    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.

    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!

    Brisket sandwich

    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.

    Pulled Pork and Maggie's Mac n Cheese

    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

    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.

    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.

    Tonight I thought I'd hit up the local BBQ here in Midlothian Virginia. Staff is friendly and quick…read moreto get you anything you need. Good size menu with several options. I can for the BBQ and ordered a sampler. Sliced Brisket lean with bark and some of their smoked sausage. Comes with Cornbread and 2 sides. I went Standard here coleslaw and potato salad. I'll start with the good, the coleslaw caught me off guard. It looks pretty generic but honestly I think it was the best thing on my plate. Sweet with tiny kick, maybe some horseradish I think. But I ate it all. The potato salad was just too dry. It needs some mayonnaise, mustard, something. The BBQ sauce is tangy and not too bad. I would have liked a couple of options maybe a sweet or spicy one as well. The smoked sausage wasn't too bad, just wish it was served temperature hot. Also it was a bit greasy and with too much charcoal grit, which kind of killed its appeal. Here's where I get disappointed, no burnt ends, apparently they were sold out. The brisket. It was more like a pulled pork than brisket. The request for dry and bark went out the door or they have no idea what I wanted. This was very moist and greasy. Again temperature hot would have helped it tremendously. The meat has no real smoke rings, just the burnt exterior. Overall it's not bad but I just wouldn't consider this place as a true BBQ restaurant by what I was severed.

We stopped by mid-bike ride for a meal and were grateful for their exceptionally kind and patient service and hospitality. Bathrooms available and ample places to park since it is a part of a shopping center. The staff gave me an overview of the different types of BBQ: NC is more vinegar based, Red is Virginia's take with a tomato base, and Just BBQ is your classic sweet BBQ sauce. I of course had to go with the Red since we were visiting Virginia for the first time! I'm so glad I did. The food came out exceptionally fast and everything was fresh and hot! I seriously can't express how good the BBQ was. It was juicy, flavorful, and everything you'd want from BBQ. I'll be searching for a sauce like that for years to come since I'm not local! The potato salad was also excellent and the mac n cheese, despite being a bit mushy, had a good flavor. I absolutely loved the corn muffins - no notes! The best part of our visit was getting to chat with the locals who approached us asking about our bike ride. They were all very friendly and made me feel as if I was a local myself.
