True Texas BBQ

Well I have eaten here a few times now and I feel like this time everything got micro sized. I paid $2 for a side of chilli and got a tiny plastic sample cup of it (see pic) why? They probably throw out 10 pounds of it each night. But somehow it is too much to ask to serve some in an actual cup? Also the regular pulled pork sandwhich is now child portioned. I guess you must now pay $11 for the large sandwhich in order to get a regular size? There is no one ever hardly in here. Rarely a soul in the drive thru. Texans are used to big. So if you go cheap on them its only a matter of time until the house of cards falls...I wish owners would understand that. :(

True Texas BBQ inside HEB should not be overlooked. They served up a really good fatty brisket, and the pulled pork was just as good. Love the sauce! Sides were as expected. There are two levels for dining, with tvs showing sports.

I don't know how this is the best kept secret in Georgetown. The BBQ is top notch. The dining area and the upstairs bar(in a HEB!) are immaculate. And the prices are almost too good to be true. Turns out, they have a good selection of brown water...

Shannon and Reagan are an absolute delight! Such a good experience with phenomenal drinks. Visiting Texas from Colorado, and one of my favorite places is HEB, always love being here and this made it even better! Will be back(;

POST UPDATE: just wanted to share how much my husband and I love this place. Food is good and bar service is always on point. Thank you Shannon for always taking care of us! Other highly notable bartenders: Chelsea, Kenzie, and Aaron! Been coming here weekly for the past 6 months. It’s low key and a great place to grab a cold beer. Environment is relaxed and bartender, Shannon, is welcoming and attentive! I “hear” folks like to order their groceries and grab a drink here while they wait … what a novel idea :)

Well, my first time at tge now famous HEB BBQ restaurant. Cool concept, but if you're going to do BBQ in Texas and you're HEB, you'd think it would be nicely prices and bordering on epic. Nope. See photo. That's a no-so-big in Texas chopped beef sandwich. They must have stolen the buns from McDonalds cheeseburgers. Flavor was pretty good, as was the spicy sauce. I got hot tea because their ice machine was broke. For the price, way too small. At Pokejo's I could get 3 times as much for the same price. So, everything is bigger in Texas except HEB's chopped beef sandwich. Good, but not impressive.

HEB BBQ is the best place to grab happy hour drinks! They are fairly priced, and have amazing daily specials. They talk about doing events, so cant wait to see what they have in store!

Whoever made my nachos tonight thank you the quality is always good it’s just the presentation I appreciate . You can tell when someone actually cares about how they put food together going out to a customer I appreciate it.

You can't beat being able to have some bbq before doing your grocery shopping and a cocktail is just the special treat

Food was very delicious and great. Chelsea our server was very friendly, happy, my boyfriend and myself enjoyed talking with her she made eating lunch fun, alive and enjoyable. The ambiance is clean and inviting.

seemed to be slipping again...we ate there a few days ago..actually got our order to go...the beans seemed to have changed...more like chili beans, but did have brisket pieces in them...ribs were great...fatty brisket had an awful lot of waste, grease pieces falling off of it

Dinging a start for the price - too high for a restaurant in a grocery store. That same star subtraction is about the availability - y'all, they run out of stuff way too often for being attached to a grocery store that receives daily trucks for restock. Like, oh, you're out of sausage? Get some next door. lol. Ok, I know that's not how that works, so I won't be too hard on them for that. Also, their ambiance kinda sucks. It's a grocery store. But I can't give less than 4 stars, because frankly the food is fantastic. Service isn't bad. Never had a complaint there.

Solid bbq option with a DRIVE THROUGH!!! The BBQ is all good. The beans and macaroni are great. Not a big fan of the greens. Potato salad is okay. Have not tried the slaw. Banana pudding is also great. They also have a dining room downstairs, a small dining room upstairs with a full bar, and a patio with tables on the second level.

