Been having this place on my list for a minute. Let's just say it could have stayed on the list. It was okay. Nothing to rave about. Our meats were lukewarm when we got our food. The pork belly was really good. The wings were okay. The brisket burnt ends didn't have the texture of brisket. They really seemed to be sauced chuck roast as they were very chewy with little bark. The mac and cheese was okay, definitely needed more seasoning and cheese. The pulled pork was alright. The Brussels were good. Overall- we'd give it a... read more

Rated as the best in DC and lived up to its reputation. Relaxed atmosphere. Cafeteria style restaurant. You pick up your order yourself so there is no table service. I ordered the 2+ 2 combo. 2 meat and 2 sides. I got pork ribs and brisket burnt ends. It comes with 2 slices Texas toast and homemade pickles. I did not use sauce because it didn't need it. The meat melts in your mouth and is well seasoned and slightly spicy. For the sides I had roasted Brussel sprouts and green beans. Huge portions expertly prepared. Couldn't ... read more

Came here for dinner after work and it did NOT disappoint. I love that on top of having classic BBQ platters, there are also so many unique sandwiches and starters to choose from - it really makes Federalist stand out from the crowd! I loved all of the sauces, with Sticky Garlic and Mild BBQ being my favorites. It's not easy to find amazing BBQ outside of the south, but this spot really does it well. The service was also incredible, everyone on the staff was quick and so nice. This is going to be one of my go-to spots when I... read more

Let the racks of wood tell you that Federalist Pig takes their smoke seriously. With the family of four meal we had a tour that included brisket, pulled pork shoulder, smoked turkey breast and the smoked chicken. For sides we have the smoked Mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, bbq beans, and red potato salad. It was a great spread of what they do best. Very good brisket and we choose wet. A serious bbq place that asks you how you like your meat. Some serious sides and a stand out was the bbq beans. Staff worked fast a... read more

This is my favorite/ go to restaurant in Adams Morgan. We live in the neighborhood and have trouble finding options that don't end up being overly expensive if you want a filling meal. This place is great because you get great portions, delicious food (as much sauce as you want!), and good deals. If you're looking for the best bang for your buck get the 1/2 shredded pork shoulder by itself for ~$13 (such a good deal for this area!). If you want sides/ some of the more expensive meat go with getting one of the combo meals - ... read more

Absolutely loved this BBQ spot! The brisket was tender, smoky, and full of flavor. Ribs fell right off the bone, and the pulled pork was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The sides were just as impressive--especially the mac and cheese and baked beans. Staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Clean environment with a cozy, laid-back vibe. Prices were fair for the quality and portions. I'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend if you're craving real, delicious BBQ!

So good! The guys running the place were so nice. The beer was delicious and cold. We brought 3 kids and they all loved it. The oxtail empanadas were one of the greatest things we've ever tasted.
