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.

Mission BBQ: brisket was indeed delicious
Bella J.

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.

For such a simple order during a non-busy time, the wait was extremely disappointing. The restaurant itself also did not leave a good impression. There was an unpleasant smell throughout the place, and overall it just felt unclean and poorly maintained. It made it hard to relax or enjoy the meal. I will say the waitress was the one positive part of the experience. She was friendly, attentive, and did her best to check on us throughout the meal, so I appreciate her effort despite everything else going wrong. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were not good at all. Even the water tasted off, which immediately raised concerns. The miso soup also had a strange taste that seemed wrong from the first bite. We ordered the Ribeye Roll and Crunch Roll, and both were extremely disappointing. The quality and taste honestly had me crossing my fingers hoping I wouldn't end up with food poisoning afterward. Overall, this was not an enjoyable experience and definitely not somewhere I would return to. Between the long wait, the condition of the restaurant, and the poor food quality, I can't recommend this place.

Don't drink so can't really provide any context there. I go places for the foods. I'm gluten free and they had plenty of options for me to include pizza!

We've found two great pizza places here recently and this is one of them! Honestly, really hard to come by good pizza in Delaware. The other menu items were serious bonuses for me since apps are lacking in this state too. Service was great, attentive enough but not over the top. Also, yes, they do offer a military discount. Good music on, quiet for a weekday afternoon which I like.. I'll be back!
