MISSION BBQ

This place is amazing. Absolutely loved their BBQ chicken with the Alabama White Sauce! Wish I had one closer to where I live now.

6/10 on the pulled pork quality, 3/10 on the vinegar based NC sauce. There should be next to no oil in a true eastern style sauce and it really detracts from the good pork flavor. Almost no zing saddens me even further. Overall a good place for some sweet BBQ, but not at all representative of true Carolina BBQ.

Let me start by saying a ton of my friends and co-workers love this place, I'm just the odd one out that doesn't. The meats are cooked well enough but might as well have been thrown in a crock pot, you won't taste any smoke on them, and I think they rely mostly on the gas heat from their Old Hickories. The sauce tend towards the sweet side and a lot of them have an odd artificial flavor that I think either comes from a heavy hand with the liquid smoke or an artificial sweetener. Either way none of it's particularly bad per se, just nothing there that I've ever felt the urge to go back and try again, and for the money I'd rather go somewhere else.

Cozy seating and the food is OK. The women's restroom was super clean. They need to warn customers that the baked sweet potato is smothered in sugar. Ideally they'd offer the option to order it without. A simple, "Do you want that smothered in sugar?" would suffice.

Very delicious food and great customer service. Work near the restaurant and I try to eat as often as possible. Fast service too!
