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
Food was delicious! Service was fantastic! Expected more formal seating and dining. Floor was very slippery and bathroom needs updating. Other than that, great experience!
Great lunch! I had the 2 step that included 2 meats and 2 small side items. I had burnt ends and ribs. Both tasty. Ribs were my favorite. Being from KC I am spoiled with excellent burnt ends at home. Brussel Sprouts and Mac and cheese side items for my sides. Really enjoyed the Brussels. They had several bbq sauces to try that were great. Very clean and reasonable prices. Parking was somewhat of a challenge but not uncommon for this area.
Judging from a takeout order: very enjoyable BBQ! Both the brisket and pork were tender and flavorful. The sauces were nicely vinegary and paired perfectly with the meat. The mac and cheese was enjoyable as well!
good bbq, in november the restaurant is empty and a little dire but in good season it's a warm and cozy spot. food is good bbq. not my specialty so can't say it's rave worry but worth atleast a try by all.
