I was about to say, Pit Room is my favorite Houston BBQ ribs.

My ranking is obviously subjective and people won't agree, but it is based on brisket alone (always ordered as moist/fatty)

quote:

Tier 1

1 Truth
2 Feges
3 Killen's
4 Willow's (inside shady acres)

Tier 2

5 Corkscrew
6 Buck's (eado in Lucky's)
7 Tejas Chocolate and BBQ
8 Pinkerton's
9 Pit Room
10 Roegel's

Tier 3

11 Jackson St.
12 Brett's (Katy)
13 Brisket House
14 Gatlin's
15 Brookstreet (Montrose)
16 Rudy's

Though let’s be honest, no one goes to these places for the side veggies. Delicious, nevertheless.
I love when places have a green/lower carb side option. Collard greens from Truth and Feges are awesome.

And that smoked/sautéed okra they do is by far my favorite side dish of any BBQ joint I’ve been to. Though let’s be honest, no one goes to these places for the side veggies. Delicious, nevertheless.


I love that okra

Their Mac and chees & tortillas are great too

Hopefully the AZN instagram crowd migrates here that way I can finally get a table again at The Pit Room.

All you little nerds can go wait in line with your latte, daisy duke shorts, ray bans, and Toms shoes.

Houston has good BBQ and this place will be in the middle of the herd.

Heard good things, but so far away and I never head that way. The Truth Brenham location worked out for trips back and forth to Austin.

Also on my to-do list is Blood Bros BBQ

Agree on the first part, but have you eaten at Truth BBQ?

Feges is my favorite brisket. Their collard greens are their only side that’s worth a shite, though, IMO.

But that brisket, I could eat all week.

real estate costs in the heights would seem to dictate a more extensive schedule than they have kept in brenham.

Definitely. Traffic on Yale and Heights can already be a shite show, especially when a train comes through. That HEB is going to be crazy.

They had a chance a couple years ago to expand Yale around I10 and add some turn lanes, but they didn’t do it.

Looks like Houston a little pricier than the Brenham location. Pic from Houston restaurant and the menu pic online reflects the Brenham location.






Some other pics from IG
