    Our wedding was a few days ago at Magnolia Creek Ranch in Princeton, and we had food catered from this location in McKinney. There was a last-minute cancellation from the driver who was scheduled to deliver the food, so the manager Shane stepped up to save the day and our reception. We had over 100 guests to feed and he put the food in his own car then delivered to our venue as quickly as possible, which we greatly appreciate. He took care of things so quickly, no one even noticed there was a delay. The food was excellent and the quality of service from Shane truly represented the HEB brand. I have always been a loyal HEB customer since I'm originally from the Houston area and thankfully you have several stores here now, so I can continue that. Thank you so much to HEB in McKinney and especially Shane for helping to make our wedding reception special!

    This was my second time getting bbq from this location and I must say the experience each time was GREAT!! The young lady who assisted me & also made suggestions was Tiffany. Omg...she was so nice and helpful. Customer service at its best! I did takeout and it was amazing. The ribs, brisket and sides were very flavorful and still hot when I made it home. The flavored teas were an added bonus. I give it a 10 out of 10 and will be returning.
