    This new H-E-B location on South Congress is phenomenal, and I want to specifically mention their BBQ. I was assisted by Nathan, a guy who had a smile on his face and a true gift for service, even though it was nearly 8:00 PM. He made sure everything my family and I wanted to order was in stock, taking the time to confirm it for us. It goes without saying that the brisket, turkey, and pulled pork were delicious, as always, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you, H-E-B, for always having such great staff and high-quality products.

    Fantastic! I’m visiting from Spokane, WA and we came here twice for BBQ and banana pudding. Desiree was great and helped us both times. If I wasn’t leaving tomorrow, I’d be back again soon!
