Came in with a massive group--30+ people, all ordering individually--and I was fully expecting delays, confusion, and cold food. Instead, this was hands down the fastest large-group dinner I've ever had. Orders moved quickly, food came out hot, and nothing felt chaotic. For a group this size, that level of execution is genuinely impressive. Let's be clear: this is not Texas-style, 18-hour, smoke-ring BBQ--and it's not trying to be. What they do well is consistency and customization. You get six different sauces, and they actually ask whether you want your meat lean and dry or juicy. I went juicy, and my portions were flavorful, tender, and satisfying. I ordered the beef brisket and pulled pork, and also tried the pulled pork sandwich. Solid across the board. They were out of the cream corn (bummer), the mac and cheese was fine and comforting, and the cornbread was excellent--classic, slightly sweet, and the clear standout. This is BBQ built for scale: fast, reliable, and crowd-friendly. If you're feeding a large group and want everyone served quickly, with options and no drama, Mission BBQ absolutely delivers--even if it's not chasing smoke-ring perfection. read more

Located on Route 22 in a new plaza that includes Aldi across from Denny's restaurant. The parking is on the small side and can be a little frustrating but it's manageable. We've gotten there 3 times now for their catering service and was impressed each time. The food was hot and fresh each time. Portions were good size. All the meat was cooked great! There choices includes ribs, ( of course ) Pulled pork, chicken, brisket, turkey, sausage, burgers and salmon. There are a wide variety of sauces for every palate. Some mild and some spicy but all the ones I've tried are tasty. The sides were also very good! Mac and cheese and bacon green beans were my favorites but other sides include baked beans, French fries, collard greens, cold slaw and a couple seasonal items. The prices are decent but I was impressed with their commitment to veterans charities. I'll pay more to help those who serve our country! The Army Truck out front is very cool and it's their mobile smoker truck for large events The inside of the store has a warm, cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely feel like you're ready to enjoy some homemade delicious BBQ. Definitely recommended if you're hungry for some delicious scratch BBQ. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Suchhhhh good BBQ meats. Unlike their Monroeville competitor, they actually smoke the meat authentically.... not in a convenient electric smoker. Always good food. Always good service. The decor is local stuff but still well put together (not a 2000s Applebees vibe lol) However biggest perk... they thought through takeout orders. Reserved spots on the side. Separate entrance to avoid being stuck in the line. And quick service with still the excellence of opening your containers to confirm your satisfaction and hook you up with your sauce of choice. ALSO... turning their patio umbrellas into Christmas trees for the holiday.. GENIUS read more

All I wanted for my birthday was the Mission BBQ turkey sandwich and their Mac & Cheese!!! I am absolutely in love with this place. You are welcomed as soon as you come in the door - the staff is so courteous and will give you a sample if you aren't sure what you want. We got my sandwich (which had enough meat on it for two) and a sampler platter with pulled chicken, pulled pork, and brisket - and some baked beans. The prices are super reasonable and if you aren't full when you leave you might want to stop at a hospital afterwards because you might have something wrong It's a casual place that reminds you that our country was built on the backs of selfless Americans in the military, fire, and police! God bless them all and God Bless Mission BBQ read more

This was my 2nd visit. Since I am all about the brisket sandwich it's the only item I have tried. I don't remember it costing over 15.00 without any sides so I am not sure how frequent my future visits will be. I would like to try other menu items or check into catering options. The dining room walls are filled with endless displays, pictures and other memorabilia from servicemen and various armed services. Who wouldn't welcome a meal complete with a history lesson on the side. I truly appreciate the community support Mission BBQ is known for and their dedication to first responders as well. read more

My goodness I just love Mission BBQ!! They are warm and welcoming and the place just smells delicious. They are a little pricey in my opinion but I will go there as often as I can afford it. It's just that good. My wife loves the Memphis Belle sauce. It's a sweeter sauce but she says it's best ever for her. I love the brisket, chicken, and turkey! Their Mac n cheese is delicious but does have bread crumbs on top which I love but some might have an issue with and not know will be on it. So be aware. Their cornbread is great although a tad dry usually. I definitely recommend eating here early and often! They honor our first responders and military which is great. read more

Five stars for this great spot - convenient location, friendly staff, perfectly prepped food! Everything at this busy location here was clean and well kept. The service was super friendly, and the long line moved quickly. The food was excellent. I'd you've never been to a Mission BBQ before, everything here is freshly made - no microwaves, no frozen fries. Pulled pork and chicken, brisket, ribs, you name it. The sides are all excellent and the sauces are delicious (be sure to try the Alabama white sauce - you have to ask for it!) There's a great selection of bottled drinks, including Cheerwine!, but I don't look any further than the fresh, delicious sweet tea. Stop here if you can. You won't regret it! read more

