    Thank you to ELIZABETH, JIMMY, and PAUL! You all are awesome. We were craving good BBQ after a church concert we attended so i immediately checked on google and they close at 9pm. We arrived 10 minutes before closing... they were cleaning, sweeping and mopping... despite having a long day they honored and received us. They went above and beyond.

    Until sold out
    Paul P.

    Arrived at 11am, opening time. Little frenetic because aimless employees. There is One register and then One touch screen to handle customer orders. The elevator takes you to a second floor dining area. The one guy there on a register, already slow, then answers the phone and lazily explains the hours and yes we are open and where we are located, etc... They call your name and you go up and get your order. It is grocery store brisket yall. Just like you go in to the HEB deli and get a sandwich, it's average. . But it ain't the same as Lenny's, Jersey Mike's etc... I had the sliced brisket sandwich. Macaroni n cheese, fried okra, and the serrano corn bread. The brisket was way too salty, honestly Bill Millers is better. The mac n cheese is really cheesy, it tastes good and I appreciate the strong cheese. The best part of my meal was the serrano cornbread, it tastes like tamale masa and with dollop of sweet butter on top it's like a dessert.

    Lean brisket.

    The food was fantastic highlighted by the best lean brisket. I've had in quite some time. Employees were kind and polite. Ambience is a little sterile, but you'll be too focused on your meal to notice!

    No Meat Baked Potato
    Krystalynn U.

    As a vegetarian, this probably wasn't the smartest place for me to choose to eat lunch, but my family wanted to go, and I wasn't gonna stop them. I got the baked potato, which was cooked all the way through and was nice and warm I felt like the flavor Was lacking a bit, a little salt and pepper could go a long way. My family had the brisket plate and a sandwich. The mac & cheese was very classic, and the barbecue sauces were classic as well. The spicy barbecue sauce is way better than the original sauce, and not very spicy at all. It's nice that they mark which options are vegetarian, so I didn't have to question whether The dish had some sort of meat by product. ANYWAYS, not a bad spot for an easy, casual lunch, and thankful that they had at least some vegetarian options!

    2 Two Meat Plate  Brisket, turkey breast, Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese Cornbread w/ Honey Butter

    I was curious about this place after hearing about it during the renovation and the marketing push HEB has been done; and HEB you did it right. When they say true Texas bbq they mean it. I appreciate how you can walk on and order at the counter or the kiosk. Staff is super friendly and enthusiastic about what they're serving and who they're serving. It's a casual dining setting with seating downstairs and upstairs. Pricing is better than most bbq places these days. Rarely when I visit a bbq restaurant is everything good. Usually it's great bbq and the sides are ok. Not here!! Everything was delicious. Brisket was tender, juicy and what you expect from classic brisket. The turkey breast was juicy and flavorful. The sides....hats off to whoever is the culinary director for HEB. Sides were not overlooked. The collard greens were amazing. Normally I prefer hot sauce with my greens but these greens needed absolutely nothing. The Mac & cheese was creamy and cheesy. I like how the sidewinder fries were done. Crispy and soft on the inside. Even the Serrano cornbread was great. Chef kiss and salute to you, HEB!! Well done....well....done

    This is what they said and this is what I got

    I will start off by saying that I was very excited for this! I know they are getting there footing but the wait was forever. There were maybe 5 people in here and it took us at least 15 minutes to get through the line ( one person in front of us) and when we did get through the poor guy didn't know how to work the register? We waited almost another 20 minutes to get the food. The brisket was good but the wait was so long and the banana pudding tasted like frosting. It's very clean and affordable but I don't like staying that long waiting in line or waiting after for the delivery.

    Very good and inexpensive. Meat was very good and authentic with a real smoke taste. Brisket beans were the best 8.2/10

    Some of the best fast food bbq. The chili is good and the loaded baked potato is delicious. My go to is the sliced brisket sandwich.

