    Brisket house salad
    Tiffanie G.

    Second time visiting but first time Ordering bbq salad. The salad itself is fresh with a huge portion but the meat added is lacking for the price you pay..$15 and they only give you one dressing. The staff member who did help me graced me with extra dressing without asking. Overall Service was swift and extremely helpful but I'm better off getting the platter with 2 sides and a drink. I won't make this same mistake again.

    Always a great meal at Mission BBQ. Friendly and professional service paired with great BBQ. What more can one ask for. I love that the theme inside is for their support of the military and first responders. We had the moist brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, Mac and cheese and baked beans with cornbread. Everything was fantastic. And one of the workers was kind enough to provide with a sample of the banana pudding and brownies. Both were delicious.

    Baby back ribs

    Very solid BBQ spot, despite being in a nondescript strip mall it has an authentic and welcoming feel. Loved the brisket and pulled pork, highly recommend both. The baby back ribs were incredibly tender, literally falling off the bone, the texture is amazing although the taste is a bit on the saltier side. Lots of great sides to choose from, we liked both the slaw and the mac and cheese. The selection of BBQ sauces is pretty amazing, they have every style from Mississippi to Texas. Price is quite reasonable as well, meats are all between $9 - 15, sides $3 - 5 each, and they don't harass you for tips. Will definitely be back!

    A little bit of Nashville in MD. Amazing service, delicious food, and great vibes. Family friendly and you had outdoor seating available. Got the brisket sandwich with the Mac and cheese as well as fries. Drenched it in the smoky mountain sauce I literally forgot to take pics of the other food orders when I went because I was just enjoying the delicious meal. Meat sweats for sure. Clean establishment. Sauces and everything you needed was at reach You have the option of lean or moist for your meats. First timer and can't wait to go back. Literally felt like martins bbq from Nashville was in germantown Md. Highly recommend.

    Rib, sweet potato pie

    I went to Mission BBQ because I had been craving BBQ for some reason. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants when it comes to BBQ but figured I'd give it a try. We walked in looking at the menu and the cashier Tony saw how wide eyed we were. He came from behind the counter and explained everything on the menu. By the time he was done we knew exactly what we wanted. We ordered the pull pork S and which, fries and baked beans with two ribs, sweet potato pie, 2 meats, coleslaw, mac and cheese and corn bread. My husband is a picky eater and was pleased by the flavor and options of BBQ sauce. The pulled pork sandwich had enough meat for two. The beans were flavorful and the fries were cooked and fresh. I am a fan of good fries. I will be back just to order fries for sure. There was a young lady (but I call her ma'am) who assisted with anything we needed once we sat down and I was moving a little slow due to previous week surgery and she was helpful in getting me what I needed so I didn't have to move around. Also the sweet potato pie flashed me back to my grandmas pie. It was very good filing. I will definitely go back when I fill that craving. The place was clean, well lit and the music was loud enough to hear but not loud enough youncoulsnt talk.

    Various BBQ choices.  My favorites are Texas Twang & Smoky Mountain

    Part 2 of 2 M alphabet series. M is for Mission BBQ: I love Mission BBQ, had been to this location a couple of times, and various other locations including Columbia, Laurel, etc. I was feeling depressed in January 2022 about something, and this was great comfort food. After walking out of Mezeh across the driveway on Saturday, August 27, I conveniently walked to Mission BBQ. See my 2-star review of Mezeh Germantown. The cashier & person who brings out the food here are friendly. Since losing weight since June, Mission BBQ doesn't follow that well with my diet, but it's not the worst for my diet either. So, after my negative experience with the Mezeh, I just went with Mission knowing it'd be great. I ordered the Lean brisket instead of the mix or fatty brisket. I still indulged on the mac n' cheese because their mac is excellent and by far my favorite side there. The brisket is delicious along with the mac n' cheese. There are a variety of 6 kinds of BBQ sauce, so you try each of them. They even have a Maryland BBQ!! It's not my favorite, but it's decent. I think my two favorites are Texas & West Virginia. As far as great BBQ in MD, that's a weakness for the state. However, Mission BBQ is great, solid BBQ place. It's the 2nd best BBQ I've had in MD. The best one in the Halethorpe area in Baltimore County. The atmosphere is comfortable in there. Well lit to see your food. Western style booths & decor. Additionally, lots of various Knick-knacks often supporting our military, fire fighters, police, etc. Supporting our first responders & military is their Mission statement ie give free sandwich or even meal on 9/11 for first responders, etc. Also, country music in the background, but it's not blaring either. Additionally, their sweet tea fresh, brewed & excellent. I didn't get in August since I'm dieting and sweet tea is very unhealthy with all the sugar. But having their sweet tea every once in a while is rewarding, but every day would be excessive. Also, the restroom was clean. The wide metal urinal is interesting. If someone's aim is so bad and miss that wide urinal, he is utterly hopeless. But as I said clean restroom, and that is most important thing. In summary, excellent food, great atmosphere, supports troops/first responders, and friendly staff.

