Two meat plate with a drink
Christian D.

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.

Inconsistent, always get broken chips for nachos. Workers are not nice either all they do it stare at u

Brisket chili

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.

Three Meat (Chopped Natural Brisket, sausage, Natural St. Louis Spare Ribs, Brisket Beans and Collard Greens)

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.

The BBQ is very good. The beer? Local and even fresher on draft. Lone Pint for the win. But yes, don't sleep on this place. Very consistent food and the brisket is delicious. I go for the turkey and those brisket beans? Epic.

3.4 ounces with cup

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!

My keto meal

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.

Natural St. Louis Spare Ribs
Trey H.

AMAZING BBQ PLACE IN MIDLAND HEB! I got the ribs here and half a rack was ALOT! Service was real quick on a Saturday night for party of 4! Ate outside on a nice night and was delicious and great spot! Strawberry lemonade was really good as well! If I lived in area I'd be here weekly:)

I bought a turkey for Christmas. When we unwrapped the turkey it was burnt. The meat was so dry it wasn't edible.

Green beans are good but that's about the only thing. The lean brisket is still fatty. Honestly, I wouldn't bother.

Got a recommendation from a local about BBQ in Midland. KD's was suggested. I needed to cater lunch…read morefor a business meeting for 10. I called in less than 24 hours ahead of time, and KD's sorted it out perfectly. 2 meat lunch for 10, with 2 sides to choose from a good selection plus beans, bread, tea, 2 cobblers, napkins, utensils, sugar, etc etc etc. literally everything included so I didn't have to do any legwork. Couple extra bucks for scoops and tongs, which is more than fair considering it only came out to 20$ per person. Food was ready and packaged when I arrived. Staff carried it all out. Rung me up quickly. Quality was very high. Brisket was excellent as well as German sausage. Damn good food. Cannot recommend enough.

Big mistake! I read the reviews on DoorDash and I decided not to order from them however, I went…read moreand read the reviews on Yelp and thought hey they're worth giving a try. The quantity of food for the price is not worth it. I got two pieces of brisket and one hot link on a two meat plate. The brisket was dry and didn't have any flavor to it whatsoever. You have to use the sauce to add flavor and I normally don't eat barbecue sauce. I'm glad I did order the spicy barbecue sauce because it was the best thing that they sent. The pinto beans did not have any flavor and they were cold. The coleslaw was. I can't even explain the taste but not like normal. Outside of the barbecue sauce being the best was the packaging. It was perfect and perfectly sealed. Try them at your own risk, but I would never order from them again.

On the way home, we stopped at one of the Top 50 Texas BBQ spots in Midland Texas. This is our 48th…read moreof the top 50 BBQ places we visited. Half Acre BBQ: Midland's High-Plains Pitstop Delivers on Ribs and Big Oil Energy If you are rolling through West Texas on I-20, Half Acre BBQ in Midland is a worthwhile stop for anyone hunting down top-tier Texas Monthly Top 50 honors. Housed in a pristine, modern facility, the restaurant boasts ample parking and plenty of seating both indoors and out on the patio. By 11:00 AM on a Wednesday, a steady line was already forming--clearly a favorite weekday lunch hub for the local oil and gas crowd. The Meats: Pork Ribs (The Star of the Show): Absolute perfection. Coated in a balanced salt-and-pepper rub and finished with a subtle honey glaze, these ribs strike the ideal balance between savory and sweet. They feature a flawless bite--tender enough to pull cleanly off the bone without falling apart. Turkey: Exceptionally juicy and moist throughout, framed by a well-seasoned bark that keeps every bite flavorful. Jalapeño & Cheddar Sausage: Made with a traditional coarse grind rather than a double grind, offering a great natural texture. Packed with a generous amount of real cheddar and jalapeño, all snapped tightly inside a firm, crisp casing. Brisket: Respectable, though slightly mixed. The bark carries good flavor without being overly peppery, but it lacks a prominent smoke ring. While the outer edges are tender, the interior meat leans a little dry and stringy. The Sides & Extras: Green Chile Mac & Cheese: Creamy, rich cheddar sauce infused with just the right level of green chile heat. It makes for a standout side that cuts through the rich pork ribs exceptionally well. Jalapeño Poppers: Classic cream cheese-filled peppers wrapped in bacon. The bacon is rendered and cooked nicely, and the cream cheese cools down the pepper's kick. While solid, mixing in some leftover brisket or chopped chicken would elevate them to elite status. BBQ Sauce: The house sauce flavor didn't quite hit the mark, but the smoked meats hold their own so well that sauce isn't necessary--save for adding a splash of moisture to the leaner cuts of brisket. The Verdict: Half Acre BBQ fully earns its spot on the state's pitmaster map. While the brisket has room for a touch more moisture, the outstanding pork ribs, juicy turkey, and top-tier sides make it an essential stop in Midland TX.

Texas barbecue exactly the way I want it: counter service, butcher paper, brisket, sausage and…read morefried okra. The brisket was the standout. Proper bark, plenty of smoke and tender without turning into pot roast. Sausage was great too, and fried okra with barbecue should probably be mandatory everywhere. Nothing precious about the place. Get in line, order meat, eat meat. Midland did me right.
