Went through the drive through, super slow, but other than the beans, which are delicious,that was the best part. This is the most expensive and worst BBQ ever have had. $29 for 2 meat brisket and ribs, plus a peach cobbler. The ribs were small and tasted like cooked in an oven without even liquid smoke and the single slice of brisket was 75% solid fat piece. Won't be back at these prices and small portions.
Such a bummer, but good for other local BBQ places.

Ordered to go twice in the last couple of weeks since they opened in Rockwall. First time, they got our orders wrong, mixed up and missing items. We thought it was due to the new staff and overwhelming demand. Well yesterday we ordered food and it wasn't busy at all. The order was missing bread and corn bread, the chopped brisket was more of chewed out meat than chopped, the sausage was ok. Called and spoke to the manager (Ronnie I think) and she was so nonchalante and never apologized. I don't understand the attitude of a manager in this location treating someone who paid for their food. Worst customer service and we won't be going back. She had nothing to say except "oh I see your cornbread on the counter"... Really. Do better, you lost a customer and many more because you don't hire the right people.

Everything was great. It took a bit longer than I’m used to as it was 25 minutes. The ice was out, bbq sauce was out and I was charged $2.00 for sauce I never received. The sandwich was good, but dripping with grease. The mac n chz was tasty and I was pleasantly surprised with the apple cobbler. The tea tasted fresh brewed and the strength and color were great, could be a bit sweeter imo. So glad you’re here, we love the store!!!

This was my first time ever eating at True Texas BBQ. I ordered the two meat plate that comes with two sides. I chose the St. Louis Pork Ribs, Brisket (fatty), creamed corn, and collard greens. The ribs were some of the most tender and delicious ribs I've had. The brisket was cooked perfect too and tasted delicious. All of the staff were kind, helpful, pleasant, and ready to assist at all times. Melinda was extremely nice and I appreciated her smiling and enjoying what she was doing. I would definitely recommend this place for the food and customer service. I will be back!

Very good Texas authentic BBQ! Sides were fantastic! Sides were very good portion sizes. BBQ was definitely weighed and you were getting probably exactly the amount of meat (in a cup), so plan that out when you order. After the full cup sides, none of us left hungry so it was fine! Plenty of sauce because it is on your own in jump bottles like a ketchup pump would be. Drinks were awesome too, nice big cups with fountain stations. The sauce, dribks and silverware, etc. are upstairs and downstairs, so that was great when crowded!
Food came out fairly quickly, maybe max 10min wait. Just enough time to get drink filled and find a table upstairs...then food was ready. Do wish they had a buzzer for those going to sit upstairs during super crowded times.
The kiosk was not perfect, had no receipt paper and then got no receipt at all (not even a text receipt because we had already selected paper).
