Highly recommended! Everything in the menu is delicious and staff is always helpful and friendly. We love this place for pick-up or grabbing a quick bite, in their clean dining area, before doing the weekly shopping at HEB. read more

My son Picked up his order from the employee. When he got home he saw they gave him the wrong food. I called & told them they have my son the wrong food. After a brief hold they said he got the wrong order & his food is there. They asked for him to return the wrong order when he comes to get his food. Really, really hope they don't try & serve food that has been in someone's possession. In the past I've had a drive thru employee hand me the wrong bag & realize it. I handed it back & he said they can't take it back or let it pass back through the window. Once it leaves the kitchen it considered contaminated...as it should be....but True Texas BBQ requested it back. Do not recommend & will not go back certainly makes me question their sanitary standards. read more

This is my go to Texas barbecue place. When I shop at HEB I order my meal to go. Brisket is tender, ribs fall off the bone, brisket beans are delicious and the cream corn. Service has always been quick and friendly. I have only eaten there once and it's away from the store and quiet. read more

Pretty good!!! The brisket was on the greasy end and had no flavor on its own (I prefer not having to drench my BBQ in sauce), but the ribs were excellent and we really appreciated the more unique items on the menu. The buttery Burnt Ends and the (pepper-jelly glazed?!) stuffed Texas Torpedo are definitely some reasons to come back! The prices were quite steep but comparable to any decent BBQ spot with the economy these days lol ($50 for a somewhat filling lunch for 2 people)... But it's certainly convenient and surprisingly good for a grocery store! read more

Best BBQ IN TOWN! Food Was Delicious! Employees Are Friendly! Will Be Back Again Soon read more

Been there about a half dozen times and each meal was on par with other bbq restaurants. No joke.

Pretty good barbecue. Good but not great. They can't help that they're inside a grocery store, so the vibe is a little odd. The people working there could not be nicer though, clearly trained to be energetic and positive and pulling it off nicely. Overall I'd place this ahead of the chains like Dickey's or Rudy's, but not quite to the level of the best on this side of town like Corkscrew, Tejas, or Bar-A. read more

The turkey was the best I have ever had. Sadly they were out of the macaroni and cheese but I have heard it is delicious.

Great service! Great prices! The food was good! Overall if I'm in the area I'd stop here again! Ordered the brisket baked potato and was not disappointed! A huge loaded potato with moist brisket that should've been two meals! The sausage was ok, but would pass next time. The only downside was I ordered the peach cobbler, but did not receive it. Also my fault for not checking my bag before I left... Overall would return! read more

At first try I waited in line 10 minutes (there was only 3 customers ahead of me) and the line didn't move so i did my grocery shopping and returned on the way out. I ordered a sandwich and a link sausage. After a few minutes they called my name, handed me a bag, and said 'thanks, have a nice day". As I started to get in my car I checked the bag and there was no sandwich, only a side of pickles and onions (which I told them I didn't want when I placed the order). I returned to the store and the gave me carry out container with my sandwich. I should have checked then but found out when I arrived at home that there was no link sausage included. I had to go back a third time to get my sausage link. And as for the link, they sliced it up and crammed it into a little cup. Wtf? At least slice it all the way thru as you have to dump it all out and slice again to separate each piece. And they sliced it lengthwise, so each slice was 3-4 inches long, which also had to be cut to eat. I thought I was getting an actual link, not "sausage in a cup". Pitiful. Just pitiful. The sad news is that management will probably never see this Yelp complaint and wouldn't act even if they did. read more

The brisket is really good. I've never received a bad batch yet. The side dishes are awesome as well.

Best BBQ In Manolia Hands Down! Cashier Was Very Helpful She Let Us Know The Most Popular Thing On The Menu ! My Family Of 5 Decided To Pick The Loaded Baked Potato With Brisket , Meat Plate With Sides & Brisket Nachos . The Lady Handing Us The Order Was Very Nice & Had A Big Smile read more

Excellent little pricey but most places are. So worth it though!!! Go get some soon if you've never been there before!

incredibly expensive for the plate. I got the three meat plate (supposed to be $21 but was $32 in surprise surcharges) and in the end, I received less than a pound of meat. the cashier was also unhelpful and stated that the Texas torpedo was legendary, however it turned out to be a SINGLE lukewarm soggy jalepano popper. save your money and go elsewhere. heck even, just buy the ingredients from H-E-B and make it yourself for a 1/10 of the price. Raw hamburger meat feels like a good, affordable, and tasty option after this experience. read more

The BBQ is amazing, and so close to home. The meat is tender and tasty. My favorite is the Mac and cheese. It tastes home made. Their cobbler is pretty good as well. If you sign up with True Texas BBQ you can get periodic texts for specials of money off or special deals. It's worth a try to see if you like it. It's in an HEB store and conveniently located at Tamina road (2978 area) and 1488. read more

