How grateful we are to Mission BBQ for always honoring their Veterans with "Armed Forces Week." During this week, they offer all active-duty service members and veterans a free sandwich on their designated day (Arm, Air Force, Navy, etc.). We came for a late dinner. We were warmly greeted by Mikaela and thanked for our service. We enjoyed two moist brisket sandwiches. They were very moist and delicious. Our son joined us for dinner and had a cheeseburger with French fries, which he said was delicious. Thank you again for making us feel so special! read more

On this cold Monday evening after the snow storm, I went to Mission BBQ due to there wasnt many options as stores were closed. There were a few patrons dining in. I was greeted by the cashier. She explained my options. I was not familiar with it being a la carte option. Its rather expense for this place. I chose the 2 meat option for $14.19 (beef and yard bird) w/greens and coleslaw. The young lady said $27 even. I was beyond confused. She explained that the combo is $6 for 1 side and soda or $8.49 for 2 sides and a soda. I said well both combo options are cheaper then what you are charging me. She said oh you did not say combo and the chicken was a $4 upcharge that she didnt mention prior. Great customers service would have mentioned that. So I decided to get pulled chicken and beef and the combo. For $23. I got home and the food was not good. The beef was to be lean and it was tough. The greens were too sweet and the cornbread was dry and hard to digest. The coleslaw was okay and my unsweeted icetea. I would rather spend my hard earned money at a sit down restaurant then here. read more

Stopped by a few days ago and was greeted as always, "Hiii Folks!" I opted for the black plate special which happened to be grilled bbq shrimp! My first time trying the shrimp and they were absolutely delicious. I paired the shrimp with the yummy kickin' collard greens and my faves, the fresh cut fries! My husband loves their ribs so he chose the 10 bone option with the mac n' cheese and kickin' collard greens as well! We ate good and slept even better. Mission BBQ will always be an option for us. read more

This is my go to location for Mission BBQ. Out of all the locations this one is by far my favorite. There is ample parking. The place is always hopping with people but not enough to make you want to turn around and leave. The people who work there appear to enjoy their job and it shows. The food is always delicious. I really love the moist brisket with a side of fries and an iced tea with lemonade. And if you are really lucky when they have the bread pudding, OMG, to die for. The absolute best desert you can get at this place. read more

I drove 4 hours to try bbq here. It was not a let down the bbq was amazing big portions and taste was awesome. I did stand in line 2 hours that was still worth it. They put on a short show to boot and it was great. Worth it read more

My boyfriend and I are from Texas and we're here for work, so we decided to try something new. Honestly, if there was one reason for us to stay longer, it would be just to eat here every day! The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, and everything was very clean. The staff took the time to explain the menu to us, which we really appreciated. The food came out quickly and everything tasted incredible. Definitely the best meal we've had since we've been here. We'll absolutely be coming back! read more

Top notch Mission Bbq experience. Im not sure how a chain can maintain such consistency in their food as well as their customer service, but Mission has it dialed. Delicious, lean brisket on a fresh roll, 6 options of bbq sauce and top notch sides. All this in a super friendly, welcoming environment. Will definitely be back. read more

Never having been inside a Mission BBQ, I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the staff were here. Since it was my first time, an employee came to my table and explained the sauces and even gave me a coupon for a free sandwich on my next visit. He then came around a few more times with free samples of tasty food. So nice and enthusiastic!! The brisket sandwich was delicious. A big hunk of brisket on a bun with lots of sauce options. I ate little bites of meat with each sauce so I could decide which I enjoyed the most. The mac and cheese was gooey and tasty! Overall, five stars here for yummy food and exceptional customer service. read more

Love this place. The brisket and green beans are my go-to, and the staff is always respectful and super fast. The patriotic theme is strong, but it feels authentic. Great lunch stop with generous portions. read more

Call them and put a take out order Amari the person took my call very polite and helpful fantastic customer service first impression and when I pick up my food all the staff at the counters are smiling at us and very attentive. The food is so good just what I expected to be. The place is very welcoming so as the decor it has a very respectful atmosphere for our military people so as their family. I would like to thank them and would love to come back again . Keep up the good work!!! read more

They have great menu, that changes every month. It is clean and the staff is great, I go there quite often.

