Thanks for the comments.  I just got home about an hour ago.  I may post some more pics and some additional comments and ranking this weekend.  I would recommend eating at 3-4 of the 5.

Let me know if anyone wants to know anything else about these places.  Thanks for looking.  It was a fun part of my trip even though the original reason for going was to see a Paul Gauguin exhibit at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts.

I tried to be pretty consistent in what I ordered from place to place so I could compare them to each other.

Here was the line at 11:30am at The Pit House

When I got to Truth at 1:30pm probably had 10+ people in line in front of me

Demeris had no line and only two others eating there at 5:15pm.  I should have known better to order at that stage and I couldn't see the meat I was receiving either.

I tried getting into Pinkerton's a few days earlier, but could not get into the parking lot.  I was smarter a few days later and got there about 15 minutes before they opened.  I got the last spot.  By the time I got in the door there were close to 10 people ahead of me and probably 20 after me.

Went to good about 7pm and there was no line and about 3-4 people eating inside.

Wow!  It looks good, but those are not workin mans prices!  Thank you for sharing this!  I think I will stick with the $15 Cheese Steaks, never though they would be a bargain!    :pig:

 A lot of good looking food, hope you get to write some of it off as business related.

That sausage from the pit room looks pretty good, I like jalapeno sausage with out the cheese and that looks a little light on cheese compared to the others.
Those beans look good also, about the only way I will eat green bean is sauteed or roasted, the tomato part threw me though.

Just remember everything is bigger in Texas and I guess that also goes for  :bbq: prices.   :cool:
