2 Meat Sampler: Brisket / Pulled Pork
Alan D.

First time here, and I was first in line literally standing outside like it was Black Friday, but for BBQ. You could smell the wood smoking from the parking lot, and that was enough to let me know I made the right decision. The staff? Super friendly. The place? Clean as a whistle. The crowd? Already lined up like it was a sold-out concert except we were all here to get our BBQ on lol. I went with the combo: pulled pork & brisket because why choose when you can have both? The smoke ring, the flavors, the tenderness this meat didn't just fall apart it practically melted. And the sauces? Absolute fire! Should've bought some, but I got distracted by the food... now I regret it. Lesson learned. Bottom line Mission BBQ delivers the goods, and I'd 100% come back for another round. Next time, I'm buying the sauce before I even sit down lol. Def give them a try you won't regret it : )

Turkey sandwich with fries.
Larry B.

I stopped for carryout and had the turkey sandwich with fries. The turkey was moist and had just the right amount of smokiness. Portions are large and I usually have some to eat after the sandwich. I was greeted with a smile and my order was taken promptly. The order was accurately assembled and packed for carryout. Will I wait there is plenty of memorabilia to peruse. It's nice to know some of the stories behind the photos and patches. The dining room is large, clean, comfortable, and overlooks the plating area. We will return again.

Military truck parked out front! We took pics with it, of course.

Highly recommend Mission BBQ! My brother in laws friend had suggested this place for a good bbq spot in Tennessee. Definitely did not disappoint! There's plenty of parking in their lot and we didn't have any issues with seating despite having a large party. Their pricing is quite affordable. I tried their pulled pork sandwich xl combo which comes with one side and a drink for around $13. Each table has a set of Mission BBQ sauces for you to try. Tupelo Honey Heat was a fav between my fiancé and I. Just the right amount of sweetness and smokiness for a BBQ sauce. I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich, the meat was nice and tender. And their mac and cheese was the perfect side for my meal. Not too much cheese, which I prefer. They also offer a free dessert for veterans! My fiancé is in the Army, a few other guests in our party were veterans and they gave them all a free strawberry shortcake dessert, I thought that was so sweet! I didn't try the dessert but my fiancé said it was good! I love that mission BBQ is big on military and veterans. The whole place is decorated with old military pictures and different memorabilia everywhere. They even have an old military truck parked out front of every location! Definitely a wonderful business to support. They offer great customer service and delicious BBQ! I plan to come back and visit again! Make sure to add them to your list if you happen upon a Mission BBQ in your area.

Baby back ribs
Noe M.

My friend and I came here after getting a hair cut nearby. We both felt like BBQ and found this place nearby. When seeking BBQ, I always for for the ribs. They had traditional ribs and baby backs. The baby back were recommended, so I went with those. Though not the best I've had, definitely above the average. I asked for a dry rub with the sauce on the side. The half slack was filling without the side. As a side, I asked for Macaroni, which I didn't like. Based on the ribs alone, I would give this restaurant 4 stars. However, the following took place which made their customer service experience above what I've seen in other places that pushed this to a 5 star review. We regularly had a staff member come by and ask us if our meal was good or if we needed anything. As our food was consumed, we were offered to have our plates removed. The waitress (might have been the manager, I am not sure) noticed that I didn't touch my Macaroni. She asked me if there was something wrong with it and I simply said I didn't like it. She offered to get me a different side to try at no additional cost because I had already paid for a side and she wanted me to leave with a side I enjoyed to go. The other thing to note is that, we were there just before noon. As soon as it was noon, a PA system alerted customers to stand up and face the center flag in honor of our veterans. Everyone stood up as we listened to the Start Spangled Banner. That was quite a site to see. The announcer mentioned that this is a daily routine at 12 noon, so be prepared for that if you go around that time.

Loved the variety of sauces! The greens are tomato based and not my cup of tea! Average quick barbecue!

This place has been on my list for several months now so I stopped at the Buona in Murfreesboro on…read morethe way home from Cookeville. To give them a fair shake at a comparison to Chicago, I ordered two iconic Chicago staples, an Italian Beef and a Chicago Dog. First the beef, I ordered it with hot giardiniera and dipped. The beef was tender, flavorful and the peppers packed a pleasant heat. The bread was sturdy had a good flavor as well. Considering we are outside of Chicago, I'd go 4.5 stars. The Chicago dog looked and tasted legit complete with the neon green relish. For the dog I'd also go 4.5 stars. Seems like Murfreesboro might be sleeping on this great spot cause I was there at 6:30 on a Sunday evening and it wasn't packed. Highly recommend this spot when you are in the Boro to get your Chicago fix, it deserves our support!

