Got to stop by the truck while they were in Glen Echo Park for Carousel Day. The staff is efficient, kind, and clearly have great communication and systems in place, the line was insane and they just kept calm and cranking food out insanely fast. The smoked mushroom sandwich was absolutely delicious as was the mac and cheese! Definitely recommend checking them out :) read more

This was an interesting one. This is a secret menu for the All Set Restraunt. The BBQ was not bad. The meat was tasty. The restaurant was comfortable. The waitstaff were a little slow. Never got a refill and it took a bit to track someone down to get bbq sauce. read more

So freaking delicious. I tried this place when it was at Le Fantome food hall. I come back one day and they were GONE! Talk about heart broken ! This is the best barbecue I've had in a good while. I hate they left the area but I hope they are thriving! That pulled pork and zucchini pickles?! TO DIE FOR. read more

So I ordered money muscle through door dash. I was prepared for the food to be dry and feel completely upset about the quality for the price. I was wrong , the food was amazing and the brisket was moist and tender , the ribs fell off the bone and the bbq sauces are award winning just on their own. This place is a must try and although the prices are still kind of high , nowadays what isn't lol . I would and will order from them again. read more

I tried out their Texas brisket sandwich and it was pretty good. It says Texas brisket but the flavor profile is Carolina all the way. I'm guessing the Texas is a nod to the mastering of brisket in the Lone Star state. I haven't tried anything else yet but the friendliness of the staff, the location and the fact that the baked beans are pork-free will have me returning to try other options. I'll be trying the wings, baked beans and cornbread next. The Riverdale location has an open eating area great for sitting down with a few friends. It shares space with other eateries so large groups wouldn't work. read more

Food was good, ordered a few different items but my favorite are the smoked wings. Staff is attentive however I find that the platters are a bit on the precier size for the small portion that it brings. Ordered the brisket and wish they had put more then what I paid for. Coleslaw is good and the different sauces as well. read more

NEVER ORDER DELIVERY HERE. They use their own courier service for delivery and charge an $11 delivery fee and ask for tip so I paid $16 to get the food delivered (probably a 20 minute drive). I ordered it 12 hours in advance and it's already an hour late. My recommendation is to not order delivery from them. They charge more money then other delivery services and provide a worse service. UPDATE: This is insane. They finally got a driver to drop it off 2 hours late. Except they didn't... I got a notification that the food was dropped off but it wasn't there. I went to the front desk, it wasn't there. I went to other floors in my building, it wasn't there. I went to other buildings, it wasn't there. read more

New customer Delivery! The brisket sandwich was tasty but the amount given was about 1/4 cup. So Overpriced ($17). There was no BBQ sauce on the sandwich and the bun was soggy. The sweet potato fries wedges tasted old as if they'd been under a heat lamp all day. The Bread pudding was meh...in taste. The portion was tiny for the amount of money you pay ($13). The Sriracha cheddar biscuits were ok but they weren't fresh either. Lastly please label your sauces! I poured chocolate on the brisket bun thinking it was BBQ sauce since there was no sauce on the brisket sandwich! read more

I like the texture & flavor of this brisket and I'm picky because I grew up on NC BBQ & honed my palate on TX brisket. It's as flavorful as TX brisket but has more fat. More fat = more flavor but I remove it before eating so less brisket to actually eat. It's a bit on the salty side so I get tired of it quickly but then I often hear that my cooking "needs more SALT" from the peanut gallery. Overall, a winner especially when there are zero contenders IMO in this neck of the woods. You get your choice of BBQ sauce. The NC is vinegary in my experience but MMBBQ's version was tangy but less vinegary than NC. Tried KC sauce tonight & liked it very much. I typically do not use much BBQ sauce but add cole slaw on top and a bun no matter the type of BBQ - needs cole slaw with it. read more

Money Muscle BBQ - Brisket 1 lb - Food Trucks Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

