I absolutely loved the cobbler and 2 lbs of brisket fed 4 people and all of them were so full and if you order the heat at home Berry Cobbler they will fully freeze the ice cream so it stays frozen the whole way! The brisket was comparable to heaven and it was so tender and fatty but the non fat part was very lean but atill very flavorful, the flavor is balanced throughout the entire slice, the mac and cheese was so creamy and stayed warm through the whole car ride the coleslaw was a perfect balance of flavor and crunch. 11/10 stars would recommend

Wish I could give a better review. We normally love Mission St BBQ but tonight was a miss. The brisket was cut super thick with a ton of fat, and a very small portion compared to what you would get in person. Definitely not worth $23. The kid's meal was horribly burnt and I had to cut around a ton of char just to get to edible meat for them. The restaurant also gave us a potato salad side instead of mac and cheese, which was very clearly on the receipt. Please do better with to-go meals!

I've been ordering from this place for years and my past three orders for breakfast sandwiches for our crew have all been very shorted on brisket and instead made up with a lot of egg making it a bit overwhelming. Also, this time each sandwich was packaged very messy with egg and sauce literally coming through the package.

I will definitely be ordering from this place again. I had the brisket sandwich, which was very tasty and very tender. And I had the side salad which I found to be a cut above. You get lettuce, tomato, onions, cucumber, and yellow peppers. Very nice. Some places, a side salad consists of just lettuce. So much appreciated. And the Andes mint is a nice touch.

Portions are very small for the price.
Ordered a brisket sandwich - tasted good but was only half a sandwich, but cost $18.
The side orders were tiny too. Beans, Mac and Cheese - $4 each - but we're 5 maybe 6 bites?
Ribs were good.
