Most people love ribs, but when a BBQ joint can make an amazing brisket, pulled pork, or pulled chicken sandwich – that’s when they really win my heart. Luckily, Delaware is home to some amazing smokehouses and BBQ spots that I can almost smell, just from writing about them… mmmmm. These restaurants make some of the best BBQ in Delaware and they really impress with their pulled meats and brisket sandwich platters. I know what I’m getting for lunch today!
Locale is a newer spot in Wilmington that serves up some of the freshest BBQ in the state. I love stopping in for lunch and grabbing a pulled pork sandwich, sweet tea, and a bag of their homemade BBQ chips. It doesn't get much better than this.

Meat Mechanics is guaranteed to be a frequent stop of anyone who lives in or passes through Kent County. They serve up some great ribs and chicken, but their brisket sandwich is one of the best I've ever had.

Oh man, my mouth is watering just thinking of the brisket sandwich I tried the first time I went to Fat Daddys in Georgetown. If you try just one thing on the menu, make it that.

Oh Phoebe's has a storefront, but you probably want to catch their food truck in Smyrna hiding in the Advance Auto Parks parking lot for the best they have to offer. If you're out shopping or running errands, this is the perfect place to stop for a quick bite to eat and an amazing pulled pork sandwich.

Uncle John's Smokehouse is great, and I absolutely love their ribs, but they make our best BBQ Sandwich list for the unbelievable Smokehouse Philly Brisket sandwich, with onions and peppers. Seriously, make a trip out to Milford just for this sandwich. Amazing.

Smokin' Dz makes the list because of their incredible flavor on the Smokin D Dog! If you haven't tried it and you like BBQ, you're missing out. Pile it high with everything and smother it in barbeque sauce. Just make sure you grab some extra napkins!
