About Us

Hal & Al’s BBQ was built on road trips, pitmasters, and the belief that great barbecue is meant to be shared. Inspired by flavors discovered across the world and perfected across America — from brisket learned in Houston to ribs inspired by Shujaa’s BBQ in Atlanta — our menu tells the story of the journey that shaped us. Today we proudly stand as the first halal barbecue restaurant in the DMV, serving brisket smoked low and slow, bold signature sides, and craft flavors rooted in tradition. But for us, great barbecue is about more than feeding your appetite — it’s about feeding your soul.
