- GeauxDC FoodieJune 8, 2015A quality local BBQ menu for the Metro D.C. area. The burnt ends, pulled pork, brisket, and side dishes prove that quality BBQ can and does exist locally. They also have specialty sodas.
- Cynthia SmithJune 2, 2018I love💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞the salad with brisket on top and their barbeque sauce. It's sooo mouth watering! The cornbread is one of my favorites too! Try ribs on half price day. At the bar of course!!👏
- They recently added Jack Daniels spicy creamed corn to the menu. It's quite tasty. Award-winning BBQ sauce makes this place worth the trip every time. Try the mustard barbecue sauce, it's excellent.
- GeauxDC FoodieMarch 9, 2016Pork Barrrel is a good option in Del Ray. The proteins have never failed (burnt ends are a plus). The sides are consistent with potato salad, beans and collards taking the prize!
- Jason CSeptember 11, 2013Amazing place! Get the half pound of meat and just add a roll because it will get you extra meat as well as two side dishes! Great way to get more bang for your buck!
- I love the atmosphere of Pork Barrel. They also always have a great rotating tap of beers. I usually order off the Holy Cow menu. So good!
- Brisket and burnt ends rock! Also new menu out with cheese and garlic grits! 👌
- Maggie MacGJanuary 12, 2019The BBQ is very good and they really support the community. Free sandwiches with a federal ID throughout the shutdown
- NouRa Al-MulhemAugust 31, 2015Burnt ends and monster mac and cheese 👌👌 , I do wish they would toast the bread though , it would have made it more tasty
- Cam ByrdDecember 13, 2015Delicious BBQ! Lexington style slaw not true to the real texture and taste. Mustard sauce pretty darn good.
- Aimee AimeeNovember 27, 2012Came here with a friend after spending all day buying a car. The beer was excellent and some of the best pulled pork in the DC area.
- Cam ByrdDecember 13, 2015Sit at the bar and unlock Holy Cow burger menu too! Awesome picks and booze at the bar.
- Nick R.December 2, 2011Awesome food, well worth the wait. And for the guy who's boycotting 1st look at the city and 2nd ur only punishing yourself cause the food is amazing
- The draft tower is amazing. As an avid drinker of Guinness, the Buffalo Sweat milk stout isn't to be missed. Smooth, creamy and tasty.
- Vinny Vodka-TonicJuly 4, 2015Food here is always amazing. Staff is great as well. Love the beer & liquor selection.
- Andrew DantoDecember 30, 2012Both the brisket and pulled pork are wonderful. If you like real BBQ, you will love it here.
- Steven FreimanJanuary 21, 2014You get a great value for your dollar here. Make sure to get the burnt ends.
- Susan Strayer LaMotteNovember 11, 2012Great food and great sodas. They don't warn you that the Mac and cheese has jalapeños though. Boo.
- Very decent pulled pork and beans are good too. Nice beer selection.
- You can order from Holy Cow, the burger place next door (same ownership). Just ask at the bar.
- John AthaydeAugust 25, 2012Gluten free menu, marked as to preparation and contents. Right across the street from a gluten free bakery to boot!
- Washington Business JournalMarch 14, 2011WBJ's Top Shelf says: "Mike Anderson, better known as 'Mango Mike,' is calling his new location with a long bar within 'A man's bar.' Likely opening by the end of March! (WBJ 2/25/11)
- Laura ElliottDecember 27, 2011Great staff and fantastic food. Bartenders were friendly and recommended great beers for me and my friend.
- Sandy FSeptember 2, 2013When ordering from the catering menu, be sure to get bbq sauce - before you get home.
- Tasting TableMay 2, 2012Round out a meaty meal with extra sides. Mac and cheese gets a kick from whole chipotles and diced green chiles: Read more
- Laura RenengerJanuary 11, 2012I know many are here for the ribs but I love, love, love the smoked sausage sandwich. Throw some of their sweet or traditional sauce on it, DELICIOUS!
- Justin ThorpJanuary 15, 2012Brisket, Mac n cheese, and sweet tea were all delish and for a sweet price.
- Chris Du4December 22, 2011Concur on the stout--AMAZING! Ask for Stu at the bar: a Del Ray local & friendliest cat in town.
- Dan CurlJanuary 26, 2012Looking for something awesome to pour in your mouth? Grab a Dang! Butterscotch Rootbeer. You're welcome!
- How do they so often run out of pork and brisket FOR THE DAY by LUNCH? And where did the Carolina mustard sauce go?
- Recipe for success: take two hungry people. Order one pound of pulled pork. Add BBQ sauce. Rinse with beer. Repeat.
- Finally got Carolina mustard sauce back, only to see Carolina vinegar disappear. Come on!
