The pricing was misleading. I ordered a 1 meat plate and expected to be charged $10.50. Instead, I was charged $16.50 plus tax. The menu pricing makes no sense and/or misleading. Please list the pricing on the menu so it makes sense. Just like every place else. Otherwise, the food was good. read more

True Texas BBQ - Thick sliced Turkey breast - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Tried the one meat plate with brisket, brisket beans and creamed corn. I requested fatty brisket but one slice was fatty and the other was lean. I showed the picture to manager Travis who explained the way they cut the brisket, the top is fatty and the bottom portion is lean. He gave me another slice which was much juicier. The brisket had a nice smokey flavor. The brisket beans and creamed corn were warm, and should have been hotter. It was disappointing that the container was not filled to the top like the pic on the app. They should use a smaller container. Both sides were tasty but I felt the temp should have been hotter. I wish the order came with sides of bbq sauce. It's an inconvenience when you have to pump the bbq sauce into small containers. This experience was okay but didn't wow me. read more

Normally, True Texas BBQ is reliably so-so BBQ. It's not the best, not the worst but it's convenient, being close by with the drive through with good service. But this evening, the convenience, and drive through service did NOT make up for the food. It was bad. First, the pulled pork sandwich and prime brisket sandwich and creamed corn were all cold. Not lukewarm, but cold. Off temperature food can make people sick. It was't the drive because I live only about 1 mile from the store. Secondly, there was no BBQ sauce. What BBQ restaurant doesn't serve BBQ sauce? Thirdly, the cornbread was burnt. I was shocked they would actually serve it to a customer. I attached a photo. The photo actually looks better than it did in person. The Apple slaw is a unique recipe that is not typical slaw. It had mixed reviews. My husband liked it but I didn't care for the flavor. Overall, we were very disappointed with the food. We know you guys can do better. read more

Never in 55 years of eating BBQ all over our great state of Texas have I never not been given BBQ sauce. First time getting food from this place, pick up to go; got home, NO sauce! Is it extra? Do I have to request it? Is it a paid menu item? Like I said, sauce is normally implied! Especially on a to go order! This isn't New Jersey, this is Texas. read more

True Texas BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Smelled amazingly smoky long before I entered! It is adjacent to an H-E-B. Not to crowded inside at 12:30 but did have alot of customers inside. 3/4 lbs of brisket and one sausage was $27 with a medium drink. Probably should have gotten 1/2 lbs but can always take some home. Took about 10 minutes to get my food. I did not think the meat was too fatty as some reviews stated. I do agree with the comments about the salt. Some pieces were awesome and some seemed heavily salted. Not sure why but the salt was a bit excessive. The sausage was good but the skin was a bit tough and chewy. The brisket had a good bark and a nice smoke ring. Overall it was pretty good. I was surprised by HEB bar b que. I would eat here again. read more

True Texas BBQ - Drive through! - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Excellent barbecue. Grilled to perfection brisket and ribs. Not over priced with great flavor. Highly recommend.

This is the first time I've had a bad experience at a True Texas BBQ, so I hope this time was an anomaly, but it deserves to be shared. Yesterday, on 5/3/25 @ approx 7:30 pm, I placed my order through a kiosk pad for ribs, 1/2 lb of fatty brisket, Cole Slaw , and brisket beans. When I went to check on the status, I was told that they couldn't fulfill my order because they were out of brisket. They said they could substitute it for burnt ends. How does a BBQ place literally inside of a grocery store , run out of meat? The ribs , which are usually pretty tender, were almost inedible. So tough, that I only gnawed on one and threw the other 2 ribs away. The worst part, no apology from the manager, no offer of any sort of compensation, a free iced tea, anything .. in fact I have no idea if the burnt ends I got were less or more expensive then the original brisket I ordered . Such a mediocre and disappointing experience. read more

So yummy BBQ right inside H‑E‑B. The brisket is so good. I wish they would offer samples for those that have never tried their food. The brisket was juicy, tender, fall apart, and smokey. You don't need sauce but I got some. The sauce is nothing to rave about. I got a bit or regular and spicy I prefer the spicy. Great customer service! read more

