March 31, 20232 yr Grant seems like a nice guy. Given our age range and Texas Ex status, I bet we know quite a few of the same Lamar people. Pretty slick restaurant and bar. BBQ is expensive everywhere. I'm happy for him, but I don't feel an obligation to eat there. Best of luck. Edited March 31, 20232 yr by billfromlaketravis
March 31, 20232 yr I can't imagine living in Houston and only eating BBQ at Pinkerton's. What a wasted opportunity.
March 31, 20232 yr I can't imagine living in Houston and only eating BBQ at Pinkerton's. What a wasted opportunity. I agree. And I wish they were still consistently putting out great BBQ so they could be in my rotation. But it’s a hard sell with Truth down the road. Plus a few other places.

March 31, 20232 yr It’s my dad’s favorite place, and it delivered today I don’t mind being disappointed in a restaurant I have never been to and that gamble not paying off, but it’s frustrating to see a very consistent restaurant you love become inconsistent. Does Grant live here or SA? Curious if the SA location is more consistent. But that’s a tough sell for me with Reese Bros and 2M. Tejano BBQ joints tend to be fucking amazing (like Burnt Bean and Valentina’s).
March 31, 20232 yr One last note, from 12:30 to 1:30 the line was out the door. Steady lunch crowd, it was very busy
April 1, 20232 yr Brisket & Rice making a run at Truth’s crown in my opinion. Posted a review in the Texas BBQ thread.
April 1, 20232 yr Ive eaten at the big 7 in houston (tejas, corkscrew, pinkertons, truth, pitroom, bretts, killens) like a combined 100 times over the past decade or so. Never had a bad meal at any of them. gatlins, yes blood bros, sure papa charlies, once but never the other 7
April 2, 20232 yr I've had average and great meals at Pinkerton's, Pit Room, and Corkscrew. Tejas and Truth have been only great. It's always disappointing to catch an off day, especially at the current prices or if you've talked it up to someone from out of town.
April 3, 20232 yr I have a 50/20/20/10/0 ratio for eating my BBQ at Truth/Pinkertons/Feges/Rudys/Goode Co and that order matches what I think the quality and consistency of BBQ is. Truth is best but most inconvenient. I've had 2 average meals there I would say. But that is a very high batting average given how much I go. I havent had bad meal at Pinkerton's but their best doesn't match Truth. Feges and Rudy's pretty convenient so that's why they are still in rotation. Goode Co = sucks.

April 3, 20232 yr It doesn't get much love here, but I've had some good meals at Feges. I only eat there if we're randomly in the area during lunch though. I’ve only been to pit room 5 times or so, that place is great pit room - never order the bbq, but their chicken tacos are great Goode co really sucks The sausage is my favorite part about Pit Room. I think I saw they're opening one out closer to me which is nice.

Are they still assholes about their sides? There’s no reason to not serve collared greens everyday. Feges make a pretty decent bird too, but the skin texture is a little rubbery.

April 9, 20232 yr i saw it on his instagram stories I could walk to j bar, haven’t been yet I’ve been trying to avoid IG lately, but just went and looked. I hope he had the brisket by itself and not just the fried rice (which is great), but B&R has the brisket locked in.
April 9, 20232 yr Well I think you talked me into driving up to Cypress Patricio. I just can't anymore with Brisket House. The wet brisket I ordered was dry AF. Their sausage and cream corn remain solid.

Their sausage and cream corn remain solid. I have never gone there because I have always heard it was as mediocre as can be. No need to go to a place like that with so many good spots around. Or just go to Rudy’s.
April 9, 20232 yr B&R is high on my list. It's just hard to drive by Truth when it's so close to my house. Has anyone actually been to J bar M after fuckface decided to can Willow? I've just assumed it sucks, but maybe I'm wrong.

May 22, 20232 yr Finally tried B&R due Surly rec. Very delicious but I wouldn't make that drive again with Truth and Pinkertons closer to me. Glad I went though just to scratch that itch.

Go to FM 529 and N Eldridge Pkwy for great BBQ, a half pallet of sod, shop for a concrete yard sculpture of a gorilla, buy back my catalytic converter and get a tattoo just as all normal Americans do.

Guessing you are Surly 1%er and buy your laundry detergent at Target instead of the back of a pickup truck in bulk size? Didn't see it on your shopping list.

I’m about equidistant from Pinkertons, truth, and B&R, but the biggest thing for me was that since had to take it to go, I was in and out in about 5 minutes. That type of quick trip isn’t really happening at truth/Pinkertons.

July 8, 20232 yr Grant announced to the public that he struggled with drugs in the past and just celebrated his 10th anniversary of his clean date. Props to him. When it comes to quality of BBQ and quality of the person running the restaurant there is no one better than Pinkerton’s in my book. Edited July 8, 20232 yr by Macklemore
