    Worst hotpot experience I've had in San Antonio. Fish smelled expired, selection wasn't great. Price for lunch vs dinner hinges on two meat options, neither of which was available, yet they still charged dinner price. My shadow will never darken this restaurants door again. Service was ok, inside looks nice.

    Great food, they were unfortunately out of the things we initially tried to order but otherwise had backup options. My husband got the bbq but wasn't a fan of the miso fish. I had the jpot with brisket and was thrilled. Kids under 7 eat free for a limited time so kiddo just kind of picked off us. Our server Nichole was very sweet and helpful with explaining everything. The restaurant itself is very nice too. Only thing I wish I would've gotten is more options at the veggie bar but there was still a good selection.

    I really believe this is the best BBQ place around, we drove all the way from Cibolo to visit some friends and this is the place they suggested. Very vast menu. Strawberry lemonade was so good and kids eat free under 7. Also open flame and that's neat as well.

    "There was fire. There were meats. There was a woman watching me pretend I knew what I was doing." If you'd told the me 20 years ago that I'd be paying top dollar to cook my own dinner over open flame and dunk raw meat into a pot of spicy lava water, I would've laughed so hard I'd spill my pint. But here we are--glorious Sunday, 2025--and I'm fully locked in to the JPOT lifestyle. Walked in with zero clue and a hot date, which meant I had to look like a seasoned grill master slash broth wizard. Easier said than done, mate. I had a raw filet mignon searing while ramen boiled beside it, and I'm trying to pretend that juggling all of this is just my average Sunday. There were sauces I couldn't pronounce, a bar of mystery greens, and tongs being passed like sacred artifacts. And you know what? I left full. I left entertained. I left proud. JPOT isn't just dinner--it's an event. A bit chaotic, a bit primal, a bit like if a hibachi grill and a sauna had a delicious baby. Would I go back? Yeah. I'd bring gloves, an appetite, and maybe a laminated cheat sheet. But I'm game. 5 stars. Would hot pot again.

    First timers here!!!! Adjusting from a similar place, it exceeded my expectations! Default grill is the one with holes, but if you want the flat ones - ASK! The portions are in abundance! You won't leave hungry! I love the options at the ready cooked food at the Buffett! They had fried rice, pot stickers, shrimp tempura, wings, fruit, and desserts! Our server Hussein was awesome! He wore two hats - bartender and server! Very attentive AND informative! Ambiance is IG worthy! I like the coziness and private tables! Biggest plus - I love close by! Definitely coming back!

    We came here about 2 weeks ago and had a good experience. Waiters were very informative since it was our first time dining in, they went through the whole menu & how everything works. They give you A LOT OF FOOD if you choose the grill, so be mindful of that. Go in with an appetite & be ready to chow down. Food: 9/10 fried rice was okay lol

    Food: delicious, quality is superb. Flavor is good, loved the marinated chicken thighs. Meat was tender. Service: Gabriel was helpful from start to finish. Explained to my husband how everything worked. Recommended sauces to try, and even made a yummy passion fruit mojito (made with sake) so delicious. Ambiance: perfect for groups and date night. It gorgeous on the inside. The mural when you first walk in is beautiful.

    Overall, the experience was really fun. They have the Jpot AND BBQ option however you cannot do both if you are with multiple people. I would like for them to redesign the tables because there was no legroom for us. Besides that they give great portions and have a lot of options when it comes to the seasonings and sauces. They also have a lot of appetizers and some dessert options. I loved the music they played, and everyone was very welcoming. They have all types of meats as well with different starches. I mostly ate seafood. Lastly, the restroom was really clean. The only reason why I didn't give them five stars is due to the price, not reflecting the quality. I feel like they could do a better job of maintaining the salad/sauces/appetizer bar area.

    We were charged premium holiday pricing, yet arrived to find an empty vegetable bar, no kimchi, and no sliced chicken available. This was especially disappointing given that multiple prior reviews mention frequent item shortages at this location. I chose to stay and give the restaurant a chance after expressing my dissatisfaction, but unfortunately the experience only declined from there. I left feeling lethargic (due to poor food quality- veggies with black spots, meat not marinated etc.), uncomfortable, and frustrated that I had paid such a high price for such poor quality and service. The guests I brought with me also commented that the meat we grilled lacked any seasoning or marinade and required additional salt to be palatable. Overall, the experience was embarrassing. I have visited several Jpot and kpot experiences, and this was by far the worst experience. Many in our party ended up filling up on fried sides, oranges, and pre packed desserts due to the lack of quality options. We will not be returning.

The employees were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Great customer service like that really makes a difference. The food was absolutely delicious. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was a 10/10--full of flavor with a nice spicy kick that wasn't overwhelming. The regular sausage was also a 10/10 and just as impressive. The brisket was juicy, tender, and loaded with flavor in every bite. For sides, we tried the macaroni and cheese with bacon, and it was phenomenal. Rich, creamy, and easily one of the best sides I've had. The jalapeño rice was something I've never had before, and it was surprisingly unique and incredibly good. Overall, Pinkerton's Barbecue delivered amazing food and exceptional service. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great barbecue.

The coleslaw was meh 2/10 - none of my friends liked it either. The potato salad and Texas beans were fantastic, but the bananas foster pudding was also disappointing.

You can pick up your meal and eat at one of the many available picnic tables! We were envious of the people who walked right in and got their food!

Checked Yelp for dinner suggestions so Doc drove us to the paid lot next to where all the Cinderella lit up carriages drawn by horses were lined up. It seemed the boats going up and down the River portion of the Walk were busier. While we were walking I had my eyes open for a table with a view. We stopped at Four Brothers. The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread. As it was almost 9 pm we decided to pass on the boat ride but just walk on the other side with shops and more eateries. We're back on the road again tomorrow to Arizona.

Extremely accommodating and instructive as well. You can't hope for much more from a server in Restaurant than this activity. The food is really quite good. How are the drinks. Extremely dependable and the portions are generous and equally wonderful. There are many places to dine in San Antonio. However, this is an experience not to be missed and I mean that quite sincerely. Kudos for a very, very well run well situated and well managed enjoyable place to dine on the river walk in San Antonio.

Y'know it's impossible to find street parking especially on the weekends normally. I had made reservations to meet some friends here for brunch/lunch 1145 am on a Sunday. This place is bigger than it looks! There's seating at the main building, plus a huge outdoor patio seating area, and an entire other building beautifully decorated. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server was excellent. We were seated in the other building near the windows. The menu wasn't huge, but just right with a few lunch and brunch items. After debating for a while of what to order, I decided on the Texas Gulf Shrimp plate. Agua Fresca of the day per our server was strawberry pineapple. Our server was able to water mine down slightly- since it was very sweet, but love knowing that it was freshly made. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus, and we were able to order some spicy salsa to accompany at no charge. My shrimp plate was delicious! 2 skewers of nicely cooked and seasoned shrimp atop salsa with perfectly cooked cilantro rice and a fresh leaf salad. A half slices avocado accompanied my plate. Oh how I love avocados. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. The chicken al carbon was also a good choice - half a chicken that was juicy, not dry. The avocado toast was beautiful and the pecan salsa was quite interesting. The female performers during our brunch in the room, made it very hard for all of us to have conversations. The volume echoed loudly in the room, so it was very hard to speak and understand each other. Although a great idea, maybe outdoor patio area might be more suitable. Beautiful space, great service, good food.
