Couple of (Relatively) New Houston Area BBQ Joints

1) The Witt Pit Rosenberg, TX
Ate there recently. Had brisket, ribs, and sausage. Very solid BBQ. I would compare it to the Lockhart joints in quality. Would gladly go again.
2) Ate at The Pit Room in Houston after returning from the far east (to purge my innards). I usually agree with Daniel Vaughn on his reviews and who gave this joint good reviews. But it was among the worst I've ever eaten. Had brisket, spare ribs, and beef sausage. The brisket was ok - certainly salvageable. The spare ribs need to be taken off the menu until it's fixed. Way over rubbed and not fall off-the-bone, nor even tear off-the-bone. More like tug with all your might and hope. The beef sausage was bland and noticeably dry. Almost every thing I've seen 'in print' elsewhere raves about The Pit Room but this was my experience. No intent to return.

Had Killen's STQ tonight. Part steakhouse, part BBQ or smoke themed items. Got the beef short rib and ended up having my 7 yr old daughter eat almost half. If you can grab a reservation do it.

You're out of your fricking mind, The Pit Room is some of the best BBQ in the state.

Been to The Pit Room twice now and loved it both times. In my opinion, their BBQ was awesome and the other stuff (Tacos, chili, etc.) was great as well.
By no means do I consider myself a BBQ connoisseur or foodie in general, but I thought the Pit Room was fantastic, especially for the location. Much better than the Lockhart BBQ I've had.
While I generally agree with offshoreangler and often support his opinions, I personally wouldn't go so far to write off Killen's entirely yet. Granted, I've only been to Killen's once. However, for now, given the location of the Pit Room, the barrier to entry is much lower, and I'm immensely more likely to frequent the Pit Room than Killens.
