When you enter a Mission BBQ restaurant you are greeted by a smiling host and the aromas of a smokey grill. This restaurant is one of my favorites for comfort foods that feed your heart and soul. The turkey, pulled pork, brisket and sausage are fantastic! All their sides are tasty... my favorite is the crunchy creamy coleslaw. I love the Mission of Mission Bbq. I am always humbled by the decor in the dining room that are tributes to those that have served our nation. Keep the mission going! read more

Come on dahn! Mission BBQ accomplished! Yeeehaw, the tender brisket and pulled pork hit the spot! We got the 3 meat platter and a sandwich for two and had a portion of leftovers. The Texas beans are great and occasionally have a chunk or two of brisket! The staff is always really welcoming and kind, which means a lot. Mission BBQ delivers on their mission and for that, we should all be thankful. read more

If you are looking for amazing BBQ in the PGH area, look no further. This is it! I stopped here when I was headed back to the city from the airport and had amazing brisket, Mac and cheese, fries, and sweet tea and lemonade. I got an apple cobbler to go (actually saved it for the next day and it was still absolutely delicious). They have at least 8 different types of BBQ sauce here, which was super fun to try them all. There is one for everyone here -- sweet, spicy, mustard-based, etc. I was particular to the smoky one. I wish one of their locations was closer to me, as they all are outside the city center, but I would make the trip to visit again in the future. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will note that because they smoke their own meats on-premises, you probably will walk out of here feeling like you smell a bit like the smoke.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Dried out meat with poor flavor. Staff was super nice, great greeting. Just sub-par food

I ordered to go two nights in a row since the brisket was so good! I had the brisket, the chicken, beans and the banana pudding and everything was really good. The order was ready when I got there and both days I was given a free fountain drink. Great service and great food! Highly recommended! read more

Juicy brisket with lovely hospitality! First time trying this restaurant in the West area of Pittsburgh on the way to the airport. I haven't received such a warm welcome anywhere! Everyone here has something kind to say! What a differentiator. I ordered the brisket plate with french fries and everything was delicious. It was a lot of fun tasting all the six sauces that comes at every table. My favorite was the Memphis Belle. I am saving the corn cake for the morning with my coffee. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to coming here again. read more

The only thing holding back this rating is the cost. $34 for a two sampler and 3 sides is just too much in my opinion. The service was good, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is a museum to our military and first responders. It's is beautiful place to enjoy good food and reflect on our country[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

This was my first visit inside Mission BBQ. I've had catering from them but I wanted to try the in person experience. I was very impressed! I arrived around 1140 AM on a gloomy Saturday. Like a good BBQ restaurant you order the BBQ before you sit down. I decided to have the pick three meats (lean brisket, pulled pork, and traditional sausage). I also had a side of fresh cut fries. The meat was very good. I really enjoyed the sausage and brisket.Fries were nice and salty. Three meat meal and fries was $25.00 which I felt was very fair. There are six different sauces and vinegar at each table as well as the essential roll of paper towels. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In addition to being very clean, every employee I encountered was extremely friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was my first visit, but it will not be my last. I highly recommend stopping by. read more

Great place. Excellent food. Impeccable service. Cathy was simply AMAZING! The wet brisket, broccoli salad, macaroni and cheese AND banana pudding are incredible. read more

Food is phenomenal. Service is impeccable. They thought of everything that made the day even more memorable . Highly highly recommend.

First time to this Mission...and last time. Service was beyond abysmal. Baked beans were soft, pasty, gluey things with a thick sauce on them. Ribs were some better. Flavor was meh. Sauce was just ok. Meat pulled off the bone when you grabbed a bone, and you were then holding a meatless bone, with a pork steak left on your plate for you to eat. A rib should have the meat attached and you gnaw it off the bone. I would try the brisket next time, but there won't be a next time. read more

Bring your appetite! This is a "every last bite" experience. We had the ribs, pulled pork, Mac'n cheese, baked beans, banana pudding and brownie. Pushed ourselves to eat it all. The service was excellent - high above what we've come to expect in today's world. Every employee we came into contact with was pleasant and engaging. Hats off to manager Hunter Beardsley and his team. With every penny - can't wait to come back. #716 JHS read more

Located on main road with a large parking lot. Great barbecue. Can't go wrong with the smoked turket breast and brisket...two of my favorites! Lots of sauces to choose from. Fountain drinks, but also a variety of bottled soft drinks. Very reasonable prices given the quality of food. Great well-maintained space with tons of interesting decor throughout. Staff is very patient, friendly and efficient. Would love to return to try some more meats and sides... read more

This place is the best of both world's: The great, authentic taste of a local mom n' pop coupled with the insane efficiency and ultra-customer focus of the best chains. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a chain, but it doesn't really seem like one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came here multiple times for lunch while working nearby. I was able to get in and out insanely fast and the food was also amazing. You gotta answer questions about your brisket, which is how it SHOULD be! The brisket isn't moist beef jerky that scrapes your throat, as it SHOULD be! For sauces, that have a wide gamut of ideas on BBQ, something for every palate. For sides, they had a rotating collard green side that was really good. Impressive for a Texas-style BBQ place. Sadly though, the greens are not a year-round side, sadly typical for a Texas-style BBQ place. read more

What a delightfully delicious restaurant to come across. The food was fantastic, and adding to this is a very friendly and welcoming staff who definitely deliver the goods in the form of a great meal and fun experience.