I'm really surprised this place isn't getting the love! I've been here multiple times, and the only problem I had was fixed quickly. Originally you had to wait through the drive thru line if you wanted to pick up your app order. They now route you to the outside lane and run out your order. Way more efficient! Today I ordered a plain potato, 1/2 lb of lean brisket, and a Texas tornado. I like to get my potato plain so I can dress it myself at home. The potatoes are cooked well & easy to reheat if necessary. The lean brisket is my favorite, nice crust, smoke ring & juicy! This was my first time trying a Texas Tornado. It's a jalapeno stuffed with brisket, cream cheese & the outside is coated with bacon sausage. They cook the whole thing in the smoker & coat it with a cherry habanero sauce. Really good! I'm looking forward to trying some additional items!

Excellent BBQs but the prices are steep. Located in the H-E-B grocery store. The children portion is a good size if you are not up for a regular sandwich

Good BBQ! We've had the brisket, ribs, and loaded baked potato and the yummy brisket nachos and have not been disappointed.. it's not Franklins or Terry Blacks but it's pretty dang decent BBQ. The sides of Mac n cheese, potato salad are good and the Peach cobbler is a tad on the small side but really delicious. The brisket beans are really good! But hijole! I was estinky later in the night... The employees there are absolutely fantastic and because it's HEB , there's no where to leave a tip. The lines can be a little long especially inside since they only have one register. The car line can be long but very convenient. I don't think the price is bad especially since I've been to the high end BBQ places..$$$. We will definitely go back

An HEB owned BBQ restaurant that runs out of sliced brisket? And then, even though they have digital menus, can't update the menu to reflect that? Poor form. Not what I've come to expect from HEB.

This is the best bbq I've had in a long time. It's as good as any of the other Texas bbq restaurants I've been to, and is conveniently located inside my favorite H-E-B store. The restaurant is cute and clean, and pretty quiet. There's a full bar upstairs and patio seating if you're so inclined. The service is exceptional. While there, I witnessed about a dozen elderly with canes ordering, and when their orders were up Clara kindly and respectfully called them up and had their food carried to their tables for them. Good food, good service, good people. 10/10

Absolutely delicious. Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. My guess is it's small BBQ chains mad with the new competition and perhaps giving bogus reviews. I've ordered from here 4 times via Uber Eats and it has been phenomenal each time. So yummy. Highly recommend!!!

Great bbq but I think there sandwiches have gotten a bit smaller. Bidenomics I guess!! Right people. Get out and vote!! Sure don't want another 4 years of this stuff.

This is a solid spot for BBQ, AND they have a drive thru! The hubs and I have been eager to check out this place and we were finally able to dine-in on a Friday night. Whenever we visit a restaurant for the first time, we like trying as much of their menu as possible (to see just how legit the place is), so we each ordered the 3 meat platter. I ordered: burnt ends, pulled pork, ribs, collard greens (they were out, so I ordered potato salad instead), brisket beans and Serrano cornbread. My hubs ordered: turkey, sausage, lean brisket, mac n cheese and brisket beans. Of the meats, the turkey and the burnt ends were my favorites; the ribs and the lean brisket were a bit on the dry side-- we will order moist brisket next time. The cornbread was also a tad dry for my taste, but the rest of the sides were delicious. They have fountain drinks downstairs and a full bar upstairs (fyi- the restrooms are upstairs also). There is indoor and outdoor seating upstairs with fans and TVs outside, the space is big enough for large gatherings. Oh, and the customer service was great: fast and friendly! It's definitely a good BBQ option and chill spot to hang with family and friends for lunch, happy hour, or dinner. We'll be back!

Very good bbq, but not the best I've had. They have a great menu selection. The restaurant is two stories. The lower level is were you order and pick up your food, the upper level has a full bar. Both levels have a dinning area, and outdoor patio seating as well. Now mind you, this restaurant is attached to the new HEB they just opened up in Georgetown. It's the biggest HEB in Texas.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how good the bbq is here! Go early and get the meats nice and moist before the night ends... I do have to say that the service should do a better job at checking all orders for to-go or drive thru.. The first time I was missing my mac and cheese in my order. I called and they said they could put it in the book for the next time i come by. When I returned a different day to pick up, I ended up ordering more food, this next time around I ordered a banana pudding and I checked my bag and that was missing!! Before you leave here, make sure your entire order is complete...

