Patrons will choose from six different sauces to go along with their meat.
“I compare barbecue to wine,” General Manager Dana Mangus told Bethesda Magazine. “Every palate is going to be different and we want to serve those different tastes.”

Magnus said a signature dish at the restaurant is the Frito pie appetizer, which has cheese, jalapeños, onions and chili on top of Frito chips in a cut-open Frito bag.
The restaurant will also serve 42 beers mostly from regional breweries, along with milkshakes with bourbon. Lincoln's will seat 315 diners, and will host weekly live music events with local bands.
Lincoln's BBQ is run by The Restaurant Group, which is the same company that opened A.G. Kitchen.
The Assistant General Manager Philip Reeder told Bethesda Magazine that the company closed A.G. Kitchen because there are several Cuban and Latin restaurants in the Silver Spring area, and research shows there's a lack of barbecue options.
Once Lincoln's BBQ is fully operational, their hours will be: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. They will also serve brunch with Bloody Mary and margarita bars Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
