Chopped brisket sandwich
Kristen A.

Quick bite after shopping at H E B Order: 3 chopped brisket sandwiches. They were good, a little spice to them. I was starving after coming from the airport, and this was my first and only meal of the day. I gave 3 stars because the food tasted good, although my stomach was ANGRY AF the next day. I'm pretty sure I was food poisoned. I'm only in Texas every other year so I don't think this will be a spot that I revisit.

Smells terrible.

You have been warned... It's cold drizzly day - he wanted bbq. Apparently 4 slices of "not so lean" brisket is a half a pound..$11 You didn't read that wrong- 1.2.3.4 slices with fat on the lean ordered meat $11 Small side Potato salad looked green.... One taste told me it was bad. OLD. Immediately trashed. Mac n chz ... dry. See pix. Beans........ can you say congealed?!? Smells terrible- See pix Disgusting I'll never pay to eat there again. Having a cup of ramen ...that's how bad.

The misnamed Nashville Hot Smoked Turkey Sandwich
Jordana G.

As unbelievable as it sounds, the BBQ restaurant at HEB, smoked fresh in house daily, is terrific. It's a standalone restaurant inside the store that has tables or take out (order at the counter or via the BBQ app). The sit down area is cute, looks just like a typical BBQ restaurant (windmills and all), and they have Texas beers on draft and in bottles. I ordered the monthly special, the Nashville Hot Smoked Turkey Sandwich. While it had literally nothing in common with Nashville or their famous Hot chicken, it did sport a firey BBQ sauce, sliced pickles, a special vinegar based crunchy slaw and a ginormous pile of beautiful, moist, smoked turkey on a toasted bun. Talk about a great sandwich. I could only eat half. For a side I had the creamed corn, which was studded with charred corn for some extra smoky flavor. I washed everything down with a cold draft pint of St. Arnold's Lawnmower. If only grocery shopping was always be this enjoyable.

Love going here on Tuesday nights for trivia. Bbq is always great. $2 off draft beer.

Best Banana Pudding ever! I was so happy to give this a try and had great customer service as always!!

Fried okra, Mac and cheese

Out of fries... Out of ranch... Kinda don't understand that as they are located literally inside an HEB. Refried, yet cold and greasy, too salty fried okra... Mac and cheese gelatinous cold yuck... One redeeming part of the meal was the Cole slaw.. All in all pretty gross meal..really sucks all the BBQ places are closed on Sundays.

THE BEST BBQ! The…read morepeople running the place have such a comforting presence! The plating is very well done, you start with picking form options on the screen and meal options as well. At the cutting board, you will make your way down to the self serving beans and several other sides and toppings! You pay and fill your soda of choice. You can make your way to the right entry and there is several seating options inside. Or make your way outside where you see where the delicious meat is smoked. The meat is so tender and made with so much love it is the best comfort food. The potato salad is top tier I recommend 100%

Was so excited to try Bills after reading all of the positive reviews…read more It was disappointing to say the least. A complete and utter let down. Got the three meat plate ( ribs, pulled pork, and brisket.) The Ribs and pulled pork were tender hut that's where the compliments end. Both meats were severely under seasoned and there was no smoky flavor to be found. I just don't understand how the ribs could have such a nice red color from the smoke and lack any sort of smoky flavor. Thought to myself maybe the sauce can save the meat. Nope! The sauce tasted like it was having an identity crisis. Wasn't sweet or tangy and the texture was gloopy like a gravy. All it did was provide some moisture. Potato salad was average tasted like any ol potato salad you can get from Walmart or HEB. Coleslaw again average, tasted like I went to KFC and got a side of slaw from there. Finally the brisket. What a major letdown. Impressive looking bark on the outside but again lacked seasoning. Both the lean and fatty brisket were dry. How they manage to make fatty meat dry is beyond me. I've always heard that Texans take their brisket seriously and the brisket here just feels disrespectful. The atmosphere was okay. Clean and had a lot of local decor in the dining area. Final thoughts... don't waste your time. If this is the best BBQ in town you're better off going to another town to satisfy your BBQ cravings. What an absolute waste of time and money. What a disappointment.

Stopped by Acapulco's Mexican Restaurant while traveling for work. The vibe is a nice Tex-Mex…read moreatmosphere and we were seated immediately, even during the busy lunch rush. Service was quick, prompt and attentive, so i definitely appreciated that as I had limited time for lunch. I ordered the 2 beef fajita taco lunch special (7/10). The plate arrived fairly quickly and had good seasoned fajita beef with onions on a flour tortilla. A good portion of rice and beans were also included. The server even asked us if we wanted the green sauce which had a little more spice and it was a perfect addition to the meal. I would say I wished I had a little less onions and a few more strips of fajita beef with the meal. Overall, it was good lunch spot for a quick meal and the food was pretty decent and service was great! Prices were very responsible for the lunch specials at a little more than $.

Very much a mixed bag. Great, friendly service. Open and bright and fun interior with some fun wall…read moreart. Fairly reasonable prices. My wife really enjoyed her grilled chicken salad entree. I agree it was good, and the portions generous (including the avocado, a favorite of ours). My chile relleno... was disappointing and downright odd, honestly. I know the pepper is supposed to be fried, and that's cool. But it was heavily breaded... and I mean, there was at least half an inch of BREAD around the whole pepper. Not what I wanted. At all. After removing the fried BREAD exterior, what appeared to be a massive chile... was kind of flat and small and pitiful. And the cheese filling was very minimal. So I was very disappointed. So the place has potential, but the chile relleno recipe needs a total redo. Also, the Jesus welcoming the Camp Mystic young girl campers picture in the entryway really rattled me. I know its intent was in the right place, but we were in town during the flood last year and our daughter was at another camp... and that picture was like a gut punch. I couldn't believe how powerfully it affected me. Brutal. Definitely rattled me for the entire visit.

We took her…read morebrother and his wife, who have, miraculously not been to Camp Verde compound even after passing it by on their way to Bandera on many of their trips to the area. Anyway, it was a glorious day after 3 days of good soaking rain, which we badly needed in the hill country. The food has always been top notch grade here. The service is very efficient and professional. As for the ambience, the inside is bright and well lighted but to be impressed, you have to go outside. Since it was a glorious day of bright sunshine, coolish temperature and a very friendly breeze blowing, we had a time walking around the area. The surrounding area was lush and very green after the few days of rain! We had a lovely time taking pictures. My brother in law was very surprised about the camel story behind Camp Verde. Camels were used as experimental animals to carry provisions in the 1850's. They were stationed in this area. Unfortunately, the experiment failed because the soldiers hated the camels, who had a reportedly nasty disposition and soldiers ended up with motion sickness because of the animal's unusual walking gait. If you want to visit the area, now is a good time before the summer heat gets here. FYI, if you like Christmas, the gift shop here gets an early start in October! If you like Christmas decorations like my wife, come here and shop. They really fill up the gift shop with goodies!

Tons of history with this location. Unfortunately I did not eat here but I hear it's a local…read morefavorite spot. I did stop by the general store and enjoy the many trinkets and original finds. They even have a working post office. They used to do business with the Ft that trined camels in the 1800's for the Army. Great subject to explore for history buffs. The staff was very friendly and helpful and gave me a history lesson on the store and post office. You will not be disappointed by stopping by. Old history vibes.
