    If you haven’t tried True Texas BBQ inside H-E-B Hancock Center, fix that immediately. The burnt ends own my heart, the short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy perfection. I was loading up my tray like I was training for a professional eating competition AND zero shame. Shoutout to Jay for the A1 service and for keeping me laughing the whole time. Check it out if you have the chance.

    The food at HEB True Texas Bar B Q is always flavorful and on point. Jay makes every visit even better! He's friendly, welcoming, and always smiling when I walk in. Between the great food and his positive energy, it feels like I get double the treats every time 🙌🏼

    Chris and Anthony at the Hancock Center were wonderful and went above and beyond to help their customers. I walked into the True BBQ when to order when the system went down, they took everyone's order that was there and didn't charge for the food even when the system came back up.

    Amazing value for money at this place for BBQ. The fatty brisket was out of this world. This location also can provide sidewinder fries which are excellent. And to top it off, they have smoked chicken for a limited time, which I totally recommend you try. Staff are excellent here too, so helpful and friendly.
