“Have you checked out Midnight Deli yet at 4701 Georgia Ave NW? It’s looks like a regular little convenience store, but I noticed a smoker outside a couple weeks ago when I was walking to Buna after your coverage. I went by Midnight Deli yesterday afternoon to see what was going on and they had some really good bbq going on – I got an order of 4 bourbon wings and 4 smoked maple wings. The bbq is available Weds – Sun, but they have other items on Mon and Tues. They also sell 6 packs of beer and a few other random stuff. I spoke with the guys running it a bit and they said they opened in January.

On the Weds thru Sunday they do the smoked meat dishes. Ribs, wings, and it looks like lamb. That have 4 house BBQ sauces as well. Mac n cheese is really good. He said as they get feedback from customers, they are looking to refine their beer and wine stock as well as offer breakfast sandwiches or other items if there is demand.”
