There is something so satisfying about perfectly cooked ‘cue on a hot summer day. Next time a craving for perfect barbecue strikes, head to 2Fifty Texas BBQ. They specialize in wood-smoked barbecue and indulgent sides that will have you begging for more after just one bite. Earning mentions as a must-try new eatery in publications like Eater DC and the Washington Post, their food is no joke!

If you want to ensure you get exactly what you want, you can pre-order in advance before your visit. On any given day they’ll have a different menu depending on what they’re cooking up that day and they run on a first-come, first-served basis and sell until they run out. Favorites include their prime brisket made with USDA-certified black Angus beef from Creekstone Farms or their Wagyu brisket which always sells out quick or their foot-long beef ribs. Sometimes they’ll also offer specials like Salvadorian pupusas filled with meats for a little fusion action. Make sure to try the brisket beans and caramelized pineapple for your sides.

They also have a stall in Union Market if you prefer to head to that location for their tasty barbecue!
