Not to derail...but I saw in HBJ that the Pit Room is planning to open a Memorial City Location late next year. Great news for the 77024/77079 crowd. The west belt/west side is a waste land for good BBQ that isn't cooked on Jetch's backyard grill.

Just curious. What are the places in the area that have NOT been recommended? It'll save money and time

Another vote for Brisket House at Augusta and Woodway. Original owner started with the old Tom's BBQ in CS.
If it is similar to Toms...hard pass for me. I was never impressed there and could not figure out what the buzz was about.
Served on wax paper. Amazing concept

Wow! Great news.

Brisket house is good too
I have worked in the Galleria area for 10 years and Brisket House on Augusta is consistently the best brisket and has very good sides as well.
There are only three things that I would characterize as "negative":
1. They are proud of their product and the prices reflect that; and
2. You will smell like you've been standing over a bbq pit for an hour when you leave. That's only a negative if you don't like the fragrance of oak and/or you have to go back to work and don't want your colleagues to know you had bbq for lunch; and
3. Parking is a challenge.

Completely agree on all counts, but found my visits were not deterred because the food is great.
There are a few tables on the covered sidewalk that can be used to help combat the lingering smokiness.
And I stumbled upon parking behind the strip center one day. Entrance is between the cleaners and the building with the restaurant.
I felt pricing was reasonable, except for the gargantuan beef rib.

It's walkable in decent weather from our office bus sometimes drive. Always look for street parking or you can use Cyclones valet. The smoke situation seems to be better now as you pointed out in the past anyone in our office could recognize where you had lunch all afternoon

Doesn't get enough love. It's fantastic with little to no wait, reasonable portions and prices. Plus the owner I believe is an Ag.
Not to hijack the thread but does anyone have any inside info on any places shutting down over the Christmas break time? I'm gonna be back in town on Christmas through the 29th and want to try and hit up Truth or Corkscrew or one of the other spots if I can find the time.
It's funny how many people mentioned the bbq sauce smell from Brisket House. Haven't been there in forever, but I distinctly remember smelling it for the rest of the day. Like I was really hungover, but sweating bbq sauce instead of the booze stench.
For the avoidance of doubt, the odor was from the smoke in the room permeating one's clothes as opposed to sauce sweats!
Sauce sweats are usually the result of Indian food. Curry sweats and catastrophic colon sprays.waryman said:

I love Pinkerton but speaking of odor I hate how they are unable to keep the smoke odor and taste out of their desserts. Of course those places aren't known for their desserts but still.
not BBQ, but wife and and I ate at IL Bracco the other night. damn good pasta and excellent service
Was wondering about this, work down the street. But had to chuckle at this recommendation being in a BBQ threadAustinCountyAg said:

Nothing quite like Los Tios in Meyerland Plaza!
Eado time: Anyone have a review of J-Bar-M yet?
It's okay. It's a great venue and place to hang out with their beer garden. BBQ is average to good. Price seemed a bit high too.Harry Lime said:

Nothing special, but a good place to take out of towners to kill an afternoon.
They ran off Willow the pitmaster a couple months ago, and haven't been back since, but it was great when he was there.
Came back to try Luling again based on this thread. Whoever recommended this place should be embarrassed. It is laughable compared to the other options available. Spicy sausage is super dry. Brisket was OK at best. Jeezus Christ.
