    The food was great!! Upon walking in we were promptly greeted and there was no wait. I really enjoyed my tacos and my husband enjoyed his meal. The servings are big and we both had food to take home. We sat in the area with the bar and we both had spicy margaritas. The margaritas were delicious and I think what made them better were that the mugs were in the freezer before the drink is poured in. We will definitely be back!

    Trying the Pit Room!

    My husband and I visited the Pit Room for lunch. We ordered turkey, sausage, and brisket, with Mac and cheese and beans. The brisket was a ma zing! Moist fatty and tender, the sausage was very well seasoned and snappy, the turkey was tender, just perfect. Great charro beans, the Mac n cheese was okay. Overall solid barbecue. The staff is super nice.

    Fantastic melt in your mouth brisket! Highly recommend this spot for great BBQ. Come early, the brisket runs out.

    Brisket, pulled pork, elote, and green beans

    Seriously the best BBQ I've ever had. We arrived on a Thursday at 7pm and it was really busy. There was a line and almost every table was taken. This is cafeteria style with you ordering and your order is sliced and plated right in front of you. We went around the corner to the bar area and sat inside. That was really nice since the main restaurant was packed. We got 2 of the 2 meat and 2 side plates. I got the turkey and jalapeño cheddar sausage with Mac n cheese and potato salad. Everything was delicious. The turkey was so moist and tender. The sausage was Smokey and spicy. The Mac n cheese was super cheesy and the potato salad had a lot of flavor. The BBQ sauce provided was too spicy for me, but that didn't matter. My husband got the brisket and pulled pork with green beans and the elote. The brisket was super tender and flavorful. The pulled pork was Smokey and tender. The elote was really good. I didn't care for the green beans, but my husband liked them. Really enjoyed this spot. Would absolutely come back if we are ever in the area.

    This place was PACKED (and it's a small establishment) right when they opened. I'd heard really good things about this place and unfortunately, I was not impressed. My experience here is why I tend to not frequent BBQ places, I hate being disappointed. The barbecue sauce (the signature and regular) were not good at all. Neither tasted like BBQ sauce. One tasted like tomato sauce with seasoning and the other tasted like a vinegary Tabasco sauce. The brisket was okay, nothing super impressive but no complaints. The queso might have been the most egregious issue (after the BBQ sauce) imagine paying $11 for tasteless, unimpressive, liquid cheese. Nothing in it but cheese and prayers. Adding the brisket (1/4lb for ~$9) along with a variety of other seasonings, made it okay. Ironically, reheating it after a few hours made it actually taste a bit better (enough to justify the price? Absolutely not). The mac and cheese was equally tasteless. One thing I think the Pit Room does EXCEPTIONALLY well is making pickles! These were delicious, seriously I'd go back just for the pickles (only the pickles).

    We traveled from Dallas to Houston for the first time and decided to try The Pit Room BBQ because of its excellent reviews. Since we're big fans of Texas BBQ, we were excited to have dinner there and expected a great experience. The atmosphere was what you'd expect from a traditional Texas BBQ restaurant. However, there were quite a few flies around, and we had to constantly keep them away from our food, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. The brisket was extremely dry and lacked the juicy, tender texture that good Texas brisket should have. The pork ribs were also underwhelming--they mostly tasted like black pepper, with very little smoky or savory flavor coming through. We've eaten at many BBQ restaurants, including Hutchins BBQ in the Dallas area, and we've never had brisket and ribs this disappointing. I rarely leave one-star reviews, especially based on the food alone, but this meal was honestly one of the worst BBQ experiences I've had. The only positive part of our visit was that the service was fine--the staff was polite and the food came out promptly. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this place, especially considering its reputation and high ratings. We left wondering how it earned such glowing reviews.

