    After getting BBQ recommendations from the locals, we set out to dine at Triple J's. We arrived minutes before they opened and there was already a line out to the parking lot (always a good sign). The staff runs the restaurant like a well oiled machine which we loved. If you did do not preorder, you get in line, give the staff your order, meal is plated and you end up at the cashier...genius! We ordered the three meat combo, beans, green beans and added dirty rice, potato salad, boudin (regular and seafood), strawberry crunch cake and peach cobbler. Ribs were tender and seasoned well, tri tip had a light smokiness which was good, sausage was sausage. Green beans had BBQ meat in them. We are used to pork or smoked meat in green beans. Not the best combo for us but the green beans had a nice texture. Beans were good, potato salad was on point (right amount of mustard), dirty rice was on the dry side and bland. Both the regular and seafood boudin were bland so we didn't finish them. Hubby enjoyed the strawberry cake and the cobbler was delicious.

    I had to wait to write this review to make sure I wasn't gassing this place. And since they give enough food to last you 3 days I had the chance to think. And the food is just as GREAT 2 days later! I got the Big J baked potato and peach cobbler and they were both amazing. The amount of brisket on that potato was insane! And there wasn't a single dry thing on that plate from the 3 meats to the potato itself. We sat inside and I'm so glad we did because the staff was very inviting and engaged with us. I will definitely be back! My waistline won't like it but I sure will!

    Ohhhh lawwwddddd !!! Take all my money and honey I am not counting any calories today. We found this on Yelp and made sure to set an alarm to ensure we got here with time to spare. They close at 6 and when we arrived around 4:45, the line was wrapped around ! It's an older establishment with lots of memorabilia on the walls through out. There is inside seating but very limited compared to the amount of traffic coming inside. Service : it was like a bunch of my uncles and cousins serving us. They were personable and patient for the amount of people they had to serve quickly. There was a little situation due to confusion from a customer in front of me so as a woman, I was glad to assist as they tried their best to accommodate the lady ( good job fellas !) Now let's talk about this food yall ! Lawd have mercy it was like being at my grandmas house good !!! BBQ rib dinner with their special sauce ( omg ) and potato salad and baked beans. When I tell you my diet flew out the window! I finished everything on my plate and got a side of warm peach cobbler for later. Do not overlook this spot, it's a must go for sure when in Houston. It was about a 30 min drive from downtown Houston and so worth it. Best BBQ I've had and I love me some BBQ honey !

    This is what dreams were made of. With loaded potatoes, I expect that some elements might lack such as the tenderness or flavor of the meat since it will be smothered in toppings anyway. That is not the case here! Everything on top was just enough to make me want a little more. This food is enough for two generous servings, which I'm loving in this era of sticker shock casual dining. The man taking my order was exceptionally kind when I was a tad indecisive. He knew the menu well and I could tell based off the way he recalled some items that he genuinely loved the food and could stand behind it. Love it. Will make the drive always or see them at the rodeo.

    Line inside

    Came here with my family on a Saturday afternoon during Juneteenth weekend. The vibe is certainly relaxed country. Seems to have a large following of customers and regulars. Service- The line starts outside, and winds its way inside. Most of the folks were there to order and take away. It took maybe an hour to get through the line and get food. Once we were at the front though, there were several staff on the line expediting and the ordering to the check out process was pretty fast. We decided to stay and eat inside. There are 2 areas to eat. One area has a few picnic style tables. Food- we were pretty hungry so we ordered alot. 1 lb of ribs/sausage/ brisket each. Plus baked beans, potatoe salad. The ribs were yum, and I am not a rib girly. The sausage was great. The brisket was aight. Overall solid, no frills BBQ spot. Love supporting black owned businesses.

    The smell of the bbq and the line that was almost out of the door promised delicious food. But, our high hopes weren't met. We ordered rib platters with potato salad, baked beans and green beans. Portions sizes were nice and the ribs were tender, for the most part, but they were a bit too salty. The rib sauce was very good. Green beans, again, a bit heavy on the salt. The baked beans and potato salad were good-liked the tang of the salad. We ate in one of the sitting areas and the counter needed to be wiped down properly. Plenty of sauce available from a pump-your-own beer cooler type dispenser. About a ten minute wait to order-but the line moved fairly quickly. We were glad to experience Texas bbq, but would not rush back here.

