Decided to stop by Mission BBQ on our way in to town for lunch and it definitely didn't disappoint! Mark helped us tremendously was outstanding! The entire staff was extremely friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The décor and overall atmosphere really honor the military and first responders, which gives the place a great patriotic feel. The food was outstanding--juicy, moist, and fall-apart tender. Easily a 5-star meal! We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket sandwich and Mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

Daughter of a naval officer and Vietnam veteran that I am and sister of a retired fire chief, I felt comfortable in a space dedicated to heroes. There was no end to the memorabilia to explore as you enjoy your meal. They hired staff who make you feel welcome, as if you have walked into a special space and they're glad you get to enjoy it with them. We stopped by on our way to the movies, my husband, daughter, and her stepsister. I ordered a small portion of baby back ribs and a side of macaroni and cheese, à la cart. I was told that this was a kid's meal, basically. Although it wasn't much, it certainly was filling. My husband ordered the sausage, also à la carte, and my daughter ordered brisket and ribs and a side of macaroni and cheese and her stepsister ordered two meats (I don't remember which) and greens. Everything comes out on the same large tray that seems to dwarf your meal, but all walked away with full bellies - as was evidenced by the fact that nobody felt like ordering popcorn when we got to the movie theater. The fun part was sampling the different sauces. There's like six of them. We tried to do taste tests on all of them but we got confused. Here's a tip: bring a pen so you mark down on your parchment paper which is which. I've only dropped a star because in the world of Goodyear adjacent BBQ, I gotta give it to Rudy's because I think they give you a slightly larger portion for the amount that we paid. And their moist brisket is moister. But, Mission has a much better selection of sodas and interesting sides. Do check it out yourself. They have a nice concept and, as stated, nice people. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbecue brisket sandwiches with Mac n cheese and their sauces! - Barbeque Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

We ordered 2 brisket sandwiches-lean. One looked chopped, so we told our server; Cole and he immediately apologized and brought us another sandwich and a free sandwich coupon for our next visit. Great customer service! The brisket was very tender and tasty. The Mac & cheese tasted homemade and the beans were pretty good. We were brought a free order of their Freedom Fries which were a little spicy and very tasty. I love the armed service, veteran decor. And if you buy a souvenir cup you can bring it back and $ off your drink. Definitely a recommend! read more

Really solid first impression at Mission BBQ! My friends and I went for dinner on a Friday evening around 7pm. The restaurant was busy but we had no issues getting a table. We don't eat BBQ frequently & were excited when this place was announced. The restaurant is counter service, so you order your food at the counter, find a table, and they call your name when it's ready. The employee taking our order was very helpful. He explained the menu and answered our questions. The food was ready extremely quickly! I'd say we were waiting no longer 5 minutes. It was all hot & fresh. We each got a Meat Sampler plate with 2-3 meats. We also upgraded to combos for the sides & drink. The 3 meat sampler & XXL combo (which comes with 2 sides) is going to set you back about $30. This sounds like a lot, but for me it was so worth it. I got the Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Jalapeño & Cheese Sausage. For sides I got the Fresh Cut Fries and the Mac-N-Cheese. Our group also tried the Collard Greens, Green Beans, and Blueberry Cobbler. All the food was excellent. My favorite meats were the brisket and the pulled pork. I probably wouldn't get the sausage again - just wasn't for me. For the Brisket you can choose either moist or lean cuts. The moist is more fatty, but so flavorful. All the sides were delicious. The only side which received slight criticism were the Collard Greens - reportedly under-seasoned. The fries are excellent, especially if you get them seasoned! Portion size is very good. The photos look deceiving because of the trays, but there is a lot of food. No one in our group left hungry. The customer service was probably some of the best I've experienced for a counter-service restaurant. Throughout the entire meal, staff checked up on us, seeing if needed anything, even bringing us samples to try of other menu items. Everyone was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Great first experience. Already looking forward to returning to try something else off the menu! read more

Mission BBQ - 2 meat combo with one side and a drink - Barbeque Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

Food was delicious! Brisket was my favorite! Service was even better! Rene and May took care of us. We had a table full of littles and they made sure we had everything we needed so we didn't have to keep getting up read more

