I got 2 eggs over medium, bacon and wheat toast. The food was good, but that's ok! What I didn't like, I had to butter my own toast and there was no rye toast offered, nor was there any type of potatoes or hot tea. Additionally, we ate on styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. I understand why this is how they operate, but as someone that does not like using plastic unless absolutely necessary, it was a small turn off. The smiling faces that ran the restaurant were welcoming and very accommodating. I was happy to support local, but that was the only appeal to me.

The wings, just smoked enough and pulled off the bone so easy. The hush puppies were so good. Maybe even a dessert dish. We will be back!!!

Visitors from out of town and saw this restaurant when heading in town. Decided to give it a try…read moresince I needed som BBQ. Arrived at 12:30 on Friday and it was very busy. Walked in and no one said a word. Staff passed us several times until I finally asked someone did I seat myself. It was an order and pay situation and then find your own seat. Food came quickly but that's the best I can say. Get your own drinks at the fountain, your own bbq sauce, also at the counter. No sweet bbq sauce, but they have their own vinegar blend and a form of Alabama white sauce if you ask for it. My partner had the pulled bbq sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. I had the red neck nachos with pull bbq sandwich on top. The bbq was VERY dry even with sauce on it. The nachos were almost all nachos with little toppings. Most was thrown away.. oh you do that as well. They asked for a tip as well, but we did all the work except deliver the food to the table. Each to their own and maybe your experience will be better than mine, but not worth the $35.

I sat outside and finished my sandwich which was not that great meat had a lot of fat but the bbq sauce was good so made the sandwich ok.

As someone picky about brisket and pulled pork, I was thrilled with their December special: a half-pound of pulled pork with two sides for just $7.40. The pork was perfectly prepared, tender, and flavorful, complemented by their in-house sides and Sweet Southern sauce. Counter service was friendly and efficient, and the dining area was clean and spacious. It's a bit tucked away--look between McDonald's and Chick-fil-A, then left into the smaller strip. I'll definitely be back when visiting Wilmington again. Highly recommend!

We've been visiting Mission BBQ regularly since 2019, right after moving to Wilmington, NC, and…read moreit's consistently been a great spot for delicious barbecue. The food quality always impresses us, and the prices are some of the most reasonable in town--honestly, next to Costco's hot dog meal, Mission BBQ is the cheapest place to enjoy a lunch meal. As you can see from the attached photos my favorite meal is the 2- Sampler, Pulled Pork and Brisket with sides of Baked Beans and Coleslaw. These are the best baked beans that I have found in Wilmington and the coleslaw ranks high on my list. Depending on the cooking staff on duty that day there may be a slight variation in the coleslaw. My wife's favorite meal is their Pulled Pork Sandwich, and I will give her my cornbread which she thoroughly enjoys. What earns this restaurant 5 stars is their consistency of delivering great food over the years and I feel confident in recommending to Visitors and natives alike.
