We've been here for the BBQ before. What's even more special than that is that it is a veteran-owned business that gives back to the community. Today prior to business hours, with a few TAPSs' ( Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) families we honored the life of Joseph Dale Briseño, Jr.. https://www.bakerpostfh.com/memorials/joseph-briseno-jr/3993068. His portrait joined the wall of other service members that gave the ultimate sacrifice. The manager was so respectful and accommodating . This is a place that I'll keep supporting! read more

This is an excellent BBQ joint in the Northern Virginia (NOVA) region. The cashier provided me samples of the turkey, pulled pork and fatty brisket. I liked the turkey the best because it tasted like Thanksgiving: moist, grilled and well seasoned. It needed no BBQ sauce. It was good on its own. I tried all six BBQ sauces. The Memphis Belle Bay B Que were my favorites. The banana pudding was slap 'yo Mama good! Server Ariyan walked around, providing customer samples of the Big Red Soda, and she gave me two free sandwich coupons. Server Jose provided me a sample of the White Sauce to dip some turkey in it; however, it was the NC Vinegar that was the perfect condiment to the turkey. The food and customer service here is excellent. I am definitely coming back during my stay in NOVA. read more

I haven't had any bbq since moving to Maryland and was in the area today (6/03/25) and was really hungry. So I finally got something I have never tried is the half chicken which was so extremely moist when I finally tried it after I got home. I got my usual moist brisket, those slamming greens and cornbread, Mac and cheese,and added a desert to round it all off. I will have yummy leftovers for my lunch for work tomorrow and later tonight. Service is always great. Glad to see young people who actual like their job. Can't wait to be back on that side of town to get my bbq fix! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

The staff at Mission are always friendly and today was no exception. Brisket was tender and flavorful and the fries had a sprinkle of rub or seasoning that made them taste like happy candy. The restaurants are all the same inside and have fun stuff to look at. read more

Fast casual. Very large portion for the pulled chicken sandwich. Lots of flavors for the bbq sauces. Cornbread was a little dry but nice flavor. Friendly service and quick. The smoky sauces were my favorite read more

Today I went with turkey, brisket, and classic sausage along side some potato salad and greens. Turkey- with KC Classic sauce was great. I could actually taste the smoke and it was juicy. Classic sausage- with Tupelo honey heat sauce. Had a nice snap and just enough heat. This was really good. Brisket- with Texas Twang sauce. This is an outstanding combination! Moist brisket with a tangy sauce is some Damm good eatin'! lol Greens- just a capful of NC Vinegar was exactly what I needed. These are good greens alone, but with vinegar they reminded me of home! I'll ALWAYS eat these Potato Salad- was very good. Potatoes were properly cooked, not hard at all, and seasoned well. Mission BBQ has completed another mission! read more

The bad was the corn bread and potato salad. Not doing it for me. Now the good, 3.5 but I will give them the star for outstanding service and samples. The staff really made this experience special. From TX so bbq is lifeblood for me. The brisket go for the fat. I wish they offered whole chickens. Their sauce was smoky, tasty and smooth. That bottle was awesome! It was to go and they provided me everything I needed to serve and eat. Open kitchen I like that style. The turkey, links and brisket would be the protein of choice. Ribs did not taste so maybe next time. read more

One of the best places for BBQ and service. They treat every customer special. The place is clean and you get great quality and portions of what you order. I love the sides, macaroni and cheese, greens, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes.. you get seasonal choices along with desserts like bread pudding, etc. So delicious, I always have to return to try something new. + clean + hospitality is top notch + plenty of parking + meat is good quality + prices are reasonable read more

Decent service, great food, awesome decor. Nice bathrooms but could've been cleaner. Hamburger is huge!

Locals and Yelp recommended. As a business traveler, Surprisingly great food. Great BBQ is hard to find!! The service took great food to another level. Provided samples to help make decisions.

I felt comfortable and relaxed in a new and unfamiliar place. read more

The food here is great. Awesome bbq and phenomenal options for sauces. But this review is really about the service. Really great operation by the staff here. Whoever is running this place and the entire staff should be proud of the service level that is being provided. Keep it up! read more

Tasty brisket sandwich lunch with fries prepared correctly by caring people, especially Bernadette. We were fortunate to be there at noon for the singing of our country's National Anthem.

