A 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 Smith

I 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!!????

Brian Wells

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.

Pork 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!

Ben H.

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!

Maggie MacG

The BBQ is very good and they really support the community. Free sandwiches with a federal ID throughout the shutdown

Jason C

Amazing 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!

Derek Zeller

Brisket and burnt ends rock! Also new menu out with cheese and garlic grits ! ????

NouRa Al-Mulhem

Burnt ends and monster mac and cheese ???????? , I do wish they would toast the bread though , it would have made it more tasty

Cam Byrd

Delicious BBQ ! Lexington style slaw not true to the real texture and taste. Mustard sauce pretty darn good.

Aimee Aimee

Came 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.

Shaunica

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.

Thrillist

Plate your 10-hour pulled pork with a smoked veggie medley they call "Redneck Ratatouille ." Also, don't forget to imbibe from PB's "draft beer tower." You'll see. Read more

Laura Renenger

I 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!

Cam Byrd

Sit at the bar and unlock Holy Cow burger menu too! Awesome picks and booze at the bar .

WBJ'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)

Both the brisket and pulled pork are wonderful. If you like real BBQ , you will love it here.

You can only get the lunch specials at the bar

Very decent pulled pork and beans are good too. Nice beer selection .

You get a great value for your dollar here. Make sure to get the burnt ends .

Gluten free menu , marked as to preparation and contents. Right across the street from a gluten free bakery to boot!

DT Comer

The daily specials are great and you can always add sides:-)

Maggie MacG

The creamed corn is to die for... and the meat is pretty good too!

John Schoonejongen

Pulled pork was excellent, as was the brisket .

Tasting Table

Round out a meaty meal with extra sides. Mac and cheese gets a kick from whole chipotles and diced green chiles : Read more

Leandro Lagera

Really good BBQ here. Portions are a bit slight but tasty.

Laura Elliott

Great staff and fantastic food. Bartenders were friendly and recommended great beers for me and my friend.

Kelly O'Keefe

Recipe for success: take two hungry people. Order one pound of pulled pork . Add BBQ sauce . Rinse with beer . Repeat.

Chris Abraham

Half-priced ribs at the bar on Tuesdays! Awesome!

Matt Gaston

You can order from Holy Cow , the burger place next door (same ownership). Just ask at the bar .

Sandy F

When ordering from the catering menu, be sure to get bbq sauce - before you get home.

Susan Strayer LaMotte

Great food and great sodas . They don't warn you that the Mac and cheese has jalapeños though. Boo.

Dan Curl

Looking for something awesome to pour in your mouth? Grab a Dang! Butterscotch Rootbeer . You're welcome!

Cecily Powell

Go after 5pm and get the burnt tips.

Concur on the stout--AMAZING! Ask for Stu at the bar : a Del Ray local & friendliest cat in town .

Dusk Dargent

Great beer , amazing food. Definitely a good stop for dinner .

Brisket , Mac n cheese , and sweet tea were all delish and for a sweet price.

How do they so often run out of pork and brisket FOR THE DAY by LUNCH ? And where did the Carolina mustard sauce go?
