The sweet potatos were a bit undercooked.

Food is usually on point especially the brisket. Brussel sprouts are tasty as well. Good and kind staff. I visit a few times a year.

Honestly, this was the worst brisket I've ever had. Cold, tough and chewy. No smoke ring, barely any bark. I've been here a few years ago, before the expansion, and the brisket was awesome. Hopefully it's an isolated case, but I won't be back for quite some time. Disappointed.

The brisket was dry and cut so thick. Pork was no taste. Ribs was ok. Brussel sprouts was good.

Raised in Oklahoma, I was obviously surrounded by unbelievably delicious meats. If a family member passed away, folks would drop off incredible brisket by the pounds. I was spoiled by all the tremendous BBQ! As a routine Federalist Pig customer, I must say they consistently deliver excellent BBQ with all the fixings including a superb variety of lip smacking sauces! So, wake the neighbors, take the dog, get on your horse and ride as fast as they will take you to the Federalist Pig and get some of that mouth watering, paper towel wiping, good ole BBQ. You won’t be disappointed!
Maybe because it was so early on Sunday place was nearly empty. A TV or two for sports would be nice ?
Parking: I am from suburb of Houston, Texas, so being in crowded cities I guess it’s par for the course.

I recently tried Federalist Pig and ordered the 6 wings, green beans, and baked beans. The wings were cooked to perfection with a nice variety of sauces, each adding a unique flavor twist. Both beans had a spicy kick; the baked beans seemed to have a hot sauce edge that I enjoyed, while the green beans could have used a bit more seasoning to balance out the spice.
My man ordered the Dino Rib and brisket. The Dino Rib was massive—a definite eye-catcher—but he thought it was a bit like an exaggerated roast. The brisket, he rated a 6/10: tender and moist but didn’t quite stand out without the addition of sauce.
The ambiance threw me off a bit, as it's styled like a Texas food hall, which was new for a BBQ spot here, but it made for a unique experience. Overall, I’d say it’s worth another visit, especially for the wings and that intriguing spice!

We love bbq, and Federalist Pig didn't disappoint. Simple clean space, super moist pulled pork, and brisket was perfect. Ribs were smoky and fall right off the bone. Even the slaw was crunchy and well seasoned. To make it even better, David who took our order was awesome! Full of personality, helping/talking to everyone. All around good experience, definetly recommend!
I would give this 10 stars if I could. Most amazing BBQ experience from the food to the rustic homely vibe of the eating area. Chris behind the counter gave me recommendations and he couldn’t have been more helpful. Love this place, would come back to DC for this alone. Period.
