    Damn I'm so tired of wasting my money. The guy was really nice but the chicken was dry & I didn't appreciate him trying to charge me $14 when the menu says $11.99. I asked him how did it come up to 14.05 he claimed it was taxes. I soils love to know what part of the chicken this is bc he has no taste & the rice is dry. the previous reviews before must be fake.

    If you want to taste the real chicken shawarma, you must come to this place. They know how to satisfy their clients always with a super nice mindset. The food is affordably priced, always delicious and clean. The service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

    I always pass this place on my way home and decided to stop in finally for lunch. Had the chicken shawarma. Pretty tasty and has me wanting to go back and try more! :))

    Chicken shawarma plate.

    Delicious, fresh and affordable! Great food, the chicken shawarma was very well flavored, unlike other places that have no seasoning. The rice and salad were amazing. Came with sauces and bread too. Highly recommend!

    Coming from a girl from Los Angeles, this is honestly my favorite barbecue spot I've been to so…read morefar! I haven't tried a ton of BBQ places yet, but this one completely impressed me. The pork ribs were so flavorful and tender, and the brisket was absolutely delicious ; definitely the stars of the meal for me. Everything tasted fresh, smoky, and cooked perfectly. The service was amazing too. The staff were incredibly nice, welcoming, and super helpful with recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about the food and the customers. Just a little heads up for anyone visiting: if you want to try their most popular items, definitely come earlier! We got there around 7 PM and they were already sold out of quite a few things, which honestly says a lot about how popular this place is. Even with some items gone, the food we did get was amazing and totally worth it. I'd 100% come back next time I'm in town!

    A MUST have if you're in San Antonio. 1 of the best BBQ meats I've ever had - right up there along…read morewith Phil's BBQ at San Diego. Yes, Pinkerton's is THAT good! (IYKYK) Best BBQ in Texas is what I've heard and that's precisely what I experienced. Parking lots are nearby at a price ($28 for 2.5 hrs), unless you get lucky with street parking. Took us 30 min in the line, 10 min to order, and 1 hr to eat - plenty of time left on the parking meter which we prefer rather than cutting it close and getting a ticket. 2.5 hrs for parking felt rather safe for us, if you're wondering. Indoor and outdoor seating is available with plenty of tables. TVs inside for game days to indulge in 2 loves at the same time - food and sports. Ambience is warm, welcoming, and simply chill. Line up, be patient, and order to your liking. Ordering process - request for bread, ordered cold items first (potato salad), moved forward to order hot items (beans, Mac and cheese), grabbed a blueberry cobbler on the counter, and moved forward again to order precisely what we came for... the MEATS! Paid our dues, got fountain drinks, and found an open table to accommodate our party of 4. Open seating! TIP 1: They open at 11 AM, we got there at 3 PM, and they were out of beef ribs already. So keep that in mind if you're there specifically for that. TIP 2: They have 2 sauces from what I could tell - Original and Sweet Sauce. Sweet Sauce was my favorite, but just make sure both are on your table to try out. Live dangerously and mix them! Sooo good... THE TRINITY is what we ordered - or at least, that's what the server told us. The Trinity = Pork ribs, Brisket, and jalapeno cheese link. Omg... every single bite sent us to Heaven and back. Jalapeno cheese link was packed with jalapeno flavor and as if it was soaked in cheese yet didn't look like it. The brisket was the best I've EVER had - thick, juicy, savory, and now set the bar high for all future briskets. Pork ribs - 2 lbs and glazed. Oh man.. just thinking about it makes me depressed like a long lost distant relationship I know won't work out (we live in Nor Cal). Melted off the bone, juicy, smoked and cooked perfectly to... perfection. Slather your favorite BBQ sauces however you'd like and enjoy Nirvana throughout your time at Pinkerton's!

Once walking inside you can see that theres definitely no frills. They had mostly people doing take out here instead of dining in. Foodwise, I got the mixed grill which had three proteins such as lamb and chicken. Also ordered basmati rice on the side and two portions of butter and garlic Naan. All were very tasty. Great portion size too.

    I ordered a lamb gyro. I eat here each year when I'm downtown working at an Air Force conference…read more The prices have gone up, the temperature & quality went down. I have to agree with some of the other posters about things changing. It could be the prices of food, but that shouldn't ever mess with the quality of your product. With that stated it was still a decent gyro, but I've had much better, and much larger for what I paid! A lukewarm gyro, fries & a bottle of water - plus tip ran me over $20. Will I be back next year, probably not, we have a gyro place on base, & there are great Indian places across town. I hope they work on the items people are pointing out. Service wise - the gentleman was nice once I got him to speak with me & answer questions. They have TVs to watch, & it's a well lit, open quiet place to enjoy a book of you're alone, or people watch.
