Food portions were big, but the flavor was okay. Nothing to really wow you. I got sliced brisket and St. Louis pork ribs. I had to use a ton of bbq sauce and salt for taste. Beans were okay also. Wife got the half chicken and she loved it. Sweet tea was very good and tasted like sun brew.

Well, I spoke with the owner and he pointed out that I was likely confusing single meat sandwich…read moreprices with the double. It's possible that the single was 5.99 at one time and the double 7.99. Although I consider the double meat sandwich high priced today, he pointed out to me that you get 2/3 of a pound of meat on the sandwich, so maybe 14.99 though high is not too far out of line. The owner challenged me to find better value at a non chain BBQ joint. Off the top of my head, I can name three non-chain BBQ joints where you get excellent value for the money: Evie Mae's in Wolfforth up near Lubbock ( free self-serve beer with your meal there as well), Thorndale Meat Market in Thorndale, and the Old 300 in Blanco closer to home. Despite my price complaint, Klein's has the best BBQ in the vicinity. Hopefully, they'll strive to keep it so.

It's a meat market and really a spice market too! But you can go in and order cooked food and eat there or take it to go. Ive had the brisket, sausage and baby back ribs, creamed corn, beans and potato salad. I live everything. Not one negative thing to say. Its just perfect. Juicy when it needs to be perfectly spiced, perfect temp, cooked to perfection. Please try it. They have limited hours so plan ahead.

Traffic was a mess, but we were able to park pretty close. I would guess parking is normally easier. This is similar to every Texas bbq place. Stand in line, order food by weight, and get a tray. Sides come in normal sizes. Whatever was going on in town made this place a little crazy, but the staff handled it great and the line moved fast. We got turkey, sausage, and pulled pork. For sides, we got Mac and cheese, borracho beans, and potato salad. We also got bread, pickles, and onions. Everything was perfect. They also had a Barq's take on big red

I ordered the brisket meal and my friend got the turkey plate. The food was great. My brisket was perfectly cooked and had a good marbeling. I liked the coleslaw and the potato salad. We were the first ones in the door so it was empty when we started eating but quickly filled up. The only issue is parking on the main street as it gets pretty busy but we were lucky to find a spot near the front.

My husband refused to leave a bite of his burger and fries. What I couldn't eat of my grilled cheese and fries went with me. The customer service was great! Kudos for kindness. So glad we stopped!

Once again, my son and I made plans to go eat somewhere that was closed! Our original date was a…read moreSunday. Then, when he got sick and had to change it to Monday, we idiots did not look to see if it was open that day. We were driving out to Pipe's Creek to check on my trailer, so he looked online for restaurants in the area that were open and found Jo Mama's. After a quick look at the menu, we decided it was worth a try. They had several specialty burgers that all sounded good, so we stopped in. The dining room is tiny, but you do have the option of eating in Chubby's bar next door. We stayed in the dining room. The people working at the restaurant were all super nice and helpful. I ordered a bacon and blue cheese burger with a side of sweet potato fries and an extra cup of their homemade blue cheese dressing for dipping. My son ordered the Frito pie burger with tater tots. We also both ordered sweet tea, which was actually bottles of Gold Peak. My son did surprisingly well with his burger. It was super loaded with chili and thus super messy. After he had scarfed the burger down, he had a full serving of Frito pie on his plate. He said the chili was awesome. The tots however were just "okay". My burger was amazing. The patty and bread were the perfect match. The bacon was thick and crispy. Everything came together to make it really delicious. But, if I'm honest, the highlight of my meal was the sweet potato fries. They were nice and crispy. But, what put them over the top was a generous sprinkle of sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla powder. That combination was positively addicting. I blindly ate all of them, which is very unusual for me. I normally eat about 6 or 8 fries and give the rest away. I visit my trailer to check on it after major storms and when I haven't camped as much. Plus I go to Pipe Creek to hook it up for trips and bring it back for storage. I'm pretty sure there will be a hamburger in my belly every time I go there in the future. I want to work through the menu and try the others. Why? Just because they are there, and after eating one of them, I know the rest are going to be awesome, too.

