My family and I stopped in at Mission BBQ for dinner, and from the moment we walked in, we were…read morewelcomed like family. The young lady behind the counter was friendly, patient, and handled all of our questions like a true professional. The food was excellent across the board. My daughter ordered the burger, my wife had the salmon and turkey, my son had the ribs, and I went with the Yardbird. Everything was cooked perfectly, and no one had a single complaint. We tried a variety of sides, and the mac and cheese was the clear family favorite. While we were eating, we had a nice conversation with one of the ladies working in the dining room. She surprised us by bringing over two blueberry cobblers on the house, which was incredibly thoughtful. It was honestly the best blueberry cobbler I've ever had. Great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back. On a second visit My son and I stopped in for dinner after our CAP meeting. We placed our order and went to get our drinks. Shortly afterward, our order was ready. We both chose the smoked cheddar burger. I would have liked it to be a little hotter, but it was still very good. Of course, we paired it with fries and mac and cheese. While we were getting our food, I noticed a gentleman who had arrived before us was still waiting. He spoke with the manager and explained that he had already been waiting about 20 minutes and had not been called. The manager immediately apologized and had his order prepared on the spot. He then went a step further and issued the gentleman a full refund. It turns out the gentleman was a U.S. Navy veteran. Respect to Mission BBQ for doing the right thing and putting their customers first. That level of service still matters.

Freedom isn't Free…read more.. We had a tasty BBQ dinner at Mission BBQ tonight. We found them on Yelp & they had excellent reviews. After visiting, we can tell you they are a superior BBQ place. The food was wonderful - pulled port, mac & cheese, coleslaw, french fries...all delicious! The best part was that because it's Veterans Day, the restaurant is giving free sandwiches to Vets & First Responders. Then we learned that on other days, they get free dessert. How fabulous!! 5 Stars and bonus points since the entire staff was super! A staff member came over to ensure we were enjoying our food & our cashier came out to give us more info on the program they offer for our heroes. Check out the many restaurants in varios states. They have 9/11 memorabilia and photos of vets/first responders. More restaurants & shops should do this!! We will definitely be back here!!

The employees were very friendly, and when we mentioned that it was our first visit the employee taking our order made great suggestions. Service was excellent and we didn't have to wait long for our food. We all enjoyed the food. Everything we ordered was excellent. There were two BBQ sauces on the table but neither was spicy. A friendly employee offered to bring spicy BBQ sauce, she brought it in a small cup and it was just spicy enough. The only issue we had was that the music was much too loud. I like music, and don't mind loud-ish music in restaurants. But this music was so loud that we couldn't even have conversation. I'm certified in hearing testing and happened to have my sound level meter with me. I checked the sound of the music and it was 94.9 decibels, which exceeds OSHA's safe limit of 85 decibels. 94.9 is a level where permanent hearing damage can occur. Besides the super loud music the rest of the visit was good. Other reviews have mentioned the blaring music as well.

I ordered the family meal which comes with all their meats, four sides and four rolls. I noticed the rolls were missing and the girl at the register said they were out of rolls. Paying over $80 with tax and tip I'd expect something to make up for it. Brisket: extremely dry and had to put a lot of their BBB sauce on it to make it edible. Ribs: tasty but hardly any meat Pork: good, but I've had much better Sausage: no complaints, delicious Special Tea: had an odd taste that I couldn't put my finger on it, but wouldn't order again. I had to put sauce on everything but the sausage and good bbq doesn't need sauce. They had a special banana pudding cheesecake that was honestly the best thing we had and it was absolutely delish. The service is great, but very loud inside so stand near the front or you may not hear your name. This place has been on my bucket list, especially after seeing all the TikTok's and cooking shows he's been on, but I won't be back.,

They were great and let me try all the sauces on the table. The brisket sandwich and fries on the other hand, not so good. Most of the frozen crinkle cut fries were limp and not what I'd call completely cooked. Screwing up frying a brought in frozen fry is bad and hard to do. I ate maybe 4 of them. The brisket sandwich looked impressive - and the bun is!! The meat though is disappointing. Shaved super thin, maybe 4 oz of meat on the sea of bun, but the killer was the salt! This meat is super salty. It had good flavor until that salt hits ya. One and done place for me.

This time I tried the pork rib ends with Mac and cheese and baked beans. Another home run. Those delicious beans are in a savory sauce with some succulent bits of meat in them. While we were eating the owner asked if we had tried his mustard bbq sauce. We hadn't, so he gave us some and suggested we mix a small amount of it into some of his red sauce. I'll be doing that from now on. We were not looking forward to eating in the 93° heat, but you know, under his shade tarps with a gentle breeze it wasn't too bad. You should treat yourself to Ocala's BEST Q!

