Ordered Carry out today and was a nice switch! I don't get barbecue often, but this place knows how to do it right. Turkey was so juicy and fresh, and even though I got the lean brisket it was still delicious and no where near dried out! Also tried their chili mac, which was a bit of a mix for me, I felt like there needed to be just a little less chili, it was like 60%mac and 40% chili, which just felt like a lot. Their fries were killer! Definitely a sleeper hit, the seasoning and crunch even after getting back to my place,... read more

If you have a dairy or gluten allergy and are missing BBQ, check out Federalist Pig! Online they clearly list which items have dairy and gluten which makes it a lot easier. I love the set up here, you order at the counter and then can find your own seating. There are plenty of tables but it doesn't feel crowded at all. They call your name when your order is ready and you pick it up and then there is a shelf where you can grab different BBQ sauces, napkins, and cutlery. They also have to go boxes there as well as bags! Th... read more

After seeing what felt like dozens of videos/images of Federalist Pig's mouthwatering meats all over my TikTok FYP and Instagram Reels, I knew that I needed to visit this highly lauded barbecue spot. And no, it's not just hyped up by "food influencers" - it's been recognized in the Michelin Guide (earning the distinction of Bib Gourmand), with Southerners proclaiming that it just may rival the BBQ to be had down south. The restaurant itself is located a hop away from Dupont Circle in the more residential neighborhood of Adam... read more

Heard a lot of hype around this place and was super excited to try it. But after having tried bbq in Texas, Kentucky, and North Carolina this doesn't match up to that. Ambiance: 5/5 - I loved the ambiance and atmosphere here. The music they were playing was fantastic and had plenty of picnic style tables to sit for a family to be together. Price: 2/5 - I think its typical of a DC restaurant to be overpriced but I was hoping a bbq place would provide more portions for the price they charged. I got the 2 step which include... read more
