Mission BBQ

Samantha and Jared are wonderful managers and took good care of my family and I. They hit it out of the park with their sausage and SLICED brisket! 10/10 would recommend.

I can't believe this building used to house Zio's. They did an amazing job remodeling it! My husband had tried this place on his own, when I was out of town, and loved it. He was given a coupon for a free sandwich so we went back to redeem it today. I'm a vegetarian so we were thinking I wouldn't have many choices, but there are several sides and two sizes of salads to choose from so I was totally ok. I ordered an entree size salad and a side of mac and cheese. The cashier misheard me and rung us up for a small side salad (which was not super small, fyi). This was remedied after our food arrived and I realized the size mistake. The staff was very kind and gave me an entree size salad, on top of my smaller salad, to take home. The salad was fresh and the ranch was delicious. The mac and cheese was super creamy! My husband was happy with his brisket sandwich and cheesy scalloped potatoes (he let me try some of the potatoes and they were amazing). We chatted a little bit with one of the workers in the dining room who is originally from Las Vegas - she was super friendly. We had asked about the Black Plate Special and she explained some of the things on the menu, told us about a ceremony they do every day at noon with the pledge of allegiance, and gave us another coupon for a free sandwich. The dining room was kept very clean even though it was decently busy. We will definitely be back and will bring family members for their birthdays.

We were in Tulsa for The Affair Of Hearts and found this. I have eaten at a Mission before in different states. Was hoping this one was just as good since I was taking my daughter's.You order at front so takes a bit if your new.Ordered brisket with cheesy potatoes and beans. All really good. Even the cornbread is so good! Sampled daughter greenbeans and they are not plane Jane. We all shared the Apple cobbler dessert but small so didn't last long.Lol then went and ordered 3 more to take home.We were all so impressed!Daughter loved it, so was searching other locations.We are happy to find out one is coming to OKC area.Can't wait!

Best barbecue you can get with a chain style restaurant. They have done their research and make the meats like the originals. My faves are the brisket and pork. You have to try the bay bbq sauce. Don't forget the folks that work there, always helpful and knowledgeable. I do my best to get to a mission when I get a chance! They do the national anthem at noon too! Patriotic and me being a veteran, make me a huge fan! See you soon mission!

Stopped in at MISSION BBQ in Tulsa, OK. Very cool spot. At exactly 12pm they stopped what they were doing and played the national anthem. Everyone in the restaurant stood up, removed their hats, placed their hands on their hearts and many sang along. I'm a sucker for Old Glory and all things USA. So it got me all in my feels. Oh and the brisket was stellar.

Overall Impression: Gimmicky but the BBQ is good.Mission BBQ has only one mission - to honor and give back to police, fire, first responders, and military. The restaurant is full of heroic and patriotic tributes of US uniformed heroes. Look past these tributes, someone like myself, may find this gimmicky. Other restaurants have done something similar, where they would give 10-15% of earning to their cause. Mission BBQ gives our uniformed heroes very little back, "gift" once a month, and no discounts on food whatsoever. When 99% of the their customers are non-military, police, fire, or first responders, one has to question what are they really giving back, a smidgen not worth mentioning. The ribs and baked beans were excellent though. The ribs had that smoky taste and served in a half to full slab. I would like for them to cut each slab into individual ribs so it would be easier to consume. The baked beans also had a nice smoky taste. Mission BBQ had the most diverse option of BBQ sauces available, 6 to choose from. Only the smoky mountain and Memphis Belle were of my liking. Impressed by the food but disappointed by what they are giving back to our heroes, probably very little. If you are able to look past this facade, Mission BBQ is excellent.

It's not just a lunch but an experience. If you happen to be a hero or just appreciate hero's, you're going to like this place. My husband, who is an inactive Marine, just loves it. The theme is heroes such as military, police, and fireman and it's decorated accordingly. All the staff are ultra friendly and enthusiastic. At 12 noon each day, everyone stands and sings the National Anthem. The kitchen staff even comes out for that. The service was incredible. Our brisket sandwiches were delicious. I liked the sides best. Next time, I'm going to have a lunch with just a variety of sides. The Apple Carmel cobbler was amazing.

Food was mediocre, at best. Not impressed with the atmosphere. Music was too loud, employees constantly shouting at customers from entering the building to order ready for pickup. Portions are small for the inflated ala cart prices. Baked beans tasted dirty & weird. Brisket was just OK, Pulled Pork was a little dry. Overall, the meats weren't bad, just nothing we care to repeat. Sadly, this is a once & done for us.

New Mission BBQ restaurant is FIRED-UP with great customer service and community involvement, but there is no SMOKE!I'll go ahead and let you know, that my standards for BBQ are very high. I grew up in the Houston area & barbecue is a cult down there. The recruitment and indoctrination starts at a young age So I put most BBQ places into two categories:‍ Craft And Quick‍"Craft" barbecue: A barbecue that uses high-quality ingredients and precise techniques to smoke meats and make sides. Craft barbecue places may: - Use Higher Quality Cuts and/or unique cuts of meat- Smoke meats low and slow using woods like oak, hickory, or pecan- Make there own rubs & sauces, while still letting the Protein and Smoke be the main character- Create unique sides & desserts- Use locally sourced ingredientsDownside: Takes longer to produce, limited daily availability, may be sold out of item you wanted. More expensive.Less options for customers to choose from- limited menuExamples of Craft barbecue in the Tulsa area: Oakhart / Nomads / Leon's / Mac's / BurnCo / Clark Crew"Quick" barbecue: A convenience based, mass produced version of the above. All the basics are covered, it gets the job done. A quick barbecue place may:-Use Basic wholesale proteins -Smoke meat off-site and/or done in industrial "ovens"-Use pre-packaged / mass produced sides and desserts-Often be a chain or franchise -Have Extended service - open longer hours -be more convenient to get to -have something on the menu for everyoneDownside:Depths of flavor, obsession of technique, and creativity are generally lowExamples of Quik barbecue in the Tulsa area: Rib Crib / Oklahoma Joes / Billy Sims / Mission BBQNow, Mission BBQ did a great job!The location is big, well lit and clean. Comfortable seating for large groups.Walk-Up and order style, grab a cold bottled drink out of the ice and take a look at all the US Veteran appreciation flags, awards and pictures on the wall.All of the staff was cheerful & busy getting the customers quickly serviced. A young woman floated around the ordering line and seated patrons with a platter of small cups, offering a complimentary taste of their pulled pork.Another server came around and gave a friendly recommendation of which sauce to use on each protein and that her favorite bite was the Alabama White Sauce on the Smoked TurkeyBefore we finished our meal a manager came around to make sure we were happy with our experience. A+ for service, value, and community involvement.Each item we tried was executed well, served at the right temp, and prepared within traditional norms of that dish. No dish was inedible or off-putting. No dish was unique or memorable. The Smoke flavor and bark I prefer on barbecue was nearly absent on most of the proteins.The meats were all tender, and none of them were dry. For a quick service barbecue option, it's a great option in the Tulsa

Was disappointed they were out of brisket!It's a walk up and order then go back to get your food when ready....food was ok but nothing to brag about. I did like all the decor honoring all the vets, and service employees. Will probably go back again
