2fifty Texas BBQ, K St.

The Best New Restaurants In Washington DC

"2Fifty’s original Maryland location has achieved legendary status. Ask anyone in the DMV where to get solid Southern BBQ—or at least the closest thing you’ll find this far north—and they’ll point you there. Luckily for us, they’ve opened a new spot in Mt. Vernon Triangle. Their massive wagyu beef ribs (which fall apart if you so much as look at them), smoky-sweet citrus pineapple slices, and beefy baked beans are poem-worthy. It’s your classic BBQ setup—pick your meat, sides, and grab a seat—and whatever you do, don’t forget the banana pudding on your way out." - omnia saed, madeline weinfield, jonathan smith, mekita rivas, allison robicelli, omnia saed, kym backer, omnia saed
