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

Last minute find. It is a casual restaurant, you order at the counter, sit down and eat. Self service with sauces, utensils, napkins and to-go containers. Clean up after yourself when you are done. Which works for me at times when I don't want to pay 20% service tip. Our meal came to close to $100, it would have been $20 for tip we saved. The food is good, everything was tasty.

I'm by no means a BBQ snob but I've had BBQ once or twice and I'd say Federalist Pig is quite good. My favorite was actually the pork belly. It was perfectly tender and juicy with a delicious smokey flavor. The brisket and ribs were quite good as well. Their sides are solid as well the brussel sprouts were solid quite hard to miss there and the mac and cheese and potato salad were also good. Their selection of bbq sauces really did it for me each one had depth of flavor and brought a new flavor profile to each bite.

We were visiting the area and came across this resto. The food and the different sauces were so good! The meat was tender and cooked just like the way it should. The staff were nice and accomodating. The side dishes like the mash potato were also great! Yhe ambiance was inviting, it was clean. I like the accessible sink in the dining area, eating ribs can be messy. This place reminds me of Phil's BBQ in California but this place has more options.
