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!

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).

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.

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.

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.

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 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 .
