Pinkie's BBQ Lubbock Reviews
Plenty of bbq joints in town but if you haven't tried pinkies your missing out. The food goes great with anything whether its soda,beer, even Kool aid if that's your kind of thing.filling and more than likely to put you in a food coma. #realtexasbbq.
Mmm good brisket sanwich with fixings. Great gizzards and bar b que sauce!
My food is always hot and fresh. Haven't never had to call to complain.
I love their gizzards with hot sauce, all their BBQ is great, I have been getting pinkies gizzards for years
Honestly, I had a big problem with the restaurant. So I talked to the owner and manager and they made things "RIGHT." Thank you for caring about your customers. The manager is a great person!!
Ordered a slice brisket sandwich, very good portion, tender and juicy, very good!!!
Day time crew is awesome!! :0) the food is excellent great and fast service and their prices are reasonable stop by and check it out rochelle allan is awesome
Had the pail gizzards and the mushrooms they where great and I had to go home to Brownfield, TX. Still great when I got home, Thanks
The staff is friendly and food is always good. Great sandwiches and the best gizzards in lubbock.
Literally eat here no less than once a week so good! Always get the gizzards with a hot AND a mild sauce
Always get my livers n gizzards here!! Bought fried burritos for the first time here and they are delicious!!
Loved the Chicken Livers, that's what I ordered and they were Fresh as well as Delicious.
Great BBQ sandwiches & the BEST potato salad in town! Livers & gizzards are always fresh
Best sliced brisket moist and tender , chopped brisket great and the gizzards. Awesome job cooks keep Pinkies going Lubbock Texas
Best chopped beef brisket sandwiches. Lots of grease just the way you would expect from Pinkies. Yes the workers are horrible but it’s Pinkies. Seems like the owners would do something about them. But it’s a must do when in town.
So good really great service too from the gal cooking in the back she’s awesome
Never had BBQ like Pinkie's BBQ. We've lived in the area for years and we didn't know that it existed until one day we wanted BBQ. The only place that we could find was Pinkie's. It was so good! I would recommend it to anyone. They just need to make the place a little more noticeable. We thought it was a liquor store.
My daughter and I went in to get something to eat for the drive home. My daughter had a seizure and the staff and customers jumped to help us instantly. Calling 911 and helping me get her on the floor. They were ALL our HERO'S today. Amazingly awesome people!
I haven't been to Pinkie's and years I'm talking like 25 years and I went yesterday and got my favorite from years ago gizzards and barbecue sauce and they were just like I remembered
Best turkey legs, good friendly service, and good weekly specials!
Stopped in for lunch one day because my wife was craving gizzards and this is the go-to place for that. They also had a 3-meat plate special on Friday, so we all got that and everything was great. Will have to go more often. It had been a while, since the location closer to us closed.
Good ole BBQ food. It's never changed in flavor. From sandwiches to gizzards and the livers too, it all good stuff. The sauce itself is good and food is the same as when my parents would buy it when it was down 1729 road.
Pinkies is an institution in Lubbock and to the surrounding communities. I ordered a small tray of Gizzards and “Hot” BBQ sauce, so delicious and that sauce is unique with a kick! My sandwich was great with ample meat to bun ratio. Next time I’m trying a brownie or some cobbler. Thanks for the memories!
An old favorite from back in the days . When my pops took us when we were kids on a Saturday afternoon. When it was out of the city limits

I always get a chopped brisket sandwich and gizzards with hot bbq sauce on the side. Always been on point in my opinion.
Had my birthday lunch from the food here and I must say it was delicious and fresh ..we loved the beans were on point and hottt potato salad was good and omggg the BBQ sandwiches were amazing good .....very good had the BBQ craving and this helped with it 🤣😅😋😋it was good
It's hit miss with customer service. I came here for the Gizzards not the customer service. They now have Turkey legs, beats Fair prices. Always best to come early in the day. I hope they start in business and find good staff (customers can be rude).
I drive from Amarillo tx just ta eat the best bbq in west Texas next bbq they need to open a pinky bbq in Amarillo love every thing they serve r

