We came here after seeing good reviews. Neither of us are typically BBQ fans and choose BBQ when looking for a place to eat. The inside was big with ample seating. You go into a cove off the to the right and order and the seating is separate out to the left. The cashier who took our order was incredibly helpful. He helped us order for our small kid. They don't have a kids menu but they have options that tend to be catered towards kids. He also helped us save money when we ordered to share. We did the four meats and four side... read more

Ordered delivery tonight from Federalist Pig and I hate to say this, it was one of the worst meals of my 32 years on Earth. We ordered the special for 2, burnt ends, ribs, pulled pork, and pork belly, with double fries, green beans, and chili Mac. Everything tasted horrendous. The ribs were completely dry, the pulled pork was cat food at best (and I absolutely hate using these words but really there's nothing else to describe it), the pork belly was dry, and the burnt ends were bland and dry. We also ordered the oxtail empan... read more

We stopped by here for a late dinner after work. I liked the vibe inside as well as the outside seating. Everyone was pretty satisfied with their meals, although the meats could have been served hotter. It's good having a BBQ choice in this neighborhood.

I've had quite some bbq foods before. Today I was a little disappointed trying a new location with good reviews. First, the person taking the order seemed like they didn't enjoy their job Second, our food was not hot and over seasoned The brisket was not tender and the spare ribs was alright. I did end up tossing a one out cause it was cold. I am not sure what really happened. Third, 3% surcharge and tip for basically self serve food The Mac and cheese was good in my opinion as well! 

Business response:

Hello Eric, we are glad that you enjoyed the mac & cheese but it looks like we missed the mark during your visit. We always encourage guests to let us know about any issues while dining in so we can fix them. Please contact us at info@federalistpig.com so we can discuss.

I have eaten a lot of bbq in my life and it is hard to find bad bbq. I found it. I couldn't finish the order. I ordered two different ribs, wings, mac and cheese and green beans. How do you mess up ribs and wings? The Mac and cheese had no flavor. I even tried to add a different sauce with some blue cheese. I could even finish it. 

Business response:

Hello Michael, it would be helpful to learn more information about this - specifically whether this was for dine-in or delivery, and the day and time. Please contact us at info@federalistpig.com so we can discuss.

We ordered burnet ends, brisket, wings & ribs. Everything was so good. My favorite were the wings! Smokey flavor with a bomb ass dry rub (sugar, paprika, garlic & onion powdery flavor). We ordered delivery from ubereats and it came pretty quick and was still warm. We will definitely go back!

Federalist Pig in Washington, D.C., is a BBQ lover's paradise! From the moment you walk in, the smoky aroma lets you know you're in for something special. The brisket is tender with a perfect bark, and the pulled pork is packed with flavor and just melts in your mouth. Their signature sauces add that extra punch, especially the spicy and tangy ones that elevate every bite. The sides are no afterthought here either--the mac and cheese is creamy with a nice cheesy crust, and the collard greens are seasoned just right. The staf... read more

Unfortunately I was not impressed with this place even with the hype. First of all, the meal my wife and I shared was the Pitmaster Special For 2 with potato salad, Mac and cheese, fries, and baked beans. Texas toast, sausage, Brisket - Burnt Ends, and Pork Spare Rib Bones and wings. The sides were particularly uninspiring. The Mac and cheese was soupy. The potato salad was dry. The beans and fries were both decent. On to the meat.... The sausage links and wings were both very good, but also the two things that saved this me... read more
