    "We're a band of brothers and sisters and whatever On a mission to break all the rules" (Willie Nelson) Mission BBQ opened its doors for business on September 11, 2011. Their patriotic theme, mission, and décor honors the nation's military, police, firefighters, and first responders. There is military memorabilia, photos, police patches, and quotations everywhere you look. The chain is up to 142 locations, and although two of them are in my home state, it took a trip to Rehoboth Beach to mark my first visit to a Mission BBQ. Their menu covers all of the familiar barbecue basics - brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, sausage, ribs, turkey, and the customary side dishes (mac and cheese, beans, slaw). We ordered at the counter, grabbed our soft drink, and waited for our number to be called. We split a pulled pork sandwich ($8.89) and went for Traditional flavor and not the vinegary NC Style, a big order of their Fresh Cut Fries ($3.19), and a $2.89 soft drink. The food was excellent. That one sandwich and single order of fries were plenty for us to split. One great feature Mission has is a six pack of different BBQ sauces at every table, so you can find your perfect formula of sweet, hot, or savory notes to complement your barbecue. We had an excellent lunch and sure enjoyed our visit.

    Great spot for a fast and tasty lunch while shopping at the outlets! Even on Black Friday, when the entire Tanger complex was a disaster, Mission kept plugging along. Came at the tail end of lunch and was able to secure a seat and were in and out in no time. I'm glad I attempted a healthier lunch with the pulled chicken, coleslaw and baked beans with brisket. The chicken was delicious and very juicy as well as paired quite well with all of the sauces. My favorite was the WV style with molasses - I just kept adding to everything. The bun was nice and soft and it wasnt too sloppy! The coleslaw was quite good and paired well on the bun with the chicken and by itself. Not too mayo forward with a great bright pop. I loved those beans. My wife got the brisket solo, which was very good as well, but having the brisket in the beans was great. The staff were all SO nice and helpful. Especially on a big shopping holiday like Black Friday, I felt like everyone was so pleasant and helpful. My wife asked for honey and butter with the cornbread, but they only had butter - the manager really searched for honey and was so sweet when they didn't have any. There were a lot of great looking sides and mains and since my wife and I visit Delaware a few times a year, we will be back knowing we can get a great lunch!

    We're visiting from Philadelphia and decided to stop by Mission BBQ here in Delaware--and let me just say, this place left a lasting impression on our family. From the moment we walked in, Janiah (GSR) greeted us with a bright smile and a full breakdown of what to expect. Her energy and attention made us feel like more than just customers--it felt like home. And Dwayne D (the DRL) sealed the deal with genuine hospitality, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our visit. The food? Incredible. Flavorful, fresh, and served with care. My mother, who never asks for seconds, went back for more sides--which says everything. Store 134, you guys truly rock. Thank you for giving us such a great experience. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

The food here is remarkably good at a reasonable price. It is not quite southern barbecue, but the food is tasty and enjoyable. Some of their dishes are quite creative, like their mac n cheese skillet with kielbasa and pulled pork. In my opinion, barbecue restaurants should have a room in the back for naps, because that is what you will be doing after you eat here. It does get a bit loud here with the live entertainment, and parking can be hard to find on weekends, but that is understood. Better than an empty lot and walking out on an empty stomach.

The food itself is okay.. the sauce on the burgers (we ordered the Hammy's favorite and Blondes Have More Fun), actually stole the show, more than the actual burger itself. THE WINGS, also... stole the show. We ordered thai chili wings too (Big Ol Wings, also pictured), good choice. Now these milkshakes, also fire. My boyfriend and I ordered the strawberries & cream and the unbirthday cake milkshake (both pictured), and the server for sure was not wrong, when he said the fan favorite was the strawberries & cream. I would love to come to Hammy's again, for some wings & milkshakes. The burger, eh.. I wouldn't mind trying another option that they have.

We ordered a brisket sandwich platter and a pulled pork sandwich platter. The platter came w 2 sides. The choices yesterday were greens, coleslaw, potato salad, and corn bread.

The meals are extremely well priced and I'm regretting not stopping years ago!!
