2fifty Texas BBQ on Washingtonian's 100 Very Best Restaurants

Washingtonian named 2fifty Texas BBQ to its 100 Very Best Restaurants 2026 list, published January 20, 2026. Washingtonian later shared a look inside the restaurant as number 10 on that list.

It is not our first time on it. 2fifty also appeared on the 2025 list, and on the 2023 list as its top barbecue. Local outlets including The Hyattsville Wire and The MoCo Show covered the 2026 list and the Maryland restaurants on it.

Where to taste it

Both smokehouses open at 11am and close Tuesdays. Visit us in Riverdale Park, MD or on K Street NW in Washington, DC, or pre-order to skip the line.
