Mission BBQ opens its 11th location on Oct. 27 in Annapolis, marking the restaurant’s sixth location in the state of Maryland.

Other Maryland locations are in Canton, California, Perry Hall, Columbia, and Glen Burnie, with a Laurel site set to open in November.

About Mission BBQ:

Mission BBQ first opened its doors on Sept. 11, 2011, the tenth anniversary of the terror attacks. Owners Bill Kraus and Steve Newton opened the restaurant with a mission to give back to local community and American heroes, who protect, serve and save.

Each Mission BBQ location supports and donates proceeds to numerous military charities including the Wounded Warrior Project, USO, Toys for Tots and the Honor Flight Network, as well as the many local police, fire and first responder charities in each of their communities.
