The flavor is giving Mesquite. Great service folks and good prices also make this True location easy for me to frequent.

Stopping at HEB every time I'm in town is a must for a few groceries I can take home with me. Also true Texas bbq is one of my favs. It was a late dinner almost before closing time and lost good things were out. So I settled for the fatty brisket and the chicken leg. It wasn't busy so the food was out very quick. The brisket was fatty but I trimmed it and enjoyed. Still succulent and juicy. The chicken was a lil rougher maybe hanging around heat lamps most of the day. But it wasn't bad. The potato salad almost had no flavor, but I forget and keep ordering it. Meal wasn't bad and I expected it since it was late. But I love true Texas bbq anyways read more

My wife and I went to True Texas BBQ in Midland last Saturday and were quite disappointed in what we paid for. I ordered a single meat burnt ends plate with greens and cornbread. She ordered a single meat chopped brisket plate with mac and cheese and beans. It was a dine in order but we decided to get lids for the little paper cups that everything was served in and take it home. This was the first time I have seen a meat plate served in cups. The potions were for a small child. About enough meat for a small biscuit sandwich. The corn bread was hard as a brick. The burnt ends were meat mush with mostly BBQ sauce. The beans were too salty. The greens and mac and cheese were good. We have had this HEB BBQ before and it was just fine, this time it sucked. Not only was the food a disappointment the staff working there were too. The woman up front looked so miserable I thought she was going to fall over at any time. If you needed anything, the service window staff spoke no english. Never going back here again! read more

I was at a buddy of mines place the other evening and he ordered so True via favor. I had never had the turkey breast before and dang it was tasty. This evening I went in for dinner and ordered the two meat plate. Sausage and turkey. Both were COLD! The sausage was dry too. The potato salad and beans were as expected. Good, really the only thing saving this from being a single star. The service was lacking as well. All the damn establishments going to computerized ordering that don't take cash. So, I had to wait for 5-7 minutes before someone came to the counter to take my order to pay with cash. read more

I had my food picked up and they said the staff were friendly. The issue was the food. First we did not get any bbq sauce, people in our group were missing food or got wrong food. The brisket "chili" is not chili... it was brisket in a cup with no liquid. I don't think we will be trying again. read more

Came here on a Wednesday around 1pm, it wasn't too crowded for a lunch crowd. We ordered an el jefe, which was HUGE. I could only finish maybe 1/4 of it. We also shared a 3 meat platter of chopped brisket, ribs and sausage, with a side of brisket beans and collard greens. All with a drink for under $50. Pretty good, I'd def return. read more

Ridiculous!! We got 2 of the Texas size brisket sandwiches and there was almost no meat on them. Between the two, there might have been enough meat for one sandwich. Just a couple of tiny tiny thin pieces of meat. And I've had the fatty brisket before, but this time it wasn't really fatty brisket, it was mostly just a blob of solid fat. And the potato salad had so much onion it was inedible. We were both still hungry after eating, the sandwiches were mostly bun. We've been here before and it's never been that bad. We paid $50 for this food, what a ripoff. Probably won't be back if that's what they're gonna serve. read more

I have eaten here a couple times, and if you want really good down home, Texas barbecue, this place is it, they have such a good selection of not only BBQ meats, but also the sides. Today I had the beef brisket and the barbecue sausage, with collard greens and coleslaw. The brisket had that nice crispy outer edge and a nice smoke ring, and the flavor was delicious. It's hard not to love barbecue, but really good barbecue is the best, the smoked sausage was just as delicious and flavorful. I like the side choices they have like I said I had to collard greens And the coleslaw which both were great, and the other sides they have like mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, cornbread, and many other sides to choose from. The service is excellent always friendly, and the nice thing is it's inside the HEB grocery store so it's perfect. Definitely worth trying if you're in Midland. read more

Yooooooooo! HEB bbq!? It's LEGIT! Coming from a native of West Texas, this bbq . I'll give it the chefs kiss from the brisket to the yard bird. Do not miss the jalapeño cornbread or the beans! I will go out on a limb and say pass on the tater salad and Mac. Both are pretty mid to low, with not much flavor. I wasn't a huge fan of the chopped brisket Sammie either( too salty). It's good though. Solid 4 read more

We've had food from here many times. After today's, me won't go back. Beans tasted soured. I had 2 bites and tossed. Brisket was almost flavorless and Mac and cheese beyond bland. Box Mac and cheese has more flavor. My husband's pulled pork sandwich was so dry we tossed it and I'm going to get him something edible. read more

Ruby asked for a review and I normally don't do reviews. But I come here often and I haven't had bad customer service but I haven't had anyone be as pleasant at Ruby she was really a sweat lady and pleasant in the few minutes during our interaction. She deserves this review. There's not much people With good customer service skills and she was the first one I had a great interaction with at true Texas bbq. Brisket potato is the best! read more

The bbq brisket, sausage and turkey are a hit with me. The side dishes are consistently good. Slaw, potato salad, greens and Mac-n-cheese are all good. good pricing and convenience inside HEB make this a regular weekly routine. I don't care for the burnt ends "sauce" I wish they had another bbq sauce to go with the great spicy one. sometimes they run out of menu items and sometimes get short staffed but these items can be overlooked.