We ordered dinner from this new bbq spot via Uber Eats. The food was fantastic. My fiancee had the Carolina pulled pork bbq, with mac and cheese. It was a little bland, lacking that smoke flavour, but it was still great. The mac, though. Wow. Super creamy, and delicious. I ordered the ribs. They had a rich smoke to them, and were tender, meaty, and delicious. Their bbq sauce is a bit more tangy than I'm used to, but it was good. They lose a star, though, not only for the bland pork but especially for the lackadaisical approach to food safety with delivery, something especially important in our COVID time. The bag had a single seal tape on it, but the tape had a 2" gap, and didn't seal the bag at all. Not only could I remove items easily and replace them, but the bag was basically wide open. The piece of tape seemed token. read more

Money Muscle BBQ - Thanks for the tamper proof seal. I'm glad to know that my food was secure and safe. There's NO WAY anyone could reach in that bag. - Food Trucks Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Ordered take out to try a new bbq place. Not bad! We got: Texas style brisket (good; I don't like mine with a lot of fat), bbq ribs (almost fall of the bone!), collard greens (not bad), French fries (standard but good), and baked beans (tasty but honestly too sweet for me). I wish they had some yams! I like that the menu clearly says what's gluten free, etc, which made ordering a breeze. For me, a solid option when I want some decent ribs. read more

We loved everything that we ordered at Money Muscle bbq! The brisket sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. The coleslaw perfectly balanced the brisket, so it didn't feel too heavy and the sauce was so good! read more

Hate to be the one naysayer, but my brisket sandwich was inedible and the quality issues could be because I ordered via Uber eats (though it got here still warm). I'm not a native Texan, but I have had bbq brisket in Texas and Arkansas that was considerably better than this. No flavor at all - and I ordered all the sauces so I could taste them, South Carolina was ok but the others were watery and pretty tasteless. The one highlight was the cornbread - it was great, flavorful and the butter on the side very nice. read more

I used Door Dash to order a brisket sandwich from All Set Restaurant, which apparently is a black-owned restaurant that also owns this companion company (Muscle Money BBQ) as well. The sandwich was DELICIOUS! The brisket was moist and juicy. The bbq sauce was PERFECTION. The cole slaw was yummy, and I was worried about that because I do not even like mayonnaise. Everything about this sandwich was finger-licking good. The French fries it came with were soggy by the time it reached to me, but that means they were hot when they put them in the paper bag. I couldn't even complain because everything was just so darn good. I will definitely be back! 5 stars of out of 5! read more

I recently had Money Muscle BBQ cater an event that I was hosting and the food was AMAZING! The greens, biscuits, and wings were a few of the most popular dishes but everything was good. I absolutely recommend visiting for a casual meal or for catering an event. Jen was great to work with and I look forward to dining with them again soon! read more

My fiancé and I ordered dinner here via Uber Eats this evening. We ordered: Texas brisket, quarter chicken dark meat, Carolina pulled pork sandwich, honey sriracha smoked wings, mac & cheese, beans and cornbread. We wanted to sample their menu! Everything was pretty delicious, there isn't another spot like this in the downtown Silver Spring area so it is great to have that new option to add to our dining list. We were a little skeptical about getting the cornbread since it was $7, but the portion was large and it was delicious. The mac & cheese was creamy and the beans were good, not the best but not terrible. The brisket was tender, a little salty but we didn't mind! The sandwich was okay, didn't seem to have any sauce which is kind of disappointing since I love sauces but I just won't order that again in the future or I will ask for extra sauce! Overall, we were impressed and will definitely order from here again soon. We would order the mac & cheese, brisket, cornbread and chicken again. My fiancé loved the chicken! Crispy and flavorful skin and juicy and moist on the inside. read more

Been a while since I've been here, and likely won't go back. The pulled pork was dry...really dry. Very little smoke and what flavor was there was mostly from a sauce that had been added but still didn't keep the meat from being dry. It was also overshredded to the point of being dust-like in texture. It was wasn't even recognizable as smoked pork. This was just really bad barbecue. The way it was placed on the sandwich was also a wreck. Everything just spilled out, in part because they piled on so much of the not-very-good pork meat that it left no room for the other parts of the sandwich. Again, this was just poor barbecue on top of a sloppy and poorly executed sandwich. I really wish this place was better because I'd love a good barbecue option that doesn't involve driving all the way to Riverdale, but this is definitely not that option. read more

My family ordered the crab macaroni and cheese to complement our Easter meal and everyone loved the taste and flavor. It was mild and creamy but not overpowering. We'll definitely be ordering more soon! read more

