Great find! The bbq is Texas good, and the bourbons are very special. Two things made it extra fun... the band tonight was awesome, and the bartenders were very friendly with great recommendations. Would definitely go back! read more

Was in town for a lacrosse tourney and found this place on Yelp. Brought our large group of 15+ in and they were able to get us all seated pretty quickly. BBQ was phenomenal (try the chili too!) and the Bourbon List was really good! Great service and will definitely be back when we are in town! read more

The meats were all really good except for the chicken which was just ok. We had the feast. The sides were tasty a little dried because of the end of the night. Didn't care for the beans. Loved the live music. Great atmosphere. Great new addition to BBQ in Wilmington. Definitely try it. read more

Clearly there are some opening / shakeout issues. Many items were sold out, lines were very long, and the ceiling in our booth was dripping onto the bench where we were sitting. We also weren't too into the whole idea of cafeteria style dining, particularly with a long wait. Prices were also fairly high, and beer selection limited. Food was decent enough, but wasn't IMO worth the prices. I'll give them another chance to get things ironed out, but not too much more than that. read more

I've been to limestone 3-4 times since it's opening. And each time the food never disappoints. I have tried the chicken & the brisket. I love the brisket and so that's all I get now. The regular Mac and cheese is okay. I have to put pepper and sometimes salt on it. Or just bbq sauce because that's good too. The Brussels are delicious. My husband LOVES the chili Mac and cheese, but I am no fan. The funnel cake was hard & dry when I tried it. I'm not sure if it was sitting too long, but I won't chance it. I've only ever had two drinks from the bar and never enjoyed them. They were remakes of drinks I like such as amaretto sour. So, I only drink water when I go there. The staff are friendly and recognized us last night so idk if that's good or bad because we don't go much. It's a cool place to go and eat good bbq. And if you're a whisky fan, you'll like the drinks better than I did. I'm not a huge drinker. read more

Ordered over the phone on Sunday morning for a large pickup on Sunday night. I was very particular, but the staff were great (thanks again for your patience). Our party of 5 thought everything was delicious - especially the meat selection (ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and sausage). I got 1/2 rack ribs for each person in our party hoping it would be enough for their monstrous appetites. It's been a long time since I've eaten the real deal. We could barely finish 1 rack between the 5 of us . Skip the sides and splurge on extra protein for your order. You won't regret it. read more

The brisket and mac & cheese are great and super juicy. The only reason I can't give a five is that I also tried the ribs that were tough and way too dry. Now I've had both dry and touch ribs that weren't too bad before, but when I was offered a plastic knife and fork and with those, it nearly broke the knife to split the bones apart, it was clearly too tough. Anyone going, I do suggest the brisket and mac & cheese and my wife said the colslaw is pretty good two, just avoid the ribs and you'll be satisfried. read more

Covid rules seemed to be followed. The real talk here is the atmosphere and the food! Very chill and cool but fun with live acts on the weekends. My family shared the filthy feast. And it was allll delicious ! read more

I have had several meals here. Today I got a 1/2 rack of ribs, mac & cheese and cucumber & tomato salad. The ribs were great! The mac & cheese was okay. I have also had the pulled pork chicken salad. They were both very good. The baked beans are also tasty. Today I noticed a new side. It looked like burnt end and rice. read more

Nice atmosphere. Friendly greeting as soon as we walked in with an explanation of how everything works. Friday's and saturday's have live music. The Night we went the band was good. Just wish the music wasn't quite as loud so we could at least hear the person sitting next to us. Ordered the Feast to experience everything. It can feed 4-5 people. Portions are worth the money. Brisket, pulled pork and chicken were nice and moist. Ribs were a little salty. Greens are a little vinegary, brussel sprouts are grilled and barely seasoned, but i like my veggies that way. Im not a fan of most mac and cheese, but this was not bad. If there was anything to recommend, It would be to have at least one piece of cornbread come with the meal. Disappointed i lost 2 sides to cornbread. Definitely would go again. read more

Ate here twice in 2 days with no shame. We went again this past week and the portions were less than half of what there where a few weeks ago for the same meal & same price, that is disappointing but the food is Top notch! Baked beans are 5 stars along with the sausage & brisket. read more

Stopped in last night for takeout! It was wonderful. Staff was very conscientious about distance, cleaning and properly worn masks. Food was awesome! read more

We got the large meal while celebrating my son's birthday. 5 adults and we had just a bit leftover. Some of the best ribs and brisket I've had in a long time. We were a bit confused by the cafeteria style, but the staff helped us through it and we'll know better next time. We were there early evening on Sunday with no crowd. The crowd was picking up while we were eating. read more

