    A sweet treat for our grad.
    Vicky N.

    Thank you Mission BBQ for your hospitality. Our Navy graduate felt so welcomed by your sweet gestures and hospitality towards military grads. We were pleasantly surprised by the great ambiance and great music as we ate.

    Part of my combo meal. Juicy brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage. Green beans with bacon, mac and cheese. Cornbread.

    Overall, a wonderful experience, the staff is friendly, and their mission is focused on military and first responders, always a good cause to support. The food is above average for a chain barbecue. I was a little disappointed with some of the sauces offered. But, to make up for it, the brisket was juicy and the ribs were fall off the bone delicious. I also had the jalapeno cheddar sausage, but I was so full from the ribs and the brisket and the sides, that I didn't get a chance to try it, I brought it home with me. Prices are reasonable. They have blue colored cream soda in a bottle available. I had two bottles. They don't pair very well with barbecue, just a heads up. Stick with a root beer, Coca-Cola, or just plain water. I highly recommend!

    Food is good, loved various options for sauce. Service was fast, and employees were friendly.

    Finally had the chance to stop in at Mission BBQ. They support those who serve our country, which is evident in their decor. Seeing all the pictures on the wall is heartwarming. The employees are all very friendly and when they realized it was our first time they gave us the run down of the menu. Everything sounded so good but finally decided on the Brisket Sandwich combo and Pulled Chicken Sandwich combo. Combos come with a side a drink. Sides we tried were the fries, cheesy potatoes, and macaroni and cheese. The brisket is coated in their memphis Belle sauce which I enjoyed. On the table of you're dining in they six sauces you can enjoy. It was fun trying out the different sauces on the pulled chicken. Their sides are also delicious but on the smaller side when it comes with the combo. Their sweet tea and lemonade are really good. Overall a good experience. Tasty food, friendly service.

    Beef brisket and sides: fries, cheesy potatoes, and baked bean brisket.

    See all

    First time at MD's in a long time. Here are some of my thoughts:…read more -I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I looked at the menu, I was pleasantly surprised. -I ordered the pick two. I chose the "spuds" (twice baked potatoes), and southwest chicken & avocado salad. -The salad was not great--avocado was a bit mushy, the chile lime vinaigrette wasn't the best either. -The spuds were not what I normally think of as twice baked potatoes. The inside was more like mashed potatoes with gravy. I would not order this again. -It's a shame because the service was really good and friendly. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend.

The turnaround from order to table was pretty quick...and we found out why. The one positive thing about their Rueben is that it was LOADED with corned beef...albeit room temperature and even pockets that were cold. The bread was only toasted; the sandwich is typically grilled. There was hardly any sauerkraut and the 1000 Island dressing was weird (tasted like there was some horseradish in it?), This is near Gurnee Mills so there is a dearth of other, better fast food options. Would maybe go again and try a different menu item...but with so many other options, it would be a last option (aka- everyplace else is closed so not likely). Very disappointing.

You aren't greeted as you walk in and you feel as if you're a bother even coming into eat although im the reason they have a job.. no business means no money means no hours... regarding this most recent visit and the reason I've decided to finally leave a review is because I've just had it. Walked in and was not greeted (typical from last time) waited 5 min to even be helped or asked what I wanted mind you there was no one upfront of me and no one was doing anything...when they finally asked what I wanted I asked are they speaking to me? I was just double checking because I had no interaction prior... I was responded with a rude "yes what do u want". I ordered my subs and as we get to the toppings I say "mikes way" when asked for the toppings. The kid looked at me as if I was stupid. I said "everything" to be clear, and when I said "everything" I meant, everything, I even waved my hand to show the entire spread of things. They decided to only put lettuce, oil and vin, and tomato not even the mikes way. So I spoke up and said "no I meant everything" they looked and just slapped the rest of the toppings on there carelessly. There is more to add but I don't want to waste more of my time. Won't be paying here a visit anymore. I believe it's a management issue because everyone there is the exact same.
