Pinkerton’s Barbecue is an outstanding BBQ spot in Houston that delivers authentic flavors with plenty of charm and character. The atmosphere perfectly complements the food—simple, welcoming, and true to its roots.
The brisket is the highlight here—tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, with just the right amount of smoky depth. The sausage, however, truly stands out; it’s easily the best I’ve ever had, with a bold flavor and perfect snap.

Thank goodness we got there early, as the parking can be a challenge. Shortly after we arrived the line to order grew long, and places to sit grew scarce. All of that was bearable, but after the two of us ordered and I went to pay, the cost for just two people was exorbitant. Be warned: The single beef rib will cost you more than a prime porterhouse and you’re paying by the pound. So you’re paying for a big bone and considerable fat. I’ll go back, but I’ll pay much more...

The brisket was phenomenal. As I was preparing a sandwich, the brisket was falling apart even though it was sliced. Highly recommended. (Request a hamburger bun if order by weight)
The mac n cheese is delightful.
The coleslaw was disappointing and lacked a tangy bite, IMO
