“Zane was my waiter and he provided the most kind and patient service. I’ve ever had here and I come here often.“

“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!“

“Great food and beer. Awesome service“

“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“

“Usually the ribs are pretty good but sometimes the chicken is dry. It is hard to figure out when is a good time to visit.

The corn bread is really solid. I wish I knew the macros ob this. Also, it seems expensive at times.“

“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.“

“they have the best stuffed turkey legs in town“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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.“

“My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine’s Day to celebrate our anniversary and ordered the $89 menu. Overall, we had a really nice experience. The wagyu and oysters were amazing, and the drinks were so good. The desserts were honestly some of the best I’ve had at any KBBQ spot, which really stood out to me.

We had about two or three different servers helping us, but the Asian woman who mainly took care of our table was especially great. She was super kind, attentive, and made sure we got everything we needed. She really helped make the night feel special.

The only downside was that the food took a while to come out between courses. At one point it seemed like one of our dishes might have been taken to the wrong table or forgotten. It did not seem like it was her fault though as it was a different server who took the order.“

“Is this the best BBQ or will it stack up to high quality BBQ from places like make their identity their BBQ? No, but it is still tasty and a great option for the Alexandria/DelRay region. However, I think the star of their menu is their crazy taco offerings, some very unique flavors that keep us coming back. Service can be inconsistent at times but overall it is a worthwhile dining experience that is best in the warmer months with outside seating.“

“3 visits in 2024-No smiling, no laughing, just service, not rude and go early.

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

“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 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 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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I never write reviews. This is actually my first one ever. But I just had too for this restaurant. Came in today with a friend for lunch. We were new to the restaurant and the server took time to answer all our questions with great detail about the menu. Food came out fresh and piping hot. I had the build my own bowl option which was delicious and the portion fed me for two meals. Also sampled the empanadas which were also delicious. Made sure to write down the restaurant name and location as I will be back. Delicious food!!!!! Highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“The food was very good, especially for a busy Valentine's Day. However, an automatic 18% gratuity was added for our table of three and wasn't mentioned by our server — we nearly tipped twice before noticing. I'm someone who routinely tips 20%, so clearer communication would have been appreciated. The service was also inattentive, which made the automatic charge frustrating.“

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

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

“Feel welcome. Nelson is amazing“

“I would have to give AC Catering a 5-star rating! The Food was delicious with such variety of choices, and the Service was impeccable! Both George and Michelle were extremely helpful and generous with their time and efforts. Total professionals! This summer, we hired them to cater our children's graduation party as well as our Priests' farewell party at our Chapel. Our guests raved about how delicious the food tasted. We will use them again and would recommend AC Catering to all our friends and family members. A class act!“

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