John Snedden opened his first Rocklands restaurant in 1990 in Washington DC, and 31 years later the BBQ is just as flavorful and tender. Some of their most popular items include their pork belly sandwich, ribs, brisket and pulled chicken. Another fan favorite is the “Pearl” which some have called ugly beautiful! It is a portion of mac-and-cheese, with layers of baked beans and chopped pork, topped with Rocklands BBQ Sauce.
