My husband and I shared the 3 meat with ribs, brisket and chicken and we added the sides (sold separately) of baked beans and potato salad. Everything was very good and the portion was plenty for us. There was someone walking around happy to help with explaining sauces or helping get Togo boxes etc. At noon they do stand to do the national anthem each day. The women's restroom was very clean with flowers as a nice touch at the sink. I realized we have one in OKC so we will definitely plan to be back when in that part of okc or when visiting Tulsa again. read more

No complaints for service and cleanliness when I first walked into mission BBQ. I had the opportunity to learn what the "mission" was behind Mission BBQ which really is to help feed and serve first responders. The walls are pathed out with numerous military, police, and firefighter patches from around which brought me a lot of joy seeing. I do support the mission and happy to see a place do it. The food was okay. I ended up trying the brisket and sausage. The brisket was okay, but not memorable. The cornbread was great and to be honest the potato salad may have been my favorite part of the meal. I made sure to try all the sauces that they had. Although they are labeled different flavors, they all taste very similar or have the same base. read more

I give this place five stars because of the customer service that received and how they treated me. I ordered a rack of ribs and some burnt ends and the cheesy potatoes. Thank you, Christina and Jon for your hospitality while I visited your location today. read more

We are BIG on BBQ in our family! We are from Oklahoma and also lived in Kansas City for several years, so you know we've had our fair share of amazing BBQ. We decided to give Mission a try for dinner and were very happy with our experience. We ordered every type of meat on the menu and liked everything. Our favorites were the brisket and the jalapeño cheddar sausage. We were also blown away by the service from every team member. Very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. It's a laid back spot with a great mission, and we'll definitely be back! read more

This location is in a bigger shared plaza with plenty of parking. You walk in and go to the counter to order and then you go back to the counter to pick up your food. There is plenty of seating with a big open feel. The service was friendly and provided a couple of samples when I was trying to decide between sides. We didn't have a long wait to get our food after we ordered. My husband felt that the collard greens were a little salty. He really liked the turkey and felt it was moist. He preferred the potato salad to the coleslaw. I really enjoyed the ribs and green beans. There are a variety of bbq sauces at each table. I loved the honey heat. Enjoy! read more

Went to our new favorite BBQ place again today and the BBQ was better than ever! I had the sliced brisket, Mac and Cheese and fries. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans. Both were delicious! Be sure and up size your drinks and help out Tunnel to Towers Foundation! The staff were great checking on us and telling us about the pictures and patches all around the walls! As a Veteran I really appreciate their support! read more

There are few things that really deserve to be celebrated and Mission Barbecue is one of the very best. Their barbecue is sublime and you won't find a better dessert than their peach cobbler. Mission Barbecue is known for supporting all veterans and today's service members. Military, Police, Firemen and First responders are recognized for their outstanding dedication. If you have a picture of a loved one or even yourself take it and they will display it with great pride. You won't be disappointed and you will leave with a smile on your face. read more

I tried Mission BBQ for the first time and overall had a really positive experience. Pros: * I love that they actively support the military and veterans--huge respect for that. * The staff was extremely friendly from start to finish. * Food presentation was beautiful and well done. * The food tasted really good. I ordered a half pound of brisket. * When I placed my takeout order, the woman on the phone asked whether I preferred more fat or less fat on the brisket. I've never been asked that before and really appreciated the option--some people want lean, others want that fatty side. Cons: * My only real con was that the flat portion of the brisket was a bit dry and slightly overcooked. That said, it's pretty common with brisket flat and difficult to get just right, so it wasn't a deal-breaker. Overall, I'd definitely go back and try more items on the menu. read more

