Pinkerton's Barbecue in Houston

The jambalaya was very dry and flavorless. I wouldn't have known there was sausage in it if the sign hadn't said it was duck and sausage. Mac and cheese was dry and flavorless - couldn't finish it. Beans had a weird taste to them and we couldn't finish them. The brisket was VERY fatty, we left over 40% of it behind because of the extreme fattiness.

Amazing brisket! Never disappoints But get there early, they do sell out in a regular basis. Try the house BBQ sauce as well. Goes well on every meat dish offered.

It's rare for me to find a BBQ restaurant that really wows me, but Pinkerton's Barbecue is on the list of my top BBQ restaurants in Houston! The glazed pork ribs here are to die for! The meat practically falls off the bone, and the sweet glaze is the perfect touch. Moist brisket is always a must for barbecue, the moist brisket here is so tender and flavorful. So the meat = 10/10 for me But I also judge a BBQ place by their sides, and the sides here are just OK. I tried their Mac and cheese and potato salad. They were good but nothing too out of the ordinary. I came on a Sunday morning right before they opened at 11, and there was already a small line forming at the door. Nothing too crazy though! Aside from the line, there was not a problem finding seating and social distancing while dining in.