The food is good but the service sucks !!!! Was in line for what seemed forever. No one ever answered the Entercom to take my order. Me thinking Entercom not working cause even after saying hello anyone there and getting no answer I drive forward to window only to be told they couldn't take my order cause I didn't use Entercom! I explain that no one was answering Entercom but they didn't care They still didn't take my order!!! Not a happy customer!
Pretty dam good and cheap for a Gass station. And they have specials on certain days. But they try and keep the place clean so please be courteous and pick up after your self!
Always loved pinkies,my dad introduced me to pinkies....we used to share gizzards together..brings back great memories...
Gizzards were good. Staff is not very inviting, but it was alright.
Could have had more bbq sauce on the brisket sandwiches. Be careful with the chopped brisket sandwich, and make sure you have it in a plastic bag before taking it to your vehicle.
Not as good as the one that was by the old strip If you want it done right I suggest going inside where you can see them make your order Best gizzards and spicy sauce is pretty good too
I've been going to pinkies since I was younger and I've always loved to gizzard.. you can't go wrong with them . Today I got gizzards and a chopped BBQ sandwich and they were both great. If you like your BBQ saucey I'd recommend getting extra sauce . The employees were friendly so thank yall

Little over-priced 1 pound of pork ribs $19 Total of 6 ribs but good
I like going to pinkies for their gizzards, as I'm sure I'm not alone.
Best gizzards anywhere. Nice owner Sausage did not have any smoke flavor and tastes like eckards plain sausage

Pinkies isn't what it used to be. During my last visit I couldn't eat my order of gizzards because the batter was rock hard. :(
Very friendly service, but sliced brisket was a bit dry, leaner than I prefer. Side dish portions were smaller than expected. Charged for water...
We lived near One for 35yrs. GREAT food, BBQ, Hot link sandwich, Cold beer, Gizzards , Cherry Cobbler . If you havnt tired it, Try it AGAIN SOON.!!
Decent food but not great. Affordable and unprocessed alternative to fast food. Property is shared with a gas station convenience store so you could say the atmosphere is awkward when your stuphhing your face with meat when a crowd of party boys comes in to buy energy drinks and arizonas for a night of partying. The only way they could work with the location is if they hired a gangley bum to point at someone's plate of bbq when convenience store customers come in and say "don't party too hard or this could be you heheh"
Great food. Gizzards are great. Very poor customer service. If you order for lunch, you will have it by dinner time.
The chop BBQ brisket was good the gizzards were fresh.they need to put seasoning. On the gizzard. Flour or batter to taste better .. a lot of people keep telling them about this but they keep ignoring us.
For a gas station BBQ joint it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Brisket and sausage was moist. The ribs on the other hand were over cooked. The sides were exceptionally small amount. Would I return... probably not. I have had considerably worse in my time. But I judge bbq joints against my cooking as well as my taste buds, so I'm pretty particular when it comes to good BBQ!!
Frequented mostly by those wanting fried chicken livers and gizzards this place is a solid option for lunch and takeout. A fun diverse menu that resembles a country convenience store. Brisket is good but not pitmaster quality, same with the sides. Prices are good and overall experience has so far always good.

Gizzards were great!!!! Went for sliced beef and they were out. Ordered chop beef, not so great.
We enjoy pinkies often we drive in from Plainview, got sandwiches on Monday 1031 2023, something was off about the sandwich. Didn't hit the spot, was disappointed.
I went through the drive thru made my order and was over charge! When I brought it to the cashier's attention she said "yea I saw that would you like another side? It will be on the house." Uhhhh No ma'am in this case I would be paying for it....the food was okay but the whole I know I cheated you I won't mention if you don't, was over my head.
Shamelessly overpriced for the portions they give you. Food quality isn’t bad but it’s nothing special either.
I would call this oven or crockpot BBQ which is not BBQ. BBQ is meat + fire = Smokey meat. No smoke on this stuff. The brisket is dry. I’m not a sauce person when I eat bbq but had to have it on this dry stuff and it has an off taste. If you want bbq go down the street to the Shack. Step it up Pinkies and make real Texas BBQ.
It wasn't horrible. But I don't think it's worth the price.
Not worth the price. Very bland. Got the brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese had 0 flavor and brisket sandwich was cut very very thin.
Staff was friendly; but did not make our sandwiches right. Both were supposed to have hot sauce and they didn't. Sliced beef was to be made with a little fat in it; but there was way too much fat (almost half of it). There was also a long hair in the wrapped up with the sandwich. Only great thing about this visit was the potato salad. Not enthusiastic about this location.
Pinkies sounded Great today till we tasted our food. Sliced brisket sandwich was extremely dry n hard. The gizzards were also dry. Service was good n polite. Very disappointing n pricey for what we got.
My husband and i wanted pinkies BBQ . We figured it would be more convenient rather than going all the way to the one on Tahoka hwy. Big mistake!!! Ribs tasted like they were boiled. Sliced brisket was shredded . Ham was diced into cubes . The sauce was good. Next time we will choose quality over convenient !
The food is phenomenal! But the customer service is lacking. I went though the drive thru and didn't receive my whole order. I went back, went inside and told them what I didn't get. They wanted to argue with me and make rude comments to each other about it. And this wasn't the first time it has happened to me. On the 4th of July, my son and I had gone to get bbq from Pinkie's, in the drive thru, and didn't get all of our order. I just couldn't believe that they argue with me and make snide comments about it. I won't be going back to this Pinkie's again. And I suggest that if you order ham, double check to make certian that they give it to you!
Gizzards were good but everything else was not the same! Sauce seemed watered down no flavor and brisket sandwich was soggy and meat was mushy! I didn't even finish it! 😕
Went and bought some gizzards and they were kinda dry and didn't have very much crust on them... their bbq sauce was very watery not thick the way it used to be... also had a bbq sandwich and was disappointed cause had a very thick slice of just fat and the crust of the brisket was real hard no even chewable...

