MISSION BBQ — Bel Air

The Bel Air outpost opens at eleven most days and runs until nine, closing a half-hour earlier on Sundays. It shuts for eight major holidays and goes dark early six days a year — the schedule is posted, and it doesn't bend.

The menu is what MISSION BBQ does everywhere: brisket, ribs, pulled pork, the standards done without fuss. No surprises, no invention — just barbecue from a business that knows what it set out to be and hasn't wandered since.
