Mission Bbq - Mentor

Food: As far as options go, they seem a little light and there wasn 't anything that stood out to me, like something that you can ONLY get from this place. Still, the sampler is good, mac 'n 'cheese is the bomb, brisket was good and tender, jalapeño sausage was excellent, everything was good. No collared greens though?Service: No complaints. The kid behind the counter was young looking and I asked what was good, he just shrugged. Man, I just work here. ??? Well, time to just close my eyes and point I guess! Ha!Atmosphere: I will say that although I consider myself to be patriotic, I do agree with some of the other comments that this place goes a little overboard on supporting the troops. Like, I get it... and I read their website too, it 's cool they give back to the military service functions, but as what point does it feel like they are using that for their benefit? At some point I almost feel like it is boasting that they are so pro-military. Maybe that 's just me, but I prefer a more silent approach. If the food is good, then that alone should speak for itself.Price: It 's not too expensive, 20-25$ for a good plate of BBQ. I am always willing to pay the price if the food lives up to the hype. I think overall, the price is just right for what you get.Overall: I was just a little put-off by the AMOUNT of memorabilia that is strewn about. Maybe that 's just me, but in my head I was thinking that the military was what defined this place, not the food. But the rest of the place is solid and now I know a great BBQ place if I am ever back in the area.

I've been here before and it was wonderful. Today, everything was dry.

Literally used this place for part of my wedding plans. Food is Dank AF. Service is possibly tooo friendly 11/10. Ask for the Alabama horseradish sauce!!!

I had never been here and really enjoyed the kind staff and great atmosphere. Clean dining area and super great food!!Kid-friendliness: We had a 1 yr old with us. She had a great time people watching and the staff all enjoyed her playing. She liked the Mac and cheese and her pulled chicken . She even got a cookie.

This restaurant was fantastic! The food was cooked to perfection, and the staff went above and beyond to take care of our group. Our meals arrived quickly, hot, and bursting with flavor! I wish I had caught the cashier's name because he was so friendly—he even brought out cookies and brownies for our table. They truly exceeded my expectations for food service and dining. I am definitely a lifelong customer now. I really appreciate our first responders!
