| - Mission BBQ is a very cool, modern space that salutes the hard working first responders and military members. Instead of sports memorabilia adorning the walls, here they use police, fireman, and military uniforms. Way cool atmosphere. They also play old country music which really appeals to me.
The counter staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I found it a very refreshing change from what I have found at other faster food establishments. For this reason alone, it makes me want to be a repeat visitor. Who does not like to feel welcomed and appreciated?
Now for the food. I got some great samples of brisket, macaroni with cheese and chicken to try. They encourage you to try samples. We ordered brisket and pork sandwiches (huge sandwiches) and a meat sampler (chicken, pork and brisket) with side dishes to go. When asked what sauce I liked and since I did not know, they put a sampler pack of every one they make in our bags. Side dishes ordered were macaroni and cheese, baked beans plus cornbread. Loved the cheesy homemade mac and the baked beans were very good as well. Very thick and slow cooked, a little sweet though. Did not try the corn bread, but was told it was sweet but the real stuff. (not the corn flavored flour version at other places) I thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity.
Lastly, the appreciation of military, police and fire is not just shown by decorations. They support the USO and offer appreciation nights with free food.
