"DCity’s “brisket squad” smokes a little bit of everything for a menu boasting tender beef, wings, turkey breast, pulled pork, pork belly, ribs, rib tips, and a house half-smoke. For $14, customers can get a signature DCity half-smoke covered in brisket chili, cheddar-jack cheese, onions, and mustard. A second location sits in Anacostia, and a food truck also roves around town." - Tierney Plumb
"What’s a homegrown barbecue pit to do in a town fixated on half-smokes? Combine the two, of course. DCity smothers its snappy half-smoke in brisket chili, cheddar cheese, red onions, and mustard. The menu also features a version covered in pulled pork, barbecue sauce, slaw, and crispy onions. You can try either take on the half-smoke at the year-old location in Anacostia or the original spot in Shaw." - Eater Staff

"The best barbecue doesn’t come out of swanky restaurants. DCity Smokehouse is a testament to the fact that sliding into the local spot to grab your smoked meat is the best way to go. The Bloomingdale restaurant serves up brisket, turkey, ribs, and more in a refurbished garage splattered in all things DC and HBCU. The smoked wings will burst in your mouth when you bite through the crispy skin—pair them with the tangy housemade barbecue sauce. Come here for a quick lunch or a fun group dinner where you share as much of the menu as your elastic pants will allow. " - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
"The meal: A smoked turkey for $150-200 or a turkey and four sides for $350. DC barbecue and Thanksgiving go hand-in-hand, or at least that’s the case at DCity Smokehouse, where you can order a whole smoked turkey. The barbecue spot is also offering a dinner package that includes sides like mashed sweet potatoes, cornbread, and their spicy jack mac and cheese." - Omnia Saed, Tristiana Hinton
