Mission BBQ Now Delivers By Boat to Annapolis Waters

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Mission BBQ, the Baltimore-born fast-casual barbecue restaurant, recently christened its first delivery boat, Seabrisket, in Ego Alley in the Annapolis Harbor. Known for their all-black, military-style signature Mission BBQ delivery trucks, the brand added the delivery boat to its fleet for catering and delivery to docks throughout the Annapolis area.

“As we continue to grow and expand Mission BBQ, we thought, what would be more appropriate than to add a delivery boat docked in Annapolis, the home of the US Naval Academy?” said co-founder Bill Kraus. “We are thrilled to introduce Seabrisket to the public and excited to continue to serve our patrons by land and now by sea.”

The new Mission BBQ boat is a refurbished Coast Guard rib boat that was re-painted and decorated in the same branding and style as the company's delivery truck. Seabrisket will also be able to make guest appearances at dockside parties and events, and eventually deliver food to other boats in the Annapolis waters.

There are 12 Mission BBQ restaurants in Maryland, including two in Annapolis, and one in Glen Burnie.

The introduction of Seabrisket to the Mission BBQ fleet further signifies the company's growth over the past five years. Originally predicting the restaurant would open 40 stores by the end of 2018, Mission BBQ will open its 40th location in November in Tampa, Florida; two years ahead of schedule. The restaurant has grown to 12 locations in Maryland alone, and now expects to double original projection and open 80 restaurants by 2018.
