Mission BBQ - Spare ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Good bbq, fast service! Would definitely go back. Pulled Pork sandwich was tender and delicious.

Very Good! I had the brisket sandwich with the Alabama White sauce and it was an incredible medley of melt in your mouth brisket and tangy sharp horseradish! It was great. read more

First time trying this place. I was in town from Texas, where we know our BBQ. Mission BBQ was very good. Lots of different meats available, quick service, and the variety of BBQ sauces at the table sealed the deal. I will definitely be back many times. read more

Good food but don't care for any of their BBQ sauces. Great sides and good friendly service. I ordered in and carried out.

Fantastic food and even better service. All the employees are so nice and friendly especially Connie!!! She is the best. She was training Grace who was also excellent along with a young man with light brown curly hair that I didn't catch his name. Great experience!!!! read more

It was an amazing experience! The establishment had military and 1st responders decor throughout on the walls! Something you don't see too much of...considering the times we are in! Kudos to the owner(s)! read more

Mission BBQ - Had the pulled pork sandwich...it was awesome! - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

The food is very good, probably the best brisket I've ever had. It is HEAVILY veteran and military based so if those things bother you, I would avoid. The staff greeted us immediately when we walked in and the young man working the register was very nice and walked us through the menu since we were first timers. The older woman who I'm unsure was the manager or owner was also very sweet and attentive. We went for lunch about 11 sharp. Another reviewer mentioned they felt uncomfortable because they are a gay dem, and I'm not invalidating their experience, but so am I/my partner(I'm female) and my experience wasn't anything like theirs. But we're also ex-military so we were familiar with the environment which could be shocking if you are not since as I mentioned before, the decor and theme is very heavy military, to the point it kind of feels like a VFW lol but if you don't care about that, it's some amazing BBQ and big serving sizes. read more

Went in to order food for a meeting I was having in a few days and the manager and the staff said oh just come in the day before to get what you need so we did that. I bought 6 huge pans of meat 2 of mac and cheese and 1 of baked beans. I told them we would be in to get it at 10:30am the following day for a meeting that was starting at 11 on the other side of town and that was perfect they said. I sent my mother in to pick it up and the manager was a complete asshole and it was not ready until 11 he is lucky that she did not get his name or I would file a complaint with the company! We will never go back and I would not recommend mission bbq for any catering or getting food for your own events! read more

So, we have a young son who cannot yet be vaccinated against COVID-19, which means we are still being cautious about eating indoors and often call in orders or order online and pick up food for at-home dining during peak hours. We did this last night at Mission BBQ. We had never eaten here before, and I was having a bit of trouble with the online ordering options, so I called in and talked with Cody. Every restaurant or business in general should have Cody working for them. This kiddo was amazing. Pleasant, helpful, insightful about the food and offerings. He recommended sauces based on what I had liked in the past, and even added an extra sauce for me to try that I didn't order (this ended up being my favorite). He took his time with helping me place a large order for my family and really made the experience easy and enjoyable. The food was wonderful as well, still hot and tasty (& we had a 20 minute drive home). Nothing was missing or sub-standard. I can't wait to go back and try some more of the delicious sauces and sides. Thank you, Mission BBQ and especially Cody for making our Friday night at home and our first experience with Mission great! read more

Super Freindly and Amazing staff! Great food, ready in minutes. Try the mac n cheese!

Blecchh!! I didn't know i was walking into an environment of patriotism and the ignorant southerners. The whole place is heavily decorated with pro-veteran decor mixed with lots of cute southern slang about the BBQ. I had the pulled pork sandwich. The meat was pretty good but the BBQ sauce selection was pathetic. REALLY TRAGIC SAUCE. There is no decent BBQ place in Springfield. read more

Best BBQ in town! The smoke all their own meats on site. The Mac n cheese is fantastic. I love the smoked turkey.

very clean, bright place. ribs were great, perfectly done. staff were kind, accommodating. My overall feel's very comfortable, eating there is more than about food; even fellow customers look joyful. I was there 8-14th-2022 afternoon about 5:30, lots of customers, yet the service was very fast. This Mission BBQ made my Springfield Illinois trip very pleasant. Just found out this is actually a chain, did not realize it was, i though it was a single existence; will go to another Mission because of the Springfield experience, starting from the one in Madison, WI sometime this fall. read more

First time trying. To go order, fast service. Brisket, pulled pork and St. Louis style ribs with cheesy potatoes and coleslaw. All great! Nice selection of sauces. Really like the Baja sauce in the pulled pork, slightly spicy. Big slices of corn bread too. We will be back! read more

Date of visit 4/3/21 at about 5 pm. Self service must be the new standard in the restaurant industry now. I must say I'm not a fan. Had to stand in line for about 10 minutes before we reached counter to order. After order waited about another 10 minutes before food was ready. Mission appears to do great carry out business as there were always about 6-8 customers at the end of counter or standing in front of the self-service drinks. Those of us dining in then had to wade through the crowd to get our food. Wife had the 5 bone spare ribs, baked beans and cheesy potatoes. She liked everything the only problem being the ribs were only luke warm. I had the 5 bone St Louis ribs, beans and coleslaw. Ribs had good flavor the only problem was both the ribs and beans were barely warm. At least the coleslaw (average) was cold read more

Very good food! Fast service. Everything had a nice smoked flavor and the green beans were the best I've ever had. read more

Hello me and my family came into your establishment in Springfield IL, we had a fantastic time! The food was amazing! Your employee Kaden was outstanding with helping us take our trays to our table and assistance in anything we needed. - Melissa Cunning read more

Really good. Very reasonable on pricing. Clean. Good service. The bread pudding stuff is awesome. Exceptional green beans. Green beans are very similar to Texas Roadhouse and they are as good. Very good for the price point. I would write them below Smokey Bones, but they are much lower in price. read more

Very good service as they are efficient and friendly! Great tasting food and the price is right .

I love this place so much it's food was amazing and the costumer moo service was amazing too. Our food came out in less than two minutes. But the reason I didn't give it five stars was because the kids food was just a little bit overpriced. But overall everything was perfect. read more

It was okay - some issues were the ribs were not hot and definitely older because they were very dried out. The sausage casing was so tough you could barely bite through it with your teeth, so I am guessing it was older sausage too. The workers are very nice but it was awkward when one came by to just see how the meal was which is totally fine, but he kept standing there with more questions like how many times we have been there , and so on while we both had our mouths full The green beans said homemade so i was excited, but they are just canned green beans with some chewy pieces of bacon in there. I was hoping the food was more fresh, but it all tasted like it had been sitting around for a while. There is always lots of people gathered up front where they do pickup, so you always need to wade through people to get to the drinks. I would not consider this good bbq but maybe I'll try again if I knew what time would be good to show up to get fresher hotter food. It was like leftovers you heat up the next day. read more

Very good BBQ. Staff and manager are awesome. Love the theme and their support of police, fire, first responders and the Military. All of which need our support more now than ever. Definitely will support this company. read more

Fantastic BBQ ....I have been here 3 times & they never disappoint! I have tried the ribs, black plate Ribeye & my favorite...the "lean" brisket! You can get it "moist" a little more fat.... Did I mention there are 6 sauces on every table to choose from! All are good from spice to sweet and in between. There are awesome sides Mac & cheese is my favorite! Be sure to be there at noon....our National Anthum is played everyday for respect for America & to honor those that have served & are serving. Brings a tear to my eye every time. Today was a special day the manager Matt Bimonte accepted a shadow box of my husbands grandfather that was KIA in Notmandy France. What a better place for it to be hanging and the National Anthum played every day! read more