Food is great but their app and service has issues. We used the app for two 2-meat plates and entered our preferences for the pickles, onions, bread and bbq sauces. One of the plate orders had peach cobbler as a side. We drove home across town and discovered they ignored our order preferences and left out the peach cobbler. I called back and asked to be reimbursed for the peach cobbler and as told they can't do it online or over the phone and I would have to drive back there. Driving back across town was not worth the effort for a single serving of peach cobbler. Their standards and SOPs are not as good or streamlined as their curbside. read more

This restaurant is attached to the HEB PLUS. What got me in here was the bbq smell permeating the entire store. I had heard great things about it and it did not disappoint. I ended up using the drive through and it was so convenient after I had just put all my groceries in the car. The pulled pork sandwich was great and was very reasonably priced.the convenience is unmatched. read more

Food is great and service is great. Ambiance, I use the drive thru. I love the lean brisket with a wonderful smoky flavor.

Why can't these guys ever get an order right? I have been here three times and still they can't get my order right on the first try. They always run out of food way early than normal. 30 minutes before closing I could understand in a BBQ restaurant. But by 6 pm they are already out of food. They charge extra for butter?!?! Come on the prices are high already compared to the quality of food now I have to pay extra for condiments? Bills Millers has got us spoiled! Where is the manager? Every time I ask there's never a manager on duty. That would explain the poor customer service I guess. Last always check your order if you are in the drive thru or carry out. Chances are your order is wrong or they forgot something. read more

I always make a stop at True Texas BBQ during my shopping trips to H-E-B. It's incredibly convenient, and the food never disappoints! The brisket, turkey, and beef chop are all delicious and cooked to perfection. They also have a great selection of beers on tap, which is a nice touch. If you're a fan of saving while enjoying great BBQ, don't forget to sign up for their weekly coupons--totally worth it! read more

I placed an order via the app on Thursday at 4:14. Per the app - order would be ready for pickup at 4:20. I arrived at 4:15 as I was in H-E-B when I placed the order. There were no dine in customers and 4 delivery pick up drivers. I waited 20 minutes. During that time no staff asked me the name on the order or offered to check the status. I was the only one left waiting. I approached the cashier to ask about the order. I told her pick up time was 4:20 and it was 4:35. The cashier said the 4:20 was not the pickup time - that was the time the order was sent to the restaurant. The App specifically says pick up time. She was unable to find my order. I asked for a refund as I no longer wanted to wait. Another woman who appeared to be the expediter offered to prepare my order now and it would only be a few minutes. I declined and said I wanted a refund. It took another 10 minutes to get a partial refund. No one seemed to know how to refund the amount I paid despite having my receipt. The expediter prepared my sandwich, upsized the coleslaw and threw in a dessert. The cashier said the dessert was more than the money they owed. I declined the dessert. I will say the expediter was VERY polite and VERY customer service oriented. If she wasn't the manager she SHOULD be! As I was leaving, the cashier said "You got MORE than you paid for"! I lost 30 minutes waiting for a sliced brisket sandwich that was 80% fat, an upsized coleslaw which I did not need and a free dessert. True texas BBQ is so so quality. Next time I will gladly drive the 10 minutes to Bill Millers. True Texas BBQ is usually empty - perhaps most people get it to go. While I was waiting, 2 other customers returned for missing or incorrect items on their orders. Seems not to be an isolated occurrence. Recognition to the woman expeditor who KNOWS what customer service should be. The cashier needs training. Laughably I received a notice from the app 1 hour after I placed the order (30 minutes after I left) saying my order was ready for pickup read more

There is a True Texas BBQ under construction at our neighborhood HEB, so we made a field trip to visit an up-and-running outlet across town. The meats are the real deal! The smoked turkey is juicy, the brisket is rich and smoky, and the sausage is peppery. I wanted to try the spicer sauce but the dispenser (nice automation!) was empty. We are looking forward to having an outlet closer to home. read more

Food is great and Thursday night trivia is amazing! There's no place I would rather spend my time!

