    Maaaan no shade to Arbys but 2Fifty got the meats! The staff are SO sweet. They let me know all the allergens in the food. The meat had no allergens but I was warned about the spicy BBQ potentially containing gluten so I just didn't use the spicy BBQ sauce. I do think this is the best BBQ I've ever eaten. I got the Dino Ribs and 1/2 lb brisket with burnt ends but I think they put the burnt ends on my ribs (not a problem at all). The rib was about the size of my forearm!! Needless to say, my eyes were bigger than my stomach so I never got to the brisket. I'll be freezing it tor later. They got a new loyal customer.

    While waiting in line at the original location, I knew it was going to be good. I mean why would there be a line if the food isn't good. Well the food isn't just, it's amazing. I love good bbg and the Texas style with a Latin twist was all that I thought it would be waiting in the line. You walk in, place your order and find a seat inside or outside. We ordered smorgasbord of food to sample. This was my first time here but my guest has been here plenty. We had the brisket sandwich, the burger and lots of sides to try. The potato salad and coleslaw were potato salad and coleslaw; good but standard. However that zesty garden and jimaca salads were phenomenal! I love a good side it balanced with the flavors of the bbq so we'll. The brisket burger was great too. Oh and how could I forget the key lime pie, the right amount of tart and sweet. I haven't found key lime pie that good since heading to thru the Florida Keys. This is a must try. Don't fear the line, stay there. Whatever you order is going to be amazing.

    Speechless! That's how good all their offerings are! If you are in the area, highly recommend stopping by for brisket and the banana pudding at the very least. This location was recommended by friends and we tried a little bit of everything to taste and none of it was disappointing. When we got there, there was a line out the door which speaks highly of the team and their service. There is limited seating so we do recommend looking at the menu ahead and preparing for takeout but nonetheless the ambiance definitely gives a southern vibe from Texas.

    Don't get the potato salad!!

    Do Not get the potato salad!!!! Dont! Its not seasoned... Giving yall my honest opinion. As everyone and they mama raves about this place.... long lines that go fast. Prepare for the sticker shock. Its expensive. I got brisket for $18. You get like 3 pieces of meat. You can't request for particular cuts. You gotta pray you'll get good cuts. Nothing comes with it ... everything is a la carte. You don't even get a piece of cornbread. They got beans, Mac n cheese, beans and potato salad. I ordered potato salad... Let me tell you it was AWFUL!!! This is nothing like you would get at a southern BBQ or cookout... I never recall ever having dill in a potato salad. My mother in law would have a fit.. It lacked so much seasonings, no egg or ham... no celery. The type of mustard they used was overpowering... and the dill ruined it for me. They have key lime pie and banana pudding.. but after my experience with the potato salad I was like nah. After you pay, they have tip screen? Why? When you're not being waited on and food is overpriced. The brisket was decent but my cuts had too much fat trim.. Service. Employees are nice but Ill stick with Mackies or Mo's pit bbq truck.

    After hanging out at the Smithsonian for the 250th Celebration we worked up a good appetite and this place hit the spot. It is in a residential area in River Dale. Know there may be a wait to get in as you can see and I have heard there have been times of an hour wait. Also, I heard they can run out of food because they are so good so you may want to call if it is later in the day. Delicious!!! I had the pulled pork sandwich which was amazing full of great flavor without bbq sauce. So sauce is optional! Their Mac n Cheese was also amazing and I don't usually eat it. I had their Coleslaw which I also felt was very good one of my top 7. The Spicy Cheddar Sausage... ok not to my liking was a one and done for me. Really not spicy and is a bit fatty for myself. Did I tell you about their Mac n Cheese :). Keep supporting these local eateries especially these that do such a great job!

