    Perfect brisket. Delicious potato salad. Nothing else need be said. This was an excellent pairing today. Got me in and out and I was thrilled to taste the food when I got home. Thank you!

    Honestly I never gave a second thought to trying a BBQ restaurant inside a grocery store. Then HEB said, watch this! I stopped in HEB around lunchtime for one of their meals and the aroma of Q pulled me in. It was a late lunch time so only a couple of people inside eating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is definitely Q and Texas themed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Who cares though....bow good is the BBQ? You can order from an electronic kiosk and pay right there too. So no miscommunications. I got the brisket sandwich, okra, potato salad and had to try their peach cobbler. All that for under $20. That impressed me even more. I had the order in less than 10 minutes and a 10 minute drive home. I was blown away by the brisket! Still very warm and a great taste. The bark was crispy and very tasty! The the fried okra knocked my socks off. Perfectly cooked extra crispy and amazing taste with just the right amount of spices. Then the mustard based potato salad impressed me. It was perfect! So I wondered. All that was so good....surely the cobbler can't match the same quality. Wrong! It was so good! Warm, great crust and peaches too!

    You can either order at the desk or order at the kiosk they have provided in the front. Ordering on the kiosk was easy. Food quality - so disappointing. The only thing I would go back for is the moist brisket. And their bbq sauce comes pre-packaged (we had to walk back up to the counter after getting our food because they didn't offer when we picked up our meals). The corn was ok.. it wasn't great but it was edible. The cornbread was a 0/10. It was so burnt on top that I thought it was a banana nut bread of some type.. I ate the inside to give it another chance and it was beyond dry. I couldn't even swallow that bite. wouldn't eat here again unless I try out the brisket sandwich.. maybe.

    We grabbed some BBQ on our way out of Texas. I have to admit I'm not a BBQ connoisseur at all, but I have had some pretty good BBQ elsewhere. We both got the 2 meat combo. I got sausage and chopped brisket with potato salad and mac n cheese for my sides. It was ok. The brisket was a little fatty but tasted good, the sausage had a nice spice to it without being over powering. I didn't care too much for the sides. The cheese in the mac n cheese was a little to thin and the potato salad was just ok. I liked that they gave you pickles and onions on the side. Oh, and the soft white bread was delish! Hubby got the pulled pork and jalapeno cheddar sausage with beans and corn bread. They were all ok. We also tried the peach cobbler and banana pudding. The cobbler had a little clove taste to it, which was different and the banana pudding was missing the banana flavor. Both BBQ sauces were pretty good. The staff was very friendly and polite.

    This is a review from the day after opening, accidentally posted to the wrong location! =) Most of these stars are for the staff and the sides. The staff, despite being ridiculously busy, were nothing but smiles. This was essentially a soft opening in the middle of the most overwhelming grocery store opening I've ever seen. I thought they did great. They kept the place clean and were walking around in case anyone needed anything. The food... was fine. The brisket is weirdly sweet and slightly sour at the same time. It didn't taste like any Texas brisket I've ever had and I've lived all over Texas. But the sandwich bun was great and my sister added coleslaw to it which she said was good. The ribs had a great flavor but they were overcooked, which is fine, they'd been open for like, 24 hours so not bad! The cornbread was slightly overcooked and a little dry but the flavor was good, I'd definitely get it again. Add a little of the cream corn and it was awesome. The mac'n'cheese and cream corn were my favorites, both were just on point, absolutely great. The corn was fire roasted, that just won the ballgame. If you were to add a little creamy habanero sauce and cotija or queso fresco, their cream corn could be elote. Another highlight was the pickles. They were so good and I was so sad I didn't get a container. Turns out they sell big containers of them in the cold meal ready area. My sister didn't tell me until we left the store. So, before I end this, I'll say I'm probably one of the only people in the south who doesn't like banana pudding. It's just not my thing, I haven't liked it since I was little. I tried a small bite of my sister's. I had to assert some serious will power to remain polite and not rip it out of her hands. It's delicious. I couldn't believe I was going to tell people I loved it, but I did. We'll be back for sure, overall it was a really positive experience.

    Food was ok but not good enough to come back. Order was ready very quickly. My baked potato didn't come with bacon or cheese but I took my food home so I couldn't ask them for some. I give them 3.5 stars EDIT: ended up finding a piece of paper in my sons cobbler luckily he didn't like it so I started eating it. Changing to 1 star

    I had a delightful experience at the new H-E-B Alliance True Texas BBQ. The approximately 20-minute wait, including ordering at the menu, went by quickly given the order size and line length. I thoroughly enjoyed the food; the brisket was tender, the ribs had great flavor, and the sausage was delicious. Additionally, Texas Torpedo's were excellent, but be cautious with the jalapeños as they can be quite hot. Lastly, all of the sides were good except for the cream corn which had an unusual overly creamy texture that I didn't prefer.

I also love the club sandwich and the grinder is great too. My husband doesn't eat "bowls" much but I got him to try one and he really liked the Korean steak, I tried a bite as well and thought the flavor was very good and not too spicy. I looooove their rice and I really appreciate that the veggie mix includes Brussel sprouts. Their avocado toast is a great breakfast as well. I've tried smoothies/juice/parfait and all were fine but personally I just prefer to go to Nekter or Smoothie King for that stuff. The rewards program is pretty decent as well! Random offers and deals are a nice surprise! They're getting plenty of my money and will continue to do so hahaha

Food is always ready on time, perfectly wrapped, great service, and most importantly - great tasting. Their cookies are huge & they are amazing. The sea salt caramel cookie is my favorite.

All of their sandwiches here are amazing & you get to choose the bread for any sandwich you choose. Every sandwich & every bread choice is so good. You cannot go wrong with this place & they have never disappointed me. I have lunch for 3 days & spend less than $20. It's so filling & so worth your money. Give it a try!

I'm a salt lover but honestly this was so salty I could not eat it. The crust stays on very well which typically I'd be impressed with but I could not (with a fork and knife) get it off of any one bite to be able to eat this chicken. The fries are covered in the same seasoning and so other than pickles (which don't really help) you have zero break in salt. The restaurant itself is in a perfect place to have a busy atmosphere. We are outside and it was really peaceful. Parking is a task as they have HEB right in the lot with other great places to eat. There is no service here as it is more of order and wait at the counter but as long as it's not a busy day that's is no worry. Overall I think it is clear I will not be back.

Overall, I enjoyed my visit with it being my first time trying it. I would go again.

She walked us through the menu and gave some recommendations. We had the Chef Joey Cabernet which was delicious. Next we ordered the charcuterie plate with the two procuittos (cooked and cured), truffle pecorino, and smoked Gouda. The boards were HUGE! I wish I had taken a pic. My husband and uncle both got the steak which looked delicious. My aunt got the lasagna and said it was really good. I built my own with the parm cream sauce and chicken parm meatballs- Avary said that was almost exactly her order and it was truly delicious. The portions were generous so we all had leftovers to bring home. Last was the cannoli experience which was so yummy and fun. It came with 6 mini cannolis in the order and plenty of fillings and garnishes to go around. Overall it was a delicious dinner and wonderful experience.

I also would like to try basil pesto or vodka sauce but the cream sauce was so insanely good with the pillowy gnocchi that I just don't think I could bear to not get it every time. I definitely would try the sausage meatballs, which my husband got and they were good. The steak meatballs were good but I really like steak-- I think it needs to be your thing. Overall, this has become my new need to go place in north Fort Worth when we are here. I'm going to be dreaming about this place.
