MISSION BBQ — Gurnee
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Two friends passionate about barbecue started MISSION BBQ in 2011; this Gurnee outpost runs the same fast-casual playbook on Grand Avenue.
MISSION BBQ is a multi-location operation built around counter service and a straightforward menu. The Gurnee branch sits at 6430 Grand Avenue, open daily—11 to 9 most days, closing an hour earlier on Sundays.
It's fast-casual barbecue: order at the counter, collect your tray, move on. No table service, no lingering. The format is the point—get in, get fed, get out.
