Meat is cooked separately from the other food. The fries have their own dedicated fryer. Very delicious with tons of meat options.

Great food, fast service and no one flinched or gave me the deer in the headlight look when I asked about gluten free. Will update review if I have a reaction within 24 hours.🧐plus it was, in my opinion, a little heavy on the salt.

We returned after our 1st experience was so memorable. If you haven't already eaten at noon, be sure you arrive before so you too enjoy fully! Food (pulled pork w/ several sauces & cole slaw), service, and their American spirit are exceptionally good!

Asked for the manager, as was recommended. I ordered the chopped brisket and fries. He was very knowledgeable and even gave an extra sample of sliced brisket so I could see the difference and pointed out which sauces have gluten. I will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing! I have Celiac Disease, so preparation of food to avoid cross contamination is serious to me. The manager Steve was excellent about the accommodations. He prepared our food himself and advised us about the safe sauces. I would recommend asking for the manager to make sure the prep is done correctly, because they are fairly new to the process. They have an allergy menu online and a gluten free menu in the restaurant. I loved the pulled pork and the jalapèno sausage. I will return, and you should all try it. :)

got the pulled pork and french fries. only got the fries because reviews on here recommended. I asked the lady at the counter if they were made in a dedicated fryer and she looked at me like I had 6 heads so I have to literally say "do you fry anything else in the same fryer with the fries" to get an answer, I then overheard her making fun of me for ordering gluten free. the pulled pork was dry and I wasn't a fan of either of the sauces I tried. the fries were greasy but the best park of the meal. probably won't return. on a side note they also tried to put a non gluten free side in the same box as my food (that someone I was with ordered) honestly suprised I didn't get sick

The staff go above and beyond to make sure your food is prepared and handled separately. I didn't have to ask, that's just their policy! Food was delicious and love the National Anthem at 12:00.

What an amazingly patriotic restaurant and wonderful gluten free menu, too! Come at noon like we did and your are in for a surprise! All but one BBQ sauces were GF and all is served ala carte. 3 of us chose the delicious Pulled Pork and my hubby & I split a GF Cole Slaw which was kinda bland, but I'm all about the integrity of the GF standard. We'll definitely look for other Mission BBQs as they're hard to beat. Their food, patriotism, attentive & friendly service sure draw the crowds!

This is my second visit to Mission in 6 months. I don't recall what I ordered in December bit it didn't bother me. This trip I ordered the smoked hamburger without a bun (no gf option) with mashed potatoes. This will be a regular visit when I'm in DE.
