Our first time here and we will be going back for sure. Very nice place and friendly people. Free dessert for veterans was so nice and Bella was so helpful with telling us about everything they offer. You can bring a picture of your military service to put on wall. Food was excellent everything we got was so good the banana pudding to the collard greens. Everything cooked fresh you can tell too! Manager came to say hi and told us everyday at noon they go outside for national anthem. Please go check it out! A++++
I love Mission BBQ. Arrived at 11:58am, just in time for the daily National Anthem at noon. I absolutely adore this place. The staff is always soooo friendly and helpful. The food is a little pricey but it’s worth it. Everything tastes so fresh. Cheesy potatoes were recommended by the staff today and they didn’t disappoint. The decor is great as well.
Mission always deserves 5 stars in our book! From the time you walk in and the aroma of smoked meat paired with a warm welcome from the staff, you can't help but feel at home. The food is cooked to perfection and full of flavor! If you love Alabama white sauce you should try theirs! The Mac n Cheese is creamy and the green beans taste like your grandma's! Enjoy the pictures of those who have served decorate the walls around you. There always someone walking the dining room cleaning and asking how things are. It's always our pleasure to support Mission BBQ.
The food is top class. The service is excellent. I had a pick up but waited in the Dunning area for a while. Place is clean and neat. And all the pictures of our Armed heroes makes the place special. Good price and one of the few restaurants left where you don’t have to pay service fee, general fee, charity fee and the normal tip. I’ll be back for sure

From the second I walked in my mouth was watering!!! Cheesy potatoes were scrumptious, brisket was sooo tender and mouth watering...would go back to try everything on the menu!! Server was friendly and helped me decide which side to get, extremely friendly and helpful!!
We wanted to try Missions because we heard the BBQ was good. Well the pulled pork was wonderful and the brisket had no fat on it at all very tender. The greens and beans and Mac and Cheese was good also for our sides. Now I wanted to try the potatoes salad and I didn't care for it at all. The staff there was wonderful very kind and if your a vet they were saying you get a free dessert. All over the walls were pictures of Service men flags for pows just a wonderful display for our service people. We did enjoy our visit and will return.

Me and my wife, we visit these places few times before. And always have a good environment and American atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.
First time eating here and slightly disappointed. BabyBack Ribs were a bit over cooked but had a good flavor. Potatoe salad was good. Pulled Pork was good as were the baked beans. Friendly staff and dining area was very clean. Prices were higher than I expected.
Service is top notch! We were welcomed when we walked in. We told the staff it was our first time there and one of the staff members (who seemed like she was in training) took the time to explain the menu to us. Love when employees have menu knowledge! Food was delicious. We had the brisket sandwich with baked beans and the chopped brisket sandwich with mac and cheese. We even enjoyed some bread pudding! Staff also acknowledged us as we left. Decor is also top notch with all their odes to service men and women. Highly recommend!
We had Mission BBQ cater our wedding. Taylor, the catering manager, was so responsive to every question. She always got back to us so fast and was very helpful. Our complimentary tasting was absolutely wonderful! They let us try all of the different meats and sides and even sent us home with some. The staff that worked our wedding was fabulous! They were so nice and set the buffet up beautifully! At the end, they packed up all the leftovers for us. There was so much food and I was not sad that we had some to take home. It was all so good!
Brought in a party of 12 for an adult birthday. Carson was the floor attendant at the time. Made us feel so welcome! Checked with us often to see if anything was needed. Brought our birthday girl a very full complimentary dessert tray at the end of our meal! Restaurant manager made rounds also checking on our food and needs. Such great service for our large party. Thanks Mission BBQ! 10/13/23
I absolutely love this place. Great atmosphere. Great food (my ribs were literally melt in your mouth tender). Awesome staff that's friendly and genuinely care about giving good service. Being a veteran, I love going to veteran owned businesses, not only because it supports their business, but also because you can tell a difference from other places when you're at a veteran owned establishment. The main difference being that they actually give a damn about having you as a customer. They make you feel right at home. The restaurant is immaculate, as is the open kitchen. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation.
Among BBQ chain restaurants, my wife and I enjoy Mission BBQ the most! The place has a good selection of smoked meats, various sauces, tasty sides, average counter service, and an atmosphere that pays tribute to the military, police, fire fighters, and other first responders.
I almost always get the pulled chicken, while my better half gets the ribs, and side orders of mac-n-cheese, green beans, and cole slaw are the norm for us.
A meal at Mission BBQ is not complete without enjoying their sweet, warm, cornbread.
So, if your out and about, and you're hankering for some yummy BBQ, you will never go wrong by stopping at Mission BBQ and enjoying a bite to eat.
Had lunch here Tuesday with the family and had a great time. The manager Joe was hilarious and very friendly. He made lunch fun. He interacted with us and made us feel comfortable. The young lady at the register was very sweet. The young lady in the lobby was also very sweet. But Joe is a definite keeper
I had an exceptional dinner at Mission BBQ in Lakeland, FL tonight. The food was delicious, but what truly elevated the experience was the outstanding service from Carson. His genuine care for both the food and customer satisfaction was evident throughout the evening. Carson’s enthusiasm and dedication showcased Mission BBQ’s commitment to exceptional service. It’s clear that Mission BBQ is fortunate to have someone like Carson on their team. He not only ensured our meal was delightful but also shared that he genuinely enjoys working at Mission BBQ, adding a personal touch to the overall experience. Highly recommended for both the food and exceptional service. My two boys and I will be back real soon!

The service was exceptional! I am allergic to wheat, soy, and corn, among other things. They opened up the book and went down the list if foods and sauces that would work for me. Becky I think and a new guy, went over and beyond to ensure I was able to enjoy my time and diner here. Amazing experience!
This place is pretty good! It's clean. The food is good. The atmosphere is great. My only gripe is some of the sides seem come in small portions, but nothing lacks flavor. My family eats there whenever we can.
If your craving BBQ. you cant go wrong at Missions BBQ on Sth Florida ave. Lakeland. great atmosphere and the best service. stop by Missions. It's is a little pricier than a regular lunch options but worth every cen as food is always high quality, hot, fast, and the team is up beat and friendly. ive been to a few similar places in town and always seem to prefer Missions for their food but specially for their survice. All where grat staff but a special mention to Gabriela Pinero for her service today. People like her keep customers coming back.
