Absolute best BBQ in Houston! We had the feast number 2 which was more than enough for 4 people. It gets very busy here and hard to find parking we were here on a Sunday afternoon and had to drive around in circles to find parking. They do have a large seating area outside which is great. The ribs were very good. Honestly all of the meat is good it literally falls off the bone.

If this isn't the undisputed GOAT of BBQ in Houston then I don't know what is.The Brisket is just simply glorious.The rub, the flavor, the fattyness, it's all perfect. The combination of flavors and textures are perfection.The beef rib is superb and the meat is so tender it literally fell off the bone when I picked it up.The sausage is delightful, the turkey and chicken are just as good. The sides and BBQ sauce are the cherry on top of a feast.I'll absolutely come back here for seconds.

Definitively a must try in Houston! This could very well be the best BBQ we have ever had. Tender juicy fall apart brisket, even the lean required no chewing. The pork ribs were another table favorite. Fall off the bone with an exterior that provides some bite if that makes any sense. The meats were so good, you forget all about the sides even though the sides were darn good.

The dining area was clean, not big although there’s seating outside. Limited parking. First night in Houston. We grabbed a table and then ordered to be sure we could sit inside. Within an hr there was a line out the door! This was a Monday evening between 6-7.? I can’t imagine what this place is like on the weekend. The food was awesome. I really enjoyed the pull pork tacos. The elote is a must!? The charro beans were ok. A little spicy, not much to brag about. The string beans, don’t know the correct name to call them were very unique. A bit pricey but worth it.

My friend recommended this restaurant. We went there at a Wednesday evening and it was packed with people. But the service was really fast. Both my husband and I ordered three meat platter. We both ordered pork ribs and briskets but different kinds of sausages and sides. Briskets were very tender and pork ribs very tasteful. Sausage was a little too dry for me. Sides are average. Definitely a five star?

So the pit room was good BBQ. MY daughter loved the pulled pork. I had a sausage sandwich witch was good and a chop beef. The chop beef was ok I'm not going to knock it because I like alot of seasoning. The BBQ sauce was good. I like the BBQ sauce when it sweet and a tad bit tangy.

My wife and I were visiting Houston for the July 4th weekend. She wanted some ribs. We Google some places. The Pit Room was the closest one that was open. My wife ordered a one meat plate ? ? and I ordered a three meat plate. My wife got 3 ribs on her plate. I got on rib on my plate and paid for 3 portions. Jacked up. Had I gotten two ribs on my three meat plate I would have been okay. I felt jacked by the extra charge.

This place is always packed and a line out the door. It's a small little restaurant but has plenty of outside seating. Had dinner there during the week. Had the brisket and ribs, no smoky flavor. We had the chips and queso and that was good. I believe it's more of a quick bite. Surprisingly we will not be back. It did look really good but not what we expected.

Brisket and pulled pork dinner was delicious.

We visited early on a Sunday morning for breakfast tacos, so it wasn’t crowded at all. We asked for the beans and eggs on the side, and thankfully, The Pit Room was able to accommodate this request.The beans were super salty. The eggs were cheesy and fluffy. The brisket and pulled pork were both great.
