    This place has mediocre BBQ at a 5 star dining price. You are in a grocery store, next to the deli and salad. A 3 meat dinner has a serving size of 1/4 lb. Per meat. Small portions at a huge price. Also a 3 meat has a variation in price depending on which meats you get from between 17$ and 35$. I asked the servant which meats are 17 and which are 35 and he said, It depends on which meats you order. I guess he flips a coin or something to figure out which meats costs what.

    Always great BBQ here. At first I was hesitant on getting BBQ from a grocery store but decided to try it one day. Since that day HEB BBQ is what I prefer above just about everywhere else! Always great and polite service! Thank you!
