I love this place. We're meeting up with the grandparents and me and the two Littles were sitting at the table, holding the table and one of the hostesses just walked up with a thing of fries and said would you guys like some fries. I didn't order them and it was good for the kiddos. That is caring how kids feel, that is Superior service. I love the atmosphere. It's very pro veteran and pro-American and it feels like a place where they love the things I love. They have excellent barbecue brisket barbecue pork. I love their sides. The corn is good. My sweetie says she is enjoying the biscuit and the green beans are like melting your mouth. She says she is really enjoying those. She's sampling the sauces as she works away through it. She likes the South Carolina one best so far cause she's a fan of the mustard. They have good options for the kiddos with mac & cheese or other kiddos centric sandwiches. They have small slider sandwiches for the kiddos. My oldest says this: the mac & cheese is not box mix. It is made in house. The pulled pork sandwich is very tasty. I'd like the smoky flavor. The waitress also brought out some Cajun corn samples, I'm not a very spice loving person. Corn was good, but I didn't finish it. All in all the food was tasty. My second oldest says: I got mac & cheese and it's really good. It is not box mix actually it's made of real cheese and I also got the turkey sandwich which is really tasty. It's not overcooked and it's not undercooked. It's like perfect and there's none of those disgusting micro plastic filled cheese in it, which is really nice. My mom gave me a bit of her cornbread and it's really sweet and also a bit savory too, which is like the perfect combination and it's it's pretty good. Grandma says the food is very good. She likes the seasonings on it. She got collard greens with it and says they are excellent. Personally, I'm pretty jealous because although I enjoyed the Cajun corn, I didn't know they had collard greens. read more

Upon walking up, the boarded up door was a lil jarring. The interior was standard for Mission. The woman at the register was pretty dry, but the other woman expediting orders more than made up for her coworker's flat affect. She was warm, energetic, and courteous. I had never tried their burger before, and I ordered the mac & cheese which I normally love, and a side salad to go with it. The burger was slightly under seasoned, but it was thick and juicy, and overall pretty good. The mac wasn't bad, it just didn't quite taste the same, but the salad was crisp and fresh. Decent experience at this location. read more

Bald White Guy Reviews - First Review! MISSION BBQ - Mason, OH Rating: ‍‍‍‍ (4 out of 5 Bald Heads) Had to run an errand today and decided to meet up with my University of Cincinnati student son for a quick lunch. He suggested Mission BBQ in Mason. I'd never been, so while waiting on my lunch guest, I did what any modern diner does--scoped out the menu online www.mission-bbq.com. Brisket, pulled meats, fries, and all the fixin's. Sweet tea, lemonade, and a soda lineup that could make a gas station jealous. Pulling into the lot, the first thing I noticed--besides the fact that my stomach was already growling--was the smell of the smoker drifting through the air like a meaty siren song. The exterior was spotless, and the military/first responder theme was clear before I even walked in. Inside, it's a tribute wall of service--military photos, law enforcement, fire, and EMS patches (I'm guessing donated by patrons). As a first responder myself, I appreciated the respect baked into the atmosphere. Pro tip for first-timers: You order at the counter, grab your own drink, and find a seat. When your food's ready, they call your name and bring it to you. Simple, efficient, and no awkward "who's my server?" moments. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, fresh-cut fries, and a sweet tea. The pork? Tender, smoky, and full of that slow-cooked depth that makes you want to close your eyes for a second bite. The fries? Fresh Cut, Golden, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside--basically the potato equivalent of a standing ovation. On the table: a BBQ sauce tour of America--Texas Twang, Smoky Mountain, Memphis Belle, KC Classic, South Carolina Zing, and my personal favorite, Tupelo Honey Heat (sweet, spicy, and just dangerous enough to keep you coming back). Bonus points for the vinegar bottle--perfect for fries, just like the county fair. Mid-meal, an employee came around offering samples of their corn casserole. I'm not saying it changed my life, but I wouldn't turn it down if it showed up at my table again. The verdict: $34 for two lunches. The frugal side of me thinks that's a bit steep for a quick bite, but let's be honest--everywhere's pricey these days. The food was solid, the atmosphere was genuine, and the service was warm. Mission accomplished. I will go back for sure. If you in the area it is worth the stop! First Responders - Take a uniform patch from your department to add to the wall! Final score: 4 Bald Heads. Not 5--because my wallet still remembers. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I really like the look and feel of this place. Order at the counter meal was ready before I grabbed my fountain drink. Nice selection of sauces at the table, I prefer to taste the meat but they were pretty good. I had the two meat platter pork and brisket and added a couple ribs to get a feel for their meats. Brisket was offered moist or lean, of course I went with moist. Nice flavor and seasoning, I would prefer a bit more bark but tasty. Pulled pork was moist but needed sauce not much flavor. The pork ribs were the stand out for me, meaty bite off the bone. I really liked the decor and the challenge coins in the table were very cool. Overall a solid place and I look forward to retuning read more

