Confusion about Hill Country opening dates

Hill Country BBQ

We previously reported, based on a tweet from the Washington Post, that Hill Country BBQ is opening on March 12th.

This makes sense, since we know some neighbors were invited to a soft opening on March 9th and 10th.

However, a construction worker caught Penn Quarter insider creepily peering between cracks in the paper covering the windows at Hill Country last night and informed us that the opening will actually be March 17th.

We are not sure this is true, but the worker did let us inside the restaurant, and it looks like they have more work to do.  Nonetheless, the work must be done by the March 9th soft opening, so we are hoping the March 12th date is correct.
