GloGlo: They have Big Red made with sugar! I love the corn pudding, and you can't go wrong with the moist brisket.

Maria G.Maria Galperin: The moist brisket is incredible, there are great margarita pitchers, shiner on tap, $3 PBRs, karaoke downstairs on Wednesdays and old school country on Thursdays. Perfection. Avoid the potato salad.

Nathan C.Nathan Castellanos: Best brisket sandwich in DC! Go for the horseradish, can't be beat.

Brian C.Brian Chamowitz: Place is real old school. All freshly cut meats (brisket, turkey, top round, ham). Build your own sandwich. Sit @ the counter & chat up a long-time DC resident or municipal worker. Very diverse crowd.

Jeff C.Jeff Chin: Whoa. Get the Brisket or Top Round, horseradish and a side of gravy for dipping. Yeah - gravy. You can't go wrong. A bit on the expensive side but this place is awesome.

Matthew G.Matthew Guderian: Great sandwiches - try the Italian or the brisket. The clam chowder is also a solid option, kind of a mix between Manhattan and New England styles (plus bacon!).

Chris G.Chris Geissler: Italian (maybe ask for light on sauce) and Brisket are fantastic. The roast pork also looks/smells fantastic. Homemade pickles are good too and large enough to share.

SuzySuzy: The brisket is amazing! Cookies are fresh and delicious.

Jake S.Jake Smith: While the atmosphere and beer selection is refreshing, the pork sandwich lacks a smoke flavor, even with the slaw topping. The brisket is the better sandwich, give that a try.

Daniel G.Daniel Grayson: Stick with the regular pho, if you're looking for soup. The eye is better than the brisket. Fried rolls are really good, too.
