Here's my take on the food, keeping in mind everyone's, preferences and taste are different. I've have had BBQ throughout the USA having lived and traveled all over this country.
My take on Missions BBQ, the food that I love and crave.
Here are my thoughts on some of the items I have tried. First off I'd like to say, what I like best, is that meat is seasoned and cooked/smoked with out any sauces on the meat, making the meat the star of the dish.
Starting off with the sliced brisket, you can get either fatty or lean, it is well seasoned with a smoky crust, followed by a beautiful pink smoke ring which encapsulate the soft juicy, pull apart tender beef, a true winner and example how BBQ brisket should be. 5 out 5 for me.
The pulled pork is moist and juicy with bits of the smoky seasoned crust mixed in giving it a 5 out 5 for me too.
Both smoked link sausages, the Jalapeño cheddar and The Classic #41 are truly delicious with a nice snap from the outer casing when you bite into these well made sausages. Again 5 out 5 for me.
The Half chicken like the other meats, is seasoned nicely and cooked to perfection, being hot, moist and juicy inside with just a hint of smoke to it. For me I would have like a bit more of that natural smoke kiss to the meat. Still a good choice though, a 4 out of 5 from me.
I have also tried both the baby back and spare rib, both to me being very similar slightly smoky, fall off the bone ribs. For me I like to have a little more of a crusty bark on the outside of my ribs along with a little bit of a chew or pull from the bone vs these that just fall away from the bone with out any resistance. There again that's just my preferences. 3-1/2 out of 5 for me and probably 5 out 5 for someone else.
I have also had the pulled chicken, again like the other meats, it was juicy, not dry at all, with just a hint of smoke, very good but, not my first choice against these other great meat choices.
There are six main BBQ sauces to pick from with a few other options if you don't care for these main six. My two favorites being the Bay-B-Que (with Old Bay seasoning) and Texas Twang (with Worcestershire sauce) great on beef for me.
All the sides that I have had, have been extremely, well made and tasty. So far my favorites are cheesy potatoes and the baked beans a BBQ staple. The baked beans have the positive flavor and aroma of sitting right next to a smoky camp fire. read more
