    This was an unplanned stop after picking up family from the airport. All the staff were very nice and accommodating to our party of 12. Plenty of sitting available. We ordered large meat portions with sides recommended by the cashier and kitchen staff to share. My family loved everything. Brisket, pulled chicken, sausage, coleslaw, Mac and cheese, French fries and corn bread. All the sauces are so tasty and perfect to add to the meats. The restaurant is clean with nice music playing.

    I had a great lunch here. I can always count on Mission to provide great food and great service. This location has plenty of parking and I appreciate the spots dedicated to veterans. More businesses should have this. It was very clean inside and welcoming. We were greeted right away and the staff was helpful when ordering. We got our food for dine-in. I made myself an Arnold Palmer because the tea and lemonade is sooooo good! I like the station that is a tool box for straws and everything you might need. The food only took a few minutes and was brought out to our table. I ordered the Turkey sandwich with fries. There was a generous amount of turkey. It was juicy and cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy. I enjoyed mixing a few of the BBQ sauces provided on the table to make my perfect sauce. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it got rave reviews. Thank you for consistently providing great food.

    A good place to eat in the Orlando area, Just north of Orlando International Airport According to the web, the Mission Barbeque Brand ..." is an American barbecue restaurant chain based in Glen Burnie, Maryland". Two people (Kraus and Newton) opened the first location on September 11, 2011, as a way to support the military, police, firefighters, and first responders. As of April 2026 there were 155 of these restaurants in the United States. All of the locations that I have been to have the same basic layout. You order and pay at one end of a counter and when your name is called, you pick up your food. The seating is wooden booths around the edge of the inner dining room with tables in the middle. Drinks are a serve-yourself affair right after the counter. First responders and military memorabilia line the walls. Food is served on metal trays and, obviously centers around barbeque. Each table has 6 barbeque sauces to choose from offering a variety of tastes for the customer. The food at this location was delicious. I had fries and a BBQ sandwich with tea. The staff was very nice and the dining room and tables were kept clean. The prices are very reasonable for the current economy--definitely a place to visit for a good meal in the area.

    Outstanding, simply the best. I stopped in at the Mission BBQ restaurant on Semoran today for a lunch break. I was greeted in by the staff with a welcome. I was serviced by Devon - who was so nice. I ringed my order and gave me a sample of their banana pudding that was so good. I ordered the pull pork sandwich along with some baked beans and the jalapeños sausage with cheese. Everything I ordered was delicious. Special thanks to Devon for completing my order and helping me to my car. Thank you for a great day and great food, Devon you rock!!!

    Walk in and order at the counter. Good selection of meats and sides. Counter workers were helpful as gar as ordering. Got the 2 meat platter, jalapeño sausage and pulled pork with a side of Mac n cheese. My companion got 5 ribs and a side of "cold' slaw. Both plates came.with cornbread. They call your name when the food is ready Ribs were fall.off the bone tender and there is a selection of BBQ sauces at each table. Pulled pork was tasty as was the sausage. The KC BBQ sauce was my favorite. I wish there had been some honey or butter for the corn bread since it was a little dry. So a pretty good place for bbq.

