Came in for a quick dinner on a Monday night and ordered the brisket with coleslaw which also came with cornbread and a drink. The food came out very quickly and there were a lot of sauces to choose from ranging between sweet to hot. You can't tell by the picture (taken in 0.5) but the portion sizes were large and very filling. I had plenty of leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Although the food was good the staff was what makes this place exceptional. The staff instantly put a smile on my face with how welcoming and kind they were! read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket and coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Went to Mission BBQ with my family and honestly had a really comforting experience. The food came out hot, flavorful, and tasted like real homestyle BBQ. The brisket and mac & cheese were definitely the highlights for me. read more

There is work to be done here. Service: As with many openings, the place is overstaffed to address the initial training of staff and over cater to customers. So on service, they are crushing it. Having been to other locations nationwide, I expect the service will continue to be top notch. Food: This is where it all falls apart. I am hoping they overcome first month trials and errors. We had 4 proteins ordered: - Pulled pork was decent, but dry - Spicy sausage was very good - Turkey, dry to the point that it was not very edible. Eating it without sauce was impossible. - Pulled Chicken, again like the turkey was way too dry. Sides seemed to have fared better with fries cooked perfectly, although the portion was on the small side. Cheesy potatoes were excellent. Corn bread, was you my have guessed it: dry. Overall: will give them another shot in about a month, when I hope the standards are set. Mission is a solid chain, WAY better than Dickeys and better than City BBQ as well. Only drawback is they offer 6 sauces, none of which are very good. I end up settling on Texas Twang, but this is a problem for the chain. read more

Not bad just not great for BBQ. Meat is expensive so it is important to hit all marks; tenderness, flavor, portion size, quality of ingredients. No real standouts in any of these areas. We will stick with our tried and true Sunnyslope option. read more

For our dinner tonight we tried Another newly opened restaurant called "Mission BBQ", at the renewed PV Area. So nice, it was clean, friendly and welcoming staff, many choices on the menu, & delicious bbq sauces at each table. We liked it well enough to go back. The restaurant mission or concept is an interesting one. Locals check it out. read more

Mission BBQ - Main seating area - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great BBQ, a bit in the pricy side, and would have loved to a beer with my meal. Food was yummy , had the sliced brisket and ribs, both great and the "special" side was good too, mashed potato thingy. Would go back read more

I decided to try out this restaurant since I pass it all the time going down cactus. Was standing and staring at the menu and the kid maybe he was in his twenties but to me he's a kid, took his time to explain the platters and gave us samples of the brisket to see if it was something we would enjoy. All the servers there were really welcoming which these days is really unusual for young people in the service industry. We got the ribs and the brisket which came with a load of fries and the food was really delicious. But I absolutely can't say enough about how great the service was and how friendly everyone was that was employed there. Would recommend! And by the way, I couldn't finish everything and walked out with a very full belly! read more

Mission BBQ - Ribs, brisket and fries - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great BBQ. I like being able to pick my own BBQ sauce for my sandwich or meat selection.

Average - below average BBQ. Brisket was way too salty to the point where I couldn't finish it. Fries were soggy. Baked potato was 14 dollars and just eh. Go try another place , chances are it'll be better and bette value for what you're getting even if it's more expensive. read more

Ribs and brisket juicy fall off the bone tender, wonderful tribute to our military men, with all kinds of military decoration! They even salute the flag at 12 noon every day! read more

Ribs were overcooked ( how do you do that)-dry. Smokin Butts ribs better BUT the sauces at mission are excellent! Sides are not that good. Should have tried another meat. read more

We love bbq and this new location is close to home so we decided to give it a try. Upon arriving we saw the giant Mission Bbq military looking truck parked outside and the photos of fallen soldiers inside. We ordered our takeout and the cashier was extremely helpful and friendly. It was time to pay so, given the decor and the "mission" of the restaurant, my husband pulled out his veteran's ID and asked for the veteran's discount. Imagine our surprise when we were told they do not give one. He was instead instructed to sign up for the VIP club and he would get a free sandwich. The food itself was fine and the portion size was generous for the price. However the lack of a veteran's discount seems so strange. It's not even about the $5 or $6 we would have saved. It's more about a restaurant leading with their support of military and first responders, but needing to collect all of your personal information and send you endless marketing emails to reward you for something they seem to hold so dear. No matter how good the food might have been, I left with a very bad taste in my mouth. read more

Husband & I stopped in this evening to try out restaurant. I had pulled pork market and he had a pulled pork sandwich. He had a $6 combo add on that included a side ( Cole slaw) and drink. Food was good / really enjoyed trying all six of the different styles of bbq sauce. Personally think Smoky Mtn was best. My corn bread was tasty too. Cashier was pleasant and restaurant is nicely decorated in patriotic fashion. read more

