Willard's Real Pit BBQ

Came here for dinner with family. I got the four pork rib platter with beans and greens as a side. The service was quick, and the preparation was accurate. On the whole it was a very good meal! The ribs were really good. Sides were a bit mixed; a couple people said the beans tasted slightly burned. The restaurant was relatively empty when we arrived just before six pm, but had since filled up. I’ll definitely return it back in the area; for DC it is pretty decent barbecue!

A great dive barbecue spot with amazing prices. The food is good, especially the barbecue. This was my first visit. I got the sandwich combo, a great value at $11 for a pulled chicken sandwich and two sides. The sandwich was a very generous size on a kaiser roll. The chicken was moist and tender (actually a little too moist, like it was steamed). Even though I ordered for eat-in, the sandwich was inexplicably wrapped in paper. The potato salad was homemade redskin potato salad (I don't know if they actually make it on site but it was definitely not the factory style that you often get). The green beans were fine but canned. I can't complain at this price. You order at the cash register then they call your number when it's ready to pick up, so there is virtually no service.

Ribs are the best, hands down! The brisket was a little dry but the pulled pork was moist. All the sides tasted terrific. They have various southern desserts but was too full to try.

Food was very good brisket was a little 2 tough but the pulled pork, sausage and the mac and collards were on point. But the banana pudding was the star of the show for a southern boy this is one of the best i have had.

The hardest part is trying to figure out what to order. Check out the menu online before you go to speed up the dilemma you will have when you get there. I ended up getting the Texas Teaser plate with potato salad and macaroni and cheese. Excellent choice. The food was great, tons of seating and the peanut butter pie was amazing. I would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner. Fast service but not fast food!
