Fat Pete's Bbq - Washington

Fat Pete is a whisky encyclopedia. Seriously you come here for the BBQ (which is itself pretty good especially for DC) but you stay for this man's sage-like knowledge of all things whisky, bourbon, scotch, blends, etc. We had so much fun getting Pete'srecommendations, trying samples, and just indulging in the love of whisky. Oh yea and of course he serves up a pretty good BBQas well. Will absolutely be coming again soon!

Very nice place for BBQ ????????. A bit dark for me during rhe day. A full wall of TVs baseball, indy car , English?s premiere league) on the walls. Wide range of beers and even choice for wines ????. Waiter pleasant and checking everythig was ok.Parking not so easy ?????. Need to say i do not know well the neighborhood.

For DC this is four star Texas style bbq. Anywhere else three stars. The meat has flavor which is good, the problem is the way it is cooked and what is served. The person who packed our order really messed things up too. The bbq sauce caps were not puton and it soaked the bag and made a mess. They also did not include the baked beans, but that?s ok sometimes you forgetfood. The real issue is the actual food. The pork belly bites were just fat, no actual meat or bacon. We threw them out aftertrying them because there was literally just fat. The burnt ends had flavor but were so burnt they could barely be cut with oursteak knives. I chopped them with a butcher knife. I?m guessing they overbooked everything yesterday because the brisket wasalso over done and had zero smoke ring. It was moist but very over cooked. If it was done properly it would have been melt inyour mouth delicious. It was likely a very off day. The corn bread was perfection and the pulled pork was as expected. DCdoes not have good bbq, so if you?re craving Texas style bbq, Fat Pete?s is your best bet and to be honest, you won?t bedisappointed. Once they figure out temperatures and when meat is done, they?re going to be amazing. The seasoning and flavor arethere, it?s not learning meats, what to serve vs discard and when to stop cooking it. Ohh the bacon wrapped jalapeño popperswere perfect. I loved them!!! Nicely done.

I never write reviews but I?m so upset. I order from their food truck-1 meat 2 sides plate. The pork was cold, 1 tiny thing of BBQ sauce and for the price of $19 dollars there was hardly any pork and as you can see from the picture a giant piece of burntmeat. The sides was barley 1 scoop. Don?t go here unless you want to waste your money!

Amazing! We stopped in for lunch after visiting the zoo. Immediately welcomed by PJ. It was pretty busy and my boyfriend and I grabbed a couple seats at the bar. I got the Burnt Ends Grilled Cheese and he got the Brisket platter. Both were SO good, juicyand tender. I really can?t decide if the food or customer service was better. Wish I lived here so I could come in everyday.