Met up with a friend for a late lunch who recommended True Texas BBQ. I don't know why I haven't…read moretried it as it's near an HEB I frequent. I guess I just beeline for groceries and leave. I wasn't sure if I wanted to order just meat on the side and a side order so my friend suggested getting the Loaded Brisket Potato. That sounded perfect. Chuck was our cashier and server. He was fidgeting with the cash register as it had been down from an IT glitch and had to re-input the menu items. I asked if the brisket used in the Loaded Potato is different from the Prime Brisket? He said it was the same meat. I wanted to order the Potato to taste then decide if I wanted to buy a pound. My friend also ordered a Loaded Brisket Potato with Green Onions and a side of Fried Green Beans. I also got a Watermelon Iced Tea which Chuck recommended. The Iced Tea was a little sweet for me so I mixed it with regular Iced Tea but I could definitely taste the Watermelon essence. My brisket seemed salty and heavily seasoned and looked like I was given "Burnt Ends". My friend had more tender cuts. I think my potato could've used more Sour Cream and the potato could've been cooked longer where it's steamy and soft. My meal seamed dry as the only other ingredient was the cheese. My friend noted that her HEB True Texas BBQ had more flavorful meat. Guess I'll have to try another location. The Green Beans were crunchy but too greasy for me. Chuck was attentive and helpful. He served our entrees and brought other customer's entrees to their table. I liked the little toothpicks in a True Texas BBQ package by the condiments. The restaurant was very clean as was the bathroom.

Waited for our number/name to be called. There were two people behind the counter, both on their personal cell phones. There were tables around us that needed to be wiped down. Our number/name was called in a reasonable time. Upon receipt of the food it left a little to be desired for presentation. The meats were not very warm however they were warm. The food tasted good. When I went to get sweet tea or peach tea both were out. I went up to the counter informed the people that were both still on the personal cell phones. I went and sat down. The personnel did respond immediately to both teas being out and filled them. The ambience in the restaurant was very good. I did notice at the table next to me. There was a couple talking about several of the items I just mentioned. I just expected a little bit better from H-E-B. But this is twice now that I have been sort of disappointed with HEB's true Texas barbecue. Hope that H-E-B reads this and tries to do something about it. If the staff would pay a little bit more attention to detail of the restaurant, and the needs of the patrons, I think this would help out immensely.

This was our fist time in San Antonio, and our first BBQ there. It was good. And we went back twice…read morebefore we left. I ordered the brisket and burnt ends with creamed corn and the green beans. My wife had the brisket and chicken the first time and I think the sausage the second. For us coming from California this was a nice treat. The only issue was they ran out of chicken the second time we went. That did not effect me, but it did my wife and the her family who went with us. Would I go back, yes for sure. I would call before going to make sure they have not run out of anything to save yourself the disappointment of driving to them only to find out what you are craving is not there. Oh, and the sweet tea was amazing.

The wife and I gave them a try this evening. We strolled to the front of the neighborhood, and were promptly greeted by the couple. After some small talk back and forth, we placed our orders. My wife got the sliced brisket with creamed corn (minus the caramel drizzle), and beans. Myself, the sweet rib plate, creamed corn with the drizzle, and beans. In good time we received our order and went back to the house. The smell of barbecue filled my car and had our mouths watering. Once home, we dove right into our plates. I swiped a small piece of brisket from the wife and tried it. Nice and tender, and was tasty. I went to work on my ribs. I do not get to have them often, as my wife is not a fan of pork, so this would be a treat. Ribs are usually a lot of work, and messy, so to work I go. Upon opening my container there was three ribs with nice hunks of meat in them. The corn looked pretty good, and the beans looked sticky. The ribs were pretty good. Tender, nice flavor, and the sweet barbecue sauce was pretty good too. The corn was pretty good. I almost ordered it without the drizzle, but my curiosity had me going, so tried it. I think the corn was good by itself and I could not really taste the caramel. It was an odd pairing, so next time I'll order it sans caramel. The beans were ok. They had a weird sticky texture I was not fond of. They were not bad, I just was not a fan. Overall, it was great. The barbecue is the star here and you will not be disappointed. I definitely recommend grabbing some barbecue from these folks if you see them in the area. They were really nice people, and their food was great. I want to thank them for coming to our neighborhood to serve us some yummy barbecue. We sure hope they come back. Enjoy!
