About Us
Cinder BBQ, located at 800 Upshur Street Northwest in Washington, DC, is a traditional Texas-style barbecue restaurant offering a mouthwatering selection of smoked meats including brisket, ribs, wings, pulled pork, and chicken. Our Pit Master carefully smokes the meats for hours over a combination of hard and fruit woods to bring out their natural full flavor.
We believe in enhancing the flavor of our meats with dry-rubbed seasoning rather than overpowering them. Our original sauces add an extra kick to your meal, and our delicious sides like slaw, mac 'n cheese, collards, and bourbon peach baked beans complement the main dishes perfectly.
In addition to our delectable barbecue offerings, Cinder BBQ boasts an impressive collection of whiskies, including award-winning bourbons, ryes, single malts, and blends. Our full-service bar also offers a variety of beers, wines, and cocktails for you to enjoy.
Pit Master Ciara is dedicated to perfecting the art of barbecue, ensuring that every dish served at Cinder BBQ is of the highest quality. Our commitment to excellence has earned us a reputation as one of the best neighborhood joints in DC, and we are proud to be a part of the Petworth community.

"Delicious brisket! Also loved the Mac and cheese and baked beans. A lot of barbecue places make soupy Mac and cheese, but not this place. They do it right. Also worth mentioning the terrific menu of whiskey options! I loved it. I plan to come back!"
"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."
"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!"
