Great BBQ, Fantastic Sides, and Enough Sauce to Keep Everyone Happy! I've been to plenty of barbecue joints over the years, and Mission BBQ in Deptford definitely knows what it's doing! I ordered the five ribs with fries and macaroni and cheese. Everything was delicious. Good barbecue doesn't need to be complicated. Give me some tasty ribs, a couple of solid sides, and I'm a happy man. One of the girls working there came around offering free samples of their mashed potatoes. Let me tell you something, those mashed potatoes were phenomenal! Honestly, I might have to order them next time instead of the fries. But one of my favorite things about this place is the barbecue sauce selection. Every table has several different regional sauces, from Texas to Kansas City to the Smoky Mountains. You can experiment, mix things up, and use as much as you want. No begging your server for another tiny cup of sauce. That's how barbecue should be! The atmosphere is casual, the staff is friendly, and the whole place has that great American barbecue joint feeling. My only regret? I should've taken more pictures before digging in! Five stars. Great food, great concept, and I'll definitely be back. If you enjoyed this review, check out The 856 Scene, a South Jersey podcast I proudly write for.

Not really sure what happened to this place. When it first opened quality was very good and now it is very bad. The aroma has a very gamey stench to it that can't be masked with any amount of bbq sauce. The mac and cheese lost its richness and tastes watered down. I also don't appreciate the overt military theme that has nothing to do with bbq unless you've ever eaten in a mess hall. To end on a positive, the staff is friendly and Lumpy's bbq is only 10 minutes away. read more

As soon as you walk in the door, the staff far into the kitchen make sure you are greeted as if you're walking into a family member's home. The menu is very simple and easy to order from with options for all the meat lovers. There are also salmon and shrimp options for those who don't eat red meat. The lemonade is my favorite (homemade). They smoke their own meat every day right out front of the restaurant too. Great ambiance is inviting and relaxed with staff floating around making sure every person feels the true Texas spirit that is just cozy. Shoutout to Dan and Kelli for being so awesome and making our community experience above and beyond. read more

I went here on 5/27 with my uncle and it was a great experience. The cashier was extremely sweet and let me sample a few things because I was very indecisive! The broccoli salad was delicious and so was the pulled pork. A very nice girl kept making her way around all the tables making sure everyone had what they needed. 10/10 would definitely recommend, I will for sure be back! read more

The food was tasty but not very hot. The customer service was superb! There are plenty of tables and it got very busy during lunch time. I will come back again, hoping the food comes out a little hotter this time. read more

The Yard Chicken was stupendous! I tried two sauces with it - KC and Memphis Belle. Both were really yummy! I should've taken a picture of the literally skin and bones that were left! I never eat chicken on the bone to this extent! I don't normally eat baked beans but didn't want to blow my low carb thang! They were really good! (My dog got the cornbread that I was drooling for). I bet you usually don't see bathroom pictures on Yelp reviews ... I just couldn't get over the cleanliness and even the overall beauty! So far the winners for me from Mission are this chicken and their salmon! (Not a fan of the pulled chicken sandwich). Im taking the parents here next time! read more

Very fast and pretty good if you like BBQ. Nice mix of meet that is quite tender. Good atmosphere too. read more

You can expect good food served fast with very friendly service, I have only at M BBQ, twice, and both times at this location. The ribs, brisket (they serve second cut a definite plus) are both very good, and the cole slaw is terrific. It's very nice to go into a restaurant that honors veterans, police, fire, and other first responders, with a great patriotic atmosphere that we sorely need in America today. read more

Mission BBQ will always be fighting an uphill battle for my top BBQ place, because Sweet Lucy exists, but they are at least a worthy consolation if I can't get across the bridge. The food here is good, not earth shattering, but they have a ton of sauces, and a very good moist brisket. They ARE a bit expensive, but so is all BBQ. Their mac and cheese was eaten by my daughter, which gives them a star right there, because you've never met a bigger mac and cheese snob than my little one! I wasn't a big fan of their blueberry cobbler, but maybe that's just me. I felt the cornbread was dry. The place itself has been PACKED every time I have gone. It seems to be a very popular spot to eat in Deptford. I particularly don't like their set up, where you order, then just kind of stand in the way while they make your food. They need some kind of waiting area, but I get that that would take up seating. Still, it's annoying just being in everyones way while they try to get drinks, and sauces etc, or to order their food. The inside is exactly what you would expect from a BBQ joint, with a big ol 'Merica vibe; wood, wood and more wood. Country music. Flags. License plates. Etc. Another bright spot is that this place is positively committed to veterans. It might be the only place that I feel the "thank you for your service" isn't just lip service. They have a club that you can sign up for if you are a veteran. Which reminds me, I have a free sandwich I need to go get! read more

Fantastic barbeque place. Chain restaurant with local flair. Brisket was incredible. Also loved the pulled pork. Thank you for your service.