Our art association brought Money Muscle BBQ to serve patrons during our annual Labor Day weekend art show in Kensington - wow, wow, wow. The food was delicious (I had the pulled pork sandwich, my friend had the brisket sandwich); the staff was wonderful, and we sat under the umbrella savoring all of it. In addition, engaging in securing the truck for this event was positive in every way, and I look forward to including them again at a future event. THANK YOU! read more

Never even heard of this place until it was recommended on Uber eats. What perfect time to have some BBQ but in the beginning of summer. Got the wings which were dry rub and the sauce on the side was the North Carolina gold sauce wasn't a fan of that had to use my own sauce tasted to vinegar based for me but the wings were perfect size nice and Smokey with some moist bites, although some were a bit dry still good. The collard greens like something I've tried at someone's grandmothers house that put it down lol, nice flavor not salty at all like some peoples greens can be. The green beans were ok I liked the sliver of garlic they had with it and only if you got the garlic and the green bean together would the flavor be amazing with just the green bean it lacked salt and was just a soggy thing is the only way I can put it. All in all I would order here again for some bbq without a doubt saw more than a couple things on the menu that sounded appetizing. Until next time ! read more

ordered the bbq ribs and greens. The ribs lacked seasoning and were too reminiscent of kitchen ribs----i.e. ribs that someone boiled and made in the oven. Missing smoke/wood/charcoal taste. The greens were bland. I will try this place one more time---the vegan menu looked interesting. read more

Just tried the new location at Fryer's Roadside on New Hampshire Ave. It is amazing! We had the Caroline pulled pork, the brisket and wings. All were excellent. The sides were delicious and the service was terrific. Definitely a big win for the Colesville area. I'm a BBQ snob, and this won me over. If they add a roasted half chicken to the menu (my husband's favorite), I'll never need to go to any other BBQ place! read more

Ordered ribs, fried Oreos, mushroom risotto, baked beans. Half the ribs were excessively well done. Ribs have too much powdered spice, and not enough smoke. A lot of cartilage. Overall kind of a NC flavor, but muddled. Risotto was excessively buttery and heavy, and tasted like smoked fontina. Beans were too spicy for my taste, made with huge kidney beans, and my vegetarian kid rejected them. Oreos are nice, and suitably greasy. Overall, much worse and more expensive than Rocklands or urban barbecue were in their prime. Big step below quality of 2fifty. read more

Whoot whoot finally some delicious BBQ in Silver Spring. Everything was tasty from the baby back ribs ) so tender), to shredded pork so moist, the sides where amazing from coleslaw, Mac & cheese, and the biscuit! Love it all . Ordered on their app and picked it up at All Set. Yummy and all was well packed for the transport home. Definitely coming back for more! read more

A friend and I dined at all set and ordered the vegan BBQ menu. Our server was very friendly and personable which made the experience quite comfortable. We sat outside on the patio and appreciated the heaters even on pretty mild evening. We split the mushroom sandwich and the eggplant sandwich. The mushroom sandwich it was supposed to resemble pulled pork but it was mostly just mushrooms with barbecue sauce on top. It tasted good but wasn't all too unique. The eggplant sandwich was supposed to be Nashville hot chicken. It was breaded and fried but it did not come off as very spicy. We got pulled sweet potato fries and normal fries which were both pretty great. I find it hard to get sweet potato fries that aren't too crispy or too mushy and these were just right. We also ordered a side of cornbread it was pretty tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. read more

This place has great BBQ and somehow manages to have even better service! Everything we ordered (and we tried it all!) was delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered from the Money Muscle truck on 6/16/21 at Brookmont Farmers Market. Flavors were pleasant, everything (ribs and veggies) skewed a little sweet, but my ribs had no smoke. (A recent Washington Post review says that a wood smoker is now in use, but you couldn't tell from my order.) Some additional disappointments: -Ordered a second main dish (pulled pork), but it was not included in my order. Let it go b/c it hadn't been added to the bill. -Ordered 2 BBQ sauces, neither was supplied. -Ribs are sold in 1/3 racks, described as "4 bones." Unfortunately, "4 bones" at Money Muscle delivers only 3 ribs of meat, because one bone is at the exterior of the rack. As a result, the meat in my two 1/3 racks at Money Muscle added up to the standard half rack at every other BBQ place. Disappointing to receive less meat than I thought I was purchasing. Can't recommend until service is improved, meat tastes like wood smoke, and the portion size of the 1/3 rack of ribs is described more accurately. (Note to Money Muscle: better to under-promise and over-deliver; the rib portions, unfortunately, do the opposite-- the description suggests more meat than is served.) read more