Food was great and "real" BBQ unlike some of the other more popular BBQ brands. I enjoyed trying all 6 BBQ sauce flavors with Baja Bold and Smoky Mountain being my favorite. Unfortunately I will not be returning due to the pricing. The chopped brisket sandwich costs 165% of what it does at another popular chain - Rudy's. The food between these two chains is on par with neither being better than the other. Will be going to the place where I receive a much better value for my money read more

Came here on a whim with my family and we all had brisket, jalapeño sausage, ribs, mac and cheese, cheesy potatoes and fries! You can tell this place cares about their patrons and treat them like family! Not only is the food delicious but the customer service is top notch! If you don't mind some spice, the jalapeño sausage is very tasty! Will definitely come back for delicious BBQ! read more

Enjoyed it very much. Just stopped in not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The service is excellent and the restaurant is clean and organized. A couple of recommendations: they serve brisket moist or lean. Two orders of moist had a couple big slices of pure fat so if that's to your liking then order moist. Lean was a bit too dry on another order. So be advised. Now cornbread - why not give bigger slices? A tiny 2"x3" piece is way too small - double the size! Collard Greens are excellent! All in all we will figure out the best thing to order on future visits. read more

I have been anxiously awaiting the "order online" option for this place and was so glad to see it pop up today!! I'll preface this by saying I'm from Kansas City and I am a KC bbq snob - though I appreciate multiple styles. We ordered the two meat platter w sliced brisket and turkey; added two sides (green beans and bbq beans) and then also an order of ribs w two sides (mashed potatoes and bbq beans). I threw in two things of KC original bbq sauce and the NC vinegar. Both meals came w cornbread. Service was great for pick up, though be prepared to spend some money - we spent about $75 for that order. When I took my first bite of the brisket w the KC original bbq sauce, I was in heaven. If you're a KC bbq connoisseur, then know it tastes almost exactly (if not exactly) like Gates and as a person who used to order that online, I cannot tell you how happy I am!! It was DELICIOUS. My only two down sides were the mashed potatoes (lacked seasoning) and the fact I didn't get one of my bbq beans (we only got one, ordered two). But trust me when I say this will be a staple in our takeout rotation moving forward!! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I can't say enough great things about Mission BBQ! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the kind of warmth and friendliness that makes you feel right at home. The staff here go above and beyond -- everyone is so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special shoutout to David, the gentleman who walks around the lobby checking in on guests -- he is truly one of the sweetest and most personable people I've ever met. You can tell he takes pride in making sure everyone feels cared for, and it really made our visit extra special. One of the things I absolutely love about Mission BBQ is that every day at noon, they pause everything to play the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Everyone -- including the staff -- stands and pays tribute. It's such a powerful, moving moment and a beautiful reminder of what this place stands for. Hands down, the most patriotic place I've ever dined in. The food is fantastic, but it's the heart and soul of this place that truly sets it apart. I absolutely love, love, love it here and will be recommending Mission BBQ to all my family and loved ones! read more

These guys take food to local VFWs and that is so awesome! I didn't get to try the food but I looked great! Thank you so much for supporting our veterans!! read more

I've driven past this place many times but finally stopped in. Great atmosphere with dedication to service men and women and the smells are incredible! I ordered the turkey and brisket and they were outstanding! 6 different options for sauce at your table is great! I would come back for the collard greens alone!! The cheesy potatoes were way off my diet but worth every calorie! I was offered a special cup that sends proceeds to support our brave service men and women and had to participate. What a great option. I'll definitely be back!! Check these guys out!! read more

As the pictures show there was an odd looking piece of something on my plate of wings. When asking one of the employees about it she wasn't sure what it was and had not seen anything like it. She got the Manager. His customer service and personality skills were ZERO! His approach was one of no big deal. When asked about it he said ya, that's from our smoke ring. What?? Then he compared it with one of the other wings on the plate. No comparison. I said I have never seen a wing Iike this before. No apology. He finally offered to give me another wing. I declined because they weren't very good and I threw the rest away. His personality, overall conversation and lack of concern were disappointing. I gave it 2 stars not for the food or the Manager but for the young lady that took our order and Megan!! They both were great at customer service. Megan was fabulous and apologized several times about the wing issue and was kind enough to offer a brownie for our dissatisfaction! You need to make her a Manager because her customer service was on point, her personality was very pleasant and she actually cared!!! read more

Darn good brisket. The chicken is a bit dry so use sauce. They sing at noon so be prepared to stand for the star spangled banner. Very patriotic and good food. Good team and great service. read more

