A few of us were having meetings in the area and stopped in here for lunch on a weekday. The staff was welcoming and friendly, as they typically are at Mission BBQs. I tried their smoked turkey with BBQ beans and cole slaw. The turkey was great - nicely smoked, moist, and flavorful! They tasted so good when dipped in their mustard BBQ sauce too!! The cole slaw very fresh and tasty, I love how they very thinly slice the cabbage. And those beans were great too! Definitely very nice visit - So glad to see they are doing well, as BBQ joints don't typically do very well once they obtain such popularity, as it's tough to maintain consistent greatness with so many locations. But this one is doing it right! This location is very clearly well-managed, it's obvious from the incredibly high amount of reviews they have and they're maintaining a very near 5 star review - Well, here's another 5 star review for them! read more

Mission BBQ - Smoked Turkey with Cole Slaw and BBQ Beans - Barbeque Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

I love Mission BBQ. I just so happened to show up after our little snow storm. The sidewalks were clear and had salt down. Very friendly staff. I took my stuff to go and it was fast. The pulled pork sandwich was so tender and the fries were on point. My dogs loved the fries too. I always get the ice tea 1/2 and half... always delicious. Lots of seating to be had and it wasn't that busy around 4:30. read more

Awesome Awesome. Very pleasant staff. The Black plate special is a must. They went overboard to make me happy. They did. Now I want more read more

Went in for a quick lunch and was greeted by the nicest people behind the counter. They went over the menu with us since it was our first time and asked if we wanted some samples. My fiancés jokingly said yes all of them. Well they did not hesitate to make that come true. The food could have been awful and I'd still give this place five stars just based off the customer service. These guys were phenomenal in explaining the culture behind mission and really taking pride in every aspect of the business. The food was delicious, it's honestly really solid bbq. I was afraid since it was a chain that it would be slacking, but man did the brisket hit! Keep up the awesome work guys, we'll be back next time we are in town. read more

Walked in here and was immediately greeted by the staff in the back. Because of how the store is set up you order in the back and then they will call your name to pick up. Plenty of seating in and outside. First timers and the staff told us how to order as well as recommendations. We tried a little of everything and the food was amazing. Nicely smoked and grilled. Favorite was the brisket and ribs, so tender it fell off the bone. One thing I love about this place is the accompanying sauces and spices. They told us that none of the meats are ever frozen, they have no freezers and everything is prepared same day. Great customer service, food is flavorful and the setting a great for a casual lunch or dinner. Added pro is that this place screams AMERICA. great supports of veterans. You can tell by the pictures, slide show etc that this place gives back to those who served. I would come back here again. read more

Let me just say I have never given a 5 star review until today. Im a 7th generation Texan and I have never had a more moist/flavorful piece of brisket in my life. Every bbq sauce imaginable was on the table. The grilled shrimp were out of this world. As far as the ambiance you can't get more American. Walk around and look at the faces of the men and women who fought for our freedom. Talk to the staff like the young man Corey who made me feel welcome. I will be back next time I'm in town! read more

Pro: online ordering, big parking lot. Con: price, portion size. I been driving by this restaurant for months and after seeing the many positives reviews of this establishment my anticipation to try the food here has been high. I use the website to order some brisket, ribs, fries, and Mac N cheese which came to about 33 dollar before tax and 36 dollar after tax. The parking lot is big so no issue there and upon entering I pick up my order from the counter. Looking at the food box the first thing that comes to mind is that the portion size does not give you the bang for the buck. I could get more value at the region 117 restaurants for a lower price and more food compare to mission bbq is giving me. Let start with the fries, they were under season, not crispy, and were just sad. The mac N cheese was decent. The brisket was a bit dry so it was a good thing they give you a lot of sauce with the food. The ribs tasted ok and came off the bone with ease. All in all, I had higher expectations of mission bbq due to the many good reviews but it look like my hope were dashed and I don't see myself coming back here again in the future. read more

The food was amazing, and the story behind Mission is even better! Kevin- supervisor I'm thinking, heard it was how first time. He explained the smoking process, explained the layout of the different walls, photos, and that all veterans eat free! The food was so good! read more

Food was tasty, but not many fries. Very expensive for wait is. Felt rushed, person cleaning the tables comes by every few minutes. The good, severe was excellent, friendly, just ask, they'll get what you need. read more

