We went to the newish Memorial outpost of the Pit Room for lunch a couple of months ago. Arrived 12:30ish on a Friday and there was no line at all. I got a sliced beef sandwich (meh), chicken taco, (bleh and greasy), and potato salad, (average). The condiments bar was very good. 

Overall, very underwhelming and probably won't bother again. 

Sadly this has been my experience too.  Quality is nowhere close to the original Richmond location, and frankly it’s not worth ordering anything other than the sides.  Some satellite bbq locations work out, like Terry Blacks in Dallas, but there is something fundamentally wrong with the Pit Room’s execution.

He moved to New Mexico and got out of the barbecue business.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Dozier's has reopened by some of the original grandkids or something.
