    Brisket, pulled chicken, green, Mac n cheese,peach cobbler
    Vicky C.

    When you first walk in you instantly smell the bbq! The restaurant was nice and clean. I like the photos and decor on the wall. I was greeted by a super friendly cashier, I placed a to go order and my food came out pretty quick. Customer service was 10/10 The food was great, the peach cobbler was sweet. I wish they offered a banana pudding as an alternative.

    This place has been my favorite place to eat since visiting AZ. Who doesn't like BBQ? It has a wide selection of food soft drinks and sides. Service was excellent and the ambiance inside is great. They have football on all the walls from navy football to firefighters and police men and women. The food was very tasty they give complementary small drinks to all children. Plenty of seating outside and inside. Everyone in the establishment was so nice and welcoming 10/10!

    I love that they have the sauces on the table so you can go as light as you want or drench that meat lol. I had the brisket moist and it was good. My son and god daughter had the pulled chicken and said it was dry they dont care for BBQ sauce but like the juicy smoked meat. The bread pudding was good and they had plain brownies at the registers. Staff was super nice. Lots of seating and they are military supporters but dont give military discounts but the person at the register shook my friends hand and thanked her for her service. We thought that was nice but a discount would have been nicer. Plenty of shopping nearby. Prices were not great. Higher a la cart so a meal ends up being $20-$25 a person.

    Salmon with Coleslaw side

    Great BBQ Ambiance with lots of photos and meaningful quotes inside. The food taste is also good but could have more of a smoker kind of BBQ flavor. The Salmon at $17.49 was a little too dry and didn't have much of a spice rub on it. It also was not moist as indicated. The Sausage was so-so but much better than many other places like Foley and Boo. The coleslaw was the best but if they can add some crunch to it like salted peanuts, it would be a winner. Soda machine area wasn't clean and one side was not even working. Overall, we liked it but they can improve on the BBQ taste. Sauces especially the Classic was delicious. Cornbread was way too sweet.

    Top notch service. I stopped in for meat to go and I wasn't thrilled with the way it was cut. No problem. They remade it for me with no fuss. I wish I lived closer. I probably said that in my original review!

    Visited this place for the first time for lunch today. Conveniently located right on Cactus in Paradise Valley on the cusp of Scottsdale. Super clean entryway. Tons of ample parking. Tables and chairs were clean. Plenty of seating for you, your family and your closest friends. Walk in. Place your order. Fill your drink. Find a seat. Pop a squat. And chow down. I went with the brisket sandwich. You can order it lean - with all the fun, fat and flavor cut right off. Or you can order it moist - full of fun, fat and flavor. I opted for fun. The bun was fresh. The brisket was flavorful, tender and each bite made me full of glee. I opted for fries as my side They were a wee bit on the salty side for me but still full of flavor and nice 'n hot! Pricing was reasonable for what you get. Their claim to fame is there's no microwave nor freezer which would indicate everything is made fresh to order. Not quite sure how they're pulling that off with a smoked meat menu, but I'm not here to challenge their business model - just informing you of what they informed me. I'll definitely be back to try other meats. If you're looking for a smoked meat joint, give these peeps a try!

    Mission BBQ New restaurant that opened up at the old Paradise Valley Mall along Cactus Rd. Wanted to see what Mission BBQ has to offer in BBQ. We ordered the Moist Brisket which seemed more like Lean Brisket, wanted that taste of a little bit more fat infused juicy brisket. Brisket was just a bit dry for Moist Brisket, added bbq sauce to help a little Sausage is always a favorite of mine so if you have good sausage, generally it comes from bits of your brisket, ribs or other meats to combine a good flavorful link. Their sausage was good to okay. Smoked Hawaiian Ribeye sounded like a winner but was on the dry side and a little tough. Baby back ribs were good, probably the best entree that we had tender and flavorful. Cornbread is another favorite of mind with BBQ and was delicious. I very much like what the restaurant stands for and their support of the military

    Tried out this new BBQ spot in Paradise Valley with high hopes, but unfortunately it missed the mark. I ordered the sampler to get a feel for everything, and every meat on the plate was dry and served cold -- brisket, chicken, pulled pork, all of it. Not what you expect (or want) from fresh BBQ. On the upside, the sides were decent and came out hot, which was at least something. But when you go to a BBQ joint, the meat should be the star -- and here, it just wasn't. If you're looking for a spot with a similar vibe but much better execution, I'd recommend checking out The Thumb instead. Better flavor, better quality, and you actually leave satisfied. Here's hoping this place can work out the kinks, but as it stands, I won't be rushing back.

    Turkey smoked
    Brad W.

    The smoked turkey sandwich was pretty good. It had 3 thick slices of turkey. There was no option to add onions or pickles and the bun was standard. The turkey didn't really distinguish itself, but was good. I tried two of the six sauces. Also its $6 to add a side and drink. The sides are tiny, so I passed. Sandwich was about $10 59.

    First visit to a Mission Barbecue! They know what Barbecue is all about!! Smoked Cheeseburger with Lettuce, Pickle 0n aYummy Bun. 6 barbecue Flavors that mu my Cashier explained as she delivered my AWESOME Meal. Got a salad. 1/4 excellent beef. Barbecued to perfection! They back our troops worldwide! Large Restaurant.. plenty of pictures

    Brisket sandwich, and lots of hot fries

    Visiting from Colorado, had to check this place out. Was worth the drive from our hotel. Portion sizes were pretty good, must have had 2 generous 1/4 pounds of brisket and pork. Fries were cooked to order, and they reminded me of Five Guys. Yum. Prices were very reasonable and the portions generous. Wish we had one in Colorado. Their support for our troops and veterans is commendable.

I enjoyed my conversations with the staff working. While I don't try the açaí bowl this time, I did get some food, and I was delighted with what I tried. The menu has a lot of options from açaí bowls, bagels, toasts, hot and pressed wraps, and wraps and salads. They also have smoothies, juices, shots, and snacks. I ordered a sandwich, The Hawaiian, a Hot & Pressed that included chicken breast, spinach, purple cabbage, carrot, and pineapple. It came with a bag of chips and some ginger dressing. It made for a delicious lunch! I learned about the regular and gluten free granola options, so I plan on stopping by again with my wife so that she can order an açaí bowl. While the food was great, the customer service I experienced was top notch. The team member working answered my many questions about food items and shared a bit about the company. As the only location in Arizona, I was intrigued to learn they have 40 locations around the country with 30 more on the way. Many of their locations are on the East Coast (in Florida). You can visit their website at https://3natives.com to find out location information, see their menu, learn about catering options, place an online order, get gift cards, and so much more. This particular location is open daily from 7 AM to 8 PM except for Sunday when they are open from 7 AM to 6 PM. They also have the 3Natives Rewards Club (https://3natives.com/rewards) which offers points for purchases which can be redeemed for free food and beverages. You'll even get 50 points for signing up which are enough for a free snack. While I remember visiting the location way back when it was a Starbucks, now I can visit 3Natives and know I'll have a good experience. I certainly recommend 3Natives to anyone else in the area looking for some healthy food and drinks!
