My son and his fiancé just called me to tell me about The Pit Room in Houston, Texas. She is a native of Texas - he's a transplant. He has been all over though and considers himself both a "foodie' and a good judge of BBQ. He gave the restaurant a 7 out of 10 with a caveat. He ordered the three meat meal PLUS a pulled pork sandwich. He's supposed to be losing weight for his wedding. If he is eating like this, it's not happening. His review of the brisket - 9 out of 10. He said it was moist, flavorful, had good bark and was not overly fatty. He really enjoyed the pulled pork. He gave it a 9 out of 10. That is a a compliment. He is REALLY picky about pulled pork. Too picky, sometimes. I rarely get a 9 out of 10 from him and he will call me from time to time to tell me about some place he just dropped into in the South where he "just ate a 10". The overall rating dropped only because he was disappointed in the sausage. He gave it a 4 or 5 out of 10. It was a jalapeño/cheese sausage and he said it lacked flavor and was dry. He said it needed sauce. Speaking of sauces - he is really picky about sauces. He typically likes BBQ lightly sauced, if at all. He gave their sauces a 9 out of 10. He said they were a bit thicker, had a little kick and complimented the food. He said the sides were good - nothing to write home about but they also seemed like someone paid attention to them instead of just putting them out to supplement the meal.

Oh, I'm not gonna go any further with that one.
I was talking about that emoji looking like B.G.
I do like that pic though. Kinda looks like he's overwhelmed with what's in front of him. Very cool.Comment

Update on the Pit Room in Houston. My boy went there again because he loved the Brisket and Pulled Pork the first time around. He was not the biggest fan of the jalapeño and cheddar sausage. This time he switched out and got the Venison sausage. Said he loved it. Chicken left a little to be desired, he said. So right now he has upped his rating. The Brisket and Pulled Pork are still at the top of his rating scale. The Venison sausage is, as well. The chicken could use a little something but he is not one to give high marks and I trust his taste buds. If you are in Houston I think this is a pretty fair assessment and a good place to check out. The fact he went back means he is a fan.Last edited by tbob4; April 13, 2017, 08:37 PM.Comment

Yeah Spinaker. I don't know how to take his reviews based the following: My chicken is better, my sausage is better, my brisket is on par but pulled pork - they win. Come on! Nobody should beat me in any category. No "on par". No "they win" reviews. I raised him to say I win in everything!

Per my son, the rating at The Pit Room in Houston has raised, again. Despite his first sausage disappointment - with all else being a high score - he keeps going back. Today he ate the 1lb beef rib and his face tells the story. I see there is more in the middle. He just tested "1 lb beef rib. Delicious!" So I guess if you are in Houston and you want good BBQ you have a critic who has tried everything on the menu and gives it the big thumb up!Comment
