Soon as you walk in and smacks you in the face with patriotism. Their quality of the food matches the great decor in the restaurant. I had salmon here that was better than my mom could have made, and boy did I get excited when they had peach cobbler. Everyone that works here is very personable an Erin doesvan amazing job at making people feel at home being the face of the business. The food was perfect and the restaurant was clean. You definitely will be coming back multiple times to this place. They also recognize the people have fell during 911. if you don't like good food then you probably should go somewhere else . But I think they have someone for everyone. Thanks for being open through these difficult times. read more

Do not sleep on this place! This bbq restaurant has a theme supporting first responders and the military. This is a quick service ordering system, and was really fast and fresh with the food. We had pulled pork, brisket, jalapeño sausage. Added baked beans, seasonal collard greens, Mac and cheese, and cornbread. All of this food was terrific, delicious, and tasty. The table had 6 different bbq sauces, and a vinegar sauce. Our toddler enjoyed all of the sides! The staff was very attentive, and courteous. We split unbelievable Carmel Bread pudding Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food and service are excellent when dining in the store but it is exceptional when ordered for catering. This is the third or fourth time I've ordered for a family gathering and it has been perfect every time. Boxed up hot, fresh and they even carried it to my car. 2/3 times I had to call shortly before picking up and they accommodated my changes. They even call afterward to make sure everything was as ordered. The staff is beyond polite, efficient and helpful. The food is affordable for the quality and quantity too. Can't say enough good things about this store!! No photos because we always eat it too quickly. read more

I was not impressed. I had some things that were catered on a previous occasion and couldn't wait to try it again. I think everything is just okay. The Saratoga chips are so great but must be ordered 24 hours in advance. read more

We went shortly after opening on a Saturday. No wait, very friendly staff. You order at the counter and then come back and pick up your tray. They also have carry out and curbside. We felt safe dining in since the restaurant was empty that early on a Saturday morning. Brisket 8/10 very flavorful but a little dry. Ribs were great. Cornbread is good, on the sweeter side. Green beans are amazing. The Mac n cheese is just ok. I wouldn't order it again. I would definitely eat here again and try more items. There's something for everyone. read more

I am a Texas BBQ snob but seriously Mission does it right at every location I have eaten. Great fries, great bean and great BBQ. They honor those who serve and I am happy to support them. read more

Mission BBQ - Pastrami, baked beans and fries - Barbeque Near Me - Mason, Ohio

Tried to order catering for my step father's birthday. Staff was very rude and impatient. When we picked up the order the next day, they only had 2 racks of ribs when we ordered 5. Gave us a hard time about them running out of ribs as if its our fault they didn't have enough. Would give zero stars if I could. read more

Stopped for Friday dinner take out. And always delicious. I ordered Pulled pork sandwich, fries and cornbread. Fast service and good food

Hands down the best bbq in the area! Loved the pulled chicken and the brisket. Delicious food and great service!

Mission BBQ is hit or miss for me. When on their game, then their BBQ is as good as anywhere I've had it (even compared to some of the places in the south where I've lived). On other occasions the product they serve can be very bad. I have noticed a difference between ordering earlier in the day right after they open vs. later in the day. It seems every time I get the food later in the day, then the meat is moist/tender. When I order in the morning, the meat has been very tough and extremely dry (makes me wonder if they are warming up food from the prior days' batch). I appreciate this restaurant and their dedication to the US Armed Forces. After eating here several times, my recommendations are as follows: 1. Pulled Pork - really good if fresh out of the smoker 2. Chicken - I recommend getting the bone-in/half a bird vs. the pulled. I think when they pull it, the chicken will dry out vs. getting half a bird will guarantee that's juicier, plus you are less likely to find bones from someone pulling the meat haphazardly. 3. Sides: I really like their baked beans, cole-slaw and mac and cheese. 4. Sauces: White sauce with the chicken is a must, and I'm a fan of the memphis sauce for the pork but that might be too sweet for some. The good news is they have several sauces to choose from at Missions. read more

Mission BBQ - Wow, awful, dry as a bone, can't believe they served this - Barbeque Near Me - Mason, Ohio

Never disappoints. Food is always delicious. My kids had them cater their wedding and I have to say I was really pleased with the presentation, freshness and taste of everything. The staff was awesome and our guests were happy and full! Thank you MB. read more

Very mediocre food: The brisket was incredibly dry, but did have decent flavor. The ribs had no bark and too much sauce. The fries and cornbread were good. Service was good too. Overall, it's just very ok. read more

BBQ for all different tastes. The choice of sauces are quite tasty. Quick service but not a quiet place to eat.

