    Just turkey and a hamburger bun.
    Eugene C.

    It's a chain. Nothing more nothing less. They make a huge deal about the military but don't offer a military discount. Food is ok. Service is hit and miss. You might get the mumbling "can I halp you" or the "hi welcome" depends. Also. Little disappointed in the turkey sandwich. Like would it kill anyone to put a pickle or something one it. Be nice if they wiped the outside tables off once in while to control the flies but don't expect much from staff these days. Had to move three times because the flys love the sticky stuff all over the tables.

    Brisket sandwich
    Lisa G.

    We were craving BBQ and this hit the spot. My daughter ordered kids ribs, which come with a side item (she chose fries) and drink, she also got a brownie and I ordered the brisket sandwich lean. The food was plated (baskets) in under 2 minutes, before we even sat down. The staff was all super friendly. Staff walks around and checks on you and promptly offered a to-go box. The brisket was delicious, although a few bites were overly crispy and hard. The sandwich seems like it should come with something. The kids rib plate had 2 ribs and lots of fries. Although they were a little fatty, my daughter enjoyed them. Both plates seem a little expensive for what you get. The brownie on the other hand was HUGE!! We enjoy trying all the sauces. For me, I like Smoky Mountain by a big margin. My 11yo liked Smoky Mountain and Memphis Belle. Others are good, just different styles based on what you like best. We were there at noon and I didn't realize they play the national anthem every day at noon. Everything stopped and all the staff and customers stood with hands across their hearts, faced the flag, listened silently and clapped at the end. I've never seen that in a restaurant before; it was pretty neat.

    An absolute favorite of mine! Not only is the food amazing but so are the people! If ever there was a place where people who knew what you wanted as you walked in the door, its Mission in Midlothian. Gage is an amazing employee who gets it right EVERY TIME. When I don't know if I want a change... he brings me right back to my never-let-me-down salmon! ( I also dibble in the brisket and pulled chicken) If reviews could increase chances of a raise --- Gage - I would create one every visit. Thanks for being AMAZING! You're the bomb!

    Pulled Pork and Maggie's Mac n Cheese
    Kenneth J.

    We have been on a search for the best bbq in Richmond, and I think we may have found it at Mission. Although there seems to have been some subtle changes like the bread and mac and cheese, since we started going here, this place is still great on a couple of different levels. First the staff is always friendly and efficient. They answer any questions you have, keep the building clean, look like they enjoy their job, and they get your food out quick and fresh. The shredded pork is flavored perfectly, with a nice balance of smokiness and seasoning. For those who enjoy their bbq drenched in vinegar, this may not be for you. They have a great selection of dipping sauces, to which I preferred the tupelo honey heat (syrupy spicy honey) and the Memphis belle (thick standard bbq sauce). Both are amazing. The Maggie's mac and cheese is amazing, but i wish they cooked it longer. I like a nice crust on my mac and cheese, and sometimes they can make it a bit too gooey. Overall, this is my favorite bbq in VA. I hope they don't change. I recommend everyone to get out and support this amazing veteran owned restaurant by eating some of the best bbq you will have! Overall: 10/10 Location: 10/10 Customer Service: 10/10 Prices: 10/10 Food: 10/10

    Brisket, fries, green beans & cornbread
    Mike B.

    First time at Mission BBQ. Spotted this one while passing thru suburbs of Richmond. EXCELLENT BBQ! Company theme is to honor uniformed service women and men. The interior of the restaurant is decorated with pictures, awards and patches to honor armed services and first responders. It's a square room, 8 booths along 2 sides, tables of different configurations in the middle. Country music in the background. The room is spotlessly clean... So either this is a brand new store or they're taking great care to keep the place sparkling. Kudos on the variety of sauces and also how they're offered. Each table has a cardboard drink holder labeled with each of 6 choices. The sauce bottles are labeled, non-sticky and full. Smart idea to use cardboard holders... When they get funky they can be thrown away! Food is on point. Brisket is thick sliced, very lean, crunchy bark on the outside and tender, moist and juicy inside. And a hearty portion. This is among the best smoked brisket I've had. Fries are skin-on, crunchy, nicely seasoned. Green beans a little more crisp than I prefer, but slow simmered with pork, onions and still delicious. Plus a square of down-home style cornbread - crumbly and sweet. Not much more you can ask for in a BBQ meal. Also tried a garden salad, topped with smoked turkey. The salad is HUGE, and packed with fresh lettuce, tomato, carrots, onions and cukes. Topped this with a few thick slices of succulent smoked turkey. Delicious. Plus half left over for lunch tomorrow. Last but not least a cup of banana puddin. A great rendition, seemed to be made to order - nothing mushy here. Crunchy vanilla wafers, slices of fresh banana, pudding and a dollop of whipped cream. I've read that this is an up & coming chain with about 100 outlets. Hopefully they open one closer to home soon, I'll be a regular.

