I tried to contact them about a catering event but they never returned my call or emails. Too bad.

The food is delicious. Mac and cheese, potato salad, collard greens, pulled pork, brisket, it was all cooked to perfection and tasty. My entire office enjoyed it so much, we went back again and again.

I had SmokeDatt BBQ cater my family reunion. Let me tell you...the food was ON POINT!!! I was unsure of what to order for my group because I am always worried I won't have enough food. I was assured the Cookout Package would be more than enough. Not only was everything delicious but the portions were generous. I had nothing to worry about and there was even enough left over for to-go plates. The ordering process was easy and I received prompt confirmation. Delivery was on time and very professional. Every little detail was considered: condiments, utensils, paper products...even serving gloves. The food was reminiscent of what would have been home cooked at my family reunions 30 years ago by my grandmother's generation: savory, well-seasoned, and cooked with love. I can't wait until I can order again just to get some more of that mac and cheese!

Lunch time....Hungry.....Drowsy.Looking for something light. Something that'll wake me up. Oh! Look! Smoke Datt is back in the building.1 Star = It's Not Good2 Stars = Something's Missing3 Stars = It's Ok4 Stars = It's Good5 Stars = it's Bangin!There's one permanent BBQ place and 2 pop-up caterers on rotation/schedule. I'm feeling sluggish, BBQ is the last thing I want. But then the memories of my first Smoke Datt rib returns. It looked dry, but on that day I wanted BBQ, so dry or not I'm Fat Guy from the Spy Who Shagged Me. It was like yesterday when i went in for that bite but OH! Meat falling, tongue rejoicing. Teeth! Be gentle. This bone may look like bark (I'm exaggerating the appearance) but there was no bite. A picture of Smoke Datt may show up in your App Store while looking for something else because it's Tender. It was good, somebody SMOKED DATT with prejudice towards swine. What that pig do to you?!?Fast forward, I don't want bbq because I'm already tired. Ok I give in. 3 bones, My Momma's baked Mac & Cheese (yeah, I know where that recipe came from j/k), Cole Slaw, (I usually get the baked beans) and a Diet Coke. Why diet? I like Diet. Was I tired afterwards? YES! Any regrets? Nope! Would I do it again? See you all next week because Smoke Datt was BANGIN on my taste buds singing baby come back and the meal wasn't even over.I am critic. Oh, 1 more thing. Eat a bone without sauce. True BBQ. Sorry No pictures, next time I'll take pictures before devouring, and update this post with the pics.------I went back. And today, It was hot outside and tropical smoothie was in my mind. What?!? Smoke Datt is back. Ok, let me just get the ribs a la cart to post the pics I promised. I just want the ribs. She smiles and goes in her tiny voice "you don't want any macaroni and cheese?" I go "Nawww," she ask "you sure?".... Give it to me! . You KNOW I want some of THAT........BAKED MAC & CHEESE. "You can get another side".....well it is just $1 more. Ok ok, I haven't tried the green beans. Corn bread please. Paid in disgrace . Ok, I was super busy so I didn't get to my food for 3 hours. Warmed it up and was going to go down stairs to a table. Food smells great. Let me just....before I get to the stairs.....taste this. Oh.....OH. This window seal is just fine . Who needs a chair? Ribs- I don't know what I was on when last time I said that the ribs looked dry. Look at the PICS......Juicy! Why is it so Smokey good. Like seriously, this is what Dave, Mission, Myron Mixon's Pitmaster, and yo Daddy call The End of their manhood. Just close your stores. The second someone backs DATT with some funds. It's OVER. Let the right person get a hold of one of these ribs and watch the meat fall off before he raises it to his mouth. The Mac - Music was playin "Retuuurn of, the Mac!" My life of Mac and Cheese flashed before my eyes. Big bad Wolf BBQ, Rocklands, Famous Dave's, Mission, Chuck Fil A, Myron Mixon's Pitmaster, Sweet fire Donna's (with her burnt ends) my mom's, and my grandma's (I swear my thumbs tripped and this is a typo if someone tells her) for the record, if I ever gave any of those places a 5, I'm sorry, I take it back. There Good - 4 stars at best.The Green Beens - I only got the green bean's because I had a taste for corn bread. I have nothing to say. Just one question. Why are these green beans so GOOD!?! What did you what did you what did you PUT in here? Nooo, green beans don't taste like this. Seasoned perfectly. Not salty, SEASONED. Corn Bread - Mannn, the consistency wasn't like cornbread: it was like corn cake lol. But taste like cornbread, but better. It's like the change in texture just did something for my life. I may have just been extra.....but YOU weren't on that window ledge in the hallway, happy as can be while Colonels, Generals and Secretary's of Defense are walking by, and I'm just

Moving to this area (DC) from NC I was worried that I wouldn't be able to satisfy my tastebuds when it comes to Barbecue. SmokeDatt proved me wrong. I wishI could give at least a million stars.

I needed catering for a Memorial Day weekend birthday party with 30 people and SmokeDatt Barbecue did not disappoint! Guests were going back for seconds and thirds! Everyone raved about how good it was!! If you want some of the best barbecue in the DMV area, definitely order from SmokeDatt Barbecue.

I can not express how GOOD the food at SmokeDatt was! We're from Boston and we don't have BBQ place here or ones that are even good. While looking for a caterer for my sister's baby shower in DC, I found SmokeDatt Barbecue. From the beginning, the owner George was so helpful and not only that honest. We wanted to try almost everything on the menu and this was only for a party of 20 people. He told me that that was way too much food for that amount of people. I loved his honesty. Most people would've taken your order and money. He helped us choose a good amount of food, always quick with responses and overall great customer service. He was also very prompt on his delivery time as well. Now on to the finger licking, amazing food! EVERY SINGLE FOOD CHOICE WAS DELICIOUS! The ribs were so tender, bbq chicken was phenomenal, Mac and cheese, shrimp, mash, brisket, the corn on the cob...I can go on but I'm getting hungry thinking about it! There was not a single negative complaint. The seasoning was there, the flavor, just everything. Most of us never had BBQ besides what we make in our on home but this was everything for first timers and people who've had bbq before. Everyone went for 2nds, 3rds and even 4ths and had nothing but wonderful things to say. I am so happy I found this place and we will definitely be using SmokeDatt again in the future!!

Mr. George DID NOT disappoint me one bit!!!BrisketChicken Ribs Mac n CheeseBaked Beans Green Beans Sweet Potato Pie That dog on strawberry lemon pound cake The packaging was nicely done. The food stayed warm for awhile without tray warmers. The meat was so tender, smoked and seasoned well. I willllll be utilizing Mr. George's services in the near future. My guests and I were very satisfied with our meal. There was so much food, I sent my guests home with an abundance of leftovers.Thanks again Mr. George!!!!!

"These are the best ribs I've ever had" - was said on more than one occasion by our event attendees! Phenomenal barbecue packed and almost immediately ready for serving. We ordered the ribs, chicken, Mac n cheese, and potato salad for a party of 30 and while people certainly got their fill, the portions were plentiful enough where people walked away with some leftovers (too good not to)! Delicious! The staff also had it down with having it ready when we arrived and loading it up quickly. We will be back and you should add them to your bbq rotation!!!
