They are the most welcoming bunch of people! Family owned and generation carried this restaurant has held the Nations Capital down for decades! The most underrepresented business in DC! They are the first to bring real BBQ to the DMV!

Potato salad was tasteless, greens taste like water down glory greens from the can. Seafood salad was a complete disappointment with imitation crabs and is missing real seasoning. Ribs was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Atmosphere needs a face life. Not a place I would hang out for too long. Grab my food and go home to heat.

The best Ribs in the world. The guys in back were killing it. I have discipline myself not to eat here everyday.

One of the best go too and the DMV for ribs cooked in a smoker electric. Nice flavor best in the market. Can’t tell me nothing about them check out my (last) pick (those my ribs)😋 Ask me 😋about the reviews in Dmv Al the Barber

Delicious!! Can I say that one more time...DELICIOUS!!! This was my first but not my last time here. Got a little bit of everything since I didn’t know what to get. The prices are reasonable (affordable). The minced bbq with spicy sauce and coleslaw on the side is the way to go. Get some of those ribs. Mmmmmm. I promise you you won’t be disappointed. Then end it off with some wings. I swear I think they just took them out the grease (in other words they were fresh and hot). This place is a must do. Come. Eat. Enjoy.
