Mission St. BBQ - (Near Santa Cruz, CA)

5 /5 BHF: Casual counter service restaurant. The large sandwiches have 9 oz. meat and are $20.50 but enough for 2 to share, with sides. The special smoke turkey sandwich was delicious, served on a soft focaccia like bread.

5 /5 Joseph Geiger-Gaither: So fortunate to find this BBQ spot on a short stop in Santa Cruz. The brisket was tender and flavorful (with or without the sauce), and the ribs were smoked to perfection. The hogwash was interesting, more of a malt vinegar sub, probably better on fries than meat. Overall well definitely return next time were in town.

3 /5 Clint Chapel: The person that took my order was very nice and polite. I sat down and another person brought out my food. I ordered brisket, they brought me tri tip. They quickly corrected it. The brisket was very dry. The beans and coleslaw were good, and the spicy sauce is actually very spicy. The pickleg onions were very good.

5 /5 Anne G: The food is super yummy. My kids loved it. It has lot of options on the menu. I loved all the food we tried. We ate twice there during the same weekend. The burnt ends and brisket are the best.

4 /5 U2uben: I ordered the 2 meat meal of ribs and brisket. I got there 30 minutes before closing so my fault the ribs had dried up. The brisket was also on the drier side. The reg bbq sauce made it good. Serving size was good and I loved the mac and cheese. I mixed up all the coleslaw dish and it was fine. How about serve one slice of garlic bread and one corn bread for both? The band was fun and just playing their last song. The sweeping and chair slapping cleaning up process was loud and annoying. It could’ve waited till after closing or done more quietly. The soda machine was turned off for refills. Your late dinner time customers deserve no less of a dine in experience than a lunch or early dinner customer. Not sure about trying again…
