How this place only has 4.5 stars is inexplicable. Maybe someone out there was having a bad day and…read moredecided to take it out on 2Fifty? Anyway, my best tip for you on this place is to come hungry because you're going to want to try everything on the menu...including the sides! I know I've said it before but the beef ribs are a reason alone to buy an airline ticket and fly to DC to eat them if you're from out of town. TSA should update their forms to read. "Reason for travel: Business, Leisure, 2Fifty " Enjoy!

Update. Not sure if…read morethis is a first review or not however; this has arguably the best bbq in the DMV. On this visit I went for lunch and I discovered the format for entering was more structured. The staff members created a system of restricted entry to prevent overcrowding and to allow more space for guests to dine in. I got the two different sandwiches and a slice of the key lime pie. The first sandwich was the pulled pork which is pictured below. Super tender and juicy with a mild seasoning and gentle smoke flavor. I do believe the long hold times until served loses some of the more potent smoke flavor but a very good sandwich. The other was the brisket sandwich with I think is the bargain option imo compared to ordering slices. The brisket was cooked to perfection, has good balance of flavors and texture. The brisket sandwich is roughly 1.5/2 full slices of brisket and I believe the 1/4 pound is roughly 3 full slices all dependent on the butcher cutting the slices. Neither sandwich needed any sauce to help it out. The key lime pie wasn't my favorite selection on this visit. I'm not sure if it's a house made recipe or outsourced. This slice flavor lacked the tartness from the lime and the custard had strands of coconut or something which was off putting from the texture. Some lime zest as a garnish on the top would work better here than integrated. Dear customer: Pricing here is a little high but please understand it's very difficult for bbq to make a profit margin after factoring the operational costs. Bbq is a labor intensive process to ensure you have a consistent and enjoyable product. Things to consider the parking is limited if the adjacent lot is full. You make have to park in the residential area and walk down. If possible pre-order your meal to save on the wait time. Dear 2Fifty: What would be awesome for the customers is adding a QR code for the menu for the outside guest. While in line several people had to wait to get a portable menu or until they entered the building to start their selection process. Many of which made comments about wanting to see a menu while they waited. Overall, this visit was a 4.3 out of 5.

OH MY...I couldn't believe it... and the cabbage and my salmon FLAVORLESS. ;((( HOW?!!!! I was really disappointed in my order. The portions were also a lot smaller than I remembered which was ok given the fact last nights food was a total wash! And I hate throwing away food. Last nights meal was not worth what I paid for it.... However the potato salad and mac and cheese- those I would come back for after going to Carolina Kitchen and ordering the other items we ordered.

Mission BBQ were also clearly supportive of our 9/11 first responders, as they were raising money and have signs that they are giving away free food to them on 9/11. The two employees we interacted with were lovely- so kind and helpful! The food- omg was it good. We got the brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeño and cheese sausage, Mac and cheese, and string beans. It also came with corn bread. We loved it all, and I especially enjoyed that they had six kinds of bbq sauce at each table. That was fun! You can't leave this place without feeling patriotic. It was so refreshing. Couldn't recommend it more! We'll definitely be back.

The staff is super welcoming especially since it was my first time. The decor and lighting is also very nice, i don't always appreciate the LED lights everywhere so I'd come and lunch here for focus work honestly. Outdoor seating is available too (just beware of the bees) They break down the menu if you're new, and the combo is what i got because i had to try the Mac and Cheese. I didn't eat my sandwich fresh and it was STILL great and juicy hours later, not soggy at all. Try all the sauces if you're indecisive and then make an Arnold Palmer in that large $4.99 Flight Cup, i which it did come with a lid though. You can bring the cup back for 99¢ refills (and NUGGET ICE) You're welcome

The truck is always super clean and I'm thankful. The staff aren't the most friendly folks but they are professional and get the job done so I'm pleased with the timely service. I also got beef brisket and a dino rib which were also tasty but the tacos took the show today. Thank you DC! I have to go back and get more as the ones I had didn't all make it home to share.

Sometimes the best meals find you when you least expect them. I landed at Supreme BBQ while helping…read moremy mother through car trouble in the shopping center, and as a thank you she ordered us a 1/2 brisket, a brisket sandwich, and 10 smoked wings to take home. An unplanned detour that turned into a happy discovery. The smoked wings earned the top spot. Terrific flavor, and none of that rubbery skin you get with grilled wings. The mild carries no real heat, but the sauce does all the talking and it is excellent. The brisket was moist, flavorful, and clearly handled with care. They offer their own BBQ sauces, which are cool, but that wing sauce is what I was dreaming about. A side of it with the brisket would have been something special. Consider this my gentle plea. Clean store, kind staff, and I was greeted within a minute of walking in. That warmth goes a long way. Would I return? Absolutely. Would I recommend Supreme BBQ to friends? Without hesitation.

Welcome to Supreme Barbecue restaurant in Lanham-Seabrook area. This is Filipino bbq inspired by…read moreTexas style cooking. This restaurant is located in the shopping center nearby the Bank of America. It's easily accessible for persons with ADA needs. The service was friendly as I was greeted by nearly all of the staff. There is lots of available dining space is you choose to eat in the restaurant. I decided to order al a carte having the brisket (fatty) point and Smoked wing(ettes). The brisket was very tasty and tender; however, the fat wasn't rendered properly. Despite not having a better fat render the slices from the point were juicy, developed a bark decent that was slightly gritty, absorbed good smoke, and enjoyable. The smoked wing was good and I did noticed quite a bit of feathers left on the wing itself. I'm not sure if this was due to a more affordable lower quality product or not properly inspecting the meats they cook presented to the customers. I did have the boba Thai tea which was very delicious and did not make the posted photos. Next time I'll order it half sweet but man was it good. Overall this is not a bad spot to have bbq. Note I did not try the pork ribs today so I do not have a fair review to give them. The looked and smelled amazing. Overall 3.2 of 5 from today's experience. My considerations: inspection of the meat qualities especially for the poultry products. For the brisket at some point later during the cook bumping the temps up a bit higher to help render the fat more or simply trim out the untended fat at the end of your cook. Also though the bark looked good and you had a good salt content just monitor the seasoning stage to avoid some of the grittiness developed on the bark. Could be fixed with a larger course grind without sacrificing flavor. I can't wait to return and try it out again. Thank you for serving me

String beans, loaded potatoes, and mac and cheese were the highlights without a doubt. That mac and cheese especially impressed me.... It was so creamy, flavorful, and the perfect texture. I'm ashamed to say that I kept coming back for that. But don't let that undermine how good everything else was. They have some really yummy barbecue sauces too. Of course I gravitate it towards one that was called 'Last Resort'... It was their hottest, and it was not thaaaat bad. Loved it on the meat and mac and cheese. Edgewater is lucky to have a place like this. When the guy first said they were on Central Avenue, I immediately thought you meant you're my parents and I was excited. But I forgot how long that street is XD. I am not sure when I'll be in that direction, but best believe I will drop by whenever I can.

Tons of people raved about this place and it's all correct. If you like a little bread with the meat, that's the only way they do things. The Reuben is only here till St. Patrick's so we got two. Amazing! The pit beef is our go to and never disappoints. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and placed the order. By the time we got our drinks and sauces, everything was ready. We sat in the outdoor area where they have a few picnic tables. Overall, great food but pricey. Be prepared to spend about $40-$50 on two people. We're glad to live right down the road and we will be back for sure.
