Ok. I am not even kidding. I am a barbque snob being from the Deep South. Passing through Dover looking for some place to eat. Decided on Mission as I was driving by. This place was off the chart. The ambiance was outstanding. The workers were super friendly. The food (I had a chopped pork sandwich with Cole slaw and ordered baby back ribs just to try them. Wow. This barbque was better than most places I have visited in the south. Great quality, portions and sauces. I see there are quite a few of them so I can't speak for them. Wish they had beer and believe it or not they don't take tips. When I tried the lady said why should you pay us to be nice to you. Wow. read more

Everything could improve from the over done meat to the disgusting sides. Probably another reason to avoid a mistake walking through the front door of this gastroenterologist nightmare oh well come in a car but end up in distress read more

I was surprised by the complex flavor of Green collard and love "bold" sauce. Our group were trying each other's food. The brisket is juicy and tender. And the Carmel bread pudding is something to die for. BTY, the waitress is nice and friendly. Can't wait to visit next time and I for sure trying out new items. read more

Excellent food, nice selection, reasonable prices, and great service ! The ribs, Mac&cheese, Cole-slaw, and corn bread were all excellent. read more

We had a great experience at Mission BBQ....the food is always good but on this visit it was the service that was over the top!!! We were traveling through Dover and met my nephew who is in the Air Force and met us for lunch. They were so friendly especially Jamie and Renee who came over and gave us some cobbler and made us and my nephew feel special for his service. What a great time and can't wait to go back and visit them again!!! read more

Best BBQ in town. Always mix and match the sauces, and if they have banana pudding. 100% recommend

The flag out front of the mission BBQ in Dover needs to be changed. It's tattered and only holding on by one ring. Other than that, love the food and the vibes! read more

I'm not sure what I was expecting but I wasn't really impressed. I got the 2 meat sampler with brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was ok but the pulled pork wasn't pulled or even shredded, it was the consistency of saw dust and almost as dry. It had ok flavor but not strands of anything, just almost liked crumbled bacon bits but no where near as flavorful. Baked beans were overly sweet but not with brown sugar but rather a bad ketchup flavor. My kid had a bottled soda ($4!!!) and a brisket sandwich that was about 50% sauce. Sadly, my wife had the best entree of the evening, salmon! She asked for Italian dressing but was given ranch instead. Not a deal breaker but not one person walked away thinking their meal was great. The people working there seemed very nice and attentive, the place was clean, and the tables were all wiped down and well stocked with sauce but the food wasn't something I would go out of my way for. I don't think I am really missing much if I don't come back again. Dropped $58 and had to stop for a Chipwich from Wawa to at least make the outing end on a good note. read more

The pulled pork was delicious as were the fries. My husband liked the ribs but $13 for 5 ribs is ridiculous. The menu is a bit too pricey for what you get. read more

Where to start? I am in the area only for a night and was looking for a good place to eat. I stumbled across this restaurant and it looked appealing so I came. What initially drew me to. It was the fact that it was military focused, which I appreciate as our service members give so much of their time and their lives to our country that I like businesses that realize this. Plus I like all kinds of BBQ. So I walked here (it's cold outside btw) and was immediately greeted by a warm, friendly environment. The staff was not rushed even though they were busy. Each one took the time to talk with me, answer questions, give recommendations, and they all thanked me for my military service. The food was wonderful, and their homemade sauces just hit a home run. I had the pulled pork sandwich North Carolina style (coleslaw on top) and used their Tupelo Honey Heat sauce. It sweet and hot and was so good, I am buying a bottle to travel with. I got the baked beans which were smokey and sweet, and their Mac and cheese. I also have a peach cobbler to eat in a few hours as soon as room is available in my tummy. Even their Dr. Pepper was good, not watered down like many places these days. I am glad to find out that this is a privately owned company and they have many locations. I highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and the staff. read more

It was so nice to stop in for a great meal and recognize the service of Americans in uniforms without taking political sides. The food was excellent, the service was above average, and the space was clean and comfortable. We will certainly be back soon! read more

Amazing BBQ for Dover, DE! Was recommended by a friend in New York but completely unexpected and awesome how good it was!!!

