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.

Philippine Smoked BBQ is one of the most unique restaurants in Delaware, and the Filipino food they serve is absolutely worth trying. However, sometimes you just want a brisket sandwich, or perhaps some pulled pork. Swing by this spot when you're out running errands near Elsmere. You won't regret it for a second.

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.

Of course Bethany Blues makes the list! Every one of their BBQ sandwiches is perfect - especially when you pile them high with crispy onions! This is my favorite Lewes restaurant, and that's saying a LOT.

Young's BBQ in Middletown is a little known place hiding in a strip mall, but don't be put off by that! This place is the real deal, and the bbq sauce takes a great pulled pork sandwich and kicks it up to an AWESOME one.

Charlie K's is a summer tradition for me, because I end up near Ocean View a lot, and can't pass this place up. I love their pulled chicken - the sauce and seasonings is beyond delicious.

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!
