Can't wait to go to the location on Upper Front St.!! Tried for the first time at the Soeedie Fest, DELICIOUS is an understatement. My other half and I tried a few of their sauces and wow, I think we will order several things to try!! The buns, soft. The chicken, tender and flavorful. What I tried of the sauces, bursting with flavor!! read more

We actually ordered take out ... the roasted chicken has wayyyyyyy to much bbq sauce in it and the. I'll add greens were sour :( we also ordered ribs and they were extremely dry . Very small portions and the food is really not that great . read more

This place is the real deal! The BBQ is amazing. I had the sampler. The portions are HUGE! I could have easily split this with my fiancée. We both left with boxes of a lot of food. The prices here are very reasonable considering the quality and the portions. The service was also great. We dined in and the cashier brought our food to the table and checked on us again after a few minutes. The restaurant is small, bright, and clean. All in all it was a great experience. I look forward to returning to Pinkies! read more

Don't serve old meat! This was all trashy old meat. One rib was decent others were dried out. Some of the pulled pork was ok, maybe 1/4 of it. Brisket was all trashy dried out and hardened on one side and even the other side wasn't a fresh cut. Salt potatoes were just brown and soft, not salty at all. Mac and cheese just tasted like a cellar. Wasted good money but won't happen again. Don't even try this place! read more

Unfortunately their bbq just didn't hit the spot for me. I know a lot of people love it and that's fine but for me it was very dry, even the second time back hoping I just got them on an off day. Service is quick and friendly both times which was nice. Nice little place they have too. Just wasn't for me but I would still tell anyone to at least try it to get their own opinion. read more

Horrible Mac. Never ordering again. It was a paste consistency didn't taste like real cheese and made me feel sick. I threw it away and order from Caribbean patty world for my family. read more

I usually get food delivered, so I try to temper my expectations based on how long the drive to my house is. Here is what we got: Dry rub ribs: smoky and moist, but not 'it' Brisket: very moist and tender, but needed more flavor Cornbread: pretty dry, but the flavor was still there Fries: pretty bland Salt potatoes: meh, just boiled potatoes Unfortunately, all of the food was lukewarm at best(due to the delivery length, no doubt). The fries and potatoes got 'steamed' in their packages. Everything needed salt. Not terrible, but I won't be ordering here again. For my dry rub rib needs, I'll definitely go with Food & Fire. read more

Couldn't get this amazingly, delicious, tender, flavorful food into my mouth fast enough. Very very satisfying meal. Decent prices, friendly attentive staff, various menu items. Definitely going back...many more times in my future. Thank you! read more

Trying this place, I had very little expectations but now I am a HUGE FAN and will keep coming back! Since the prices were fairly cheap, I thought "you get what you paid for" and expected dry, bland food, but they really know what they're doing! 5 stars all around. I got the pulled pork and brisket for the teaser, and I cannot wait to come back and try the ribs! read more

First off anyone who gave this place less than 5 stars needs to rethink their review. Everything about Pinkies is 5 star. Food was amazing, friendly staff/owner. Low key. Simple setting. I think it's proper to state that BBQ doesn't need glam if it's great on it's own. I researched other spots in town to get BBQ and everywhere else just liked like fluff. I wish I had this place in my home town, I'd eat here weekly. The BBQ sauces were flavorful and delicious and the meats were perfect. read more

Authentic Southern BBQ! The beef brisket and pulled pork sandwich are authentic quinine.

The food was horrible, brisket dry no smoke ring no flavor, pulled pork also flavorless and dry, ribs were greasy and rubbery, Mac n cheese I think they pulled it from the garbage before throwing it out, collard greens definitely boiled in chicken broth not good at all!!!!!!!! Bbq sauce it ketchup and molasses ! Don't wast your $$$$$$ wish I could give negative stars read more

Ordered pulled pork,brisket and chicken for a Binghamton Men's Lacrosse tailgate. Food was delivered on time, hot and ready to eat. Staff was very accommodating and most importantly the food was delicious!!! Boys were very happy and we will definitely be ordering again!! read more

We really liked this place. We ordered 3 tasty teasers 2 with brisket and ribs and one with ribs and chicken. We originally planned to try the pulled pork but unfortunately they were out. The chicken was dry and a little bland- we would not order again. The brisket and ribs were amazing! The rib meat fell off the bone. The brisket was so tender and flavorful. The cornbread was really good. We loved that coleslaw was not made with Mayo it was sweet and tangy. The greens are average but pair well with the rest of the food. The salt potatoes were perfectly cooked and salted. The only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because we were disappointed with the chicken and because our sides were wrong. We order 3 coleslaws, 2 greens, and 1 salt potatoes but received 2 coleslaws, 2 greens, and 2 salt potatoes . The portions are large and we will get a 2nd meal from our leftovers. We will definitely dine here again. read more

