This is how great BBQ looks
And it tastes even better than it looks
Traditional Texas brisket, dry-rubbed ribs, smoked wings, pulled pork, chickens — all carefully smoked for hours over a combination of hard and fruit woods.
At Cinder, we focus on the natural full flavor of the meats. Our dry-rubbed seasoning enhances rather than smothers. And we offer some original, kickin’ sauces to enjoy. We don’t forget the sides, either: Slaw. Mac ‘n cheese. Collards. Bourbon peach baked beans…
Our Pit Master isn’t fooling around. This is serious business.
Great barbeque deserves to be accompanied by great drinks.
Cinder offers an impressive collection of whiskies, including award-winning bourbons, ryes, single malts and blends. Our full service bar is stocked with more than a dozen beers, wines and cocktails.
Our partnership with leading distilleries allows us the opportunity to select single barrels of whiskey, unique to us. We work diligently to go “to the source” to pick these exceptional expressions. Quantities are limited, but you’ll always find multiple selections at the bar.
We dedicate hours and hours to our dry-rubbed flavors.
Welcome to Cinder, home of Ciara — the only woman Pit Master in the DC area that we know of!
Our Pit Master Ciara is obsessed with food, particularly how time, temperature and smoke impart flavor and texture in her food. From mandating aged briskets, to breed standards for pork and using fresh vegetables in preparing house-made sides, excellence drives her. Always tinkering for perfection has led to the BEST bark on a brisket we have seen. Come see for yourself!