I am from Tennessee, ya'll. And we know real bbq. This is the real deal! We got the Philthy Feast to try everything. The ribs, brisket, pulled pork and chicken quarters were outstanding. The bbq sausages were a little too spicy. Great choice of sides, also. Since I have lived in DE, this is the best bbq I have had. We will definitely go back. Would be great for a family get together. I am so glad this restaurant is near me. I put it right up there with TN bbq. That my friends, is a compliment! We did take out. Food well packed. Was delicious reheated at 50% power in microwave. read more

We went for the first time last night and although the initial process was a bit confusing when we figured we missed something, like the chalkboard, the staff behind the counter kindly gave us options. Friendly staff and thoroughly impressed with the brisket and sides! Only suggestion is to have wait staff getting drink orders from the bar so you can all eat together without someone having to go and get drinks while the others eat. For this, you lost one star. read more

Visited this establish now for the fourth time . Food and service are excellent!! Ribs and pulled pork comes with an assortment of sauces. I had the brisket on a stick with the small potatoes. Perfect snack as we sat and watched little playoff football. If you like bourbon and BbQ this is the place for you . I recommend the apple cider old fashion !! This place is perfect for large group or just the two of you . I'd say best place around for BBQ. Definitely makes the A list . read more

Service was great and fast and the food was very good. Very cool inside as well. Will def be back!

We've been three times. Good food, very good prices. Cafeteria style, but had no issues with it. No rush feel while eating. Wish they would have more TV's for football on Sunday's. If they have that we would hang out for the bar more. read more

When I saw that this place was going to mimic a BBQ in Austin, Texas I was real excited, but it seems that all BBQ places up in the North don't know how to use real wood for smoking their meat, it all taste like artificial smoke. So it was ok and more likely will not be going back. But ....give it a try if that is what you are use to. read more

First visit yesterday October 13,2018 Nice atmosphere but looking at the menu board was a bit confusing, what made it worse is the counter where you place the order has no menus to refer to which made it imperative that you had to have a great memory. Service was fast and order came out on paper covered plastic servers trays, not a plate in sight to use they only offer small paper trays ! Drinks were displayed on ice , Cups were available but no ice in sight! Ordered sampler enjoyed the ribs and BBQ pulled pork , however the brisket had way to much bark to enjoy the meaty parts. I barely remember tasting any "smokey taste" I think they relay on a huge choice of sauces to enhance the meat! Price was in line with other Bbq places , however I think its the food that makes one desire to return for more, I did not get that feeling on this visit! Loving BBQ and sampling many awesome places across the USA I would not kill for a return visit! read more

First time trying this place, I tried the taco Tuesday tacos. I know I know, trying tacos at a bbq place. Definitely the wrong choice. Seemed like they used the leftover chicken, pork, and brisket for the tacos which is fine but not when it is 19 dollars for 4 tacos. They were made half assed assembly line style. I've had better tacos at a roach coach on the side of the road. The tortillas were hard and obviously old. Atmosphere was relaxed and beer was good. Had a huge bourbon bar. Maybe it was the wrong night and wrong thing to get but tacos definitely aren't their specialty and insanely over priced. I want some money back! read more

Worth the drive! Simple and well priced menu. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Would highly recommend anyone looking to dip there bbq pallet to stop here. read more

This is an interesting place, cool interior and setting. Unfortunately my brisket was dry requiring a lot of sauce. When you are charging $30 a pound for brisket it better be the best brisket I've ever had. The most well-known barbecue spots in Texas and Louisiana charge 22 per pound and it is a world of difference. I had a simple question as well and the server decided to straight up lie to me instead of telling me he did not know and asking someone else. Overall you should try it if you have not been to it and decide for yourself however are I am not to impressed, sausage was amazing tho read more

Went here last night with seven other people. Atmosphere is great, food was superb, and staff and service was quick and friendly. My daughter lives in Plano, TX and I have been to a few different BBQ places there. This place was on par with them and even better. The brisket was absolutely delicious. Would and have recommended this place. read more

This BBQ spot is one of a kind in the area. It's easily accessible, the food is delicious and it's clear that the design and decor in the restaurant itself was all carefully selected to create the perfect BBQ joint where you can relax on a weekend day, eat some amazing food and enjoy well crafted drinks. The BBQ here is on point--my husband drooled over the brisket! Aggie behind the bar is a cocktail genius. Definitely come here for a great experience, I know we'll be back for the live music! read more

Fantastic food. Best BBQ joint in DE. The meats are smoked perfectly and the bourbon selection is great. Great ambiance and live music. read more

Sometimes it's worth giving a new place a second chance, as it may need time to adjust. Well I'm glad I went back to try this bbq again. This time it was for lunch so I skipped the fancy bourbon drink, which by the way was delicious, and went straight for what I was missing on my first visit...meat! OMG the people who did get to try it and raved about it, they were right! I tried the brisket (fatty) the way I like it but if you don't they offer it less fatty, your choice. I also tried the ribs, just as delicious. I was pleased to get corn on the cob, something that's hard to find in Texas bbq's for some reason. Robbie was a true gentleman about my poor first review and thanked me for coming back to give him a second chance. Well done chef.... you keep on cooking like that and improving as you grow and you have a winner! I'll be back.... read more