    Best BBQ I've had. I thought I was smart to visit at 11 am BUT there was already a line so that was a great sign. The ribs were scrumptious, fries hit, bbq sauce was wonderful. Also, the lemonade was perrrrrrfect - Not too sugary or watered down, just right. Everyone here was friendly, from the customers to the servers. Although the line was long, the wait wasn't long. There's a lot of bbq in Houston but folks over here highly appreciate triple j's and I'm glad they did. And forgive my photos, I didn't realize how dirty my phone case was I'll be back !!

    Outside area to eat

    This was our second time here and I wanted to make sure I gave it a chance since its always so packed. I ordered the two way ribs very tender the sliced brisketr was how I emembered it the first time a little too over smoked for my liking ,the potatoe salad is sweet and the beans were seasoned well. You definitely get what you pay for they are not stingy at all with porpotions. The ambiance Inside the establishment makes you feel like your in someone's home they have alot of family pitchures and very personal to them (I enjoyed that). Overall a great experience and pretty decent food. I like that they added the outside patio area.

    Definitely a most if you're in the mood for BBQ in North Houston and worth the drive from anywhere. Meats or cooked/smoked to perfection. Brisket is moist and delicious. The homemade beef sausage is SO good.. this is our 2nd time here and Definitely will not be our last. My only minus is the potato salad.. its a bit too sweet for my taste. And not having Mac&Cheese..

    I had been watching on Instagram for a while now and purposed in my heart on my next visit home I was going to be sure to go try it out. I arrived around 10:45 am and they open up at 11am... there were about maybe 10 good people in line already. Once they open up they are friendly and move the line pretty quickly. I ordered 2 brisket sandwiches, 1 brisket plate and 1 brisket potato for me and my sister and nieces. I failed to get a picture of it all because everyone dug in immediately but I must share that it's delicious and flavorful... everything we had including the potato salad and beans. (You know not everyone makes a good potato salad) Another thing worth mentioning is the portions are ample! To me any one entree was enough for 3 adults to eat off. Well worth the money and time and even wait if you are a BBQ brisket lover!

    Interesting, definitely need security at the location

    We were given this recommendation from a young lady that worked at the hotel. We were in Texas visiting from California, she said they have some really good food. We arrived at the establishment, the line was super long, which was a good sign. We waited in line 60 mins outside only to wait another 30 mins inside. My husband and I both ordered the triple j special and my niece ordered some kinda potato. We thought that we would be able to eat there, but we took the 35 min ride back to the hotel. "man Houston is big. We had a microwave in the room so we could warm our food up. The food looked delicious, presentation was good. The beans were out of this world, cooked to perfection. The brisket was perfectly cooked. The sausage was extremely salty, as were the green beans which I really wanted to like, like I really wanted to like. Anyway, the ribs were very tender. The barbecue sauce was super sweet, not really what I was looking for. Would I recommend this place? I would certainly say it's a bucket list place.

    Bbq done right!!! Local favorite line out the door around the block too... once inside I thought cool time to order no, be prepared to be in a line inside a line. But be patient line goes pretty quickly and worth the wait!!! Amazing customer service hands down the best so far and will definitely come back here when in HOUSTON. They have an inside seating and outside patio dining but mainly expect it to be a to-go order just learned you can call in an order which is nice when you don't wait to wait in line. Upon entering grab your bbq sauce to go don't forget the napkins like us and of course your utensils. Enjoyed the J's special dinner comes with 3 meat of ribs about 3 ribs brisket and sausage and two sides & 2 bread slices. fries are extra. But it's homemade fries not your store bought kind. Also ordered a spicy boudin sausage. Don't FORGET your homemade desserts the peace cobbler a MUST!!! Man was the flavor on point and enough crust in there and was still freshly piping hot only way to eat it! Our family ordered the local favorite loaded baked potato worth it!!! Great mom and pop local bbq stop by!!!

    OMG! The best BBQ on the NE side of town if not in Houston. Very busy place but lines do go quickly. Loud, casual ambiance with BBQ smoke and lots of air circulating the area. Great portions for the prices. Seems high but worth it. I definitely recommend this place in the hood. Lots of seating if you want to eat in. They have some outdoor seating as well. Small parking lot. I really can't complain about anything and as far as the bad comments, I don't think it's possible because everything is fresh, hot, and goes quickly. They are constantly cleaning the eating areas and making sure everything is clean. You have to try the delicious cakes too... they are so good. Come visit and enjoy!

