PINKERTON’S BARBECUE
107 W Houston St, San Antonio, TX 78205
Pinkerton’s Barbecue is an award-winning Texas smokehouse in downtown San Antonio known for its Central Texas-style barbecue, scratch-made sides, and rustic lodge-inspired atmosphere. Founded by pitmaster Grant Pinkerton, the restaurant has earned national recognition for its expertly smoked meats, full-service bar, and commitment to traditional Texas barbecue techniques. With May 28 recognized as National Brisket Day, Pinkerton’s serves as a fitting destination to celebrate one of Texas’ most iconic barbecue staples.
The menu is centered around prime-grade brisket smoked over mesquite and post oak, creating a rich bark and tender interior packed with smoky flavor. Guests also line up early for the restaurant’s massive “Dino” beef ribs, which regularly sell out, along with St. Louis-cut pork ribs, whole-hog pork, and house-made duck sausage. Scratch-made sides like bacon macaroni and cheese, jalapeño cheese rice, and mustard potato salad round out the experience, while the fully stocked bar offers craft cocktails, bourbon, beer, and Ranch Waters to pair with the barbecue feast.
