MISSION BBQ – American
South Florida Avenue, Lakeland, and the smokers start long before the doors do. MISSION BBQ serves Texas-inspired oak-smoked brisket, hand-pulled pork, pulled chicken and sausage by the entree or the sampler, with baby back ribs and half a smoked yard bird for the hungry. Scratch sides - baked beans with brisket, cold slaw, fresh-cut fries - and cornbread with every plate. The room is a tribute to service members and first responders, opened on the anniversary of September 11th. Honest smoke, loud pride.