This place could have potential but I am not impressed with the barbecue sauce. They don't have mashed potatoes & the beans aren't sweet. The meat is dry! Looking for an inexpensive down home place with juicy meat plus more sides. read more

Short rib: to die for. Pulled pork: juicy, nice, fantastic. Chicken: juicy and delicious. Coleslaw is light and good. Sriracha biscuits are the spiciest thing we got and the only thing too spicy for the kids. Cornbread is sweet and corny. Mac and cheese is creamy and has an herby breadcrumb top that was a hit with half our party. Sauces (we got NC and SC) are flavorful and not very spicy - add your own if you like them super hot. NC was not vinegary enough for me but it has jammy sweetness others loved. Overall we loved it! Will become our regular BBQ place. read more

Glad to support these folks. They might make the best ribs in town. The collards, pulled pork, and coleslaw are all on point too. Do yourself a favor though and get some of their mac & cheese. It might even be better than mine. read more

Could've been better in the name of service. Was there about an hour ago. Ordered some ribs & Texas brisket sandwich. Just got home & ic my Texas brisket sandwich is just brisket in a container. NO BUN, NO PICKLES & NO SLAW ‍ ! Not mad, but very disappointed. read more

We really enjoyed a wide selection of things we tried (brisket, pulled pork, chicken). The sauces were great too and pickup was real easy. We also tried the vegetarian option of the Mushroom Sandwich and it was incredibly tasty. read more

First time ordering. Online ordering was user friendly. We had a big order in that we wanted to sample many things since we were entertaining. The beef short rib was very tender, smoked well, the honey siracha wings were a hit w the young guys, the brisket was amazing! We also ordered Mac n cheese, slaw, baked beans, Cornbread and collard greens....as a woman w Southern roots, I'm picky about BBQ and those sides....All were excellent but I'd rather have had my beans without meat in them. We also ordered the strawberry shortcake which was good as well, just needed a bit more whipped cream. Something was missing from my order and the manager drove it to my house himself! That's great service! Only upgrade I'd suggest is that for the cost of the meats, getting 1 or 2 small sides and a cornbread muffin would be nice...sort of like a platter. We spent over $200 and that was largely bc of the number of sides we ordered and not knowing what size they were. Although delicious, $8 for cornbread is a lot. We will definitely order again and share w our neighbors and friends about this great BBQ place in Silver Spring!! read more

Love, love, love Money Muscle BBQ!! I usually order the 1/2 chicken with the Kansas City BBQ sauce and it is perfection every time! I treated my 90+ year old uncle and aunt to one of their Superbowl specials and they absolutely loved it too. Their sister restaurant in Silver Spring is named ALL SET on Fenton St. Was there yesterday and everything was perfect! The tempura shrimp appetizer is to die for and the shrimp are huge! Treat yourself, you won't be sorry! read more

Ordered delivery using their website, it was easy to do and fast. If you're looking for solid 'cue you will not be disappointed- the meat was fresh and the sauces were excellent. I did see a little room for improvement if they want to be up there with the best BBQ places in the DMV- the pork could have been smokier, and the ribs could have used a little more pull. But, they are on the right track and this is already the best 'cue in the neighborhood. read more

The pulled pork here in particular is a star. I'm also a big fan of the ribs. So tender and juicy. Don't skip the cornbread either!

Pretty solid BBQ from the the guy behind All Set seafood. The sandwiches and turkey legs are fantastic. The ribs are decent though I've had better. The cashier recommended the mac'n'cheese but I didn't really care for it... strong sort of stinky cheese flavors and not enough salt; I'll order a different side next time. The outside tables under a tend next to the food truck in DTSS is a fun atmosphere. My biggest gripe is probably that they didn't list their prices on the menu on the truck... you had to ask the cashier for a menu with prices which felt kind of awkward and sneaky. read more
