“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“

“Our order came to us like a beautiful piece of artwork on canvas! Everything we tried was excellent - dino rib (stand out), wagyu brisket, pastrami brisket (which is a specials!) and sides! Service was friendly and lovely and everyone is clearly so proud of their food. And parking is ample and free, what more do you need to convince you to come and try!“

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

“When I tell you that’s I’ve been looking for some good authentic bbq, I have! And, I’ve been disappointed up until now. I decided to give DCity Smokehouse a try. I got the smoked wings, ribs, and collards. The meats has a nice REAL smoked flavor, seasoned to perfection, and the collards were on point. I look forward to trying more food items from the menu. I highly recommend!“

“What a wonderful experience! The staff is attentive and friendly with great recommendations! We had the juicy and flavorful brisket, the pulled lamb with corn chips (my favorite), and some perfectly smoked ribs.

Favorite sides were the Zesty Salad, Potato Salad, and Mac and Cheese!“

“Great food and beer. Awesome service“

“Five + Stars. The crew in Greenbelt were exceptional. Had a party catered and an item of food was forgotten. The manager immediately had the item delivered to my house along with an extra side. The guests raved about the food. Greenbelt Mission BBQ will be my number one place for party food. Thanks to all who work there.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

I’ve been coming to 193 Barbecue for over ten years, and it’s still my favorite spot. The quality has never changed — it’s always consistent, always fresh, and always hits the spot. Their steak is honestly the best I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked every single time.

The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the food portions are worth every penny. This is one of those rare places that’s stayed great for a whole decade. Highly recommend!“

“they have the best stuffed turkey legs in town“

“Has a great time. Had a party of ten and were seated immediately. The servers and host were so nice. Coming from Florida, they made us feel at home. Food was delicious!!“

“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.“

“The best taste in the area Their food is my go to period. Ribs are really fully cooked in the grill. Some imitators be boiling and throw some BBQ sauce on it like we don't know no better. Rolling Rib 2 be doing they thing. wish they opened all year.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Salmon BLT I’ve ever had! Will come back!“

“Great food- we had coffees, a breakfast burrito and the avocado toast - it was the perfect morning stop. Sitting outside on the patio was perfect and Rishard, our waiter, was so welcoming- great sevice and recommendations. We’ll be back!“

“This place has authentic Dominican cuisine. Very limited in their buffet options though. Their seasoning is very much like back home, so much savoring and delicious meals. It almost made me feel like I was eating out of my grandma's kitchen 😋. Highly recommend stopping by and getting a plate hear.“

“Good portion sizes and prepared fresh at your table. Music videos were cool and gave insight into the music culture in Korea. The bench seats are HARD! And the automatic tip added to my bill as usual sets me off. Limited dessert menu. I will go back to try the galbi next.“

“The food was amazing. My favorite were the collard greens. My husband and I weren't extremely hungry so we ordered a few items and shared them. His favorite were the Burnt ends. Great flavor and super tender. Prices are fair.
The outside seating area was absolutely perfect. It is covered with walls that open up to the outside so you still feel like you are outside.
Perfect for a date night. The drinks were a perfect blend. There were some food items that were strictly on the bar menu so we will have to go back to try them.
I feel like the atmosphere is more for adults not children.
Parking garage is close by.“

“I used Smoke Shack to cater my husband’s 50th birthday celebration, and I am so glad I did! Everyone raved about the food.

Before my event, I stopped in to do a tasting, and the staff was extremely attentive. They allowed me to taste the different items and actually asked how I would like things seasoned or adjusted for my event. I really appreciated that level of attention and their willingness to make sure the food was prepared the way I wanted it.

We ordered fried chicken wings, grilled chicken, baked beans, green beans seasoned with smoked turkey, and macaroni and cheese. The fried chicken wings were full-sized, seasoned well, and a huge hit. The grilled chicken was also delicious, and the barbecue sauce complemented it perfectly.

