Our Mission
After traveling our great country in search of the nation’s best BBQ, we felt inspired to bring this great food home. Especially for those who protect us all, the hard-workers who get it done every day, the home teams we cheer for, and of course, family and friends. Our mission is to serve you the most authentic, mouth-watering all-American food that’s done right.
Giving Back
Our young men and women in uniform. Veterans who served with honor. Our local Police, Firefighters and First Responders who make Our Community a better place to live. They’re the people we respect most of all, so MISSION BBQ tries to give back in return. From fundraisers to service projects, we have your back, donating over $25,000,000 supporting vital charities since opening our doors in 2011.
A Servant's Heart
Ray was working as a Commodities Trader at 4 World Trade Center in 2001 and was heading into work on the morning of 9/11. He was in the city when the towers fell and lost friends and colleagues. Like all Americans, the day left him feeling changed. “I think people don’t understand the immensity of how that changed everything. Before 9/11 there were so many things that people took for granted,” Ray said. Today, he feels passionately about giving back to first responders and he has found that he can do that at MISSION BBQ.
Stories of Service
In his early 20s, Amir Edwards embarked on a career in law enforcement following the death of a young cousin due to gun violence. He hadn’t considered becoming a police officer but losing his cousin made him see law enforcement as a way to have a positive impact on his community. A few years into his career, Amir was faced with a life or death decision on the job and found himself at a crossroads. After that life changing event, Amir felt that he could have fallen into anger and pessimism. Instead he made a conscious decision to push forward into working to improve his community.
