This Valentine’s Day, skip the fuss and enjoy a hearty BBQ meal made to share. Our Meat Lovers Meal for Two is made for couples who know the best moments are shared over great food and a little smoke in the air.

You’ll get 2 side salads, a shareable BBQ spread with your choice of 3 meats, 2 sides and 2 slices of bread, and a dessert to split.

OR, planning to feed the whole family?

Tri-Tip Chili – Winter Special

Our Tri-Tip Chili is packed with tender, smoky tri-tip and topped off with crunchy corn chips, sharp cheddar, and fresh green onions. Served up with a side of golden cornbread to complete the perfect fall meal. No beans here, just hearty, bold flavors that let the chili do all the talking. This is how chili is meant to be done.

Available for a limited time – don’t miss out!

Mission Street BBQ is the best smoked BBQ in Santa Cruz County. No doubt nothing can compete..brisket is so tender, so juicy..The mac & cheese and the beans are to die for.. they really know how to do it.

Just look at the BBQ smokers in the parking lot...take in the unmistakable aroma of slowly cooked meat. This place is legit!

Mission St. BBQ puts every single place I've eaten at in my 55 years to shame. We got the Brisket, Pulled pork, & hot links & every single bite was a transcendent experience.

We regularly drive 45 minutes to Santa Cruz to get take out here despite there being plenty of BBQ locally..Best potato salad I have ever had

This place has some of the best brisket I've ever had. The chicken is also great! I'm also a sucker for good garlic bread & this place delivers!
