They are always very friendly here. We came on a Thursday night and it was slow. My wife got brisket and pulled pork and I got brisket. The food is consistently amazing. We love the casual armed forces country style atmosphere. We will be coming here again, highly recommended! read more

Ten out of ten! This place is so good & the staff are all so sweet. I cannot say enough good things about this place. They are so confident in their food that they let you sample anything. My family and I have been here twice and both times we've devoured our meals. We have tried most things on the menu & it's all been great. The place itself looks like your average bbq place and it's nice. The staff is welcoming & helpful. We will definitely be regulars here. read more

This restaurant was totally amazing! I am not usually a fan of bbq but some family members wanted to try it. The food was great, staff was friendly and decor was upbeat and inspiring! The only issue is that I signed up for their birthday club and it isn't processing. They have reusable soda cups which you can buy and then it is only 99 cents to get a soda. I certainly will be back so it is a good deal. Staff members were walking around with samples and bussing the tables constantly. Not a cheap alternative but you have to pay for quality! read more

The service was what prompted me to write this review - everyone in the restaurant was so friendly and helpful! We already had a light dinner, so didn't order a lot, but the staff were so helpful with ordering and delivering the food to our table. Top notch service, even though it's a casual place. I also love how they honor all those who served the country, and nothing is more American than bbq! read more

The food was amazing, very good very fresh and just tasted legit. The pricing was also good for the amount of food, it's made quick and you can watch it be made. The workers are so kind and make sure your doing well, I came back up for a brownie and without a thought the guy goes "on the house" (it was delicious, chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside, so good.) It was nice inside, the inside fit the theme of the food, it was clean and a place i will be coming back to. Food and service was great. read more

Mission BBQ - Outdoors - Barbeque Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

I'm not aware of too many BBQ restaurants in the area, and this hit the spot reasonably well. I grew up in a southern state so I've had some pretty delicious BBQ in my life, and I would say the food here was only OK. The pulled pork was pretty stringy and hard to eat, although dousing it in the six (!) different BBQ sauces helped a lot. The cornbread was also OK but tasted a little dry to me. I got our food as take-out so I don't have too much to say about the dine-in experience, although the restaurant looked pretty nice and reasonably spacious. Overall, I'll probably come back here if I'm craving BBQ, but I'll maybe try the brisket next time. read more

Came in for the first time earlier today for dinner with my daughter. First visit to Mission BBQ. This location is extremely well managed, that was clear from the visit. All of the staff were friendly and seemed genuinely excited to be there and helping to give us great food and a great visit. Decor is upbeat and seating is ample and cozy. Great music playing too! I got a two meat sampler which comes with corn bread. My daughter got a brisket sandwich and Mac and cheese side. I got the green beans with bacon side dish. All of the food was fantastic. We didn't know which sauce we liked so they gave us a portion of all 6 of them (great touch). As first time visitors, we were made to feel welcomed, and the over the top attention to service was appreciated and noticed. Will absolutely be back. Highly recommend. read more

Mission BBQ - Two meat sampler (brisket and pulled pork) with corn bread and green beans/bacon side dish - Barbeque Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

Ordered their catering for a work event. From start to finish they were amazing to work with and great food. People haven't stopped raving about it. They were communicative and went above and beyond with helping set up the food. Plenty of food. All of it was incredible. The potato salad is a must. I normally don't care for potato salad and this is so delicious. All of the meats were tender and flavorful. The brisket was a standout to me with the nice crispy outer texture but the inside melts in your mouth. Mac and cheese was super flavorful and had a lot of dimension. A bit pricey per person and worth every Penny and more. Especially with their community involvement and how they give back. Can't wait to order again. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

Is been 5 years since I been back to mission bbq. This time I brought my wife and two kids. Boy did things changed for the worst! All the food we order was lukewarm at best. We spent 55$ for cold greasy brisket. The sausage was sliced thin and with rubber texture. Mac and cheese were cold. Tastes like candle wax. The two stars were for the customer service. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we will not be returning. Is too expensive for mediocre food. There are so many other fast food competitors with better foods with cheaper prices tag. This place is heading towards in the same direction as Boston's market. read more

Need to give a shout out to the lunch crew on may 7th they were sooo nice food came out perfect! 10/10 recommend!!!

