MISSION BBQ — Springfield

This Springfield outpost sits on Baltimore Pike, part of a chain built on the idea that slow-smoked meat and respect for service go hand in hand. The founders started with a simple premise: barbecue done properly, served to a community that values both.

Open daily — eleven to nine most days, half-eleven to eight on Sundays — with a menu that covers the expected ground. No flourishes, just the work of a pit and the people who tend it.
