Popular Riverdale Park-based restaurant 2Fifty BBQ will open a much-anticipated new location in D.C.’s Mount Vernon Triangle on Saturday, Jan. 13.
Located at 414 K St. NW, near Founding Farmers, the new location will serve a meat-market style of barbecue in which customers can specify the exact weight of the serving they want, a popular way of serving barbecue in Texas.
“This will allow our customers to have more control over their budget whenever they visit us, allowing them to order any quantity they want instead of a fixed pound/half pound,” co-owner Fernando and Debby Gonzalez told the Hyattsville Wire.
The new space will allow 2Fifty to branch out. The restaurant has doubled the capacity of its Riverdale Park smokehouse, which will handle all proteins for both locations while the Mount Vernon location cooks all sides, sauces and bread.
The kitchen space at the Mount Vernon location will also allow 2Fifty to permanently add pulled lamb and whole hog to its menu, which had previously been rotating specials.
The restaurant, which has been named one of the most-anticipated openings in D.C. by Axios and Eater D.C., will be open from 11 a.m. until it runs out of meat, Wednesdays through Mondays.
