Federalist Pig

Amazing experience. Different bbq than I have had before. Delicious and tasty. Varieties of sauce were also amazing. Dry ribs are the best. Brisket, rib tips, ribs and chicken were the best tasting offerings plus amazing side like roasted Brussel sprouts, fries, coleslaw, mac and cheese and more... A Must Try!!!

Superbly good BBQ, friendly and excellent service, and a very spacious venue make this a must try in DC. The best thing I tried was the brisket, which I ordered moist, and boy was it succulent and tender. It paired well with the hot bbq sauce. Second best was the jalapeno cheddar sausage, perfect on its own. Last, and while it was fine, I wasn't a huge fan of the ribs. Sides were excellent, from the brussel sprouts to the indulgent mac and cheese. Lots of space from communal picnic table seating to regular tables. I think this spot is up there with 2Fifty, and service is definitely friendlier here. Brisket quality is comparable, and I think the ribs were better at 2Fifty.

This was my first time here and overall, it was a great experience. I went with my family of 4 and we had the Feed the Fam and it was more than enough food. We had the brisket, wings, pulled pork, ribs, French fries, Brussel sprouts, bbq beans, and mac & cheese. My favorites were the wings and the ribs. Both had amazing flavors (rubbed and without sauce) and were cooked beautifully. Their fries were nicely seasoned, and their mac and cheese was also delicious. My least favorite thing I tried was the bbq beans. They had an overpowering celery flavor that I was not a fan of. I don't live in the area, but if I am ever back in the area, I would eat here again.

Great customer service and clean restaurant. I am not a fan of the barbecue. The sides were more flavorful than the meat. Mac and cheese noodles were a bit overcooked and there was a ton of seasoning on it. The brisket was also very fatty. Not to my taste, but great service.
