This Mission BBQ was very nice and the workers were very pleasant. I'm never actually been to a Mission BBQ where there has been bad service yet and hope it never occurs. I ate inside and the ambiance was very relaxing. Two different people came by and checked on me and my dad. You absolutely feel welcomed at this location! The food was good. I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich, beans, and green beans. All were very tasty and filling. I would absolutely recommend this location due to the ambiance, cleanliness, and pleasantness from the staff! read more

I came here with some work colleagues for takeout. We got here, picked up our food, and got back within 30 minutes which was amazing. It was busy at lunchtime. Ordering online was easy. As we arrived inside, the gentleman packing up our orders was friendly and asked about sauces, receipts,etc. Mac and cheesy was toasty on top, very creamy. Pulled pork was flavorful and tender. I like the slaw as well as the mountain state bbq sauce, which had a nice tang to it. I've been to other locations and this one is on par with them. read more

This was really good. I think last year we came a few times and the brisket was really dry. We stopped coming to this location for awhile. This was very good this time. read more

This was some of the greatest food service I have ever experienced. The cashier came out from behind the counter to shake my hand and welcome me to the restaurant, and then walk through the menu. They also brought out a Savannah Mustard because they thought I'd like it with the food I ordered. Friendliest and most hospitable group of employees I've had the privilege of interacting with! Food was delicious too. I will definitely be back! read more

Went for dinner last night, and it was a great experience. Food was great, people working there were great, and we were there in the peak of dinner hour on a Saturday night and the service was fast and we had no trouble getting a table. It had a positive atmosphere. A few random observations: 1. The portions are not huge. If you have a decent appetite, you won't be going home with leftovers. If you have a huge appetite, you may want an extra side. 2. Reportedly, most Mission BBQ locations do not have alcohol on the menu. This one has a few types of beer available. 3. You order at the counter, and you go up to get it when your name is called. Not unusual for a BBQ place. However, someone does come by and check on you after you've sat down with your food to see if you need anything else. It's nice, but it's quite unusual to have that in a restaurant that is not full service. 4. The oddest thing was that we weren't sure if we were supposed to bus our own tables when we were done. There were trash cans around, so we did, but it seemed like maybe we were supposed to leave everything on the table when we left. read more

I come eat here probably once a week since it's close to work. They have always been very nice and the food is always good. Isabella is always so sweet to me. It's also pretty quite when I come in so that's nice read more

The service here was absolutely amazing! one person stood out the most to me and that was a young man named Laurence Vincent. He made sure we had our food on time, he was super polite and made our experience a THOUSAND times better than usual. I was already having a bad day, unfortunately, but this lad really brightened my spirits! in my opinion he deserves a raise if possible if not employee of the month for sure! Absolutely outstanding!!! read more

Food was amazing and Jordan was beyond gracious- coming back 100% and you should too!

Very rustic inside just what you want when going to a BBQ joint. We went around 7 and there were still ppl eating and coming in after us. You order at the front and they will call your name out when it's ready. Different BBQ sauces on the table. I only tried two. I got the NY pulled pork sandwich that has tangy slaw on top and side of fries. My meal was delicious. read more

Ordered catering for 100+ people this past weekend. Have used the Fredericksburg location a few times previously and this was the first with Stafford due to proximity near the base location. Nothing against Fredericksburg, but the quality of food and service from the Safford location surpassed previous experiences. Thank you Mission BBQ for mouth watering meats and sides making this reunion a success. Next time I'll know to order more sliced brisket as the juicy meat went instantly. Special thanks to the set up crew who went above and beyond. Try them for your next event Folks. Thank you, thank you, thank you. read more

The two ladies that helped me were absolutely wonderful and so good and friendly that I will. One back just to see them. I see one lady who knows every third customer - just a great ole school feel. And this is great bbq!! read more

Food and service were fantastic. Had the pulled pork sandwich and tried all kinds of different sauces which was actually nice to have options at the table. The baked beans were also a solid side. Last loved how at noon everyone stops what they are doing to honor the flag as the American national anthem plays. Will absolutely return. read more

