Branded 72

Branded ’72 was born from the legendary O’Brien’s Pit Barbecue, a Metro DC area institution spanning four decades. While our mission is the same-to provide you with the best, authentic Texas barbecue-we also put an extra emphasis on our fresh homemade salads, sides, and desserts. We hope you enjoy the tradition we carry on as well as the new improvements we’ve made. So grab a cold beer, enjoy the music and dig into some true Southern ‘cue!

Our “Pit Masters” have over 90 years of combined, authentic Texas “enclosed pit” barbecuing experience! We use only hickory wood and slow smoke our meats for 16-18 hours to ensure that authentic smokey flavor. The slow smoking art of meats, poultry, and fish produces an amazing taste and tenderness, unequaled by any other cooking method. We maintain and guard the original award-winning cooking techniques–because hey, you don’t mess with perfection!
