This place wasn’t bad I had the brisket sandwich and the brisket chilli. I must say the chilli was meaty and spicy. It was good! I also enjoyed the banana pudding. Tasty.

I am very happy with the BBQ here. This restaurant is in the new H.E.B. on Congress. I have tried the brisket (lean and burnt ends), jalapeño cheese sausage, turkey, and ribs. Everything was very tasty. Sides I have tried are the coleslaw, mac & cheese, baked beans, and cornbread. Desserts have included peach cobbler and banana pudding. It is quite convenient to grab lunch here and then knock off some grocery shopping upstairs. One of my favorite new BBQ spots in ATX. I thought the pricing was very reasonable compared to other BBQ places in town.

I ordered a 2 meat plate for myself (the plate in the picture). I also got a 1 meat plate. I received this. I got a mix of fatty and lean brisket and I can’t really understand how someone would look at this and think oh yeah that looks right. The 1 meat plate I received had more meat on it than the 2 meat plate. I would’ve just gotten the 1 meat plate and saved myself $7. I’m not the biggest fan of bbq to begin with and this just made me never want to eat it again. I didn’t even finish the sides. The coleslaw was much better than the potato salad though.

True Texas BBQ at HEB is a great spot for a quick, budget-friendly BBQ fix. I had the brisket sandwich, which came with sliced sausage—solid portion and good flavor for the price. The place is clean, and the service is friendly, making for an easy and satisfying meal. Definitely a spot I’d return to when craving BBQ without spending a fortune.

Darin brought our food and was awesome! He was very friendly and enthusiastic. We ordered the burnt end sandwich, and it was fresh, flavorful and a large portion. Tables were clean with plenty of space to spread out. Will be back for sure.

The BBQ is solid and affordable. The customer service is incredible. Big shout out to Darren and Alysa for taking care of us. H-E-B is truly different in the best way!

I recently took my fiancé to the True Texas Barbecue location on S. Congress near Slaughter, excited to try the Tuesday Special. Unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired.
While the presentation of the meal was impressive, the quality quickly fell apart once we began eating. We ordered the loaded brisket nachos—an item we were genuinely excited to try—but were met with a major letdown. The tostada chips were extremely stale, making them difficult to chew and enjoy. On top of that, there was a noticeably inadequate amount of cheese, which left the dish dry and lacking the richness you’d expect from loaded nachos.
It’s clear that H-E-B knows barbecue, but when it comes to nachos, the foundation starts with fresh chips and a generous amount of cheese—both of which were missing here.
Had those key elements been done right, I would’ve gladly given this location five stars. I hope this feedback helps improve the consistency and quality of your dishes moving forward. Maybe I’ll give it another shot down the line, but next time I’ll think twice before rolling the dice on the nachos.

Beautiful place! Visiting from Miami and wanted some BBQ and the food was absolutely delicious. Alyssa was so helpful with giving us recommendations on what to try and providing such a welcoming experience.

Customer service here is always excellent! Alyssa is a sweetheart. Lean brisket was over-smoked to the point of being dry, but not inedible! Mac n cheese always a timeless classic. Churro pudding was excellent.
