"Every day at 12:00 p.m. sharp, service stops for two whole minutes while customers and employees alike rise for the National Anthem. A narrator will interrupt the background music, asking guests to join in standing for the song, among signs placed around the restaurant alerting patrons to the daily tradition."
"Mission BBQ was founded by two friends and former executives, Bill Kraus and Steve Newton, with a dream of creating a restaurant known not only for its top-tier barbecue, but also for its patriotic spirit and actionable purpose."
"The chain not only prioritizes hiring veterans and former first responders, but also gives back in more ways than one by actively engaging in organizations such as the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, Wreaths Across America, Honor Flight Network, Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and many others."
Mission BBQ features American flags and tributes to military members and first responders throughout its locations. At noon daily, customers and staff stand for the National Anthem. Founded by Bill Kraus and Steve Newton, the restaurant emphasizes patriotism and community support. It prioritizes hiring veterans and contributes to various charitable organizations, donating over $47 million to date. The restaurant aims to combine exceptional barbecue with a commitment to honoring those who serve the country.