Place was fine if you simply want BBQ but nothing crazy. Quick service and friendly staff. Lots of cool memorabilia. Came in on like a 1pm on a Saturday and was thinking maybe they have TV's showing the CFB games (Army and Navy were both playing and are undefeated). All four TV's appeared to be used for show slide honoring vets and showing pictures. Not an issue but there wasn't really any sound to cut through things. Decided to finish eating quick and go somewhere else to watch the games. read more

Delicious moist BBQ meats. We stopped for late lunch after hiking in Shenandoah and on the way to our overnight destination -Berkeley Springs. Brisket platter and baby back ribs were our favorites, moist, flavorful, literally melts in your mouse. The sides of baked beans and coleslaw were perfect companions. Pulled pork and pulled chicken were very good but pale in comparison with the brisket ( in my very subjective view). And (!) you can feed your inner child - there is no age restriction for the kids' menu: anyone can order from the kinds menu :). Finally, veterans eat free on the Veterans Day. Spacious, thematically decorated place, very clean. Superb ( efficient and friendly) service. Spacious outdoor patio/deck with water bowls for your doggies. 10 stars for everything - service and the food. I can see us driving from DC to this place just for a BBQ lunch at this place when the craving hits. Strongly recommend I can see read more

Wow, what a great meal. Did pickup. Nicely packaged. Split the ribs and beef brisket. Also had mac and cheese and green beans for sides. Of course the corn bread came with it. Wow. Loved everything about it. The ribs were pull of the bone tender. The brisket was tender too. Both with loads of flavor. As for the sides, two for two. Loved, loved the green beans. Had some meaty (hammy) flavor in them. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and tasty. The corn bread was a touch dry but flavorful; hard to complain. Definitely give this chain bbq place a try. read more

Yes it's a chain... but they are good at what they do. All of the meats are great. Sides are solid. Staff is eager to help - including clearing the table for you. With some food chains - you understand why their concept works. This is that type of place. Love the variety of sauces at the table to try. Get a 2 or 3 meat meal and split it with the kids. Nice portions that can be shared. read more

This place is better than good. It's great. The spare ribs, fresh cut fries, and sweet potato mash were all fantastic. Highly recommend.

Food service always excellent. We go every time we visit Roanoke. Never disappoints. Great location also

Amazing heart welcoming place!! I met Mike S. For the 1st time and we immediately felt like we knew each other since childhood. The war stories we both had was very connecting. No matter where you come from, When you're here, you're family. That is the welcome you get when you come to Mission BBQ! read more

I am from New Jersey and on a trip down to check out Virginia Tech, we stopped by here. The food was absolutely amazing, but much much more so than that was the service and southern hospitality. The guys Langdon and Chris were some of the kindest guys I ever met. They were so polite, attentive, and kind, and they even welcomed us there for the first time by giving us velvet cake! read more

Mission BBQ - Old Jarhead.... - Barbeque Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

They support vets, and being a vet myself, that's a massive plus in my book. But what really sells it is the food. Big, bold and delicious, it is very much worth the trip. The brisket is absolutely wonderful, and my wife loves the pulled pork. The sides are great as well. All in all, a place not to be missed. Especially if you like good BBQ or are a vet or both! read more

This is the good stuff. Yes, it's a chain. Yes, they have sauces on the table. But that's really okay for Mission Barbecue. I had the turkey and it was both moist and tasty. Delicious, needing no sauce for flavor at all. Yum. Sliced nicely and ate even better. I would have this every time. For sides, the mac & cheese was super cheesy and the noodles were soft. Excellent stuff. The potato salad was only okay. The potatoes were small pieces and were the right texture but in my opinion, too much mayo. Cornbread was a perfect dessert. A little crumbly but still flavorful and tasty. The manager stopped by my table to check on me and after that, she was bussing other tables and clearing trash. Great to see that level of engagement. read more

First, love the mission of Mission BBQ and what it stands for which is why income her occasionally. Unfortunately, the food is just "ehh". As a regular barbecue eater, barbecue is measured by its brisket. The brisket here is simply dry and not that good. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that they have such a large amount of their cooking at one time and have to keep it but it simply is not as good as real independent barbecue places. Like I said, it's all about the mission and the feel of this place. If the food works for you and you're happy here, then so be it. I just wouldn't go out of my way to find a Mission BBQ! read more

