There’s nothing more American than barbecue, and Mission BBQ brings the greatest flavors from around the country to South Florida.
Stepping into Mission BBQ isn’t like stepping into a traditional barbecue restaurant ― it takes that southern log-cabin feel and gives it a modern twist. The owners have a deep sense of respect for the men and women who serve in the military, members of the police force and first responders, and this joint is about as patriotic as it gets. The wood and metal-clad walls are adorned with patches and photos from every branch of the U.S. Military, and they even play the national anthem every day at noon.
From brisket to ribs, and everything in between, Mission BBQ has something for every barbecue fanatic. They offer tender pulled pork sandwiches piled high with coleslaw, smoky fall-off-the-bone ribs and moist or lean brisket. All meals are served up hot and fresh with a huge selection of sauces, including Memphis Belle, Smoky Mountain and Texas Twang. Customers can spice up their meal anyway they like.
But the barbecue isn’t the only great thing Mission BBQ has to offer. Their side dishes are good enough to steal the show. “Maggie’s Mac-N-Cheese” is hands down one of the best items on the menu; the warm and gooey mac and cheese, with a light and crispy breaded topping, is enough to make anyone’s mouth water. And the menu’s other options are just as appetizing. Customers can get baked beans and brisket, coleslaw, green beans and bacon or fries in sizes of a serving, a pint or a quart to suite any appetite.
Mission BBQ makes it easy to ensure that the customers get all the great barbecue they could ever want. They offer an XL Combo, which allows customers to choose an entrée, one side and a drink. But if that’s not enough to fill you up, they also offer an XXL Combo, which allows you to choose one additional side.
If you need something to wash down that barbecue chicken or mac and cheese, Mission BBQ has you covered. In addition to the standard fountain drinks, they also have a sweet Summertime Lemonade and hand-brewed sweet or unsweetened iced tea. If you’re looking something a little more authentic than iced tea or a fountain drink, Mission BBQ offers a wide variety of classic southern favorites, like Cheerwine and RC Cola, in glass bottles.
However, great food and drinks aren’t Mission BBQ’s only claim to fame. They also have some of the friendliest staff and fastest service around. As soon as customers walk through the door, cashiers yell out a greeting and ensure that customers know where to find menus. Once you place your order, it takes mere minutes before they call your name, and your food is ready at the front counter. After you take a seat at one of the tables or booths to start your meal, staff members will come by to offer you napkins or drink refills and may even bring a tray of complimentary fries to your table, as well.
If you’re ever worried about dietary restrictions, simply ask one of the friendly staff members to see a menu of gluten free options. Or, if you have food allergies, visit their website mission-bbq.com/allergy for a comprehensive list for every menu item that could pose a threat for an allergic reaction.