True Texas BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

When we wanted bbq, I didn't expect for this place to be located INSIDE H‑E‑B. But I was very impressed. They were sold out of many meats because they only make a certain amount at the start of the day. The chopped brisket and sausage were both really good. The place was decently clean. The order line was pretty quick to get through and to get our food. It's very loud with it inside the grocery's store but we would still go back. read more

I went yesterday and the food was amazing. I will definitely be back for more. Ambience was great, nice and peaceful. read more

Now- you listen up. I drove an hour for this bbq as soon as I found out it was that near me. I've driven 2.5 hours for it in the past to Austin and eaten it outside in the Texas sun. This in my humble opinion is so damn underrated. Easily top 5 bbq place in Texas. Brisket was amazing. Burnt ends terrific! The Texas torpedos fantastic! You gotta try it. read more

True Texas BBQ - Out of food 615pm - Barbeque Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

BBBQ, what's the extra B for? BYOBB. Apart from the Red River way down in League City this joint provides the most reliable and best (easily accessible) BBBQ I have found in the greater Houston area which makes it an easy favourite for repeat visits. Similar to Rudy's as a no frills, fast-very-casual order at the counter type experience; but overall better in many ways. And doesn't require canceling all plans, packing a backpack of road trip snacks, and telling your children you love them in case you don't come back just so you can stand in line for seven hours at that one over in Pearland everyone is always going on about to justify spending an entire day standing in line to get (if they don't prematurely run out of) meats. There are meatheads, and then there are meatheads the way that term was used in the Back to the Future films. The True Texas has two types of sauces you pump yourself into those little plastic cups next to the soda fountain: one is a derivative of Rudy's hot (the redder, thinner looking sauce) and the other is a much thicker sweeter type distantly reminiscent of Stubbs' sweet heat but even thicker than that one. The two types of sauces are wonderful offerings to complement whether it is chicken, brisket, or other. This joint is located just inside the HEB beyond the main entrance in the front of the store, which depending on the path you take in you might have walked through the patio with all of the BBBQ grilles outside already to get you in the mood for a trill taste of Texas. There are posted instructions to leave your cart outside of the queue to order but you will still see nearly all people with their cart inside the queue if they have shopped first before ordering. You order and pay once you have the pole position in the queue then you swing over to the "interior" of the resto to git your own sauces, drinks, etc. and wait for your order to be up at the side window. Minor complaints include them running out of chicken all of the time (gurrrrrrl, if it is that popular just make some more and then you can sell more!) and the lean brisket not always being as lean as you would believe the word indicates, although since this is the suburbs of Houston perhaps they mean "lean" as in you know, how the rappers use it these days. If true, you should also pick up some Sprite, styrofoam cups, and give soundcloud rapper codenamed Lil Marco a call for the other thing. But, a taste of this BBBQ is a taste of Texas, trill (true) Texas in fact. Especially the chicken. They really had to do it to the chicken. Which makes the few rare times you are early enough to grab one a win in any book so it is your turn for the tasting. Apart from minor complaints everything else is aces down at the True Texas. The teens working the "order's up" window are always incredibly polite as they double check everything you ordered is there as it is supposed to be before you are two towns over realising they forgot the last B in the BBBQ order. Me as a cowboy: [reads smudged writing on hand] Yeee-huh? read more

Always quick and consistent BBQ, and they are always trying new ideas. Basic line service and pick up after yourself

Food is consistently cold, got a stuffed baked potato ,was cold. Went on another day got a chopped beef sandwich,was cold, went one more time....I know why?....this time got a chopped beef sandwich....guess what...cold. Food has good flavor but cold food breeds bacteria read more

Ribs always on point. Sausages are just ok. Casual atmosphere. Not crazy about the side orders.

Stopping in for groceries. Always a good idea not to shop on an empty stomach. Ordered chopped beef potato, all the way, extra butter. Potato was very well cooked, no hard spots nor burned skin. Beef was good and thinner with plenty of flavor. Did not see sour cream on it when i ordered ut. Turned out to be under the cheese. I got unsweet iced tea to drink. Very good and fresh. Of note: they have grindeer salt and peppers. Be careful the cap does not already have a bit of ground seasoning when you pick it up or else it will go on a bit thick. read more

I had no idea that this place would be inside HEB. I was around the area and was craving some good barbecue and saw this. The service was magnificent and the food came out quick. You are able to get your sauces and plastic ware and choose a table before they call your number. I got the briskets, the sausage link, brisket baked potato, creamed corn, green beans, macaroni and cheese. Sad to say that the cream corn and other sides or a miss. Spices were not pairing well with the barbecue. The brisket wasn't as tender as I would like it, and the sauces were just not up to par. I guess you can say it's an okay place to go to if you are craving BBQ. It wasn't terrible, but not up to my standards. read more

