    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love that the theme inside is for their support of the military and first responders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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
    Hayward L.

    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
    Stacey K.

    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.

We went during lunch - service is friendly. GRILLED TURKEY PASTRAMI SANDWICH - $14.99 Turkey pastrami, provolone cheese, grilled onions on sourdough bread. Served w/ pickle, chips, & dijon mustard. Meat was salty but tasty! Removed the cheese but didn't miss it at all - very good sandwich! VEGETABLE & BEEF SOUP - $6.50 cup Tomato soup w/ ground beef & lots of veggies - very sweet & good. CHICKEN SALAD MELT $14.50 My sister always orders this and loves it. Served w/ pickle & chips. If you don't want to stand in the long line for the fried chicken, this restaurant is a great option. FYI they're only open Thu/Fri/Sat.

So I told our waiter that i dont want any tomatos on my sub. Guess what! He brings my sub and says oh you said no tomatos? I said yeah. We will make you and new one. He then comes back and asks if it's OK if I pick it off? No thanks. They brought out a new one but no fresh fries. The sub was dreadful. It wasn't thiny sliced steak it was more like ground beef chopped up. There was some sauce mixed in with the mayo. Do not order the Philly cheese steaks. Just awful. Our waiters were never refilled. I think our waiter was absentminded. Not sure if I would want to eat here. However stopping at the Beilers donuts made things better.

    George's Hot Pot & BBQ -- Authentic Asian Hotpot…read more I'm a serious hotpot fan, and George's really impressed me. The ingredients are super fresh -- crisp veggies, tender meats, and seafood that tastes like it came straight from the market. The broths are rich and flavorful, clearly made from real stock, not shortcuts. You can tell they care about quality -- clean setup, balanced sauces, and great attention to detail that true hotpot lovers appreciate. It's the kind of place where you can relax, cook, and enjoy authentic Asian flavors done right. And the BBQ is just as impressive. The meats grill perfectly -- tender, juicy, and thoughtfully seasoned. Definitely one of the best hotpot spots in Gaithersburg for anyone who values real quality and ingredients. I've tried plenty of hotpot places around, but this one's my choice for real quality and flavor.

    Versatile Chinese restaurant living up to its name. They have tables set aside for barbecue…read more(complete with ceramic table grills and over head ventilation). If not in the mood for it there is a hot pot menu (with table side burners for individual pots with broth that one cooks protein and veggies in). They also have a classic Chinese food menu one orders à la carte, where the dishes are made to order in the staff kitchen. One of the signature dishes is their Peking Duck. We didn't get the Duck, hotpot or bbq this time. Got 3 different entrees: jumbo salt shrimp, fried bean curd with vegetables and spicy chili fish filet. The fish had plenty of chili oil, dried chili, Napa cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, bean thread noodles and scallions accompanying. Was flavorful and numbing. The tofu dish was a solid vegetarian source, with fried soy braised tofu triangles, broccoli, mushrooms s, cabbage and carrots. The best dish is their shrimp. Large prawns with the shells on were fried in salt, pepper and chili powder. The shells were crispy and edible and absorbed the flavoring well. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and succulent. Great place, will need to try other dishes.
