    I came into the Mueller H-E-B, rushing to get there before the South Flo Pizza kitchen closed. I asked the woman running the kitchen if I had enough time to order, even though I knew I was cutting it a little close. She was cleaning her area and prepping the kitchen to close, but she responded "We don't close until 9." in a very calm and sweet manner, making me feel comfortable enough to order. She stopped what she was doing and immediately got to work on my pizza after my order went through. My pizza was ready in a matter of minutes, and it looked and smelled DELICIOUS! I thanked the woman, named Bianca, for being so sweet and kind even though I had placed my order right before the restaurant closed. She is always there (alone, based on what I see) when I come to order my pizza and she runs that place like the Navy. She is quick, precise, and kind, and I can always ensure that my pizza will come out perfect! I'm taking the time to write this review as a huge thank you to Bianca from the Mueller H-E-B for being so generous and making my pizza even though the restaurant was about to close. I will make sure that I come in early enough next time so that you (Bianca) don't have to stay any later than you're scheduled. Trust, I'll be back over and over and over again because the food and customer service was exceptional! Thank you so much again Bianca!

    I had a 2 meat barbecue plate with 2 sides AND a poblano queso sausage sandwich AND a peach cobbler. You know why I ate so much? Cause it was top tier. At first I thought, a dining hall in HEB? Um, okay. But then I was like HEB doesn’t make anything bad so let’s try. I’ve got to say, I worked at a barbecue for fifteen years but this True Texas Barbecue is better than my old restaurant which I thought couldn’t be topped. The turkey was moist and juicy. The spicy barbecue sauce had a perfect kick. The burnt ends were mouth watering and dissolved in my mouth. The barbecue beans are my new favorite beans. The Mac and cheese was flavorful. And the poblano queso sausage…I went right back in the store and bought some to cook at home. The peach cobbler was hot and fresh as well. I hate to say it but I’m going to be sending you a lot of business. Great job.
