CAPITAL Q QUIT SMOKING JULY 14, 2012

After 15 years of great Texas BBQ, Capital Q will close its doors in Chinatown

Capital Q has been a fixture in Chinatown since December of 1997. It opened within weeks of the once named MCI center and was one of the first businesses to establish itself prior to the massive development in Chinatown/Penn Quarter. Capital Q has served and catered to a wide variety of clientele over the years and has a loyal following of regulars.

Capital Q has been featured on the Food Network, Southern Living Magazine, Houston Chronicle, to name a few. In the past the Q has been a Washingtonian 100 Very Best and Best Bargain Restaurant.

Capital Q wishes to thank its patrons for the loyal support and fond memories over the years and hopes to reopen in the Nation’s Capital again in the future.

If you love BBQ, we know you’ll love the ‘Q.’

In an effort to bring authentic Texas BBQ to the Nation’s Capital, we bring you CAPITAL Q. Some would say BBQ is BBQ. However, not all BBQ are alike or even similar across the U.S.A. Differences range from cooking methods, sauces and meats to cultural interpretation. To some, BBQ is just meat on a grill, but to others, it’s a passion and an art. We believe that it is the purest and first American food, from the native Americans and buffalos to the Texas Rangers in the wilds. Tempers flare when Americans debate who has the best BBQ. Texans, Missourians and North Carolinians have been known to fight over the topic. It’s what makes us proud of our heritage and makes us keep on Q’in.

We feel that Washington has been deprived of great BBQ long enough. We hope to bridge that gap and offer you what we think is the original and best BBQ; TEXAS BBQ, of course. We have recreated the taste and feel of a real TEXAN BBQ joint in downtown Washington, D.C. Our freshly smoked meats and homemade sides are sure to give you the experience and satisfaction of knowing you’ve had BBQ at its best. Try the ‘Q’ and let us know what you think.
