We have never been to this establishment and it "WAS" on our bbq bucket list and last night we choose it as our date night, on a whim around 7:00 pm so we would know and no longer wonder, now we know! Adam Leslie Marissa Wynga Johnathan Disaree All made our dinner experience extremely friendly and the food was amazing. We had pulled pork, Brisket w Mac n cheese, greens, cornbread and all the sauces, we had amazing choices. lol, I think he took the leftover small portions as his snack for lunch today. I had them in the car for my lunch. We will definitely be back and do the Meat Sampler to try the pulled chicken too. I found the background of the company, 2 brothers owning it and it is privately owned, fascinating! Very inspirational too. I am posting a yelp review w 5 stars, all the way across the spectrum! Friendly businesses are harder to find these days and WE, without doubt, enjoyed the friendliness and needed it a little too. We talked about it this morning and we both smiled. read more

Brought my relatives from Texas to dine in and they are obsessed! This is some of the best BBQ we've ever had! Great staff, great food, and overall just a great place. Love looking at all of the photos at patches on the walls! HIGHLY recommend the jalapeño cheese sausage, fantastic. The best i've ever had. I also love the seasonal cheesy potatoes side. Pulled pork NC style is beyond amazing. Us Texans have never been more grateful to have found good BBQ here in VB. We will be back a hundred times over! read more

The craving for BBQ wouldn't stop haunting me, so I finally gave in. The prices can add up quickly so I opted to get all sides and eat it with a meat from home. That's how you ball on a budget. Lol. When I walked in they weren't to busy, so I was in and out of the line quickly!! The cashier was friendly and staff were friendly. The restaurant was clean as well. They have a section where you can fix your own sauces also. Which I can appreciate!! I got the corn casserole, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and Mississippi mud pie. It was about $17 for everything. Corn casserole: Ummm , Mmmmm. Definitely a good side. It's like a softer idea of corn bread with corn that you eat with a fork. It was forking delicious!! Lol. It was moist and worth trying. 8/10 Mac and cheese: you can't come and not get the Mac n cheese. It's hot, creamy, and really good. I love that it's not dry like some places, and it's not kraft Mac n cheese. It's like someones grandma made it and she put her back into it. Just get it!! 8.5/10 Baked beans: they were decent baked beans with a few pieces of brisket in it. They went well with the other sides. 7/10 Mississippi mud pie: Lawd have mercy! If you like chocolate pudding this will peak your interest. Its chocolate pudding that has a marshmallow in the middle and graham cracker crust. Ughhh, I enjoyed it so much I still think about it.. if your a big back like me, adding it to a brownie will set it off to a whole different level!!! 10/10 The sweet BBQ sauce was Memphis heat, and the white sauce were my top picks. The Nashville hot, knocked my socks off, it was spicy spicy!! But It was good. I mixed them and it mellowed out. I enjoyed my meal. It definitely put me into a food coma shortly thereafter!! Lol. I napped like a baby and woke up happy. I recommend trying Mission BBQ if you haven't. Check them out!! read more

This place is amazing! I love the outward display of honoring our Military Branches and supports first responders of all branches with the various patches and memorabilia decorating the walls. It's awesome to see! The service was good. The food was a good size and flavorful. The my have various sauce bottles on the table which are labeled and give details of the heat level. I had the pulled chicken sandwich with cheesy potatoes. This potatoes were delish. I would say they are a a version of scalloped potatoes. The sandwhich comes plain but you add the sauce of your choice. My son ordered the brisket and pulled chicken with fries. It also came with cornbread. All in all it was my second time visiting this place and it didn't disappoint! read more

The food here was absolutely scrumptious. I love that the servers are so hands-on when ordering. I did not know what I wanted to order and they recommended some of the best items. The cornbread was delicious, but not too sweet. The ribs were cooked to perfection and seasoned exceptionally. All of the sides were delicious as well. I love the diversity of the menu. I had never had their turkey before and it was a hit. I didn't have anything that I did not like. The desserts were huge. This is definitely some of the best barbecue that I've had in a long time. The restaurant was super clean, which was a plus. I also loved that they walked around with samples on the day that I visited. That was a great addition. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