I can't say this strongly enough... try this place!!!!! Now that that's out of the way, onto my review.: Went to Pinkie's tonight for the first time. It's a small, no frills place. Right up my alley! You could smell the smoke the second you walk in the door. They have a basic BBQ menu with ribs, brisket and pulled pork with various platters and sandwiches of the like. I ordered a sandwich off of the specials board, I believe it was called the Boss. It lived up to the name. The sandwich had brisket, pulled pork, onion straws, pickled jalapeños and BBQ sauce on a roll. It was a monstrosity that I had to try to figure out how to pick up and eat. It was BBQ love at first bite. I took some of the brisket and pork off the sandwich and ate it on the side so I could taste each individually. You could see the bark and smoke rings on them and taste the rub in each bite. I cut the brisket with a plastic spoon it was so tender. Both the brisket and pork were beyond reproach. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich and tried a few of their sauces with it. (I believe them to be made in house) She loved it! We split an order of chil chili cheese fries. The chili was Texas style, no beans. Very tasty! We only had the fries, but will try other sides on our next trip there. Overall, we both really enjoyed our meal. It was good enough that it would make me reconsider firing up my smoker and going through 12 hours of babysitting a pork butt, when I can just drive a few miles to this place. read more

The food is ok. Ribs were dry. Wings were eh. Best food here is hands down the cornbread and the baked beans. Won't be back.

This BBQ joint really surprised me. It was very clean and had a great atmosphere. The service was excellent. The employee who took our order was very pleasant and helpful. The service was quick. The menu has something for everyone. I had a great pulled pork salad. My friend had a pinkies sampler. The brisket was delicious. Many different sides and they all were delicious. Their choice of various homemade bbq sauces was great. I could not pick my favorite they all were so good. Will definitely go back. read more

Always great food service and clean and comfortable seating ! If your in late enough you might get a little taste of that days bakeries unsold and you will leave more than happy and full with plenty of leftovers! read more

Very good and reasonably priced. Meat was all good and I liked the pork ribs the best. You need fat for good barbecue. Sliced beef was good but very lean. Pulled pork was very tender, but also very lean. Owner even checked in on every table! Very nice. All of thier sauces were fantastic! read more

All I can say is WOW !..very nice people too. My man Floyd is picky, and I love BBQ, so we ordered a Sampler to go. When I opened up the package I was so pleased, wonderful portions! For once I dont feel ripped off, but we loved the juicy tender smoked goodness in front of us and we were so happy that I am sure we ll be back soon for more more and more!! A friend was bragging about your tacos, but the Sampler really satisfied our hungry appetites for sure!! Thank you so very much!!! The '' others '' : that give you very small portions and all fat, and charge you ridiculous prices. Not you, you do it right and again , we are telling all our friends and family now, so God bless you and God bless America for your great BBQ!!!!!!! read more

The ribs were probably the best I've ever had. They were meaty, juicy, and full of flavor. The meat fell off the bone. The pulled pork had a nice bark and very lean. We had a very nice selection of sauces. I tried a few and liked the hottest choice which as not very hot, but had a little kick. The pulled pork tacos were full of flavor as well and lettuce topping really went well with the hot flavors of the taco. The sides were okay. The salt potatoes didn't have that salty flavor that I was expecting. The pasta salad was very good and not at all what I expected. It was spirali noodles with an Italian dressing. The mac'n cheese was creamy with good flavor. It was nice to see the cook come out of the kitchen to greet his patrons and ask if everything was good. The only disappointment was the brisket which was incredibly lean, but very dry. The cornbread was also very dry and over cooked. I'm definitely going back for the ribs and pulled pork tacos though because they are that good. read more

Best pulled pork in town. The ribs are a bit lacking in flavor. Overall, it's a great BBQ place with some nice homemade desserts.