The last time I had their bbq it was delicious. It was moist and very tender. I would definitely eat there again.

THEY GOT THE WRONG PERSON!! I stand up for what's right on PERIODT! I am so upset about this order. I ordered delivery and I didn't see the option to order plain cornbread with my order. I called and they said the option should be there.. It isn't there ...So I spoke with a manager Perla who said she will add the cornbread to my order. I stated the only way I can eat my bbq is with bread so please ensure its there. After I placed the order I called back to ensure that cornbread is with the order. She stated that yes it will be with the order. I placed my order and tipped driver. When my delivery arrived I noticed that my order wasn't complete. Cornbread wasn't with order, regular bread wasn't with my order and there was ice in my tea and I had requested no ice. I called back and they said that the driver stated that that's not part of the order and he didn't even take the Mac And cheese and salad... whatever.... its all confusing and doesn't make sense. They apologized and said that they will refund me the entire order. But I would have to call delivery.com to receive my full refund. I spoke with delivery.com and we conference called Texas bbq. It appears that during the hold to speak back with Perla Texas bbq disconnected the call. I called back and now I'm frustrated. And the rep at Texas bbq hung up the phone on me!! I was firm in my speech because I've been very patient and understanding but this is my line. My absolute line. Zach from delivery.com called Texas bbq and spoke with Andrew and I don't even know who he is because I've never talked to him and he is saying that they gave me Mac and cheese for free. I PAID FOR AN ENTIRE ORDER. There's something shady going on and I am completely upset now they are not being honest. After I spoke with Zach he called back and finally Andrew decided to refund my entire order.. He absolutely should because they messed up. but the fact that I had to go through this process is no bueno. I will not order here ever again. The food might be ok but the service isn't and I go where I'm respected. TIP- I WAS TOLD THAT ALL OF THE NOTES MADE ON A DELIVERY ORDER GOES TO THE DRIVER AND NOT THE RESTAURANT... WTH?! read more

I know what you're thinking...BBQ in an HEB grocery store? I thought the exact same thing, but don't judge this book by its cover!! I was honestly Blown Away with the sliced brisket! It was everything that represents Texas BBQ. Smoke Ring... check Dry rub black bark... check Tender not mush... check I only ordered a sliced brisket sandwich bc I was skeptical. But after the 1st bite...it was AMAZING!! The slices were thick, flavor was great, bite after bite made ya just want More! I'm sure there's a lot of place to get great BBQ in Midland but this is easily top 5!! read more

So fire. I'll be visiting again before I leave Texas. The woman at the counter was very sweet recommended all things. The Mac n cheese, the greens the pulled pork everything was great. Fast, efficient and the food was great. No complaints! read more

So, let's address the Longhorn Steer in the room: True Texas Barbecue is a barbecue chain restaurant. Furthermore, it's a barbecue chain restaurant operated by and within a grocery store. Granted, HEB is a pretty good grocery store, but seriously, "supermarket chain barbecue joint" is not a phrase that fills one with confidence. At all. Never been happier to be wrong. I decided to try the place out following a recent article in Texas Monthly calling True Texas Barbecue the best barbecue chain in Texas. Although the article was about TTB as a whole, the Midland location and it's pitmaster(s) were referenced specifically and it was the Midland spot' s food that was taste tested, and when no less a barbecue authority than Texas Monthly says "try this barbecue," then you try this barbecue. I ordered a two meat plate with sliced lean brisket (because Texas, that's why!) and sausage. To say I was surprised at the bark, tenderness and smoky flavor of the brisket would be understating the quality of this brisket. By a LOT. This stands as the best brisket I've ever eaten that did not come from East of Abilene. The pitmaster knows what's up. The sausage was tasty bit I found the casing a little tough, though honestly I prefer too much bite in the casing over not enough. The Texas Barbecue sauce available in a pu ofmp on a counter, is a slightly sweet, semi spicy super savory concoction that complimented my food nicely. (Note: it reminds me a bit of Stubbs Original sauce. That's a good thing.) For sides I got the mac and cheese ad the cole slaw. Both were quite delicious, with the slaw being somewhat less sugary or mayo laden than many varieties you find in the wild, while the mac and cheese was fantasyic. I don't know if it was a blend of cheeses, jyst some white American cheese or some variety of "pasteurized processed cheese food", nor do I know if it was made on site or shipped in from some mac and cheese facility in the Gulf, and God help me, I don't care. This was great. So, although this may not be the personal at playground of some world renowned "Pit Boss," this is an absolute recommendation for 'Cue. Funny thing, later that same day I saw another article from Texas Monthly about another barbecue joint in Midland. I'll be checking that out soon, so keep your eye on my Yelp for details later. read more

