Brisket sandwich and one rib
Iceguy B.

Tasty ribs and brisket Single ribs for as little as $3.50 each 6 sauces all very good

Jessica G.

I have visited Mission BBQ several times as it's near my home and I am never disappointed. I have always ordered the same thing, pulled smoked chicken, slaw and sometimes Mac and cheese. I gave it 4 stars this time only because the chicken was different this time. Still delicious but it wasn't as moist for some reason. The staff is always very nice and helpful and I like that they have outdoor seating because it's always FREEZING inside which I don't fault them for, I'm cold all of the time! I would absolutely recommend! OH, I almost forgot... the vinegar. I LOVE the vinegar!

Best BBQ in Fort Myers! The employees are friendly and courteous. The entrees are delicious! I always order their beef brisket (moist) along with their baked beans (although their Mac 'n Cheese is very good too). The walls are adorned with pictures of first responders, firefighters, policemen, and our wonderful military men and women. How can you not love and support a place like this? This time, like every other time, the food was excellent and the service exemplary. I highly recommend you check them out.

Brisket Sandwish with Freshly Cut Fries
Gerald S.

Hello and good afternoon. Well, it is Natural BBQ Day and as an repeated offender to the Fort Myers location, I could not have picked a better BBQ joint. By me being a US Navy veteran and retired LEO, I love the way Mission BBQ supports the US Military and LEOs , their continued support definitely goes a long way .‍ My brisket sandwich was cooked just right to accompany my BBQ brisket, I added the freshly cut dries. Keep up the great work, Mission BBQ

2 Meats and 2 sides.  Pulled Pork and Brisket with French fries & corn bread

Mmm where do I begin. So I've heard these are banging and I absolutely had to try. (We don't have in New York) so I stayed nearby in Iona area. And the food was indeed bangin' & the lady behind the counter was super nice and I tried all the BBQ sauces. Super good & would def go again

The staff and food at this location are simply amazing!! We stopped in for lunch today after getting married and taking photos this morning in Fort Myers. It was a spur of the moment decision but we're so glad we did. We received fast but amazing service, fresh and fantastic food and lots of congrats and well wishes from the staff. We even received complimentary dessert from Mr. Ben and team. Thank you for making our already special day even more special!!

I ordered a 2 meat plate. I had Turkey ave extra lean brisket with beans and green beans. The brisket was really good. My Turkey was dry. I liked the baked beans and green beans. They were flavorful. My husband had the ribs. He said they were tasty. They have 6 different sauces you can add to your meats. I went with Texas and Memphis. They were both good. I liked the Texas one best. I am from Texas so it's hard to find a really good barbecue place that's like Texas. I did enjoy my food. I would go back and recommend trying this place out.

Brisket, Potato Salad and Green Beans!
Nikki C.

This place don't play!! It's hands down the best BBQ I've ever had from a chain restaurant. I ordered a 1/2lb of brisket, with a side of green beans and potato salad and it was so very good. The brisket was smokey, tender and delicious. Really stole the show for sure. The service is great too, the whole staff is friendly and helpful. I even caught the manager walking around making sure we were all happy. Definitely going the extra mile. The atmosphere is great too. They pay homage to our veterans and those who serve, and I think that's great! Final verdict. This place rocks!!

We also ordered homemade giardiniera to put on the pizza. The restaurant was very busy, but the servers did a great job keeping up with everyone and were friendly and attentive.

The restaurant was clean, the prices were reasonable, and the bathrooms were clean, which is always a bonus! We had a very enjoyable experience and will definitely be back.

They offer a variety of delicious pizzas, including Chicago thin, Chicago deep dish, New York style, and Detroit style, all made with care. This cozy spot has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel like you're at a friendly neighborhood pizza joint, where you're more than just a customer. As I tried to choose, my eyes kept drifting to the different pizzas coming out, and each one looked and smelled incredible--I found myself torn because I wanted to try them all. I finally settled on the plain cheese deep dish with garlic, and oh my goodness, it was truly wonderful. Let's start with the crust -- it wasn't your typical plain crust. Nope! It had a wonderful flavor that made every bite special. The cheese was out of this world! I'm not sure exactly what they use, but it was incredibly delicious and comforting. The sauce! Oh my -- their sauce is the kind you'd want to savor on its own. We all know that the sauce is a key part of a pizza, and this one was exceptional. It wasn't too sweet or tangy, just a mild, delightful flavor that anyone could appreciate. After my first bite, I felt like I was in pizza heaven. The staff was so friendly and caring, checking in often and making me feel truly welcome. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this place--I promise you won't regret it. It's that good. I'm already planning to go back with my daughter because she loves pizza as much as I do, and I want her to experience this special spot too.

They spent 14 years on Sanibel Island before Hurricane Ian destroyed the original location in 2022. Chef Melissa Donahue and her team eventually rebuilt the concept in Fort Myers, opening their new Summerlin Road location in 2025. Chef Melissa also made Southwest Florida culinary history as a 2019 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: South, becoming the first Lee County chef to receive that recognition. Here's what we enjoyed from the Sizzle Dining menu: * Wedge Salad -- bleu cheese crumbles & bleu cheese vinaigrette * Cornmeal Crusted Cod Bites -- malt vinegar aioli * Grilled 6 oz. Flat Iron Steak -- crispy fingerling potatoes, caramelized cipollini onions, sautéed spinach & demi-glace * Roasted Salmon -- creamy banana lentils & blood orange gastrique * Key Lime White Chocolate Bread Pudding -- mixed berry coulis & key lime crème anglaise * Banana Pecan Strudel -- banana & pecans wrapped in phyllo dough with caramel gelato (My Top 3 Dessert during Sizzle) The food was delicious from beginning to end, and knowing the story behind Sweet Melissa's makes the experience even more special. This is why we do Sizzle Dining, helping more people discover independently owned restaurants and the talented people behind them. Eat Local.

The menu is eclectic and definitely not for the timid diner because most items are definitely on the creative side as opposed to traditional preparations. My Waygu burger came with a sweet jam and all the fixings and hand cut fries. I definitely recommend Sweet Melissa's because of its unique menu, and fabulous service. And they have a three course meal special with dessert now for 49,00. Enjoy...,

Lots of parking in the lot, not much going on around however definitely worth checking out if you're craving something good breakfast or a sandwich. The establishment isn't too big however they do offer some benches and a few areas where you can enjoy your food, most people seem to place an order for take out. They are cashless, and have a cute gender neutral restroom. I went with their Jersey special breakfast sandwich and added egg to it, wow so delicious, being from NJ myself I'm always looking for a great Taylor ham sandwich without having to visit back up north.. my fiancé got their Cheech & Chong and loved it! My son and his gf had the Wally's cheesesteak and Sedona sunrise and both VERY GOOD. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Very excited to have found this place and we will definitely come back soon for breakfast and or lunch!

Service was okay, could have been more attentive but overall not terrible. All food came out decently quick after ordering. We got the garlic bread and calamari appetizers. They both came with a very generous portion of marinara sauce, especially the garlic bread. We also got teriyaki wings and a pork tenderloin sandwich. The wings were great and a good size. I asked for extra crispy and they delivered just that. I love that the side of blue cheese it came with was a big, suitable size for the large wings. My husband really enjoyed his pork tenderloin sandwich and said it was the best one he's had to far from any restaurant. Overall a good experience here. I feel like Fort Myers lacks nice casual restaurants like this one. We will definitely return and try outside seating next time. :)
