What a fantastic BBQ joint, tucked into a quiet street. The meat is so tender and flavorful, their sauce is decent, and their sides are so unique. Reasonable prices, cute indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking, or a small lot... They're often very busy so recommend trying to go early.

Unbelievable! This place offers true authentic Texas barbecue that is out of this world. There are usually people lined up down the street just to get a plate. I'll assure you that it is well worth the wait. If you are in the DC or Baltimore area you have to make the trip. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

The real deal. Reminds me of famous Franklin's BBQ in Austin Texas. Their Wagu Brisket and "Dino" Beef Rib is as good as BBQ gets. Great sides. Atmosphere is Texas casual. Service is friendly and in a standard format for Texas BBQ. I'm going to take guests from out of town here. It's not cheap, but for the highest quality BBQ, it's good value.

Very tender, fall-off-the-bone brisket. The brisket isn't too fatty, but it's also not overly seasoned. I recommend letting it sit in your fridge overnight, so the juices settle, and eating it the next day to get a real idea of how tasty it is. The caramelized pineapple have a delicious, unique, smoky, bourbon taste. The coleslaw is sweet and juicy. The cornbread is not good (it tastes like pure cane sugar), but that's okay. The mango tiramusu--didn't care for the coffee topping, but the mango puree was refreshing and decent. The macaroni doesn't taste homemade and isn't baked, but it's safe for many palettes to enjoy.

I’ve decided I no longer need to smoke meat myself—this place has made my life so much easier! On my second visit to 2fithy I was absolutely blown away by how incredible everything was. The flavors are delicious, robust, and unforgettable. I haven’t left a Google review in ages, but this spot deserves it. Plan your visit carefully because it’s always packed and sells out fast! Highly recommend—enjoy!

We pulled up about 10 minutes before they opened on a Saturday and there wasn’t too bad of a line (we were probably 6th or 7th in line). We ordered the Wagyu brisket (of course) and the half duck which was one of the daily specials. We also got the pineapple ribs, the cornbread, and the corn salad. The Wagyu brisket was fantastic and really did take me back to my trip to Austin with the smokiness and fatty flavor of the brisket. The spicy bbq sauce paired perfectly with it, especially the cuts with a lot of bbq bark. The half duck was delightfully juicy and seasoned really well. Corn salad was probably the surprise delight of the meal, really well balanced and just a hint of spicy. The pineapple ribs stood out for their fantastic flavor, smokiness and sweetness. We will be back for the Dino ribs.

The dino rib is incredible! The wings are so delicious, just be prepared to have people help you eat as you’ll also want some brisket and so much more! Definitely a spot you need to get to at the start of the day before the line gets way too big and or they run out of stuff.

After waiting 20 minutes in line to order, it took less than 5 minutes to get my food. The prime brisket moist was fantastic (nice color, moist, and very flavorful). The corn bread would have been better if it was warm/hot. The macaroni and cheese was nothing to write home about. I think it was missing eggs and noodles were a little overcooked. However, I would go back, and I would recommend. The parking lot and where you order your food is very tight. Busy even during the day. However, the staff was pleasant and delightful. Loved the carryout packaging.