H-E-B has officially opened its new Wolf Lakes Village H-E-B in Georgetown. The store, which is twice the size of the location it replaced, provides customers with an expanded product selection along with more services and features, including a two-story True Texas BBQ restaurant with full-service bar (yes, FULL SERVICE with vodka, rum, etc). The ordering process Let me start with this, the food and service (at the bar) is outstanding but the wait and process for ordering is abysmal. When I came to this location, I waited in line for more than 30 minutes to place an order and waited another 35 minutes to get the food. Yes, over an hour for food. There was one cashier and one expeditor for the inside customers and one person taking orders for the customers waiting outside in the two car lines. If there were more people who were customer facing (e.g., cashiers), this would not make a difference in wait times only because there aren't enough workers in the kitchen to make the food. The food The brisket nachos were outstanding. The nachos were topped with juicy brisket, cheese sauce, green onions, sour cream and fresh jalapenos. To the restaurant's credit, every location like this one in the H-E-B family uses all-natural Angus brisket that is either choice or prime grade. H-E-B sells the same raw briskets in the store. The white turkey meat had a rich smoky pepper flavor and was tender. This same sentiment can be used to describe the sausage. The TX Torepo left much to be desired. This meat is stuffed with cream cheese and brisket, then wrapped in ground sausage and slathered with raspberry-chipotle glaze. This item was hard/over done and difficult to consume. The sides ordered were greens and macaroni and cheese. The greens seemed as if they were canned and lacked the acidity that fresh greens have. The macaroni and cheese... no words for this, in the trash it went. The peach cobbler was sweet with hints of cinnamon and wasn't dried out as many desserts like this can be when they are made ahead of time. Bar service The bartenders I had were great (so much so that I tipped them $20 each for a bill that was a fraction of that). The spirits served here are local spirits only. So if one is looking for vodka, rum or tequila, etc not made in TX, well one should look elsewhere. The bartenders were friendly, courteous and a riot! The time spent waiting for my food was spent at the bar knocking back gin and tonics with a friend! If coming to this location, it is recommended that you be prepared to wait and while you do so, head up to the bar and have a drink or go shopping for your weekly/monthly groceries because it will be a while.

The new H‑E‑B building here in Georgetown is awesome. This BBQ place here is also really great looking inside. I wish however that the food was equally impressive. My potato salad was the best part of the meal. I really enjoyed that. Coleslaw tasted like most other coleslaws out there. The turkey had that desired pink smoke ring with was nice, it also had a good flavor, but it was really tough to chew. I really hopped it would have been more moist and tender. The service is friendly but slow. There were no one in line yet it still took quite a bit to get our food.

No pics because it was all eaten so quickly! We like the sweet bbq sauce. The fatty brisket is really good in Texas torpedo is a must try. It's a sausage stuffed with a jalapeño with cream cheese and brisket and a raspberry barbecue sauce. The macaroni and cheese is OK, the greens were good, queso was good, the barbecue beans are awesome wasn't what I was thinking it would be, but it's better. The barbecue beans are spicy. They have brisket in them and they're great! Peach cobbler was ok. The cold slaws was good. The brisket is awesome! Pickles & onions of course.

Yummy! Drive thru order. Pulled pork - order this! Chopped Brisket - order this Pork Ribs - get these too Delicious meats! Added spicy BBQ sauce provided. Cole slaw is good but a bit bland. It doesn't have onion. I added a few drops of spicy BBQ sauce. Mac and Cheese is very good too. More creamy than cheesy but very tasty. Dill pickle slices and onion pieces added per request. Price is about the same as most other BBQ places. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend

