11 Best BBQ Places in Houston

"Like all good barbecue, the meat at The Pit Room is smoked slow and low. While stellar 'cue favorites (brisket, ribs, and a trio of house-made sausages, including Czech-style beef, jalapeno-cheddar pork, and black pepper venison) will make traditionalists rejoice, you should really consider the killer tacos, featuring tortillas stuffed with brisket drippings, chicken, or turkey. House-made jalapeño-and-vinegar potato chips and chicharrones with hot sauce will satisfy your salty side, while an ice cream sandwich with homemade cookies will do your sweet tooth proud." - Charu Suri
