It's a quasi…read moreself-serve/counter order (boudain in the warmer; ladies behind the counter making plates and sandwiches). Everybody was friendly, and the service was relatively fast. I ordered a rib sandwich and grabbed a spicy boudain for the road. The rib, which is chopped for the sandwich, was somewhat dry, though it had decent flavor. Interestingly, one of the folks at my table got the full ribs, and they looked moist and divine. Perhaps my chopped version was in the warmer too long? -- I'll update this review once I rewarm the boudain and go at it, but I will say that it looks and smells wonderful. This is a combination convenience store/gas station/barbecue joint. For the non-Texans out there, sitting at a long table with a roll of paper towels and a bottle of hot sauce is part of the experience. It's old school and outstanding.

Driving around Texas eating great BBQ and telling you the highs, the lows and where to go…read more Drove out to Brenham, Texas on a Saturday morning to eat BBQ at the original Truth BBQ. Arrived around 10:45am , place opens at 11am. A few people in line and only street parking available behind the place. Free Lone Star beer makes the wait enjoyable on a warm Texas day. My crew of four got the Texas Trinity and added 1/2 pound of brisket along with a slice of carrot cake. Sides we got potato salad and Brussel sprouts. Brisket 9/10 is was good but not a 10/10 Ribs 8/10 as they are good but could have been more tender. Sausage we got 1 link of each type 10/10 but my favorite was the brisket boudin. At 99.75 plus our add ons this enough food for 3 guys and little me. We sat outside as it was a picture perfect day for Texas Saturday. I would return and I highly recommend this place to everyone driving on 290 on the weekends early morning.

Of the sides, I like the corn pudding but the beans are forgettable. Free beer? Well it's Lone Star LIGHT! The meal itself was very expensive. Desserts looked great, but I was too full after eating the rich, moist brisket to order any. Most seating is outside, which was a comfortable place to sit and listen to some excellent blues while eating. I'd stop again if in the area while hungry, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. There are likely better places where you are coming from or going to.

Like even on a hot Texas day, if I'm going to sweat, it better be over a slow smoked juicy brisket! Not to mention the bread dough of the sandwich and the mexican corn and brisket mac and cheese! So walk in, turn to your left where the strong smells are coming from and wait about 10 min for your order- even on a busy Saturday. Great service and of course fantastic meat market. I buy oxtail from here hella cheap compared to the big chain stores or even Costco. Come by and eat outside under the covered patio- come hungry!!

The jalapeno and cheese version of any kind of sausage is definitely my favorite.

All the employees were quick but friendly.

Coming from Chicago I just knew it was gonna be a tough call. Y'all know I give 100% true reviews. The food was definitely a 4 out of 10. The sausage was not good at all. The brisket was tasty. It just wasn't as tender. The rib was probably the best thing it didn't have too much flavor, but it was yummy. The macaroni was definitely a three out of 10 and the beans were also about a five out of 10. There really was no flavor to the meats. I'm a heavy cooker and I also love to barbecue, but I barely could taste the smoky flavor. We ended up not eating everything because it honestly wasn't that great however, my favorite thing was probably the rib in the brisket. I really was expecting this to be really good, but after conversing w/ a couple of other people, I heard that this is more like a Houstonian place. The service was great in the ambience was also great. They have a bar next-door that you can sit down grab your drink and go back and sit. Overall, I had fun in the experience, but I definitely are gonna have to give this a two out of five. Oh, and the barbecue sauce I'm gonna have to say no

Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The pork ribs were the star of the show. So tender, fall off the bone deliciousness. Pair it with the hot sauce that they have on the side and it was chefs kiss! The best ribs I've ever had. The brisket on the other hand was a little dry and I wish it had more flavor, but the sauce made up for it. We also got the Mac n cheese with brisket on top. They really did not skimp out on the brisket. It was very delicious and the Mac n cheese was perfectly creamy and decadent. They also pickles, pickled jalapeño, and onions on the side which really cut the fat from the meat. The coleslaw that we got was okay though. Overall, it was a great experience. All the employees were nice and patient with us since it was our first time here and we had some questions. The vibes were definitely there. Will def stop by here if we ever go to Texas again!!

Barbecue that's worth the wait. Pinkerton's barbecue seems…read moreto always have a line as other reviews mentioned. On a beautiful weather worthy day like today it was worth waiting for. I'm a boudin lover at heart so that's a no brained for me. The smoky boudin link ($8) was cooked to perfection, you know the ones you can eat and the casing snaps with crispness as you bite into it. Rice still has its moist and perfect texture as well. Kam ordered the extra lean brisket sandwich ($15) that's served on jalapeño biscuit buns which he seemed to really enjoy We order side to share, just try. Bacon Mac& cheese. ($6, large) Which is really creamy and cheesy. The noodles were perfectly cooked. The only flaw was the bacon fat I bit into which was a large pieces (yuck) someone who's a texture girl I would be skeptical to order it again. Is perfect alone/ without the bacon. The potato salad ($4 small) was a good cool balance. The jambalaya wasn't much of what I expected, rice a tad overcooked for my liking. I'd prefer either the Mac n cheese or potato salad. We usually don't eat pork ribs, but the appearance was too beautiful not to try. I was happy to hear that Pinkerton do sell them by singles for guest who just want to try them for taste, like us. They were fall off the bone great. No military discount offered at this time. This is the original location The line is for dine in, and take out. I do look forward to returning for the brisket sandwich and boudin link.
