The delicious BBQ Sampler for 2 is enough for 3 or 4 people consisting of a 1/2 slab of ribs, pulled pork, brisket, 2 sausages, and 1/2 a BBQ chicken along with 4 sides to choose from.

This is one of the best restaurants in DC. Great meat/bbq selections and an extensive vegan menu. Fantastic beer and whiskey selection; amazing carrot cake. Do have the cheese grits.

The food and beer are not surprisingly excellent, but the hidden gems are the hot sauces they make in house. I highly recommend maple habanero, and the "do not die" sauce. Spicy, but huge on flavor.

The mashed potatoes here are heaven. So are the grits. And the vegan spare ribs (even my meat-eating friends will order them, they’re that good). You can’t go wrong here, basically.

Things get crazy in Adams Morgan, but this place maintains a low key, laid back vibe. Great beer selection and mild pricing make this a good option when not looking to deal with huge crowds.

Feast on barbecue with a side of bourbon at this Adams Morgan restaurant. There's also rye, Scotch, and a short list of whiskey cocktails. Read more

Everything was delicious. From the nachos with veggie chili, the vegan wings, and the oat burger, this place did not disappoint. Highly recommend for vegetarians.

Come after 8pm on Mondays for Washington Psychotronic Film Society (WPFS)! The weekly event screens strange B-movies from the forgotten past. There are door prizes and goodies too!

All good. Deserves its ranking with great beer selection, excellent bourbon and very good BBQ.
MaxApril 17, 2016
Definitely one of the best & creative beer lists in DC. Check out the space downstairs. The people behind the bar are awesome.
Jon MayfieldNovember 12, 2017
Impressive vegan options and excellent meat options. Jalapeño grit cakes are a must.

Amazingly variety of vegan / vegetarian options as well as decent pulled pork and brisket. Good whisky selection as well. The nachos are huge.

Everything about this place is amazing. Taco Tuesday is the best deal in town and the food is awesome. Craft Countdown on the weekends is great too.

Taco Tuesdays makes the whole day worth it. Definitely go BBQ style w/ their amazing cheddar jalapeño grits. Brunch is also killer!

You must order the fried pickles. MUST. Slender slivers of barely-battered, delicately salty perfection. They look like wee potato chips but are 10x more awesome. I crave them (and nothing else here).

TT Tip: Brisket, Pork eggrolls, fried okra, Brooklyn Manhattan (Bklyn Lager w/shot of caramel-tinged Old Overholt, a dash of sweet vermouth), or Governor Hall (Woodford Reserve w/Gubna Imperial IPA).

Excellent fried pickles and delicious bbq platters. Great place to bring vegan friends!
LaurenAugust 12, 2012
Delicious pulled pork and awesome jalapeño grits! Only downside: I paid $2 per refill of Diet Coke, something I didn't know until the check came! I'd definitely go back soon though.
The Brew NoobAugust 10, 2015
While this BBQ joint is best known for it's food, they also feature a great selection of beer, which is always the perfect pairing with BBQ!
Kalyna DurbakApril 11, 2014
Excellent beer selection! Stick with taster size to enjoy more types of beer in one sitting. Veggie chili is spicy and filling.

All the meat here is actually smoked w/ reclaimed bourbon barrels and is closest in style to Memphis. Claim the goodness in the espresso-rubbed beef brisket and pulled pork shoulder. Read more

Don't miss the brisket. Rubbed with ground coffee, then smoked with hickory and disassembled bourbon barrels, the meat is husky but sweet: Read more

The Bitches Say: B-. We would go back if we were local and really craving meat in our brunch. Winner of the Bitches' Worst Place for Vegetarians and Best Barbecue awards for 2013!

The "sampler for 2" is seriously enough for 4 people and is $42. Delicious!!!
SahraJuly 8, 2013
Loves this place! Soo many delicious vegan options and an amazing selection of whiskey! Friendly and hip staff, too!

The cuisine (Southern cookout) and decor (barrels, barn doors) might seem a little rustic here, we can assure you that the attention to detail is anything but. Read more

If you come with a small group, get the platter! Brisket is very good — solid DC bbq
Manu VethNovember 20, 2016
Great bourbons and BBQ food. Ask the waiter for bourbons they will suggest something amazing.
Chris HigginbothamJuly 8, 2013
Great food, great beer, great staff! Bring a group and go for the sampler, but don't be too ambitious; the servings are huge.
Jimmy AbiNovember 21, 2014
Tried the player for one. Good thing you can choose how much BBQ sauce you want on the meat. Great customer service too.
Samantha Solleveld PepiAugust 3, 2013
Awesome little place! The BBQ style tacos are delish (and cheap!)
Kyle RohdeSeptember 28, 2013
Really solid BBQ (this coming from a Kansas City resident) and a fantastic beer selection - love this joint.
Josh BassettMarch 4, 2015
Good barbecue and really good beer selection as well.

Great BBQ joint. Vegan and non veg friendly. The "muddy style" BBQ wings!
Kaarin VembarSeptember 14, 2012
Most surprising thing here - the veggie options are great! Recommend the sweet potato burger - it's excellent.

The vegan ribs were just simply amazing. So we're the jalapeño cheddar grit cakes.
