Behrad EatsApril 21, 2016If you're bold enough, order the massive The Belly Buster sandwich which consists of smoked bologna, 1/2 lb pulled pork, 1/2 lb chopped brisket, mac & cheese, and topped with candied bacon.
The place is a little bit on the dark side. Now get the burnt ends and the baby back ribs with the dry rub. Try the hush puppies and I do believe you will be happy.
Taylor HowardJuly 4, 2014Great new addition to Cleveland park. Six different kinds of BBQ sauce including Alabama white sauce. Thorough menu and all the usual sides. Check it out !- The Cuban sandwich is delicious. The turkey is tender and juicy!
Amy RJuly 13, 2014Nice addition to Cleveland Park. Did take out- Brisket sandwich was tasty, potato salad and collard were great additions. Price point is reasonable.
nemo sergesJune 27, 2016The pulled pork sandwich I had was really great but a little cooler than I expected it to be.
Mike KleinJuly 3, 2014Good addition to the Strip. A little work needed on the management front, however, it's still early days. Side note, the AC is set to zero (Kelvin).
Great meats AND great sides. Mix and match the sauces and smoked meats.
Andrew DollOctober 21, 2014Decent BBQ place, but not the best. While the ribs were good and they offer 6+ BBQ sauces on the side, ribs only offered dry rub or honey BBQ as the base - neither of which were too flavorful.
Amanda WisecarverDecember 22, 2016Service was terrible. But the good was good and they have an awesome bar, if you wanna go after the zoolights.
Courtney (Davis) BurgwynAugust 9, 2014They were out of collared greens which was disappointing, unless I wanted to wait an hour. Food came out very quickly- BBQ pulled chicken wasn't really hot. Green beans and baked beans were good.
Rotimi A. WilliamsJuly 7, 2014Quite average. Service is good and sauces are decent. Prices are fair. I'd say unremarkable but I'm not that much of an asshole.
Tanya BellAugust 4, 2024Looked great online, but not in reality. No turkey, on-tap beer/ciders out of order, out of a bunch of cans too. Food wasn't bad, but not great. The bathrooms were positively disgusting.
Daniel NJuly 4, 2014Priced too high for small potato roll sandwiches. 7 buck small mason jar drafts is a joke for a dive. Food was average at best. Cold sides shouldn't have been served. Fingers crossed they cop on

"WashPo #2 Best DC BBQ '19: lean-side brisket stretch like an accordion; Pitmaster loves spice: Juicy chppd pork almost stings w/heat, while spare ribs have black-pepper bite that needs to be respected"
