True Texas BBQ

"Let's be honest, grocery store food courts don't exactly scream "culinary masterpiece." But hold your horses, BBQ lovers, because this little BBQ spot attached to HEB was pretty yummy. It's a tasty spot to grab a quick take-out meal. No inside seating. You order from the kiosk on the side or from their app on your phone and they'll text you when your order is ready. I opted for the burnt ends and brisket combo, and I can tell you, it was a pleasant surprise. The burnt ends were the winners on the plate. Each morsel was nicely caramelized on the outside. The smoke flavor was well balanced by a touch of sweetness that wasn't overpowering. And the brisket? Tender, juicy, and packed with that rich, slow-cooked flavor that BBQ lovers crave. The sauce was tangy, sweet, and with a hint of spice that enhanced the meats without overpowering the natural smokiness. The sides were fresh and tasty; I really enjoyed the beans with bits of brisket. My only complaint was that the portions of meat and sides were small and I didn't feel like I got enough bang for my bucks. Hence the reason for 3 stars instead of 4."

"Husband placed an order and the order asks what type of sauce you want with your meal. Gets home with order and there is 0 sauce. Call to alert of the problem and the guy answering the phone at 6p on a Tuesday says Get F7cked in customer service-ese because BBQ sauce is self serve. If it is self serve, DO NOT HAVE IT ON THE ORDER AS AN OPTION or TELL THE CUSTOMER. Take it off the order as an option if you're not going to provide it because your employees won't be bothered to inform the customer before they get home to a hungry family with dry overcooked sauceless meat that they didn't put any sauce in the bag with the $70 off BBQ."

"A great bbq place and bar inside a grocery store. I had a pulled pork sandwich for under $5! I assumed every city would have these in H-E-B, which is not the case, so if you are near one, check it out!"

"My daughter is shopping at HEB, asked her to pick up a sliced brisket sandwich, haven't received it yet but I would like to make mention of the true BBQ app. I was trying to order on the app so my daughter wouldn't have to stand in line after shopping but I have an Android phone and you can only download their app if you have an Iphone.Why? You are limiting your company from orders and money. People are user friendly and don't want to stand in line, esp when it's long and you have to wait at least 15 min for your order.There are just as many Android users in this city, why not make it available to the Google play store..i have never seen this before. Will do a food review after I eat..well just been informed that you guys were out of sliced brisket, had to get chopped beef sandwich instead, hmmm, was looking forward to the fatty brisket, guess I'll try again soon.So I tasted the chopped beef leftovers bc they ran out of sliced beef, received a baby bun sandwich with one big onion and meat just thrown on the bun, pic posted. Had I been there, I would've given this sloppy sandwich right back to them. Doesn't taste good at all, will not return .."

"OK, it's the 2nd day HEB has been open. I decided to get BBQ and ordered 20 mins before on the True Texas BBQ app. When I got there I waited in confusion while the chaulk board let me know there was at least a 15-18 min wait. I went to the window after 4 mins and the employee politely apologized (waited 24 minutes at this point) which I understood since again, it's their 2nd day open. Having gotten my order, I am glad to report that the brisket is amazingly tender and juicy as I expect, even better than some well established TX BBQ restaurants in Houston. Smoke ring was present and taste was great. Only thing here is that I was not given any house BBQ sauce in the bag which I only realized when I got home...other than that I appreciate HEB for bringing this to Manvel and hopefully they may get approvals to create a sit down restaurant at some point."
