Truth is best, I’d say Pinkertons has the shortest line.

not really answering your question betwixt the places you mentioned. But a very solid brisket sandwich can be found at Goode Company BBQ. They serve it on jalapeno bread and its dynamite. different vibe then your aforementioned places and not quite at the level. However no lines and it is a dynamite brisket sandwich... for what that's worth.

My vote is for Pinkertons.

I was very disappointed in The Pit Room. I’ll have to dig out the photo but it wasn’t very flattering. Recently hit Pinkertons on recommendations from this board along with some other research and it was awesome. Pit Room doesn’t belong in the same conversation with them from my experiences.

I haven’t had Truth but apparently they have really long lines after achieving a high ranking in the Texas monthly top 50.

Splitting hairs with these three places…Truth will have the longest line.

Cobos is hands down the best BBQ place in Texas not named spring creek.

Have not been to the Pit Room since pre-Covid so my 'review' is dated. All three are top-shelf.

Truth will likely have the longest lines.

truth is the better brisket, but you'll likely wait in line

i love the tacos at pit room as they have some of the better tortillas you'll find

pinkerton's is really good as well; their brisket and duck & sausage jambalaya are great

i'd rank them truth, pit room, pinkerton's