Patriotic, tasty and convenient! Mother's Day photograph and gift. Love the military vehicle display and patriotism at noon. read more

Service is great. Food is average. I had the meat sampler, pulled pork and brisket with Mac & cheese and a drink. $20. Doesn't appear to be a lot of food or worth the price. It was filling. Meat was luke warm at best. Mac & cheese was really good. The corn bread was ok. Butter was frozen so couldn't apply it to the bread without it breaking all apart. I tried all 6 sauces and enjoyed each one. Texas twang, Memphis Belle and tupelo honey heat were my favorites. Overall, just avg. Not the best for bbq. read more

My husband and I were traveling and stopped here for the first time at a Mission BBQ. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. Loved trying the different style bbq sauces. They gave us desserts for being first timers. Loved that everything is made fresh, that there is no freezers or microwaves on the premises. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again. Will be looking for other Mission bbq destinations. read more

I always hear about this bbq spot so I finally decided to stop in. Upon walking in, the staff was super friendly- which is always a good start. I got a pulled pork sandwich with a side of fries and mac and cheese. I've heard their corn bread is really good, but I didn't get the chance to try any. The food itself that I did have was all pretty tasty, and I am not usually the biggest bbq fan. I liked all of their signature sauces as well. For me, the reason for 4/5 stars is their prices. In my opinion, their prices here are more like dine-in prices- not pick up at the counter and sit down prices. But, overall, I would come back and maybe try another item next time. read more

As a first time visit the welcome and customer service was phenomenal!!!! And it made the food that much better. The Brisket was juicy and left my palette wanting more. I'm already planning my next visit and and what my order is going to be lol (but I'm so serious). The staff takes very good care of you and makes sure you have a smile on your face. read more

The staff were super friendly and helpful, made the experience great! The food was also great!

Fast food BBQ. Not a restaurant. We need one up north! Totally great though! Everyone enjoyed their meal (even the teenagers!). If you aren't sure about a side, they will gladly provide a sample! Not cheap, but quality was worth it! read more

Best BBQ in Jersey. North Carolina style. The pulled pork is always lean and perfectly smoked. The brisket is lean and tender. The sides are delicious and taste homemade. Don't forget the desserts, small portion but they are very good. Highly recommend! The employees are always attentive and accommodating. read more

Fantastic food Fantastic drinks every thing about this place is FANTASTIC!!!!! The brisket is the best part

The food is always great. The service is always great. The price per portion ratio is too high. I can appreciate the quality of the food but the prices keep this place from being an everyone's go to for lunch kind of place. read more

BBQ is rare to find in the Northeast but I came across Mission BBQ on my way from leaving the mall. The service was amazing, Kayla was super sweet. Chatting with me, answering my questions and even giving me some cornbread (which was so delicious and fluffy). I got the pulled pork sandwich which was tender. The star of the show is the sauces at the table, which I took my time putting a different one with each bite. I was still hungry (the portions tend to be a bit small). I got the pulled chicken and Mac and cheese. Both were pretty good but the mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, still decent though. I would probably swing by here if I have some time to sit down. read more

Stopped here for lunch with my family on the way down the shore. I have been to other Mission BBQ locations but not this one. If you haven't been to one by now, this is a fast casual BBQ chain, you order at the counter and they call you when it is ready. They have all the typical BBQ options. All the different BBQ meats (most can also be ordered on a sandwich), along with the typical BBQ sides. I ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The portions were generous and the food was delicious. You can also buy special reusable cups from here that give you $.99 cent refills, we have them but never remember to bring them. Overall, this place is pretty pricey for fast food. For 2 entrees and 2 kids meals we ended up spending $45. But I guess eating out with a family is getting to be expensive anywhere. The location was clean and seemed to be well run. The workers were friendly and gave great service. I also love all the military, police, and fire memorabilia here. Solid place to get some BBQ. read more

The food is great but the service is outstanding. Our family dined in the Deptford location on this past Saturday night. Joanne M went above and beyond to help us with our trays and make us feel at home in the restaurant. She is a great employee. We enjoyed our visit very much because of her. The food was very good as well. We will definitely return again. A great experience all around! read more

I guess unless you smoke your own ribs you what a good rib taste like. As far as their baked beans and briskets it was drowned in bbq sauce. $40 for 10 ribs and quart is beans overpriced and flavor taste like a commercial kitchen product read more

I have been using Mission BBQ catering for a few years, and I have to say their employees and flexibility is amazing. Highly recommended for parties! read more

There is nothing special about the flavor and the meat is not tender. And the service was weird.

