Pure satisfaction. My first time there. So 999999 visits left. I am going to spread the information about this temple of meat lovers around the world. Food is nothing but delicious. The staff is friendly and really professional. Respect for soldiers and other services. I am active military and felt like someone special. Greetings for the Mission BBQ crew. Radek

The food is pretty good. But what made this a 5 star for me was the hospitality. The southern hospitality is real and it’s an unbeatable deal for me.

I’d given this restaurant 5 stars before because they give Veterans such great food, and outstanding service every Veteran’s day. I always get the brisket and (moist means a little more marbling and a lot more delicious flavor) to tantalize your taste buds! I went in again Dec 2022 and Ken was the new manager. He gave me the best warm bread pudding with great textures going on. Trinity waited on me and had someone drop me brand new hot fries… she’s awesome and so we’re they. My favorite sauce is the Nashville hot and the Alabama white sauce is great on fries. They also have a shaker of Old Bat seasoning. The lemonade had fresh lemons in the container! I recommend their food highly and plan to return soon and often.

Another great visit to Mission BBQ. This was my first time visiting the VA Beach location. We normally go to the Richmond locations. Great staff, great food, and outdoor seating was a plus. Proud, patriotic atmosphere is always a winner but what made today’s visit 5 stars++ was a service experience I witnessed:

Delicious brisket! They were able to change my mind about the sauce! I’ve had my favorite for 20+ years, East Carolina sauce. But I tried the Smoky Mountain on a piece of brisket and ended up sopping my cornbread in the plate drippings!

This is my third location I’ve been to. It’s always good!! Very surprised it being a chain restaurant. The brisket is moist good smoke and bark. Tastes like beef. Not overwhelmed with a heavy rub. Smoked turkey was not dry at all. Pulled pork is always great. Always get the collard greens w vinegar and Mac and cheese is creamy goodness. No photos because we were hungry

Mission BBQ is pretty good. Wouldn’t call it the best BBQ spot in the area. I have ordered from here twice and the sauce is what makes the meat taste great. Other than that I find it to be quite average. Love that they do a free sandwich for veterans on Veterans Day though! They were very busy but were dedicated to serving everyone as fast as possible.

We got catering (set up and delivery, not full service) from Mission BBQ and it was fantastic! Their catering team was always very responsive over email and answered a million questions for us! We also had some last minute changes for our side dishes and one accidentally got left behind at the store. A manager brought the missing side dish very quickly and they were very apologetic and definitely made it right – we got everything we needed in plenty of time. Everyone LOVED the food and we had plenty of everything. The only thing we ran out of is plates – so be sure to bring or request a few extra! Definitely would recommend for catering – great value and really great food and service

I don’t write reviews but I would be doing a great disservice if I didn’t take the time out to say what a great experience I had today. The customer service was incredible. Everyone was professional, articulate and welcoming. The staff made me feel like family. They were knowledgeable about all the dishes and explained everything in detail. My meal was perfect. If you have the honor to dine in the Virginia Beach location you will not be disappointed.