If I could rate this no stars, I would. This experience has made me realize that I will never be coming back nor visiting any other True Texas BBQ inside an HEB. After reading explanations this location has been opened for 11 days so I was excited to try some BBQ food. I DID NOT enjoy standing in a line for 35 minutes before my order got taken, specially when it seems like they are focusing on drive-thru and not the inside service (just do the drive thru anyone coming here). As I was standing in the slow moving line I observed many employees just standing around and only one person taking orders (good job Johnathan!) when two POS systems were there. Managers would come in and out of the back but never saw anyone stepping in to help deal with the massive rush that there was. Forks were not stocked and when another lady asked for a fork, she was told by an employee to use the spoons because that was where the forks were, even though only spoons were there. The place has only been open for an hour and they were already out of potato salad, collard greens and large sandwiches. Menu boards have no explanation of any speciality sandwiches. Got a couple little cups of extra BBQ sauce and sat down upstairs to wait for the meal. Door to the outside is broken and opens on its own only to SLAM closed after a few seconds later. BBQ sauce tastes bottled. It has been 30 minutes, ordered at 12:18, and still have not gotten our order yet. *EDIT* FINALLY got our food at 12:59. I had ordered the loaded baked potato with pulled pork. Pulled pork was okay and potato was cooked, nothing special about it. My better half got loaded mac & cheese with brisket, cornbread and a blueberry cobbler (because who doesn't like dessert). Mac and cheese has a layer of grease before you get down to the mac making it all super greasy. Cornbread was super dry, even with the mound of butter on it. Cobbler was cold, expected a warm gooey cobbler. So to sum up, not worth the wait and will never be coming back.

Got the 3 meat plate with supposedly 2 sides. If this is supposed to be up to par with any other true Texas BBQ joints this is sadly disappointing just judging from portion rations for adults that a child could finish in half a sitting for 40 dollars.

Had the 2 meat plate with beans and Cole slaw. Everything was fantastic and I'll be back again

I've ordered from uber eats twice from here. Both times were disasters. Orders were totally screwed up with missing items and unsafe cold food. This place needs a health inspection as soon as possible and I will forward that sentiment to the appropriate agencies.

Delicious delicious Texas BBQ!!! I'm so happy that H‑E‑B near my house finally opened this BBQ spot. The brisket is super tender and moist, even the lean one. I preferred the fatty sliced brisket because of the marble. What we've experienced is the fatty slices tend to have a big slab of fat in the middle in addition to the marble, and we had to cut off quite a lot of fat. If you'd like to order the fatty ones, ask the staff to put in the note that you'd like the brisket piece that doesn't have a big strip of fat in the middle. The brisket beans is also very tasty. It's a different than the brisket beans we've had at the Mueller location. This one tastes like they added tomatoes and pickled jalapeño, so it has a bit of a tangy taste to it. Pickles are fresh and crunchy without being super sour. BBQ sauce is peppery and has a nice balance of sweetness and tanginess was to it. Peach cobbler is also delicious and it's a nice treat to end the meal. There are also sweetened and unsweetened iced tea, sweetened mango tea, lemonade and strawberry lemonade. They really deliver a true Texas experience, just like the name!

The burnt ends, yum Yum! They were a little higher in price. The baked beans and the corn were so good.

On our first visit we were excited to try it out however we were not that impressed. We ordered our food to go and they forgot the bbq sauce and bread. We looked at the receipt and confirmed we did order these items and didn't realize they were missing until we got home. So we had our food without sauce and without bread. The burnt ends and mac and cheese side tasted pretty good. The lean brisket was ok but had a lot of fat on it. I was excited to try the Texas torpedo, however it was dried out and tough, very difficult to cut. The coleslaw was just OK nothing special. The peach cobbler dessert was tasty but they could do better with how it's packaged. It was literally smashed into a cup so the crust that makes the best part of a cobbler was soggy at all since it was all smashed together. Does not look at all like the picture on the menu. Again it was tasty but not what I was expecting.

I've eaten here 7 times, and it's consistently good. For a fast food BBQ restaurant, the quality is great. The Brisket, Brisket Beans, and Brisket Mac & Cheese are favorites.

We tried a brisket, turkey, specialty sandwich, and sausage sandwich. The sandwiches were good but not warm at all. Cold meat isn't good, especially for $50 total. We would give the food another try. I just hope it's nice and warm next time around.

Well if you want real smoked BBQ flavour.... maybe an alternative should be considered. I had the Tomahawk Pork chop and it was alright. My daughter said the same about the sausage and potato salad. Slightly bland. $60+ for 3 lbs of meat.

