Mission Bbq

I came here with low expectations. I'm very particular about BBQ and figured it'd be like other bbq places with dry brisket and fries that were overly salty and bland. Mission was not that. The brisket is like butter. The fries are seasoned perfectly without any need for ketchup. The service is friendly and personable. The prices are very reasonable as well. For years we bypassed Mission in order to go to other restaurants nearby and I feel stupid for doing so. When in Gainesville, Mission is now my number one place for food.

I love mission bbq. They provide friendly staff, fast service and great bbq. If you like hot sauce try Nashville hot. I like to take the memphis bell sauce and mix it with Nashville hot half in half in the little black sauce cups, it makes for a nice hot sweet taste and it knocks the edge off the hotness.

I don't normally like BBQ but it was two against one (I wanted steak), so I gave it a try. The food here was great, but the sauces are out of this world! I wanted to take all the sauces home to dip everything in my house into them!!! I had a double meat platter, pulled chicken and the lean brisket. The lean brisket was tender and paired very well with the Texas style sauce, (it was like steak and A1, which was what I wanted) so good! The chicken was best with the sweeter spicier sauces, I can't remember the names. I wish I had taken pictures, even the spicy sauce up by the soda machine was awesome. The slaw was good, but the fries were just a little over cooked for my liking, not complaining though, I just like my fries really soft, and the ones that were soft were great. The cornbread is amazing! I would love the recipe and step by step instructions, please!! It is so crumbly and soft and has the best flavor! My husband and his brother really liked the mac and cheese and the pulled pork. We are heading down this way again for another concert, and we will definitely be here again to sample more meat and sauce combinations and to try the rest of the sides!