We haven't been to this barbecue place in years and now that we returned we are kicking ourselves…read morefor waiting so long! This restaurant has been here forever, but gets really great inspections from the health department despite being an older building. We ordered to-go and ate in the parking lot. What a feast! We ordered their current special: a full slab on payback ribs and 2 sides for a mere $14.99. That was to take home, but we sampled it in the car and no silverware was needed. These ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy and thick. It was hard to remember that these were for later, we wanted them all now! Our sides were fries and baked beans. The beans were good, but the fries were nothing special. My husband got a pulled pork sandwich with green beans and hasn't stopped raving about the green beans the entire time he was eating. He said the sandwich was delicious, too! I like meat cooked well-done, so I ordered a burnt ends sandwich and coleslaw. What a happy surprise that the meat was thinly sliced instead of the usual chunks served at other places! Every single piece of meat was well-cooked, tasty, and not at all fatty or greasy. I'm a fan! The coleslaw was delicious, too! Our to-go ordered was served with a smile, plenty of napkins and silverware and ketchup and salt and pepper and barbecue sauce. I found a new restaurant to crave (again)!

The waitress responded promptly with our drinks (No Diet Coke) only Coke Zero...No problem for me, but Dawn dislikes the Coke and Pepsi zero products. The Restaurant is nice, clean, spacious and well lighted (a plus for me) The waitstaff, and servers were cordial and professional. Not a big crowd, but it was nice with football on the t.v. and a little country music playing at a nice level. My 1/2 lb burger was cooked and seasoned well, it arrived good and hot too. The cold slaw was good, and tasty. Dawn had the 4 seasons salad, and she said it was good and the grilled chicken was palatable. Overall we had a good meal and decent experience. We would definitely come back again. Jewelz, our server made several trips to our table, and kept our glasses full.

Along with two sides and cornbread. You can change up the type for each additional serving. So freaking good. Nice portions. My inner fatty was happy! The ribs were tender, tasty, with little fat, and prepared perfectly. A selection of different BBQ sauces on the table to try. Cole slaw and a baked sweet potato with cinnamon butter to put on it. After four rounds of ribs I was properly stuffed. Yum! Terrific service here, as she checked on us accordingly, brought our food over quickly, and made sure we had our unlimited ribs refills. Large and clean restaurant, along with clean bathrooms too. Our server also offered us drink refills in to-go cups as we were leaving. That's a nice perk.

So far, EVERYTHING on the menu sounds delicious and the quandary I found myself in was that I was…read moreso pulled in a million directions on what I wanted to order...I just couldn't decide! We started with Carolina Tater Skins. Absolutely DELICIOUS! Potato skins with Roast Pork, cheese, bacon, green onions, topped with bbq sauce...cup of sour cream in the middle. Didn't last over 3 minutes for the two of us and there were 6 of them! They were THAT delicious. I ordered the Birria Tacos (3) with a side salad and my husband got the Cuban Clucker sandwich with a side of crinkle fries. We spoke to our waitress about how we had wanted to try their food for awhile now but just so happened to find ourselves about 1.3 miles from this location tonight and made the decision to try them tonight! She said they were best known for their wings and just how to get them. So we also ordered 10 wings done just that way. Our meals were brought not too long after we demolished our fabulous appetizer. Wow! Absolutely crazy good! I pounded the three Birria Tacos in record time, in between also demolishing my side salad. My husband said his fries were perfect and he's STILL working on that huge sandwich as I write this! Lol The chicken wings, while they looked delicious, once I tried one, there was a strange fishy taste that came across so strong on the wings that didn't have the sweet and spicy sauce on them, that I couldn't eat them. It actually made me gag. I just couldn't eat them. The waitress asked us how we liked them, so I explained what was wrong with them. She offered to have them remade but we declined. She told the manager to come speak to us about them. He was nice enough, but looked intimidated by us (a 61 and 62 yr old?) and kinda looked anywhere but at me when I was explaining what the problem was with the wings. He was said he'd investigate. Our waitress came back and asked if he spoke with us. I said he did. She asked what he said and I said he told us he'd investigate the problem. She asked us if he said he's take the wings off our bill and I said no. She said she'd take them off anyways because it was a whole 10 wings we didn't eat. I said, thanks but I'm not trying to get free food especially if she gets in trouble for doing that. She said but you didn't even eat them! I said she couldn't have paid ME to eat them! The taste was so gross I actually used a napkin to wipe the taste off my tongue! She laughed. We went ahead and ordered dessert to make up for the wings we sent back and then didn't want after all. The bourbon peach bread pudding turned out to be sold out, so we settled on beignet bites for him and Pecan Pie for myself. Both were EXCELLENT! WE will definitely be back to see our fantastic waitress Anna and to try more of their menu because they have some of the most delicious sounding entrees! All in all, we were impressed by the fantastic food (minus the fishy wings), but everything was fresh, delicious and very decently priced! Great place to bring the family because there's something for everyone here. Chicken tenders to burgers and all kinds of sandwiches, soups, salads, pasta...diversity without being outrageous. Great combos! Can't wait to try something else next visit! You know it was a great meal when your husband turns to you as you're walking to the car together and he says "thank you babe. That was really good!". 'Nuff said?

Immediately we were seated in a large booth and the host brought us 2 chicken wings to try for a contest they enter. The wings were delicious it had a spicy peach sauce and you could taste the peach and heat. I ordered the salad with chicken marinated in Mojos sauce and OMG I don't eat chicken a lot but it was delicious so soft and tender it melted in your mouth the spices gave it a nice not spicy flavor. I also ordered the cheese grits, my boyfriend got a hamburger and fried and seemed to enjoy it. I wish we lived closer but will definitely looking forward to stopping here on a road trip.