The Food tasted like old BBQ sauce. I wanted chopped beef with no barbecue sauce. The lady was yelling at me telling me that they don't have barbecue sauce on their chopped beef it's only on the side. So is this just a bunch of grease on my plate then.
Asked for a moist sliced sandwich. I got one full of dry and old end pieces. They do not know how to slice brisket or make a large sandwich.. My wife's chopped sandwich was good.

We went and ordered gizzards.n livers as well..disgusting...livers were like really small n burned like the recooked them i wanted fresh .n yes gizzards very chewy n hard
Cashier was rude, i was over charged, when i was looking at reciept she told me it was right to not worry, beef was over cooked and our gizzards were too hard to even chew, worst experience weve had, not going back for along while, we miss the original location
Went to pick up a pall of gizzards today they wasn't fresh they were chewy and bland no flavor in the crust probably the last time I go
People working are getting to be so RUDE! IF YOU DON'T WATCH THEM THEY WILL SERVE YOU ANYTHING. THEY NEVER SMILE, IN FACT THEY LOOK AND ACT LIKE THEY DONT LIKE THEIR JOBS.
Bought a slice brisket sandwich and so much fat could not eat it you suck.
Horrible service tried to order a try of liver because they were on sale today and all they said said was sorry no we dont. All you got to do is make more. I find this unacceptable
I’ve been eating here since I was a kid and I am so disappointed in the quality of the food now. The sliced brisket was so tough to chew and the flavor of the meat is not like it used to be. I definitely don’t recommend their food anymore. 😔
Horrible Price's are outrageous. Sides are extremely small. Bbq sandwich tasted old and burnt. Staff dissappeared for 15 minutes. Served old burnt okra. Ordered another side and it took them that 15 minutes they werent around to make it.. HORRIBLE... I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION TO ANYONE.
Today marks the third time that we come to this place and almost everything we order its "We're out of that!" Oh my gosh! I am so done with this place. Your service is horrible! Thank God Chicken Express is just up the street. Literally every time we come to this Pinkies we end up at Chicken Express. Your management really needs to work on this, 3 times in a row is a bit much.
Manager on duty Sunday May 8, 2022, Ty Scott sat back and let his 18yr employee handle a situation that clearly warranted a manger. I go to Pinkies for the memories the food holds for me and my family. I was in Lbk for the holiday wknd and yeah stopping there for gizzards was a terrible idea. I’m from Lbk and know what the name Pinkies represents for Lubbockites, this manager clearly doesn’t represent the company to its standards.
Not like it use to be and there service was horrible i heard an employee curse a customer not very professional I won't ever go back
I ordered a large sandwich for 7.99 and ended up paying over 11 dollars just for extra sauce. That's all I got a sandwich and sauce 12 bucks. . Nice...
The man serving was rude , he just threw my sandwich at the bagger , hateful attitude
Hated the sliced brisket, what I received in my take out sack was a mess of tough chunks of some type of meat consisting of spare pieces from somewhere, there was only one small chunk that even had a knife mark on it, this was the second time I have tried this 4th street location, and only because I was shown the sliced brisket from another location at a luncheon, it looked just like a stack of SLICED....!! brisket should, since my parents owened a BBQ Resturant until their passing I do know what it should look like!! I will not go back after 2 expensive tries and 2 disappointe d events these people need to correct their store, hard to believe this stuff was BBQ when even the smell is off.
The older shorter lady with the ponytail did not wear any gloves whatsoever. She wiped sweat from the beginning of her hairline and her nose. The second lady only has on one glove. Most importantly, they are both dealing with people’s food. Ridiculous.
Ordered a pail of gizzards they were old not much batter on them and the brisket very dry and no flavor...WASTE OF MONEY.....WILL NOT RETURN
Power turned off Ordered 3 chopped beef And they were little 7$ each for that Definitely not a good choice here Not worth the money
They've gone down hill. Meats tough, sides are tiny, buns soggy, burnt okra, and hardly any chicken in the chicken strips. Not worth what we paid. Drinks were decent.
We and got a chopped brisket sandwich meal ;(#2) burned dry just horable...greasy and small Mac n cheese side. Place needs to just close food is 🤢 gross I don't recommend
Went to at 4704 4th street. We sat right in front of counter controlled by kid's. Our food was place on counter never called out number few families waiting. Two different familes complained prior to my order about gizzard being cold. The gentleman behind counter are rude. Disrespectful. No professionalism at all. I won't be returning.
