13 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Wilmington

“Thank You Mission BBQ for great food products, friendly service, and your exceptional hospitality to military Vets and area First Responders. Your dining area walls are a museum of first hand experiences of those who serve and served this great nation. If anyone dines here for the first time, try if you can to do so at Noon of any day, when they ask patrons to stand for and sing the National Anthem. This is a business that "walks the walk" of appreciating this great nation - and not ashamed of doing it. And finally, did I mentioned their BBQ is exceptional! Thank you.“

“Excellent. The vibe is righteous with this place. I don’t think there’s a restaurant that can compete with them.“

“Blessed! Blessed! Blessed!“

“Me and my family love city barbecue so much. It’s delicious. It’s one of our go to‘s for a quick weeknight dinner. The staff is always super friendly and the food really is top notch. We’ve never been disappointed!!“

“Best in town with them chickens n them hush puppies!!!!!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best buffet I’ve ever been to and best bbq in NC- hands down. The owners and the staff are all awesome! Casey’s has won best buffet pretty much every year since I moved to Wilmington and it is well deserved. If you like good ole southern cooking like grandma used to make- do yourself a favor and check this place out!“

“Love this place!! Their barbecue sandwiches are the BOMB . . . my only recommendation is please make sure the bread doesn’t fall apart!! Maybe drain the barbecue and the coleslaw a little more before putting it on. Today’s sandwich was good . . . but they have been a bit soggy in the past. Keep up the good work!!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“Shrimp burger and fries. The homemade mango lemonade was a real thirst quencher for me. My mom sampled the shrimp burger and a week later was saying where is that Webo’s truck. Well we couldn’t make it to Burgaw in time so we headed to the restaurant across from the Legion Stadium in Wilmington. We were yet delighted😋 again with our meal. Oh I forgot I ordered a turkey bbq plate with collards n yams. (quite tasty) Look to see you soon. May God continue to bless your business feed & serve the community. 🙏🏽“

“I've been eating at Jackson's all my life, but I commented to my husband tonight that it always slaps! Thought I'd give a thank you shout to the Davis family for keeping the restaurant in tip top shape after all these years! It remains a Wilmington staple.

PS, hehehe while I'm here-- plz correct your Veggie Plate option on doordash-- It only lets ya select two!“

“Frontier has the BEST hot dogs and burgers! The chili burger is to die for. It’s a humble restaurant, with a lot of heart. I highly recommend“

“This was our first visit to this Longhorn. The restaurant was very clean, the greeters were very personable , the server was efficient and always checked on us throughout our meal and the steaks were delicious. We would recommend this steakhouse to anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“I love to dine at Texas Roadhouse, it's great almost always. Lately though we've been getting it to go because I'm disabled and I hate to get in people's way; hopefully I'll be fixed soon but what I've found really aggravating is getting all the way home to find the order isn't all there. Granted we should have checked it before we left but we shouldn't have to and as is normal, you all were packed and we didn't want to keep anyone waiting. It is disappointing though especially when I'm paying the same price as if I were sitting down enjoying myself, tip too. Maybe the people doing to go orders could just check behind themselves, it sure would be nice when you have a to go order and you live 30 miles away. We're all human and we all make mistakes as well, so I know we'll be back!!“
