2fifty Texas BBQ, K St.

Clean and accessible location. Texas vibes without trying too hard. Friendly, gracious service. Warmth permeating the atmosphere on a cold January day. Food is some of the best BBQ I have ever had. I lived in Texas almost a decade. I always go to the “best” BBQ places when I go back to visit. Now… I don’t need to hop in a plane to enjoy the real deal heavenly dishes.

We made the trip into town for takeout from 2fifty, based on stellar reviews and the fact they provided free meals to federal employees during the recent government shutdown. Food was absolutely amazing! Loved the chopped brisket sandwich with spicy bbq sauce. So good we bought an extra bottle and a block of smoked feta, too. My husband raved about his sliced wagyu brisket with sides of both mac and cheese and potato salad. Just delish! Staff were fantastic and place was immaculate. It’s walking distance from my office, so we will be back for lunch!

As I have said many times, food preferences are subjective and therefore this review is based solely on my taste buds. I could wait to try their food based on their reviews. We had trays of food, pineapple, Mac n cheese, a variety of meats, corn bread, cucumbers and tomatoes salad, beans, etc. there was very little we didn’t order and it came to $690! They forgot the brisket however. The barbecue was not what I consider barbecued but I wasn’t aware that it wasn’t traditional south US barbecue so that is my fault. What I did not like: the pork ribs were tough and lacking flavor. The corn bread was sub par. Rhe sausage was heavily breaded and soft and the shredded lamb lacked a distinctive flavor. The chicken quarters were not enjoyable and lacked flavor. The Mac n cheese was the worst I’ve

A local bar tender told me this was the best texas bbq in the area. Told them I was a texan born and raised and they gave me fantastic service and hooked it up! They were very attentive and happy to help and answer questions. The wagyu brisket was spot on. Passed fold test, great smoke ring, and excellent bark. Had everything your looking for and tasted like candy. Highly recommend y'all check it out.

We’ve been to their Maryland location which was out of this world and happened to be in DC and wanted to try as well. Smaller than their other location, and they have TVs that show where the smokers are which i thought was pretty cool. Here the beef ribs are by the pound, not like Maryland location where it’s a set price but my oh my those beef ribs are SOOO freaking good. Fell right off the bone!! The brisket beans had so much flavor and were cooked to perfection as was the mac and cheese! My fiance hates mac and cheese and even she said that was really good! The only thing that tasted a little bit different was the brisket tamales, they may have changed the recipe don’t really taste the Salvadoran in them anymore