Brisket sandwich was cold. Taste like it been there for a couple days barbecue sauce is not the same very disappointed will not be going back ever see for yourself, but don’t waste your appetite on something that’s not fresh and it’s cold.
I'm done with Pinky's BBQ they used to have such great barbecue and service. I dropped by there last week ordered some brisket sandwich combo and a large drink. Originally asked for sweet tea and they told me they were out of sweet tea I should have gotten some potato salad with my combo it was not in the bag. I called next day to complain to Tye the general manager left my number to see if I can get reimbursed for half of my meal and did not receive a call from him or any of the management team.
This pinky’s was horrible. My parents where getting pinkies today, when they got there meal there sauce was an orange color( it’s supposed to be red),there sauce was also watered down and didn’t have the same taste. They said there gizzards tasted like rubber and was hard to chew. When we called to make a complaint we got the worst costumer service, instead of having manner and being polite she was rude, interrupting, and was all above just no manners. This is the worst pinkies my parents have been to my dad has been going there for 30 years and it has not been this horrible. This pinkies is horrible.
Got one large broken up piece of brisket on my sandwich. Sad. My son unfortunatley ate his before I realized what was going on. So no refund for his. We took it to the manager and they said it was the way it was supposed to be, a literal rip off. I had gotten one previously that was so good and a fair amount of meet. But this time around they were perfectly content with losing our business for good. Tired of companies who rip people off with under par products and don't care about the customers.
We drive up to get our order and the lady that gave us our order was very rude and rolled her eyes at us. Also the sandwiches were very sloppy, the sauce very watery, and the gizzard had no taste to them. Definitely not going back. I don’t mind going to the original pinkies. It was the thick Mexican/black girl.
My friend and I was there I placed and paid for my order 30.00 worth, my friend placed the order the lady that did the cutting of the my order did two then went to make my friend when questioned her to make plate she stayed I am making all four I asked her why she couldn't finish my order she got upset because I inform her that she was giving my ribs to my friend she got frustrated. This lady Rochelle I know because she work with my sisters the other store. Very bad customer serve given. I got home and the ribs were raw. I never have gotten bad food or bad customer service from you guys ever. I don't think I will be visiting this location again.
I purchased a large sliced bbq. Brisket combo. Half the sandwich was fat the othe half gristle. Worst meal ever. I called to tell them and they put me on hold till I hung up.
Bought 3 lbs. of meat. Ham was cold but lady said she gave me extra. Offered to microwave it to heat the ham. Asked about the chopped beef qtr. pound I ordered and they said it was in the bag. Got home and there was no chopped beef. Had to ask for more sauce as they only gave me 2 of the smallest containers. I should have read the reviews before going there. Very disappointing.
Been wanting a chop brisket sandwich so we wanted to give them another try. 😵 not very happy with them again... Missing the original pinkies. We didnt even get what we ordered😕 not gonna drive that way again for a BBQ sandwich!
We ordered the chicken livers with sides and drinks. They forgot to give us the sides and when we reminded them the lady was indifferent. We got home and opened everything to find the chicken livers were extremely dried out to the point you could not chew them and the sides were not edible. Everything had to be thrown out. It was the worse experience we've ever had it any place in Lubbock! If I could give less than on star I would do so in a heartbeat.
The food was not good the hot links are fake hot links the brisket was okay the potatoe salad and Mac&cheese needs seasoning only thing good was the gizzards and bbq sauce
They acted like we were unwelcome when we arrived. Drive through only and our large order of liverswas not large . There were 6 pieces of livers and they were dried up and cold !!! Contacted them via facebook..and they were still not even cordial .
I order a chopped beef sandwich and my husband order the sliced brisket , the meat was dry and chili potatoes wedges, not so great. Chopped beef was dry, umm not sure if it's the sauce or the meat but could only eat like 2 bite of the sandwich, the potatoes wedges, the ground meat on it was bad... the food didn't taste fresh.