Family and I are visiting Virginia and went to Mission BBQ on Garrison Rd last night (11/4 ) for dinner. It was recommended. Great ambiance - I loved the medals, Marine quotes, pictures, and the army trucks parked outside. I ordered the 5-rib Baby Back Ribs. Goodness ....I should've ordered the full rack!! It was sooo goood. The meat was tender, practically fell off the ribs! And the multi-sauce choice ...absolutely amazing! What was impressive was learning that Mission BBQ does NOT have refrigerators. All the food is prepared daily. WOW!! And their smokers are right there for anyone to see. My meal arrived with fresh, crispy, hot fries, and cornbread. Wonderful meal. I was hungry, and it hit the spot!! We'll be visiting again, and will definitely re-visit Mission BBQ again. I'll be getting that full rack of Baby Back Ribs. read more

I got the try them all combo. The brisket, chicken, and jalapeño cheese sausage. Sides were baked beans with brisket and potato salad. The service was great. Very polite and fast service. The brisket was amazing. Very tinder and juicy. The beans and potato salad were the perfect sides. It even came with corn bread. The place seemed very military friendly. It is rare when a place is proud of our service members. read more

I've been going to Mission BBQ for years. However, this one while the staff was wonderful in general, it could be cleaner, and I found a hair in the middle of my hamburger. Not gonna be ordering that again. Ever. read more

Visiting from Houston, I had high expectations and Mission BBQ delivered! The brisket was great, I loved the selection of sauces on every table, and the staff were very friendly. The manager in particular went out of his way to make me feel at home and take care of me. I loved the music and overall vibe too. Solid 5 stars out of 5 and I will be coming back every time I'm in town. read more

Visited Veteran's Day, and had an amazing experience! I have to pass on my greatest thanks to Mission BBQ, the staff, and more specifically Bishop this evening. Stopped by for dinner, tired from the day, and was welcomed by multiple staff as I entered the door. A gentleman at the register (Bishop) saw I was ready to order and quickly assisted me. He was very friendly, hospitable, and respectful as I took my order. He asked if I was a veteran and personally shook my hand as he thanked me for my service. This truly made my evening and experience. Mission BBQ's staff always goes above and beyond my expectations and this Mission BBQ goes even further. Again, my greatest appreciation to Mission BBQ of Stafford for the great experience, hospitality, and great dinner. Thank you! read more

Great bbq brisket and pulled pork - can't wait to try more! Great sides too. Have loved everything I have tried.

Love the atmosphere, great food and Amazing people. Great place for bbq, and they cater for office or home parties read more

By the time Friday rolls around, I won't oppose the idea of eating out. This Mission BBQ is now open for dine in and take out. For dinner I had a pulled pork sandwich and baked beans. The pork was moist and tender, while the baked beans were just right. My pulled pork went great with the Texas Twang sauce. Both hit the spot and were more than enough to fill me up. Staff at the restaurant were courteous and service was good. Ample parking is available. This is a great, convenient location if you're on a road trip on I-95. read more

I was hungry and it was getting late. I went inside and got a beef brisket sandwich to go. It was so good.

Due to the cost & efficiency on Take Out the day before, Mission BBQ was our Crew Meal for lunch the following day. Although my BBQ fixin's comprised of a Salad & Seasoned French Fries, I was happy my crew of 45 enjoyed their catered meal while on base at Quantico. Kudos to the employee (Krista?) who took the order over the phone (even with my colleague having to call 2x) as she got everyone's order correct. A collective of Brisket, Salmon, Turkey, Ribs, Salads & a handful of Sides - Mac & Cheese, Green/Baked Beans w/Brisket & more. MB doesn't just offer the normal BBQ Sauces - Georgia Mustard, Alabama White & Texas Twang...huh? There was no lack of utensils, sauces, handy wipes or paper products for the massive containers of Tea & Lemonade. It's rare to hear compliments on how fresh the teas/lemonade tastes which resulted in many Arnold Palmers being made. Kudos to the MB's green effort in using recycle products. To that end, I appreciate our Marine escorts for helping me avoid waste as they received all the leftover unopened products & drinks. No complaints with the preparations/portions, especially from our Celebrity VIP who double ordered on the Bay B Back Ribs & was "overly" satisfied. The prices & service made me & my budget happy. read more