I've been to this Mission BBQ a few times and never leave disappointed. The food is absolutely amazing. This visit I got the 2 meat sampler with the brisket & pulled chicken, along with baked beans, cheesy potatoes and it comes with a piece of cornbread. The brisket was nice and juicy, pulled chicken full of flavor, and I absolutely love their baked beans that also have bits of brisket mixed in. The staff there genuinely show interest in you while you are there. The manager regularly floats around to check on you along with other staff members. I didn't even think to ask for butter for my cornbread and a staff member came up asking if I would like butter. They want your experience to be memorable. The decor is very patriotic with different military memorabilia on the walls, along with local police and fire department patches. I always look forward to eating at Mission read more

We like Mission BBQ however find it a bit inconsistent over multiple visits. Sometimes the food is incredible while other times it seems lacking in flavor and/or overcooked. Their app is useless and the website only slightly better so we prefer to just order on-site and wait the few extra minutes. read more

I'm a Korean vet with 50% disability. I don't need anyone to remind me how to serve my country. I got some ribs here that tasted like cardboard. Spare me the rah rah stuff. Just give me some good ribs. read more

.....for you whose eyes were opened wide, whilst mine refused to see I'm sore in need of saving grace be kind and humor me...... sorry, where was I??? Oh yeah, I walk into this standalone in the parking lot of my Kohl's thinking it was the place to sign up for a Mars mission. But no.... it's a BBQ chain. The smell activated sub human salivation reflexes, but I got it together enough to order something. I went with half a yard bird( it's chicken), Mac n cheese and baked bean sides. Most items come with a piece of the corn bread. My to go order was ready in a minute or 2 as I was here pretty early. My friendly server threw in 3 of the 6 bbq sauces. The chicken was very tender and smoky. It was a nice portion and enough for sliders the next day. I wish the skin could have been crisp though. The sauces were ok, maybe I need to try the other 3. The Mac n cheese was very good. Not too dry not too saucy, and a sharp cheddar flavor, order again! The beans were forgettable, no pieces of brisket or much more than a very sweet flavor. I'm slightly rounding up but plan on bringing my uncle back to try the ribs, and I'll likely get something more beef oriented. read more

Mission BBQ - Part of menu, very quick and friendly service! - Barbeque Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

Let's start with the service, was great service and they had an employee walking around checking on folks. Found this to be a welcoming addition. Ambiance is it is located in a nice area. Now onto the food. If you are looking for cheaper bbq this is your place. I would say I rate places off their brisket and if you need to use the bbq sauce. A great 7.5-10/10 you should hardly have to use any bbq sauce. 9-10 you do not need any at all because the flavor profile is so great. Mission is a 5.5/10 in the bbq world. Felt there was a lack of a smoke ring on the brisket, along with moisture and flavor profile. The ribs also lacked that smoke and flavor profile. The best part of the meal though was the pudding. Great taste and the corn bread was moist. This is an affordable bbq eatery and worth the price you pay for it. read more

Stopped into Mission BBQ yesterday w/ my Father-In-Law, neither one of us had been there before. My Father-In-Law ordered the Baby Back Ribs w/ a side of fries, while I went with the Beef Brisket and the Classic Sausage #41. Our meals were ready after a short wait. My Father-In-Law enjoyed his ribs, I was glad he did, because I was the one who had suggested we go to a BBQ place (and he rarely eats BBQ). But I used to live in Tennessee (and worked in Northern Alabama), so my standards for BBQ are "higher". I felt Mission BBQ is decent enough for Northern BBQ, but it still fell short of my expectations. First, I had ordered the "moist" beef brisket (there was a choice between moist or lean, never seen that on a menu before, so I picked moist). Honestly, the brisket was not moist at all, if anything, it was slightly dry. It did have a bit of bark, but I had to add some of the Texas sauce to give this brisket some flavor ( I really did not detect any smoke at all with the brisket). As for the "Classic Sausage #41", I just thought it was OK, nothing really special. Kinda wish I hadn't ordered the sausage and went with a side instead. If I was to return to Mission BBQ, I'd order the Baby Back Ribs. Didn't get to try any of my Father-In-Law's ribs last night, but the portion was very large and he finished all of it, so I know he really liked them. Becka, who was working in the dining area, was very friendly & attentive, we enjoyed talking to her. Also, my Father-In-Law is a veteran, we both appreciated the respect that Mission BBQ shows to our military and those who have served. Will write an update if I get back to Mission BBQ at their Hamilton location in New Jersey. read more

My colleagues and I visited this restaurant just before lunchtime. The staff along with the customer service that was provided at the counter and table side, was amazing. Right at noon on the dot, everyone in the restaurant takes a moment of silence as the national anthem plays throughout the entire restaurant. I've seen nothing like this ever. the food selections, such as pick two or three meat entrée options, is the best suggestion if you have a craving for more than one type of BBQ. read more

The BBQ is consistently good for a chain restaurant, and the mac and cheese is very tasty.

