    This was the first time coming into the store and it was Absolutely disgusting. My brisket sandwich was very cold and lacked flavor not only that the guy handing me my food was extremely rude. Do not recommend eating here at all

    HEB BBQ is a 10 out of 10. Vish is a 12 out of 10!!! Great food and even greater service. Vish, the the employee, took our order, wiping down tables after folks left and making sure her took care of us. Love to see happy employees loving what they do.

    As a third party delivery driver, when I go into your business, I can become a customer. However, if your workers such as “Alvin” the shorter gentleman on the left in the photo, wants to be extremely rude to third party drivers by not communicating with them and or ignoring their questions…you lose a customer as well as respect as a company. I shop here all the time, but the second I’m working third party- customer services becomes horrible. Very rude and very unprofessional but also it’s telling what kind of people get hired here.

    I have to admit when I first moved back to my home state of Texas after 25 years and saw that the prominent grocery store chain HEB had Texas style BBQ I was a little skeptical. I am the first to admit that was a big mistake. The BBQ is legit. The brisket is on point. All of the proteins hold their own when stacked up against some of the better stand alone BBQ joints I have been to. I’m not saying that they are the best in Texas because we all know Texas has the best BBQ on the planet. With that said HEB is the real deal. The sides are great and some of the specialty items like the Texas Torpedo Bacon wrapped brisket stuffed jalapeño poppers are amazing. If you want great BBQ at a price that won’t break the bank when feeding the entire family HEB’s Texas BBQ won’t disappoint. The employee that helped guide me thru this experience was Vishv Ajith. Thank you for your amazing service and your stellar recommendations.
