Pinkerton's Barbecue

This was probably a top 10-20 meal I’ve ever had in my life. The ribs, both the beef rib and the glazed pork ribs were insane. The brisket was also excellent. The sides were decent. I liked the jambalaya better than the Mac and cheese. The banana pudding was really good. Overall 5 star, loved it.

I had a great meal at Pinkerton and would recommend it! The line is about a 45 minute wait from the corner outside to sitting down with food. I was surprised they only had one person slicing brisket and one slicing pork ribs given how busy they were. A few more hands back there would really help keep things flowing. Once I sat down, the food did not disappoint. The mac and cheese was outstanding — creamy, velvety, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. The brisket was moist and packed with flavor, a fantastic start to the meal. The pork ribs were also excellent: very skillfully cooked, extremely tender, and delicious. I did try both the dry-rubbed and candied ribs back-to-back, and I was surprised how similar they tasted — I had a hard time telling them apart. Still, the ribs themselves were wonderful. The coleslaw was solid and above average, though a little on the mayonnaisey side and not super distinctive in flavor. The banana fosters was good but also lacked a distinct special flavor. I liked how they swithed up the sauces and made the original sauce, tha carolina gold which is different from the traditional texas bbq way. Overall, the meats and mac and cheese were fantastic

Everything was delicious. Juicy brisket we loved the bark , tender pork ribs, creamy Mac n’cheese and juicy chicken. The only thing we weren’t too crazy about was the jalapeño cheese rice it needs seasoning ours was bland. The staff were all amazing. Be ready to stand in line it was around the corner when we left but it is worth the wait. 💖

The best BBQ I've ever had. Ribs, duck and chorizo jambalaya, jalapeño and cheese rice, peach cobbler, and banana pudding. Gracious hospitality. Wish it wasn’t so far away. Thank you to the waiting line water delivery person. This Canadian had a hard time with the 100+ degrees.

Came for lunch with some friends as one suggested this place had amazing barbecue. The line was long about an hour, but it was totally worth it. An employee works through line selling mini beers, red dollar, which was amazing for the heat outside. Once inside you start cooling off and seeing the menu. We order some brisket along with beef rib, and a bunch of sides. Let’s talk about the important part of the food which was the rib and the brisket. The beef was so tender and delicious that I didn’t even want to try the brisket. Flavor was perfect, it was so tender that it came off the bone like nothing. The brisket was tender, moist with an amazing flavor. The barbecue sauce that was spicy was also very good. I’m not sure if he was a manager, but somebody kept walking around asking people if they needed anything and hyping up tables which I thought was cool. Good place to come eat with friends and family.