Food was average and completely overpriced. $24 for a brisket sandwich, two sides, and a drink. Brisket tasted more like the pot roast that mom makes. Fries and lemonade were good. Baked beans were average. Probably won't return because of price. There are several other options nearby that serve the same quality food for a much lesser price. read more

Yum! We've eaten here many times. The BBQ is always amazing. Juicy, flavorful, reliably, reproducibly excellent. Our favorites are the pulled pork (juicy and best the first day) and brisket (somehow the left overs are even better the next day!) We love the corn bread. They make my absolute favorite potato salad!!!! Come early or they may run out of the potato salad. The kids love the Mac and cheese. The service is impeccable. The staff are unfailingly kind and helpful. On the phone and in person. Again and again. We got a to go pack this time. The company is clearly tinkering with the method of To Go and it's getting better and better. This time everything was packed in foil containers, with plastic lining the top to prevent spillage. There is now a sign indicating where to pick up your Online order. Which is a new thing. It comes with a full bottle of bbq sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]the military vehicle outside--good photo op. they have many service and military related honors and uniforms displayed inside and sports events playing on the big TVs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] they are kindly able to deal with food allergies. You can call it a chain. But this particular restaurant is as good as the NC and famous Memphis BBQ joints I've tried. We love this location! And the staff are much nicer and more helpful than certain BBQ places much closer to us. The bottom line is the food is superb. We travel for this BBQ!!! 10 stars out of 5 Highly Recommend read more

Food is always delicious, fast service, and friendly staff. Manager always checks in at table to see how we're doing!

Awesome food and it benefits veterans. I would recommend everyone going there to eat.

Made a pretty big online order to be ready for 6:30 pm on a Saturday.. Arrived at 6:30 and told the cashier we had an order to pick up. She gave us free drinks while we waited. Once my name was called, not even 5 minutes after arriving, they showed us our entire order and also threw in some free sauces because it was our first time. Even offered to carry it out to our car. Top tier Service from everyone at Mission BBQ. Food was amazing as well. I'll definitely be back read more

I just had an excellent meal at Mission BBQ in Robinson. I had a wonderful NC style pulled pork sandwich. It had just the right amount of slaw on it and the NC vinegar salute on the table was perfect. The fresh fries were excellent too. Service was quick and we had the added bonus of being there for the noon anthem. Management made it even better by giving us a coupon for a free sandwich since we sang along to the anthem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was nice to be in a place that celebrates America and doesn't make u apologize for your beliefs[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food is tasty and well worth the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great go to, especially for families that want to take a break from cooking dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Reliably very good BBQ in Pittsburgh. Service is usually pretty quick and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the patriotic feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The national anthem being played at noon is pretty cool too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I would just like to say my visit today on 3/7 was the BEST customer service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. The staff was unbelievably welcoming and had an amazing interaction at the register. I will come back to this place over and over again because of the customer service and care from the Robinson staff. 5 stars!! Sadly the reason why I did not put 5 stars was I got the black plate special today of the bbq shrimp and sadly my shrimp were still gray and very undercooked and rubbery BUT I have never experienced an issue before, this was obviously just a mistake. And will for sure be back to try something else and visit the great staff. read more

This chain does a nice job of serving up some decent BBQ and sides. For the individual entrees, they are not the best that I ever had. But it is solid across the board, and the Baked Beans with Brisket side is a standout. The staff is really engaged with the customers. I like that they double-check right in front of you every carry out order to ensure accuracy. And if things are not right, the managers will bend over backwards to make things right. read more

Everyone is always super welcoming when you walk in. They have been great when helping me order with celiac disease. The food is always really good too especially the brisket! read more

Good food. Good service. Left satisfied. We will be back again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can't wait to bring my family here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

