Great BBQ spot! We were lucky to go at an off time and there was no line or crowds! Service: Staff was super friendly and helping us order as first timers. You start with cold sides, then hot sides, then meat (by weight) to add to your tray. Food:
Went on a Tuesday evening.
Line took too long with essential 1 person slicing meat. Had high hopes because they made the Texas Top 50 in 2021and that's why I came here, to check another one off the list. But that was 2021. For cold side I had the potato salad. It was mid,

First time here, thought it was good! The potato salad was some of the best I've had. Beans were solid, very well seasoned. Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious, the rosemary in it was a great touch. Ribs were fantastic and fall off the bone!

I will start off saying the line was out the door and around the corner of this place that looks like someone's house from the outside! The location in San Antonio is where we went. They offer family-style sides and some of the most flavorful an
First time ever experiencing Craft BBQ outside of the DFW
First time ever experiencing Craft BBQ outside of the DFW Metroplex and Pinkerton's didn't disappoint to say the least!! Brisket and sausage were on point! Mac n Cheese and Tater salad literally sealed the deal. Keep doing it BIG for Texas
Great Texas BBQ in the heart of San Antonio
Yummy Texas BBQ! Close to the Riverwalk- we took an Uber from the Grand Hyatt San Antonio Riverwalk, as it was very hot on the day we went. We got there early and the line was not too bad but when we left around 12noon, the line was out the door. G
Took several coworkers who had never had Texas barbecue
Took several coworkers who had never had Texas barbecue while we were in town for a conference. Wait was long but worth it! Has a very authentic Texas feel inside with all the exotic taxidermy. Very authentic spot for some great food!
Oh my Gosh!!!! I finally found great bbq here in SA.
Run, don't walk...but run here. We got a beef rib, brisket, pulled pork, and pork ribs and everything was AMAZING. Fall off the bone, nice smoke flavor, just great. And I loved both their sauces, the sweet isn't just the regular with a p

We saw all the videos for Terry Black's BBQ, and it was very good, but Pinkerton's was just so much better. Brisket melted in my mouth. Pulled pork was fantastic. Sides were great! Wonderful BBQ experience.

The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish we ordered came out hot and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a
First time trying Texas BBQ brisket, hopefully not the last!
Our family of four from the UK had lunch here while exploring the city. My wife and I tried the brisket and it was so flavourful, juicy and melt in the mouth, I have never tasted anything like it! I tried several other briskets around San Antonio dur

We got brisket that melted in our mouth, and glazed pork ribs fell off the bone. Super good Texas BBQ.
Load up the fam and just go !
Ok I write lots of reviews, I don’t give out five stars easily. If there were six stars I’d give them to Pinkerton’s ! Flew into San Antonio airport from Florida to see family and wanted some proper Texas BBQ. I read some reviews before I arri
Meat is good… sides are awful
The beef brisket was excellent & pulled pork was good… but that’s it. The chicken was dry and the sides (Cole slaw, potato salad, & beans) were awful. Plus, my meal was $35 and I didn’t get much.
So good, we ate there twice!
Amazing brisket! We walked from our Riverwalk hotel to Pinkerton’s for lunch. The line was out the door before 11 am, but moved quickly. I had read the reviews which advised ordering a sandwich, rather than paying for the meat by the pound. (Around
Delicious!
Great food! I was very skeptical about waiting in the very long line for this restaurant, but we decided to give it a try (Normally would never do this!) However, the food was absolutely amazing! I’m not even a big fan of barbecue and I thought it
Delicious BBQ!
Wow! Service was excellent and bbq meats and hot/cold sides were DELICIOUS! There is usually a long line and you need to go early because sometimes they run out of certain barbecue meats. However, even though there is a long line it moves quickly as
Texas vibes but the meats are bland
Line was out the door but if you’re a Texan you know that means it’s going to be worth the wait. Sadly we were mistaken. The brisket was not bad tasted more like it was cooked in the oven. The pork ribs were tasty and the glaze was sweet. The tur
Must stop if in San Antonio
If you like meat, you have to eat here!!! First trip to San Antonio and was recommended to eat here. Food was the best I had on the week long trip. The employees taking your order are super friendly and make it a fun experience!! You can tell the
Great SAT Evening Meal at Pinkertons
overall good up against other experiences at Hard 8, Salt Lick, Pecan Lodge and Hutchins in Dallas. Have had the joy of many great meals at other places and it stacked up well. Group of four did a large sample tray - one every cold and hot side and

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Pinkerton's Barbecue San Antonio at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Pinkerton's Barbecue San Antonio page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Pinkerton's Barbecue San Antonio to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Pinkerton's Barbecue San Antonio!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
