True Texas BBQ

Brisket and pulled pork were good. My first experience at a True Texas Barbecue by HEB. I ordered pickles, onions, and bread that were not in my order bags. I also didn't like the beans, but the potato salad was good.

So I've been a shopper of this HEB since 2019. I came in llooking for the noodles and Danielle came over asking if I needed help. She offered the turkey and brisket, which I've order it before and it was awful! Danielle said she made it so I ordered the turkey. It was the best turkey I've ever had!! I went back and ordered more turkey and some brisket from her. I highly recommend coming on days when she is the pit master!!! She knows what she is doing and this is what this true texas needs!

Put in order 3 days ahead of time… paid ahead of time… scheduled specific pick up time… didn’t even have my order at all. Told me 15 min to get it ready.. took over 40 minutes while I had melting ice cream and groceries into the car. Hot aluminum catered food trays… but ran out of boxes to protect me hands from the heat carrying it. They were more than happy to take my money but didn’t even have my order?? Late even in person?? And ran out of to go boxes?? Come on..

My last order was incorrect this order was on point Burnt ends portion was small but everything else was perfectly made,they have made some changes the manager (Alex) was more than helpful to make sure my order was correct for delivery, if it's late in the day u should call to make sure they are not out of popular items like brisket 👍👍

I pick up my daughter from school and we head right to the food court at this H-E-B location at 51st street, I was super hungry and bc we were about to go to the lake I didn’t want to waste time cooking so I decided to get a couple of sandwiches from the grill chz place and bbq, everything from the get go started bad. The tablets for self ordering weren’t reading my credit card so I had to tell them what my order was, no problem I decided to get bbq sandwich as well and the same problem with the tablet not working. So I gave the receipt to the ppl inside so they can start making my sandwich and he this Hispanic old man looked at me like I was asking for free food. I told him the tablet didn’t work and he proceeded to make my food, I ordered this sandwich called “la jefa” super loaded of meats. Very excited to try but every single ingredient was cold I took a couple of bites and I’m very sensitive when food isn’t cook right in regards to cooking temperatures. And I believe they don’t pay much attention to the temperature of the proteins bc as soon as I start munching on a couple of pieces of sausage and turkey my belly started to bubbling (btw, sausage smells bad) I had a headache so bad that I canceled my swimming day! Very disappointing on the food but the customer service is very bad as well.

Went straight after I picked up my kids from school. Orders the 2 meat plate. And also got creamed corn and ribs. Ribs was delicious and juicy. Everything was delicious.

Why would you send me a coupon that doesn't work at the only location I go to? If you are going to offer something, send it to the people that can use the coupon. I just made a special trip for NOTHING!? RIDICULOUS!? HEB USEF TO BE SO MUCH MORE...

The bbq is decent, especially at the price point. Great sides, and always love a cobbler when it's available. The service at the bar is outstanding - Marvin, Travis, Tori, Jordan and everyone else are so friendly and helpful. I think HEB really missed the mark by not adding a large garage door opening to the patio. The enclosed space gets really crowded and loud, and on good weather days it'd be nice to have the fresh air. I'm giving five stars overall because the service is a 6.

Sliced Turkey Breast Sandwich, it was surprisingly good! Good smoked flavor and cannot complain about the portion size. Great quick meal for a decent price. I would order it again hoping on consistency in quality and quantity. The service was great, very quick and courteous. The atmosphere was takeout style but they do have the option to dine in a nearby seating area.

Red River location recently opened; it has to improve. The first time purchased sandwiches-the buns were hard. 2nd time purchased chicken-bloody and hard meat. Will Third time be the charm, I don't know if I want to chance bad food.

This is essentially a tiny storefront inside the Mueller HEB alongside several restaurant concepts forming a miniature food court. There's an ordering counter with a couple tablets that only take credit cards which is terribly confusing and I suppose is meant to be a remote ordering system to minimize contact with employees. They say you can order online and at the other restaurant fronts on either side as well, and there seemed to be a system for paying cash at the bar in the next room, but there's certainly a learning curve if you haven't done this before. Once you do order successfully however there isn't too much delay picking it up and the food was actually quite good and more affordable than I'd expect. I got myself the chopped brisket sandwich that comes on a toasted bun and you can add BBQ sauce and pickles and onions in the app, all for $6.19. The meat was really excellent, tender and not fatty just like I like it, with a great flavor. It's not a huge portion but a decent size and there are plenty of options to super size it for $4 or choose one of the fancier $10ish sandwiches. I also got myself the blueberry cobbler since I'm a sucker for blueberries and limited time offerings, and that was quite nice too. It was more like pieces of pancake in blueberry pie filling, but it was hot and delicious and a good mix, all for about $3.29, I think. I might try some of their sides or more luxurious sandwiches next time if I'm not on a budget, but this worked well for a meal. I do recommend you only take your food to go, however. The food court only has seating in the bar next door, which is a cramped nightmare. There are about a dozen tables and maybe half the number of stools you need, so you'll likely be forced to stand up at some of the tall tables. Furthermore, this was crowded and chaotic on a Tuesday evening when it shouldn't have been, and I can only imagine how wild it is at peak times. There is some covered outdoor seating too, but this is a bad idea in summer for obvious reasons. So yes, this is a great place for walk-up to-go BBQ and I would enjoy trying it again. I hope to visit another HEB with a roomier version than Mueller and I believe one further south even has a drive-through, but this will do in a pinch.