    Three item combo (brisket, pork rib, pork sausage), beef rib

    Delicious barbecue! We went on a weekday for lunch and there was a short line, but it moved quickly and was not too bad. Between two people, we shared: - Three meat "dinner": We chose the brisket, pork ribs, and pork sausage. All three were excellent, but the brisket was my favorite. It was very tender without being overly fatty. The plate also came with two sides. We picked the coleslaw and mac and cheese. Both were good, but I wish I had gotten the green beans after seeing them at other tables! - Beef rib: You have to order at least one pound since the ribs are quite large. This was also delicious and definitely worth trying. Overall, a fantastic barbecue spot. I would happily come back for the brisket, beef rib, and to try some of the other items. If possible, go early or on a weekday to avoid the longer lines!

    Came here with a group of friends and decided to share the platter meal. The service was exceptionally quick, as the way to order food was a counter setup. The meats were packed with flavor, and anything with a bone was incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone. Some of the meats had a smoky flavor that added an extra dimension to the taste. The sides were equally delicious, particularly the mac and cheese. However, there were a few areas where the experience could have been improved. The tables could have been a bit larger to accommodate our group comfortably. And the interior of the restaurant could have been designed with a more barbecue-themed ambiance to enhance the overall dining experience.

    Establishment

    Establishment is spacious and clean. Staff is professional and personable. Ordered the brisket sandwich and beef rib, everything is absolutely excellent, and they make their sausages in house. TLDR: Excellent service, excellent food, excellent establishment, great value. Would recommend!

    4-6 people spread
    Lanre M.

    This is my second time coming here and it didn't disappoint. This visit, I came with a larger group. We ordered a spread that could feed 4-6 people, and it was more than enough. When it comes to BBQ, the Pit Room is always a safe choice, especially since Texas is known for BBQ and has many competitors. You can never go wrong with the Pit Room. I will be back again.

    WOW WOW WOWW the food here was so delicious. I was in town visiting a friend and this is where they recommended. We did take-out so I can't speak to the experience of eating in house, but it looked there were several seating options both indoor and outside. My wife and I shared a 3 meat dinner which comes with 2 sides. We ordered brisket, pork ribs, and turkey with potato salad and charred green beans. We also ordered an additional jalapeno cheddar sausage. Everything was so so delicious. Everything was very fresh and still hot when we got home after about a 15 minute drive. We tried the house sauce and the house mustard, both of which were delicious. The staff were kind and worked quickly. There was a line when we arrived but it moved quickly as well and luckily they had a tent outside to provide some shade in the heat for this midwest girlie who is not used to that heat in May!!! Overall would totally come back here and recommend to anyone in the area looking for good BBQ. We chose this over long long lines at Truth and honestly, I think it was the better option to make.

    Jeannie B.

    Super friendly staff. They make you feel very welcomed and seem to love their jobs. I appreciate this because it makes one feel at home. There's plenty of seating inside, out on the patio and the bar next door. The food is excellent and they serve my favorite, beef rib. Not all Texas BBQ places offer beef rib so this was a nice treat! We ordered beef rib, pork rib, beef brisket and pull pork. The beef rib and brisket were the favorites. Juicy and falling off the bone. Sides we had were Mac & Cheese (a definite favorite), beans, and elote. Definitely a great place when looking for Texas BBQ in Houston.

    Overall, an okay BBQ restaurant. If you are used to trying good BBQ like on the Texas Monthly list, then you probably won't be impressed. I tried a little bit of everything, and the meat was honestly pretty underwhelming. I will say the price was decent, and I didn't have to wait very long on a Saturday.

    Ask the Community - The Pit Room - Museum District

    Is this place good for a group of 16?

    There aren't really many tables that will accommodate a group that large, but if you are there on an off time, you can probably make it work if you sit outdoors and get a group of tables near each other.

    Do they take apple pay?

    Not that I know

    Is there any option for halal/kosher meat?

    Try Chuck Wagon in Fulshear for halal beef options. I believe Killen's beef in Pearland is sourced from a farm with halal beef.

    Am I able to order the dinners during lunch time? If not, what time am I able to order?

    Yes

    What days do they sell Okra? (Is it discontinued?)

    Every time I have went it was there.

