On business travel this week, decided to try out Harry’s Smokehouse in Pentagon City Mall, Arlington, VA. It was within walking distance of the hotel (18-Aug-2014). This place was in the mall, --so no real “hole in the wall†or smoky aroma and BBQ type character that I like when walking up to and entering BBQ restaurant.
Tried the hickory smoked Carolina pull pork, and the BBQ baked beans and two of the Port City IPA’s as they were on the happy hour price. The menu said that the portion size was 1/2 pound. That is about what I received. The Pulled Pork and baked beans entrée was $11.50, the IPA’s were a $3.00 happy hour price.
The staff was friendly and attentive. The food arrived quickly, along with the cold frosty and refreshing beverages.
The food was good, the pork had a hit of smoke flavor but no bark that I could see or taste, nor was it dry. The BBQ baked beans were also good, having some smaller bits of pork.
The table had four unlabeled plastic squeeze type bottles of sauces that did not look like they had ever been opened. They were pushed aside when we arrived at the table, so I really didn’t notice them until after I had finished.
I will probably go back for another visit if I cannot find another BBQ place to try, --will try the different sauces if I do go back.
