I am blown away at how good this place is! I've always been familiar but I've never actually had the chance to come here. Immediately upon walking in you can smell the Smokey flavors brewing!! The young lady at the front desk was super helpful, as a first timer I had no idea what to order and I'm a bit indecisive when it comes to food! Not only was she super patient but she recommended some great items and even threw in a free dessert since it was my first time. So let's go ahead and rate everything! The turkey was a 20 out of 10! Seriously some of the best smoked turkey I've tasted and it was super moist and it pairs nicely with the mesquite bbq sauce(TRUST ME). I also ordered the Mac & Cheese and I'd say it was a solid 8.5 out of 10. I'm a fan but it felt like it was missing a little something but overall just a great taste. The collard greens were delicious! Sweet but not overly done and I really loved that they didn't add meat and just kept it simple with peppers! Very good. The cornbread tasted like my mom was back there making it from scratch. Seriously good! Now for the grand finale? The peach cobbler!!! Are you serious?? This was sooooo good! The peaches, the crust? I mean it deserves an award. Overall probably some of the best dessert I've had in a long time! This place has a new fan and weekly customer, it's worth every penny, and I'm happy it's not far from home! I ordered to go and the service was beyond quick and food was hot even when I got home. Also, I have to mention everything was packaged so neat and I have to say hats off to the staff! If you dine in, there are plenty of tables and seating. I'm glad I finally got to try this place and I think you should too, especially if you're reading this :) read more

Wifey and I dined at Mission BBQ to use my free sandwich reward. We both ordered moist brisket and added fries, collard greens and banana pudding. Everything was fabulous. I prefer my fries on the crispy side, but I ate these anyways. We also got a piece of cornbread by accident and that didn't hurt my feelings. I had interaction with Ben, Manager and Gabriel, at register. They were very cordial and informative. A young lady came by our table and offered a free taste of cucumber and tomato salad. Wife and I both got a sample and agree it was good. I look forward to our next visit and try the meatloaf and some other sides. read more

Rounded up from 3.5 to 4 Stars mainly because I really like the decor, atmosphere, and it's HUGE support of military and first responders. Bravo ! I know this is a chain. Maybe some locations are better than others, but this was my first experience. It's fast food; order at counter and they call your name when ready. THE FOOD..... I had the Brisket ( half Wet\half Dry). Seasoning was good but the Dry was a little too dry for me. At my companion's suggestion I also had the smoked salmon, Although smoked well, I should have known not to order Atlantic salmon as it is usually farm-raised and dries out easy. I stopped buying\ ordering it years ago ( only Pacific NW or Wild for me) It was very dried out. I didn't finish it. Corn bread was actually very good and the potato salad is the recipe with egg ( it's sort of yellow). It was good. Free refills on soda, sweet tea, lemonade, etc.. One thing I really liked is that each table has 5-6 bottles of different sauces that were very good. Definitely giving this chain another shot. Probably next time in NC. read more

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. read more

Great smoky barbecue with tasty coleslaw. It's a bit more expensive but I like the decor and pround to be an American attitude. It's a clean environment and attentive staff . read more

My wife & I stopped here on a whim. We drove past a couple of times that night, just seeing what was in the area. We usually split dinners and this was no exception. We got the sampler with brisket, pulled pork & sausage. I don't remember what sides we got (it's been awhile since we were there). Everything was outstanding!! We tried all of the bbq sauces, and they were all fabulous, as well!! Most places will do something better than other items. Not so, here! Like I said above, everything was out of this world! The service was great & the staff were very friendly & the ambiance was really nice. We will definitely be back!! We wish it were closer to us up in Indy. read more

Solid BBQ - not the best I've ever had, but not the worst, either. Portions are good, and the kids meal is a nice value. Lots of sides to choose from. Friendly and fast counter service, and also patient when you're not quite ready to order when it's your turn. Lots of seating and clean. read more

Best brisket around. It is hard to find good brisket at bbq places anymore it seems. They have good sides too.

