    First of all, Patti, Grecia, and Jesus all gave us the most outstanding service tonight and made our whole day! Just the absolute nicest and most helpful! The loaded potato w/ pulled pork, brisket chili, & jalapenos added was great, the sausage link and sandwich were both delicious, and the collard greens and creamed corn were all good, too. Solid food, incredible staff, & good vibes all around! Plus super convenient for HEB shoppers.

    Try the brisket baked potato! You won’t be disappointed. The sweet tea is on point, as is the banana pudding. I feel a nap coming on. It was all so good.

    Im sure there're other and cheaper deals on the menu, buuuut, maybe just add some brisket chili to a chopp briskit tater....and use somebody else's bathroom on the way home (stop over at the super-#1-austin vape shop across the street, super nice can, they let you use it any time). 😉 ❤️ Edit: ["Bet you will."] [...as long as you dont mind being treated and spoken to as if you are stealing somehow. It's a store-wide issue. Their restrooms have super awesome stand-up-deuce receptacles too!]

    Good ole HEB-! You did it again! I swear by their barbecue and what makes it better is there are no lines and easy parking. Love the brisket and the sides. The only part that breaks my heart is having to leave to go back to Calif where there is sadly- no HEB! 💔😢
