MISSION BBQ

Staff was friendly and nicely put together. The food is what was lacking here. I got a yard bird and turkey. I tried 2 of there sauce, not good. I tried 2 others, but congealed and watery. The meat has no flavor, none. The meat was dry. The seasoning they use has no flavor. It has heat, but no flavor. Green beans were good, just lot of juices in it. The only thing I think they did good with was the sweet tea. I would only come back to try their burger, but nothing else. Very disheartening.

Mission BBQ is great! The staff is friendly and attentive, and they make you feel welcomed. Now, as a military family, and new military mom, this eating experience definitely provided a different experience due to the noon playing of the Star Spangled Banner. As I struggled to hear the words, while all the staff and customers stopped to honor those who currently serve or those having served in the past, I remembered my children who fight for this country. Ms. Honi, the General Manager, and fellow military mom, took the time to come speak with me and tell me of her experience with her 4 children who serve in the military. She encouraged me, and let me know at Missions, I could come anytime, because people here understand what I am battling. As I fought my tears, she came over again to my table to give me a hug, and Iappreciated the hug of encouragement! I originally came for a meal, and I left with so much more! In addition, I am grateful for Ms. YaYa; she continued to check on each of the customers, and she stopped by to check in on us several times. With all that said, We ordered 5 babyback ribs, a three meat platter that included fatty brisket, turkey, & pulled chicken. We had a side of potato salad, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, & baked beans. We also ordered the grilled shrimp with side of Alabama white sauce blend. And a half chicken dinner to go. Also, since my husband is a veteran, he received a homemade strawberry shortcake. The poundcake, which is made in store, wss topped with fresh strawberry topping. It was delicious! Overall, our rating was a 10/10, and they have the best brisket in town! We will definitely be back again, and thank you again Mission BBQ!

This place does really well for a chain. The service is outstanding. The fact that they do so much for the community is awesome. I love that they have all the photos of vets and first responders on the walls. The whole place is a great vibe, and a nice place to have a good lunch. The one here in Lakeland was super friendly. Love it!

Makayla is the best server you’re gonna get. Apple cobbler is to die for. Smoked hamburger is amazing. Honestly my favorite bbq place ever. Mission BBQ is so good I have never had such good server experience before and she was the best. Makayla need a raise give her some credit and some tips cause she knows what’s up. 100% THE PLACEEE

What a great atmosphere and food was delicious. Portions were great and staff were super friendly.

We truly love missing barbecue and always have a great experience. Every time we go this place was super friendly. The staff was great very prompt on our order. My wife went to the bathroom and by the time she returned it was ready. Also, it was New Year’s Eve. they were closing early. We got in 15 minutes before they were closing, and they still was happy to serve us with the smile thank you to the great staff at Mission barbecue

One of my favorite places to eat. If you are a BBQ fan, this is a must stop. The staff at this location were friendly and helpful. The food... fantastic. Try the burger, it won't let you down.
