Coming from NC, barbecue was a main staple of my diet. We’ve had a hard time finding some good barbecue, and Hill Country is definitely not like North Carolina bbq, but it is a good second with their Texas style bbq.
Hill Country has a unique set-up. They sit you down and each person gets a meal ticket. Then you go to the “market” and order up your meat then get your bread and sides. A friend and I share The Two-Step (for 2) or each get The Pitmaster if we want different sides (lean brisket, pork spare rib, beef rib; quarter chicken, and two sides).
If I am not as hungry (or wanting leftovers), I like really like the Longhorn Brisket Chomp which comes with 1/3 lb. lean brisket, a side, and cornbread. When they slice the meat, it won’t look like much, but you it will most likely fill you up, but if it doesn’t, then go back to the marketplace or eat dessert!
Hill Country can end up being on the expensive side, so make a reservation on Savored DC for up to 30% or sometimes LivingSocial/Groupon/Travelzoo have a Hill Country deal too.