    I came from out of town with a list of places to eat all the way from Houston to Galveston, and…read morethis was an "afterthought" quick breakfast spot before I headed to Houston Space Center. This was the best meal I had my entire weekend! The place had ample parking. There was a solid staff cleaning, and the place was spotless. The front desk staff was helpful and patient with newbies, recommending menu items and accompaniments from the bar nearby. I had the chorizo breakfast taco and the pulled pork hash taco - I was delighted to find out that "hash" meant a delicious hash brown inside the taco. The egg was creamy and perfect inside a taco, the cheese was good, the meat was amazing. I don't think it's possible for me to be happier with roughly $9 in breakfast food. I will make it a point, even if it's not on my way, to visit Pit Room every time I'm in the Houston area going forward. It is a destination restaurant, in my opinion!

    My wife, daughter, son-in-law, and I were staying near the Rice campus on a Saturday in early May,…read morewaiting for graduation ceremonies later that day. My wife and I had had a great experience at the Pit Room previously, so brought the rest of my family here to experience. I found the food to continue to be really good, especially the fatty brisket. Stopped by around 11 am, and there was still parking in the dedicated surface lot next to the building. The smell of bbq wasn't as prevalent as last time. Once walking in, you stand in line to first order your meat...which is immediately sliced in front of you. You then move further along to ask for your sides, including as many slices of plain white bread as you want. My daughter treated us this time, so didn't record prices, but thought it was reasonable. I liked the sliced brisket a lot, along with the side of elote corn and mac n cheese. The free toppings bar had the various pickled vegetables that really cut through the fattiness of the meat. Drinks were all self serve, with a water station and soda fountain. Probably ordered a bit less than expected for 4 people, but was happy that there were no left overs, and left not completely stuffed, since we had a long day ahead of us. By the time we left a little after noon, there was both a wait for tables and parking. We had come at the right time.

Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The pork ribs were the star of the show. So tender, fall off the bone deliciousness. Pair it with the hot sauce that they have on the side and it was chefs kiss! The best ribs I've ever had. The brisket on the other hand was a little dry and I wish it had more flavor, but the sauce made up for it. We also got the Mac n cheese with brisket on top. They really did not skimp out on the brisket. It was very delicious and the Mac n cheese was perfectly creamy and decadent. They also pickles, pickled jalapeño, and onions on the side which really cut the fat from the meat. The coleslaw that we got was okay though. Overall, it was a great experience.

I'm a boudin lover at heart so that's a no brained for me. The smoky boudin link ($8) was cooked to perfection, you know the ones you can eat and the casing snaps with crispness as you bite into it. Rice still has its moist and perfect texture as well. Kam ordered the extra lean brisket sandwich ($15) that's served on jalapeño biscuit buns which he seemed to really enjoy We order side to share, just try. Bacon Mac& cheese. ($6, large) Which is really creamy and cheesy. The noodles were perfectly cooked. The only flaw was the bacon fat I bit into which was a large pieces (yuck) someone who's a texture girl I would be skeptical to order it again. Is perfect alone/ without the bacon. The potato salad ($4 small) was a good cool balance. The jambalaya wasn't much of what I expected, rice a tad overcooked for my liking. I'd prefer either the Mac n cheese or potato salad. We usually don't eat pork ribs, but the appearance was too beautiful not to try. I was happy to hear that Pinkerton do sell them by singles for guest who just want to try them for taste, like us. They were fall off the bone great. No military discount offered at this time. This is the original location The line is for dine in, and take out. I do look forward to returning for the brisket sandwich and boudin link.

We came a little earlier and there was already a long line. I heard that if you order in advance, you can skip the line. While you wait, the employees walk around and you can order a drink. Which is nice if you're waiting a while and it gets hot. The employees were all very nice and ambiance is how you would expect a regular bbq restaurant to be. There are plenty of seating outside but limited inside. The seats are all first come first serve, so usually the inside seating runs out first. We ordered 1/2lb ribs, 1/2lb brisket, 1/2lb sausages, and some sides like Mac&cheese, beans, loaded potato, cobbler, etc. total was about $120 after tip. The food was very delicious and worth the drive. Although, I will say that it doesn't taste that much different from my other favorite bbq restaurants. I was still a great experience and very delicious. I highly recommend to try if you're in the area.

