Lyndon's Pit Bar-B-Q

These guys are fantastic! Consistently great food and even better service. Can't say enough great things. Love the smoked Turkey and the stuffed potatoes are so yummy!! If you need catering - these are the guys to call.

We have many years coming trying different things and all of them are so good, very clean and consistent in their barbecue, it's the first time we bought their smoke turkeys and it's really juicy really good. I really recommend it

Let's start with the important part...the meat. The brisket was clearly the worst part of my experience at Lyndon's. It was dry. I mean arid dry. So dry that it crumbled when I tried to pick it up with a fork. Brisket is the cornerstone of Texas barbecue. If you can't do brisket well, then you've lost the game. The sausage was better. I had the jalapeño-cheese sausage. It wasn't very spicy and it wasn't cheesy at all, but it had a good flavor to it. I think that it's a chicken sausage, but I could be wrong on that. The barbecue sauce was thin and weak. It definitely didn't overpower the flavor of the meats, but it didn't enhance it either. The sides. Potato salad was bland, so bland that I had to salt and pepper it twice. It's potato salad, so blandness is the battle that you're fighting. When making potato salad, you have to realize that the main part of the dish is the most bland food on the planet...the potato. You have to overcome that. This one did not. The beans were good. I'm not a big fan of big strips of bell pepper and onion in my pinto beans, but it did give it a nice flavor.The restaurant itself is nice. They are definitely trying to capture that '70s/'80s feel to the place, enhanced by old country music tunes being played. It's spacious and it's bright. The price. In a segment of the restaurant business that has become incredibly price in recent years, this barbecue place is still fairly reasonable. $17 for a two meat plate still seems kind of steep to me, but it's much more affordable than other barbecue restaurants around Houston. Overall. Not terrible, but I won't be back.

Great barbecue but desserts are not so good. Portions have gotten smaller and they rush you through the line. Prices just keep get higher while portions get smaller.

Got a lean chopped beef sandwich and fries. Chopped beef was pretty good, but the fries were great. I would try this place again.

It's been at least 10 years since I've eaten here so I thought it was time to give them another chance. I say that because my memory was of an unremarkable visit back then. Since then Houston's bbq game has improved dramatically. Unfortunately nothing has changed here over that time. I came for lunch this week and remembered the attractive entrance with the large menu board along with the spacious interior decorated in Texas country chic. This is a counter service restaurant where you go down a serving line and request your food. I chose a sliced brisket sandwich ($8.75) with a side of beans ($2.75) and adding a drink it was under $15 with tax. They have a drink station and fixings bar that also has bottles of bbq sauce there. I then went to find a table and while there were many, several of them needed to be bussed and I thought that looked a little sloppy. I will admit that my brisket had a nice bark on it as seen in my picture but the meat was chewy and should have been more tender. I added some of the sauce (which I liked) to wet it down but it still was too chewy. Flavor wise it was ok but I have had better. I did like the taste of the beans which were light kidney beans but I thought the serving size wasn't large enough. I understand that brisket beef prices are high but sides surprise me with how expensive they are relative to their serving size. I think of Lyndon's as bbq that is lower to middle tier. Because of my chewy brisket I should give a 2 but I believe that Lyndon's is probably a little better than that with their other menu offerings so I will give a 3. However it probably will be at least 10 more years before I return because of so many other better bbq options out there.

So California snob where BBQ is the best - no questions asked. LolFirst time. Lyndon's was amazing! Had the original sausage and sliced brisket. Both were tender and moist with a nice flavorful smoke ring. One BBQ sauce and that's all you need, picked up straight off a hot plate. Sweet tea and pecan pie. Holy sh*t, get the slice of pie!!! Will be back.

The guys there are so personal in a good way , like being at a family dinner. Excellent sugestions. My wife had the stuffed baked potato with chopped brisket , he litterly pulled a brisket out and sliced off and chopped up fresh , ( not out of steam table soaked in sauce. Potato was big enough for two meals . I had the natural brisket sliced and stacked on a freshly toasted poorboy bun with two sides , plus I ordered a half order of the best onion rings ever. He said they're 10 rings in a 1/2 order but he failed to tell us they are huge rings , I gave 3 rings to another customer we met in line. You have a option of natutal or lean brisket and fat is flavor especially on their brisket ( best we've ever had) +the sides are top shelf also and don't try the banana pudding It will ruin you eating any other (excellent) , the only downer is the size you get of pudding for price , suggestion to boss increase the ratio to cost. Lyndons is the place we eat every time we're in Houston.

Food is really good but getting overpriced. $15 for a baked potato with a cup of turkey on top. Go to Rudy's. Same quality, just cheaper.

I love this place. The chicken fried steak is delicious. The smoked Turkey and brisket are perfect! All fried sides are fresh out of the fryer. And everyone who works here is super nice!
