    Freebie dessert for Vets
    Lenny C.

    In the many, many, many times that I have dropped in to a Mission BBQ ad hoc, it has never disappointed! And this one is a great example! Lots of free parking, loads of friendly staff (over a dozen of them when I dropped in for lunch), and the food is always great! I also love how they treat vets - on this visit, without me asking, they added a free dessert! Speaking of vets, the walls are as usual covered in patches, photos, and the stuff that makes vets and anyone else feel homey!

    Good vibes. The older gentleman that was servicing the dining area was very welcoming, friendly and attentive. You dont get service like that anymore. Would recommend this location. Food was great also but service was exceptional. Five stars all around. Will return!

    Ayanna was amazing. I went to order my food and I'm glad she was the one helping me through the process because she was super helpful and very friendly. I told her it was my first time and she helped me pick the best things on their menu. At the end she also gave me a vulture so the next time I go i can get a free sandwich. She also gave me a drink of the house which was great. Now the food was pretty good. I got the brisket and the ribs with a side of Mac and cheese. The brisket was alright, some parts of it we incredibly salty and some didn't have any flavor but because they had a bunch of different BBQ sauces on each table for you to use it helped. The ribs were pretty good as well and so was the Mac and cheese. I will be coming here again though to try more of the things on their menu.

    The food was good, sauces were great. The service tho was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the ribs and the pulled pork. We got the brisket but it was a little dry for me. My favorite BBQ was the old bay one. It had the perfect little kick. Everyone there was so helpful, accommodating and just nice all around. I would come back just for the atmosphere itself

    A few of us was recommended Mission BBQ since we wanted something different. This spot is located on Rockville Pike near other restaurants and has a private parking lot with lots of spaces. After looking over the menu which has plenty of options, we placed our order online which was fairly easy. GRILLED SHRIMP ($13.84) The size is just as i wished and grilled to perfection, this was sooooo good esp with the BBQ sauce. I'm glad they have seafood options instead of just meats. SALMON ($15) They give a decent size and it was cooked well, I just wished it was grilled like the shrimp. It have more baked that grilled in my opinion. If this had char marks with extra smoky flavor, it would be perfect for me plus with the BBQ sauce, chefs kiss. MAC N CHEESE ($3.39) Sadly, I was disappointed in the mac n cheese, it wasn't flavorful nor cheesy in how I expected. The presentation was beautiful but the taste didn't match expectations. Maybe using a different cheeses and/or sauce base and adding more seasoning might help. CORN ON THE COB & DRINK DEAL ($5.75) I haven't had corn in forever but this was good esp being grilled and buttery. I got 1/2 tea 1/2 lemonade and BABYYYYY this was perfect!!! This drink alone needed to be in a gallon container bc the way I wanted more was insane lol. CORNBREAD (FREE) It was a cute size, definitely perfect for the meal but if you can eat it all, you must have a big appetite because the food was beyond filing. I wish it came with butter and a honey drizzle. BBQ SAUCES (VARIETY) I love the sauces but my favorite is the HONEY HEAT, spicy with a touch of sweetness. I like how they give you as much as needed and perfect for finding what's fits your tastebuds. Customer Service was nice and accommodating especially after messing up part of our order. It was greatly appreciated for them to fix their mistake which is recognized. I wished they had better meal deals/pricing and some improvement on some sides/food. Overall, I'm glad to try this spot.

    Mission BBQ catered an event at the National Mall on Memorial Day I attended. Everything came out fabulous and our veterans all came through with smiles and heartfelt gratitude.

    Burger and fries!

    Best burger for the money! Huge, huge and ground brisket! BEST BURGER! PERIOD! If you ever want a burger this is your best bet period! Who knew?

    Three of the 6 bbq sauces available.

    Came for lunch today. I got the 2-item platter with two sides, as did my partner. Between the two of us, we got moist brisket, ribs and classic sausage. For sides, we got cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans. Each platter comes with a cornbread. Ok, so here goes. The sausage and ribs were delicious. The sides were delicious. The corn bread was delicious. And the moist brisket was . . . Brisket. It wasn't particularly moist and it tasted like what I would get if I bought a brisket at the grocery store and cooked it myself. It tasted like a piece of brisket. No smokiness, no sense of it being cooked for hours with any particular style or care. It's really disappointing. Like, I'm not getting that again. I watched as the kitchen sliced it and I could tell while watching that it was not particularly moist. The people working there were friendly and came by a couple of times to see how we were doing and to clear off the table when one of us was done. There are six sauces available and each is different, with varying degrees of spiciness and sweetness. Of the six, I preferred the Memphis Belle, Smoky Mountain and Tupelo Honey Heat. The sauces remind me of one other thing. To me (I lived 7 years in Texas outside of Houston), moist brisket should be outstanding on its own and shouldn't need sauce. But this brisket, being neither particularly moist (we both asked for moist) or unique, benefited from a liberal use of sauce. Unfortunately. I'd like to give the place a 3.5 because the brisket is so disappointing, but am rounding up for the friendly staff, the sausage and ribs were good, and the availability of 6 interesting and tasty bbq sauces.

    The fatty brisket.
    Papa G.

    I was looking forward to mission bbq after visiting the Germantown location. I ordered the brisket here and it was ALL fat. I got a severe stomach ache and had to miss work. I think I got food poisoning and wish I knew how to report it. They only had one stall occupied by another patron who was having issues too. Lessons learned... not all mbbq's are the same.