We were in Tulsa for The Affair Of Hearts and found this. I have eaten at a Mission before in different states. Was hoping this one was just as good since I was taking my daughter's. You order at front so takes a bit if your new. Ordered brisket with cheesy potatoes and beans. All really good. Even the cornbread is so good! Sampled daughter greenbeans and they are not plane Jane. We all shared the Apple cobbler dessert but small so didn't last long. Lol then went and ordered 3 more to take home. We were all so impressed! Daughter loved it, so was searching other locations. We are happy to find out one is coming to OKC area. Can't wait! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Overall Impression: Gimmicky but the BBQ is good. Mission BBQ has only one mission - to honor and give back to police, fire, first responders, and military. The restaurant is full of heroic and patriotic tributes of US uniformed heroes. Look past these tributes, someone like myself, may find this gimmicky. Other restaurants have done something similar, where they would give 10-15% of earning to their cause. Mission BBQ gives our uniformed heroes very little back, "gift" once a month, and no discounts on food whatsoever. When 99% of the their customers are non-military, police, fire, or first responders, one has to question what are they really giving back, a smidgen not worth mentioning. The ribs and baked beans were excellent though. The ribs had that smoky taste and served in a half to full slab. I would like for them to cut each slab into individual ribs so it would be easier to consume. The baked beans also had a nice smoky taste. Mission BBQ had the most diverse option of BBQ sauces available, 6 to choose from. Only the smoky mountain and Memphis Belle were of my liking. Impressed by the food but disappointed by what they are giving back to our heroes, probably very little. If you are able to look past this facade, Mission BBQ is excellent. read more

We received fast and friendly service on an impromptu Monday evening stop in. We both ordered chopped brisket sandwiches with a side and a drink- one was green beans (really good), and one was Mac and cheese (pretty good). The sandwhiches were a good size and flavorful. I added a sweet and spicy sauce for more kick, but it didn't "need" it for flavor. I think if the bun had been buttered and toasted on a flat top it would have pushed it over the edge and earned a 5 star review. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. We paid $40 for the two meals. read more

It's not just a lunch but an experience. If you happen to be a hero or just appreciate hero's, you're going to like this place. My husband, who is an inactive Marine, just loves it. The theme is heroes such as military, police, and fireman and it's decorated accordingly. All the staff are ultra friendly and enthusiastic. At 12 noon each day, everyone stands and sings the National Anthem. The kitchen staff even comes out for that. The service was incredible. Our brisket sandwiches were delicious. I liked the sides best. Next time, I'm going to have a lunch with just a variety of sides. The Apple Carmel cobbler was amazing. read more

Brisket sandwich - brisket was good, not as chopped as I like but doesn't have an overly smoked flavor which ruins it for me so overall was great but the bbq ruined it. I believe it was the Memphis Belle. Way too vinegary. I like a sweet and spicy sauce on my sandwich. I didn't pick the sandwich up myself, so I'm not sure if this flavor profile is available. Fries - just ok. I'm not sure what could have made them better. read more

I'm glad I gave this place a second chance. The first time we went I was not impressed. The meat was OK. The sides were OK. The bathroom was clean. The staff was nice. But my husband loved it. I couldn't understand why? Something about the variety of barbecue sauce sauces? The second time was so much better. The brisket and rib meat was flavorful and moist. We got only one side, The collared greens. I love them! I'm so glad we went back. I don't think my husband liked it as much the second time? He was looking for some vinegar forward barbecue sauce. He couldn't figure out which one it was? read more

Love the way they promote and serve "MOIST" Brisket. Most places seem to serve brisket that's closer to Jerky. I've gone once. I shall return! read more

I can't believe this building used to house Zio's. They did an amazing job remodeling it! My husband had tried this place on his own, when I was out of town, and loved it. He was given a coupon for a free sandwich so we went back to redeem it today. I'm a vegetarian so we were thinking I wouldn't have many choices, but there are several sides and two sizes of salads to choose from so I was totally ok. I ordered an entree size salad and a side of mac and cheese. The cashier misheard me and rung us up for a small side salad (which was not super small, fyi). This was remedied after our food arrived and I realized the size mistake. The staff was very kind and gave me an entree size salad, on top of my smaller salad, to take home. The salad was fresh and the ranch was delicious. The mac and cheese was super creamy! My husband was happy with his brisket sandwich and cheesy scalloped potatoes (he let me try some of the potatoes and they were amazing). We chatted a little bit with one of the workers in the dining room who is originally from Las Vegas - she was super friendly. We had asked about the Black Plate Special and she explained some of the things on the menu, told us about a ceremony they do every day at noon with the pledge of allegiance, and gave us another coupon for a free sandwich. The dining room was kept very clean even though it was decently busy. We will definitely be back and will bring family members for their birthdays. read more