This place is perfect for a quick bite. I love their atmosphere, vibes, and mission. The customer service is always top tier as the employees are always smiling. I don't know who is cooking in the kitchen but they never miss. I always get their pulled chicken sandwich (sometimes I go for the kids meal) and their Mac and cheese. They're consistent with flavors and they pretty much have a choose your own adventure when it comes to the sauce. They have sauce and they don't keep it a secret. You can even purchase their signature Sauces to enjoy at home. read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled chicken sandwich. - Barbeque Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Absolutely delicious bbq. It ranks as one of the top BBQ places I have been in a long time. Meal 1: brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese was perfect. Nice crust on brisket,good smoke and seasoned well. Mac and cheese was nice and creamy. Meal 2: Turkey, brisket platter with fresh cut fries. Turkey was moist and brisket was perfect. We also tried a few ribs and the meat just fell off the bones! Finished with an amazing bannana pudding. This franchise can compete with any local bbq joint.pictures don't do it justice. read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket, turkey, fries, two ribs. - Barbeque Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

I didn't dislike our experience here, but with the way everyone raves about it, I guess I was just expecting more. It is a pretty standard bbq joint. Options for sandwiches, dinners and plates that offer options to try a variety of things. Portion size was decent and were seasoned well. Service was friendly and efficient. I probably won't go back (unless I'm with others who decide to go there) but that is more about the fact that there is an amazing local establishment close by vs anything Mission did (or didn't6 do. read more

Mission BBQ - lean brisket baked beans, smashed potatoes with gravy and cornbread . - Barbeque Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Mission BBQ is a barbecue restaurant chain that has locations in many states. Their mission is to serve those who serve us, particularly military members, police officers, firefighters, and first responders. The restaurant also donates millions of dollars to national and local charitable organizations. This location in Monroeville opened in July 2023, and one of my family members who served in the military for decades wanted to come here. As my family members and I walked into the restaurant, an employee kindly held open the door for us. Inside the restaurant, we saw many tables and booths. My husband walked to the front to order foods and drinks while the rest of us waited at our tables. Here are my reviews for our foods: Brisket - 5 stars - This brisket had a wonderful smokey flavor. Ribs - 5 stars - My family member ate these ribs. He said that these ribs tasted good. The meat was tender and easily came off the bones. Turkey - 5 stars - This sliced turkey was juicy and tasted good. Salmon - 5 stars - This salmon was a good size, it was cooked well, and it had a flavorful seasoning. Cornbread - 5 stars - This cornbread was moist, and I liked that packets of honey were available. Green beans - 4.5 stars - These green beans contained some bacon. Baked beans - 4.5 stars - These baked beans were extremely flavorful. French fries - 5 stars - These fries were freshly cut and fried, and they had a tasty seasoning. Strawberry shortcake - 5 stars - An employee asked my family member about his military service, and then he brought us two free strawberry shortcakes as a thank-you. This dessert consisted of moist cake, a good amount of fresh strawberries, and sweet whipped cream. Coleslaw - ? - My family member ate this coleslaw, and he seemed to enjoy it. It looked crispy and creamy. read more

Really nice environment. Nice people. Gave warm greetings. Good temperature inside. Foods amazing. Good variety. Hot, well seasoned, filling. They gave us free fries. Best cornbread I've ever tasted. That Mac n cheese though. Wow. Mad at myself for not trying this place sooner. Now I'm gonna try and get everyone I know to come with me so I can try everything on the menu. Lol and the prices are reasonable. Thanks for a good time. read more

It was my first time I wasn't very impressed.I got seven strips of ribs and it was twenty two dollars , so no I probably wouldn't ever go back. I should have went to my usual spot at Tai pai Tokyo! read more

Ordering over the phone was very easy. Check out was not. Still not sure why the price on the menu is slightly less than what I was charged. The food was good. The baked beans are sweeter than others I've had. The Mac and cheese was gooey. The cornbread was good but cut small. We got the Memphis Belle sauce and it was similar to a Sweet Baby Rays. The pulled chicken and pulled pork were both good. read more

The American spirit is alive at Mission BBQ! You walk in and you are greeted right away with a "Welcome to Mission BBQ!"- they did not miss a single customer when they walked through the door. The place is covered with military and first responders memorabilia- patches, pictures, flags etc. and the environment was simply amazing to be there. I saw the Soldier's Creed hanging up at the drinks station and had flashbacks to boot camp. I definitely appreciate the love and support that they show the military and first responders. You walk in and the first thing you see is a giant cooler filled with glass bottles of pop/soda - you could either grab that drink or the refillable cups. My family and I grabbed the refillable ones. There were two registers quickly taking orders and when it was our turn, we were greeted with a smile and friendly service! We ordered: Kid's pulled chicken sandwich with Mac and Cheese, Brisket Sandwich with Cold Slaw, and the Smoked Cheeseburger. Here's a tip - when ordering the brisket you have two choices: Lean or Moist...order Moist! They took my name and I waited for my order We sat down and right there at each table are 6 bottles of sauces, before I could look at them - my name was called and the gentleman asked if it was my first time visiting and I replied yes - he quickly went over the process of smoking meats and the brisket I ordered. I thought that was great interaction with the customer! Brought our food back and wow! That moist brisket sandwich was damn good! I can't remember all the names but mixing KC Classic, Texas Twang, and Tupelo Honey with the brisket sandwich was absolutely mouth watering delicious! My wife and son enjoyed their food as well - nothing but compliments and the flavor was on point! I can't wait to visit again, so happy to have another BBQ place in Monroeville! read more