Had the meat sampler with brisket, smoked jalapeño and cheese sausage, and pulled pork. So good! Especially the brisket! Wife had pulled chicken. Mac and cheese and green beans. All excellent! By all means, get the caramel apple cobbler for dessert. It's a fall treat! Great staff, great service and great food. 130 locations and growing. Highly recommended! read more

We love eating here. Food is good place is clean. Staff is great. They support our military men and women.

They let you ask for the leaner or fatter cuts of brisket. Best brisket I've had in a long time and they have lots of great sauces. The Smokey Texas BBQ sauce was outstanding. read more

I never give 5 stars but this place is delicious. 6 flavors of Barbecue sauce from 6 different parts of the country. My personal favorite is the smoky mountain. As soon as it touches your taste buds there is a burst of smoke flavor. I had the sampler with the jalapeño cheddar sausage, turkey, and brisket, all was good. Probably the best perk of all is they are pro veteran plenty of pictures to look at around the eatery. To this date my favorite Barbecue. God bless the USA and thank all my veterans. read more

I have come here twice in the past weekend - that is how simply good Mission BBQ is!! My fiancé and I came in for the first time on Friday and we had the nicest guy walk us through the menu and help us take our order. He checked on us twice after we placed our order too! I got the meat sampler which I would highly recommend if it is your first time here. I got the chicken and the brisket and they were both excellent but the chicken is out of this world. At the table, they have 6 different BBQ sauces from different parts of the country so it'll be a winner for everyone. The meat platters come with delicious cornbread, and I would definitely recommend adding on a side of fries. The sweet tea is EXACTLY like what you would find in the south. I loved the food here but what really takes it to the next level is the service. Everyone was so genuinely nice and clearly cared deeply about being sure the customers were happy. Absolute must try in the Mason area read more

Good place for simple gatherings , good environment, average foods and easier accesses

What an all American restaurant. The variety of meat is amazing. Sides are delicious, especially the Mac and cheese. Items are not over salted and can stand alone except that the sauces are so much fun to taste. read more

I first had Mission BBQ this year at Prasco park. They were one of three vendors you could get a free meal from at the Christian concert I attended. The pulled pork was good so I went to the restaurant a couple weeks ago with my dad and had the brisket. It was excellent! Juicy, tender meat. This is a good business rooted in family values. read more

On veteran's eat a free sandwich day, I decided to forgo the sandwich and get the 3 meat sampler. The Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, and chicken were excellent. They have 6 different sauces to add variety to every bite. I met a fellow veteran, and we talked through dinner. The American flag cake tasted nice. I brought the sandwich home for my wife. read more

First time at this location. It just opened. I got the 2 meat plate and xxl upgrade which means 2 sides and a drink. Pork and brisket were good. Get the lean brisket. Fries and mac n cheese met the target. 14 bucks was an expensive lunch. It was crazy that at noon the national anthem started and people stood up. Next to Starbucks. read more

Newly opened in the Mason area, and boy are they delicious! A very similar serving style as a City BBQ where you order up front, and head to your table and wait for your name to be called. They smoke everything in house in this HUGE smokers, and the places smells so great, and the food is amazing! I ordered the brisket sandwich which comes with a HUGE helping of brisket on a large bun (which I would have liked to be a little smaller). I had a side of fries and cold slaw which was the perfect pairing. Fries were fresh cut and flavorful. My Fiance ordered the pulled pork, and really enjoyed the juicy and smokey pork topped with cold slaw (NC style). They had 2 beer taps, but no beer yet, but I am told they will soon! They are a business and value the hard work of our men and women in the service. What a great concept. **Tip: I would definitely order fries to taste test all of the sauce before committing one to your meat! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Mason, Ohio