    The Rundown: service inspired chain, with delicious meats and friendly service. The Review: this was my first time visiting a Mission BBQ and I am surprised I have not heard more about this chain. First impression, their "mission" - so to speak - was very clear from the different themed walls and phrases. The service style is counter, but with an attendant working the floor. All encounters with the staff were very friendly with an "eager to help" mentality. You could tell they work as a good team, kudos to the management. I went with a simple turkey sandwich and paired it with Mac N cheese and a drink. I saw they included "summer lemonade" in their fountain drinks and appreciate them offering this. It was delicious! Very sweet, I had to water down but I prefer it that way vs too light. First impression with food was that it was very basic. Two buns with some meat slabs on it, and a heaping spoonful of side. It felt kind of small for the price, but upon tasting it was incredibly well flavored. I tried the turkey first as is - and was very impressed. They definitely cook their meats well if seasoning or sauce isn't needed. The table offers a variety of sauces, from sweet to spicy. Something for anyone's taste! I recommend keeping it light so it doesn't overpower the meat. The Mac N cheese felt small, but was very good. Not too oily, they add some crumbles on top to give it that "fresh baked" crunch which was a nice touch and ensures everyone gets some breaded topping. The seating staff member was very attentive, taking time to introduce themselves to each person eating in and staying very active with cleaning and restocking tasks. Everyone gave the appearance of wanting to be there and, as mentioned before, to help ensure your visit is pleasant. Pricing is a bit on the higher side and by time add drinks and or a side you're reaching sit down meal prices but overall I highly recommend if want something quick and flavorful.

    Mission BBQ is a special place. It honors our military personnel. Walking in it is like a museum with pictures, badges, insignias, letters, flags, etc. Look for the ice tub of Nehi sodas. The BBQ and sides are ordered at the counter. We are BBQ people, and we liked this. The greens and cornbread were very good. Fountain sodas, iced tea and coffee are self served. Can handle groups. It's a beautiful place. Recommend.

    The food is amazing! The 3 meat platter was enough for hubby and me. We made it a XL combo with baked cheesy potatoes. We had to get a brownie and banana pudding, too. The brisket was nice and juicy. The have a veteran or birthday program which you can sign up for to get discounts.

    Good food

    Damon was amazing. So nice and made sure we were taken care of. Went out of the way to accommodate us due to the salmon selling out. What a great food place for the family..

    Emani made our lunch date here extra special!! My husband and I don't live near a Mission BBQ, but we had them cater our wedding last year, so it's always a nice treat to dine in & reminiscence on our wedding day. Emani was the dining room attendant and checked on us to make sure everything came out great. She even blessed us with a yummy banana pudding dessert with the sweetest note on it! Thank you so much for going above and beyond. Mission BBQ always makes a positive impact

    I'm not much of a BBQ connoisseur - but this place was bomb!!! I got lean brisket which was surprisingly moist still, 2 fallin-off-the-bone ribs, Mac and cheese and beans. The meat comes with a complimentary piece of cornbread - I wish it was bigger! Everything was so good & I like that they offer many types of BBQ sauce. I think the Kansas City I picked for spice, but it's definitely tangy and only slightly spicy. I enjoyed the Memphis bbq sauce - tasted well balanced but on the sweet side and more like a normal bbq. Service was good when I went in to pick up my food. The ribs didn't look the best at first, but I dipped in some sauce and my first bite was delightfully a surprise of soft and tender meat!! The ambiance was nice! Different decor related to the veterans who served us. I also added on a banana pudding when I came into the store - it was tasty but my only complaint was there wasn't a lot of fresh banana in it! Only a couple tiny pieces and they were kinda on the not-ripe end. Overall though I loved this spot! Pretty good price too I feel, I was able to have my food as leftovers for dinner the next day too.

    Good service and good bbq right by the airport. I enjoyed our work lunch there. Everyone was very friendly and the ordering process was quick and easy. Be aware the national anthem plays at noon and everyone is expected to stand towards the flag. A great experience!

    Absolutely love this place. All the foods here an s the almost festival like vibes of the Mills…read moremarket. Today I got to sample Kai Kai BBQ, and yum! Whent with 2 proteins because its so hard to pick. The crispy pork belly was so amazing! Just the right amount of fat and crisp and cooked to perfection. The soy sauce chicken had a very aromatic seasoning light but flavorful. Even the green stuff was great! It came with 2 sauces not needed but good for a little twist to the flavor, one I think was eel sauce (no eel included and the other one tasted mostly like green onions. There was a hefty portion of delicious fried rice (5$ upcharge )under the protein. The rice had a peanut flavor to it, it was light and aromatic, very delicious. Worth the upcharge?... I'll let you decide. Service was fast and friendly place was packed and things moving fast but the staf was personable and attentive and even popped a joke in our short interaction. Like all the other places in Mills Market, Kai Kai has earned a spot in Orlando's food scene. Now the tough part is deciding what to eat next time because it all looks and is soooo good!