Just finished the Philthy Sampler and it was everything the reviews said, but fir $27 it wasn't enough for two. We had brisket, pulled pork and sausage. The slaw was good, beans good and the brussels we're delish. Just wish the portions we're enough for two. Sunday supper with out the seconds. read more

So glad this is here. I miss good BBQ since moving north, and this is pretty darn good. The sides are different/non-traditional. For example, the collards taste more like a dish my Italian grandmother used to make than traditional southern Greens. But they are bery good. Chilli mac is awesome. Pulled pork is awesome. Sausage is not my favorite for this style... Again, more of an Italian sausage flavor. But, overall, I'll be back. Probably many times. read more

Very good bbq. Recommend the brisket. Drinks are pretty good but expensive. The one challenge we had is getting our food and drink at the same time. It would help if there was someway to get a drink order in while you grab your food at the front. We got our food and then immediately went to the bar..this caused us to have cold food when we finally sat down to eat . Really liked the music they have read more

This is the best smoked beef brisket I've ever had. Delicious. Great atmosphere, friendly service and awesome smoked BBQ.

A fun night at BBQ and Bourbon. The Beatles tribute band was a nice plus. The food is served cafeteria style, which is very different and a nice change. The BBQ medley gave us the ability to try many things, all of them good. The only drawback to our evening was the slow bar service, but in their defense it was very crowded. The bourbon specialty drinks were well worth the wait. Our server was attentive and sweet. The manager did a few stop bys to check on everything. read more

I've had take out.. got a ton of food for the meal for 2 option. Ribs are delicious as that's my go to. They have a variety of sauces. I have not ate in the place yet, only take out read more

Like the bar and live music. Not a big fan of the cafeteria style food service. Who wants to sit at the bar relaxing and then have to stand in line for 45 minutes for food. Very bad idea. Why can't you order food from a bartender and have it delivered? read more

I came to Limestone Barbeque on a friend's recommendation. Pulling into the parking lot I was impressed with the size and the sign for the restaurant. There are two entrances. One for takeout, one for lunch/dinner. I went in the second one. It was a very large open place with wood tables and chairs. I was a little confused as to what to do. I told the employees it was my first time here. One of them showed me a menu written on a blackboard. And then he handed me a printed one. I looked it over and ordered the More Cowbell. You order at the counter. He said it's a sandwich. I said OK. He rang a cowbell and shouted out More Cowbell! to the cooks. I ordered a side of chili mac, too, which they don't always have, and a can of diet Coke. Everything was on a tray and ready to go as soon as I paid the $18.25. Extremely fast and fun service. When he meant a sandwich, he meant everything was on the bun, baked beans and slaw included. It was falling off all over the tray. I got silverware, a plastic cup of water, and a small cup of cucumbers in vinegar from a stand behind the tables and sat down. The table had three kinds of sauce on it, traditional, Carolina, and hot. There was also a roll of paper towels, which came in handy. I ate the stuff that had spilled onto the tray first. It was love at first bite. The best brisket I've ever tasted. It melted in my mouth. Insanely tender. The rest of the meat was nearly as good. The beans, chili mac, and slaw weren't quite as tasty, but they were better when I added the Carolina sauce, which is my favorite. It took awhile to get to the point where I could actually hold the bun, but eventually I did and wolfed it down. The barbeque and the service were fantastic. The sides OK. I was just a little thrown about how to order, but now I know. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Awesome, got the sampler, excellent lean brisket, pulled pork and ribs. Mac and cheese was also great. Love the atmosphere, good job guys keep up the good work. read more

Limestone BBQ brought authentic Texas flavor up north! You MUST go, you won't be disappointed! 1/2 ribs with Carolina sauce and the baked beans (done right, not overly sweet) is a killer. Pickles cleanses the pallet for the next bite...you salivating yet?!?!? Definitely worth it! read more

See all

Stopped here randomly on the way to Delaware. Live blues music tonight! Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We will be back!

Who runs out of food on a Saturday night? This place. We sat at the bar because we walked in, and had no idea how to get a table? Get food? The bartenders were too busy talking, cleaning, moving bottles around, etc to serve. We had to call them over for drinks..(really?) it's a BOURBON bar. read more

When you end your meal by saying "please take this away from me because I'm full and I CANNOT STOP EATING" it's a very good sign. The staff was so friendly and walked us through the menu. The brisket was some of the best I've ever had. White bbq? Who knew what a treat that would be?! They did...bbq wizards. The mac n cheese had that perfect cheesy crust your Aunt Bertha wish she could perfect. I don't even like sausage and I arm wrestled my boyfriend for the last piece. I won. read more