    Service- Very Nice! They were so wonderful to help with our order. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach and I had a hard time cutting down everything that I wanted to order. Tip1: if you are ordering for a group, ask for additional trays when picking up your order! Tip2: sandwiches are bang for your buck!! Food: Pulled pork sandwich-Juicy! It was one of the best sandwiches I've had. The pork was moist and flavorful. You have the option to put BBQ sauce on it at the table but I don't think you need to. Beef rib- Showstopper. Like fajitas at a Mexican restaurant, this beef rib will be a head turner when you walk by. It was fall off the bone tender. Extra fatty with flavor. Mac & cheese- MUST GET! Perfect texture, perfectly cheesy, perfect addition. The cheese pull was worthy of its own picture. Coleslaw-refreshing. With all the heavy food, something refreshing is needed on your plate. It was slightly acidic to cut through the fat of the meat. Cornbread- Classic. You can't go wrong with this as a side but since it was sweet, I had it as a dessert instead. Spicy cheddar sausage- little kick. It was actually spicy! The heat was wonderful. The cheese melted with the cook, so I didn't get the experience of the melty cheese. They didn't get the link all the way through the casing, so it was hard to cut it with the plastic knife. On to my next adventure....

    Brisket sandwich, corn bread, potato salad and more.

    Maryland, College Park area: love this place! Thick carved juicy brisket sandwich which comes with coleslaw and pickles is so satisfying! Added a small amount of their standard BBQ sauce to the sandwich. since I had a couple of sides, I had leftover sandwich, good for a second meal. Potato salad is creamy, with mustard and herbs. Corn salad has a ton of flavor. Corn bread is sweet and has a cake texture. Writing this review is making me hungry. Looking forward to my next visit

    Came back on a Friday and dined in. There was a line to the door. Prime brisket and dino rib were still favorites. We also tried the brisket tamales which were my new favorite special of the day!

    Esquite, brisket, ribs, chili, Mac and cheese

    AMAZING! We've been meaning to try this place for a while and it didn't disappoint! The meat is so tender and juicy! It's hard for me to pick which one I like better, but loved it both. The mac and cheese was amazing too! I definitely plan on coming back! The brisket and ribs are creekstone sourced and halal. The lines were long but it moves pretty quickly! The staff are super friendly and help move the lines along. Seating is limited, but people finish quickly and leave so you can find seating inside and outside. The ambiance is lively and really cool! I definitely recommend it!

    Finally getting a chance to check this place out.

    Business lunch yesterday. My guy was fiending for this place (again) after I turned him on to it a year ago. I wanted something closer, but endured the drive. For some reason it wasn't nearly as good although everything appeared the same. I had the Jalapeno sausage and a dino rib and neither were particularly exceptional as had been the case in year's past. Not sure what's changed - but something has. The rib was overseasoned and the sausage lacked substance. I took them both to-go after tasting. Still good service and still minimal parking options. Wishing DC had more/better BBQ options.

    My lunch consisted of wagyu brisket, Mac n cheese and pulled pork.

    I highly recommend this restaurant. Food is amazing. Service is great. Better than mission barbecue. Probably the best in the dmv.

    I recently visited after a brief hiatus. I forgot how much I really like this place. I first got introduced to them through a online Yelp event during the pandemic. Since then, they've expanded with a DC location and they've won awards. This is all warranted! They're just that good. I've recommended this place to many people and they have all been pleased with the food. Parking is still a little tight, but there's a parking lot across the street. I got the prime brisket during my recent visit! It was so good! Drooling thinking about it. If you haven't been to 2Fifty Texas, you need to!

    Swapna Y.

    To start of with the food here was excellent!!!! There was a parking lot across the street but it was small and pretty packed. We hawaiian line outside to get food but it moved fairly quickly. The inside was small but comfortable and there was another section which I believe may have been for carry out. Once we got inside, the line continued for us to order. Ww sat down and ate and then realized we wanted more food, so we were able to order at the table instead of waiting in the line again. We tried the beef ribs, which was one large slab of rib. It was very flavorful and tender. sit easily pulled off the bone to take leftovers home. We tried the brisket sandwich and equally delicious. I decided to try a special they had a brisket tostadas and it was one of the best things Ive eaten. The different textures with the meat, vegetables and tostada were very balanced and fun to eat. the flavors from the slaw for the vegetables was citrusy and refreshing with the meat. We also preferred the wings to go and I didn't find them that tasty when reheated. They were mostly smoky flavored, but I'd like to retry them when they are fresh.

