Looking for Recommendations for the best bbq in Houston. I have been to Pinkertons, Papas, and Killens.
Thanks

Pinkertons is my personal favorite. Other answers you will probably get include blood bros, truth, pit room, feges.

Such a hard question. Truth, Blood Bros, Pit Room if you want some tacos with your bbq.

We’ve started splitting hairs on the best. They’re all world class and they all have something different about em.

Truth for central Texas, Blood Bros for a little Chinese spin, Pit Room is a little Tex Mex, Pinkertons and Roegels for East Texas, Feges has some awesome flavors from their time spent as chefs at other restaurants, Kohi has some Viet influences.

New top 50 list comes out Monday, so if any of these hit top 10 I’m sure the lines will be out the arse for a while.

Truth BBQ gets my vote as best.

Pinkertons is good but it'll cost you more than eating at Truth or Killens since they don't have plates. EVerything is weighed a la carte.

Top Tier:
Truth
Pinkertons
Killens
Roegels
Feges
Corkscrew

Pit Room is solid but comparing just the meat itself, I don't rank it as high as the above.

Disclosure: Haven't tried Blood Bros

Really impossible to name one "the best" as they all do world-class stuff. Some have better sides than others and lesser brisket, etc. Just depends what you're feeling. Roegels doesn't get the love that it should. Maybe a forgotten gem?

Feges is my favorite for brisket.

Sorry I can only add that I was kinda disappointed with The Pit Room after reading so many good things about it.

There’s an underground BBQ joint called Marty’s Meats. They have a laid back lounge attached to it, but I can’t remember the name — something about Luchadors.

A couple guys in this thread may be able to get you access and I think the guy that runs it has posted here. He can be a smug a-hole and stingy with his meats, but it’ll put your arse in the jackpot.

Truth is legit. Also venture out to the hood and try Burns BBQ in Acres Homes. Brooks Place BBQ is in the parking lot if a Krogers in a trailer near Barker Cypress and FM 529… both are black owned small outfits.