It's the kind of place folks drift into and, before long, start calling their own. The people there carry themselves with quiet pride--no fuss, no show--just a steady hand at their work and a genuine welcome for whoever steps through the door. The menu ain't thrown together. It's been shaped with care, like a well-tuned string on a guitarra, each choice meant to stand on its own but better still when taken together. The flavors come through bold and honest, with a little flourish here and there--nothing overdone, just enough to remind you somebody back there knows what they're about. It's a small spot, sure, but that only draws folks closer. Feels a bit like gathering under a shaded porch after a long day--easy talk, shared laughter, and the sense you're among friends, whether you've known 'em years or just met 'em. Every greeting carries the warmth of old ties, like you've been welcomed back rather than simply let in. And the food--well, it doesn't hold back. Each bite's got a richness that settles in and makes you slow down, take notice, and then go back for more. It's the kind of meal that stays with you, the way a good story does. Spend a little time there with friends, and you'll come away knowing you've found something true--a place where the spirit of San Antonio, with its charro heart and neighborly ways, lives on in every plate set down and every hand extended in welcome.

    Unpopular opinion incoming: I'm not overly impressed. A good sandwich is one of my favorite things,…read moreso this joint's been on my radar for a while. So, when co-workers wanted to go yesterday, I jumped on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the vibe of this place. I LOVE their story. It's very NY/Northeastern deli feel (they're from Pittsburgh, but you get my drift, right!?). No nonsense. Small inside area. No tables inside. Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.

Service was prompt, and the ambiance is a funky cross between a bakery and a diner. Parking is easy in their private lot. I first tried their 'Texas Style' pastrami Reuben sandwich. This is smoked pastrami brisket, served with on their house-made marbled rye and topped with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and garlic aioli. Quite a bit different than a NYC-style sandwich. The aioli instead of dressing, thicker slices, etc etc. But wow, did it taste good. It's as if a pastrami Reuben and a sliced smoked brisket sandwich had a love child who inherited the best from each parent. I also tried their salmon gravlax on an 'everything' bagel. This bagel was baked in-house, topped with the cured salmon, cream cheese, tomato, red onion, capers, and a sprig of dill. Rustic, beautiful, and delicious. Definite recommend! This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh.

I think the reason I didnt "love" the pizza is because its so different with the sourdough base and not what i am used to. I would like to return and try a sandwich or something else on the menu. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. My main reason for trying out wild barley was because they have sour beers, it wasnt the best sour beer i have ever had, but i have noticed in Texas the sour beers have a strange taste to them that i cant quite put my finger on. Overall though it was refreshing and cold. my husband really enjoyed the cider. We will be back and i hope after trying something different on the menu to change my review to 5 stars,

Parking: They have a parking lot. We were with my hubby, dad, and stepmom, and they had never been to a Mexican bakery, so I had to do a lot of explaining. We got three items from the bakery: a bread one with cream and blueberries, a flaky cup-shaped one with cream, and a triangle flaky one with guava. They were phenomenal! Our fam got one of the flaky cup-cshaoed ones and another cupcake-shaped one that was bread. They loved them both and said they would be back later for more, or tomorrow morning. For our meal, we shared the chicken ranchero Benedict, and it was so tasty on delicious sourdough bread! We used the bread to soak up all the runny yoke and sauce from the meal. There was not a trace of anything left on the plate. Our fam got scrambled eggs and bacon and said it was yummy. They all drank water, but I enjoyed a hot tea latte.

This place may look like a tourist trap, but it operates as a local café with incredible vibes. It errs on the expensive side, but to be fair I think everything is worth it. El buenos dias was very good, and the bread was perfectly toasted. I did not like the beans but that was not the focus. There was so much avocado and a perfect amount of tomatoes. The egg whites were cooked perfectly and they were super fluffy. The bacon and the turkey were outstanding in quality and taste. The pan dulce was to live for. Try the Dubai chocolate and mini chocolate ones. It's worth the hype. Just go ahead and check it out.
