Saw the reviews and decided to treat myself to lunch at Pinkerton's today and OMG!…read more The line to get in stretched onto the sidewalk and it took about an hour to reach the counter which was the standard setup for local bbq. Cold sides, hot sides, then MEAT!! A Warm peach cobbler individually boxed and kept on the counter over the warm sides. They don't have meal plates; so you order the meats by the pound or by how many slices you want. I went with 3 slices of brisket and 3 slices of smoked turkey breast and a small side of cole slaw. The brisket was fall-apart tender and did not need a knife or either of their BBQ sauces; the turkey had a wonderful smoky flavor and didn't need any sauces either. The slaw had a nice tang to it without being too sweet. The main dining room has family style tables but was nowhere near crowded. There are picnic tables outside as well. Lots of stuffed animals and heads hanging on the walls. The brisket was a bit pricey ($35/lb) but not unexpected due to the current cost of beef; the turkey was $24/lb. All in all excellent quality and value!

It took about 35-40 minutes to get to the door and another 10-15 inside. Service wise, all the servers were friendly. The main reason why the line take me so long is each order is customized. You can order by piece (1 or 2 ribs, 1 or 2 slices of brisket, etc) and it's weighed or you can order by pound. If you get pork ribs, try not to get the last piece...there's no meat on it and you're essentially paying for the bone. You'll order from 3 different stations (sides, dessert then meats) I opted to skip the sides to focus on trying the different meats and a dessert. The dessert was the mistake. I got the banana foster by staff recommendation. It didn't have any chunks of banana and too much cinnamon. But the worst thing is getting sick from it. I'd probably come back to try the beef ribs and sides next time I'm in the area. The brisket was one of the best I've ever had. It was tender juicy and not too fat. The pork ribs were very tender except for the end piece which was a little dry. The sausage was OK, nothing special. The two flavors of BBQ sauce (sweet and original) were different but okay.

Loved the decor! It was busy but not so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. Started with fried pickle spears that were delicious!! My wife had a Caesar salad with a side of the creamiest mac and cheese either of us has had in a very long time. I thoroughly enjoyed the he second cut brisket also with the m&c as well as the cole slaw which was spot on! Nice and flavorful without being too sweet. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert but the peach cobbler we saw looked amazing! Including one cocktail and an iced tea, the bill was under $70 before tip and the quality was significantly higher than at the bbq chains I go to in SoCal. Definitely recommend!!

I would say try some other place on the river walk, this one wasn't worth it.

Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!

I started with a prickly pear margarita, which was a little too sweet for my liking, although I'm not usually a fan of sweet drinks. For an appetizer, I ordered the shrimp cocktail, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. My only complaint? I wish there had been more than five pieces! For my main course, I had the double rib pork chop, and it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and paired with a sweet potato pineapple hash that was absolutely divine. Service was great overall, and our server was lovely. My only minor gripe was that we weren't given knives for our entrees, particularly when ordering a pork chop, and I wish that had been noticed and addressed a little sooner. All in all, a wonderful dining experience in a prime River Walk location. I would definitely return the next time I find myself in San Antonio!

All three servers were attentive, kind, and helpful. We received water and coffee refills without asking. ALL AMERICAN We exerperienced this meal two different days. The potatoes are deliciously seasoned and crispy yet soft and fluffy. Hard boiled eggs were prepared perfectly and arrived hot. The chicken sausages were sweet and savory. The preserve was divine, well bodied, and high quality. The wheat and sourdough toasts were toasted just right where they were crisp and soft. TEXAS WAFFLE Worth a try! Crisp, fluffy, and perfectly texture and flavored waffle. Great size for sharing. The berries topped with were fresh. The fresh whipped cream was creamy and thick and refreshing. STEEL CUT OATMEAL This is a large portion and great for 2-3 people. The oats were cooked tender with the right amount of water content. The bananas and blueberries were fresh and ripe. The toasted coconut was browned well, flavorful, and crisp. The honey and hemp seeds(?) Were a great addition. FRUIT CUP All fruit were ripe and fresh: honeydew, cantaloupe, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, pineapple. Crispy Chicken Wings Elected guajillo buffalo flavor. Great amount of heat and tang. Well-rounded flavor compared to a simple buffalo flavor. Accouterments in clouded fresh celery and Picasa. Smoky ranch was flavorful, not too rich, and a smooth consistency. Q Burger Elected a medium cooked burger. Very delicious, juicy, flavorful and balanced. All ingredients complimented each other. A burger lover would really enjoy this burger. AMBIANCE Very high ceiling. Open, fresh space. Surrounding sound was relaxing with the indoor river flowing next to the Q Kitchen. Cool climate control. Gentle country music low enough to hear and have a quiet conversation. Lights are lowered during late night dining.

Favorite item was the Alamo huevos rancheros. This was a rare treat to enjoy a dish with brisket, cheese, and salsa without some kind of heartburn afterwards. But this was lighter than expected and tasted amazing! Other dishes we tried: Egg white frittata: very good and a nice touch that it is served in a skillet! Texas waffle: was one of the best waffles either of us has had in a long time Blueberry pancakes: very good. I really enjoyed the stewed blueberry Chilaquiles: this we felt was the only miss. Didn't like that it was prepared with tortilla chips instead of fried tortillas Steak and eggs: ask for extra chimichurri sauce and maybe add some extra salt. Once you do that, this dish is fantastic Avocado toast: this definitely needs smoked salmon or other protein. Otherwise it isn't very substantial. I had it with smoked salmon and it really hit the spot. The service was polite and attentive. We're excited to return for our next visit

I didn't need extra fat from avocado after the corn cakes since it doesn't add much flavor to the dish. The corn cakes are good and I will order again but not as good as some other cornbread. It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick. I wish it was a fluffy whip cream to cut down from all the sweetness. Overall it's still a better tres leches than other places in the area.

They will start you out with chips and salsa and those were really good. The chips are very thick and tasty while the salsa is thick like a mole but very tasty and deep in flavor. So many items on the menu looked good, so I started with the tiki cocktail and a mangonada while deciding what to order. Both drinks were really delicious of course. I decided on the fajita plate and the birria. I thought the fajita was the better of the two dishes, but makes sense since beef is more expensive than goat. The fajitas come with tortillas, but these seemed to be stored bought and not homemade. Beans were very good though. Overall, I was very impressed and would come back again if I was ever in the area.
