Went here towards the end of porchfest so it was extremely busy and loud. Had some random people crowding us as we were trying to eat and also placing their drinks right at our table while we were trying to eat. Regardless, the food was amazing and I can't fault the establishment for the huge rowdy porchfest crowd. Despite the huge amount of people, the food was delicious and the staff did a great job clearing tables fast and keeping everything clean. Would definitely recommend the brisket

I love the creativity with flavors, it's consistently addictive, you'll never get bored even of the standard because it's all done so well.

Eat here! Excellent food. I had the wings, fries and Bao Buns...whew, chile! That chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the rub was so flavorful! Bao buns with kimchee, cilantro and brisket- YAASSS. Hubs had beef short ribs, which he said were tender and the rub was on point. Nice spin on tradition Mac n Cheese- jalapeño added a nice kick, and the cheeses were oozy and delicious. I have some banana pudding that I'm saving for later.... Oh! And the music ....PERFECT

This place was worth the hype!... and I say that as a person who doesn't normally like smoked meat!

Very underwhelming. Tried the ribs, "moist" brisket, pulled pork and chicken wings. Everything was very dry, the ribs were so difficult to eat bc of how dry they were! The allegedly "moist" brisket was also dry!! It had one wet pocket of fat. Everything tasted like it had been sitting out for a few hours, sort of stale. I loooove bbq and have frequented many spots throughout the DMV, North and South Carolinas. I know it's bbq and is supposed to fill you up, but this made my partner and I feel almost sick after eating only a ... read more

Came to try their monthly special a lamb gyro, which was amazing!!! I also got a 2meat combo of brisket burnt ends, smoked wings with mac & greens and brussel sprouts. While the briskets wasn't caramelized in sauce like I'm use to, it was moist, tender & still very good. I love smoked wings so couldn't go wrong with them. Their sauces are the best!! The hot bbq actually was spicy and the garlic bbq was packed full of flavor. Wish I had more than just a small container of each! The mac and cheese was decent and while brussel ... read more

Ordered the Ribs, Pork Belly, Corn, Potato Salad and Banana pudding. I was impressed, the meat was tender and done near perfect. Good selection of sauces. The sides were great and the banana pudding was amazing! Actually went back the next day just for the banana pudding. :) Awesome and friendly staff!!!

This was the first American BBQ place I have been to, and it was definitely worth it. You have so many options and sauce selection, that you might be overwhelmed. This place is somewhat of self serve but the workers there are really nice. I would recommend going to this place on a nice day. But make sure to starve yourself before going! The vibes are great, as well as, the food.

Federalist Pig (Washington DC) Likes -Turkey Breast = Good (small portions) -Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage Link = Great -Turkey Breast = Good (small portions) -Crispy Brussels Sprouts = Good -Service was great, especially our cashier -Clean restaurant Dislikes -Out of everything pork on a night I was craving ribs -Brisket looked juicy but was dry. -Overall portions small -The Texas Toast We may have dined here on a "off" night or a busy day, which would explain why they didn't have half the food on their menu. I'm cool with ... read more