I went in today 5/15/25 . Ordered 56 dollars worth of food to take home . I asked the young man if there was any small packs of salt . I did not hear a reply. So I asked him again. He replied by saying in a very condescending way. " I told you we don't have any "!. I immediately got very upset, and I told him . You do not talk to me in that manner ! I am a 60 year old man you have some respect! Do you talk to your parents or grand parents in that condescending tone ? He said no I don't and added a sir behind it . Yet he lets me walk off with my food, and does not bring to my attention he placed an empty gallon jug on the counter for the tea I had purchased . I drove away, and when I drive back he is there waiting on me, and points to the empty jug ? I took a picture of him to add to this review, but at that time a short man in late to 30 or early '40s steps in, and said you can not take a picture of my employees, if you have a problem you can ask for me he tells me . I said who are you, and replies I'm the manager . I said really you heard the way he spoke to me, you heard what I told him you know he deliberately let me walk out without the tea, you are very much aware of what took place just now, and only when you realize I'm going to write a review that I will make the only know what is taking place in here does it matter to you . Why didn't you correct the problem when you heard it ? I was not aware. Yes you where you were standing in the front counter. You can talk to me if you have a problem. I told him you have no shame . You playing dumb you know the attitudes in this place . I have almost 3 millions views on my google account sir you should take that into account .
I called first to ask if they had sausage wraps. Lady on the phone said yes. Went over to order and I asked once more in the front counter if they had sausage wraps. She said yes. So I said let me get one of those and my father ordered a gizzard combo. Cool. 3 minutes later we get 2 gizzards combos. Uhhh… where’s my sausage wrap??? She didn’t charge or ring us up for it and instead rang us up for two gizzard combos. I had to order and pay again for sausage wrap when i should have gotten it in the first place. So much for customer satisfaction. And now that I’m sitting and eating my sausage wrap, I’m looking around and it’s filthy here.
Haven't had them in while so decided to stop for lunch. Very disappointed today. Sauce was watery, sandwich tasted bitter (like vinegar) and gizzards were cold. Needless to say, I didn't eat lunch today. Called the store to ask about the sauce & meat. Guy who answered said yup, "It is what it is today". No apologies and he was ok with selling subpar food. Guess it will be another few months before I try them again. There are plenty of BBQ places in town to choose from.
DISGUSTED! First time here at this restaraunt and had I known they served UNCOOKED food, I would of kept going. The cashier was sympathetic BUT excuse was they don't cook it here and that its brought from somewhere else. She say they have no way of knowing what they are serving. I took 2 bites not knowing meat was raw. I initially figured their food just wasn't as tender as I was used to but the 2nd bite with less sauce covering the rib exposed the raw meat. These pics are flattering because in person you can see the rawness clearly. I do not recommend. Rolling down my window and throwing a 20$ out would have been a better experience with same result. Waste of money.
Go there for lunch today as I’ve been wanting some BBQ got 1 large “LEAN” brisket sandwich and this is what I paid $12 for! NOTHING BUT FAT! 1st bite was a mouthful of FAT…. Gross

Went back there tonight to try them again, I grew up eating Pinkies BBQ back to the 70s as a child I loved going with family on beer runs just to get me some BBQ, it's always been great but the last 10 years it's hit and miss, but im done, my sliced brisket sandwich was terrible, that brisket was cooked in an oven not a smoker, there was no smoke ring and no bark and loaded with fat, I ordered trimmed no fat, and every bite was mostly fat 🤮. I always enjoyed there brisket sandwich going back to the 70s, im done no more chances

I took a picture of him to add to this review, but at that time a short man in late to 30 or early '40s steps in, and said you can not take a picture of my employees, if you have a problem you can ask for me he tells me . I said who are you, and replies I'm the manager . I said really you heard the way he spoke to me, you heard what I told him you know he deliberately let me walk out without the tea, you are very much aware of what took place just now, and only when you realize I'm going to write a review that I will make the only know what is taking place in here does it matter to you . Why didn't you correct the problem when you heard it ? I was not aware. Yes you where you were standing in the front counter. You can talk to me if you have a problem. I told him you have no shame . You playing dumb you know the attitudes in this place . I have almost 3 millions views on my google account sir you should take that into account .
