Sthitch Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Anybody tried Capital Q? Recommendations or warnings?http://www.capitalqbbq.com/ On my my two visits I found the pulled pork to be dry and flavorless, however, I did like the baked beans, but not enough to remember why.

Antonio Burrell Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Anybody tried Capital Q? Recommendations or warnings?http://www.capitalqbbq.com/ tender but flavorless ribs, dry brisket and they serve fried rice for christsakes....I know it's a function of location but still...fried rice!?!eta: I actually had some decent ribs and sausage from Old Glory the other night (not my first choice, but my first choice is 500 miles away). I got them dry and they were well seasoned, tender, good smoke and just darn tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithA Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Anybody tried Capital Q? Recommendations or warnings?http://www.capitalqbbq.com/ Ive been several times over the years including once last month. The brisket is ok. The meat is better than regular roast beef sandwich, but not super flavorful. The slightly spicy sauce is also only ok, not great. it is a good location for a quick BBQ fix though.

Adam23 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I eat there fairly often since its close to my place. I like their brisket quite a bit. I'd say probably the best you can get in DC proper. It has always been tender but sometimes dry. Their smoked turkey is pretty good as well. Honestly have never tried the ribs since they have never really looked that great to me. Their sides vary. The baked beans are good but their potato salad isn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbh Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 From their Facebook post earlier today: Capital Q is closing after 15 years in Chinatown. Our last day will be July 14th. I'm going to miss their beef brisket..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dedrick Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 That does make me sad. It wasn't a place I ate at often, but I always found it to be a tasty, affordable and reliable option near the Verizon Center before games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaLawyer Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I stuck my nose inside this joint a few weeks ago and was overwhelmed by the fragant scent of roasting meats. The line, however, was much too long for me to wait. I quickly fled and ate a meal at (probably) an inferior establishment. I am going to wait in line later this week and sample the real thing before it goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saf Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Oh, that's sad. I liked the stuffed potatoes - really, who thought to put BBQ on a baked potato? I also like when they have pulled pork tamales for a special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpamlin Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 A long time ago, I thought the Q was the level of Rocklands. Even though I haven't been in years, I am sad to see this place go. Hill Country must have brought about the Q's swift demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