Mission BBQ - St Louis Ribs and side salad. - Barbeque Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

I was hoping for more than delivered because we definitely need fast service bbq options locally and i am an experienced bbq lunch spot participant in other cities with successful venues. That said, this was a bit disappointing. Why? While it is fast service and has outdoor seating, it is ala carte pricing, no lunch specials, pricey (15.59 for a pulled pork sandwich, 2 sides, and a soft drink). The amount of meat in the sandwich was plenty and sides quantity and quality were good but the pork was dry even after applying various sauces. Would i come back? Yeah, being it is a bbq option, but not often based on pricing model. Ok, to add.... they serve to give back to the community. Ther staff is all polite and helpful. I was here dining at noon and over the loudspeaker outside was a call to join them in the playing of The National Anthem, played everyday at noon. Applause was heard throughout the indoor space after. I am ust adding tidbit for info. You now know. read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich, green beans, and "cold" slaw as spelt on their menu. - Barbeque Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

We came to Mission BBQ on Veterans Day after my son played a couple of games at ProSports Monroeville. We all got sandwiches and sides. Brisket for a couple of us and Pulled Pork for the others. Everything we had was really good. They have six different types of sauces to try. Service is a bright spot. Everyone was so friendly, nice, and really made you feel welcomed. They were giving out free cake for Veterans Day. As well as free sandwiches for Vets. The style is order at the counter and seat yourself. The place is very much military oriented. It is new, clean, and gives off a great vibe. We will be back! read more

I was at an event at my local VA medical facility and they had the day catered by Mission BBQ. I've been in this position before and have found that there can be a difference between food ordered ordered directly and food from large catered trays. I don't attend many catered affairs, so I really wasn't sure what to expect. There was a picnic type cooler on one end stocked with generic bottles of water from a local grocery store. Everything else was better quality. There were 2 large trays of meats; pulled pork and pulled chicken. I started with the mac and cheese and the cole slaw. I followed those with pulled pork on a slider bun. I added some of the pulled chicken on the side. I also treated myself to a small piece of cornbread. I thought the mac and cheese was good, but far from great. It was underseasoned in my opinion and certainly not as cheesy as what I make at home. The cole slaw was about the same quality in terms of flavor. Cole slaw can be great or mediocre. In this case, it was just so so. The dressing had no bite and needed something to amp it up. Even a dash of salt and pepper would have helped. The next items were far better. There were 3 sauces available and I tried 2 of them. The chicken was cooked well and paired nicely with the sweet barbecue sauce. I used the smoky sauce on the pulled pork slider and thought it was better than the chicken. I ate my way through the entire plate and I even considered going back for more. The cornbread was moist and sweet and was a nice finish. The tables were set up in a way that I thought was efficient and the servers were all smiles and happy attitudes. There were enough spaces available for people to find and use personal space without the balancing act that usually comes with little attention to detail. I really didn't see anyone struggling to hold and eat from their plates. Butter was available for the cornbread, but I didn't use any. There were plenty of napkins and the plastic wear was a good quality. My day ended with one of the workers attaching a Mission BBQ bumper sticker to the back of my wheelchair. Overall, while I couldn't say it was exceptional, it was good and made me think I'd like to try the regular menu some time. I would have liked to try some of the other menu items, like baked beans and the green beans. In doing a little research, I've discovered that they feature 10 different sauces and 8 or more different meats. There are a couple of different potato options, like fries and potato salad. It looks as though with everything, you could expect to spend about $20 for a decent lunch. Not cheap but not out of line with today's prices. read more

Absolutely amazing food. These guys "get it." When I come to town to visit family, this place has become an easy weekly visit.

While I feel this is an expensive choice for bbq....it's easily become my favorite. Brisket is always my go to, and they do it very well. It makes me sad that this is probably taking away from the small bbq spot around the corner from here though. Which I'll still frequent. Service is always great, and my order is always ready when I get there if I'm picking up. Sauces are great too!! read more

Went with my better half, and it felt and smelled like a barbecue joint. Everyone who worked there was very pleasant. I ordered the sampler. The chicken was amazing and juicy. Ribs were fantastic, seasoned perfectly. The wet brisket was juicy and smoky. The baked beans side with brisket in the beans was really nice. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich. It was good as well. For desert, we shared the caramel bread pudding...freaking delicious! The only negative was that an employee behind the counter was eating. Kinda unprofessional. We don't go out for barbecue often because I barbecue and smoke at home. My wife enjoys what I make, so do I, but we heard good things about Mission, so we thought let's give it a shot. We were pretty happy with it! read more

Went for the first time and had the dry brisket with a side of mac and cheese and apple cobbler. All was very very good. Ordering was a bit confusing it's kind of A La cart, so be sure to know that. The service was super friendly and helpful. They have a chilled secret sauce, horseradish something, behind the counter which is delicious. Ask for it. Looking forward to going back for a second time. read more

Service was good. Brisket and ribs were salty. One suggestion is to give warmed cornbread and not refrigerated cornbread.