Staff was fine, restaurant was clean. BBQ on par with other fast casual spots like city bbq or Dickeys. My "moist brisket" was half fat and a little chewy. The jalapeño sausage was the best protein I had. Sides were excellent, one of the better potato salads I've had. read more

My first though, before I even sat down: ewww. Chain joint bbq. Famous Dave's, anyone? Their military truck that sits outside every location is definitley cool and grabs my attention everytime. But, let's get on to the food! It was actually really good. I was seriously hungry when I went, so that might be a factor. I ate every bite and it was delicious. I'm form Memphis so I hold BBQ to a higher standard, and well this fit the bill. I got a pulled pork sandwhich and fries, and much to my delight they came out rather quickly. The table has several styles of sauce for your choosing ranging from Memphis to hot and even NC style. If I had a complaint about the food: the bun wasn't soft. I know, we're knitpicking, but I'd order just the meat next time. Cool decor. Very military friendly, very proud of being Americans. I'd go back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

STARVED. FAMISHED. RAVENOUS. I walked in needing something delish. My food arrived piping hot. It was DELICIOUS. SCRUMPTIOUS. DELECTABLE. My friend and I left feeling satisfied, most likely several pounds heavier, with plenty to spare. If you come through, be sure to shoutout the amazing Lily and Brooke they served us with EXCELLENCE. If I had to describe my experience I would use GRATIFIED. DELIGHTED. BLESSED. read more

Food is average at best. When you compare to other bbq joints, unfortunately mission isn't even competing 8 steps behind their competitors. Price is extremely high. The price for this bbq is as high or higher than all their betters (including some in high rent areas). Service is excellent. Staff is helpful and the only thing they have going for them. Place is a bit too much into the virtue signaling. From tax dodge "charity" donations to fake military grandiose. All could be overlooked if the food quality wasn't C rank. read more

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! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Clarksville, Indiana

This place was packed from the counter to the door. There was no distance between tables. Masking was NOT enforced. Some dude without a mask kept inching closer and closer while I was picking up a carry out order. Not a single employee asked for him to mask up. The utensils were provided in bins in the counter. I watched a half a dozen hands fish out spoons, forks, and knives while leaving behind whatever contaminants were on their hands. Likewise, drinks were self serve with lids being groped by random strangers and straws scattered on the counter. The food was not worth the risk. The ribs were cold. The salmon was dry. The sides were not memorable at all. The corn bread was okay. Avoid. read more

I don't have a whole lot to say about this place. It was good. The smoked turkey the day before Thanksgiving hit the spot. lol!! I didn't really like all the BBQ sauces but for those of you who like options you will. Nothing spectacular here. Good smoked meat!! read more

I was staying in the area and saw this as an option. I stopped in around 8pm and it was wide open. My order was ready immediately. They have a variety of sauces so I tried all of them and enjoyed all of them. The downsides were that the portion sizes were a bit small. If I had known, I whould have ordered two meats. They also don't have beer or any desserts so it is pure barbecue and sides. read more

As someone who truly critiques food just as much as atmosphere, Mission BBQ is top notch in all aspects. The ordering system is cafeteria style; order in a line, pick up your food, seat yourself. The decor is military/Americana themed, high ceilings have flags hanging, and there is a great variety of seating (high tops, booths, low top tables). Both visits so far I've ordered the smoked salmon, and it's by far one of the best salmon filets I've had; generous seasoning, moist, flaky, and in need of no tweaks. The green beans are delicious, spicy, and savory - highly recommend! The mac & cheese is creamy & wonderful. Every combo meal is accompanied with cornbread (on the sweeter side) and a fountain beverage, but I've been upgrading to a glass bottled Big Red for only 60 cents more. Several glass bottled drinks are available! Cheerwine, Big Red, Dr. Pepper, YooHoo, etc. This will definitely be a regular spot from here on, as it blows the rest of Southern Indiana's BBQ out of the water. The total for my XXL combo meal shown here was $13.99 plus .60 for the glass beverage. read more

The sauces are delicious, the mac and cheese is alright, the service (for takeout) was nice but a little long. I usually like for the meat to be great without the sauce- in that regard the meat alone would not have been a go-to for me. I can't believe it took me this long to try out Mission BBQ- I'll be back! read more

First time trying it with my wife and it was very average I would say. I had the brisket sandwich, while my wife wanted the brisket plate. Right off the bat they got our order wrong and gave us two sandwiches instead. We rolled with it, because it wasn't that huge of a difference to us. Out of the six sauces on the table the only good one in our opinion was the smoky mountain, however the brisket was a bit dry and chewy which didn't lead to the best experience. The fries however were excellent and probably the best part of the meal. I don't believe this would be a place we'd try again, but who knows. I did like the overall theme with the tributes to veterans, it was very respectful. read more

