Pinkerton's Barbecue
Loading map…
Pinkerton's has earned continuous placement on Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ Joints list across multiple years, a streak that reflects the consistent excellence of pitmaster Grant Pinkerton's whole-hog and beef approach. The ribs, both beef and pork, have earned particular praise, with the baby backs drawing fans away from the more Instagram-famous brisket. A Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025 cemented its national reputation. The original Greater Heights location on Airline Drive remains the flagship.
