  If you’re looking for authentic BBQ at a price that doesn’t punch you in the wallet, this place delivers exactly what real barbecue lovers want. From the moment you walk in, you can smell the smoke and seasoning that tell you they’re doing things the right way—slow, low, and with real attention to craft. The meats are the star here. The brisket is tender with that deep, barky crust you only get when someone actually knows what they’re doing. The ribs pull clean from the bone without falling apart like overcooked meat. The sausage has that snap you expect, packed with flavor instead of grease. And the pulled pork? Juicy, smoky, and seasoned just enough that it doesn’t need sauce—but their sauces are good enough that you’ll probably use them anyway. What really sets this place apart is the value. You’re getting high-quality, properly smoked meats for prices that are honestly hard to beat. Most places either overcharge for mediocre food or cut corners to keep things cheap. Here, you get the real deal—authentic BBQ, generous portions, and a total that makes you feel like you actually got more than what you paid for. The sides hit the mark too. Whether it’s the creamy mac and cheese, fresh slaw, or the classic potato salad, nothing tastes mass-produced. Everything feels like it was made the same day, by people who care about the details. Service is friendly, quick, and straightforward. No fake enthusiasm, no rushing you—just good hospitality. They treat you like someone they want to see come back, not just another order to get out the door. Overall, this spot is exactly what a BBQ joint should be: honest food, honest prices, and real smoke. If you want authentic BBQ without paying tourist-trap prices, this place is absolutely worth your time. I’ll definitely be back.

  I always stop by for BBQ here after shopping at Heb. You order on a kiosk. A whole meal for two was around $36. The bread, pickles, BBQ sauce, sour cream, etc. were all free. I love their ice tea! We had the fatty brisket with greens, mac and cheese, brisket beans.

  Shopping and waiting for our meds at the pharmacy. What a great place to just chill and enjoy some very good pulled pork! The brisket was sold out and I will try it next, for sure! Done in true HEB fashion! 😋

  Quality of food was outstanding and Service was great! The team member John made sure to check in with me to make sure everything was to my liking. I didn’t catch the gentleman’s name working the line, but both deserve recognition. The gentleman working the line even came out to assist another guest with her kiosk order. As someone who managed a very well-known BBQ establishment in Austin, yall are blessed to have employees who understand what great service looks like!