    I'm planning to order take out to bring it back to NYC. I'm planning to use a conventional oven to heat the food. Does anyone know how long and what temperature I should get it at? Will order beef ribs, pork ribs, briskets and pulled pork.

    You can ask them to not preslice the brisket and you can do it yourself after you warm it up because at home to preserve some of the juices.… 

    Are they open on thanksgiving day?

    Probably not. Best is to call and ask their holiday schedule for certainty.

    Which days do they serve the Wagyu Brisket?

    Daily

    Can anyone get the seafood on the weekends or is it only special order?

    As long as you have the cash they have the crawfish.

    Best time to go on a Sunday?

    11am-12pm is the best time to beat the crowd. 12pm-3pm is cool if you don't mind waiting in line.

    Anyone know if they are open this Wednesday (day after Christmas)?

    Wanna try this restaurant so badly, and I have a flexible schedule, so I want to come when I can get the least wait time... when is my best bet? Thank you!:)

    I have gone around 6pm on a Wednesday and didn't have a wait. Also right when they open at 11am is good. The line moves pretty fast even if there is a wait, and you may sit at the bar next door if the seating gets crowded.

    Would like to bring an out of town guest here for them to get some Texas bbq, however I'm vegetarian... are the sides vegetarian friendly? The potatoes, Mac and cheese, etc?

    Yes, you should have a few options. I highly recommend the corn (served with Mexican cream, queso fresco, and hot sauce), and the mac and cheese.

    Do you offer military discount like Rudy's?

    Yes, we do! Just show your military i.d. and the we provide your discount . Thank you for your service !

    If we wanna reserve in advance for a table for 6? How is the wait during the weekend?

    The lines were long but they moved quickly. Plenty of room outside on patio. Inside is a little tight. We had a party of 6 walked in on Saturday and found a table on patio

If you arrive early, be sure to grab a number from the binder on the water cooler table near the front door. The staff also walks around offering drinks while you wait, which was a nice touch. Around 10:45 AM, everyone lines up according to their number. We were #24, and it took us almost 40 minutes to reach the front and place our order. We ordered: -1 lb moist brisket -1/2 lb garlic sausage link -1.5 lbs prime beef rib (feeds 2-3 people) -CS tacos with pulled pork (comes with 2 tacos) For sides, we got the coleslaw, potato salad, mac & cheese, cobbler, and smoked beans. I really liked the smoked beans and cobbler! Everything was absolutely delicious and worth the wait. All of the meats were flavorful, juicy, and tender. The CS tacos were good, and I highly recommend getting the pulled pork to go with them. The prime beef rib was the standout for me. They only offer it on Saturdays, so definitely get it if you're there. The staff was friendly and attentive. Despite being busy, they checked on us frequently and even helped clear our table multiple times. Thanks to the incredible service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, I had a great start to my weekend!

The food here was the real deal and they should be proud of having earned a Michelin Star, as well as being one of the top American-style BBQ restaurants in the world (only 4 hold a Michelin Star). The people that work here are also friendly and helpful, honestly such a chill vibe, which helps you get into the right mood for some bbq. What surprised me was that I ordered the Stuffed Potato Salad on a whim and it was out of this world! Warm potato salad (taste way better than it sounds) covered in chopped briskets, queso, ranch salsa, and green onions was so comforting and so delicious, I was crying! I also ordered a 1/2 of brisket and even though I had to take it home to finish work, it remained so tender and moist even after the drive home. The crust/bark was also so flavorful without being too much and I'm glad it wasn't just a hard layer of black pepper that was hard to crunch through. I'm also not really a coleslaw type of person, but their sweet & spicy coleslaw was the best I've ever had. I wolfed that down and would definitely get it again! We all need more fiber in our diet anyway and thankfully this is a painless way to do it (unless you can't handle the touch of spice I suppose). I'd really like to come back on a Saturday morning sometime with another sucker to accompany me, because an hour drive plus an hour or two wait on line is quite a big commitment. But the beef ribs are definitely on my radar and I probably will want to try their turkey, cobbler, and mac & cheese sometime. I'm also happy to say that even though I came late on a Thursday near closing and a lot of things were sold out, they still had brisket and that's my favorite cut of meat. I'll definitely have to swing by next time I have errands around here.