    They have the meatsssss! I would come back for the pork spare ribs! No sauce needed.

    I haven't been in awhile. Did you guys expand indoor seating?

    They have a few picnic style seating options, regular tables and bar style seating by the windows. I'd say a dozen table settings in all.

    Is there seating to dine in or is it take-out only?

    You can dine in at both DC and MD locations. At the Hyattsville location there is outdoor seating when weather permits! Cheers! 🥂… 

    Do you sell out often on Friday and weekends?

    Wednesday through Friday bout 15min. Weekends bout 25. If you preordered, no wait, just select your pickup time even if dining in.

First, if I'm getting anyone a gift, it's from here. It's the most random trinkets but they're funny. I love a good laugh. The cards take the cake!

I am on their email list (and yes I read most of my emails that are of interest to me) and noted they had an Oktoberfest kick off party happening this week on Thursday evening from 6pm -9pm in their outside patio, so decided to come here. We showed up at 6pm on the dot and the place outside was already packed with people. They were having a live Oktoberfest trio band play, so that was cool! A lot of people were in their Oktoberfest garb/outfits, which was adorable. The challenge was getting a beer and a non alcoholic drink for my mom. They had nothing NA for her and she ended up just having a glass of ice water. I got in the mobbed line and had a Kellerbier, which was brewed especially for Franklin's and Oktoberfest. They had an issue with their handheld payment device so that made the line longer. Beer was fine, but wished I could have gotten my mom a lemonade or iced tea. The other issue was the seating. We opted to sit over in the sandbox/kids area and the picnic tables didnt feel like the best use of space. The trio band was lovely and played some nice tunes including Edelweiss which is one of my favorite songs ever (yes I loved The Sound of Music and have watched this so many times as a kid with my mom) but it would have been nice to see the band more in the center of things, closer to the bar hut. They were serving up German sausages and huge pretzels but the line for beverages and food was so long that I didnt bother to purchase food. This was a great idea and I hope that the next one they do, they can iron out some of the wonky kinks. I'd come back again for an Oktoberfest for sure. My mom and I had a great time!

When we checked in with the hostess, she said 20 minutes and I was surprised and happy. We were hungry. That 20 minutes past and then another 20 minutes passed before the hostess finally told us our table was ready. The place was packed. We were at table 22 which is in the front. Shortly, after being seated, I noticed there was a leak in the ceiling dripping onto the floor behind me. It didn't hit me. We waited, and waited, and waited for a server to come to our table. We informed another server that we didn't have one and she said she would go look into it. She didn't. At about 30 minutes we were trying to decide if we should leave, but I decided to go find the hostess and inform her that we did not have a server. 5 minutes later Tim showed up and apologized and took our order. I also informed him of the leak. He asked if I was getting wet I said no, but they should do something. They didn't put a bucket down. They didn't offer us another table. I ordered water. Tim brought a carafe of water and drinks for the other people, but never brought me a cup so we had to find him again and ask for a cup. When the robot arrived with our food, it went to the wrong table. It went to the table next to us, which was empty. Our food finally started to come, and our hot plate was placed. We asked for additional sides and when Tim arrive to check on us we had to inform him that the sides had not arrived. About 3/4 of the way into our meal, another family came in and sat at the table next to us. They were IMMEDIATELY greeted, set up and had their order taken. Also, when the place is full, it's loud. If you are noise sensitive, make sure you have your noise canceling headset. I've been to a few Korean barbecue places and I would say the food here is average. It wasn't awful. It wasn't phenomenal, but it wasn't good enough to make me want to go back.
