Very friendly service but really high prices. The Mac & Cheese tastes great but the portions are small. The quality is inconsistent. Sometimes you'll only get burnt ends for your brisket which is great if that's what you ordered but a real disappointment if you didn't. There is a strong veteran's theme inside and outside the restaurant. The restaurant could use a bit more quality control. read more

The food is so so good!! It's a wow for me. The ribs and brisket are amazing. The side dishes make the meal!!

You'd be hard pressed to find a better example of teamwork and efficiency outside of Mission BBQ locations. They are all hands on deck- all employees diligently working assembly-line style to bring you food that took hours to make in literally minutes from order to take out! Delicious creamy macaroni and cheese. Sadly no delicious Mission BBQ peach cobbler here but the banana pudding is still great. read more

Mission BBQ - Creamy macaroni and Maggie's Mac-N-Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Parma, Ohio

Got a brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, baby back ribs, cold slaw and baked beans. It was so much food! Delicious! Since we've never been here, the one person handing us our food explained about their in-house ovens(?)smokers(?) and gave us lots of side sauces. He also gave us a card for a free sandwich!! Recommend! read more

Ended up here only because Barrabicu was closed for the day but glad we decided to give this place a shot. Solid chain-style BBQ joint that hits the sweet spot for all your smoked meat cravings. Get the brisket (moist!) and spare ribs - both were oh so smoky, tender and delicious, w/ a side of cornbread included. We also tried the pulled pork, which wasn't bad but a clear second to the brisket & ribs. Mission hits all of my criteria for a go-to BBQ spot: - Quality sides: Mac n cheese was good although potato salad is a definite stand out-- rich and creamy, achieves ideal balance of sweet and vinegary goodness - Fun sauce selection: 6 unique options to sample at each table, ranging from sweet and smoky (Memphis Belle) to tangy and spicy (Tupelo Honey Heat) - Cleanliness: clean tables, no hand wash area but plenty of wet wipes out at the condiments station Lively and bustling mess-hall style atmosphere. The restaurant is military/police-themed with a bunch of cool memorabilia from each of the branches honoring veterans and first-responders plastered all over the walls. Quick wait times and fast-food style service but staff will stop by to check on you during the meal and offer samples while you eat! read more

Best service I've had for a quick stop and grab food place. And the food is 10000/10!! So good. Great atmosphere too.

Not sure what the one reviewer is talking about when they say this location doesn't exist? It absolutely does and has been here for a while. Went here for dinner the other night and it was delicious. Friendly employees, clean dining area, and fresh food. We even got a few samples while dining, which was a pleasant surprise. My only "complaint" is I wish they were closer! ;) read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. This place was founded and is owned and operated by military veterans. The inside of the restaurant is full of memorabilia, photos, and uniform items representing our military, police, firefighters, and other first responders and if you fall into the listed categories, you are treated like royalty. The food is amazing. If you love BBQ, you will leave this place very happy. I had the smoked Hawaiian ribeye and was blown away. Vets get a free peach cobbler, as well. Will definitely be back. read more

Got the pulled pork sandwich, it was good. It came with coleslaw on it and nothing else. Would have been nice to get at least chips but overall I enjoyed the sandwich. read more

My daughter surprised me by bringing their food home. It was all good and still hot by the time we started eating. The brisket was so moist and tender. The two babyback ribs were OK. I also enjoyed the beans. read more

This business supports veterans! Please support them. The brisket sandwich with KC Classic sauce is one of the best I've ever had. Thank you! read more

The food was absolutely amazing, I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and it was divine, I loved the homemade sauces (had one recommended by Jen and jazz, my servers, that was honey based. Perfect for fries) my servers were extremely sweet, not forced sweet, but they actually loved there job. They saw I was a little bit overwhelmed (the ambiance is extremely patriotic, and I had never been in a place like that) I swear they had custom made customer service and they had samplers and explained the history of all there supportive signs and insignias. Even if not my personal first pick I would definitely go again for the people. read more

Great food wish they always had the greens. They have a monthly special protein, side & dessert. Service is always great and staff is helpful. Can be a tad pricey for a fast service establishment. 6 kinds of bbq to try and if you get the veteran cup you can bring it back next time for a discount in your drink. read more

Love this place. I always get the ribs and they don't disappoint. Love the fries and special desserts.

Super great food...great value! If you love BBQ and are in the area, you will be greatly impressed!

Currently one of my favorite places to eat. I really enjoy the 3 meat sampler, gives me a chance to try all their sauces which I enjoy as well. It seems like almost every time I'm there they come around with free samples also which is awesome. Staff is also very friendly and seem to enjoy working there This is my go to place any time friends and I are looking to get a bite to eat. read more

Not much to say other than mission BBQ is about as good as a BBQ chain gets. On top of a variety of meats and sides to choose from the sauces might be the best part. My baby back ribs were on another planet. We need to work hard to get more of these in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio! read more

I love mission! Can't wait to get my next brisket sandwich! I try to eat here at least 2 times a week.

