"It's hard not to love Mission BBQ when the staff pour their hearts into making sure you have a great time here! My friends and I couldn't leave Virginia without having some great BBQ. We were so excited to try Mission and felt great supporting a business that gives back to service members. Their decorations honor the memories of those who have served. Staff are very invested in ensuring you have a great time. I wanted to try their special Hawaiian steak but when I asked to have it medium rare, the cashier told me, it's seared for a little longer to give it that char to compliment its flavor. He offered to cook it medium rare for me anyway, but I deferred since I wanted to go with the chef's suggestion. My giant 12 oz steak platter came with cole slaw and a hefty hunk of corn bread. It was definitely more than I could handle. The steak had that great charred BBQ flavor and sweet/savory Hawaiian marinade on the outer edges, but the middle was a little dry for my liking. I still found myself enjoying the juicyness and fatty edges, but found myself reaching for one of the varieties of BBQ sauces when it came to the middle. Speaking of the sauces, they are so generous with allowing you to use as much sauce as you please! There are so six different varieties that you can grab and bring back to your table. We had a lot of fun sampling then. While my steak was good, the brisket was absolute perfection. I don't even like brisket that much, but this brisket was so tender, fatty, and just melted in your mouth. Words escape me as I try to describe how luxurious the brisket tasted, the juicy strips just seem to almost dissolve in y our mouth. Long story short, the brisket is a must try and you can't go wrong with a platter so you can pair the meat with some buttery corn bread and cole slaw. Mission definitely fulfills its mission of serving hearty BBQ with love."
