About Pinkerton's Barbecue
Texas BBQGroup dinner
Pinkerton's Barbecue is a family-run pitmaster operation in downtown Houston that honors Texas barbecue traditions with slow-smoked meats and housemade sauces. Expect a communal, no-frills atmosphere where the line is part of the ritual and the meat—especially the brisket—does the talking. Sauce is optional; great smoke is not.
What to Order
Texas-Style Brisket
Paper-thin slices of tender, smoky brisket with a dark bark—the centerpiece that defines the pit.
St. Louis–Cut Ribs
Fall-to-the-bone ribs glazed lightly so the smoke and seasoning shine through with every bite.
Housemade Sausage
Coarse-ground pork and spice, smoked until juicy with a snap that balances rich meatiness.