Very delicious meat, but also too oily. The brisket was delicious, but it was so oily I was full all the way through to the next day. I guess it is very fiscally responsible to eat here and be full next 24 hours and not eat anything else, but seriously, it can't be good for my heart. Mac & cheese - delicious brisket - very delicious and soft Potato salad and fries were all good. All in all, food here is great. if you search the best food place in Dover, this place keeps popping up, that is why I tried this place. But the amount of oil that was floating in the bottom of my container was alarming. It was so much it could cook several days worth of stir fry dinner. I would still recommend trying this place cause it tastes good, but for your overall health, also recommend trying it just once. read more

We've enjoyed having lunch here 2 times in a few months. I hardly ever give a review but after today's experience, I just had to share our experience. We've traveled across America 13 times and have stopped to eat at many restaurants but we feel the team at Mission BBQ is outstanding. The food is great too but the people who work here are incredible. We can't say enough about their positive upbeat service. They keep everything clean and are always there to provide whatever you may need to make your meal pleasant. We'll be looking for other Mission BBQs on our next trip across the country. read more

I ate here in January while visiting my dad who was in the nearby hospital. The food was amazing. Every bit of it was on point and really hit the spot. The manager was kind enough to let me have some blueberry pie on the house. That was also epic. A great experience, wonderful staff and terrific food. I just watched a Youtube video about BBQ and it made me think of this place and how I enjoyed my experience there. So, thought I'd do the right thing and support their business by leaving a great review. read more

I go to Mission every chance I get. Great BBQ. Awesomely well done sides, and the seasonal sides rock! Never had a bad meal at Mission!

Food is tasty, I suggest the bbq pulled chicken, and the Mac & cheese! Ambiance is very patriotic, good for a quick bite if you have a veteran or military family member/friend. Service is timely, and attention to detail is there. read more

Mission BBQ, has the best BBQ and Customer Service..... Associates always ready to help & Assist. They add their own pizazz to the food and the food is always fresh, never tastes frozen. The size of their hamburgers is real; it's not a salted patty. Inside, you'll find lots of seating and interesting things to look at. If you haven't tried it, you definitely should check it out. Customer service & good food, the way it should be. FYI.....They also cater to Military & First Responders read more

Not my 1st visit to Mission BBQ bit my 1st to this location. I ordered half moist and 1/2 lean. The lean was very dry s d the moist piece was all fat and the second piece was the end of the cap and was dry and tough. read more

Well it's me again with another review, this time it's Mission BBQ turn. So my wife and i went to Mission BBQ on the recommendation of our son, so we went to check it out. We was very impressed with the decor when we walked in, it bought back memories when i was served in the Army. The service is fast and courteous, and when we got our food and tasted it sheer delight. The ribs and chicken was delicious and the choices of BBQ sauce was excellent especially the Texas Twang. We will be back to Mission BBQ. Now the scores....

Always amazing. Great service and they give to servicemen and women. Food is great and birthdays always come with a sweet treat

The brisket is to die for....and the Mac and cheese and the green beans and the sweet tea....

PLEASE support this business. I hit this place my chance on a trip back from OBX and made sure to come back the next year. I have never seen a fast casual operation run so crisply with such motivated employees. It deserves praise just for the way it's run but, the honoring of military and first responders is a huge plus. Food is excellent. Moist meats, great sauce. Please come to Hoboken/Jersey City. read more

Great food, great service, great ambience!! Highly recommend!!! Staff came by and checked on us. Be careful, it's easy to order too much!! read more

There were nice things about this restaurant. The employees were very nice and helpful. It's nice that it honors the military, especially being so close to Dover Air Force Base. However, not knowing that it was a place where you place your order at the counter, get your own drink, and then find a table, we met family there, and were looking forward to sitting down at a table with wait service. The food was good, but not great. For the money, it was a decent meal. However, the quality of the food did not inspire us to make a 45-minute return trip. read more

One of my favorite foods is Texas brisket in a mop sauce. From the moment I walk into a barbeque restaurant I want to smell the smoky wood and allow my appetite to go into overdrive. High hopes when the boyfriend said were eating at "Mission BBQ". As soon as we walked into Mission BBQ there was no smoky wood aroma . Let down. I ordered the "Texas inspired" Oak smoked brisket sandwich with a side of green beans and bacon. This brisket was dry, stringy, and tough. The sauces on the table were pretty beat and nothing tasted like "mop sauce". Good barbeque never really needs sauce. But you will need the sauce in order to get the meat down your throat because its that dry. The green beans and bacon side item was tasty. My boyfriend got the pulled pork sandwich and mac n cheese. He enjoyed his pork sandwich . We both agreed the mac n cheese was not super flavorful or cheesy. Super letdown with Mission BBQ. In Bridgeville, DE, go ahead I dare you to try Fat Daddys brisket! Because that's my kind of brisket. read more

The food was so delicious. The brisket was tender and juicy. The variety of bbq sauces on the table was excellent. Service was great too. It was our first time at mission bbq and I guess the sever could tell. Even though it was a self serve restaurant, she kept coming over to see if we needed more sauces or anything. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Enjoy visiting. Really need memories here. Visiting with my children and grandchildren. Very patriotic.