We are always so pleasantly surprised with how much we love the food here. Genuinely some of the best bbq in the area. For a chain it is amazing. The brisket hits every time!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is very casual and comfortable, but we usually get take out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We like it so much we drive over 30 min each way to get it! The staff is always incredibly nice and efficient. Excellent service! Our favorites food wise definitely include the brisket (you can choose moist or lean which is great for those with different preferences), smoked turkey, pulled pork and cheddar sausage. The green beans and baked beans are also very good. Their sweet tea is also delicious! Be sure to try all the sauces. We like the Alabama white especially with the turkey or fries! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. There were a few people in front of us but moved quickly. The person at the register was great. Helpful in explaining the options. Ordered a brisket sandwich and baked beans that comes with some brisket in the serving. The brisket sandwich was very good and a nice amount of meat. Enjoyed the baked beans. There are six different sauces at the table and a vinegar based sauce available. Having tried most last stop, just added my favorite. Most of the sauces are OK but not ones I would buy to take home but there are so many, the is probably one for most everyone if you like to add sauce to your BBQ. read more

After a busy day of gift shopping we stopped in to try this location. We were confused between this and mission mahi but they are different; though let me tell you this is really good! Ordering is at counter, with your name called for pickup right down the line. The cashier was really nice and helpful and seemed to be having a good time which is always good to see! We chose the pulled chicken with mac n cheese, and spare ribs with collared greens and baked beans. We got fountain drinks and we're not done setting them up by the time the food was ready, quite fast! We set up our food at the table, there were six BBQ sauce options. All were good, ranching from sweet BBQ to spicier versions. I like Bay-B-Que and Smoky Mountain for sweet BBQ with some spice. Wow sauces were good, portions were good too! Sides were also very tasty, collared greens were really tasty and standout. As we were wrapping up the owner came up to check in with us, see how everything was and offer more info on the food and stories. It was really nice and stood out as an added kindness. After we were done an employee came and got our trays which was also really nice. Overall very good place, definitely try it! read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled chicken and 5-bone ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I ordered lunch for a customer in the area and heard great things about Mission BBQ so I decided to give them the business. They did not disappoint, the staff from ordering, confirmation, and pickup did a tremendous job. Everything was very easy and requires very little from me. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures but the food was amazing. I got a bundle of the pulled pork, chicken, and brisket. Along with sides of sweet potatoes, green beans, and Mac n cheese. Everything was fantastic. High recommend Mission BBQ even for large catering events. read more

Yummy yummy yummy. That's the perfect place to start bcs it was mouthwatering, flavorful and seriously I'm salivating right now thinking about it!!! Only drawback, expensive. $50 bucks for two people for lunch feels a little steep, but let's be honest, I'd do it again. All of the meats we got were tender, well cooked and delicious. The real star was the green beans. The bits of bacon? Oh lawd they made me cry out! Good food, casual atmosphere - bring your appetite and your wallet. read more

Delicious food with a focus on community. Walking in to Mission BBQ, I'm greeted with an amazing smoky aroma and friendly service. I ordered a chopped brisket sandwich with sides of cheesy potatoes and collard greens. After a short wait, I picked up my food at the counter and sat down in the rustic, comfortable dining room for lunch. With my pick of extra sauces at my table, I enjoyed my juicy sandwich and extra creamy and cheesy cheesy potatoes. The collard greens had a nice depth of flavor. I will definitely be back to this excellent community drive restaurant read more

I really like Mission BBQ. I love that they are pro-military and pro-first responder. I have been to one other Mission BBQ (in Florida). I ordered the sampler of 3 meats and 2 sides as. everything was very good. As soon as i ordered and sat down, a bus arrived and about 50 people got in line (I'm thankful i was ahead of that). I enjoyed my food, and got out of there pretty quickly to free up my table for the bus crowd. Once again, huge fan of Mission BBQ, their food and what they stand for is awesome. I'll be back! read more

Mission BBQ - Three Meat Sampler (brisket, sausage, pork). Beans, fries, and cornbread. - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Visited yesterday, 4/13/24, for the millionth time, and it was amazing as always! Starting with the customer service, as soon as you walk in the door the employees welcome you in with a smile. You place your order at the counter, and the order is pretty much ready before you can even finish paying nine times out of ten! Yesterday I got the pulled pork sandwich with a side of French fries, and it was amazing! The pork is a perfect balance between moist and dry, sometimes pulled pork from other places is either way too dry, or way too moist, but at mission BBQ it's almost always perfect. The French fries were extremely fresh as always, one of my favorite places for French fries! I've tried plenty of things from mission BBQ, and everything I've had is always very solid. Please give them a try! I'm sure you won't regret it read more

Stopped in for dinner with coworkers and was seeking something on the lighter side (I know, it's BBQ, it's not supposed to be "lite") and opted for their salad with chicken on top... it was pretty good! The salad itself was good, but the ranch dressing was on the boring side, needed lots of salt and pepper to improve the flavor. I also tried a single baby back and a single spare rib along with my salad. The S.t Louis was boring, had no meat and tasted "old" and definitely had no smoke to it. The baby back was decent and meaty though. Both needed lots of BBQ sauce to make the taste good. The place seems to get busy at dinner time, but the lines moved quick. The folks are very friendly and helpful there. read more