    Chicken by the yard, mac and cheese, green beans and corn bread

    Very fast service. Bbq is SO tender, moist, and well seasoned. They have multiple different bbq sauces to try at each table, which is convenient. Feels homey inside restaurants from the pictures of service members and military memorabilia on the walls.

    I love their military decor and mission: Proudly serving those who serve. Pulled pork. Chicken. Turkey. Brisket. Ribs. Sausage. As soon as the door opens, the aroma captures you. Ordering was easy, and reasonably quick. So happy we opted for the sampler! Pulled pork, sausage, and brisket. Served with cornbread. All very good! Mac n cheese, potatoes, baked beans, and Cole slaw. I wish the potatoes and mac n cheese had been warmer. Sweet tea and lemonade are both great choices, but there's also fountain drinks and bottled sodas. Military memorabilia nicely cover the walls. The National Anthem is played each day at Noon. The workers are very nice and extremely helpful. They don't offer military discounts but they do have military VIP cards. The restrooms are separated by gender. Very clean and spacious; handicap accessible for sure. We'll visit again.

It's so open, vibrant and aesthetically stunning. I love the self serve option for pastries with importance places on sanitary practices. Each customer grabs their own set of tongs to get pastries and provide to staff upon checkout. I love their dedication to high quality cleanliness and sanitation standards. A definite plus! There are so many pastry options both sweet and savory. The presentation of treats is immaculate. It makes you want to try everything. I had to stop myself, haha! I ordered the Boba Brown Sugar Matcha (cold) with almond milk substitute due to lactose intolerance. It was very delicious, especially the brown sugar boba pearls. The cup is so cute and you can tell so much thought was placed in having high quality products. Im saving this cup for alternative use at home. I also had the ube bun however I didn't like it. It wasn't as sweet as I had hoped and the texture inside wasn't pleasant to me. The ube filling was chunky and kinda broke apart. I wouldn't order that again but would love to try other treat options. Staff were really nice and patient. Service was quick and efficient. Pricing is reasonable in my opinion for the quality and presentation. Highly recommended and I will be back soon!

I got a regular grilled Italian sub. The restaurant is extremely clean and has 2 storefronts worth of seating. I actually ended up adding a "small" fry to my order when I saw them cut the potatoes fresh. As you can see, there is nothing small about that serving! The sandwich was delicious and extremely fresh. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

Dissapointing as they used to be one of the best tasting subs in the area a long time ago. Prices are on higher end for same type of food you can get elsewhere. Ordered a toasted Dagwood with fries. Their fries are known for the cut and freshness but seemed to be lacking- a quarter of the cup of fries were burnt and not as thick as they used to be. As an example, go to FiveGuys if you want the better thick fries. The sub contained a skimpy amount of shredded lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc. Oil was on the sub but the vinegar is given to you in 1 packet to put on later. The pickup order was to be ready in 15 mins and when arrived after the 15 mins, had to wait another 10 minutes. Not in a rush, so it didn't matter but could matter to someone who has a time constraint and there were no other customers at that time. One of the younger staff members stated "we shouldn't have to work in conditions like this" referring to the kitchen being hot but they were standing by the fryer and overn. It was a very hot day outside so maybe they were referring to that combination.

If I could I would have given it 4 1/2 stars, because it was good but not great but definitely well enough not to drop it to a 4. Let's start with the location: very nice and everything seems real clean and cared for. Even the men's room was decent at 6:00 pm at night. Now our server: Sidney was very attentive to us. She took very good care of us during our stay. Now the meal: Again it was good. The wifey had the Blackened Chicken Alfredo. She tells me the sauce had a nice flavor but the chicken really had no flavor. Certainly not a Blackened flavor you would expect. The chicken itself was good and tender. As for me I had Shrimp and Grits. It also was good. It had onions and peppers in it and again the flavor of the onions and peppers just want there. Who knows. We also had the Brick Oven Brie. There was a really nice amount of Brie. So much that the toasted bread ran out way before the Brie. So as I said this was a good place and meal despite my small hits in this review. I firmly recommend this place because I do expect you to have a nice meal. Ps. To the owners: your link to your website doesn't work via Yelp. To potential customers: you will have to go your search engine and find the Charred site.
