Silver Spring Smokehouse Lincoln’s Bar-B-Que Has Closed | Eater DC

"Occupying the same Silver Spring spot as a short-lived predecessor, Lincoln’s Bar-B-Que — a roadhouse-y, Southern-style smokehouse put up by the Restaurant Group as a chain-like venture — shut down permanently on January 3, marking the second closure on that same spot in less than 18 months. Management posted “We are closed for good. Thanks for everything” on the company website after trying to keep up appearances (including a cheery New Year’s greeting on January 1). The restaurant served standard barbecue fare — brisket, pulled pork and ribs — and offered a handful of regionally inspired sauces, including a zesty white (Alabama) and a tangy mustard (Georgia); early public reviews were mixed, citing lackluster service but noting affordable lunch specials, and the Washington Post had mentioned the place for its made-for-Instagram “crazy” shakes rather than the food." - Warren Rojas