    Since they were awarded their Michelin star, I've been wanting to try CorkScrew... in particular,…read moretheir beef rib. Beef ribs are my go to bbq protein, and not many places have them. I've tried those deemed "the best," including Salt Lick in Driftwood and Killen's. So how did CorkScrew measure up? In addition to the beef rib, we tried the moist brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. We also tried several sides, including those recommended in the Michelin review: potato salad, mac and cheese, smokey beans, and coleslaw, and I picked up a peach cobbler, as well. The beef rib: STELLAR. This was outstanding with its flavorful bark and an impossibly tender texture that truly melts in your mouth, unlike any other beef rib I've ever had. Easily the very best beef rib, without a doubt. The brisket was delicious, as well: tender and flavorful. The sausage was nothing special... on par with sausage elsewhere, as was the pork. As for the sides, I've never been a fan of beans, but since the Michelin review specifically mentioned them, I gave them a try. I'm a fan! I would definitely order these again. Their smokiness is gently tamed by a touch of sweetness. The rest? Very average. The mac and cheese tasted like the stuff I had in my elementary school cafeteria - very un-special. The potato salad was salty and was missing any semblance of potato chunks. The texture was oddly like lumpy mashed potatoes. But the other surprise for me: the cobbler. This was simply and divinely perfect with crisp, sweet buttery crumble. A wonderful way to end a hearty meal. I'm so glad I ordered our food online for pickup. When I arrived at 1pm, the line was wrapped around the building. Pickup was very easy: I texted them when I arrived, and they replied when they were ready for me to go in and retrieve it. But even if there wasn't a line, I would never eat there: the restaurant is too divey for me: very rustic, picnic-like feel both inside and out, and it was uncomfortably warm and humid (again, inside and out.) The staff was very friendly and cheerful. Glad i tried it, and when i get a hankering for a good beef rib, this is definitely where I'll be getting it!

    This place is great and it has a small neighborhood vibe! Raw Steaks for sale along with a bunch of…read moregoodies, but I came here for the barbecue. Atmosphere was perfect for Texas BBQ. I ordered the ribs in the jalapeño cheddar sausage, but got the brisket with sausage.. very happy they mixed that one up because the brisket was extremely juicy tender and had a great flavor on that bark. They did it perfect! The jalapeño sausage was a little dryer that I like it to be especially for having cheese in there. Still ate it and it was great.! So good I forgot to take a picture We'll definitely be going back to this place!

We ordered sliced brisket with mac n cheese, coleslaw, chopped brisket sandwich, and a pecan pie. The sliced brisket was so juicy and tender with so much charred flavor. The meat was cooked to perfection and got me wanting more! The mac and cheese wasn't too overwhelming and actually complemented the meat. As for the brisket sandwich, I thought it was good in terms of the meat, however, I must say it reminded me of sloppy joes too much. If I had to choose, I prefer getting the brisket sliced over chopped. As for the coleslaw, it was fresh and not too overwhelming with the mayo, which I love. The ratio of cabbages and carrots were evenly distributed. Lastly, the pecan pie was not too sweet and really soft yet crunchy. Overall, I would love to come here again, it was honestly one of the best!

    They have such good brisket!! I often come here for my nacho…read moreMeat!!! Although it says by the pound and 1/4 pound...if you want one piece of brisket or chicken they will accommodate you. Don't follow the menu!!! You can order any amount that you want. The ambiance is spacious...,they have a bar area and plenty of seating so you do not feel overcrowded. Parking is ample and no issue at this location. They do not sell Nachos, I just buy the meat for my homemade Nachos. lol.

    Tried the brisket egg rolls to start -- they were okay, but lacked flavor. For the main meal, I…read moreordered the two meats with two sides: brisket, jalapeño sausage, cornbread, and potato salad. The brisket itself was good, but next time I'd definitely request lean meat. The jalapeño sausage was the standout for me -- really flavorful and highly recommended. The cornbread and potato salad were both solid sides and complemented the meal well. The biggest downside was the BBQ sauce selection. The sauces leaned way too sweet for my taste. I tried the coffee bourbon sauce and personally did not like it at all. Overall, some really good food items, but the sauces were a miss for me.