Decided to grab a pound of brisket, sides of mac n cheese and baked beans. I also got a smaller side of green beans and banana pudding. First of I ordered online and it was ready at the time the pick up said. So I was happy about that. The inside looked nice and clean, and it appeared as though they were nice and organized. Now this was the day before the fourth but no excuses. Now mission bbq depending on location has been hit or miss nor me in the past. This was my first time at this location. The brisket was so flavorless, and super fatty. I mean I have eaten brisket from a lot of mission bbq and I was so disappointed. I know where you get moist that there is going to be fat but this is supposed to be a pound of meat that was mostly fat. Plus without seasoning/rub it just tasted like meat and fat, no other flavor that was coming through. The bbq sauce didn't even help. The Mac n cheese was decent, the green beans were good, the bbq brisket beans were just okay, they were tangier than I am used to. The he banana pudding was actually good. Overall, it was just okay. I've had better, maybe it was an off day because of the holiday, I'm not sure but maybe I'll give it another try on a random day. read more

Food was delicious, and the meat there always has a special flavor to it. The walls are full up with pictures and patches of first responders. All of the employees were dressed up nicely and decked out with the spirit of "America First". All a great look for an American company! read more

Damn Instagram food porn. Mission had a teaser on IG yesterday promoting their Turkey sando. With an extree tease of a Alabama Q sauce drizzle. Oh, the power of suggestion. That bird is for me. Low and behold, my bride and I stop by for a late lunch and I had the video of that Alabama drizzled sando etched in my psyche. And I ordered it. I did the XXL combo with the Mac and Cheese and slaw. My wife ordered the half yardbird with sides of broccoli salad and green beans. All said and done some $30.93 later, we left happy and I may not need dinner. read more

Extremely good. The ribs are fall off the bone, the bones and brisket is great. Truly worth the drive

I love going to Mission BBQ. The sides use to be my favorite until they started to load the green beans with bacon and the collard greens with a ton of tomatoes. I ordered a pint size of collard greens thinking I would avoid so many tomatoes and HALF of the pint was tomatoes and not very many collards. This is getting out of hand. read more

Good food! Good service! Awesome ribs and brisket!! It never takes long to get your fill and drink here!

We've put off visiting this chain for years because of that... it's a chain. How special could it actually be? We have friends and family that professionally grill, smoke, and barbecue... again... how special could this really be? Does it match up to uncle's multi-day smoked brisket? We'll see! It lived up, not 100%, but it still was delicious and we were pleased! I ordered the lean brisket sandwich and husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed lunch! The service was fantastic... almost too much! We walked in and were essentially yelled "Hey Folks" at by all the employees behind the counter. All the ladies were almost overwhelmingly sweet. Another lady came to check on us outside and make sure we were doing okay. Thank you for a positive 5 star experience. We visited right as they opened on a Saturday so I'm curious what it would be like in the middle of a dinner rush and what the quality of food will be like. We plan to be back! read more

Visiting from Texas where BBQ is a staple. This is some of the BEST brisket I've ever had. Great job Mission BBQ! Highly recommend and will visit again! read more

We decided to check out the recently opened Towson location. It was wonderful! Food was delicious. Our family had ribs, brisket and chicken along with great sides of mac and cheese, fries and coleslaw. Service was quick and Erin was so attentive, friendly and simply lovely. She made the experience awesome! We will be back soon! read more

I had the most amazing tender smoked brisket. It was so tender that I didn't need a knife. I'm not quite sure which BBQ sauces I had, I told the guy who worked there to give me a variety. They were all yum. The cornbread was really moist. And I absolutely loved their peach cobbler. I will be back:) read more

