About MISSION BBQ:
MISSION BBQ opened its doors for business on September 11, 2011, 10 years after the world

than the brave men and women who have sworn to protect and serve Our Communities and Our
Country. We do what we do for the love of our soldiers, firefighters, police officers, and first
responders—all our loved ones in service. We set across this great land from Texas to Kansas
City, the Carolinas to St. Louis…to discover the secrets of great BBQ. Every day we strive to
serve you authentic BBQ made from the freshest, most delectable ingredients, and serve it to you
in a patriotic dining room filled with tributes to those who’ve made Our Country great, given to
us by the people who earned them. Stop by at 12 noon as we sing Our National Anthem.
Everyday.