We shared a three meat combo. Pulled pork, brisket and sausage. Sides were French fries and cheese potatoes. It also came with cornbread. The inside is dedicated to military and first responders. AWESOME The food was excellent and a very good selection of sauces. I had the Carolina vinegar based that took me back to NC. read more

Mission BBQ - Three meat combo - Barbeque Near Me - Clarksville, Indiana

Mission BBQ is on a mission to serve sub-mediocre bbq to southern Indiana. I've tried eating at Mission 3 times now. When I go to a BBQ joint the first thing I get is the pulled pork. Why? It's basic, it's standard, every BBQ joint should be able to home run this one. If you can get the pulled pork right everything else should fall into place. Ordering a meat, 2 sides, and a drink ran me about $13. This is not a bad price for great BBQ....great bbq. At mission the pulled pork came on my plate and took the form of only what I can describe as a bell shaped jello mold. It looked gross and industrial like. Second thing that caught my eye was there were no pieces of charred outside or the nice red ring you get when smoking a piece of meat. My suspicions were confirmed when I dug into the meat mold of pork. It was totally bland and the meat had zero flavor. The menu claims slow smoked and hand pulled...one of those might have been true...maybe. The only pulling I experienced was someone pulling my leg this is actually BBQ that's smoked low and slow. No smoke flavor was found in the pork. I suspect this was either cooked in an oven or boiled. A smoker never touched this meat. BBQ should be able to stand up on it's on without sauce but this BBQ REQUIRED sauce for any flavor. There were several sauce selections to choose from, all were okay, not great. Instead of the sauce being used to accentuate the taste of the BBQ the sauces were the only taste of the BBQ. Until Mission BBQ makes it their mission to serve real smoked BBQ I'll make it my mission to avoid going at all costs. Sweet Tea 10/10 read more

Casual ambience. Order at the front and wait for them to slice your eat in front of you. Pick up your fountain drink and food when it's ready then grab a table. I met my mom for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of the staff. Two different people came to check on us, one brought my mom more I salad dressing so she didn't have to get up and the second cleared our table for us. 6 barbecue sauces to try. Some I liked, some I hated, some were just ok. Kinda reminded me of Famous Dave's. The cornbread was good. Not the best that I have had. Macaroni was very cheesy and gooey. It had a hint of Parmesan. Crumbly topping which is my favorite. The pulled pork was tender and juicy. I ate most of it without the barbecue sauce. If in the area again I would stop by. read more

Food so good you'll smack your Momma! We had them cater our wedding. Slight snafu with the leftovers not getting to us and a mess of who to talk to. Seems there were 7 managers who claimed to be over catering. Kinda a pain but we managed to make it. Never really got that all resolved. The one plate we had at our reception was delicious, I had to steal a banana pudding cup in between pictures lol, so good, but seasonal. They have banana bread pudding now. Either is great. Ask for the white Alabama Sauce!! Yummmmmmmmmmy!!!! read more

We have eaten here twice and enjoyed the food and friendly people both times. The meat is tender and has a good flavor, as do the sides. Watch out for the potato salad though, it's a bit on the spicy side. There are six choices of sauces. You are sure to find one that you will like. The food is really good. This would be our number one choice for barbecue on the IN side of the river. If you're an adult, don't be afraid to order a kids meal. They allow that without giving you a look. The decor of the restaurant is of those who serve, as in military, police, fire,... I like looking at all of the different patches and photographs. I sat on a bench this last time that was made out of fire hoses. I thought that was pretty cool. It was donated by the Clarkesville fire department. I know that we will be coming back here, when we are in the mood for some good barbecue. read more

I have gone here twice and have yet to be disappointed. I suppose I am fairly new to the realm of barbecue, as in Wisconsin (my home state), we have our state delicacies but no one's pretending to be meat smokers and be good at it. I've tried a lot of different smoked meats/BBQ spots since living down here, and while Mission BBQ is a regional chain, I highly recommend it. The variety of meats are superb. Oh you haven't tried that before? Ask for a sample, they'll give you one. They have a wide variety of sides and seasonal sites that change. The corn bread as fluffy and excellent I'm at cheat day for sure. This spot can meet all of your dietary needs: keto, low-carb, Paleo, whole 30, Etc. I personally always order pulled pork as it is my favorite. My dad enjoys the brisket. The next time we go out we might explore the ribs. They have six sauces at each table, each one represents a different state and their style of barbecue. The Decor inside has a strong vibe of support for American service people. I love it. read more