The service here never disappoints and the meats are always spot on perfection. I like how they pay tribute to the military here as well as all the various ways to go about making a good bbq meal. The staff is very courteous here and can answer any questions you have about the various assortment of sauces and sandwiches or meat types. I like how their pulled pork is prepared in this region, so I typically go that direction when I order here. Coming from Texas, brisket is something we have locally that can't be matched, but they do it well here, too! They have a good selection for any type of regional bbq you'd like and you'll have a favorite in any of their great tasting meats. read more

I am a big fan of Mission BBQ! Over the years, I've been to several in and out of the area, but this is our first time at the Virginia Beach location. We met up with some friends here on a Friday evening around 6pm. They weren't really busy yet so we were able to score a big table. I opted for a side order of brisket and a garden green salad. Hubby ordered the brisket, green beans, baked beans and cornbread. Everything was delicious. We were able to sit outside and talk for a while in their patio area. Great place with a great cause! read more

I love barbecue and as a visitor to Virginia Beach for the first time we had such a great experience and meal here. The staff was so Attentive when we entered. It was hard to decide for 4 people What to have for lunch. We opted for 1/2 pound each of brisket, pork baby back ribs and pulled pork. For sides we opted for Mac and cheese, collard greens and cole slaw which each came with a small side the corn meal bread. The first think I noticed is that the brisket has a little steam of fat across the middle. But what I noticed the most was that the brisket was so moist and tender - just like how it was in Austin Texas. It was delicious! The pork ribs were fall off The gone tender and the pulled Pork was yummy. All the sides were Excellent. We had enough leftovers for 2 to enjoy lunch the next day. There was an employee named Beth and she took so good care of us! She brought us all the takeout containers and cutlery and sauces. One of each kind - 6 bbq sauces. We loved our experience and Beth made us feel right at home. I'll be certain to come back when I'm at Virginia Beach but this time get a pound of brisket! read more

As always, Veteran's day for my Dad was extra special for him at Mission BBQ. They truly value the Veterans by offering a free meal, passing out free samples while customers waited in line, and going out of their way to make my Dad and well..all of us feel special. The food is icing on the cake! Thank you for making my Dad's "deserved day" a special one every year, Mission! read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket. - Barbeque Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This BBQ house celebrates the military and first responders with decorations throughout. It has benches at tables, booths and even high tables and chairs. It does have outside seating as well. The place is clean and organized. I ordered the 2 meat sampler plate with ribs and moist brisket. The brisket is very moist, and the meat on the ribs came off so easily. In addition, i had coleslaw and baked beans. There were at least 6 different sauces to choose from on your table. I chose the Texas Tangy. It wasn't too spicy, but you could taste the little kick. We got our orders in 3 or 4 minutes after ordering. They also had people cleaning the restaurant. So, if you are looking for some Texas BQ, then try the Mission BBQ, and you will be satisfied! read more

Was in town from Dallas and found Mission BBQ and boy was that the right call coming here for lunch. The brisket and jalapeño sausage were great. So many BBQ sauces and they each were super solid. Customer service was top notch as well- everyone was super friendly and helpful! Music and environment were wonderful with plenty of seating options for big and small parties with an indoor and outside option. Will definitely be back when I'm back in town. read more

Food was delicious!! Service was excellent!! This was my second time visiting and I will definitely return!!

In the area or make yourself to be in area. Well worth it!!! Got a free dessert as well for working in law enforcement. Thank you again btw.... read more

Be sure to speak clearly and get clarification on what you order, if you're talking to little miss piggy working the front register. I didn't receive my first responder discount and she didn't understand the difference between substitute and additional items. The food was meh. I could've spent my $26 at a better place for sure. read more

