A staple in all Southern households, classic slide-off-the-bone barbecue is a challenging art to master. Mission BBQ, a three-time Best of Fayetteville champion, will take you on a journey to the heart of classic barbecue dishes with a twang. Mission hits just the right notes, pairing its award-winning entrees with flavorful sides at just the right portion to leave anyone feeling more than content. It's not just the quality cuts of meat and the flavor profiles in its sauces and sides that make Mission BBQ a beloved fixture in Fayetteville. Mission BBQ is deeply passionate about giving back to those who have sacrificed extraordinarily. Regularly donating funds to organizations such as the Semper Fi Fund, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and the Wounded Warrior Project, Mission BBQ makes a point to show its gratitude for the selflessness of each man and woman who protects and serves our country. To honor them further, Mission BBQ makes a point to offer employment to veterans and honors the USA by standing at attention for the national anthem, every day at noon. Thank you, Mission BBQ, for offering delectable dishes able to satisfy any local or visitor from all walks of life. And for serving up a heaping helping of community involvement and inspiration. It is appreciated.

Best Hamburger Five Guys 2811 Raeford Rd. and various locations 910-485-3400 The sweet succulence of a juicy burger is something many have tried to master. Who can really say they have created the perfect hamburger? Fayetteville has spoken, and Five Guys has been crowned the victor. The burger joint provides enough flavor combinations and options to surprise the complex palette of a chef or the simplest tastes of a child. Five Guys may not have reinvented the wheel, but it certainly reintroduced Fayetteville to a love for the classic combo: a burger and fries. The anticipation that occurs upon receiving your brown bag, spilling over with hand-cut fries, the steam and salt escaping as you make your way to a table, is palpable. There's no need to fight the urge to splurge – go ahead. Take a bite. Bonus – the new Five Guys location at Freedom Town Center serves milkshakes! Open every day from 11 a.m.-10 p.m., this is one quick stop you don't want to miss. It's real, it's simple, it's always fresh, it's Five Guys.
