The Smoke House at Monkey Junction, 5120 College Road in Wilmington, is a must-visit for BBQ…read morelovers. 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.

First time at a Mission BBQ but based on the reviews, we decided to check it out. I got the Baby…read moreBack ribs and they were perfect. Juicy and smoked so nicely. Toothy and what I want in a rib. It didn't need any sauce at all but there were several to try on the table. I had to try to North Carolina Vinegar, South Carolina Zing, Kansas City Classic, Texas Twang and the Tupelo Honey Heat. My favorite was definitely the Tupelo Honey Heat. My meal came with corn bread and coleslaw. You can choose a side if you get the meal. I enjoyed the slaw. Very fresh. Could have used a pinch of salt. Not too sweet and not to mayonnaise- y. The service was friendly. Even though you pick up your food (which was FAST), there was a bus person (I think her name was Kayla) was awesome. Super sweet, asked us how our food was, if we needed anything, if it was our first time. She was very warm and welcoming. I give my first experience with Mission BBQ top marks. I'd go back again if my experience was as good.

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.

Coleslaw and baked beans tasted like the usual, decent. Cornbread was very soft which I liked but was too sweet for me. Pulled pork and brisket were okay. They had a spicy and western BBQ sauces, which were okay, not my favorite. Mac and cheese was not my favorite, like from a school cafeteria. The banana pudding was the worst - tasted like an artificial pudding.
