, and we were trained to ask any table we walked by that looked like there were empty plates to ask if they wanted those cleared for them. Management always checked on tables or was visible on the floor. And this wasn't a 5-star restaurant, it was a chili bar/cafe. There was no one touching tables or assisting a clearly overwhelmed floor. Whether it's a scheduling or staffing issue, the kitchen deserves better support because the service gaps are actively driving us to look elsewhere for lunch. I hope management/ownership takes these reviews seriously and helps support their team and makes a few changes. We want to love this place cuz the food is good, but if service doesn't change then what are we paying/tipping for?