I was so excited to try this place, specifically because I heard their brisket was amazing and they offer burnt ends, which are my FAVORITE (usually). Word of advice... don't get them. I ordered a two meat plate, with the brisket burnt ends and the jalapeño cheddar sausage. Neither of them were good, but the burnt ends were rock hard and flavorless. Literally inedible. I order burnt ends whenever I go to a quality BBQ restaurant and love that they are always tender with nice flavor and char. These seemed as if they had been sitting out, dry, for the whole day. It was even more disappointing because I watched them cut a new brisket as I ordered which looked tender and juicy and that is OBVIOUSLY not what I was served. The jalapeño cheddar sausage had potential, but also just seemed as though it had been sitting out for a very long time. It was dry. Sides were the best part. I got the mac and cheese which was quite good and the only reason I am leaving 2 stars instead of 1. The collard greens were decent, as well. Cornbread, another dry fail. Part of me would like to give this place another shot since the atmosphere was good, but I'm hesitant because prices weren't cheap. read more

After a nice workout and looking for a good post-meal to consume and replenish what (calories) I've burned I wanted meat. A juicy brisket or chicken or something savory.... Soo my workout partner and I depended on Yelp to tell us the closest place that's open that still serves meat that we were craving. Low and behold, Mission BBQ came up as numero uno. I ordered the two meat sampler of pulled chicken and brisket; turned combo w/ 2 sides, fries and baked beans plus their complimentary cornbread. Keep in mind I'm expecting a nice juicy brisket and shredded/pulled chicken with amazing flavors. Maaaan, I received one of the best shredded chicken flavors and good serving size I've ever had. The brisket though is what stops me from giving 5-star service. It was soo dry. Literally had to eat it with my baked beans to make it easy to chew and swallow. Then there was the baked beans, I expected nice and saucy, but when that sauce is just bbq sauce it becomes a little too much. The cornbread was alright, a little dry, lacked butter but had just enough sweetness in it. The fries were great. As far as the restaurant it self, I have no complaints about that. Area was kept clean from the floors, countertops, tables, etc.... read more

This Mission BBQ is located in a shopping center just north of the I-264 Interchange on the northbound side of Independence Blvd. It is on the corner of that shopping center, with Red Wing Shoes next door. My visit here was on March 6, 2020. When you come inside, you will see the theme for decor being Military inspired, including thanks for all those who have served. You'll see the ordering area to the back from the entrance and there is quite a bit of seating in here as well. The menu is located up at the ordering area. The staff were ready for us once we were ready to order. It wasn't too busy at that time. After looking over the menu inside, I ended up going with the Pulled Chicken BBQ XXL combo with fries and macaroni and cheese. Cornbread comes with the meal. My mom was with me and she went with brisket on that one. A few minutes after ordering, our orders were ready to pick up. The cornbread was nice and moist, as well as soft. The pulled chicken was good as well. There were six different sauces to choose from at the tables as well. Overall, the chicken was good and so was the brisket according to my mom. In the end, this was a solid first time visit here. It's a bit further away from where I am, so I won't be able to come here more often, but I would come back again. If you are up near the Town Center section of the city and looking for BBQ, this is definitely a viable option. read more

Boyfriend and I were craving bbq so we decided to pay a visit to Mission BBQ. We apparently picked the right time, it was roughly 5 pm on a Saturday when we visited and we were served right away and as soon as we sat down there was a line forming almost out the door! Their service is pretty quick though so hopefully the line moved relatively fast. It's a pretty spacious restaurant with tons of tables. The staff is somewhat friendly. We both got pulled pork-which was delicious. I especially love their max and cheese and coleslaw. Yum! read more

This place is amazing for a fast food chain. I didn't catch her name but she helped us clean up our table after an accidental spill and she was funny and kind. The portions are huge especially since every restaurant seems to be shrinking. They have the best assortment of different sauces and its fun to try to different ones and see which ones enhance the flavor of the meat. The soft brisket is tender, soft, and flavorful. read more

