Mark's Bbq & Catering

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.

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.

Incredible BBQ. We pulled up before opening and there was already a line wrapped around the building, but the line moved very quickly. The menu is simple but everything on it is amazing. The overall vibe is very homey and authentic. Our favorites were the sliced brisket sandwich, the bacon Mac and cheese, and the potato salad.

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.

Best BBQ I’ve tried. The parking situation is terrible though, and the inside of the restaurant is crowded, but the taste of the food makes me neglect the other parts! Cafeteria style seating, which I wasn’t a big fan of. However, the food takes center stage. The meats are so soft and tender, the sides are great, and that sauce is incredible. Everything is super juicy and the portions are big so you have leftovers for the next day :). Love Pinkerton’s, I’ve visited both the Houston and SA locations and have loved the food both times.

The food is amazing! I came for brisket and I wasn't disappointed. It was so tender and flavorful. Everything I ate was well made. However, the bananas foster pudding was a piece of heaven. I walked around with the spoon in my mouth well after it was done. The prices are high but also worth it. The restaurant has a no frills, cafeteria style setting. The food takes center stage. I'm not a fan of the setting, but it may appeal to others.

Pinkerton’s executes top tier bbq with choices to match. Everything was delicious and different. Normally shops specialize in limited meats, but Pinkerton’s has something for everyone. The pork ribs had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. They still have slight bite as opposed to overcooked ones that are almost pulled pork. The brisket was tender and juicy with a nice flavorful rub that was not overly salted. The duck jambalaya was a nice surprise with a ton of flavor. I wish it had more meat, but it was great. Parking is a bit tough and the line can stack up, but it moves very fast. The team chopping the meat goes so fast that you fear for their fingers!
