Best Value BBQ in Austin – Delicious, Affordable, and No Tipping!
If you are looking for great barbecue without the long lines or high prices of famous tourist spots, I highly recommend True Texas BBQ located inside the HEB on 51st Street. Since it operates in a food hall style, the prices are very budget-friendly, and a huge plus is that you don’t have to worry about tipping!
My absolute favorite thing to order here is the Loaded Baked Potato. It is simple, hearty, and consistently delicious! The meat is tender, and the portions are generous. It’s the perfect spot for a quick, high-quality meal while you’re out doing your grocery shopping. The seating area is clean and convenient. If you want authentic Texas BBQ that won’t break the bank, this is the place to go!

This place is great. With 5 different “restaurants”, everyone in your group can find the perfect satisfying meal, and still sit together at the bar. You can find something to fill every dietary need, as well. For example, my uncle needed a meal that was low in sodium, another guest wanted smoked turkey plate, and I wanted a cobb salad. What a nice experience.

I haven’t eaten at this one yet, but if it is like the ones that I’ve been to from other locations, like the one over in Hancock center, it should be reasonably good. Unfortunately, this is not a very big restaurant unlike the Hancock location, which is essentially a full-size barbecue restaurant. This one is just a walk up window With some shared seating for the food court.

Come on guys. Moist brisket shouldn’t be a giant vain of fat. I didn’t discover this until I unpacked my order at home. You guys can do better, but you’ve got to choose to do good. My ribs and turkey were good.

If there is an heb couping y’all should make it more usable. We paid over $60 but were denied free pudding coupon lol. Heb should at least let the customers use the coupons that are offered. Once the employees hear what happened, I feel like they could have been nice and just gave us the pudding. We only had to spend 15 for the coupon but we spent 60. I work in food industry and I would have definitely just given the customer the $3 pudding lol.

I placed a large order with Richard yesterday, who was incredibly helpful and so friendly! I really appreciated the team’s help when I came to pick up my order. Rick, who helped me and my order out to my car, was so kind and personable. I was having a tough day and the best part was picking up my order. Thank you for everything! The team loved the food, loved the meat selection, the sauces, and of course the sides! You guys nailed it! I really appreciate you!

Hi I went to true Texas BBQ at mueller a few weeks back and I had a great experience with the heb employees working in the food court, I believe one of their names was Alyssa or maybe Ashley, however she and her associates gave me great service, was extremely helpful, and I recommend going there for some great Texas Barbecue for a reasonable price. Thank you guys and Here Everything’s Better!

Always an amazing time!
Challenge Entertainment at Bar Mueller never disappoints. The trivia is fun, well-run, and keeps everyone engaged all night long. The hosts are energetic and make the experience even better. It’s the perfect way to spend an evening with friends — great drinks, great crowd, and always lots of laughs. Highly recommend!

We had a little of everything. Bbq and Japanese food. Daniella made us the Frescaloma drink at the Main Street bar in HEB.
Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is relaxed & family friendly. We ate at the bar to watch the football game. Travis at the bar updated us on future events. Very kind folks here.