The place was busy for 4:00pm on a Thursday. I got the brisket plate with two sides. Truthfully, the brisket was on the dry side. The baked beans and mac and cheese were very good. Temperature of meat and sides could have been much hotter. It was lukewarm at best. The cornbread was cold. Would think the cornbread would be kept in a warming drawer before serving. Staff were very friendly! read more

I ordered the 5 bones baby back ribs and they gave me 10 which I was pleased but the meat was wayyyy too salty . I tried rinsing it off but it didn't help. The meat was very tender too I was very disappointed I really wanted to enjoy this meal, but just too salty for me, I couldn't finish it. read more

We really enjoyed eating here for the first time. I scored what I thought was a huge 7.9. The two teens scored 8.3 and 8.5 and then Mommy scored a whopping 8.7. Six different BBQ sauces at rhe table which were awesome. We go off the One Bite Everybody knows the rules scores so anything 7 and above is fantastic. Came in for Valentine's Day and we're all very happy! read more

Great bbq and atmosphere! I love the different sauces. Brisket was great.! shrimp was great. Sides are all fantastic. Highly recommend.

Food was great and so was the customer service. Will definitely bring the family back!

Very nice looking restaurant, unique decor. Super friendly people working there. Great offering of drinks.good BBQ sauces on every table, a cute little tool box with all the supplies for your food and table. BUT...the food is very expensive. My friend and I ordered brisket sandwiches with 1 side and a small drink. $52. I ordered the "moist" brisket which was slightly dry. Nah. I'll lunch somewhere else. read more

The service was great, everyone had a smile on their face. The food comes out FAST! And the food was good. We were super happy with the experience. P.S. - the jalapeño sausage was top tier. read more

Checked this spot out with the family for the first time today. We enjoyed the food. The atmosphere was nice. We had great service and lots of people coming around to make sure all was well. The pricing was relatively reasonable for eating out at a bbq spot these days. Would definitely recommend and come back! read more

I love Mission BBQ. My favorite plate is Brisket and Sausage, they taste like the BBQ in Texas. I also love it that they honor Veterans. Daughter, wife, and mother of veterans, I am always thankful when people acknowledge Veterans. I also felt comfortable in the restaurant. Have gone a few times, and will continue to go. read more

Stopped by while on the West Side for some errands, being from Texas I'm pretty picky about my BBQ and Mission was fantastic! The Brisket was moist with great flavor, I absolutely loved the kickin collard greens. Service was phenomenal, the staff shows amazing hospitality. I was really impressed overall and will definitely be coming back with my family. read more

I don't eat a lot of bbq only time to time but I do like good bbq I like Mission BBQ thank you so very much

The food was very good. I love the military theme. Staff was very friendly staff. I thought the ribs were small. Brisket was pretty good.

I only had the chopped meat sandwiches so I cannot comment on the ribs or chicken or brisket. My sandwiches were average and taste. The ingredients ingredients were reasonably fresh and there were six different barbecue sauces to choose from on the day. I was there they gave out free french fries and also interrupted the lunch to have everyone stand up and sing America, the beautiful while saluting or putting their hand on their heart while looking at a flag on a television, judging from the displays around the restaurant, it seems that they were paying tribute to people that served in the armed services. That was a nice touch most everybody enjoyed being there it seemed, but I don't think I will be going back because from my limited sample the food was pretty average. read more

YUM! We just tried Mission BBQ in Goodyear AZ and it was fabulous. The staff was awesome too. Love the multiple sauces to sample. We'll be back for sure! read more

Very clean, employees friendly and help full . Wife and I had the brisket sandwich. My wife's was very salty, she was unable to finish her meal and mine was very salty on some slices. A friend who went a time before us said her meal was salty. read more

