RSS FeedBBQ Restaurant Coming To PQ! (410 7th St NW)
Thanks to Craig and Luke for writing in to let us know that Hill Country, a BBQ restaurant straight out of NYC, is going to set up shop in Penn Quarter! WaPo’s Going Out Gurus have the full scoop. The 250-seat restaurant is still a year away from opening at 410 7th St NW, the site of the soon-to-be-former (?) Lifestyles USA clothing store.
Some BBQ aficionados may be disappointed to learn that Hill Country’s BBQ methods use no sauce. Instead, they opt to season meats with a dry rub consisting of salt, pepper, and cayenne. However, their baked beans “with burnt ends” do sound interesting. Chowhound has some initial discussion grilling as well.

Hopefully Douglas will come through with more of his big-name retail deals across the street (assuming a grocery store isn’t an option at this point).
Something is off with whoever is marketing the other side (east side) of 7th…..the side with all the restuarants (West side) is nondecript 80s or 90s architecture. The empty east side has some architectural jewels and it has more places moving out than moving in and its anchor is the a Tshirt place (a good one at that).
I know I know, its in a normal “transition” but does a healthy transition mean storefronts empty for up to 5 years?
Someone start a writein campaign to get the Clara Barton museum people to commit to open by 2020!!1 And, if we dont get a committment from anyone for the grocery space in 1 year, break the space up into 2 10,000 sq ft spaces so they can be more readily leased.
I tried to contact someone about the Clara Barton museum and never received a response. Anyone know what the plans are for that space or even who is in charge?????
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
That side of 7th between D and E is going to be quite the restaurant row with Hill Country, Wagawama, SEI and Jaleo. Now its time to populate the other side of the street.
