Pulled pork is my favorite and the Mac and cheese! Cole slaw, the sauces! Well worth every penny! Always great service. They even do curbside pickup! I used Grubhub but I would rather pickup. The delivery fees are ridiculous. But this restaurant is very good...Read More

Massive improvement, the 3 meat platter : Pulled chicken and pork perfectly cooked, not dry and moist enough. Same for the Brisket. As always, good bbq sauces variety!

Our first visit to the Herndon Mission BBQ won’t be our last! We loved our delicious lunch, the very friendly and helpful staff, and the interesting decor. Take a few minutes to look at the military and first responder memorabilia on display.