Took 40 minutes to get 3/4 Lb of brisket. Girl said would take 15. Very long wait. Will not go back.

Ordered ribs, sausage and sides on DoorDash. Completely satisfied my Texas BBQ craving. Delicious!!

Very good smoked turkey. Better than average brisket. I have eaten here twice and have been impressed. Their burnt ends are the bomb. Tonight I their brisket chili, which I am guessing is seasonal. A bit spicy, but awesome.

Got the two meat plate and it was delicious. Extra lean brisket is great and my kids loved their turkey. Potato salad wasn't the favorite but Mac and cheese was good.

Come on guys..I order two bbq sandwiches trying to give you guys a shot and there was barely two spoonfuls of meat on these little bitty ass sandwiches..Is this a kids meal..smh. I won't do it again.

Brisket was delicious. We enjoyed trying the cherry and Peach cobbler also. Would not order the bakes potato again since it was extremely dry.

We attempted to order ahead in the app for the second time and it doesn't work so had to order in the drive through. We just wanted to save time because we have two toddlers with a cold and wanted to pick up dinner right after picking up the groceries. The loaded baked potato was far from loaded and the chopped brisket was chopped was more of a pulled brisket and was VERY salty. The potato was cold like it was cooked in the afternoon with the way the consistency of the potato was! The loaded nachos were VERY stale chips and also same meat so again salty and the queso was salty. We also ordered two kids plates and had to do both chopped brisket since they were out of pulled pork. The brisket had to be cut up smaller since it wasn't actually chopped brisket. The kids weren't big fans of it they ate some of it but it was too salty for the as well. We enjoyed the apple and peach cobbler and once we go back to pick up the banana pudding they forgot we'll let y'all know how that tastes. So, not sure if we're going to get any meat from there again maybe just cobbler but it's a small portion in my opinion for $3.30.

On Nov. 1 my wife and I decided to take out BBQ from the Texas True BBQ location at the new HEB on University at I-35 in Georgetown . To say it was a disappointment is a complete understatement. The Brisket, fatty, was dry and not fatty at all, the ribs were dry and tough, the link was small and so dry it could hardly be cut, the Cole slaw, potato salad and cobblers were awful.. All this was over priced and by inedible. Into the trash it went. I will be asking HEB for a refund and telling them how this doesn't fit with their high quality brand.

I couldn't wait to let the new wear off and try this place when there wasn't a 50 minute wait. Since I was shopping for the week and there wasn't a line, I decided to pick up dinner for my husband since he loves brisket. First problem, the menu backdrop is RED. Most people know that's the hardest color to read anything in... I asked if they had a handheld menu because I couldn't see half the menu standing right in front of it (20/15 vision with my glasses on, was just tested two days prior). She handed me one and I asked what a torpedo was, she explained it and said there's a $2.75 up charge, sounds good, but not worth the extra $2.75 on a 2 meat plate. I ordered a 2 meat plate, with brisket (fatty) and burnt ends. There was a coupon there for a free cobbler, sweet, I love when stuff like that happens! I got a soda while I waited and the area by the soda fountain smelled like vomit. Gross, ok, let me go sit down and look at the receipt, hmm, there's a $2.75 up charge for burnt ends... that's annoying since she didn't tell me about it, but oh well. I get my food, do my shopping and head home only to find out the pathetic portion size of the burnt ends I was charged extra for was a joke! I called and they put me on the phone with a manager, she had a horrible attitude and her snarky response was "I'll make sure I coach my team more", no apology or even an attempt to make things right. Just attitude and "the portion size is written on the menu" well, not the one I was able to read! I'm pretty sure I also did not receive the actual portion size, but I'll never know since I don't have a food scale. Now for the taste, my husband said the brisket was good, the peach cobbler was really good, the burnt ends didn't have any flavor and were horrible, potato salad was good and the Cole slaw was bland, the bbq sauce is 100% meh, squeeze bottle bbq sauce. Had the mediocre bbq been the worst part of this, I would have given them another chance after the growing pains of a new restaurant fizzled, after the convo I had with the manager on duty, NEVER AGAIN. I paid 18.74 before tax for a crummy plate of bbq. Someone in the comment compared them to Smokey Moe's, not even, Smokey Moe's is way better!

