- JQJesse Quinn3 days ago5.0HEB does everything exceptionally well including BBQ. Got brisket and ribs. The brisket was good and smoky and pretty moist but the ribs were some of the best I've had. The serrano cornbread was perfect. The coleslaw was average for me. The little packs of toothpicks are a nice bonus!
- DMDavid MoynihanNov 18, 20254.0Good HEB service
- JRJoshua RoperNov 17, 20255.0It's funny that the best bbq place is inside of a grocery store - but that's texas for ya!
- JHjohn hallmarkNov 16, 20251.0love this place and have great food but…. they call burnt ends just the fat that was discarded
- NTNicholas TewOct 25, 20253.0Good food. Don't like the kiosks to order and it is ridiculous to require a phone number when I am standing right here to pick it up.