I visited the Stafford location and i go there from time to time to get carry out. I went there today with all intentions of picking up an order however when I opened the door to step in, I was greeted by Myles. He had the biggest smile and was just a pleasant young man as I talked to him while I ordered. It was a great experience so much so that instead of picking up, we decided to sit and eat. Great job Myles and Mission Barbecue. read more

I always order a pulled pork sandwich and it has been constant and tastes amazing for the price! I love the array of BBQ sauces helping the food be more flavorfu as I do pour the sauce on the sandwich. The staff is constitently nice and provides amazing service. My favorite part is the atmosphere. There are so many trinkets and pictures from the military, cops, and firefighters to look at. read more

A friend (Adam D) and I stopped in here for lunch a couple weeks ago (on 9/11 actually) as we had both heard good things. When we arrived the place was PACKED, but we were able to get in and get a table. Because of the 9/11 anniversary, the place was full of first responders who were having a showcase of equipment and had a nice little ceremony with the National Anthem. Anyway, my buddy ordered the two meat platter (brisket and baby back ribs) with fries and cornbread and I had the three meat combo with ribs, pulled pork and smoked turkey with coleslaw, beans and the cornbread. The food was great, though I personally like my beans a touch sweeter. With six different sauces on the table I just kept rotating with each bite-they were all pretty good, but I don't remember the name of the one I like most. Place was clean, service was fast and friendly and the food was great. If I'm back in the area I will happily return. read more

Literally some of the best BBQ I have ever had by far. Raised on Smokey, Texas BBQ, and found this place on a whim. 10/10. Super fast service, food was beyond incredible. Staff is so friendly, and we even ended up ordering more because it was so delicious. Definitely going to be coming here at least once a week. I would have taken more pics but we ate our food so quick. Totally have to go! read more

Delicious BBQ with a menu that's short and straight to the point. I greatly enjoyed my NC pulled pork sandwich. Buns, meat, and coleslaw had the right consistency. I was pleased to find there was a hefty amount of meat. The sauces that are available are very delicious. They all have their unique flavors and are a must try. I also liked the mac and cheese a lot. It was very cheesy and had good crispy parts to it without feeling overcooked. The staff members are nice and quick to serve. The ambiance is casual, clean, and patriotic -- so much so that they play the national anthem everyday at noon read more

The restaurant has a delightful array of bbq sauces. Service was really friendly. My husband is a marine and they thanked him for his service with 4 brownies!! Ambiance is very American. It had walls with veterans that were KIA to honor them which is patriotic. Overall my husband said "they've earned a customer for life". Can't wait to try the rest of their food next time! read more

They WILL skimp you on the amount of meat you get. I ordered the three meat sampler with brisket, pulled, chicken, and pulled pork. I felt that the portion size was a lot smaller than what I normally get from the sampler so I decided to weigh it once I got home. Absolutely ridiculous the pulled pork was only about 3 oz, I did not weigh the brisket or chicken but the portions looked about the same. $19.45 for about 9 oz of meat. Been a long time customer since it's right next to base but they just lost me after this. read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled pork portion from 3 meat sampler - Barbeque Near Me - Stafford, Virginia

Great purpose, cool decor and very patriotic and first responder friendly! That being said, I literally can't stomach eating here more than 2-3 times a year. Not because of the food but because of the portions and prices... I appreciate as former military and a first responder the "vibe" and the local donations (I really do) BUT - most military and first responders you cater to - can't afford to pay these prices. I watched the family of four ahead of us pay $95 dollars for their meal. Nothing fancy, no giant portions - just a mom, dad & 2 kids. Kinda ridiculous... It's good service but it's not that good of food. read more
