Tell me where you can go to get outstanding BBQ, buy allocated bourbon by the bottle, watch games, smoke cigars on the patio on Saturday nights, and join their Wednesday whisky club? Our first visit to Cinder was a great experience. The owner and staff were welcoming. The Old Fashioned is reasonably priced and they use Sazerac. If you want a bottle of some great bourbons, look no further. As long as you buy some food, you're good to go. If you like pork rinds. Then you can't miss these... If you don't like them, then you have to order them just to listen to them keep popping at the table for 5 minutes after they are served. Sunday means brisket day. Chopped, sliced, platter or sandwich, or even by the pound. Pulled pork was outstanding. The 12 yr old loved the Mac n Cheese, we loved the collards, and the sauces were great depending on your taste. If you aren't sure, ask for a sample of all of them. Also, on Wed nights, they have a whiskey club night that is something you need to actually be a member of. If you don't live in the Petworth area, it's worth the journey and experience.

Tasty, small portions , yet a bit pricey. I had Had a brisket plate with fries. And the special of the day a trio of birria tacos. The brisket was lacking a smoke ring, but had great bark and flavor, definitely had that classic salt and pepper. Fresh cut fries salted properly. The trio of birria tacos were great. perfect meat , great cheese and the tortillas were nicely fried. Closer to Texas than Brooklyn.

I was craving bbq and Mac and cheese. It was the disappointing and bland bbq ever. The meat portion was large, but it had no taste or smoked flavor. As for the alleged Mac and Cheese…I don’t know how anyone could serve something so awful. It was dry and had no cheese! I will never order barbecue in the DMV ever again. The greens were good. My meal reminded me of a school lunch for $45.

Absolutely stellar barbecue experience! The smoky aroma hits you upon entering, setting the stage for your dining experience. Each bite was a symphony of flavors – tender meats, bold sauces, and a perfect char. The service was as impeccable as the ribs. It is also a bourbon enthusiasts paradise!

Called ahead to sit on the patio with our pup. Arrived and the host sat us outside and notified us it would be raining soon. (We actually did not realize so that was kind) Ordered 2 pineapple ciders- sweet but good for when in the mood for 1 beverage. Ordered 2 entrees of the brisket. The brisket was good but little dry. The sauces reminded us of Taco Bell… Texas and the hot one. I enjoyed my potato salad and the vinegar coleslaw. The peach baked beans were not peachy? My pickles were not pickled… definitely still cucumbers and needed more time before serving. Overall 3.5/5- I’d try it again!