Mission knows how to B-B-Q! Great selection of meats and sides. We tried a pulled pork sandwich with side of corn casserole and a pulled chicken sandwich with a side of fries. Order at the counter, take a seat, then they call your name when it's ready. The food was delicious. Meats were tasty. Corn casserole was awesome, and the fries were crispy. They have six sauces to choose from, all on the table. My favorites were Smoky Mountain and Memphis Belle. Some of the best BBQ I've had in a while. Service was also excellent and they took time to walk us through their process. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Love this place. Been twice now and the food is just really simple and well made. No frills, just good BBQ. The restaurant has good music playing, self seating after you order. Service was fast and everybody treated us like they actually sincerely appreciated the business. read more

I can't help myself, they deserve it. A full 5 stars with absolutely everything really awesome! A bit of a tardy review from early May. Front end service was strong at the register. The staff assisted me with a selection of something I never tried. No issues processing my card. The dining room was spic and span and in no time my order was called. Love that they crank out such delicious food quickly and with a smile. My salmon was amazing!!! Also fresh side salad so yum. Decided to go back up for their legendary peach cobbler since my entree was on the healthy side. Do not miss this season desert in the Spring. I've never found a poor Mission BBQ before. They are always in the four plus category for me. Totally recommend the Miamisburg location. read more

I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. My best friend and I stopped in for dinner. He got the brisket sandwich and I got the smoked burger. The place is decorated in military memorabilia, but I will say this. The food was very good and I can't wait to come back and try other items. I will say this, the smoked burger and fries are very good I will say maybe the best flavored burger I have had. And I love fresh fries. I had the lemonade and sweet tea. read more

Really good! Unlike the other popular barbecue joint in the area, these meats don't need sauce, although they have a lot to choose from. The flavors are on point and not overcooked. We have tried most of the sides and they are great. My favorite is the sausage. Staff are very nice. There is always someone on the floor cleaning, checking on customers and helping people. Highly recommend. read more

The pulled pork and brisket was delicious. The Mac and cheese was fabulous, although the portion was pretty small. The salmon was not good at all....very dry and really no flavor. We also thought the food was over priced. We do not plan to return due to these reasons. The service was great!!! A staff member was amazing in explaining the process of how the menu worked. She was very helpful! And the place is very nice with some amazing decor.....but the food just wasn't what we expected upon our 1st visit. read more

Love the concept of mission bbq and their patriotism. When you arrive you get in line and order your food. They give you a number and someone brings it out to you. The meat was tender and good but not very hot. There are several different sauce options on the table which is nice. You get corn bread with your meat and I ordered a side of mac and cheese. The cornbread was dry and the mac and cheese tasted like kraft out of the box. Nice place but not the best food. read more

What a find. I was driving around and saw this and took a chance. Super happy I did as the bbq was the best I had in Ohio. The pulled pork was soft and no need for sauce. The staff was amazing and the seating is first come first serve but that was easy. They have a military style set up and honor the military throughout the place. Great find and I will be back read more

Everyone working here was very nice. The service was great as was the food. The atmosphere is patriotic with customers standing for the National Anthem while I was there. As a veteran I appreciated this immensely. Although they do not offer a veteran, or military discount, they DO have a veterans VIP club linked on their site. I got a free (huge) sandwich of my choice from the sandwich menu - delicious! I'm local to this place, and it was my first visit, and I assure you it will not be my last. A definite strong recommendation is warranted. If you haven't been and you like bbq joints, it would be a travesty to not check this place out! read more

Mission BBQ - From the entrance in a corner. To the left out of sight is a wall full of booth seating. - Barbeque Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Great location, great service, and amazing food. Easy and plenty of parking, the inside is roomy, welcoming, and very clean. The aroma to when you walk in will make your mouth water. The owner/manager I am not sure which he was but very nice and was involved on making sure everyone was happy. I love salmon and yes I know who orders salmon at a BBQ restaurant but I seen in an had to. Probably the best I have ever had. Juicy, large portion, smokey, and full of flavor. 10/10 recommend. The fries and banana pudding was also amazing and will definitely order again. read more

Great service and food! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. I had the brisket and it was tender and well seasoned. Great place for families. And their mission to support law enforcement and military is something I want to support. read more

I made my first and only visit to Mission barbecue about six weeks or so ago with my sister and my father. Both my dad and I are vets in appreciate the concept of the place in regards to that We received a great welcome and great service but sad to report that I was just not impressed whatsoever with the meal My dad had the same thoughts so we will not be returning. I wish their store the best and it appears that enough people frequent this business with good reviews and seem to like the food and barbecue that serve and they should do fine moving forward as a business It just wasn't my idea of good food read more

