Mission restaurants seem to be very knowledgeable about cross contamination. No breads but fries are cooked separate. Great food

Awesome service and food to match. Very knowledgeable staff. Very cautious about cross contamination. The only sauce not GF is Texas Twang. I have been multiple times and service and food was great every time. This is also a military service proud restaurant that has parking reserved for veterans.

Very overpriced. The meats were ok and the service was excellent (maybe a little too excellent). Big plus for GF fries. Overall good experience, but not worth the price for a chain.

Almost everything on this BBQ-focused menu is GF. Fries are in dedicated fryers. They have a blue soda🙀

I have had good luck with every Mission BBQ. This one is no exception. Attention to detail. GF menu available. Great service.

Glad to see they are expanding their locations.

Good meal. I wish they had a GF menu available. I had to consult their website while ordering. Be careful with the sauces. Some are GF but others are not.

I am very gluten free and I did not get sick. The owner or manger was very helpful and even called our order up to see if it was an allergy. I will definitely eat here again

I cannot even begin to describe how delicious their food is AND how many gluten free options you get. The meat is some of the best BBQ I’ve had in a while. Bonus — dedicated fryer for the fries!!! So many choices and almost all sauces are gluten free! One isn’t due to having Worcestershire in it. Highly recommend!

My daughter has celiac and has had no reaction. The employees make sure to communicate that there is a gluten issue when preparing her food. Dedicated fryer for fries!

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.
