May 30May 30 Thanks fellas. I assume moist brisket and the beef sausage is the way to go at Pit Room?
May 30May 30 Pit Room has been okay my last two visits. Last time I went, the Wagyu Beef Rib was the tits. The brisket had been a little overdone and was dry.

May 31May 31 Thanks for the recs guys. I’d be careful at the Pit Room Memorial. I wanted 2 dino bones for the dogs. I got one hall of fame beef rib and the other was pretty lean, not much meat, and dry. Moist brisket was point. Beef sausage was a little mushy, but mostly fine. It’s a small thing, but I hate their sauce. I’d probably give it a B compared to its peers in Texas, but definitely an A- in Houston.
May 31May 31 I haven’t been to the Richmond Ave location in ten years but my one visit to the Memorial location suuuuuuucked. The much lauded chicken taco was greasy as hell. Brisket was dry and tasteless, No thanks.

August 10Aug 10 Got beat to shit at the Pit Room on Richmond today. $90 for two beef ribs. I love my dogs and they get months of use from the bone, but that’s goddamned ridiculous. Beef sausage is good. Not Luling or Lockhart good, but great for Houston. Jalapeño cheese sausage is where it’s at. Got some venison too for later.
August 15Aug 15 If I didn’t have spoiled ass dogs, I’d just order a 2 meat plate at Pit Room. Moist brisket, jalapeño sausage + pinto beans, green beans, and get out of there for $25.
September 23Sep 23 I’ll try to be gentle here. It can’t be easy to do halal bbq on high level, but Levant sucked shit. I liked the fried okra. The jalapeño cheese sausage was passable. The smoked lamb chops were dry and bland. The baklava was brittle, bland, and unsweet. This isn’t a new restaurant working out th kinks. They’ve open about a year. It’s just a bad restaurant.

Yeah, I had hoped it was going to be a positive net addition to the Houston BBQ scene, but the fact that I’ve seen absolutely zero buzz about it made me think twice about making a special trip out that way to try it.

September 23Sep 23 Can somebody explain $15 for a chipped beef sandwich?! We’re talking about the trimmings from slicing brisket for by the pound and meat plate orders. I was thinking about getting a sandwich at Feges last week and passed. Link: https://fegesbbq.com/greenway-plaza/#menu Peter’s in Ellinger still charges $3.99. Other than their rent, what makes Feges’ sandwich $11 better than Peter’s?

September 23Sep 23 I love Peter’s. I could drive home from UT and eat a good lunch for about 15 bucks. Simpler times.
September 23Sep 23 these two places are less than a half mile apart, with j bar m less than a mile away. so dumb. j bar m has a lot of events and is set up for smaller live music shows, bbq is avg. willow is dumping lot of $$ into that building, and it's been on going for sometime. they nees to push the bar, hard.

I'd rank it a notch below Truth, Pinkerton's, and Feges. More like J Bar M. That being said, it was a mobile pop up so that may have had something to with it. I'd happily eat there again, but I wouldn't wait in line for it (not that I waited in line for it this time, I didn't). If the other spots I mention are an 8 or 9, this place is probably a 6.5 or 7.
