Whether you're a local resident or just visiting Rockwall, be sure to visit us soon for a dining experience that promises to satisfy your cravings for genuine Texas BBQ flavor. Planning an event? We’ll help you pull it off deliciously. From barbecue plates and sides to house-made desserts, choose from a range of catering options that are sure to impress everyone’s tastebuds.
We ordered a variety of the items because we were having trouble deciding what sounded best.
Ordering was fairly easy thru the True Texas BBQ app to pickup in the drive-thru. The order was ready on-time & brought out curbside to avoid having to wait in the line. 😏 super sweet worker on the drive thru speaker & brought out to my car (not sure if the same person)
Everything was still hot even after driving back home to Rowlett after pickup.
The portions were decent overall but especially good on the Loaded Brisket Chili dippers. HEB’s queso blanco is TOP TIER! I’ll make sure it’s on my regular shopping list going forward. 😋
The Texas-sized Pulled Pork sandwich was hefty & packed with flavor. Our kiddo loved the pickles and insists we will only be buying HEB pickles from now on. 😆
Brisket Birria Ramen should be a regular menu item versus limited time. I’ll be sad when it’s gone. So good, flavorful, a little kick of spice, and filling for the two of us that ate it. (We were a little skeptical/worried it would be a lot smaller but pleased with the container size)
Finally, we got the 2-meat plate with chopped brisket & poblano queso sausage. The sausage was 🔥🔥🔥 - Highly Recommend that!!
The sides we chose for the 2-meat plate were the potato salad & coleslaw. Potato salad was very tasty & the coleslaw was different but still delightfully good. I look forward to trying the other sides for future visits.
I wouldn’t say the brisket is the best I’ve ever had, however, it is very flavorful & did not disappoint. It tastes great in the brisket chili. And I would like to try it unsauced in the future to get a more “accurate” feel on how I really feel about it. I’m very picky about bbq sauces if/when I decide to use it so the brisket being sauced may be hindering my thoughts a little there.
The variety of choices we made cost less than a family pack & easily fed a family of 4 getting to try multiple menu offerings. Will definitely have again.

Ordered a pound of turkey. The portion we received seemed light. Erica gladly resolved the situation and gave us a extra to make up

Out of Diet Coke, Coke Zero, potatoes. At least 6 employees, with very few customers. No excuse to be out of anything. Sidewinder fries were cold.

I am a huge HEB fan. I love everything about them. But, just went into the BBQ place to pick up a to go order. Staff informed me they gave my order away to someone else with the same name as me. Said they don't use order numbers, just names. This has happened 3 times. And then I get to stand and wait while they remake the order. This time I said enough, and we went to get the store manager. He corrected the problem. Big thank you to the the store manager. Big not coming back to the BBQ staff...very much below the HEB standards I have come to expect.
