I have been craving bbq for WEEKS and finally made it to Fed Pig! I used to live in KC so I take my bbq very seriously and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I ordered the two step combo with pulled pork and fatty brisket and it was delicious. The brisket was fork tender and flavorful and the pulled pork with little crispy onions was good as well. Loved the sauce station and always appreciate when counter restaurants have a water jug! I got mac and cheese and fries as my side. The mac could have used a bit more seaso... read more

Vibe: Stopped by Federalist Pig to try their wings. Quick in-and-out type experience, nothing special atmosphere-wise. Food: Ordered the 12 wings and garlic parm broccoli. The wings were just okay. Three of them were split (see picture), and I personally don't eat those because the meat tastes different to me, so it ended up feeling more like a 9-piece. The garlic parm broccoli looked good, you could see the parmesan on it, but it tasted sweet . I didn't finish it. Service / Timing: Food came out in a reasonable time. Val... read more

Nice vibe and good enough bbq. Chicken could use a little bit more seasoning but overall pretty good

As a 2x winning Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant, the food wasn't the best as I hoped. I ordered for takeout the Two Step - Lean Sliced Brisket, Pork Spare Ribs, Mac & Cheese and BBQ Beans. The ribs were 80% fat which isn't my preference and the sides were okay. The brisket was the bright spot - super tender and great! Excluding the ribs, the food was fine but I've had better BBQ that I don't think I'd rush to come back here again or recommend.

The barbecue here is seriously legit. As someone from the south, I take barbecue very seriously and this place totally delivers. The exterior and interior have an awesome energy and the no-frills barbecue is straightforward and delicious. They're not doing too much - They're doing just enough. Best barbecue in DC in my opinion.

The beef rib was excellent--tender, flavorful, and priced just right. The brisket was a bit on the dry side and definitely better with sauce, while the pork belly stood out as the stronger option between the two. The mac & cheese was a straight 10/10 and easily one of the best bites of the meal. Overall, solid BBQ with a few real highlights.

Was excited to go back to this establishment after many years. I saw on social media that they had their version of McRibs, so I had to make a drive out there. I go the FedRib, cheddar mac and cheese, coleslaw, and their street corn salad. FedRib sandwich was great but was little bit too salty, but the key to making it taste was putting their coleslaw into the sandwich for the perfect balance. I also really liked their mac and cheese and their street corn. Bbq sauces they offer were on point too. Only reason they get a star ... read more

Recently went with a group of six and the food is so much better than I remembered! We ordered the pitmaster special for two and it was easily split among four people. Food came out quickly and everything is self serve which is great - you get your own bbq sauce, plenty of napkins, wet wipes, and even take out containers. Only dislike was the special I ordered - bbq jalapeño popper wontons were just nothing special and thus not worth the price. They also charge a 3% service charge with the expectation to tip for counter s... read more
