    We had True Texas BBQ cater our wedding at Canyonwood Ridge in October and they were amazing!! Lisa was so wonderful to work with from the planning to the day of the wedding. And the food was incredible. We got so many compliments on the BBQ from all of our guests! The turkey and brisket were cooked perfectly and the sides were delicious. Plus we had banana pudding for dessert which was a huge hit! My husband and I are die hard HEB fans and this is why!! Could not recommend more.

    Could not have had a better experience. HEB BBQ catered my wedding. They were amazing. Lisa helped me plan my event and made thoughtful suggestions through out the process. She gave me her phone number so I could text with questions or last minute changes. The food was fantastic, restaurant quality, professionally served… I could go on and on. They stayed to clean up and hauled away the trash. This was one of the best catering experiences I have had from any company. I could not recommend them more and was thrilled with the service they provided.