Everyone LOVED the macaroni and cheese—it was well-seasoned, flavorful, and definitely one of the favorites. I had also read a few reviews saying the baked beans were bland, but that was nothing close to our experience. The baked beans were rich, flavorful, and seasoned very well.

During my tasting, I specifically requested that the green beans be seasoned with smoked turkey, and they did not disappoint. The green beans were a hit as well!

The trays were full of food, the portions were generous, and the catering was a huge success for my husband’s 50th birthday. Our guests continued to compliment the food throughout the event.

My only recommendation would be to make sure catering orders are ready at the scheduled pickup time. I scheduled my order for 2:30 p.m., and there was a slight wait when I arrived. Thankfully, the delay did not interfere with the start time of my event, and once we tasted the food, it was definitely worth the wait!

I’ll admit I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but my experience was overwhelmingly positive. The staff was attentive, the food was delicious, and our guests were very happy. I will absolutely be using Smoke Shack again and highly recommend them for your catering needs!“

“This review is only for the SMOKED WINGS. They are the best in the DMV for more than 20 years. It’s all I get. With the spicy bbq sauce (and I don’t even like barbecue sauce—seriously). Do yourself a favor and give them a try if you’re ever in the vicinity. FYI: It is a carry-out (grab and go).🛍️

Note: I’ve had a few sides that are fine, but I’ll say you be the judge. However, the mac and cheese is trash. Kraft box-ish. I would never.“

“We are faith based church with lots of love to spread in our community.“

“Sarap ng food at mga kakanin nila dito 😋😋😋“

“We had a wonderful experience at the cafe. The food was delicious! The service was amazing! The staff were both friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the Fried chicken sandwich, and the fried chicken Caesar wrap. We will definitely return.“

“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.“

“Great food: both cream of crab and vegetable crab soup -- delish as well as just about everything else. 5/5 Think "Cheers" in the neighborhood.“

“I had the brisket, ribs, baked beans and cole slaw. The brisket practically melts and was so delicious. The ribs were great too. Tried several of the sauces. I like the mustard & the origins sauce best. Meal was big enough to ask for a doggie bag to finish it later on.“

“Feel welcome. Nelson is amazing“

“Stopped by after attending Elevation church and so glad we finally get to try your food. Food so good made my eyes water! We live an hour away but will be back!“

“Great drinks and cool bar low key but also fun.“

“The Chicken wings here at bbq Chicken and so scrumptious. They're consistently mouth watering and finger licking special. In particular is this the so with the honey garlic. The flavors and the cook are perfectly balanced. They're maybe a dollar more than say Wingstop, but oh man it's worth it and more. Can't go wrong with bbq Chicken.“

“When I tell you that’s I’ve been looking for some good authentic bbq, I have! And, I’ve been disappointed up until now. I decided to give DCity Smokehouse a try. I got the smoked wings, ribs, and collards. The meats has a nice REAL smoked flavor, seasoned to perfection, and the collards were on point. I look forward to trying more food items from the menu.

“Great place to go to during a football game...most def try the egg rolls very very good!!! and there wings at on point also all the people that work there are friendly!!!“

“We stopped for lunch yesterday after leaving the zoo. The aroma when we opened the door hooked us from the start. Our waiter, Courtland, was amazing and took excellent care of us. His recommendations were spot on. The food came out hot, fast and delicious. I have no idea when I’ll be back in DC again, but I know where I’ll want to eat when I am.“

“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.“

“It's authentic Jamaican jerk. I had the large jerk chicken platter with rice & peas, cabbage and plantains and it was excellent. It was a giant portion and I was only able eating about half of it. I will definitely be back!“

“Great ribs.Potato salad was fine.Drive from upper Marlboro.going 15 yrs“

“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.“

“Mr C and team created an amazing meal for my birthday. Even my picky eater son was devouring the food. Will definitely be back!!!!“