Pulled pork is good. My husband likes the brisket. Really pricey for what you get. $21.87 for picture below. And please invest in some pagers. The woman literally screams out the name of the order that's ready. You can hardly place your order with the person behind the counter. read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled pork, brisket, and one side of beans. Also a water and one soft drink not included in photo. $21.87!! - Barbeque Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Last time I was there, the experience was not the best, but I reached out to Mission BBQ. They got involved immediately. Joe Laisure, the Dayton area Director of Operations along with the founder of Mission BBQ, Stephen Newton, got involved personally. They sent me coupons for a meal on the house to correct the mistakes of my last visit. Let me assure you, it was a great second visit. The food rocked, and I did not have to deal with the rude employee from last time. All the other employees were very friendly and fast in serving me. It was a great experience at the restaurant itself, and the food was top notch, zero mistakes. Thanks for being so interested in the customers, Mission BBQ. It is rare to see that kind of care these days. read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket and dry ribs from Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Was immediately greeted upon entering and found the place very clean. Definitely could smell the smoker smoking meat which is important for a bbq place. The counter individual was very nice, pleasant and helpful. After ordering we found a place to sit which was also clean. They actually had a person in the dining area cleaning up tables as people left. Nice to see they like a clean environment. Food was really good and enjoyed the brisket sandwich I had. Mac & Cheese was a bit dry for me but others at the table enjoyed theirs. Tried all 6 sauces at the table and are good. My favorite though was one you ask for since mayonnaise base mixed with horseradish. That one is a winner. Will definitely be back for another try. Hopefully still compares to this visit. read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I visit Dayton quite often and was very happy to see a Mission BBQ coming to town. I have been to Mission in Nashville and Louisville. I have always had a great experience and the portions were enough to feed me and have enough to share. My experience here was completely different. We ordered double brisket it looked to be enough for a sandwich. The baked beans with brisket had one small piece of brisket. The only bright spot of the meal was the fries. Lastly, I don't how the tea had no taste at all. This place is relatively new, I hope they make necessary changes, because this Mission BBQ pales in comparison to others. read more

We've been coming to Mission BBQ since it opened. Great food, outstanding service and everyone truly seems to be happy working in the establishment. To date we've had: turkey sandwiches, brisket sandwiches, pulled chicken, pulled pork, wings, baked beans, Mac n cheese, green beans and the outstanding fresh cut fries. All the sauces are tasty. We've ordered catering for several events, never a bad meal, highly recommend read more

Solid BBQ. Restaurant has a lot of room and is very clean. Employees are very nice and helpful. You can taste the meats before you order them which is nice. Kind of expensive. Mac n cheese is really good. The Memphis bbq sauce is great. Ribs are awesome. Pork is ok. read more

Mission BBQ Centerville OH Two friends passionate about BBQ, and patriotic for Our Country, and who believe in running a business with meaning and purpose have opened a BBQ chain, and we were eager to support the Mission and to enjoy very good BBQ. Located near the Dayton Mall, this new BBQ has large parking and an seating in a small interior. Mission BBQ manifests a military ambience, and this is a good thing. Expect counter service; we are not fans of counter service, but we are ribs fans. Expect that someone will yell your name across the dining room when order is prepared. The owners must know there are several alternatives to yelling. Try texting to phones or even do table delivery. Not much service in this restaurant. Menu limited to BBQ items and a few sides; looking forward to trying the salmon. Baby back ribs delicious and tender. Not a date night with your wife restaurant, but a decent BBQ experience. read more

Went the first time a couple days ago. So good went back next day. Definitely a place we will frequent. Fabulous food!!!

This Mission BBQ is awesome. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The service is quick as well. While this BBQ is a chain, it does have some of the best BBQ around. I love their sausage, but you can't go wrong with anything here. read more

Excellent. You hear so many bbq places say "fall off the bone ribs" yours did. All great: fries, pork butt, ribs, slaw and beans. I was asked 3 times, how I was doing, by both Brie and the manager. Great flavor and great bark on the meats. Bravo read more

Bleh. Tasteless and expensive at more than one location. Tastes like it was made in a New Jersey factory by people who have never tasted real barbecue. read more

Great food, great people and great atmosphere. being a disable veteran, I especially appreciate their support of our homeless veterans.

Some of the best bbq since we visited Texas. Service we great and the theme is amazing. Military vet theme. Only thing is. You need to offer military discount. read more

Our new favorite bbq place. Everything was delicious and service was good. There was a manager walking around making sure everyone was good and she was extremely nice and welcoming. The meat was very good as well as sides. Only complaint is that we got a decent amount of fat on our brisket which was annoying for the price you pay but we still ate it. Just wish there was less fat. It was $45 for everything pictured. This was my partners 4th time coming and he loves it. This was my first time and I would happily return. read more