Order for my team for their thanksgiving celebration. And Kaitlyn was awesome I arrived early and she came over to let me know they are working on my order and to tell me the substitutes that she gave us since they were out of something. Her customers service was fantastic!! Glad to see it still exists!!! read more

6/13/21: We ordered online & called in to see if they were doing curbside. The rude young lady that answered the phone told us to just come inside. If they aren't doing curbside anymore, they need to take down the signs. Anyway, we ordered pulled pork sandwiches & fries. The pork was yummy, but the fries were soggy. We literally ordered from outside the restaurant & it gave us the pickup time. So, why package our food early and have our fries soggy?? That makes no sense & that's why I'm taking away a star. Other than that, there was plenty of parking & I could See that Covid guidelines aren't strictly being followed because there were customers going in and coming out without masks. If we are in the area, we may go back. We were just passing through. read more

Mission BBQ [MB]. (1.875 stars). Smoke Ring. Smoked meats. Seasoning and dry rub. Sauces (for those who like it saucy). Those are some of the items that I mentally make a checklist of when I eat any America BBQ meal!! I'm a hardcore Texas BBQ dry rub lover. I can eat my bbq with sauce especially if it is needed to bring moisture & some flavor to the meat. I've been to a few of MB's locations and this is probably the best location thus far. That isn't saying much since my meal was dismal. First off, the price didn't bother me. Even for the "small portions". BBQ is a tough craft that requires HOURS of love just to put anything on a plate! I actually thought the prices were on the cheaper end even though the execution was severely lacking. Black label steak. (2 stars). Drrrryyyyyyyy & flavorless. Tough to chew. No redeeming qualities that would ever make me order this any time soon. Pulled pork. (2 stars). Very oily and lacking any seasoning. Stringy & dry in some areas. Jalapeño sausage. (2 stars). Very tough to chew. Jalapeño is evident but nothing exceptional about this sausage. Lean brisket. (1 star). Worst lean cut of brisket I've had in a long time. Extremely dry & almost jerky like. Impossible to chew. No flavor. Top was burnt. Moist brisket. (3 stars). Moist. Tender. No flavor or seasoning evident. The only thing I would order if I came back. Cornbread. (2 stars). Very dense. Edible but not great. Slightly sweet. Kickin' collard greens. (2 stars). Average. Lots of onions which I didn't care for but didn't take away from my rating. Not enough vinegar to cut through the oily watery "broth". Meh. Mac & cheese. (1 star). Watery. Mushy. Taste like boxed Mac & cheese. Few macaroni were still undercooked. Most were dissolving before my eyes (overcooked). While I don't rate service, I had one dismal experience & one great experience here. The cashier was very unsure of the entire menu as far as what was in each offering & had a very "I don't give a F$&k I just work here" attitude. The manager was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Friendly & engaging. MB, please take the time to have your staff learn your menu properly by tasting & being able to explain what makes your food worth trying!!?? I realize MB is a chain, but it's pretty close to where I live & I really wanted to give them another chance. They also have a lot of military motif & provide veterans with discounts which is awesome! But after trying 3 separate locations on 4 occasions, I think I'll pass. I wish MB well. read more

The lady at the cashier was trying to show everyone how much she hates her job. She seemed annoyed that we came into eat,it was weird how nice she was to the same aged black lady in front of us however the look of disdain that my daughter and I were next to order she kept rolling her eyes. Upon completion of order she simply said next and told me to move and my young daughter. The food was good service came across as racist read more

A monkey-pigeon with a renewed heart would understand the level of happiness a meal like this would bring to a soul like mine. I mean considering the amount of high protein and savory carbs that is in this meal, Mission BBQ stands righteously behind their well-cooked, and grilled choices of meat by delivering an exquisite taste of options on their menu. Can't go wrong with the 3 meat sampler: Baby back ribs, beef brisket (moist & lean), pulled chicken, Mac-n-cheese, cole-slaw and corn bread. That in the center is a blueberry cobbler .... Definitely a meal worth taking to the moon and back. Who's with me? read more

This place is decent obviously cannot compare to a barbecue place in Texas but probably one of the best places to get barbecue and these parts. Love the special limited time and availability options like smoked pastrami and beef ribs! Wish those were permanent options. read more

I randomly had a craving for bbq. Been here a few times. The service is always good but it's just weird that they "cater to military" so much but don't give a military discount. But that's besides the point because I don't go to places for the discount. I had the pulled pork sandwich, I didn't particularly care for their buns/bread. The pork was okay, a little salty. Green beans were good. And fries were good, some areas of the fries were a little overly seasoned though. My kid had the rib plate, I had a bite and the ribs had good flavor but were a little salty as well. My other kid had the Mac and cheese which tasted good but was extremely saucy. There seemed to be more sauce than macaroni noodles. I know it sounds like I don't like seasoned food which is totally not true, there is definitely a way to over season food... I think I'll head somewhere else for bbq next time. read more

Great food, good service but doesn't offer delivery. Pulled pork and brisket were very good and sauce was as well.

