Harry’s Smokehouse
Posted by ryan / Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
The Harry’s Tap Room within the friendly confines of the Pentagon City Mall no longer exists. Henceforth, it should be referred to as Harry’s Smokehouse. The emphasis on great service, quality, value and consistency continues however.
Specialties include succulent burgers, palatable barbeque, and craft beer. All ingredients are guaranteed to be local and organic.
Executive Chef Alex Reyes hickory smokes all of their naturally-raised meat on the premises. You now have the option of ordering the likes of spare ribs, pork butt, pork sausage, whole chickens, salmon, catfish and beef brisket. All of which can be purchased a la carte or as a meal. You might like a side of baked beans, broccoli, coleslaw, country greens, french fries, macaroni and cheese, or sweet potato wedges to complete your entree.
As for the reason for the sudden change, I think co-owner Michael Sternberg explains it best.
“We are raising the bar of iconic American food,” he said. “Whenever we put burgers or barbeque on the Tap Room menu, they became an instant hit. So we challenged Chef Reyes to create a menu based on a simple premise…really good burgers, barbeque, fried chicken and addicting sides. He has, and now we are opening a place dedicated to it.”
Makes perfect sense to me!

Reading between Mr Sternberg’s statement – the tap room failed, so we’re launching another D-list establishment with an emphasis on crappy service and organic, locally sourced fat. Welcome to Harry’s Smokehouse.