Our first visit to Mission BBQ. The staff was courteous and provided excellent service. I ordered the pulled pork without bun, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, cornbread and cherry cheesecake. Awesome! Food is prepared fresh everyday and some of the best bbq I've had. I travel a lot and have had BBQ around Dallas, TX. Mission BBQ is every bit of that. Each table has 6 types of BBQ sauce. I'll need to go back because I've only tried 3 BBQ sauces. Family oriented with country music. POW flag's and VET oriented. Be sure to check their website, menu and they also provide catering. We highly recommend Mission BBQ https://mission-bbq.com/ read more

Weirdly enough, one of my favorite bbq places. Never thought I'd like a chain that much but it's great. The staff is always extremely kind and accommodating. read more

I wish there was a half star option because I would give this place a 4.5 stars. I really enjoyed the food with a couple of minor things. I ordered 2 meat with side and drink. The meats I had were brisket and sausage. Wow the brisket was awesome. It was cooked to perfection and it was falling apart with a little nudge. Omg it was good! The sausage was fine... nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about either... I had fries as my side and they were really good.. fresh cut like penn station and they didnt give an over abundance...just the right amount. The corn bread was blah.. dry and just blah.. I really.like corn bread that is nice and moist and packed with flavor but this was blah. It was fine as a free side but did I say, it was blah already.. lol It's open seating so that's nice.. but they had the ac cranked with the fan going... as a person who is ummmm bald (there I said it) I got pretty cold, but it was fine. The best bbq sauce to my taste buds was the bay bbq nice but of kick.. the worst was some honey concoction.. yuk didnt like it at all. Anyway, i will be back, over and over again.. read more

I like supporting vets and first responders... there are things about mission bbq that I really like but there are things that I don't like. I really like the decor and honoring vets and first responders. I like the different sauces on the table. The side are good. The bbq is just okay which in the competitive bbq market makes for tough choices. The portions seem small. I think the menu is confusing- I hate the alacart set up. It is not a bad place but it is not super memorable either. read more

Was glad to see this barbecue restaurant open because frankly, there are no good ones in the area. My husband I enjoyed our food. I got the half bird which was very very tender you can add the sides which is separate, I tried the bake beans and mac and cheese both were good. The bake beans I believe had a little bit of brisket and brought out the flavor. The cornbread was okay, I'm cutting out the bread so I just had a little. My husband had the sampler and he enjoyed the baby back ribs a lot oh I also had 1 bone just to try and they were so tender the meat just fall of the bone. They have I believe 6 different barbecue sauces on the table to try. The staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

My top pick for BBQ in the area that I was shocked to find out is a chain restaurant! I typically shy away from chain restaurants but when my wife said she wanted BBQ on her birthday this was the one place open in the area and with good reviews. It did not disappoint! My dad is a 30yr retired Sgt Major and seeing all military memorabilia reminded me of my military brat days. I was grateful that it wasn't just honoring our soldiers hype to make cash either...reserved parking and discounts for vets. Also, lots of pride in the food! The staff was super accommodating and gave great suggestions. We tried the moist brisket, pulled pork, shrimp, fries, cornbread, Mac and cheese and banana pudding. All were so good that no sauces were necessary but the sauces kick it up a notch! They have six bbq flavored sauce from KC down to Texas. They also had Georgia mustard and a traditional NC vinegar to mix it you enjoy that style. I enjoyed it all and can not wait to go back and explore the menu more. Thank you Mission BBQ for the experience and honoring those who have fought for our country. read more

Good pork and chicken. Service is fast and people working there are attentive. Love they give back to local police/fire.

Surprised to see such 5 star reviews, wasn't impressed by this place at all. My pulled pork sandwich was extremely dry and had a decent sized bone in it that luckily I saw before biting into. Definitely could've chipped a tooth. Wont be going back! read more

Visited here for lunch and nothing but great hospitality was provided. We had our 2 year old with us. The man working the front, giving out the food orders, welcomed us so politely. We got our food, which as always, is delicious. We have never been disappointed in the food. The man walking around collecting trays then brought our kid a strawberry shortcake and thanked us multiple times for coming in. They do a good job clearing the tables to make sure others can come in and sit. We love this place! read more

We were in Mason yesterday about dinner time and stopped in to Mission BBQ. The place was packed and rocking!
