    White Peach Sangria
    Janet H.

    Have been to this restaurant many times. Always a solid experience. Tonight was no exception. Place is always clean and TV's have on a game or some other sporting event. Service was pretty good, food was delicious. Highly recommend the Brunswick Stew as an appetizer, and the Roasted Banana Pudding for dessert. Dessert would have been even more amazing if it was made with real whipped cream instead of Cool Whip, but I managed to eat it all anyway. A good choice if you're looking to eat out.

    I've been to this location many times, always is a mostly good experience. My most recent time, the person I went with, their burger was raw, and they ended up not eating 85% of it. Their pitchers of sangria is always a great deal!

    We had to stop back during their 25th Anniversary Promo ! We ordered the same Full Rack and it was on the money again ! Service was attentive and friendly, our food arrived hot and the ribs were glazed to perfection and fall off the bone meat Again, the interior was clean with nice decor and the smell of a BBQ in the air Only negative is the 2 young folks at the entrance, instead of just standing there, tell your customers Thank You for stopping by and hope to see you back again.

    Hubby brought home dinner from Smokey Bones and we all were quite disappointed. The brisket wasn't tender, pulling apart, or juicey as is Mission's brisket. The chicken wings were too seasoned. The wings were overcooked and tossed in the sauce to try to insert moisture but it was a huge fail. The seasoning was so overpowering that the only way to eat it was with a mouthful of mash. However, the mash was buttery and a good consistency. The Cole slaw was very good as well. It wasn't too sweet and had a good mix of green and red cabbages. The Mac and cheese, well the Mac because there was hardly any cheese. I had to make a from scratch cheese sauce to add to it and sprinkled seasoned bread crumbs and butter on top and but it in my air fryer, mmmm!!! The pulled chicken was dry. For a smoke house, they've got it backwards! Shouldn't it be all about the smoked meats? Here only the sides were good. Hubby said that as he paid for the take out meals there was no option to adjust tip. It went straight to 20%. 20%+ tip goes for full dinning in service not for take out, we won't be recommending this place nor ever ordering or dinning here again. Mission continues to be on top!

    Ashley was my server... what a positive, energetic lady! She greeted me immediately and took my drink order. Brought my drink back with beautiful presentation. And taste was spot on!! It was a lemon drop martini so she had to mix it herself. My meal came out promptly and was delicious. I will be going back very soon. Thank you!

    Fantastic from appetizers to desserts. I was there for a private dinner meeting. It was held…read moreupstairs. The server did a great job with making sure that our drinks were filled, and we had to go boxes and brought our food out in a timely manner. Some of the appetizer choices were the calamari, fried kale and crab claw lollipops. All three were absolutely outstanding, and the portions were large. For dinner, our choices are rockfish, lobster, mac & cheese, filet mignon, or grilled chicken green curry. Again, the portion sizes were large and everyone enjoyed their meals. We were able to choose from a flourless chocolate torte or cheesecake. I forgot to mention that the Caesar salad was so fresh and the dressing was outstanding. I would like to come back and experience the restaurant and their entire menu. The upstairs had a fun, urban feel with a fireplace and a cool bar. We felt comfortable and it was a fun vibe.

    Darwin would be displeased with you. As am I, because it's never good to have a tired teacher…read moreresearch any kind of history on her day off. You see, back in 17th century England, private houses would open their homes to the public and sell food and beer. Hence, public house. Over time, they dropped the "lic house" and just called them pubs. Because you never dropped the "lic house" makes me think that you haven't evolved like you should have. And frankly, your food is proof. In fact, it even made me nostalgic. But not in the way you might think. You see, I loved making fun food concoctions when I was a kid. My sister and I would watch this corny show called "Zoom" on Maryland public television, where the kid hosts would make recipes sent in from all over the country. We'd make homemade peanut butter cups using Jif and semisweet chocolate chips. Or weird sandwich combinations like pickles and potato chips and cheese and jelly. The seafood egg rolls weren't the worst part of my meal, but they were definitely sophomoric--as if a kid chef-in-training was asked to whip something up from Chinese food leftovers. Seafood should never taste fishy, yet these did. One bite hit me like something that had been sitting a little too long above the waterline. Not to mention, they were laying on a greasy glob of some mayonnaise accompaniment disguised as a fancy garnish you'd see on MasterChef. One word: Ick. The ahi tacos. Oh boy. My mind fills with seawater the moment I think of them because they tasted as if they had been fished right out of the ocean and then placed on my plate. They were wet. Soaked. Drenched. The gelatinous seaweed clump on each taco wasn't culinary-forward, just unappetizing. I took one bite and wished I could spit it back out, but I reluctantly swallowed it. My esophagus is now aquaphobic thanks to you. The moment the coconut jasmine rice hit my mouth, my tastebuds took the red eye to the coconut tree haven of the Maldives. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, but the rice and coconut had no cohesion. It tasted like my younger self dumping a handful of shredded coconut--the sweetened kind my mom kept in the pantry for the wool on her Easter-shaped lamb cake--into a cup of microwaveable rice. The only redeeming aspect of our meal was your kind, charismatic waiter. He was lovely in every way--attentive, sweet, and helpful. He would have been an incredible host on "Zoom." If only his personality made the food taste better. For your sake, I hope you learn to evolve your kitchen's offerings beyond the amateurish trio I experienced. If not, your restaurant's bones may end up fossilized alongside every other place that couldn't adapt.
