20 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Washington

“Enjoyed my meal tonight. Friendly and superb service from David!“

“This my first time here and it was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had at a bar in DC . I’ll definitely be back for my birthday next week. Love the atmosphere“

“I decided to give this place a try this past weekend. I ordered the Swachos to-go, and they were absolutely outstanding. The cheese on top was delicious, some of the best I've had. I was only there a short time, but met some people who invited me to a nightclub. I'm glad I chose this place and highly recommend the Swachos. The only drawback was that it was hard to access, due to the extreme traffic of people in the area.“

“Great food and beer. Awesome service“

“It's a very unique place, with a country style, and the space is very spacious.
The food is delicious; the ribs are highly recommended, and the portions are generous.
It has a side bar, and the mac and cheese is delicious.“

“Great Spot! You’ll really like it!“

“I was super hungry and saw BBQ and Boba. My first reaction was confusion as to the combo, but after realizing that I and many other people like both, I asked no further questions and followed my grumbling stomach. I am VERY glad that I did! Atmosphere is sparce and simple. You go in, get your food, and find a place to eat it, but it feels appropriate for this style of food- equal parts bbq shack and boba stand. I got the brisket sandwich, which was a very generous portion of supremely tender BBQ with a complimentary sauce and even a bottle of water which seems to just come with the order (nice touch). The stand out to me was how tender the brisket was. Packed with flavor, and not a single bite was remotely dry. The cinnamon toast Boba was delicious and a fantastic compliment. The staff friendly and attentive. Please support this place!!!“

“I Highly recommend this restaurant. I had Mother’s Day dinner here and it was AMAZING! The food was great and the customer service was Top tier. The manager Edin was attentive and friendly. My entire family enjoyed ourselves. I will definitely dine with those guys again in the future. Small parties and Large parties are Welcomed. 2 👍🏾 Up.“

“I recently placed my second order of cocktails to go with Premier Cocktail, and it was another grown, sexy and tasty hit. This time, I gifted the limited edition fall flavors--Apple Cider Sangria and Vanilla Pear Punch, along with the Lemonberry Crush, to a few friends. They absolutely loved them! One said the vanilla pear punch was "BOMB" and the other said the apple cider sangria and lemonberry crush were "good, strong and sweet, just how I like". I myself enjoyed the lemonberry crush and mango crush from my first order. I'm not much of a drinker, so to have something that tastes great with a nice, smooth kick, is just what I need to unwind with some music and a good book sometimes. I highly recommend Premier Cocktail. The drinks are amazing, the orders, whether 2 or 4 bottles, are pwell-packaged and delivered in a timely fashion and the prices are just right. If you need gift ideas or want to add something unique and great to your bar collection, do yourself a favor and order up!“

“I eat at Iron Age every time I pass through DC. It is an awesome experience with great food. The price is also very good at $30 for 90 minutes. I just can't order the shrimp because it is whole shrimp with eyes and all.“

“We used the BBQ Bus for a work event this past week and they did a great job! The food was hot, fresh and came out fast.They have been a pleasure to work with from the start of planning this event. We had to change dates due to Covid and the owners worked with us. Excellent customer service.We will be using them again!“

“We went there for Thursday birthday lunch.. Mayada asked us if there is any special occasion ( we were 5) as soon as we asked for the check she surprised us with a velvet cake .. was very good experience with food, drinks and service.. gonna come back soon“

“Absolutely out of this world BBQ! Great service, friendly staff! I wish I lived in DC so I could come back on a regular basis!! Get you some!“

“The BBQ here is exceptional! You might think going to a BBQ spot would be all heavy meats but not the case here. The dish I had was their special grilled salmon burger with blueberry BBQ sauce, I cannot even begin to explain how delicious it was! As well as the smoked then fried wings. Probably the best wings in the city! They were also exceptionally hospitable in providing vegan options for a friend, and accommodating an 8 person walk-in party with little to no wait time. Just note the specials sell out quickly so I recommend going on the earlier side.

Vegetarian options: They were able to accommodate a friend who only eats vegan food, I wouldn't say they have a lot of options, but a couple of good choices despite being known for smoked meats.“

“I've been going to Hogs on the Hill for years. I always get the Wild Combo and it comes with pulled pork, minced beef, ribs, chicken, corn bread, and 2 sides. You can't beat that. It is now $19.95 for a small which is plenty of food. Their prices haven't changed much over the years.“

“I'm a proud Royal Rooster regular and the food is always superb. I'm particularly fond with the Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich. The family that runs the restaurant are extremely welcoming and hospitable. I always feel at home when dining.“

“When I entered the restaurant I was greeted with a friendly smile. I got my food to go and the cashier gave me a cup so I could get some water while I waited for my food. I’ve ordered two rib dinners with collards, pork & beans, and Cornbread with pepper jelly. The beans I could do without, my mother liked the beans. Everything else was Good Eats!“

“Feel welcome. Nelson is amazing“

“PJ hooked us up, We went with house recommendations of brisket, baby back, and a stacked grilled cheese. We closed with Woody's favorite of banana pudding. .'Twas highly flavourful folks, highly flavourful indeed.“