New Mission BBQ restaurant is FIRED-UP with great customer service and community involvement, but there is no SMOKE! I'll go ahead and let you know, that my standards for BBQ are very high. I grew up in the Houston area & barbecue is a cult down there. The recruitment and indoctrination starts at a young age So I put most BBQ places into two categories: ‍ Craft And Quick ‍"Craft" barbecue: A barbecue that uses high-quality ingredients and precise techniques to smoke meats and make sides. Craft barbecue places may: - Use Higher Quality Cuts and/or unique cuts of meat - Smoke meats low and slow using woods like oak, hickory, or pecan - Make there own rubs & sauces, while still letting the Protein and Smoke be the main character - Create unique sides & desserts - Use locally sourced ingredients Downside: Takes longer to produce, limited daily availability, may be sold out of item you wanted. More expensive. Less options for customers to choose from- limited menu Examples of Craft barbecue in the Tulsa area: Oakhart / Nomads / Leon's / Mac's / BurnCo / Clark Crew "Quick" barbecue: A convenience based, mass produced version of the above. All the basics are covered, it gets the job done. A quick barbecue place may: -Use Basic wholesale proteins -Smoke meat off-site and/or done in industrial "ovens" -Use pre-packaged / mass produced sides and desserts -Often be a chain or franchise -Have Extended service - open longer hours -be more convenient to get to -have something on the menu for everyone Downside: Depths of flavor, obsession of technique, and creativity are generally low Examples of Quik barbecue in the Tulsa area: Rib Crib / Oklahoma Joes / Billy Sims / Mission BBQ Now, Mission BBQ did a great job! The location is big, well lit and clean. Comfortable seating for large groups. Walk-Up and order style, grab a cold bottled drink out of the ice and take a look at all the US Veteran appreciation flags, awards and pictures on the wall. All of the staff was cheerful & busy getting the customers quickly serviced. A young woman floated around the ordering line and seated patrons with a platter of small cups, offering a complimentary taste of their pulled pork. Another server came around and gave a friendly recommendation of which sauce to use on each protein and that her favorite bite was the Alabama White Sauce on the Smoked Turkey Before we finished our meal a manager came around to make sure we were happy with our experience. A+ for service, value, and community involvement. Each item we tried was executed well, served at the right temp, and prepared within traditional norms of that dish. No dish was inedible or off-putting. No dish was unique or memorable. The Smoke flavor and bark I prefer on barbecue was nearly absent on most of the proteins. The meats were all tender, and none of them were dry. For a quick service barbecue option, it's a great option in the Tulsa read more

I ordered a brisket sandwich "wet" the first attempt was in BBQ sauce, they apologized and re made the sandwich when it was made it was half fat chunks Maybe others want a fat sandwich but that's not what I was expecting I would never order that again and probably won't be back, there are so many BBQ options in town read more

Second visit & second review. Split the brisket sandwich (it's huge) with spouse and we shared sides of baked beans and Mac & cheese. Beans were sweet and tangy and loaded with brisket. Mac & cheese also good. They offer a free sandwich when veterans sign up for their loyalty program so all we paid for were the sides. Service is very friendly and prompt. They even gave us free apple cobbler. We happened to be there at 12 noon. They played the National Anthem and all the diners and employees stood and sang along. Interesting. Place was packed again just like my previous visit. read more

My family absolutely LOVES Mission BBQ. The service has always been over and above. The check can add up pretty quickly, but you get what you pay for! They will allow you to sample any of the meats to make sure you like them before buying. Even then, however, if you are not satisfied with your food, they will replace it on the spot. We always get enough food with extra to take home. The ribs are probably some of the best dry ribs I've ever had. They LITERALLY fall off the bone and honestly don't even need sauce (and I NEVER eat BBQ without sauce). I love the military and emergency worker theme. It is easy to tell that they have a great respect for those who have served us with pride. The ONLY complaint I could even think of is that they don't have bologna, but I understand that is not for everyone! We have been here more times than I can count, and will keep coming back for sure! read more

such wonderful service and great food. I could live on their smoked cheeseburger!! it's enormous. the sides are delicious. don't skip the dessert which changes monthly. read more

Service was excellent. The chopped brisket sandwich was good size and excellent flavor and smokiness. Lots of sauces to try. I would say they need just one that is hotter but still a great selection. BBQ beans were good. Love the photos on the wall and honor and respect of those who give service to our country. Like Arnold said, I'll be back. read more

Stopped in at MISSION BBQ in Tulsa, OK. Very cool spot. At exactly 12pm they stopped what they were doing and played the national anthem. Everyone in the restaurant stood up, removed their hats, placed their hands on their hearts and many sang along. I'm a sucker for Old Glory and all things USA. So it got me all in my feels. Oh and the brisket was stellar. read more

