| - So it was my birthday the other day and I wanted to go to Smokey Bones and get some ribs, but my wife and I both worked so we improvised and got Mission BBQ take home dinner. Not only did I get ribs but I also received a combo platter of sorts with pork and beef brisket, baked beans, coleslaw and a piece of cornbread. Also three different types of BBQ sauce. My wife got some kind of chicken and mac and cheese. The beef brisket was phenomenal, the pulled pork was average... I did have higher expectations being from this establishment. Baked beans were excellent the coleslaw was above average, tasted my wife's mac and cheese and it was rather chalky, cornbread standard, slightly dry. The reason why I'm giving this review three stars is because of the ribs, they had some rub on them that just made them taste so funky, despite smothering them in various barbecue sauces which were KC original I believe, hot honey and something labeled SM which I assume stood for smokey because it had a strong Smoky flavor. Now the barbecue sauces I personally did not like at all, if I had to I would say the best was hotter honey sauce but the original sauce, the staple, was worse than a store brand on clearance due to expired, which I admit I have used. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone, and where not skimpy by any means, but the flavor of the meat was not there at all. I am not planning on going back nor do I recommend someone going here for the ribs, but don't take my word for it. This place has great reviews and I was shocked. I place more value rating this facility for the Ribs & BBQ sauce therefore giving them a lower value. However, I do recommend going here for the beef brisket baked beans and coleslaw. Never tried my wife's chicken, should have, but I doubt I will anytime soon. Good luck!
