What part of Houston you staying?
Plenty of great options all over the area.
Truth BBQ is good place to look into.

From my post in the BBQ Rambling thread:

Houston is a large place and all sprawled out. Traffic is a pain so be mindful of that.

On the good side of things, Houston is the BBQ capital of the world. Some top-shelf joints in and around town:

The Pit Room
Killens (Pearland)
Roegels (Voss Rd location)
Corkscrew (Old Town Spring)
Brett's BBQ Shop (Katy)
Truth
Pinkertons
Harlem Rd (Richmond)
Brisket House

Some others I've not yet been to but are reputable:
Feges (two locations)
Tejas (Tomball)
Blood Brothers (Bellaire)

Pinkertons for great brisket. Get a ranch water from the bar to wash it down.

Pinkerton taught me how to cook brisket. Love their fatty….. other recs are solid too. If I’m picking a few, would recommend Pit Room, Corkscrew, & Truth as well. Lots of good options. Gatlin’s had surprisingly good fatty brisket too.

I saw that on Thursdays they do $1 brisket fold overs along with happy hour drinks. Need to check that out.

Blood brothers is great. They have a regular daily menu of Standard Texas BBQ fair and also have a rotating daily menu of BBQ/Asian fusion.

just pre-ordered the Brisket Enchilada special for tomorrow to try them for the first time.

My usual go-to places are Truth and Feges. I went to J-Bar-M a couple times but wrote them off after they ran off Willow the pitmaster who set the place up.
