    I was looking for gluten-free food options for dinner. They had great options and the food was excellent. The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten-free options and were quick and efficient in filling my order. Very pleasant experience. Additionally, I really like the honor and respect they give to veterans, military, and first-responders through the displays they have in the restaurant.

    First time here at this location. I love the stuff they have with Soldiers and stuff. Plus uniforms from Army, navy, etc. for the food is a lot of your standard Bbq. Some of the sides are really good like the potato salad or the fresh cut fries. For service it's good as they get u right away. Also have really good banal pudding for dessert.

    I loveeeee bbq & after a stressful day (we had a bad storm & large tree fell on our truck) my husband & I were craving bbq & Mission is super close to us. I went in & ordered carry out. We ordered two meat plate with brisket, turkey, mac&chz, & green beans, and smoked ribeye (special of the day) with collard greens & smashed potatoes. The girl at the counter asked how my day was going so I told her other than a tree falling on my truck, ok.... when the order was ready, she said she threw in 2 peach cobblers (soooo good) to brighten up my day. The food & service were great, & priced reasonably. But, the kindness made a bad day much better. Thanks, Mission BBQ!

    After 26 years of enjoying Texas BBQ, we're trying to adapt to Louisville/So Indiana style. Mission BBQ has a lot going for it, but there's also lots of room for improvement. First. BBQ without beer? Sacrilege. Second. BBQ without bread, pickles & jalapeños? The horror. Everything is ala cart. Your meat only comes with a piece of corn bread. Order a sliced turkey plate like my wife and you can't even make a sandwich. Of course, there's plenty of sides to choose, but watch you $8 lunch blossom to $12-$15. I ordered pulled pork and brisket. The pork was lacking seasoning. The brisket had no bark. Neither the turkey, pork or brisket had any real smoke flavor. The meats were moist, tender and ample. They just needed real BBQ flavor. Still, Mission BBQ has its own charm. Every day at noon, customers stand and sing the national anthem. Veterans are regularly (and rightly) honored. Photos of veterans fill the walls. And, they have a roving ambassador named Dawn who flits from table to table making sure everyone has their expectations met. We may have had better BBQ (TX spoiled us). But the experience was epic. Mission BBQ has a great vibe. Just a little more smoke and they'll hit it out of the park.

    Mission barbecue salad barbecue establishment that goes with the veterans army theme. They have a big tank it sits outside in a lot of soldier memorabilia and the restaurants. The food is really good I had pulled pork and brisket and both were very tasty and I do highly recommend it

    I'm a big fan of brisket. Mission BBQ's is good. The sides are good, and you have the choice of some bottles drinks. The decor is "First Responder," if that is such a thing. It's nice. I've been told they do a little ceremony at noon that fits with that theme. The only problem is their sauces. They have a good variety, including South Carolina mustard-based and North Carolina vinegar-based sauces. They have no go-to winner sauce. They are all mediocre at best. KC Classic is a close to a good sauce as they have. Texas Twang actually taste like Worcester sauce. Bay-B-Que has Old Bay seasoning. They are all weird to this Texas boy. Bring your own sauce!

The sauce deserves to be bottled and sold everywhere--it's that good. The portions are spot-on for the price, and the quality across the board is unreal. The macaroni and cheese might be the best thing on the menu, with the beans right there behind it--but trying to rank anything feels pointless when everything hits at such a high level.

Small dining area with the most attentive and friendly staff! I know once the word gets out about this place, she will soon have to open full time! Our new favorite BBQ joint!!!

Both the meats were really good. Not overly smoked with sometimes takes away from the flavor of the meat. The crispy skin of the hot link added an enjoyable bite and flavor.

The mac n green could use some seasoning, but the general concept was good.

Definitely glad we checked it out, as the food was delicious. My husband and I split a plate with a few meats on it, including brisket, pulled pork, and one hot link - you can order meats à la carte or you can get a combo of sorts or tacos. My sister-in-law got the brisket tacos and she said they were tasty AF. Out of all of the meats, I liked the brisket the best but the pulled pork was also really good. We also got the pork balls, which was more like balls of meatloaf with barbecue sauce and slaw, and it was really interesting. We got sweet potato fries, but as an appetizer, and it was gigantic, it came with sour cream, which I've never seen before and also some sort of apple butter. For dessert, we got the bread pudding cubes with the white chocolate bourbon sauce, and that was really inventive and also delicious. I also forgot to mention that I got the bourbon slushy of the month, it was mint julep, and that was really good too. Overall, I would definitely come back here again, my only complaint is the price (about $65 for two of us, but that included all that meat, two appetizers, a beer, and a small slushie) but it's comparable to other barbecue places in the area IMO.

The location I originally planned on visiting (closer to Whiskey Row in Louisville) literally closed a couple of days before I came into town. Not a big deal. I found this location and it was on the road and on the way of my drive to Indianapolis. When I walked in, I was greeted by the friendliest person and was seated in a booth. My server came over and I apologize, but I forget the young lady's name - I think it was Chloe (or Zoey?) - but she was just so attentive and pleasant. I ordered the (brisket) sandwich and burgoo combo. It came out pretty quickly. The burgoo was a good 'stick to your ribs' type of dish and the sandwich was tasty. There are two types of BBQ sauce on the table to add to the sandwich depending on your preference. Really solid meal overall. A lot of food for a reasonable price too! I got a box for most of my sandwich so I can enjoy later that evening. The service style here is a full service sit down restaurant, but vibe is still pretty casual. Feels like one of those restaurants where you don't want to cook, but you want a delicious hot meal that won't break the bank. Although I was here by myself, this place looks like it would be great for groups and families as well.

Noise level is mild to moderate. Restaurant is very clean. Staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming. One of the staff brought some complimentary cookies to the table for one of our guys who had served. What a nice gesture! Looking forward to return visits in the near future. Appreciate the concept and honoring our service members. I did deduct 1 star this time since one of my friends informed me about something that caused him to pause. He stated a bit of an "ick" that the photos of women service members are apparently displayed in the men's restroom in the stalls. Can't help but feel it's a bit disrespectful and wish those were displayed in the restaurant with all of the other service members. I'll check out the women's facilities during my next visit to see if perhaps a commensurate display of service members is also similarly in place.
