Mission BBQ

[Radiant1]

The ribs at Leonardtown Grille are great, and the ones I had at Retriever's last week were better than L'Town Grille.

I love both places! I'm not a big rib fan so haven't tried those; however, both have a ribeye steak that makes me drool!

We are at Retrievers right now.

Good food and good people. It's nice to walk into a place where they actually remember your name and are genuinely happy to see you.

Like the southern vinegar BBQ. What the hell is that all about?

I prefer Molasses based BBQ

Who freakin' cares if they donate to charitable organizations as a publicity stunt?

As far as I know, they've never claimed to be a Saint, nor were they recommended for Sainthood. They are a business, in the business of making money in exchange for a product.

I have no problem with them using their generosity to promote their business.

Oh, the irony.

I look for the chinese restaurant that has cats hanging around the dumpster. Then I know the food is fresh, not frozen.

I wish we had the ability to look in the kitchen prior to ordering.. when I order shrimp I really expect a RESTAURANT to have shrimp on hand and they bread them there.. not take frozen shrimp and reheat them. I can do that at home. What makes a restaurant a restaurant ? Cooking frozen pre-prepard food that is being delivered to every other restaurant isn't it

Now I need to try this place, if only to see if its worth all the bickering

Bickering. Best word ever.

Mission gets a thumbs up from Mine and myself.

Ribs, brisket, various sides and sauces tried and liked.

We will definitely go back when the mood strikes.

They changed their name to golden city. We used to get delivery from them.

I assume you mean thawed, cooked, breaded, then frozen, as opposed to thawed, breaded and cooked in the restaurant.


Every shrimp you get, whether in the store or restaurant, has been cleaned and frozen right on the boat, unless you live on the Gulf coast, you might get some fresh off the boat, but not here.

When I worked in a grocery store meat and seafood section we would put out the small $4.99/lb shrimp frozen but the more expensive stuff we would let thaw in the refrigerated cooler and people actually thought it was fresh. They also paid $8.99 a lb for crab spread made with imitation crab meat.

Killer nachos.

Those and the French Dip.

If it tastes good :shrug:

Pretty much my thought, except people paid more thinking it was fresh.

You people need hobbies.

We tried Mission today, I thought it was pretty good. Not the best BBQ I've ever had, but it was good enough to warrant some future visits, plus the staff was friendly, good service, and the restaurant was clean.



Plus - they had Natty Boh. [/thread]