    This stall is in Mills Market so I wasn't too sure about it…read more Kai Kai has the 3 meat combo and I think that is the best deal so you can try everything. My personal favorites to get is the duck, bbq char siu, and the crispy pork. The roasted duck was good but was a bit on the fattier side. The char siu had good flavor and balance of sweet and savory. The crispy pork was delicious and had that crunchy skin that you would crave. The dish also comes with rice and bok choy. Overall, I would recommend this pale if you are in the mood for duck, char siu, or crispy pork.

    EWWWW! They don't change their gloves after touching many things in the kitchen, including the cash…read moreregister. Then they literally grab the meat from the catering dishes with those same gloves. They didn't use tongs. They used DIRTY GLOVES GRABBING HANDFULS OF MEAT and put it right on the buns for the sandwiches. I saw this as I sat outside and observed this terrible behavior through the window. Gloves are the enemy of the food industry if not used properly. Untrained workers using gloves have no sense of "my hands are dirty" since they're wearing gloves. They routinely touch the counter, door handles, utensils, etc. which are usually touched by many others. Hopefully the owners who put their hard earned dollars into opening a restaurant for the community take the time to train their staff properly. Until then, this restaurant is DISGUSTING!!!! I would skip this place for now.

    I studied the menus at the new Avalon Park Marketplace and I was drawn to BBQ50's "Bat out of Hell"…read moresandwich. A BBQ brisket sandwich with pulled pork, beer cheese and a chopped up St. Louis rib is right up my alley. It was ok and for $16, I doubt I would go out of my way to go back. My issue is they are still acting like a mobile catering company. The brisket and pork were pre-cut and kept warm in chaffing dishes which definitely watered down the smoky taste. They did not have beer cheese either, but I did visit during their soft opening, and Bowigens did not have their liquor license yet. On the flipside, all of their sauces were fantastic and did elevate the taste, but not to the level of some of the area best BBQ joints. Again, soft opening so understandable, but delays were caused by how they implemented their ticketing system. I would say this is a good family spot for a quick meal if you are in the Avalon Park area, and their are several other vendors at the Marketplace. Self seating areas indoors and outside are kept very clean by staff. https://marketplaceatavalonpark.com/ Taste *** Quality/Freshness *** Presentation/Uniqueness **** Service *** Atmosphere **** Bar Cleanliness **** Price $$$$

    Was craving fried chinese squid and I heard Tasty wok serves the best salt and pepper squid…read more They offer 2 portions: Appetizer size which is a small take out box or full portion. For the price you are better off with full portion for $15 ish - Appetizer is about close to $8. The Salt & Pepper squid here is delicious. First off - they used baby full squids. body and tentacles. Very lightly battered. And slices of green chilis throughout. It is tender and crispy from the light batter. Slight spicy but not much just notes of the chilies. Good to air fry when you reheat this. Def a must have from the Tasty Wok menu for sure!

    Red Roast pork soup is quite the comfort food. I've enjoyed this soup for many years. Tasty Wok…read moreis an institution! I order this soup with shrimp dumplings. Each time I order it, they tell me that shrimp dumplings are extra. They are very much worth it, by the way! The noodles in this soup are egg noodles. The tender bite draws you back. The chinese spinach is nourishing and offers iron to give you strength. The crispy pork is amazing. But it is really crunchy. At this restaurant they sell it by the pound, right along side the hanging duck which is by the pound as well. They sell so many dishes that are well-loved, but I tend to get the soup. It's so nourishing and flavorful. Top tip for parking...you can park in the back, but there are many restaurants on the same aisle so you sometimes have to wait for people to leave.
