Everything. All day everyday. Brisket Champ, Meaty Palmer, the Den Den - eat them all. Also, the wings are borderline addicting, get at least a 10 spot or you'll regret it.

Order the Brisket Champ sandwich. It starts with 'master's level brisket' stacked onto buttery Texas toast and topped with vinegar-loaded house-made pickles and crispy buttermilk-battered onions. Read more

This place is is hard to find. Follow the pig into the social club door. Best BBQ I've ever had. Brisket is a must but also the rib tips. Can't recommend enough. Sandwiches are dope

The Brisket Champ with fatty cuts of brisket, crispy onions and housemade pickles on buttered toast is ridiculous. The wings are borderline addicting, too - get at least 10 or you'll regret it.

Get a fat-tastic sandwich on Texas toast called the Meaty Palmer: smoked turkey gets flavor bombed with slabs of pork belly, smashed avocado and jalapeno aioli. Tell everyone you had turkey for lunch. Read more

Tasty place, with very distracted guys that are working there. Be aware and compare your order with menu. I realized I was missing ribs, too late. On the pic BBQ platter(should be with ribs).

Brisket, BBQ, and smoked wings are GREAT. Service with a smile type of atmosphere makes you want to come back again and again. I like how they have a "food made ready" approach. Food is always fresh!

The Hector Burger might be one of the most serious burgers you will eat. Two 4oz patties, chipotle aioli, smoked brisket chili, crispy onion rings and pickles.

Friendly staff and amazing food. The brisket and pork ribs were excellent. Chicken wings were the unexpected surprise - absolutely amazing. Finish it off with a pie! Only thing missing is sweet tea.

The waits are long but the sweet sweet smoked meats are worth it. Great sides too. Go early, as the most popular dishes sell out.

Super friendly and attentive service 👌 came at night when I can only imagine the meat's been lamping it up, but the brisket was still ultra tender and the fried onions gave a crispy counterbalance.

Staff is good about moving folks around to accommodate a large group. Once you're seated, order the picnic basket and start pre-cutting that paper towel roll into sheets because you're gonna need 'em.

The pie is incredible, and the service is great. They gave me a sample of cinnamon almond pie just for walking in, and it was absolutely delicious. Great BBQ too. 5 stars!

Eat everything. The ribs and the brisket are divine. The BBQ sauce is the right amount of sweet and heat. The green chili chedder grits are a knockout. Lots of heat.
John KApril 9, 2015
The brisket is some of the best I've ever had! Pork tips and dry rub wings are good as well. While they're looking to expand, this is a takeout place with 6 small bar seats.

I'm a regular and there is nothing I don't like! I even look forward to seeing and talking to the guys that work there. Try the meatyPalmer it's slap yo left thigh good!

The collard greens were great!! Brussels sprouts were a daily special and were shaved and fried in butter, not to my liking.

Very tasty (rich) brisket. Grab it to go & have a picnic in nearby Crispus Attucks park
Chelsea RaabApril 29, 2014
If you have any intelligence at all you will drop every thing you are doing and go here. Now.

"Meaty Palmer" is the 2nd best sandwich I've eaten in DC. I was born and raised in DC.

Really enjoyed the brisket sandwich. Adding in the pickle and fried onion was awesome.
Kevin CyrusNovember 13, 2013
The ribs, brisket and wings are all winners. VERY good food. VERY limited seating.
R Derrick ThomasMarch 22, 2018
Decent bbq but only when it’s fresh. If you go at off-peak times they serve meat which has been sitting under heat lamps and is tough and dried out.
Taylor HarrisApril 25, 2019
The smoked wings, brisket and spicy collard greens.
Matt SyskaApril 30, 2016
5/5 stars. Best BBQ in DC. Get the Brussel Sprouts.
