Federalist Pig

I've always passed by their DC location and finally stopped by their MD one. My friends and I ordered the pork ribs, pork belly, brisket burnt ends, moist sliced brisket, pork sausage, brussels sprouts, and the mac and cheese. Wow everything here was delicious. We loved the burnet ends, pork belly and moist sliced brisket. Meats were so tender, juicy and fall off the bone. Definitely order the sprouts and mac and cheese. The sauces were no joke either. The Carolina, mustard bbq and mild sauces were delicious. I'd recommend ordering earlier in the day as they do sell out items. Also bring your own utensils or wet wipes as the food can get messy. Service here was great. Even though it's more self serve. Order, grab your food and eat on the benches. The workers kept asking if we needed anythi

The guys are always friendly and as welcomingas men can be. I'm not big on their sides but I enjoyed everything I ordered. The beans were a tad too "onion" flavored and soupy for me but nevertheless the meats were flavorful and smoked to perfection.

First, we did not get what we ordered. One item was not recorded and the toast that was supposed to go with the order that did go through was not delivered. When we asked about the toast we were informed it was out and we were given a hamburger bun instead. For.what we did get, the brisket was decent. Mac and cheese was cold and flavorless. Brussels were tasty but super salty. Not sure how this earned a Michelin gourmand ranking.

I was very disappointed. The burnt ends were tough and HUGE chunks. The brisket was moist and fatty however the meat had no flavor and it too was tough. It certainly was not marinated. I had to cut both brisket and ends bc it was just tough. A well cooked brisket can be cut with your fork.

Staff were not friendly. Pork ribs are so tough. Can't bite into it nor chew it. Brussels sprouts are dry and burnt. Fries were good but I won't be returning. #disappointed much
