Got the BBQ platter for 2 with brisket, pork belly, ribs, Mac n cheese and brussel sprouts. Highly recommend! The meats were smoked to perfection and had the right amount of fall apart to the touch. The bark was delicious on the meats, the ribs were toothsome.
Others in our group ordered sandwiches, they were good, but best buy is the platter for 2!!
FIRST-RATE BBQ EXPERIENCE - Thoroughly enjoyed an Easter lunch during our first visit here,... Pulled pork, brisket, rib tips, and lamb were all moist and flavorful; excellent in terms of quality of cuts, preparation and presentation. Sides were delicious also; Green Beans had a nice “kick” and the Mac ‘n Cheese a mild smoky quality which enhanced - but didn’t overwhelm - the cheesy flavor. Keep in mind - the sides are distinctly unique with obvious consideration and experience to refine,... (If you’re looking for ordinary, “safe” versions of classic sides, stick with a chain restaurant.) Available seating is rare, but, based on the continual stream of customers, there will never be sufficient quantity to satisfy demand, so be prepared to “carry out”. The entire staff, from owner Rob to the preparers and including the “floor-walker” who continually checked at tables and interacted with incoming patrons, were all friendly, responsive, and entirely hospitable. (Sitting near the counter, we couldn’t help noticing the friendly manner with which Rob and his staff continually welcomed and responded to all customers.) If you’re ever in the Mount Pleasant area of DC and have an urge for a great bbq meal, I strongly encourage a visit to this comfortable but lively place, just off the “beaten path” of 16th Street, NW. (Thanks, nice going, and best wishes, Rob Sonderman!)
This was my first time there and believe me, it definitely won't be the last. Everything from the food, the service, the employees was on point. I highly recommend Federalist Pig 🐷!! See you soon!!
