Barbecue in Ellicott City

MISSION BBQ

Ellicott City, United States

The brand runs on a simple premise: barbecue served quickly, without ceremony. Two friends started it more than a decade ago; the model has since spread to dozens of locations, each keeping to the same straightforward approach. The Ellicott City outpost opens at eleven most days, half an hour later on Sundays, and runs until evening. It's fast-casual — order, collect, eat — and the menu holds to what the brand does everywhere else. No flourishes, just the fundamentals done at pace.