We finally found the BEST BBQ place in virginia beach. I took the family so we could cut everyones food and try a bunch of different food. SNAP!!!We ALL LOVED LOVED LOVED it. This place is a 5 star hands down BBQ joint. We talked about our orders ahead that way we got a variety. We got Sliced Turkey, THICK SLICES. Pulled Pork sandwich, Sliced Brisket sandwich. We wanted to compare the amount of meat if you ordered the meat alone or a sandwich. They gave PLENTY. Big portion of meat, tender, juicy, full of great perfect smoked flavor. I was really suprised with the sliced turkey. It was just as great as the brisket. And that is saying alot if you eat alot of BBQ. Then we all did a taste test of sauces. Each of us liked something different But we all agreed they had more than one or 2 that we each liked. AND they had 6 at our table waiting for us to try. Quality is all I can say. If you dont find one you like, then you must not like BBQ. As we ate we went back and forth between sauces the whole time. None of us stuck with just one sauce. It was fun. THE SIDES. OMG. we got cornbread. My niece said if she would have tried that first that she could have eaten cornbread the whole time. It was that good. The baked cheesy potatoes was the ultimate in comfort food. Made me close my eyes and say MMMMMM. We all tried it at the same time and All loved it. It is creamy perfect cheesy sauce with a chunky smashed potatoe. If you dont get this your crazy. We also got the mac and cheese. It was good too. It is a solid good mac with a bit of crunchy topping. Drinks are SUPER NEAT. Specialty drinks are my favorite and they have alot to choose from. SUPER COOL display. LIke an old timey feel to it. My only sad part is that they are not close to my house. But we will be going back FOR SURE. Im so thankful that we finally found MISSION BBQ read more

I appreciate their montage display and appreciation to our service member here at this restaurant. Very patriotic. I don't appreciate the dry ribs and dry cornbread. It could be so much more better. It is also over priced and every item is sold separately but not reflected so on the receipt. They have a vast selection of sauces and drinks. I'm disappointed but I don't disapprove. Looking forward to seeing an improvement on the ribs. read more

I was buying steel toes boots at red wings next door when I noticed this place , it was close to lunch time and I asked the redwing sales man if he recommended them. He told me he had to be careful or he would be a lot heavier .. said the food was amazing and recommended their brisket... I wandered next door and chatted with a lady in line she too raved about their brisket and the business being veteran owned. I ended up going with their sausage sandwich and the Mac and cheese ... outstanding ! They have a tradition that happens everyday at noon ... took me by surprise... in a nice way. Over all a great place to eat. Meals were reasonably priced and good portions... I will be back. read more

This place was amazing. I loved the food. I got the brisket (fatty) with green beans and cornbread. I used the Texas bbq sauce. I have no notes! It was delicious, just enough A1 while not being too overpowering. All in all I'd definitely recommend this for good bbq. read more

Thus was my first time at Mission BBQ and I was hoping it wouldn't be dry and tasteless like many other Bbq places. The food did not disappoint, it was delicious, plentiful, and prompt.

I'll give the Virginia beach Mission BBQ five stars and two thumbs up and so does my family. read more

I came to this place because it was a restaurant my mom wanted to try.The customer service was good, thanks to the person who rung us up. They also show a lot of respect to veterans and active soldiers, which is a cause I can respect. The menu wasn't too long and straight to the point. The vibe of the place gave a "down home" vibe, kind of like Cracker Barrel. Now let's get to the point... let's start with cornbread it was incredibly dry and it wasn't sweet and actually has literal corn in it, lol. The brisket was okay, the sweet heat bbq sauce I put on it made it better. The Mac and cheese was very mid (below average). The green beans were salty and overcooked. The cheesy potatoes were mid. The caramel bread pudding was the best side it reminded me of apple pie. The pulled pork was super dry (how you mess up pork and you're a bbq spot is beyond me). The bun was also very dry, you could tell it was cheap bread. (for as much as their food cost, you would think they would at least spring for some potato buns, smh). Coleslaw was also very mid. The lemonade was good, and they have it where you can add lemons in your beverage. I paid over fifty dollars for an overall MID experience. What's sad is they didn't do anything wrong, it's just what they served up was the best they could do. I will not be going back to this place again, but I do wish them well. read more

My son should be glad I love him the way I do because that Mac could of easily been on my plate. Yes will definitely be back for the Mac .