My folks have wanted to take me here the next time I was in town ever since they first tried it out. It's a great concept--a place that honors military/first-responders and has incredible BBQ food. The vibes inside are friendly from the minute you walk in, where you're likely to get a greeting from the hardworking teammates behind the counter. My parents and I had a combined total of 3 entrees with a couple sides each, and the bill came to less than $60--very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Another great perk of this place is that it is BYOB, so feel free to bring a small cooler for your own brews. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Mission BBQ - Chopped Brisket, French Fries, and Mac n Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

Mission BBQ is a great eating establishment that supports veterans, police, firefighters, and first responders. My father is a Vietnam veteran so that means even more to me. I often come here with my parents or just my mom. We came here so often they knew us, and still some employees do. The staff here are all very nice! Someone always comes over to check on you or clear your table, showing very good customer service. Over the last year the pulled pork sandwich and baby back ribs started to become inconsistent with quality, the good quality we all know Mission BBQ usually provides. However, I went there today and got the brisket sandwich and it was out of this world phenomenal. I'll be back soon for it again! As for the temperature in here, it is always absolutely freezing in here all months of the year. Today it was so cold my mom and I had to cut our conversation short to go to our car to warm up, I am not kidding. It's a shame because I love coming here, but in the winter especially I think twice because it is so u comfortably cold in here. That along with some inconsistency in the last year in food quality is the reason for the one star left off in my review. Otherwise, I do really like it here. I'll be back again soon in hopes the brisket sandwich will be just as good the second time! read more

Great place for the patriotic. Interesting wall decor. Enjoyed standing for the star spangled banner at noon. The food was over-hyped, but I thought it was just OK. The portions were small and the pulled pork was dry. Wish they had a killer house BBQ sauce instead of 6 different ones at the table. Reminded me of flavored syrups at IHOP. read more

I am a HUGE BBQ fan. While I would in no way consider myself an expert, I was stationed in the Carolinas long enough to become well acquainted with some of better stuff that we just don't generally get up here in the Northeast. With that said, Mission BBQ in Hamilton is pretty good...by corporate standards. Is it going to hold a candle to the roadside mom and pops the dot the landscape in the land of pulled pork? Of course not, but if you come in with your expectations properly adjusted, it'll definitely scratch your itch for 'Q. Despite a fairly long line when I arrived, things moved quickly, and I was up to the front dealing with the friendly staff within 5 minutes or so. As it was my first time in, I went for the three meat sampler: pulled pork, brisket, and Classic #41 Sausage. The pork was very good, juicy and flavorful with a hint of smokiness to it. The sausage was equally as good, I'm not sure if they actually tried 40 other varieties to get to this final product, but if so, the perseverance paid off. The brisket was somewhat lackluster, but that may be attributed to the fact that it was listed as "lean" on my my receipt. I'm not sure if there's another option as I was offered one, but if there is a "marbled" or "fatty" option, I surely would have gone that route. I'll be sure to ask next time. With the take out order, I was offered to choose from 6 different sauces. I went with the K.C. Classic and the Tupelo Honey Heat. Sensing I liked my sauce on the spicy side, the helpful young man behind the counter offered to toss in a container of what he called "their spiciest sauce:" Baja Bold, which was not on the menu board, but I happily accepted. All three sauces were okay, but a bit sweeter than I like, even the Baja. A few shakes of the Jekyl & Hyde BBQ from 13 Angry Scorpions in my fridge turned things up to the appropriate notch for me. I got a side of Cheesy Potatoes and "Cold Slaw" to fill out the meal. The potatoes were okay, but sadly the cold slaw was pretty terrible. No real flavor to speak of at all. Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the over-the-top military/first responder theme and paraphernalia that covers the joint. I say this as a Veteran: it can be a bit much, but when you take into consideration that the military theme can also be seen in training the staff to be "squared away" and respectful to all customers as well as the teamwork that appeared to be a natural part of the daily ops behind the counter, I can't knock it too much. All in all, some pretty decent BBQ at a fair price. A solid 4 stars. read more

Stand and salute the newest Mission BBQ in Hamilton whose overwhelming patriotica-laced atmospherics are not for anyone who still finds solace in their patchouli oil, love beads and second hand sitar. The entire store is a living celebration of the military and first responders with the national anthem played everyday at noon (seriously.) And did I mention the place is packed because their BBQ is terrific. From pulled pork to slide off the bone beef ribs the grub here is tasty and plentiful with service that is both friendly and on-point. So turn down the Procol Harem, nix the hash pipe, whip that buzz cut into shape and check out Mission BBQ in Hamilton. That's an order maggot! And while you're at it, drop and give me 20. Some reviews just write themselves. An easy five stars (and stripes.) read more

The food was cooked very good! Lots of choices, but I always come for the brisket and Mac & Cheese. The white sauce from the fridge is my fav. (You don't see it unless you ask for it at the register). The brownies are served at room temperature but I like to eat them nice and warm at home. I must say that this Mission BBQ is the cleanest one I've ever been to. It also stood out because they had really nice and helpful customer service. It's a nice find! read more

5 stars for ambience and nostalgia. National anthem is played at 12:00 everyday where everyone stops what they are doing, stands up, and sounds off. The food was delicious. The reason for my 3 star review is because I paid $20 for a brisket sandwich and a small combo (1 side and a drink) and I left hungry. They weigh the meat before stacking it on your sandwich and I know it provides consistency on their end - but it makes me feel like I'm getting nickel and dimed. Charge me $3-5 more and put a proper amount of meat on my sandwich please. For this reason, I won't go back - I don't eat at places where food or ice cream get weighed, especially not in this economy. read more