Mission BBQ has without a doubt among the best food and service of any restaurant I've been to in the last 20 years. The BBQ is top notch whether you're talking about ribs, pulled pork or brisket. The 7 different BBQ sauces represent a variety of great flavors. And the sides are solid. I've been to the Parma location about a dozen times now and have never had bad service. The employees are friendly and helpful. They are well trained, very nice and seem to love their jobs. If any of them have ever had a bad they sure don't show it at work. The restaurant concept is fantastic. The respect and appreciation for first responders and military is outstanding. Five days earlier, manager Jamie struck up a conversation, thanked me for my service and provided a complimentary dessert. It was unexpected and not necessary. But, it was much appreciated. Today, on September 11, 2019 the restaurant offered a free sandwich to first responders. Once again I was thanked for my service, given a commemorative 9/11 pin and desert. It's nice to know you are appreciated, in a public service occupation, were the thanks often are few and far between. Thank you Mission BBQ for the awesome food, great service, kindness and appreciation! read more

BEST.BBQ.EVER I'm telling you. This place.. is amazing. They have the best BBQ I have had in a while. Their pricing, morals, vibe - everything, is on point. Their staff members are extremely one of a kind.. the service is impeccable. Everyone is super friendly & will continue to check on you during your visit. I especially love a place that supports the USA, military, police, firefighters, emts, etc. The entire establishment is decorated with patches, photos & memorabilia to remember the fallen. They're great local supporters. They have six different BBQ sauces at the tables. Along with a vinegar sauce. There's a mustard & also a mayo available if you ask for it. I've tried them all.. if you're like me & cant pick a favorite.. you can buy the sauces to take home with you. When choosing some of their meats, you can pick moist or lean. Which, to me.. is the best. It's all about personal preference. My favorite main dish is the grilled shrimp. On top of that, my favorite side dish is their baked beans with brisket. Their brownies are the best! Don't forget the fresh brewed sweet tea. We have visited this spot twice. We will be back more frequently. I've been telling everyone about it!! read more

Multiple selections of meat & BBQ sauces. Tender & Juicy! Hospitality was great from the managers & waiters/waitresses. If you're lucky, they may bring a few samples to your table made by employees. Which usually don't get put on the menus. read more

Came in for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Food came right up and there was no wait. Ordered the chopped brisket, a baby back rib bone, smoked corn on the cob, and baked beans. Overall, the meet was good. Tender as could be. The only issue I take with them is the slight smoke flavor. Not enough smoke. In talking with one of the cooks, I learned, for example, that the ribs were both for about 90 minutes, and then wrapped in foil to finish. That explains the white smoke flavor and the overall Inverness of the rib. I also made an ordering mistake by asking for the chopped brisket. I assumed since there was a brisket sandwich on the menu, that this would've been a plate of meat. It was more like a sloppy Joe, where the brisket was marinated and one of their sauces. It was still good, but not what I expected. The same guy that explained to me how the ribs were cooked, went back into the kitchen and brought me out two slices of brisket as I expected. That was very kind of him, and the meat was really tender. However, like the ribs, it did not have the strong smoke flavor that I like. Regarding the BBQ sauces, they have a really nice variety with 7 to choose from. One tastes like Open Pit (not a big fan) and one was laced with Old Bay (thought I was at a clam bake- good on seafood, horrible on meat.). The sides were OK, but nothing to get excited about. The baked beams were good, but not outstanding. The corn on the cob was fine, but like the meat, very little smoke flavor. Service was A+ read more

Mission BBQ - Chopped brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Parma, Ohio

The best 15 bucks I ever spent in my life. Juicy meat and flavor is spot on. I tried 2 meat sampler; brisket and Chicken. Delicious.. Added XXL combo; Mac and Cheese, baked beans and Beer. Free cornbread. Like come on.. Are you serious? I usually pay at least $50 in New York for same plate. Only cornbread is $3.99 in NY. They have 6 different kind of delicious sauces on the table too. Really good customer service as well. Very informative and friendly. I wish they had location in NYC but I am sure it is not going to be as good as this location. read more

Mission BBQ - 2 meat sampler and XXL combo ( beer and cornbread are included) - Barbeque Near Me - Parma, Ohio

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. I would give the food 4.5 stars on taste. And they have a couple of unique and tasty sauces. I placed my order; 3 ribs and lean brisket, collard greens and fries. My order was served up within a few minutes, actually faster than I had expected. The brisket was a little dry but I did order the lean, that's on me. But the three ribs were tiny! More like rib tips and they were kinda fatty. I could have finished all of them in 3 bites. The collards were good and the fries appeared to be fresh cut and prepared to order. No complaints. One of the servers brought around a sample of the smoked chicken and it was delicious. The food tastes great but I was disappointed with the rib portion. read more

