First of all the amazing bbq smell hits you as soon as you leave the car and there are few better greetings than that. When we arrived around 11:45 on a Sunday there was a line of folks. Best I can tell, they had gotten a little behind putting together a large catering/to-go order. The line moved quickly was they were focused on us. The folks behind the counter were friendly and welcoming. We got their smoked dogs, with a side of pimento cheese mac and cheese and I tried their smoked devil eggs too. We sat on the ice cream side of the restaurant as they got our lunch ready. When our dogs hit the table there was an immediate and simultaneous, "Wowwwwww!" from us. I mean, just look at that picture. These were MONSTER wieners in big, toasted, split top buns. The slaw was flavorful and crunchy, the mustard BBQ was the ideal flavor profile. We were in heaven. The pimento mac and cheese - a delight. SO creamy with actual flavor (rare for restaurant mac and cheese unfortunately). The deviled eggs were good but I don't know they they were anything special. This was such a great spot. I'm really looking forward to returning.

This just wasn't for us. We ordered the pulled pork…read moresandwich, which was fatty and didn't have any real flavor without you adding a sauce. We ordered a deviled egg, which had been sitting in the cooler and it tasted like the inside of a fridge. We ordered the biscuits, which were completely burnt and I mean black on the bottom, with a gummy almost undone texture on the inside. Wouldn't return.

Disappointing service from a rude server at a place we've long enjoyed…read moreWe've been loyal customers here for quite some time, visiting at least twice a month, usually on Friday or Saturday nights when we enjoy the live music. Unfortunately, our last two visits have been marred by the same new server who was consistently rude and dismissive. On our most recent visit, we waited over 10 minutes before she approached our table. My husband ordered a meal (he loves the BBQ), but I cannot eat the smoked food due to stomach issues. I simply ordered a rum and coke with lime. She responded with "Pepsi?" and later repeated back only "Pepsi" when confirming the order, completely ignoring the rum portion even after I emphasized it. When my husband requested sangria -- something the bartender has happily made for us on previous Friday/Saturday visits -- she insisted they don't serve it and that he must have had it on a Sunday. We never visit on Sundays. Later in the evening, we moved closer to the fire pit because it was cool outside. She brought our water over and checked on us a couple of times. We told her we were fine. Toward the end of the night, my husband went to the bar to order another drink (as we've done before when the server isn't readily available). When it came time to close out our tab, the server arrived with the manager (Nolan) in tow. His presence felt awkward and accusatory -- as if we were about to skip out on the bill or posed some kind of problem. When we expressed confusion, he said he was just there to "warm his hands." As longtime, regular customers, we found the overall treatment disrespectful and off-putting. We tried speaking with a manager afterward to share our experience, but it didn't seem to go anywhere. We genuinely wanted to continue supporting this spot for the music and atmosphere, but after two poor experiences in a row with this server and the strange handling at close-out, we will not be returning. There are plenty of other options nearby.

Second time ever at mission bbq and an update to my review…read more Had the brisket, pulled chicken, Cole slaw, and peach cobbler. Chicken: good. Moist. My preference is for whole pieces of smoked chicken but I get it. The NC sauce in the table was an ok compliment to this. Brisket: got the combo lean/fatty. Both were good, lean just a touch dry but not horrible. Cole slaw: good. Was worried when I sat down because there's no s&p on the table.....didn't need it. Peach cobbler: star of dinner. Nothing beats hot peach cobbler, even if it's just "pretty good" cobbler. Overall: food was good. Nothing spectacular, but solid. Much better than my first trip. Service was excellent (it wasn't super busy). Ambiance: sort of a Texas locker room/military/fire department sort of thing going on. Pretty ok. Cons: food doesn't stay warm long on a metal tray inside a cold restaurant. And out of 7 choices for bbq sauce, not a single "really good" one. The Memphis sauce was probably the best of all 7. I'll go back. This experience was so much better than the first time. Did not take fresh pictures.

The guy running things in the trailer was very friendly, clearly the owner. They offer all the typical BBQ joint menu items (Brisket, Pulled pork, Pulled chicken., Ribs, etc) and all the typical sides too (beans, slaw, green beans, corn bread, etc). I also liked that they have about 6 BBQ sauces, all made by them and all different styles/flavors. We got a pulled chicken sandwich and a brisket sandwich. For sides, we opted for their cole slaw and baked beans. I also got one of each of their sauces to try. Prices seemed fair, at $28 for this order (what I said we got). Getting home and cracking into our order - The slaw was 'ok' but seemed to be lacking depth of flavor (celery seed and pepper) and had a slightly off taste. Plus, the container was filled about half way. The beans were really good! Nice flavor, spice, and sweetness to them. Next was to try the sandwiches... My wife got the pulled chicken sandwich and as soon as she unwrapped it, she thought it was pork, as it looked chopped and was in extremely small pieces. She tried to eat it and wanted to enjoy it, but the texture was like sawdust, as it was chopped so finely. For me, I got the brisket and when I opened it, I felt like the beef was a little overdone, but the flavor was decent. The texture was tender, but slightly dry - it definitely needed sauce. As for those sauces - My favs were the mustard and the Texas - Both were flavorful and really nice. Overall - Not bad, but if I went back, I would totally try other items.

So, my friend and I decided to share a veggie omelet & a black bean & corn veggie burger. Both were excellent, though the burger was our fave. The burger had such a flavorful chipotle mayo (not spicy); it really complimented the blend of corn and black beans with some guac. Yum! The omelet was quite good, too. The incredible selection of veggies were well-cooked and plentiful - asparagus, red pepper, squash, zucchini, red onion, all tucked into fluffy eggs topped with melted provolone. Yum!
