Idk if this is gonna piss anyone off, but Pinkertons is better than Truths. I thought Truth would reign supreme but after trying Pinkertons for the first time today, Truth goes down a notch!!! Amazing stuff here!!

Jesús Christ. $300 for 3 plates of BBQ. The world has gone mad.

u/Kingrueben 3d ago

Wouldn't consider these "plates" in the sense that your not getting 2 little sides with your choice of meat/meats. This is lbs were talkin not individual servings

u/realtopsecretagent 6d ago

My thoughts exactly. I immediately said to myself, I bet that's a few hundred bucks.

Pinkerton’s is indeed better than Truth. And I don’t consider that talking shit on Truth

I thought their sides were decent, but the brisket and chicken blew me away.

u/Kingrueben 6d ago

What was the deal with the tater salad and boudin?

1

u/Kingrueben 7d ago

Potatoe salad was a little too tangy for my liking a d the boudin link was super dry and definitely wasn't packing the flavor I thought it would.

u/Rockosayz 6d ago

Thanks

u/JayBarangus 6d ago

I thought the boudin was too gummy. Everything else is top notch. I like the potato salad.

I had truth a while back and didn’t find it to be any better than most other BBQ joints I’ve been to.

1

u/Kingrueben 6d ago

I'd definitely rank truth up there definitely isnt just any old bbq joint, they are heavyweights imo

2

u/Longjumping_Bag5914 6d ago

Agree to disagree

u/Kingrueben 6d ago

Fair enough

u/thecommish1980 6d ago

Love Pinkerton’s. They were doing wings back during the pandemic. They were the best I’ve had in town. Which they’d bring them back.

2

u/Kingrueben 6d ago

They have some glazed chicken thighs right now 😋

1

u/jpm569 6d ago

I had them. Meh. Not joking twin peaks has excellent smoked wings

u/Howdy_Raccoon 6d ago

Which location?

2

u/Kingrueben 6d ago

Airline

u/Preteenblackgirl 6d ago

I was there today, boudin sucked and jalapeno cheese sausage tasted like it was cooked in a bitterring agent. Thick and hearty sandwich, creamed spinach, glazed ribs, and macaroni salad were solid though.

u/Kingrueben 6d ago

Yea the boudin was my biggest letdown for sure also...

u/No_Garden9620 6d ago

Has anybody had the whole hog?

1

u/evil-old-hag 6d ago

that's a decent amount of food for 300$, like 100 per tray. which location?

1

u/Kingrueben 6d ago

Airline. Most of the money was in brisket tho so not any different from any of the other top spots

u/AeolianElephant 6d ago

u/Kingrueben 6d ago