Very solid casual BBQ. Friendly cashier at this corner of HEB. My salad was big and fresh, I liked the Caesar dressing. The lean brisket was juicy! I was so relieved it wasn't dry. And the pulled pork was tender and sweet. The MAC n cheese wasn't to our taste, was mushy, so I can't recommend that again, but I'd be back for the meats. read more

Smackin bbq. Probably some of the best on this side of town. Everything tastes great, fair portions for the prices too

The service is always fast. People are always friendly! Food is amazing every time! I bring my family and friends in this business to show them then what this place is always about! I truly love everything about this place! read more

First time trying this. Ordered brisket, ribs, turkey. Out of the whole lot, the turkey was probably the best. Brisket was bit dry... didn't order the sausage but it was okay. They made an error in my order as the ribs that I paid extra for in the order was replaced with sausage. 7 out of 10. Definitely room for improvement for HEB and hope this is constructive for the business to improve. Update: HEB staff was super and compensated for the mistakes made. Tried the ribs and that was great! Again, Great staff at HEB. read more

True Texas is my go to barbecue place anytime I am entertaining visitors from out of State looking for good Texas barbecue! I have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious. Can't go wrong with the ribs, brisket or pulled pork - I also love the chicken. The sides are also good. The catering associates are very helpful in determining how much food you will need. read more

Terrible. We had the ribs and chicken that were straight up gross. The turkey and sausage were mediocre. The sides of Mac and cheese, potato salad, cream corn and baked beans were also okay and we didn't even finish it. The worst came though when I found a long hair in the banana pudding! read more

We decided to try True Texas BBQ inside of HEB. Picky on BBQ so we split a pulled pork sandwich, side of potato salad and banana pudding. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious. Sauce was on the side and it was so good you really didn't need any. We tried it and the sauce also was delicious The potato salad was pretty good. It had a little kick to it, red potatoes with skins, not all in small pieces and no mustard or sweet pickles...a good thing. Banana pudding is made in house. We didnt care for the pudding because it had banana extract in it. I don't care for that taste. The vanilla wafers were however, still crispy. Prices are reasonable and the menu has plenty to offer. The interior of the restaurant is so cute and clean. Kind of a modern, industrial and old style decor. The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly, helpful and must be the owner. Everything runs smoothly in a crowded place and in an HEB store. I went again about a week or two later to pick up a pint of potato salad. read more

The heavenly aroma from the parking lot is Devine and From there, it's mesmerizing and pulls one towards the far right HEB entrance to the True Texan BBQ. Stopped in for a late din din ...sweet staff, clean establishment and From first appearance- nothing special but 3 steps into dining area... it's no longer a grocery store vibe... it's a bonafide BBQ joint. I ordered the 3 meat platter to sample and share, and my table mates ordered the texas-size baked & stuffed Potatoes (one with brisket and other pulled pork). Perhaps it's due to dining towards later operating hours, but the group consensus on the overall meat platter was just ok (smelled better vs the look, taste, texture) and The Potato gents enjoyed theirs for the most part. Would we run back? Probably not, but i'll enjoy the aroma whenever there! PS - the soft ice at the help-yourself beverage area is da bomb! read more

Any Texas BBQ resturant with "True" in its name, along with 5 stars (despite limited reviews due to being so new) is going to grab my attention and service. Here's one more 5 star rating for ya! This place will kind of remind you of Rudy's (popular Texas BBQ chain) but with better food quality like that found in a non-chain 'hole in the wall' joint. They have good moist brisket, decent sides, but their signature smokes were the ribs (top 3rd I've ever had) and turkey - so moist and rich in flavor. Service and cleanliness standards were also great. It's hard to believe that this place is actually located inside a local HEB grocery store too. read more

I had the 1/2 lb. sliced brisket sandwich (fatty cut) w/ side of mac & cheese & sweet tea. The sandwich was among the better brisket I've had, w/ plenty of bark on the meat slices. I was really hungry, so was able to finish the whole thing, but the fatty meat richness pushed me to the limit. The smaller size sandwich would work for most people. They had the sauce options, Kansas City and Spicy. Both sauces were above average, even though I don't think they're made on site. Mac & cheese was simple, but delicious! Counter service was friendly & patient to this first time customer. I may be moving to the area & if I do, I will surely return! Definitely worth a try! read more

Ordered Half chicken and One pound of Chopped Brisket. The guy taking the order was great and super quick. When I went to pick it up at the other window the female just slid the bag towards me and didn't say a word. I asked her about the pickles and onions because I didn't see them in the bag. She just gave me a deer in the headlights look and walked off. Great customer service on one end but failed on the other. Chopped brisket was just ok. The chicken was not good at all. It was extremely dry and have no flavor at all. read more
