Mission BBQ got its start Sept. 11, 2011 with two friends, Bill and Newt from Maryland. Their business is built on love of country, the U.S. military, firefighters, police officers and all first responders. Mission BBQ is "proudly serving those who served."

“There’s nothing American then barbecue," said Kevin Cross from Mission BBQ. "Everything that we do is community oriented. So the pictures that you see on the walls as time goes on, it’s these walls that grow into a book of our community.”