We had a takeout sampler tonight -- and Mission BBQ was good! we had the salmon, the pulled chicken, the pulled pork, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and ribs. Everything was nice. The lightly rubbed salmon was really good, we also liked the chicken and the pork. The sausage was fine, a little hot from jalapeño, and bursts of cheddar gooey flavor. The pork ribs were dry rubbed and tender. All the meats were mild, the flavor was not intense. The extra sauces we had, Smoky Mountain, and Texas twang were good. The sides of beans were just OK, well cooked with bits of onion and bacon. The french fries were very nice. We also had blueberry cobbler which was good. In sum, a good tasting experience. The service was excellent. The person behind the cash register was friendly, and there was an extra person at the end of the line to make sure our order was all set, called us by name, and did a great job. Excellent service! read more

For anyone that reads my content, you know how I feel about chains. I'd rather patronize a local hole in the wall than go to a chain. I make occasional exceptions. Mission is one of those. My son goes to Towson. Mission is right nearby. When I pick up the boy, we always go somewhere interesting before heading home to New Jersey. And every adventure needs a good lunch. Mission is a terrific place. Easy in and out. We always have the same thing. Brisket, fries and beans. Cornbread. Spicy bbq sauce. Hey Corporate! Please refer to your Brisket as lean or marbled. Calling it "moist" gives me the skeeves. We get the juicy stuff. Wish the platters had more of it but what is served is always good. The beans are outstanding and fries, freshly cut, are very tasty although a lighter touch with the salt would be appreciated. I'm always excessively thirsty the rest of the day. So, sometimes, chains are a ok! See you next time. read more

I liked the concept of the place but today when we tried it, they messed up my order. I ordered the salmon and got what looks like a chicken sandwich. I doubted myself and thought: " I didn't know the salmon comes shredded in a bun!" Well, it definitely was not salmon. The rest of the party got the correct order and liked their meal though. read more

The staff is very friendly. We ordered the black plate special last week, it was amazing. We came back tonight and ordered it again. Our meal was hot, the corn bread is so good. We will be back again. You are our new go to restaurant. read more

Love this place. Food is a real bargain for how tasty and fresh it is, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The pulled pork is my go-to, but the chicken is also good, as are the ribs. Oh, and I don't know what they're doing to the mac and cheese, but it is DELICIOUS. My one complaint: sometimes, if you order ahead, you check in with the people at the counter, but then when they move you down to the spot where you're supposed to pick up your order, they "forget" about you, so you're waiting for like 10-15 minutes for food that's already made and boxed up. And if you try to ask "hey, is that my food sitting right there on the counter?" they tell you to wait and help everyone else before you. read more

Great new addition to Towson. It is a chain but a good one. They cultivate and do have that Austin style bbq vibe. I had a sampler. Shredded pork was ok. Sausage with jalapeño and cheese surprisingly good. Moist brisket was also nice. Fatty and full flavored. I thought the KC bbq sauce was a bit sour but wow, that old bay bbq sauce is special. The celery salt and paprika really spoke up even through the tomato paste. Impressive. I can see this place being really popular once covid ends and all the college kids come back. read more

Such an excellent experience for BBQ! As a true Southerner, I didn't have much expectation, but wow did they prove me wrong! The pulled pork and "moist" brisket is mouth watering. The mac and cheese reminded me of a church potluck (that's a good thing), and the green beans and baked beans were great. Probably the best "sweet tea" you'll find in Maryland. I'll be back. The staff is top notch and very welcoming. Check out why they call this joint Mission BBQ and you'll appreciate them even more. read more

I haven't been to a Mission BBQ since 2020 when I last worked in Maryland. I'm from Texas and back on the east coast for work, and I needed some BBQ. It's pretty good BBQ and satisfied my BBQ craving. I got the brisket, fries and Mac and cheese, they we're all good. I love their military and first responder theme. God Bless America and those that served to keep her free. read more
