"Nothing is more classic Houston than a spot that offers brisket tacos, barbecue, and seasonal crawfish. The Pit Room keeps its boiled crawfish pretty traditional, adding its own signature blend of spices. You can order by the pound, and all orders get the corn, potatoes, mushrooms, and andouille treatment. With a beer in hand, grab a seat on their patio amidst the aroma of slowly smoking beef and crack open some mudbugs while you watch whatever game is on." - gianni greene, julie takahashi, chelsea thomas
"If you love queso with a side of pulled pork, you want The Pit Room in Montrose. Unlike most spots, Pit Room is open most of the day and never seems to run out of meat. And while the dining room is fairly small, The Pit Room has a sprawling patio deck with an outdoor bar, so you can enjoy a giant plate of smoked meats the way our wild west-ranging ancestors intended: outside, with a beer in hand, and your clothes smelling of slow-smoking beef, pork, and turkey. This spot has the standard combination meat, and it also serves smoky queso, pulled pork tacos, frito pie, and, importantly, breakfast tacos stuffed with brisket and eggs." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