    Cheeseburger, pulled pork sandwich, fries

    Service was great. All the workers were very helpful and friendly. I did not expect them to come around and offer samples of pulled pork. The food The meat here is great, crispy and melts in your mouth. My favorite sauce was the Bay-B-Q. One thing though is I wish they toasted the bread on the sandwiches and gave them a little crisp. It was like straight from the bag to the platter. The menu was reasonably priced except for the wings which were dry and too overpriced for me. The Ambiance Don't know where to begin. Amazing vibes here. From the pictures on the walls to the military style barrel trash can and metal platters very cool. Makes me more patriotic every time I walk in. I saw one lady working on her laptop here like at a coffee shop so I must not be the only one that likes it here. Best place to grub in wintergreen. Worth a visit.

    Baby back ribs
    Stuart M.

    The place has a nice retro feel. WWII photos on the wall. Rustic decor. Friendly service. I had the turkey. Moist, tender and an assortment of sauces to dress it up. My sides were cole slaw, and greens. Both were properly done. My wife had lean brisket. It was tender despite being less fatty. It had those charred ends that brought added depth to the meat. The same sauces as with the turkey, were useful adjuncts to the meat. Serious eats without the unnecessary frills. That works for me.

    Brisket with greens
    David W.

    Great time with my baby the other day we decided to stop off at the Rockville location and have dinner and yes it was delicious as always, the brisket was nice and tender beans and greens very tasty. The service was excellent we received our food before we could even fill our drinks so that's always a good thing. Nice and warm feel to the dining area.

Although they commented that a pickle slice/wedge accompanying the sandwich would have been nice, since the place is a deli. I got Emma's Protein Bowl, which was a large bowl with Kale, Brown Rice/Quinoa Blend, Falafel, Edamame, Chickpeas, Corn, Cucumber, Grape Tomatoes, Avocado, Black Lentils, Kalamata Olives, and Hummus. I got the Italian dressing on the side. The salad and dressing were good. The kale was crisp and flavorful and the veggies and other ingredients were fresh. The falafel was the one disappointment. The Bowl comes with three falafel balls. Each was hard and dry. There was flavor in there, but the toughness and dryness masked it. I ended up throwing one of the three balls away. Ugh. I gave Bean Bag 5 stars for our first visit and am not going to change the score because of the falafel. I thought about it, but everything else was very good.

Parking in the plaza was free. After finding a spot, I walked in and looked at the many choices they had to offer. As I was trying to figure out what to get, the great customer service I got from that point onward was 12 out of 10. I settled on one of their signature sandwiches and got it on a wheat roll since I am not a fan of rye bread. It was called the "Miami Beach Special". Menu describes it as having corned beef, pastrami, and coleslaw with Russian dressing, lettuce and tomato. I settled on the Beanie size and that was still big, but I enjoyed every bit of it. I was informed that everything was made fresh and I liked that. I also got a cup of chicken noodle soup (yum) and a Snickerdoodle cookie. I heard their cookies are great so I couldn't leave without getting one. I sat at one of their tables indoors and enjoyed my meal. I would visit again. There are so many options to choose from.

I made a call in pick up order and got the chicken parm sub $11.75 and gemellis pepperoni special $24. Also, the service for ordering and picking up was quick and easy. - The chicken parm sub was solid, but the main problem was the lack of tomato sauce. - The pepperoni special was a miss for me, and that's unfortunate cause I remember it being way better last time. It's cheesy, but the lack of tomato sauce and the dough/bread being underwhelming/ weak really ruins the taste experience. Overall, it seems that Gemelli has definitely fallen off in terms of the quality & taste that I've enjoyed previously. Don't know if I'd be back, but I do know that their chicken parm and polpette subs are still worthy choices in my eyes.

It is a cute restaurant located off of Boiling Brooke Parkway in Rockville, Maryland. The inside is decorated with warm woods and shelves and freezers filled with Italian frozen entrees, desserts, and sauces. As you walk up to the counter, you are warmly welcomed. I ordered the Italian cold cut sub and the meatball sub. They have a huge assortment of chips. I am really regretting not picking up a package of my favorite chips. Next time... Service was great. The gentleman who waited on me couldn't have been nicer. It took about 5 minutes for my food to be ready and I was out the door. I want to echo other reviewers, when I say there are no tables or chairs for eating. This is strictly order your food and take it with you. My meatball sub was delicious. It was packed with large portions of meatballs, that were roasted in a tasty marinara sauce. The roll was fresh and soft. I highly recommend this sub. The Italian sub was good, but it was crying out for a little lettuce and tomato. I know that they offer the sub with a green sauce, but I found the taste of the sauce oily and too parsley heavy. I was really glad I had it put on the side. Other than that, the Italian meats were tasty and the sub roll fresh and tender. Prices were reasonable, it was about $20 for both subs. I will definitely return to get some homemade pasta and that tiramisu that was tempting me in the fridge. Gratzi,Vignola Gourmet.

The owner helped us choose a "soft" sub roll for the porchetta and a "hard" Italian baguette for the cold cut sub. The food was all very tasty and felt like we traveled to a simpler time where ingredients shine for themselves. The porchetta was tender and flavorful, and together with the soft roll, kind of reminded me of a Taiwanese gua bao or Cantonese charsiu bao. It was incredible and smelled so delicious! The cold cut sub was simple and well balanced, and good with the harder baguette. Lastly, the handmade pappardelle was delightfully chewy and reminded me of Chinese hand pulled noodles. Didn't expect to have such parallels with Chinese food- and I enjoyed reflecting on how different cultures can come to have similar tastes and values. Next time we'll have to try their desserts and more of their menu! Can't wait to come back. Go check out this gem in Rockville, and experience a taste of Italy!