This place is AMAZING !! 1st off NO MICROWAVES or FREEZERS in any of the restaurants Everything is fresh made daily! I have now come 2 times and every time, Food is so delicious, staff very friendly and fast. I seem to keep getting the same thing lol the 3 Meat Market Sampler and only switch up the 2 sides, but My favorite meats are smoke turkey breast, pulled pork and Brisket ( order them moist) I really love their baked beans, green beans and the slaw. These sides are so good, and I tend to finish them up before I even get started on the meats. But never can finish the meats always end up taking home where my Husband finish them off before I can. They offer some many sauces but I have yet to try them, Meat so good didn't want to cover up the flavors. My husband and 3 adult children all did try the sauces and their favorites were Smoky Mountain, KC Classic and Bay-B-Que. Everyone I have come with all loved what they have got, from the Brisket Sandwich, Spare Ribs, Pulled chicken and pork. Their food is so wonderful, but also reason why 5 stars is because what they do they raise money by selling special cups and $2 of the $3 they sell for support nonprofit organizations they do for First responder, and Military. The cups change every few months so you can get several. Also want a special treat every day at Noon the National Anthem plays and EVERYONE stops what they are doing and stands in silent to honor those that have served in the Military or First responder. The walls are decked out with these same people they raising money for, and if you have anyone in your family that was a First responder or military you can bring in "COPIES" of their picture and they will hang them on the walls. Many working here are Veterans also, they are very big about hiring them. I learned a lot about them when their Community Ambassador (Judy Morgan) Came up to me when I was taking picture of the Solider's Creed. She told me so much about the company and all was wonderful. Being from a Military family and have family still serving I was so happy to see a company like this doing so much for our Men & Woman who lay down their lives everyday for us. Just writing this making me want to go again tomorrow thinking about the food, gonna make sure to try the salmon for sure next time. read more

My husband and I tried Mission Barbque for lunch today and were not disappointed. It's only been open 3 days and they are doing a great job. First off it's done "The American Way" as it says on their sign. And they really mean it! Everything about this place screamed 'MERICA! They have so many different sauces to try so you can have a taste of Kanas City, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and even Maryland! (And more) I loved this idea because since we like so many different styles of bbq we can have a different taste every time we visit. The meat was smoked to perfection. I had the pulled pork sandwich and my husband the brisket sandwich. They asked him if he wanted his brisket cooked lean or moist. Meaning fatty or not so fatty. We thought this was also a great idea because you never really get to choose and my husband loves it both ways. I knew my dad would like this place because he's not a fan of the fat on a brisket, but he loves brisket! Their fries and mac and cheese were awesome as well. The service was fast and super friendly as soon as we walked in the door. You can grab a bottle of soda, for a nostalgic feel, or get a fountain drink. I loved that they had a spot for Veteran parking. You don't see that ever and I thought that was very thoughtful. You can buy a cup for $2 and every time you bring it back you get refills for 99¢ and the proceeds go to support the U.S.O. We will definitely be back! read more

Mission BBQ just opened in Clarksville Indiana off Veterans Parkway. And what a different approach to selling BBQ! It's all decked out in military paraphernalia with signs proudly displaying reminders of just how proud we should be of our country. I suppose BBQ is as American as our troops and first responders and police and fire departments. Whatever they were selling I bought into it. The menu is really simple with the original selection of BBQ dinners. Pulled pork briskets smoked turkey and of course ribs. You have a six pack of sauces to choose from if you want to alter your BBQ, I went with the hottest sauce I've ever encountered, I don't remember the name but I will never forget how hot and spicy it was. They offer vegetables and fries as sides and they also have some mighty fine cornbread. The offer beer tea water or sodas, Pepsi is their main distributor. I loved that, I am a big Pepsi fan! You just walk in step up to the counter and place your order, it's that simple! Welcome to Clarksville Mission BBQ, I've got a feeling you'll be here awhile! Loved you restaurant! read more