The food is amazing. Like Astonishingly amazing. It came fast, cheap, and the whole family enjoyed. Even a picky member of my family loved it here. 5 stars

They made 4 mistakes manger told me he will credit me which I was totally ok with. I went for a simple extra lean brisket sandwich when I got home there was no bun on top. Which made it its 5th mistakes. Tho the manger Amber was kind enough to give me a gift card .

I truly love True Texas BBQ! The prices are always affordable and they don't ever disappoint! I was in the area and stumbled across this location. Inside the HEB they have many different eateries to choose from. It's not like the other locations. I was craving the brisket sandwich and the baked potato with butter and cheese. Everything was fresh and hot! Super delicious and always lives up the hype!

I am gluten and dairy-intolerant. I was hesitant to eat here because their menu lists their brisket low gluten. I talked to their staff and she was beyond helpful explaining to me that the brisket may come in contain with gluten but it is not made directly with gluten. We also discussed my dairy issues to include the BBQ sauces. She told me the sauces are gluten-free but she was not sure about dairy. However, she said that the BBQ sauces if they had dairy products they would need to be in the fridge which they were not. I took a GI distress chance to eat here and I am glad I did. The brisket was solid. You could add pickles, onion, BBQ sauces, and slices of white bread to your order. My husband and I split a 1/2 pound of the fatty brisket. It was well worth the $10 we spent. Be sure to eat in the Main Street H-E-B area so you can grab a drink and people watch.

Honestly one of my favorite BBQ places in Austin. The service is fast and the meats are excellent. Want a different kind of sauce? They have a whole grocery store right there. This is a best kept secret. The pitmasters were trained by pros and their work shows. Skip the lines and head here.

Hard to believe this was in a grocery store. Meat was incredible and the sauces were as well

Its nice having a BBQ joint only a few steps away when your at work...the ordering system is a breeze....and I was glad to see we can order Q by the plate...I went with 3 meats....Fatty Brisket, Sausage and Ribs....there is an upcharge for the ribs....They were a bit on the tough side of things, great flavor and smoke ring. Brisket was great, along with the sausage...Love the spicy BBQ sauce (They have a sweet as well)....Sides were Mac and Cheese and Brisket Beans....both of them killer good.

Food is good but I've ordered 3 times from them for delivery and every single time something is missing from my order. Will not try it again

Just look at the photo, enough said. This was at 5pm- old meat , dry potato very little toppings - just sad.. broke my heart HEB, broke my heart

We have enjoyed this BBQ place since the first day it opened! We are not a fan of the ordering kiosk, and at times we have not been impressed with the service- but we do like the BBQ. It stands up well to other offerings in the area.

I never expected grocery store brisket to be so good but was I wrong. TTB brisket is the best I've tried. That's how I judge a BBQ joint. I am a native Texan and am not amused with "frilly" sauces or styles of BBQ from Kansas, the Carolinas or some touristy hot spots where the food isn't suitable for a lick. The TTB rub is black pepper heavy and the crust is thick. The smoke ring is deep and even the "lean" cuts are tender and delicious. Good brisket doesn't need sauce but I use Rudy's sauce when I want it. The chicken and side orders are ok but much prefer County Line potato salad, coleslaw and beans. I was raised on Kiolbassa brand sausage and the homemade Polish wedding sausage served at church picnics all over south texas therefore I do not care for TTB sausage either. My only complaint is you can't order online ahead for pickup and they don't open until 11am.

This place has decent bbq. I ordered the chopped brisket sandwich and it was good. Only issue was it had very less sauce and pickles. Order though came fast and people working are good too.

Food was not good at all do not recommend. Chips and queso were too salty brisket sandwich was too dry specially the bread.

The turkey sandwich is excellent. A large has about 5 thick slices of tender meat, bbq sauce, pickles and onions on a round bun and it is delicious. Heavenly. I'm from Los Angeles and bbq restaurants don't do turkey this way here. Try it with mac 'n cheese or creamed corn.

I'm so sad to be writing this... the food is always delicious but tonight I ordered the 3 meat platter and got all of it brisket, this is a $20 meal, and I get home only to see 5 little wimpy pieces of meat :( so disappointed, HEB usually does way better than this.

Came here (inside H‑E‑B) because my other bbq place had too long of a line and it was decent! I liked the brisket (I wish they had pork) and the bread that comes with it is a nice touch. The brisket beans were yummy but the coleslaw wasn't great. I will definitely come back for the meat because it was good and it's conveniently in H-E-B.

This is my second time to try true Texas BBQ location inside and HEB. I had the smoked turkey and the brisket beans. Both were excellent. Joseph gave me a generous portion of the slices of turkey. I like the barbecue sauce it's thick and has a little heat to it.

Super impressed with HEBs BBQ! Tried the brisket sandwich for the first time today and it was awesome! Sauce was great too, really peppery (similar to Rudy's). And the bread was legit...no boring white bread slices. I live in the hood and can't believe I waited this long to try it!