My dining experience was amazing. The staff members on shift the night of Tues. 2/28/23 were very courteous and had exceptional customer service skills. I dined in at around 5:30 or so. I had the 3 piece meat menu item. I chose the fatty brisket, turkey and ribs. It was not a mistake. It was yummy. Many thanks to the HEB employees this night that made my experience so great! Keep up the good work ladies Best regards, Mathew Sanchez read more

Good food, fast service, ambiance good. I love their peach cobbler. Love the sweet tea.

My food was cold, which if i'm paying dang near $40 for some bbq it best be hot! Anyway i give two stars because the workers are always cool! I know it's not their fault but i haven't been back since! Edit: They really showed sincere concern to my review and that is why i uped it to 4 stars. I will be going back to give it one more try, not for free i don't want any handouts just want to be true and honest! read more

Good food but the service was a little slow and they were missing several items on the menu.

Came here and I felt like a sardine, costumer service was not very great and the wait was 35 minutes for all items! Prolly will not return unless outside of an HEB cause it was just too crazy. Food is good but not worth this wait. read more

If we lived near a True Texas Bbq, I'm not sure I would use my Big Green Egg as often. So delicious and they sell trays of the BBQ meats. As for the regular menu: Daughter got the mac and cheese with Chopped brisket and wife got the nachos with brisket. Both were tempted to return to True Texas BBQ the next day. read more

Good bbq I suppose if all that you like is meat and pickle. First and last time to try this place. Ordered online to feed 8 people. Got the meats and pickles.....that's it. No onions, no jalapeños, and most especially no BBQ sauce. I specifically asked if it was all in the bag, and yes I did order all of those items. Anyway, Texas BBQ is a different experience to say the least without any sauce. Lots of better choices available. read more

Service was great. The corn bread was over cooked. The Mac and cheese was great! We wanted the brisket but they sold out so we got pulled pork instead which was subpar. It was very greasy at the bottom of the cup which had the meat. Worth trying again for the brisket. read more

I'm giving 5 stars strictly on the food. The chopped bbq sandwiches are so good. Never any clumps of fat on them (so glad, because I can't deal with that). We also eat the potato salad every time and we ask for extra pickles. We get dessert to go for later because we are plenty full from the meal. We eat there quite often and even meet friends and family there for a relaxed and casual atmosphere and visit through out the meal and after. Ohhhh.... And you can grocery shop at H-E-B right after. Get it all done in one trip. read more

Yes, I know, it is in the HEB. But you'd be a fool to pass this place up based on that. The moist brisket is terrific! As good as you will find in hundred miles. I say that, not knowing how far away Ft Worth or Austin actually are. The atmosphere is as good as you can expect, being inside a huge grocery store. But I don't care- I'll come back every time I have to be in Midlandia. read more

The brisket is delicious, just be careful when ordering "Fatty" brisket. Before you leave the store be sure it isn't all fat.

Always cooked to perfection! They send extra napkins, utensils etc. We usually have it delivered, but I know that they keep their restaurant very clean & welcoming! read more

Visiting Midland, TX for the weekend. Decided to use Yelp and find a dinner spot close to the hotel. This place came up. Decided to roll the dice because you can rarely go wrong with BBQ. I was surprised it was part of an HEB grocery store. However, knowing that everything related to HEB is first rate, we went to the counter to order. We got the fatty brisket, sausage, turkey, greens, brisket beans, mac and cheese. For dessert, we got peach cobbler and banana pudding. To my surprise, everything was great. Usually there is always a side or main dish that is so-so or forgettable, but not so. If this place were in my hometown, they'd be a regular stop for me. read more

The pictures are deceiving. To start of, the cashier didn't seem to have great attitude about her job. She wasn't enthusiastic at all and seemed annoyed while taking my order. They were also out of most things on the menu that i tried to order: macaroni salad, corn bread and peach cobbler. Since they were out those, i took a couple of seconds to look at the menu and think of what to substitute. Again, she just seemed annoyed waiting. Food was eh. Bread tasted old, ribs were hard to chew. Brisket and ribs had decent flavor tho. But everything else just seems preheated. I ended up getting a brownie but it looked poorly packaged. Spend your money elsewhere. read more
