"Wonderful breakfast during lunch hour. Had the Biscuits and Gravy, one way to see how good a breakfast kitchen is. Lots of food when ordering 2 biscuits, and quite inexpensive. Could definitely taste the pork grease in the gravy. Looking forward to trying some of those delicious looking pancakes...Next time for sure.Didn't even know this jewel existed until I searched the Cortez/41 intersection, where I was at the time. 5 Stars Solid."

"I visited the restaurant with some friends, and it was our first time there. The staff greeted us warmly and were very knowledgeable about the menu. For appetizers, we shared fresh shrimp spring rolls and fried spring rolls, both of which we found delicious, especially with the peanut dipping sauce. I ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp at medium spice, and it was fantastic. Everyone in our group tried each other’s dishes, and we enjoyed them all. My friends opted for different meals at mild spice, but they weren’t particularly impressed and thought their dishes were a bit on the sweet side. I tasted their meals and appreciated the flavors. The staff offered additional spicy condiments, which I think helped my friends enjoy their meals more. I believe next time they’ll opt for a spicier level, which will definitely enhance their experience. I would absolutely return to this restaurant."

"My husband ordered a pizza, and as it was cooking, we found ourselves laughing at the smell of something burning, quickly assuming it was the pizza. In the end, it turned out to be very crispy, and it looked good. The bread served came with butter pats, which felt quite casual to us. We typically expect hot, fresh bread with either garlic butter or dipping oils, rather than cold pats of butter. We also ordered cannoli to take home for later. The prices were very reasonable. However, we were somewhat puzzled by the MTV tank top worn by the bartender/waitress; it felt a bit too casual for such a cozy restaurant."

"I?m from Kentucky and live in Texas? I?d like to think I know BBQ pretty well. I tried the meat sampler and the brisket (lean) was phenomenal? I also had the chicken and pulled pork. To be honest most places do pulled pork and chicken/turkey above averageand Mission was no different. I would have to say more than anything here was the patriotism and generous customer service. Wecame in with a crew of 12 (half of which were young kids) and Eric (I think his name was) offered to take our order at the tableso we could just try and get everyone settled in. Throughout our meal he came to check on us occasionally and even gifted me afull BBQ sauce (KC sauce) of my favorite? just because. Loved the decor and the spirit of this place. I?ve had many familymembers who have served and this place was a great way to honor our brave men and women who serve. NOTE: there is a patio areato eat outside as well. Food was great? service was above and beyond."