Had dinner at Mission BBQ. The Goodyear location is newly opened so we had to try it. The inside displays lots of memorabilia of veterans which is nice to see and seating is very typical of a BBQ restaurant. Very comfortable. You order your food at the counter and pick it up at the counter however the staff still comes and checks on you. They were very friendly and welcoming. They offered to refill our drinks, gave us container to box our left overs, and picked up the empty trays. Now let's talk about the food. We tried a little bit of everything. Baby back ribs had just the perfect amount of Smokey flavor. They were fall off the bone and come with a dry rub, they were delicious. The brisket is perfectly tender and juicy. Pulled pork was very good. Jalapeño cheddar sausages are to die for. Sides were equally delicious. If you love Mac n cheese, Mission BBQ has the best I have ever had. Collard greens were also amazing. They were tender and had the perfect amount of heat that made them so flavorful. BBQ beans have tender pieces of brisket in them and have such a nice sweet flavor. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp. Very refreshing. If you are BBQ sauce type of person, don't worry they have six different types for you to try. They were all very good. This place is a must try! We will certainly be back again. read more

Probably the worst barbecue i've ever had very very low tier food overall. Service was also not good what so ever, maverick the cashier gave nothing but attitude and was making faces as were ordered. Overpriced and would not recommend at all. Save your money and go to any other bbq place. Now when it comes to Hernandez BBQ, now that's real bbq. read more

Yesterday I visited Mission BBQ in Goodyear, and I was so impressed. I got carry out, brisket and fries. The brisket was delicious, and the fries were also delicious. I will try more sides next time, but for now I must say this is a find for those of us in the Goodyear area. My server, Maddie, was so enthusiastic and so helpful. This is a great addition to our growing food scene. read more

tried this new bbq place in goodyear about two weeks ago, my family and I ate inside. everyone was so kind and helpful. food was so delicous, we already got takeout again last week. might be our new fav bbq! i am a sucker for their ribs and seasonal potatoes and my kids love the mac n cheese! read more

Food was decent. The brisket sandwich was pretty juicy, although it seemed to be very salty which I think was the outer brisket coating. The mac n cheese was just ok. They messed up on the "to go" part, but that was ok. I do appreciate the no tipping part, but for me 20.00 for a brisket sandwich and a small side of mac and cheese is too much for me to justify very often hence the three rating read more

We are so happy to have found Mission BBQ in Goodyear. Thank you, to the entire team at Mission BBQ, from the order taker, preparers, to the order delivery and service. Once seated, Rene did a fantastic job with our group of 5 and even though we didn't agree on football teams, we found her to be super friendly too. read more

I went on Presidents Day. First time here. Place was clean. I went to order and cashier was knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the half chicken and a pound of lean brisket. I was watching the carver and I could tell something was wrong. He cut the meat with grain instead of against the grain. There was a trainer or manager right there. He said something to the carver and I knew he cut it wrong. The manager/ trainer didn't do anything about my meat. I got to the car and tried a piece, it was cut in very small pieces and not like your normal long slice. The brisket was hard and chewy. Very disappointed. I got home and my wife said that it was tough and chewy also. She ate the chicken and I suffered to eat the brisket. Mild sauce was good but that really didn't make the meat less chewy. Dissatisfied and disappointed. Hope the training gets better otherwise you will lose a lot of customers. read more

For a new restaurant this store has got everything right, from being greeted to the food. The brisket is delicious, as is the turkey, with the meat moist and tender. The greens are tender and well flavored. I've been there four times with my family and never been disappointed. What is outstanding here is the patriotism displayed at noon with the national anthem being played. I'll continue to patronize Mission BBQ. read more

Mission BBQ in Goodyear is my new favorite place. The food is sooo good, meat is flavorful and tender. The sides are so good too, my favorite is the beans and Mac N Cheese! On top of that, the service is great. Everyone is so friendly and truly enjoys working there. read more

lets start with the call- the girl that took my order for 12 very ugly men- my list was long and i had several unnecessary demands- i did not get her name but she is gold star level- the pitmaster did his majik- brisket was top shelf- cooked perfect- the bark was on point- seasoned perfectly- the pulled pork - excellent- the mac n cheese cornbread, bbq beans did not disappoint- im a fellow pitmaster and i gotta say- im impressed- these mere mortals have no frame if reference as they eat standing over the hotdog roller at a gas station- but they all raved about the bbq- definitely good bbq- keep doing what you do. read more