Here's the thing - this is New Jersey and Mission BBQ is a franchise - so immediately people think that there is no way it is going to be good. So wrong! This place gets such a smoke flavor into its brisket, they must be using cheat codes. All their meats are always flavorful, there is a great variety of sides and the sweet tea - I could drink that by the gallon. For anyone looking for a good BBQ experience, check this place out. Try the 2 meat plate with lean brisket and Pulled Chicken - get a side of Mac and Cheese as well. read more

I don't think you can go wrong with anything off of the Mission BBQ menu. As you can guess by the name, their specialty is BBQ. I personally love the sandwiches here, the brisket is my favorite. To go along with the various entrees, are multiple side options. The sides range from salads to mac and cheese- you can't go wrong with any of them. They also serve seasonal items- my personal favorite is the peach cobbler. Beyond delicious- warm peaches with a crunchy topping. In addition to their awesome restaurant- Mission BBQ offers catering. The catering is priced well, and the staff are very easy to work with. I have been personally working with Chelsea. She is great with communication and super responsive - plus she set up a tasting that was out of this world. So aside from all the awesome food offerings, Mission BBQ is the kind of company you want to support & see succeed. A quick search on their website will show you all of the awesome organizations they support. read more

YES, I craved the COLLARD GREENS sooo bad from my first takeout order from Mission BBQ in Deptford the other night (read my previous review) that when my hubby asked what are we doing for dinner tonight, I gave him that look that lets him know I want something, lol! So, I said Those Yummy Collard Greens before they change their sides. (Again, they had told me that they change the "Seasonal Sides" every 6 weeks). I called first to make sure they still had them. A different girl answered this time who was also so nice and accommodating as I asked not only if they my My Collards but also how I could order just sides of that for me. She explained the sizes, then put me on hold for a brief second to see if they had what I wanted to order which was 2 quarts (no, I can't eat that much in 1 sitting...just wanted plenty for not only me but the family if they wanted some....although I do secretly hope to eat them all myself over the next few days, lol!) She got back on the phone with me and offered to put it aside for me! I was so happy to accept that and just let her know hubby would come to pick those up and also pick an XXL Combo for himself. Hubby came home with the 2 One Qt containers of the Yummy Collard Greens with sides of the yummy vinegar sauce we add to it plus his meal which was a Half of Chicken & his sides of baked beans with corn bread. Again, Mission BBQ is off the hook!! 5 Stars read more

Phil and his team were AMAZING at the Deptford, NJ Mission BBQ! Food was EXCELLENT!!!

I was back home​ visiting family and stopped by for lunch with my family. I had heard great things about Mission and this location and others and had pretty high expectation. The staff was​ really nice, they explained​ the concept and menu well. After going back and forth looking at a lot of delicious option,s I decided​ on the Black Plate Special. They were serving a Pastrami Smoked Brisket, I had it as a platter with two sides. There was a decent portion of meat with a nice mix of tender meat a​ rich fat, and a side of very flavorful mustard​. The meat was very tender but really​ lacked the bold flavors from pastrami, at needed more of that peppery, coriander​ flavor. The two sides were also lacking- the potato salad was bland and just OK, ​and the coleslaw​ was nothing​ special. I found it expensive for the quality of what you got. read more

Mission BBQ - 3 meat XL combo: Yard bird chicken, B-back ribs, Jalapeño & Cheese Sausage, Chicken is the best and spicy! - Salad Near Me - Deptford Township, New Jersey

This is my first visit to this restaurant, but not my first visit to the franchise. I ate at another Mission BBQ in another state. This place is a homerun. The staff is friendly and helpful. My wife and I got here around 5 pm. There was no line, at 5:30 pm it got crowded. The staff moves the patrons through at a fast rate. If you get here and there is a long libe, be patient! It's worth the wait. We both got the 3 meat platter, I had 2 turkey and 1 brisket portion (lean cut). Green beans and maggie's mac-n-cheese with a large sweet tea. Dessert, one of their large brownie slices and a sample of the coconut creme pie. My wife had the baby back ribs (5 bones), brisket and chicken and a sweet tea. We both enjoyed our dinners. You get enough food to fill you up. You won't leave here disappointed or hungry. They take cash or credit/debit also. One thing I would suggest is trying the "Alabama White sauce" on the side to dip your turkey into. Its a mayonnaise based sauce that really goes well with the turkey. I will definitely eat at this particular mission BBQ again! My wife and I got complimentary brownie slices. Because of our military affiliation! We really appreciated the kind gesture! read more