What can I say of this place? There's nothing bad when it comes to great BBQ. I was thoroughly surprised to walk into this establishment and find how much they catered to emergency services as well as to the military and veterans. I had gotten the brisket sandwich and my mother had gotten the BBQ pork entree. Both were amazing, as well as the many different sauces at the table. It was a shame they didn't have any lemons for their tea, but it is understood during the current times to minimize cost when you can. We did dine in and ate our food, and when we had enough leftovers to take home, was able to get covers and a box to go. Wish I was around to get my Veteran discount in Nov, but I won't mind paying full price at any other time! read more

Want to give a special thanks to the staff today all very professional and happy. Want to give an extra thanks to Scottie Coleman Community Ambassador who noticed my wife and I German Shepherds that are tattooed on my arms. She asked if they'd like some brisket I said well I have it here on the tray. She said I can give them some of the cut ends. I said sure I have to get them out of the truck and we will be out on the outside deck. They provide cold water outside too for any pups you may have if they are eating with you. She came out and ask can I sit it down for them 2 small bowls of brisket and I said yes they are comfortable with you. She took some time just to chat about the dogs the company and that we both had portraits tattooed on each of us. And we talked about life and I mentioned how my wife loved eating there and the tragic event that happened to my wife being called to the heavens and passing on Christmas last year. She then spoke of a family event that happened for her too at the same time period. She could see how much the German Shepherds are my rock. She then talked about her mission with the company and I then told her how thankful I am to Mission BBQ. See they catered my wife's memorial and diner after the funeral and they gave The Shawnee Volunteer Fire Dept a great discount for the event cause that's where I met my wife 22 yrs ago. And she was happy they could help. She said if your still here I'll come back see the pups befor you go. She did come out and gave me a free desert and a gift sandwich card. Which I'm extremely thankful. I enjoy there food maybe sometimes the portions may be smaller than one thinks but I support them cause of being a veteran and still serving the public as a Firefighter. But what I was truly thankful was her customer service and time to chat. I have been in public service the vast majority of my life and sometimes when someone has time to listen and talk it makes your day. I struggle a lot with the passing of my wife and how it happened and how young she was when called to the kingdom of Heaven. And that helped me a lot to get through the day. So I thank Ms Scottie and all the staff there today. Have a blessed day. read more

Good BBQ, great service. The BBQ here is consistently good, with a wide variety of tasty sauces. Nice setting, outdoor seating for when the weather allows, and beer on hand.

Mission BBQ is extremely LE, Military, and First Responder friendly! When I went down to Mexico Beach, FL/Panama City, FL last year for hurricane relief efforts after Hurricane Michael... they treated us like true American hero's and it was so refreshing to be appreciated. The whole town was out of commission but the owner and his wife came and opened up just for us and served us everything in their pantry for free! Mind you, nothing was open because the entire area was leveled! No power etc! They took such good care of us, I vowed to eat at one of their restaurants no mater what city I see them in! That's what brought me to this restaurant. The food was amazing! The Salmon with Green Beans is one of my favorites but the Brisket married well with the Tupelo Honey sauce! Thanks guys! read more

I Visited Mission for an upcoming get-together. Having a conversation with Mike, he recommended the proper amount for the number of guests. Pick-up was easy and on time the day of the event. I had a pleasant conversation with Larry, and he confirmed everything was as needed. The guests loved the food. Definitely recommend. read more

I have eaten I Mission BBQ since they opened the first one. In Pennsylvania, Maryland & Virginia. At first it was excellent in York, PA! Over the years as I traveled I went to other locations and the quality was disappointing. Way to salty. You couldn't enjoy the flavors. I'm disappointed. And now that I am in Virginia I miss it. Please fix this and make it great again. Thanks Car. read more

Always dry. Little food for the price. Many local places that are better. Avoid the pulled pork

The customer service here was fabulous. As a first timer, the cashier came from around the counter and talked to me about the menu and the history and mission of the company. She spoke about community events happening with the company, as well as her passion for the mission of helping veterans and first responders. The food was EXCELLENT and the restaurant was super clean. What a great example of how to take care of patrons. read more

Service is quick and the food is always delicious. My husband really liked the Alabama white sauce but when we came back the last time it was no longer available. However the quality of the slow cooked meats makes up for that! I love that the restaurant is pro police and pro firemen and ems. This restaurant is a great family place and they have something for everyone. read more
