Hill Country Barbecue Market

Visited back in July and had a very filling lunch. The portion of the sandwich was so much, you could’ve honestly made 2 sandwiches out of it. It was a little confusing for my first time. I sat at the bar and didn’t know I had to go further into the restaurant to order my food. However, everything was really good! Authentic bbq for sure. Music wasn’t too loud and everyone had plenty of space to have a great time.

This is a Great place for dinner in DC (near the Smithsonian). While all the food is good, the dry rubbed wings are really good. The sides are a little skimpy, but the brisket, smoked sausage, and the ribs are what they really want you to enjoy (and we did!). The wait staff get customer service right, and the dining room is large with Western like atmosphere. I would have liked a couple different sauce options. Please try Hill Country Barbecue...

Good Bbq! Upon entering, we were greeted and seated, then directed to the back to order our food. I went with the brisket sandwich with baked beans and burnt ends, and an IBC. The sandwich was large, and the brisket was melt in your mouth goodness - some of the best i have had in this area. The service was ok. We went and got our food, so wasn’t sure of the purpose other than to bring me a fork. The atmosphere is Texas country - lots of wood, plenty of tables and seating, local signage, pretty loud.

UPDATE: I went back today. AMAZING, thank you. I missed it on my first visit where on the menu board it has the two options for brisket, moist and lean. If I had paid closer attention, I would have seen that. Thanks to the manager for reaching out to me after my first review. On this visit I had the moist brisket and turkey, collard greens and cole slaw. Everything was absolutely perfect. I have also made it a 5 star review versus my original 4 stars. I will definitely be a regular visitor. I had the Pitmaster it pretty good. The meat was a little dry but tasty. The collard greens were some of the best I have ever had. I will definitely make another visit to see if it was a one-time thing with the dry meat.

Went here for my birthday, on the weekend. Lucked out that it wasn’t too busy. But had the chicken wings, moist brisket, beef short rib, chicken, sausage and pork ribs! The dry rub seasoning for the bark of the moist beef brisket was impeccable as well as perfectly balanced. Also, the moist brisket was cooked exceptionally well with the exact amount of fat and meat. The beef short rib was also nice and juicy, a little bit drier than the moist brisket. The mac n cheese was solid as was the baked beans with brunt ends mixed in. Cornbread was decent. The must try dessert, is hands down the banana pudding, not too sweet or overwhelming! Overall great experience. The manager, Daniel, provided outstanding customer service as well!

Stop in for some great barbecue. The prices aren't bad and the servings were large! The brisket sandwich was massive and delicious. The potato salad is definitely a good choice. The burnt end baked beans were decent as well. Its pretty good sized if you have a large group and you just walk up and get your food so there is no waiting! If you're close by, give it a try!
