every time I come here, it's been great, love, the brisket! The cornbread isn't very good, but everything else is great!

The food here was absolutely scrumptious. I love that the servers are so hands-on when ordering. I did not know what I wanted to order and they recommended some of the best items. The cornbread was delicious, but not too sweet. The ribs were cooked to perfection and seasoned exceptionally. All of the sides were delicious as well. I love the diversity of the menu. I had never had their turkey before and it was a hit. I didn't have anything that I did not like. The desserts were huge. This is definitely some of the best barbecue that I've had in a long time. The restaurant was super clean, which was a plus. I also loved that they walked around with samples on the day that I visited. That was a great addition.

This place is amazing! I love the outward display of honoring our Military Branches and supports first responders of all branches with the various patches and memorabilia decorating the walls. It's awesome to see! The service was good. The food was a good size and flavorful. The my have various sauce bottles on the table which are labeled and give details of the heat level. I had the pulled chicken sandwich with cheesy potatoes. This potatoes were delish. I would say they are a a version of scalloped potatoes. The sandwhich comes plain but you add the sauce of your choice. My son ordered the brisket and pulled chicken with fries. It also came with cornbread. All in all it was my second time visiting this place and it didn't disappoint!

I am a big fan of Mission BBQ! Over the years, I've been to several in and out of the area, but this is our first time at the Virginia Beach location. We met up with some friends here on a Friday evening around 6pm. They weren't really busy yet so we were able to score a big table. I opted for a side order of brisket and a garden green salad. Hubby ordered the brisket, green beans, baked beans and cornbread. Everything was delicious. We were able to sit outside and talk for a while in their patio area. Great place with a great cause!

The service here never disappoints and the meats are always spot on perfection. I like how they pay tribute to the military here as well as all the various ways to go about making a good bbq meal. The staff is very courteous here and can answer any questions you have about the various assortment of sauces and sandwiches or meat types. I like how their pulled pork is prepared in this region, so I typically go that direction when I order here. Coming from Texas, brisket is something we have locally that can't be matched, but they do it well here, too! They have a good selection for any type of regional bbq you'd like and you'll have a favorite in any of their great tasting meats.
