Love Mission BBQ From start to finish, no matter the dish Mission delivers on the flavor. Now, you may have come for the Bbq but you'll be delighted by the desserts and all the side dishes. The service is excellent, very helpful. The place is decorated with military equipment, pictures but also Fire personnel pictures. They make delicious bbq but also honor those that have served our country. They are definitely a great place for a meal, if you are a meat eater.
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!
another awesome trip to Mission BBQ. I want to commend one of their cooks, Jose. Jose was preparing my food, but they forgot to write gluten-free. Jose immediately took off his gloves and remade it so it would not cross contaminate. Well done. I think tremendously of this gentleman.
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.
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?
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 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.
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.
First time can you believe it? I LOVE BBQ and have NO clue why we've never set foot in the place, but we did & LOVED our experience. The order taker was very nice, personable & helped explain how we needed to order. Order at the counter & wait for your name to be called. Everything seemed very efficiently run, everyone had a task & seemed to enjoy their jobs, which was great to see. I ordered pulled pork and Cold (aka coleslaw) Slaw platter and it came with cornbread. Hubby ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and fries. Both looked excellent and good sized portions. We grabbed a soda at the fountain, picked out a nice table for 2 and began sampling 4 of the 6 sauces at the table. I ended up with 3 favs & just rotated between them, could NOT pick a favorite. The pork was tasty on its own, juicy & only found 1 small piece of fat. The cornbread was very dry, so I doused it with Memphis Belle and elevated it. Husband thought his chicken sandwich was excellent, chicken was moist & flavorful. He ended up enjoying the Texan Tang sauce. All-in-all, a great experience, we will be back. read more
Dropped by MISSION BBQ to try their seasonal sweet, Strawberry Shortcake. The dessert was flavorful with a good amount of whipped cream and strawberry sauce. It was delicious, I just wish I had been able to get a bigger portion size. Can't wait to check back in to see what dessert they put out next. read more
The best American BBQ spot in the DMV, hands down. Mission BBQ delivers consistently fantastic food with tender, melt-in-your-mouth meats served in generous portions at a great value. I've tried Michelin-starred BBQ in Texas, and Mission holds its own; arguably even better. The service is just as impressive: attentive, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The ambiance is also unique, with a meaningful tribute to the men and women in service that reflects the heart behind their mission. Make it your mission to give them a try; you won't be disappointed. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Had dinner with my Mom at Mission BBQ for the first time. This is the most patriotic restaurant I have ever been to and I LIVE for this!!!!! The ribs and cornbread were wonderful, the country music was amazing, the staff were fast and efficient, all the diners were clearly so happy to be there, and the decor was all related to military/police/fire & rescue and it was wonderful to see that kind of total respect for a change. If you have a desire to give back in any way to first responder orgs all over the U.S. (I do!) check out their website as all the orgs are listed and there are tons to pick from. Special shout out to Ingrid who went above and beyond to ensure me and my Mom had the best possible experience and I saw other diners walking over to her to thank her before they left the restaurant so I'm hoping she gets recognized for her outstanding customer service. Can't wait to go back. read more

We have been coming to this location for years now. As a family, we usually get the meat platters, with brisket (lean and moist with extra bark (for me), pulled pork and turkey, with mac and cheese, green beans, baked beans, even the seasonal potatoes. We have even catered from them too! We love mission bbq! Love their mission and ambience (they honor our military and law enforcement!), the staff is always really nice and the food is always great! This last time we had the (moist) brisket sandwiches with Mac and Cheese. Omg! It was wonderful and huge! read more

I'm from Kansas City, Missouri, where BBQ is king. Moving to Maryland, every bbq I had for years just didn't compare. Then we found Mission BBQ. Walking in, I feel like I've stepped back into Kansas City with the all-wood interior and the smell of roasting meats in the air. Service is spectacular - fast, polite, and always helpful. And the bbq - the best! I'm a sucker for bbq turkey, and Mission's is fantastic. To top it off, their selection of sauces from the big bbq states is bound to make anyone happy - even if they hail from places where the bbq isn't as good as Kansas City's. ;) read more

Food here is absolute perfection!! The brisket had the perfect amount of flavor and it was juicy.The cornbread was great. The green beans were really good,I loved the addition of bacon. The fries were crispy and fluffy inside. Loved the various drink choices by the soda fountain. Service was absolutely fantastic. I had a couple of questions about some dishes and they were answered pretty well. The atmosphere was super chill and calming. It's very clean. Definitely recommend and will be coming back. read more

You raise an interesting question here. My research comes up a bit sparse for an easy answer to Mission BBQ "off menu items". So far all I have found is "Burnt Tips" and a "Rib Sandwich" as possibilities you can order. In another search I found that…
