I haven't felt this good about leaving a review in a long time. A bit longer than I usually leave but it's an easy read. I wish I could leave more than 5 Stars for the service. Everyone was friendly and attentive. My plate was acceptable to me but obviously not to the manager that brought me a replacement rack of ribs, the rub is awsome, as he stated "I don't like the way that plate looks." So far my first visit to a Mission BBQ was looking good but not as good as the rub! I didn't want to even put sauce on it. I did of course to test each flavor that are appropriately named. The ambiance is an all American salute to our Armed Forces with a special show of gratitude to the local fallen heros on the Gold Star Wall. I absolutely had to try more food. The brisket was flavorful and cooked tender and juicy. The Coleslaw, something I'm very picky about, stood above and beyond almost every other restaurant I've tried. No place is perfect however. The cornbread was a bit thinner and dryer, not too dry, than what I like to see but tasted good and was overall acceptable. The bread pudding is a bit different than what I usually see but was too yummy and if I had my way I could gain 10 pounds easy! In conclusion, I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this establishment.

I wanted to try their brisket, I was given the choice of dry or moist. Told that the most is the better choice for flavor. Dry is for those who are afraid of a lil fat in their food. I got the moist. Apparently the moist should be pitched as for those who want a lil meat with their fat. It was 80% fatty grissle. I pretty much threw it out. Luckily they gave my buddy (a vet) a free blueberry cobbler. Which was like mushy Bisquick on top of blueberry pie filling. I love bb cobbler, just not theirs. My buddy's pulled pork was good. And I love their sauces. Too bad the meat was gross.