The service is great, the food is good, the bbq sauces are decent. I tried them all and just couldn't find one I loved. Ordering at the counter is easy and staff is ready to offer recommendations and answer questions. I went with the turkey sandwich and found the turkey to be moist, nicely smoked, and very flavorful. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. The sides were also good from the fries to the baked beans which had a nice sweet flavor to them. They have 6 sauce choices so I tried them all but unfortunately none of the blew me away. There is plenty of comfortable seating, including a few tables outside and plenty of napkins on the tables. read more

Let me start off by saying that the Smokey Mountain sauce is the best barbecue sauce I've ever tasted. Wow. I could drink gallons of the stuff! Mission BBQ has recently opened in PV and I couldn't be more satisfied. It has a really cool Patriotic vibe and very friendly staff. Pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches were both awesome. Mac & Cheese....divine. Baked Beans ....extremely flavorful. No complaints! I cannot wait to go back and try other stuff as well! read more

We ordered the brisket, beans, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. I realize that we are in "shrinkflation" but just so you know $15 gets you 3 pieces of brisket. It is want tender nor did it have much flavor. The beans were the best side but we ordered a pint and it wasn't even close to a pint. The coleslaw was as meh at best and the mac and cheese was nothing special. Could it have been an off night? Maybe. Rudy's is much better for the money and flavor. This just don't live up to the reviews and expectations. read more

Went there on opening day. I was so impressed with not only the food, but with the service and the ambience of the restaurant. They hit a home run on just about everything. Love the Mission of Mission. Could not recommend more. read more

Top notch and unbelievable service. Just wish they had beef ribs on the menu. Brisket was great and reasonably priced. read more

This place just opened for business this week! We were immediately greeted when we walked in by staff and supported by Addi at the counter. She was quick to make recommendations and swayed my husband to try the ribs!! The place pays tribute to our military and first responders - decorated very nicely. Did notice a few firemen as well as police officers in the dining area, enjoying their platters. Our food was served up quickly and definitely a place to try if you're a meat carnivore. Service! Food!! Ambiance!! Cheers and much success to this new establishment. read more

The service was amazing. They were helpful when explaining what their NC style was and whether it was eastern or western NC. The brisket was moist and had a great flavor. The different bbq sauces are delicious. I mixed the smoky mountain and Memphis belle. Highly recommend! read more

Food was amazing - Great staff - young man at the register with glasses is a gem. Coming from western NC I am always on the lookout for good BBQ. This place delivers - love their mission they donate to Tunnel to Towers. God Bless America - God Bless our Troops - God Bless our vets read more

First visit at Paradise Valley store. This place truly covers all the bases for a great BBQ. Turkey IS AMAZING! Buttery melt in your mouth yum. Pulled pork was also excellent. The rub shines coming out of the smoker! Coleslaw and baked beans are made exactly as all good bbq places should. French fries YUM YUM. 6 different sauces and all good on their own and mixed...we tried them all. Seriously....you're missing out if you don't try this place. The friendly staff goes above and beyond. You'll love all of it! read more

Excellent food and friendly counter staff. Nice ode to military personnel in the Restaurant every day at noon

I was so excited to go to this place, but very disappointed the ribs are good, but the only problem I found here in my macaroni and cheese other than that, the roads are good not too crazy about the barbecue socks read more

Got the brisket. Two slices were all fat. How could they think anyone would go back. Was hoping it would be good!

We had a wonderful experience at Mission BBQ when we went for our first visit on Father's Day. It was definitely busy considering the holiday but that did not take away from the delicious food and authentic atmosphere. I had the lean brisket sandwich and decided on the Kansas City BBQ sauce to add to it, it was perfect. The fries were also some of the best I've had and were very addicting. My whole family loved their meals. My kids got a kick out of the old-fashioned glass bottled sodas that tasted just like childhood. This restaurant is the kind where you order at the counter and then find a table, but there are servers walking around to help customers and clean tables. Our server was a nice, young lady named Shy who took great care of us. We also really loved looking around at all of the walls. They have an incredible collection of uniforms, photos, etc from those who have served in the armed forces and emergency services. It was inspiring and you could tell everything was done with a lot of heart and thought put into it. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious meats! The corn bread was ok. I love the atmosphere and how much they support our country. The staff was friendly and came by several times to check if we needed anything. Almost 5 stars read more

Amazing experience!!! If you want to feel good about America again, treat your self to Mission BBQ. The meats the six sauces the cornbread and coleslaw best I've had in Arizona. What took us back was the honoring of our veterans. Arriving before noon we were included with other patrons to sing our national anthem. Honoring service members throughout the walls. Respectfully thanking and appreciating vets for their service. Best fries!! Can't wait to go back and take family and friends can't say enough good things. read more

Tried Mission BBQ for the first time and loved the food. The Ribs were amazing. High recommend trying them.