Very good! The Mac N cheese was Amazing! My fiancé had the Beef brisket and I had the Upper Front Street.. both were delicious as well as the cornbread and the piggie butter on top was a cute touch ... the ONLY thing I didn't like was the moronic "hostess" that was working tonight 4/11 around 6:00... when I asked her what she recommended , she got snooty and said "Oh, I don't eat this type of food!" ... umm wtf does that mean?? And why are you working in an establishment where you wouldn't try the food and give customers suggestions when asked ??? I think you should get rid of her she's an idiot and not a good look for the business . The boss was very nice though and came around the make sure everything was good . I Would definitely come back and will tell my family also . read more

Just went to Pinkies with the family and enjoyed it. This was our second time here. They have an array of bbq sauces which is fun. I got the dish which comes with two meats, corn bread, and two sides. I got two portions of pulled pork with the salt potatoes and mac & cheese. The salt potatoes are good and the mac & cheeese has a smoked flavor like cumin which adds dimension. The pork is incredible! They use a dry rub on everything, so you can have it as is or add one of their sauces. I especially enjoyed the sweet mustard sauce, but went back and forth between that and the Carolina and Original sauces. The corn bread is a mini loaf and is a northern (sweet) type. It comes with a lil piggy pad of butter on top. In addition, another at my table got the collard greens (which have a tendency to be bitter) as a side. Here, they cook them properly so that they still have flavor, but no tanginess. I would highly suggest this family-owned restaurant to anyone looking for something unique in the southern tier or as an alternative to the normal roadside restaurant stops as you travel through. Enjoy! read more

House sampler of Tender, moist, fall-of-the-bone, great flavored pork ribs, brisket and pulled pork prepared perfectly. Though various bbq sauces available; not required. Large portions. Took half of meat home with us. Sides unfortunately were under-whelming. Mac and cheese: macaroni overcooked; cheese sauce rather bland and pasty. Salt potatoes: overcooked, mushy and bland. Coleslaw: Carolina style, 99% cabbage, tasted sour not vinegary. For $38 (2-people) counter service expected better than styrofoam. Great tasting meats. If you enjoy good bbq, Strongly reccomend supporting this joint! read more

Great little spot. You can't go wrong. We ordered Pinkies House Sampler with a half of chicken and four sides it was a great price and the food was fresh and very good. Pulled pork was not dry, the brisket has a good bark the ribs were fall off the bone. Chicken very tender and not over cooked. The original sauce was sweet and tasty. Plenty of sides to choose from. read more

Lunch today was absolutely DELICIOUS, staff is very friendly and kind. We shared a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and the best cowboy chili (brisket) I've ever had. We were too full for dessert but we've had them before and they were great too. Happy to support this locally owned business who does a great job! read more

I love bbq, but am usually disappointed and wish that I'd just made it at home (and I don't really make great bbq). However, the food here was excellent. I especially enjoyed the pulled pork--the portion size was enormous and the sauces were excellent. (The original was a little spicy and the Carolina added that great zing of vinegar.) The brisket was very tender and assertively smoky. The cole slaw is made with a vinegar dressing and while it was good, I am one of those people who will add mayo to anything so it wasn't my favorite. Casual atmosphere--you place your order at the counter and then pick up the food (which is served in plastic baskets or containers) at a window. Staff were friendly and helpful and the owner deservedly takes pride in the food he serves. read more

Tonight my wife and I gave Pinkie's a try. Due to COVID, we're still not dining in, and we took our dinners to go. My wife, who is vegetarian, ordered a vegetable panini. It had a nice variety of fresh produce, and my wife really enjoyed it. She had a side of the fried pickles which were good, hot and not greasy. I had ribs with collard greens and mac n' cheese as sides. There too, everything was fresh and tasty. The dining area has been updated since the property's Mexican restaurant days and it has comfortable, contemporary feel. The staff was nice. So, we had an excellent take out dinner and the price seemed reasonable for BBQ. I am sure we will return soon for take out and perhaps inside as well when all of the COVID craziness subsides. read more

went to Pinkies last eve for supper. What a disaster. Had 1/2 a rack, a greasy mess! Corn bread was cold, butter was colder, could not spread, so had to skip that. mac and cheese was tasteless. Didn't know it was a serve yourself type of place. plastic utensils and baskets, soda from a vending machine. Sprite was flat! store laid out poorly, tables were so big they prevented our sitting in booths and we are not over weight. Will not go back. $28.00 for 1/2 a rack and a pulled pork sandwich and 1 flat soda and 1 water is too pricy. good luck folks, but I would not recommend. Nor would my wife. read more

Waooo, It was my first time and won't be my last, this place has the best ribs and wings in town. We really enjoy the foods, it was excellent. The best part is that the owner, pass by your table to talk to you, that is a great detail from him. Thanks read more

Real good bbq. Pork, chicken and ribs all on point... and moist brisket! The only moist brisket I've found in broome county! Yummy sides. Great for take out. Overall a solid local joint that I enjoy. read more

This is a cool little spot for some good smoke meat...I'd go for the pork or the beef. Both very tasty!
