Mission bbq is the best bbq in this area. Mission bbq is a chain but do not let that scare you away! We dined in again for dinner tonight. We split a turkey xxl combo with fries, coleslaw and it comes with cornbread. We also brought in our refillable honors flight cups for sweet tea. The turkey was moist and delicious. The refills are .99. The coleslaw was creamy and crispy good. The fries were tasty and fresh! The cornbread was really soft and moist! The sweet tea was good. This restaurant is consistently providing good food, good prices, and good service! Triple good experiences! We love this restaurant.

Oh my goodness! How did not know this was here??? The food and service are both Great! Went for a birthday celebration. We tried the brisket, pork, chicken, ribs and the special smoked rib eye. Everything was so good. And who needs birthday cake when you can have Peggy's Peach Cobbler? So GOOD!

What an awesome experience here at Mission BBQ!!! I was greater at the door just before noon by Elizabeth and was just in time for the National anthem. As a veteran I thought this was really cool! I felt so welcome from the moment I stepped into the door and couldn't have been more appreciated by the staff. Elizabeth and Angie went above and beyond the call of duty to make me feel comfortable and respected as a customer. I'm so pleased with this experience and will recommend this location to my friends looking for great BBQ and awesome customer service! Way to go Mission!

We went again yesterday for lunch after a day out over Christmas break. I have been here several times, but I guess I have never been here at exactly noon. It was quite impressive, everyone, including all of the staff and everyone in the dining area-- stops whatever they are doing at noon. There's an announcement that they will take a moment to honor our country by the singing of the National Anthem. So, kudos to Mission BBQ for continuing to serve-up tasty BBQ and to unapologetically honor America and the service personnel who have fought for that enduring honor and freedom.

Great bbq place ribs were fall of the bone amazing choice of bbq sauces, the fries were fresh off the broiler and the atmosphere fits the title the host was super friendly and helpful all around a great choice for great bbq, will look forward to visiting again

This is an order at the counter & wait for your name to be called. I loved the brisket - soft and flavorful. The pulled chicken was OK but the BBQ sauces helped a lot. The ribs were good but not a lot of meat. Overall, the sauces and brisket are the way to go here.

Gluten-free options with very knowledgeable staff both upfront and in back. Clearly communicated GF need to ensure proper preparation. Manager shared all the side options when hearing us ask. Above and beyond in service!! Fries are gf and are the only items fried hence no cross-contamination. Brisket had a nice ring, sausage with cheese and jalapeño was good but pulled pork was the winner! 11 of 12 sauces are GF. Good selections including a vinegar on the table. Appreciate the tribute to those that serve/d; responders and military. Clean dining room with routine checks by staff to ensure satisfaction. We will be back when in town!!

I've been to the Naperville location before and was excited to see one in Peoria. I convinced my dad to come and try it out because I knew he loved bbq. He tried the ribs and loved them and liked trying the different sauces available at the table. I got the pulled chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese. Both were great. Service was excellent and my dad enjoyed the decor.

Great meal reasonably priced. Great sides and good cornbread. My first time but wont be the ladt Good service too. Tasty bbq sauce.