    Husband and I dined at Mission BBQ to fulfill a craving and it did NOT disappoint! I ordered the baby back ribs and my husband ordered the brisket. Both were excellent and we enjoyed sampling all of the sauces with the meat. The only thing that was so so was the cornbread, but can you really complain when it's included with your entree? Service was fast and I would gladly eat here again.

    I never leave reviews but Mission BBQ in Germantown was TOO GOOD to not leave a review. My family and I just PCS'd here from Germany and we decided to try Mission BBQ. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Angela and told her it was our first time at Mission BBQ, she was absolutely amazing and made our family feel so so welcomed. Angela recommended foods , sauces , etc ... it was ALL AMAZING! She is amazing!! Then we met Stacy... Stacy was absolutely amazing!! She was so so friendly, helpful and her energy was just so uplifting! My 19 mo old daughter even absolutely loved her ! Aside from the food being amazing these 2 ladies are the reason we will be coming back regularly. Thank you ladies for making us feel so welcomed

    Wow! The bbq here is spectacular! Today I ordered the half slab of ribs with a side of Mac and…read morecheese and I didn't want to put it down. The ribs are tender and each bite is packed with the flavor. They're slathered with sauce which may be off putting to some. For me, it was that perfectly fine balance between enough and flooded. Oh and the portion size? Amazing! Definitely enough to get full for dinner. Pass out for a minute then finish the rest the next day. The Mac and cheese was great. No, these aren't hand made noodles but the amount of cheese, the seasoning, evening l everything else was done expertly. If you want to save yourself an hour or two of cooking mac and cheese at home, get it here. The atmosphere here is very home cooking. It doesn't feel like it's some massive cookie cutter operation. It's nostalgic. This is what comfort food is supposed to taste like. Eating it made me think about fun times with the family back in Florida. While I made the order online, I was greeted as soon as I walked up to the counter. My order was done exactly when it said it would be done and was made with my additional request. I couldn't it be happier and look forward to many more orders and glad to have this place in the neighborhood.

    First off, apologies to my visual reviewers…read more.. I didn't even think to take a photo until after I'd already taken a bite out of my catfish & a few scoops into my sides. As a lifelong Montgomery County resident, I know we don't usually come up in DMV soul food conversations... but My Cup Runneth Over Southern Cuisine needs to be part of that discussion. I was craving something fried but not "carryout fried," you know what I mean. I'm talking "fried fried".. seasoned, crispy, made with love. That's what I got. I add some breaded shrimp and hush puppies to round out the craving and it hit the "fried" spot. For my sides, I had to test the classics.. collards and mac. I needed to know if they were worthy.. and yes they ARE. They tied the whole meal together perfectly. Next time, I'm coming back for the wings. Trust me, this place deserves a seat at the soul food table in our area.

The restaurant itself is notably clean and well-ventilated, which is a plus for a table-side Korean BBQ experience. THE FOOD We ordered the Chadol Premium Combo, which featured five delicious cuts of Angus beef accompanied by a bowl of soybean soup, fresh lettuce leaves, large pink pickled daikon slices, and three standard dipping sauces. We also added a salad and the cheese corn to round out the meal. Overall, the meat quality was excellent. * Unmarinated Short Rib: Simple, high-quality, and quite tasty. * Boneless Ribeye: Prepared with rosemary and butter, making it an incredibly rich and flavorful bite. * Marinated Boneless Short Rib: Prepared with sesame and garlic. Because this cut is closer to the bone, it was flavorful and tender. As a bonus, the fried garlic left at the bottom of the pan after cooking was absolutely delicious. * Marinated Galbi Short Rib: Very tender and surprisingly flavorful without leaning too sweet, which was a great balance. * Pickled Chayote: Made with chopped onions and jalapeños. This side was refreshing and flavorful, serving as palate cleanser between rich bites of beef. THE SERVICE * Our server, Kaitlyn, took a no-nonsense, efficient approach to our meal. She helped start the grilling process and dropped by periodically to fire up the next batch of meats and refill our banchan and water. Tip: You have the option to cook everything yourself, but if you want assistance, simply flip the table sign to request help with the grill. OVERALL A clean environment for high-quality Korean BBQ with solid, efficient service and excellent cuts of meat.