I love the loaded baked potato at HEB True Texas BBQ!!! Also love playing trivia on Thursday nights.

We were helping a friend and her family by providing them dinner and my husband looked into bbq places and the reviews from this place looked great so we thought to give it a go. Our HEB is also about to have a True Texas BBQ so this would be a good preview. We ordered the same foods for our friends as the food we brought home for ourselves - pork ribs, beef ribs, moist brisket, potato salad, and roasted chicken. Our friends were already texting us that this was the best bbq they've ever had as we were driving home. They provided both sweet bbq sauces and spicy bbq sauces to us. Sweet was definitely good for me and the spicy was definitely good for my husband. The beef rib is ginormous! The picture does not do justice. It is a foot long! Surely more food than I could finish in one sitting. From what I could try, it was all delicious. We ordered way too much food and my husband ended freezing some of it for later. It is seriously great bbq and I'm excited the one 2 minutes from us is about to open! read more

Some of the best BBQ in town. The brisket is always flavorful with a nice bark. The ribs are generally tender and meaty with a similar good taste. I'm not a fan of their BBQ beans, but potato salad is good. For dessert, the peach cobbler and banana pudding are amazingly good. When you don't have time to do serious BBQ in town at places like 2M Smokehouse, True Texas will hit the mark. read more

So first time trying this place as I am new to San Antonio and I have to say that I love H‑E‑B lol so cool how they have a BBQ spot right at the same location. I enjoyed the food here and was pleasantly surprised at how good the brisket was but not so happy about the portions. The service was very friendly and quick with our order. I'll definitely come back but might get something else. read more

When an elusive BBQ truck wasn't parked in the spot we thought it would be, my group decided to pivot and have dinner at HEB instead- and we are all glad we did! Five of us walked in on a Friday night and had about a three minute wait in line. Ordering was a breeze and we waited about six minutes for our food, which was just the right amount of time to fill up our drinks and grab some sauce at the self serve station. Once our food arrived, the most obvious sign of a great meal struck...nobody was talking! We were all too busy chowing down on the delicious plates to get a word out other than "mmmm!" We managed to do some food swapping so we could try more items. I can attest to the baked potato (I am not a huge BBQ fan so I always love to see a good potato on the menu) and sausage link, both hit exactly the spot and the HEB BBQ sauce was the cherry on top. As for the mac and cheese, it fell just a bit flat. At a BBQ place you expect punches of big flavor, but the noodles and the cheese tasted like they could use a little umph. Once we got a handle on our hunger, we proceeded to have a thirty minute long conversation all about HEB. Our favorite stores, products, and why we love HEB so much. I tell you there is something about HEB that turns you into a cult follower and we were all in! As if to reward us for such a perfect evening, as we headed back to the car we were reminded there is no better place in the city to watch the sunset than straight from the HEB parking lot. Fantastic experience all around, I will (obviously) be back! read more

Stopped by for BBQ and was sorely disappointed. First, I ordered 1/2lb of brisket, they shorted me. I also go the macaroni and turkey. The turkey was really good, two stars. The mac was awful. To top it off I got really sick from it and it was overpriced. I will not be eating here again. read more

Very impressive BBQ for a grocery store! Seriously, this place has a unique and creative menu, loaded with the typical BBQ joint eats, but also unique items, like a brisket biscuit and their seasonal cobbler. I tried a couple of meats in my visit; their brisket and some sausage. Both were smoked very nicely and flavorful. The sausage was pork & beef, but didn't have anything else in it and that was fine, because the flavors were great just the way it was. Their beans were very saucy and flavorful... Cornbread was nice, but a little on the boring side. Their jalapeños were really good and pickled perfectly to still be crisp, but not very spicy. For dessert, their seasonal cobbler when I went, was Mexican Chocolate and it was excellent!! Service was very friendly and very helpful. I really enjoyed this visit and would return! read more

True Texas BBQ is not going to be in the ranks of the top tier Texas BBQ in town but it is a very affordable, quick option that is miles ahead of any of the fast food BBQ places. The prices are very fair and the food is always on point.