Be prepared to read a magazine article length review of this establishment. Usually I do not review…read morechain or franchise restaurants, but this was so good, I made an exception. I was intrigued by a mail brochure, then their video. I like the place VERY much. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I reserve those for Italian restaurants with table cloths, vino, attentive waiters and opera playing in the back ground. It is based on FOUR visits because I liked it so much and did not want to give an incomplete review. First will be a detailed list of the dishes we tried and then I will get o ambiance and service at the very end. Here goes the food review first. Chicago Hot Dog. I'm not from Chicago and only know the signature food by reputation but my wife and I were impressed. The bun was very good with the poppy seed on the outside. Holding its own was a nice hot dog through the additional dressings. I ordered mine with the hot gardenia. It was delicious but instead of a vinegar base, it was a nice olive oil. French Fries Our family recognizes my wife as our resident expert on quality fries. She rated these as among the best she has ever eaten. I agreed with her that that they were crispy outside and fluffy inside. She added comments that they held up on the plate as she ate. Being crinkle cut, those fries tend to get soggy, but these retained their crispness through out. Chicago Beef Visiting their website you will see how they prepare their beef for meal. My wife indicated that it was fairly standard, but I drew me in. Admittedly, I have only tried a few of this type of sandwich. The things I liked about it was that it was juicy without soaking the roll and plate. It also had a nice flavor. Pasta On the wall in the store is a sign advertising that the pasta is fresh, never dried and that peaked my interest. Signature Rigatoni Marinara was the menu Item I chose and felt like it was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever enjoyed. Thin, long pastas are classified by a number indicating their thickness. I could not find such a classification for rigatoni. While I may be a bit of an engineer, I studied the wall thickness of this pasta. Compared to what I buy in the grocery store, this had a thicker wall. It is important because the pasta was cooked al dente. The mouth feel of the thicker pasta and feel to the tooth was great. Do not feel I am discounting the sauce, but it was one of the best I think southern Italy would offer. Brownie On a whim, I grabbed a brownie because my wife did not want to stop at a candy store for me to get chocolate to go with my bourbon at home. It was light in texture, but incredibly full of quality chocolate flavor. It was great taste for taste, sip for sip. Beef and Gardenia Pizza Our fourth visit to justify my rating was with my wife, adult son and I. Surprisingly, she ordered the pizza choice because it was unique, Neither of us had gardenia on a pizza. Their Tavern Pizza is 10" and cut checkerboard style, not wedges, which was fine by us. The one pizza was enough for my wife and I. We both agreed that the Marinara sauce was the same as on the pasta. The pie was loaded with toppings. In fact, it was hard to get a true taste of the crust. It was also so loaded that she commented that it was a good thing we ate in the dining room instead of taking it home. If we took it home, she suggested, the copious toppings would totally soak the crust. Gardenia served here is in olive oil, not vinegar. As such, it gave a nice flavor to the pie. I thought my wife ordered extra cheese, but, no. That thick blanket is standard. The blend of toppings was just wonderful and the gardenia was just spicy enough. Margherita Pizza All pizza restaurants are judged by their Margherita pizza as far as my son goes. This pie was not traditional, so he simply gave it a "good" evaluation. He would rather get this pizza at other restaurants, but if he came back here, he would order it. Among his comments were that normally tomato slices were on the pizza, but this one had the diced tomatoes in this. Also, all the basil, while tasty was just piled up in the center instead of strewn all over the top. Now for service and ambiance. Of my trips, I was there a few times shortly after they opened for the day and once during a very busy time. Both times, the meal came out in a timely basis and the meals very fresh. On one trip, I ordered beer. The counter person was underage, and left to find a manager to complete the order. She was not clear in diction and we did not know why she left, but it was O Being new, it was very clean. Ambiance is very bright and well lit. Large windows give a good view of the area. Promotional signs and posters are informative and appropriate.

The ambiance…read moreis great but the tables and chairs could use some repair as every table we tried wobbled a lot. I did not take pictures of the inside as it is a very busy weekend here. First complaint is there is no guidance for people who are from out of town on how to order or where to go. I have been watching the out of town parents confused as well trying to figure this place out! The iPads set up to order are not sales leading or helpful. When we picked up our coffees is when we FOUND the full menus to read (AFTER we ordered). Not only did they lose sales but we did not see any meat options to add to our order! The lattes tried were a make your own and are better than Starbucks. I had the regular with sweetener (had to ask for a little more sweetener as you can not choose more than one of the same item) and prefer a light to no foam but it is not an option. The second option was the golden girl with honey and cinnamon. Good but different. The first food was the Susie Basic ($11 +$0.50 for strawberries) the crepe that is too thick for a traditional crepe, did not come filled with the strawberries or anything else it was just folded into quarters and topped with the equivalent of 4/5 whole strawberries and whipped cream on the side. The second food item was the French toasted waffle pancake ($15) this is a great concept but it was under cooked and doughy but more than enough food for a meal. It would have been better with a breakfast meat included! Over all the rating is a 3 because of service, the confusion, and the immediately asking for a tip when you order not knowing you really get no service before or after you get food! Even water is a self serve dispenser! It's a great place, different concept in food service. It wants fast food as far service but set up to be table service. After our food arrived we were directed to the silverware and napkins. No one checks on food quality or needs after you are served your food!

I moved to Dallas years ago and we don't have one, but I make sure to hit this location during every visit. Today's visit was perfection. The cashier helped my mother-in-law through her options very thoughtfully. She's from another country and was ambivalent about where I was taking her to eat The cashier explored ideas about how we could separate our fries and reminded us that drinks were refillable when we worried about sizes. She was just as professional, helpful, and kind as every business person should treat customers. The food. I'll break it down-the friggin bread is soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. The perfect home for real beef-hello-real beef that is succulent and divine. The cheese. Nom nom the vegetables are fresh and crisp. Ok, the friggin lemonade is so fresh, so fresh and pure for this clean eater. Yes, I almost always eat clean, but I make exceptions when it's worth it-penn station sandwiches are worth every drip of mayonnaise and every crispy, fresh french fry! The crew was so good to us, they are a young bunch running this store beautifully. They all spoke, served, and treated us like visiting friends. I will miss this spot until my next visit!
