Brisket was very tough and didn't taste right. Beans did not set well with me. I was hungry and craving beef, but I could not finish even half of the brisket. Oddly, photos of politicians, other prominent guests on the wall, glowing reviews from Washingtonian. Huh?? I guess just one more glaring sign that Washington is out of touch with... more

Listen to the past reviewers who gave this place a thumb down. I did not much to my regret. It's a double insult because you have to pay through the nose to eat mediocre food. For $14 bucks plus tax I got 3 slices of tough and dry brisket and 3 drier than dry ribs. Let's talk about the one... more

Very good BBQ that's served in a very quick and convenient manner. Maybe that's why they fall a little short on quality and freshness. However, for people on the go and short on time, this place is well worth the visit!! more

Everyone raves about this place...but maybe there has been a change of management or something, as my boyfriend and I went there tonight and were REALLY disappointed.
