- SLSavanah Leleux5 days ago5.0Cecilia was the best. Service was fast and efficient. While dinning in they checked on me to make sure everything was good. Food is AMAZING and so is staff
- LLL LaveaDec 9, 20251.0So my mom and I were told to try this place from an actual chef ..we got a chopped beef baked potato and sausage links . This was probably the worst bbq I’ve ever tasted so far. My potato was dry like they didn’t even think to add butter.. cheese wasn’t melted and the meat has no flavor !!!! I almost thought I was eating dog food .. The sausage link was very dry and also had no flavor . I actually gave the rest of the food to my dog … The best thing I had from this place was the tea and that’s about it, but I will never in life stop at this place and waste any more of my money.
- ADArley Karina Duran de DelgadoNov 30, 20255.0Excellent service, pleasant place, and the food is super good.
- JQJesse QuinnNov 22, 20255.0HEB 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!
- JRJoshua RoperNov 17, 20255.0It's funny that the best bbq place is inside of a grocery store - but that's texas for ya!