Visiting from out of town and decided to try, very glad we did. Decor is military and first responders forward. We tried the brisket and turkey, brisket was tinder with the perfect amount of bark and the turkey was moist and delicious. They have multiple bbq sauces to choose from. We also tried the Mac and cheese and sweet potato mash. The Mac and cheese was creamy and definitely tasted homemade, the sweet potato mash was good and not too sweet. Everyone was nice and very attentive, came by several times to make sure we didn't need anything. We were also lucky enough to be there at 12 when they play the national anthem. I was very impressed with the food and service and will definitely stop by anytime I am in Tulsa. read more

This adventure takes us up to Tulsa. My husband and I were up that direction today to do my yearly check in with my surgical oncologist and an appointment and my mastectomy professional fitter. We ran a couple errands between appointments to a couple other places, then on our way out of town it was around lupper time, and we had been talking about going and stopping by Mission BBQ previously. So this trip we made a stop by after my appointment with my fitter, as it was right up the road from them. So we got online to their website and decided what we wanted.As we surfed the website and decided on our meal the hubby(Navy veteran) and I both noticed they are very veteran forward and veteran charity forward in their connections as well. My husband for his meal selected 5 ribs, baked beans, cornbread(sweet) square, Maggie's mac n cheese, and Memphis Belle bbq sauce. My dinner selection included smoked salmon with KC sauce, baked beans, potato salad(that could have used some mustard or acv), and slaw that could have use some vinegar to wake it up(it was decent). We each got an American Hero's cup(that can be brought back for a refill at a discounted price.He got sweet tea, and he got me a Dr Pepper for a caffeine boost). All and all for a first trip, it was a successful selection and we will definitely keep it on our munchies list. read more

I just left Mission BBQ, I absolutely had the best service from Christina, greeted us with a very warm welcome, checked on us a few times, I don't get this kind of hospitality from Clark Crew BBQ, Mission now has all my BBQ visits because of her!!!

Food was mediocre, at best. Not impressed with the atmosphere. Music was too loud, employees constantly shouting at customers from entering the building to order ready for pickup. Portions are small for the inflated ala cart prices. Baked beans tasted dirty & weird. Brisket was just OK, Pulled Pork was a little dry. Overall, the meats weren't bad, just nothing we care to repeat. Sadly, this is a once & done for us. read more

A group of my friends decided to try the food at this new BBQ place. So the four of us gathered there. We were greeted by one of the owners and he explained the process of ordering. Most of the menu is a-la-carte. Brisket sandwich was ordered by one, pulled pork by another and I and my wife split a full rack of baby back ribs. Sides ordered were baked beans, and Cole slaw. Despite being busy the food arrived at our table quickly. We were given a carrier with 8 different bbq sauces. I liked the Nashville Belle sauce for my ribs, tangy and a bit sweet with a good smoky finish. Pulled pork and brisket sandwiches tried each one of the sauces and never decided on the best. My picky eater wife wasn't sold on any of them. The owner happened by the table and she asked him if there were any others. With a grin he said, " Yes, we have a secret sauce you have to ask for.." He left and came back with a white sause that he said was horseradish based. I believe my wife emptied the bottle on her ribs before we were finished. (She wants to go back to try it on the brisket) The ribs were perfectly smoked and fall-off-the-bone tender. The beans were very good with a heavy smoke finish. The Cole saw was cold and crispy with a light Tandy dressing. A very good meal with plenty to take home for the next day's lunch. As stated before by others, the theme of the restaurant is military and first responder's celebration. I highly recommend this place. read more

My family relocated from Florida a year ago and missed our regular visits to MissionBBQ. Thankfully we recently found y'all again in Tulsa and finally made it in tonight. The restaurant immediately brought back fond memories since it looked like others we used to frequent. If it is even possible, the food was actually better than we remembered, but that may have been the built up anticipation. However, what made this joyous reunion so special was the friendly, service focused, and incredibly attentive staff! From the moment we walked through the doors, to ordering, eating and finally boxing leftovers, we repeatedly had our needs met and even anticipated. Despite our high expectations from years of loyal patronage in Florida, our first experience in the Tulsa location significantly exceeded anything we could have hoped for or remembered. The standard has been raised. Now please bring more locations to Tulsa; especially if they can replicate the one currently here! read more