We were driving across the country and stopped in San Antonio for the night. We thought since we were in Texas, we should get Texas BBQ. We wanted to find some place that was close by for delivery. So we picked this place. The menu looked good and they had cornbread, which was what I was after. My husband got the chopped natural-brisket sandwich. I got the 2-meat plate, which came with 2 sides. I also got a separate side of corn bread. The two meats I chose were pulled pork and lean sliced brisket. I chose the green bean and salad as a side. I honestly wasn't impressed with the green beans. The meats though, were pretty good. The brisket had a nice smokiness to it and the pulled pork was very tender. The cornbread I think, was the best part. Not only was it a size-able piece, it was moist and soft, and had pieces of something that I couldn't identify. It was an ok place, we weren't too impressed with this place. Plus my husband got a can of coke and they forgot it. read more

Usually drive thru here as it is convenient. We order the bake potatoes and get them with sausage or brisket. Never disappointed!

This place sux ! The food is all cold way overpriced for what you get. If I could give it a zero rate I would. Will never go back.

True Texas BBQ catered to our organization of 450 people for our 4th of July BBQ event. They didn't disappoint whatsoever. The Store manager came 2 times to make sure that everything was exactly as we needed, and when we noticed we were going to need more food, she jumped into action and took care of us. Ja'nette went above and beyond and her customer service to our organization was tremendous. As the coordinator of the event, the food was top notch, and we can't wait to have them cater to our organization again. Thank you to Ja'nette and her team for making our BBQ event experience one to not forget! Rhonda Sams HR Coordinator for Lancer Worldwide read more

True Texas BBQ - Chopped brisket tadder - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The smoked chicken here is the best. I'm not usually a chicken person but this is the most tender, flavorful BBQ chicken I've probably had. The brisket is also great here. I like the rub they use which makes the ends get that perfect seasoned flavor. On Friday's they have beef "Dino" ribs available for $20 a piece while supplies last. They do sell out by the evening sometimes so get there early or call ahead to check. They are huge, messy, and oh so delicious but be warned there is quite a bit of fat attached to the meat. If you're into leaner cuts this probably won't be your thing. H-E-B has definitely proved that they can compete in the Texas BBQ world! read more

Where do I start? I love HEB grocery store, their products and quality are great. Now they've opened a barbecue restaurant attached to the store where they cook up the brisket, pork, chicken, and sides that they sell? This is genius. Their proteins are high quality and all natural, smoked on site, and both sides and desserts are made fresh in house daily. Shared a 3 meat plate with 2 sides and added on sausage to be able to try the majority of the menu: fatty brisket is great, smoked turkey is juicy, ribs (surcharge with combo) had good pull and flavor, sausage was just a touch spicy. Unfortunately they were out of the mac and cheese and cobbler I wanted, but my dining companion liked the slaw and their beans are out of this world, stewed with brisket and tomatoes. Maybe I've been out of Texas too long, but this counter inside a grocery store is putting out product that's competitive with what established barbecue restaurants are selling- which isn't a surprise, because HEB does not compromise their quality. I'm a fan, and will likely be back because the location is so convenient. TIP: Sign up for their text club (see store signage) for a free dessert. read more

I was not satisfied with the response I received on my complaint that I had previously submitted. When the online menu stated it included smoked chicken on the party packed. I called to inquire as to why my pack was missing the chicken, the young man stated we don't cook chicken anymore. Then I receive a call about my complaint and all I get was that she would speak to their marketing department. Well boo this did not help. read more

Well. There it is. Four stars for a grocery store bbq eatery. In my defense. HEB at one time had some dang good Chinese food, cooked right there in store. I had the three meat plate. $14 and some change. All the meats were delicious. Seasoned perfectly and smoked even better. The sides were very good also. Mac and cheese and potato salad. They were out of my first choice. Jalapeño Beans. The sweet tea was perfect and for a large at $2 it was priced just right. I sent in a text and received the banana pudding for free. It too was good but didn't taste like many I've had before the pudding was more of a fluff but still tasty. Will I come back? Yes. read more
