I have been waiting to eat at this place. I finally came to get the 2 meat plate (brisket and sausage) with potatoe salad and elote. The only suggestion I have is to add 2 breads to the plate instead of 1.


Oh man. Where do I begin? EVERYTHING was delicious. So! The line was out the door but it took us maybe 15 mins before we reached the counter to order. They cut and serve ypur meat as you order on a paper lined tin serving tray. Perfectly safe to eat. Don't freak out people! You order your sides to go with it and don't forget the drinks. Pay and go find a seat indoor or out to enjoy this heavenly food. You know it's gonna be good when you see the BBQ pits outside going. It smells amazing when you pull up the place. We had the Feast No 1. It would be able to serve 2 very very hungry persons or 4 slightly hungry persons. I recommend you come HUNGRY. You won't regret it. Heads up the prices went up. Google has one price and their website has another price. Which surprised us because we looked at their Google page but it wasn't updated. Gross oversight on their part (the pit room management). It makes a difference. Not everyone goes there with extra money in their pockets. You do your research like we did and went with the reviews and the pricing but get there and realized that you are paying $25 more than you planned for. It's not a deal breaker but we made a decision based on the price and reviews. Inflation without information


We were visiting from the UK and this was our first experience of buying cooked US barbecue food to take home. Well, if we visit again it would be high on my list to repeat the experience.
We had brisket, sausage, coleslaw and a German potato salad. They were all really tasty.


If this is what they say is typical Texas barbecue, then I really enjoyed it!
The meats are succulent, the wonderful sauces and side dishes leave nothing to be desired.
If you're in Houston, try The Pit Room.

Se isso é o que dizem ser o típico churrasco do Texas, então eu gostei muito!
As carnes são suculentas, os molhos maravilhosos e os acompanhamentos não deixam nada a desejar.
Se estiver em Houston, experimente o The Pit Room.


Great place for anything barbecue. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. The brisket tacos and the chili are my latest discoveries and both are so good.


Pretty damn excellent. The sausages are some of my favorite. The secret winner is definitely the tortillas made with smoked brisket lard. Beef ribs are always a winner.


BBQ is amazing. Don't go eat here unless your willing to spend good $$$ as it's expensive. The menu is confusing. If I went back I would NOT get a plate but just get the meat by the pound and the sides individually as it would've probably been more worth it. Their plates don't give you must meat for the price.
Brisket 10/10
Pork Rib 10/10
Pulled Pork 5/10
Turkey 8/10
Elote 8/10
Mac and Cheese 8/10
Beans 5/10


Loved the pulled pork but the beef was a tad disappointing.
The place offers choices of proteins with sides so there’s plenty of options. Portions are generous .


Very good place for barbecue. Generous portions
