🔥 Casual Restaurant of the Year

We’re feelin’ the love, DMV — 2Fifty Texas BBQ has been nominated for “Casual Restaurant of the Year” at the 2025 RAMMY Awards!

This category honors restaurants that strike the perfect balance of top-notch food, warm service, and a welcoming, down-to-earth vibe. That’s been our goal since day one — no fancy frills, just real wood, real fire, and real good BBQ, served up in a space that feels like home.

‍

“To be recognized in this category means a lot,” says our pitmaster, Fernando González. “We put just as much care into how people feel when they walk through our doors as we do into every brisket that hits the smoker. For us, casual doesn’t mean cutting corners — it means making people feel comfortable, cared for, and full.”

‍

Every tray that comes off our line is a product of hours of slow smoking, hard work, and a whole lot of heart. And this nomination is proof that you don’t need white tablecloths to create a high-level dining experience — just dedication, patience, and great ingredients.

We’re proud to be nominated alongside fellow amazing spots like Stellina Pizzeria, Tsehay Ethiopian, and more. You can read the full list of RAMMY finalists over on Washingtonian:

To our community: thank you for making 2Fifty your go-to for casual excellence. You’ve helped us build something real — and this nomination is as much yours as it is ours.

All Wood? All Good.
Stay tuned—there’s more goodness to come.
