Fantastic brisket and pork ribs. The jalapeño sausage and boudin were very good as well but didn’t shine like the brisket. I liked the beans which were perfectly seasoned but the slaw was a bit too dry for my taste. Highly recommended and I would definitely return.

Not my favourite but pretty good. I’m not a fan of the eating off butcher paper and the line up cafeteria style can feel very high pressure to get your order in as a first timer with the line building up behind you.
On a Sunday it is very busy and the tables are just a little too close for people to easily get in and out without bumping other patrons.
Everyone in our party agreed their regular sausage is awesome and the ribs are excellent. The brisket and beef rib was less impressive.

This place is simply amazing. For those of you coming from out of town, it doesn't disappoint to deliver on solid Texas BBQ. The sauces are amazing. I didn't love the sides as much as other people do. But the ribs were absolutely unbelievable.

First visit was a huge WOW hence we came again tonight, unfortunately it was a bit of letdown. Ordered pork ribs and prime brisket and they all served cold. The jalapeño sausage was really good, so was the boudin.

We went in for lunch on a Sunday so it was quite crowded. We waited in line for about 20-30 minutes before being able to place our order and get seated.
The decor of Pinkerton Barbecue gives Ranch vibes. It's very cozy and open. The bar is quite well placed too. We ordered 3 sides: jalapeno cheese rice, potato salad, and Mac n cheese. We got potato salad and Mac N cheese in large size and the Jalapeno cheese rice in small size. Both, the Mac n cheese and potato salad are to die for! Please try them. Absolutely the best we've ever had.
For the mains, we got the brisket, pork ribs and a link of the Jalapeno cheese sausage. They were all delicious and we enjoyed them a lot. Their barbecue sauce especially adds much more flavor to everything. We're looking forward to buying their sauce on our next visit. The food is accompanied by slices of white bread, sliced onion, and pickles.
Overall, I totally enjoyed the food at Pinkerton Barbecue. I'm glad I tasted brisket for the very first time at Pinkerton. I would say that the meal becomes quite heavy, but it's so tasty that it's difficult to stop. 5 stars!

There are great barbecue places in Houston. No doubt Houston knows the art of smoking and burning… everyone has their favorites too. No doubt this subject is considered taboo. My take, Pinkerton’s knows the voodoo of smoke, sauce and rubs. Before you lunch me like Dale’s and Karen’s do, just try their manic. You then may become a convert… enjoy. ????

First time here. My wife and I heard about them on TV. They had a good long line but it was moving. This being our first time we ordered a variety of things.
We ordered brisket, jalapeno & cheese sausage and turkey. Side orders were bacon mac, cole slaw, cheese rice and bread pudding with iced teas.
We loved the turkey and sausage. The brisket we thought could use more flavor, the bark was good. We also loved the BBQ sauce, very tasty.
Overall a very good experience I know we will be back again.

This has to be one of the best, if not the best barbecue place in town. I had the brisket, ribs, and jalapeño sausage. The brisket was very juicy and tender. You could taste the type of wood used to make the brisket. It goes very well with their barbecue sauce which has a slight kick to it and has undertones of honey mustard. The ribs were cooked very well nice and succulent the meat so tender it falls right off the bone. The jalapeño sausage was very tasty not too spicy, a little mild but still very good. Perfect for those who want to taste spicy but not too spicy. The atmosphere is very casual and laid-back. The staff is super friendly and they had country music, of course playing throughout the area. For those who like adult beverages they have a full service bar well stocked with different types of liquors and beer. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some very succulent barbecue.

Saw this place on TV, thought I’d give it a shot. Was an excellent decision. The pork ribs were so tender they practically melted in your mouth. The bacon mac and cheese was on point. The jalapeño sausage could’ve been a bit spicer, but still had good flavor. Missed out on the beef ribs, but will be going back for them soon. Definitely recommend trying this place out.

This spot was suggested by a friend and it turned out to be pretty delicious!!! Had pork glazed ribs, so delicious. Probably the best ribs I have had in Texas. Brisket was awesome as well. Sides were pretty good : coleslaw and mac&cheese. Their BBQ sauce was similar to a sweet honey mustard bbq sauce pretty good as well.