Tasty food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, what more can one ask for? We had two plates of brisket - half and half (lean and fatty) and chopped. Mac & cheese, potato salad, and creamed corn. And both types of puddings! The brisket was so tender and fell apart easily, which also went very well with the spicy bbq sauce. The chopped brisket was tasty too and went great with all the sides and the piece of bread. Everything was so good and to the point, which made it such a comfort food.

You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

I arrived around 5:35 PM, about 25 minutes before closing, and ordered 1/2 lb of brisket and 1/2 lb of ribs. The brisket was $17, and unfortunately it was extremely greasy and so overcooked that the meat had become mushy. It still had good flavor, but the texture was nothing like the brisket I've normally gotten here. Judging by what I received, it felt like I may have gotten what was left at the end of the day. The ribs were $12, and my "1/2 lb" consisted of two individual ribs. They tasted good, but they weren't nearly as tender as I've had here before. I paid about $29 just for the meat, and for that price I expected much better quality and portioning. I understand that I came close to closing time, but I still paid full price and should receive the same quality of food as any other customer. If the brisket is past its best or there isn't enough left to make a proper order, I'd rather be told that so I can order something else. I'm not writing the place off because they've been good to me many times before. But this particular order was definitely not up to their usual standard, and the pictures speak for themselves.

    First time trying this restaurant and it was pretty good! I enjoyed the angus beef cuts including…read morethe miso and shoyu marinades. The brisket also had good marbling and was great. The grill was extra smokey which gave the meats a good char and flavor, but can get tiring after eating for awhile. We also tried the sushi and was surprised by the freshness of the fish. Top fish cuts were salmon and red snapper. The yellowtail hamachi was a bit fishy and we did not really enjoy that. Overall, good experience and good wide variety of food.

    Authentic Texas Barbecue. Very good food, and awesomely messy. Got the pulled pork, brisket,…read moresausage, and other meats. All were well seasoned and the sauce was incredible. Sides were ok, rice was incredibly well seasoned but the Mac and cheese was a bit underwhelming. I think the only thing would be the cost; quite pricey for barbecue. Additionally the service was pretty good - friendly staff who were more than willing to help. Very busy in the restaurant - definitely seemed like a staple in the community. Every table had paper towels, and while some of the tables were a little dirty, we were able to find a clean table to eat at.

    I had been craving BBQ for a couple weeks and decided to give the pit room a try. My husband had…read morebeen here before for work and he enjoyed it so I decided to try! The environment is super cool, plenty of seating, a bar, private rooms, a dessert bar. I enjoyed the atmosphere, but the workers spoke Spanish to each other the whole time until it was time to check out, so there wasn't much engagement. Which lead to a mix up of my order that we had to fix. What we are all here for, the FOOD: Chicken: Very juicy, tender, basic chicken, a great portion. I was grossed out by the amount of blood under the skin. (I KNOW it's an animal with blood but I've never had bbq with that amount of blood on the meat) but I'm not penalizing them for it. Def 7/10! Brisket: Super tender, melted in the mouth, great taste. 8/10 Green beans: Not greasy, tender (not mushy or undercooked). I think they may have spilled the seasoning into the batch they main because holy moly, a TON of pepper and salt. I'm heavy handed with my seasonings but that amount didn't seem intentional. I'd never thought I'd say this but the flavor would've been great with less seasoning. 5/10 Mac&cheese: Nothing special but definitely better than most bbq spots. I enjoy the texture and light flavor 7/10 Elote: Yummy but where's the beloved cilantro?! 8/10 Cornbread: Great flavor, not dry, and had jalapeno peppers in it! Super yummy 9/10. My only thing too, they had only 2 bbq sauce options, a bourbon coffee and their house bbq. To me, they were not good at all. I was extremely disappointed in that. Other bbq spots have like 8 different bbq sauces
