"The Pit Room has expanded its barbecue reign to the Memorial neighborhood. Like the original location in Montrose, they serve smoked meats with a Tex-Mex flare, and both the BBQ and the chicken tacos are still worth ordering. Lines of people snake towards the front door as team members pile on the brisket and giant smoked beef ribs. But here, the covered patio is big enough to be its own restaurant. It's the perfect place to hang out with a big group of friends or your dog. Go to The Pit Room when you want beef ribs and brisket tacos or want to have your ‘cue with a pilsner on a patio." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
