I know this is in Pearland, but the right answer is Killens. Every time.

Any difference between them and Killen's STQ by the galleria? Or all the other Killen's around town?

There is no best...

Houston has a lot of good BBQ available. Here is my list of places in/around Houston.

Amazing:

Khoi - beef ribs!!! (the single best BBQ dish I've ever had), unique fusion dishes
Gatlins - brisket, ribs
Blood Bros - brisket, unique dishes, fusion dishes
Truth - brisket, sides (probably the best sides I've ever had)
Corkscrew - brisket
Pinkertons - brisket
Feges - brisket, unique dishes
Tejas Chocolate - brisket, unique dishes

Good, but not the best:

Burns
Killen's
Roegels
Luling City Market
Dozier's

Highly recommended, but I have not tried yet:

Ray's
Central Texas
Lonestar Sausage
Burn's Original
Triple J
Fainmous
Brook's
Lenox
Reveille
Southern Q

I don't understand the recommendation. If I was picking from any of these, I'd probably go to Rudy's. Rudy's is the best chain BBQ, consistently producing perfectly decent food at every location I've visited (literally, all over in the San Antonio, Austin, Houston, DFW areas):

Brisket House
Pizzitolas
Demeris
Goode Co.
The Pit Room

This person knows what they’re talking about. Second all the above especially Blood Bros and Feges.

Both correct answers^
The lines at Pinkerton’s are much more bearable though

Pro-tip with pinkerton’s. Order take-out the day before. No line and you don’t have to worry about them running out of the meat you want.

like

If you're willing to drive to Old Town Spring, Corkscrew BBQ is the best. If you don't want to drive that far, Pinkerton's ribs are amazing but the brisket tends to be disappointing, like it needed to be smoked for a few more hours. Corkscrew does both the brisket and ribs really really well.

like

Definitely Corkscrew. Pinkerton is ok.
Roegels is good. Truth is very good. Killens is overrated in my opinion. Blood Bros in Bellaire is good, but not very traditional. Interesting Asian fusion. Pit Room is good, but a bit overpriced

Big fan of the Pit Room

Truth wins for the simple fact that the sides are better and it has the cake counter.

Pinkerton’s and Truth are both good.

I also like Pit Room because it is close to me and it is very good. Has a nice patio to watch a football game. Tacos are also good.
