On Sunday, went to have a barbecue here at the H-E-B barbecue place. Placed order online at the…read moreKiosk at the entrance and checked in with the counter. Then we went and got a seat. Waited for our number/name to be called. There were two people behind the counter, both on their personal cell phones. There were tables around us that needed to be wiped down. Our number/name was called in a reasonable time. Upon receipt of the food it left a little to be desired for presentation. The meats were not very warm however they were warm. The food tasted good. When I went to get sweet tea or peach tea both were out. I went up to the counter informed the people that were both still on the personal cell phones. I went and sat down. The personnel did respond immediately to both teas being out and filled them. The ambience in the restaurant was very good. I did notice at the table next to me. There was a couple talking about several of the items I just mentioned. I just expected a little bit better from H-E-B. But this is twice now that I have been sort of disappointed with HEB's true Texas barbecue. Hope that H-E-B reads this and tries to do something about it. If the staff would pay a little bit more attention to detail of the restaurant, and the needs of the patrons, I think this would help out immensely.

I waited for 30 minutes for a side dish that honestly went to waste at my event. For the wait I was given one bowl of banana pudding--which was more popular than the Mac & cheese. Im upset that they didn't prioritize my prepaid order. But they were apologetic and tried their best to reconcile the issue. I would order from them again. It's definitely a great stop in and grab dinner spot. My favorite is the pulled pork sandwich.

This was our fist time in San Antonio, and our first BBQ there. It was good. And we went back twice…read morebefore we left. I ordered the brisket and burnt ends with creamed corn and the green beans. My wife had the brisket and chicken the first time and I think the sausage the second. For us coming from California this was a nice treat. The only issue was they ran out of chicken the second time we went. That did not effect me, but it did my wife and the her family who went with us. Would I go back, yes for sure. I would call before going to make sure they have not run out of anything to save yourself the disappointment of driving to them only to find out what you are craving is not there. Oh, and the sweet tea was amazing.

I'm done with this joint. I've been here 3 times in the last year and it's always been a disaster…read more First time was the loaded baked potato at over $12 a pop. Got it home and the potato was as hard as a rock. You've got to split that thing open to put the fillings in and they had the nerve to pass that on to a customer, no thanks. Second time was the BBQ sandwich that made me sick, awful experience. Third time was a couple of days ago. Again, the loaded BBQ baked potato. Thank you for cooking it thoroughly this time. Problem was the lack of meat on it. Just ridiculous! I paid $13.00 for a baked potato, oh yeah, I also got sick again. Never go here folks, you'll regret it!

In response to the May 18, 2026, review by Robin B…read more I disagree with the characterization presented in that review, as I was there and received the food upon your arrival. Thank you for taking the time to accommodate us at the last minute on one of the busiest weekends in San Antonio, GRADUATION TIME. While we were indecisive on whether to utilize your services, then agreeing, then canceling and then confirming a day and a half prior to the event, YOU came through! While most caterers would have not accepted the job, you did, against your better judgment. While the Brisket was not the quality that you are accustomed to serving, I understand time constraints prevented your usual 14 hour minimum cook time. I suggest in the future, that you do not offer that item if time does not allow. I know you were trying to give the customer what they want, but "No good deed goes unpunished!" When you brought the food it was more than what I was expecting for the number we provided. The chicken was INCREDIBLE, green beans and mac & cheese were quite tasty too. I know we only purchased food, and no set was required. Surely, you were not expected to provide sterno chafing stands and sternos for the very modest price! You did however supply decorative plates, utensils, cups, napkins, and all the condiments for our meal! This revealed your eye for details and mission to please! The items match the color scheme and decor we had, so I know you were in the spirit! You did more than enough. Anyone hiring you will be in good hands! I sincerely apologize for my sister's review and applaud your professionalism and service. I pray God's continued blessings over you and your business!

Local BBQ Public Service Announcement! Shout out to Cool…read moreVibes! We ordered the Meat Lovers platter with mac & cheese and coleslaw, and y'all...they understood the assignment! Every meat--brisket, ribs, chicken, and pulled pork--was so good we couldn't even decide on a favorite. Every bite had us saying, "Just one more!" The mac & cheese was creamy, the coleslaw was the perfect sidekick, and the whole meal was a home run. If you're looking for some seriously good local BBQ, do yourself a favor and check them out. Our only complaint? We should've ordered more! Happy 4th of July, and thanks, Cool Vibes, for making our holiday feast one to remember!

The ribs cooked to perfection and sooo flavorful. The slaw is perfect to breakup the savory and give it that nice crunch, the Johnny cake is perfectly dense and moist with slight sweetness that compliments everything.

Thank you for the great experience.

If you're comparing Flaming Bird smoked sausage with True Texas BBQ sausage, Flaming Bird is…read moresignificantly cheaper. Using the current prices: * Flaming Bird: $7.49 per pound. * True Texas BBQ: $5.00 per link, with one link estimated at about ¼ pound (4 oz), which works out to roughly $20.00 per pound. That means: * Difference per pound: about $12.50 cheaper at Flaming Bird. * Difference per ¼-pound serving: about $3.10 cheaper (around $1.90 at Flaming Bird versus $5.00 at True Texas BBQ). The reason for the price difference is that the two products aren't exactly the same. True Texas BBQ serves restaurant-style, pit-smoked barbecue sausage as part of its BBQ menu, while Flaming Bird's sausage is part of its rotisserie/grill concept and is priced more like a deli prepared food.

We were all suffering from ash juniper (mountain cedar) allergies and also were waiting for a furniture repair service to come. My wife suggested that I go to HEB and pick up barbecue from the True Texas BBQ. I went online and placed an order. It was ready for pickup when I arrived. I really liked the way they packaged the food. We ordered two loaded baked potatoes with chopped brisket, a turkey Little Buckeroo meal, and an order of brisket queso. The potatoes were delicious. They salted the skin the way my wife does. The brisket was smoky and the sauce on it was super tasty. The queso was amazing. We tasted it that night, but there was so much that my wife had it for dinner the next day. The prices are about the same as any other BBQ joint. The quality of the meat is just as good, if not better, than any other place I have gone to. I would eat from there weekly, and might just find a True Texas BBQ at an HEB in San Antonio and do that.