As someone who was excited to finally try this, my experience was disappointing. I ordered two sandwiches, the natural pulled pork sandwich and the sausage sandwhich. What I got was onions and pickles in a bag with meat in a container and two pieces of regular sandwich bread for TWO sandwiches . Not at all as displayed on the menu. Pics of what I ordered and what I received.

So the place looked comfortable it felt cozy and busy. The service was a little blah the guy who took my order seamed like I don't care what you want I don't like it here feels, but maybe he's just having a bad day. Now the food I got a 2 meat plate with 2 sides. I chose brisket with fat because well I'm unhealthy lol sausage and for sides Mac and cheese and corn bread. Ok 1 the Mac was actually good I think that was the best part of my meal. The sausage was basic nothing amazing and cold, the brisket was not seasoned well either and cold too. Now the worst part the corn bread, now I love corn bread but this shot here was trash. I think they seasoned it with that shitty ass taco seasoning they sell to make pretend Mexican food. Then the baked potato my wife got was basic as well she got all the toppings on it and it still tasted plain. The only reason they get 2 stars is because the Mac and thankfully they had Coca Cola but that's it. For a little over $40 for 2 people trash. Oh and that Texas torpedo also blah no taste.

Can't even rate the food because the service was so slow I waited 20 MINUTES WITH only 5 people infront of me to order QUESO. If you're a new restaurant you need to be staffed for it. Ridiculous.

My girlfriend and I both got HEB True Texas BBQ after shopping at HEB on Monday. We both contracted food poisoning from it. We both ordered the regular lean brisket plate (since they didn't have chopped). We both ordered the Mac & Cheese as sides and she got the potato salad, and I got the Serrano corn bread. (The potato salad wasn't eaten at all) I had been hospitalized on Tuesday (31OCT23) for food poisoning. I had constant diarrhea, profuse vomiting, body aches, and sharp abdominal pain from 3am onward. I was admitted to the hospital at 1200 on the 31st. When I called them to inform them, the manager told me "what do you want us to do"? And was completely unapologetic. Food poisoning is no joke. Stay away from here.

Got there around 8pm knowing they close at 9 so it wasn't super business. But after placing order it took 37 minutes to receive our food. Brisket was okay, not a lot of flavor but was tender. Sausage was tasteless and not good. There sauce they put on the pulled pork also had bad flavor so it messed that up. The cornbread and queso were actually quite good. But between the wait and the lack of flavor on the bbq, I wouldn't recommend.

Ive been here a few times and meat is always good. Love how meaty the ribs are and brisket is always on point.

Food was great! Kathryn was phenomenal, her service was amazing! Will definitely be returning

I completely understand that this location is new, but the wait times and ridiculous. Food is good but if this is considered "fast food", then they really need to figure it out and get the food out quicker.

I placed an order--and paid in full for it--3 days before picking it up, because it was a large, expensive meat order. When I sent someone to pick it up, they fortunately had the receipt with them, because NO ONE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ORDER, NO ONE HAD THE ORDER, NO ONE HAD THE MEAT READY. Now, would you order from this poorly managed place again? I think NOT! Too many other decent and competent BBQ places in Georgetown to bother with this place. This place is the poster child for profound incompetence.

Not the best bbq and it is overpriced i would come on occasion but not all the time (portillos is better in my opinion)

We've tried this place twice now. And twice we've had to wait in the drive through line for 35 minutes! We ordered our food and there were only 4 cars ahead of us. It took 10 minutes for each car to collect their food??? This is ridiculous. By the time we got the food home it was cold. We tossed most of it and swear we'll never go back. But then, what do you expect from a store that has massive curb side carts in their stores banging into customers all day long? I can't believe that H‑E‑B corporate can't figure out the logistics of this! It's not rocket science! No thanks. I'll shop at Randall's!
