They do have outdoor seating and a tiny personal parking lot. Felt like your typical outdoor BBQ place in TX. We got the pop sandwich and KC Brisket. The Pop sandwich has turkey and flavored with their own bbq sauce which I thought was unique. My wife loved the brisket sandwich. It was tender and smoky just the way a good brisket should be.

When downtown SA I will definitely stop in again. My only two wishes would be location and price. It is a little pricey but I would say the flavor and service make up for that deficit. If you love the Fiesta brand spices they have every one known to man.

The owner was super nice and extremely knowledgeable. With their help I was able to get exactly what I needed. They have very healthy animals and process them humanely as they are a Halal establishment. I later learned that due to the Halal approach, the meat is organic and antibiotic free which is really important for quality flavor. Overall this is a really quality business. If you are in San Antonio and need meat, consider E&A as they are an awesome family run local business! Without a doubt this is a five star business! I plan on buying from them in the future.

First, the prices changed drastically, and ever since then, the quality has been consistently below par. We spend quite a bit here, but it has become a regular disappointment. If it happened once in a while, I could understand, but it's every single time. Out of a bag, we regularly end up losing 3 to 4 coconuts. The last time was the worst, 8 out of 12 were bad. What's the point of buying them if the quality keeps going down? Really disappointing experience from a place I once trusted.

If you need to order a larger quantity, you have to order ahead. Today, they closed early for a meeting, so we missed out. Limited parking, but it's like an in and out deal.

I had been purchasing their Polish sausage in H-E-B and Costco. Then they came out with their…read morebacon. I found that at H-E-B, but they were always out of stock. Then, when I was in a local Sam's, I found them doing sampling. The guy doing the sampling told me I could always buy direct from the company and told me where it was located inSan Antonio. I bookmarked this place and decided to try it out the next time I was in town. It's not easy to find, but it sure is worth the effort. The folks working there are so nice. They explained everything and walked me to the cooler. I was so excited that I bought the Polish sausage, pepper bacon, and some breakfast sausage. So how was their product? The pepper bacon is so good that you will know you have never really had bacon before! The Polish sausage is the best I've ever had. The only disappointment was the breakfast sausage, and I just didn't really like it. Will I return? As soon as I finish my order:-)

It came with a light, fluffy biscuit smothered in rich sausage gravy, two eggs, fresh fruit, and two pioneer-style flour pancakes that were soft, buttery, and just the right size to finish the meal without feeling overstuffed. What I appreciate most is the consistency. It's one thing to have a great meal once, it's another to keep the quality high. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in every plate. If you're looking for a breakfast spot that feels like home and delivers every time, The Gunther House remains one of the best around. I'll definitely be back for that special again.

The biscuits and pancakes are the only reason I didn't give 2 stars, and I wasn't even a big fan of the biscuit.. needed more gravy.

As a local, this is one of my go-to places for taking out-of-town guests. The brisket is my favorite, with the pulled pork coming in a close second. All the sides are great, but do not skip the mac and cheese. It's easily one of the creamiest mac and cheese sides I've ever had. Honestly, everything is good, so get a little bit of everything, add a sweet tea, and you will not be disappointed. The atmosphere makes the experience even better. Pinkerton's is inside a beautifully restored historic house, and the entire place has that relaxed, old-Texas charm. Great barbecue, great setting, and absolutely worth the visit.

We ordered take out and enjoyed awesome BBQ from Pinkerton at our hotel room. Why Pinkerton? We check reviews and asked locals, it was a great choice. We ordered ribs (dry rub + wet), sliced and chopped brisket, plus the fixing - the meat was truly outstanding - moist, tender, and the meat, not the rub or sauce was emphasized. The only downside to takeout? The beef ribs, which I called "Flintstone ribs" are only available on site...so it I will have to dine in the restaurant the next time I'm in San Antonio. And based on the line which was forming before it opened, it's a popular place for a reason. Texas BBQ + Shiner Boke, it's a combination which cannot be beat, check it out. I definitely will when I visit San Antonio again so I can try the beef ribs BBQ and re-assess my review.
