Pinkerton's Barbecue

Gonzalo Latorre

Our first time here and my wife and I were happy happy. Out of all the other BBQ restaurants in Texas, this is the best by far. The brisket was absolutely delicious, super tender, juicy and with the perfect smoky touch. We also ordered a pull pork sandwich and it was out of this world. Even the pickles, jalapeños, the tangy coleslaw salad were fresh and tasty. Thanks Joe for making us feel at home. For sure we’re coming back.

Nut allergy friendly, haven't had the desserts but everything else is safe! Arguably one of the best barbecue spots in Houston, Pinkerton's is one of the only places inside the 610 loop that does a beef rib. And their beef rib is killer. Fatty, moist, great char. For four people I ordered a pint each of the Mac and cheese, Cole slaw, and potato salad; one pound of brisket, a half pound of pork ribs, and one beef rib that was approximately one pound. If you like bread, make sure you get enough for your table because they only gave me three slices for four people and the line got crazy long so I didn't cut back in to get more. Everything was great. One of my party enjoyed the pork rib more than the beef rib, but everyone else loved the beef ribs and brisket. I'd say the sides aren't the best but they're staples of Texan barbecue. Awesome that they have a full bar at very reasonable prices. Happy hour Thursdays with $2 beers.

Recommend the beef brisket sandwich @ $15.99. They take a hearty portion and dice it up in front of you, and serve it in a super soft bun. Efficient ordering system. Staff surreptitiously cleaning up your food trays is a super nice touch. Non nonsense seating yet inviting. Avoid the bacon Mac and cheese, was underwhelming. Coleslaw was okay but nothing to rave about.