Mission BBQ - Ribs, brisket, collard greens and fries - Barbeque Near Me - Parma, Ohio

What a great concept restaurant and executed really well! Brought a large group of co-workers here on a recent weekday (first time for all of us), and we all walked away full and extremely impressed! Mission BBQ is one of the newer fast-casual style restaurants that cater to the growing love of 'Que. With smokers clearly evident right behind the service counters, these guys are trying to do it the right way and infuse all their meats with the goodness of fire and smoke. Before you order they will allow you a sample of any meat you choose...might be good for those thinking about lean or fatty brisket for example. I decided to go with a two-meat platter and added a single spare rib (on the side) to give them a try. Platter also came with two sides and cornbread, although I sampled other sides as well. The pulled pork and (moist) brisket were both tender and juicy with good, subtle smoke flavor. The spare rib was way too soft and fall-off-the-bone for my liking...the only real disappointment in the whole meal. There are six sauce choices...my favorites were the "KC Classic", "Memphis Belle" and "Smoky Mountain" versions. Sides sampled were fries (crispy and perfect), mac-n-cheese (gooey and slightly tangy, bitey cheese) and beans (sweet at first, then a peppery kick). Cornbread was on the dry side, but good flavor especially when butter was added. Plenty of regular and sweet tea to drink. The lines were nearly out the door and the seating area (with some long, communal tables, booths, etc.) was bustling and lively. We will most certainly be back! read more

Bangin BBQ. I got a brisket sandwich with fries and BBQ baked beans. They ask which type of "cut" you desire, I chose meatier instead of marbled and I had sweet tea to drink. Good portions, fair price, BBQ sauces and paper towels at every booth and table. Military, Police, and Firemen decor populate the walls. There's a huge black Mission BBQ food truck parked in the lot that looks pretty cool. Sucks about it being in downtown Parma, but what can you do? Don't speed to get here, it's worth a slow drive and not getting pulled over. read more

Delicious! There is not a side dish that I tried that was not delicious! And the different kind of sauces they have for the meats. On more than one occasion I have asked for a sample of all the sauces and they have provided. Great customer service! The workers are kind, patient and friendly. They explain the options well and give free examples! The meatloaf oh my it was the most delicious I have ever had! They change up the sides frequently to give you chances to try different ones. On one particular occasion we ate there and they came around to give us sample dishes of their food! Definitely felt like trying more! You do not leave with an empty stomach unless you are taking your food to go! read more

So good!! So very good! This was my first time here and it will not be my last. I informed the cashier that I was a first timer, and she enthusiastically offered to help me decide. The manager on duty came over and explained the food prep process and let me know that the mac was prepared in house several times a day. He mentioned the freshness concept as well. He asked my preference for sauce and gave me 3 samples to take home. All were superb. I ordered a smoked turkey sandwich and mac and cheese as my side. My only regret is not ordering more. I guess that means I will be back. I also love the focus on the military in decor and theme. read more

Food was good! A little bit pricy! No sides come with your sandwich! Just a sandwich! But good! What happened to the days you received at least a side with your meal! read more

The food is subpar. They smoke everything and it's actually nauseating. Carolina BBQ is so much better and you don't have to put up with fake patriotism like you do at Mission. Some people may like that but it seems to me like a bunch of MAGA idiots running the restaurant. read more

My workplace ordered Mission BBQ for a luncheon and it was delicious! I don't live near this restaurant so the odds of me trying were pretty slim but I'm so glad we had them cater our lunch! I enjoyed trying the different BBQ sauces and was glad we had pork, chicken and brisket to sample too. The baked beans were yummy. The other sides looked good, but I have a dairy allergy so I couldn't try the mac & cheese or green beans with bacon (wasn't sure if it was cooked with butter). Very good lunch and if I'm near Parma, I'll make sure I stop in for another meal! read more

I truly would recommend this place good food nice and clean surroundings pleasant atmosphere

Had my second helping of Mission BBQ for dinner this evening. There was a fundraiser supporting Parma Police in which 100% of proceeds went to the police. That is a very generous offering! I ordered brisket, ribs, and a turkey slider with sides of mac n cheese, baked beans, cheesy potatoes, and french fries. After a short wait, the food was delivered and taken to go. When I got home, the food smelled awesome and tasted even better. My favorite item was the brisket, which I ordered fatty and didn't regret one bit. I think fatty brisket is better than lean, as a general rule. The brisket was amazing. It had a great taste, texture, and smokiness. Coupled with Mission's homemade smoky mountain BBQ sauce, the brisket was killer! The ribs were a little on the dry and salty side, but were good with sauce on them. Mission offers six BBQ sauces with various influences from around the country, but the smoky mountain was hands down my favorite. So good! I can't wait to try all the menu items! Welcome to Parma, Mission BBQ! We are happy to your fine establishment in our neighborhood serving delicious, high quality BBQ. read more
