Any of you ever eat at Mission BBQ?

[Eel O'Brian]

They play the fucking Star-Spangled Banner every day at noon

We were standing in line to pay and all of a sudden this voice comes over the sound system "Please rise!" Everyone stops what they're doing and stands there with their hats in hand and hand over heart

I was all 

food's good, but expensive as fuck and any sides are extra

that sounds funny as fuck. At least they dont ask you to recite the pledge of allegiance.

It's okay for a change from all the NC-style BBQ joints around, but I won't be going back very much. I got a pulled pork sandwich and side, she got the brisket and side, and that shit was $20 without drinks.

Dude, there's military and firefighter shit all over that place. They donate a small (from what I read, not enough to brag about and borderline scammy) percentage of their profits to Wounded Warrior, and they've leveraged that as a business tactic to sling smoked meat. It's kind of offensive when you see it in person.

I'd go though. I've never been to a BBQ restaurant and I've been fiending to. There's a local one a few miles from my place, I'll have to check it out

My neighbor said invited me to a bbq cookout at his house next month, I'm definitely going to go.

Be black and have no experience with barbecue, brehs

[Phoenix Dark]

come on brehs. I go to family and friend BBQ events in the summer, I haven't really thought about going to a restaurant until this year.

Esch, if this fool really does come to your town at some point, you gotta fix his food ignorance.

Make a GAF thread about whether this is more offensive or less than Chick-fil-a people saying "My pleasure." Get 20 pages.

i found the pricing more offensive, tbh

$20 for a pork sandwich, hunk of brisket, little cups of baked beans and macaroni & cheese, smh

for that same $20 we could have gotten a tailgate special at smithfield bbq with fried chicken, bbq, sides, and hushpuppies

as for the star-spangled banner thing, customer base seemed around 50/50 tobykeithers and wtfers

i mean, god bless the usa and all, but how about just put a change jar by the register

[Brehvolution]

$20 is a live and learn experience. That's the American way.

Never coming back though.
