Zig Zag BBQ

Kensington’s Zig Zag BBQ offers classic Texas barbecue staples like pork ribs, brisket, and turkey breast. And while you can kind of get bbq as good at a few other places in town, what sets them apart are their loaded sandwiches, creative sides, and how incredibly consistent they are. You can’t go wrong with the turkey sandwich, layered with blueberry jam, mayo, and caesar-y kale, or their brisket sandwich, topped with pickles, onions, and peppery bbq sauce. For sides, they have a dill and horseradish-heavy potato salad, and a mac and cheese that blends queso béchamel that tastes like a cheesy butter in your mouth. Add a fluffy square of their cornbread with melty miso maple butter on top and you’ll have a meal well worth looking for parking for 35 minutes.