Look I'm a sucker for Mission BBQ. I love BBQ but I also just love the casual concept they have going on. Love how fast the food comes out, how you can pick your favorite sauce, and the sides are also delicious. The service is always top notch. Whenever I am craving bbq or we are out running errands by a mission, I make it mission to get some! read more

I know this is franchise bbq but it's my go to and in my opinion the best there is in Woodbridge. But it's not always about the food. The staff here are remarkable. Seriously you do not get service like this any where else. They are always friendly, attentive and go above and beyond to make your experience there terrific. We always feel very welcome! Cheers to the staff here and great food! read more

Mission accomplished for some of the best BBQ I've had in quite awhile. Food is excellent, service is very friendly, and you get your food in record time. Nothing pretentious here, order at the line and they call your name to come pick up your food at the counter. Portions are very large, with the pulled pork and brisket both hot and fresh. The brisket was just right, not too dry or fatty and the pork was spot on as well. The BBQ beans and green beans are both worth a try and you even get a fresh slice of cornbread which isn't gritty and almost tastes like a dessert cake. The sweet tea here is 100% real and worth a try, get the large to go cup and refills are .99 cents. DC area BBQ is normally a continual land of overpriced disappointment so Mission really stands out as a must try even though yes it's a chain. read more

Never a bad meal there, very professional, very courteous. Their pulled pork and a brisket sandwiches are amazing.

The food was moist and it was good. I'll be back soon. I had the half of yard bird and two sides, green beans and potato salad and it was so great like I said people you should stop by Mission barbecue and try it. You will not be disappoint. read more

I got the sauce!!! Yea I'm saucy!!!! Let me tell you about my favorite BBQ spot!!!! First things first, do not let the line keep you from this delicious goodness!! Your taste buds will be kissing you after you are finished eating here!! The line does move quickly so never fear. I did notice that most of the people in line were getting to go orders so the line moved quickly. no concerns over having somewhere to sit because there was plenty of seating to choose from. You do have the option to eat outside as well weather permitting. I did like that there was someone walking up and down the line offering help if you had questions on the menu. Sooooo helpful so hopefully by the time its your turn to order, you will already know what you want. I ordered the Pulled Chicken Sandwich with fries. Listen, the chicken was sooo moist and juicy. As I write this I am feverishly debating on getting in the car and finding my way back. Fries were well seasoned and tasted fab!! We also got a side salad which was like a baby salad, a little smaller than a side but not big enough to make a dent in your hunger pains, so please order something else to go with it. If you dine in, you can play with the sauces until you fond one that you like. My personal favorite was the Bay-B-Que because as soon as I tasted it that small hint of Old Bay drew me in like sitting on the back porch cracking open crabs with an ice cold beer. It was sooo good I had to dip my fries in it too. If you like ribs you will not be disappointed, the price point my get you but they a pack full of flavor you might be able to get passed just once. If you happen to get a fountain drink, check out the toolbox that houses all things condiments and even to go cups with lids if you want to take some sauces home with you. How many places you know have Old Bay as a condiment? This place does!!! I am convinced that whatever you order, you will not be disappointed. If you know you will be a repeater, take the time to buy the cup so when you come back all refills are only 99 cents. As if you need anymore convincing, if you are unsure and what to taste something, just ask because they are willing to give you a sample. read more

I feel like the serving I took to go on Friday was the smallest I've ever seen. My husband and I got dinner and we don't come here often because we also think the temperature on the food being served isn't that hot still, we like the bbq. We brought a Friday here as well and they really enjoyed it. That's a plus for them because they are super picky. We even ended up going just for them on Sunday because he liked it SO much. I just wish the food was hotter read more

Blasting off on all cylinders! Mission BBQ is on a mission to squelch the competition. Five star food, but usually the staff is mumbling among themselves, talking about vacation, cars, forgo making contact; even just asking if your day is good - I would too, if any of you cared enough! Six flavorful sauces on solid, heavy tables await after you have picked up your lunch. Heaps of machine shredded pork, chicken, ribs, beef and fries: simply unbeatable. Corn on the cob, slaw, salad, potato salad. What I miss is having real silver and plates.. Refills from the soda fountain, and so much to look at on the walls, it will take you a lifetime. Mission control: we have found 5 star BBQ Come with family. Look for matte-black military supply truck. Rebel review: 4 stars read more

The crowds seemed to have died down since opening and I came to grab a quick dinner. It was pretty quick ordering since there was no line but the dining room was about half full. I ordered a chopped brisket sandwich with beans, two macs, and a drink. The brisket sandwich had too much sauce in my opinion so wasn't too much of a fan. The mac was recommended by others and it was good but nothing too special, same with the beans. I might come back to try a completely different meal, preferably with less sauce. read more

I'm not the type to complain about lack of discounts, but this place reps the military so hard (wall decor, tv photo albums, national anthem, etc) but doesn't give a military discount. It's fine...not my business, but it just seems a lil weird. And I know there is a vip club for service members that offers benefits sometimes, but no sales discount is wild to me. The food, however, was pretty good, so they have that going for them at least. read more
