    Texas Torpedo!
    Marie B.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    3 meat plate with another order of sausage.

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

    Everything!

    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.

    BBQ is very good! Turkey - moist & flavorful 5 stars Lean Brisket - really good seasoning - quality meat 4.5 stars **Potato Salad and beans - very good Beer on tap - great selection of Texas, mostly Houston beers to stay or go. Favorites are from Lone Pint in Magnolia. Equal reason to go here. Ggood BBQ in HEB. Good value!

    Out of food 615pm

    615pm and this sign says it all. HEB needs to either get serious about serving BBQ or get out of the business. Out of pulled pork. Out of ribs. Out of sausage. And the chopped brisket was loaded with grease.
