Nothing says summertime eats like barbecue, whether that’s piled-high ribs, chicken slathered in homemade sauce or tender pulled pork. It’s all made even better with sides like watermelon, cornbread and pasta salad.
These classic American eats might be comfort foods, but they’re not easy to perfect. However, these Washington, D.C. restaurants have done just that! Check out these local eateries for a savory taste of summer.
2fifty’s, located at 1309 5th St NE, Washington, D.C. which is only a six minute drive from your RESA apartment, serves all-wood smoked meats in a variety of formats at the Union Market on a casual, first-come, first-serve basis.
All of their meats are wood-smoked in their smokehouse at Riverdale Park with two 1000-gallon smokers made by Primitive Pits and custom designed by 2fifty’s. Every dish of brisket, sausage, pulled pork and ribs is individually prepared. They make the right choices on each cut, from selection, trimming, smoking to serving. They’ve also been named on Tim Carman’s 2020’s list of Best BBQ in D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
Smokin’ Pig, located at 1208 H St NE, Washington, D.C. which is just a hop, skip and jump from your RESA apartment at only eight minutes away, provides a laid-back atmosphere with serious barbecue. Hang out and have a drink at their open-air pick- up window while you wait for takeout or join inside at the bar for craft cocktails at their bourbon and whiskey bar.
Smokin’ Pig’s recipes and smoking techniques are nods to the best and most mouth-watering regional BBQ traditions from Carolina style slow smoked pork to their juicy Texas brisket. They have something for the barbecue lover in all of us!
