    The almost full beer.
    Juli S.

    Came in at 7:30 for a bite and a brew. Out of brisket, fryer turned off. Server had no joie de vivre--we felt like jerks for being there the way she interacted with us. Hours marked clearly to 9pm (see picture). She gave my fiancé a 3/4 pour after she poured out a 2/3 full pour because she couldn't figure out how to tilt to reduce the head. The pour before a sip is pictured. Mine was okay. Thank goodness the taps were still open and the glasses were clean. Seems a small miracle, considering. I'm thinking it's an epic ploy to make sure you are still hungry when you go grocery shopping (fatal error)--well played, H‑E‑B. Still love H‑E‑B!!!!!

    The new HEB McKinney location opened last week and I had the chance today to stop by for BBQ. The wait wasn't long and the dining area has plenty of tables. There are several beers on tap and it's cold. I ordered the stuffed spud with turkey and it was great. I will be back in the near future if not to dine in or to take away. They have a drive thru as well. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy!

    I wouldn't go out of my way to visit TTB, but if you happen to want a quick bite before grocery shopping, it is conveniently located within HEB grocery store. Three of us came at lunchtime on a weekday. I ordered the special Banh Mi sandwich, but they were out of the bread. Sad. So, I had brisket nachos. They aren't bad, but didn't have any sort of salsa, chopped tomato component that would have made them much tastier. My hubby got sliced brisket, which a a bit dry. They do have sodas/ ice tea refill station, so if you are thirsty... that's a plus. For a fast-food BBQ place it was ok.

    I love their BBQ but i think its on the expensive side. Ibalways order the bahn mi. Pros Taste great, fresh meat and customizable Cons Bread is super hard. They need to toast it.

    Absolutely the worst tasting BBQ Sandwich Ever!

    This is the not True Texas BBQ! I ordered a large turkey sandwich and a 1/4lb of moist brisket. Put the brisket on top of the turkey for combo sandwich. The Turkey was supper dry and the brisket La lack flavor. Something was supper salty o think the turkey was it or the sauce. Either way stay away this is not good Texas BBQ. I guess I will go wait in line at Hutchins.

    Mckinney H‑E‑B is doing better bbq than frisco so far lol. They chopped it up properly, tender, it's well sauced. Not rough chopped & dry like frisco. I didn't think to take a pic before we started chowing down. The employees were very friendly too. :)

    Another AMAZING visit at True Texas BBQ! Service was very quick and partners were super friendly. Food is always 10/10 and would definitely recommend checking this place out!

    Love the BBQ and the service. We love the casual ambiance and family-friendly staff. My hubby and I have dined in once and ordered takeout, as well as driven through several times now since they opened. It had become one of our favorite BBQ places near us, 5 minutes door to door! The moist brisket and ribs are our favorite, as well as the El Heffe and El Jeffa sandwiches. But our new favorite is the amazing new Banh-Mi Brisket sandwich! Delicious, juicy & spicy, just like we like our food. Our favorite BBQ in town is Hutchins BBQ on east side downtown McKinney, but their prices have risen so much, we can only afford to go once a year as a family, and maybe another time just the two of us. True Texas BBQ is our very close 2nd favorite here, not even kidding. We appreciate the reasonable prices, but especially the delicious food that fills us up and keeps us coming back. So happy to have H-E-B and True Texas BBQ super close to us finally. We didn't know what all the fuss was about because so many people around us were talking up how amazing they are, but now that they're here, and we've been there and tried it for ourselves, we believe them.

    I highly recommend True Texas BBQ McKinney. Their staff is very friendly, efficient and provides great service. Fatty Natural Brisket, Baked Potato and Brisket Nachos are my favorite. I tried their chicken tenders (naked) and fried okra for the first time and it did not disappoint! I also love their tea specially the Mango flavor. Their restaurant is clean and very convenient since it's inside HEB grocery. This is my go to BBQ restaurant. I've tried so many other BBQ restaurants in the area but True Texas BBQ is always on top of my list because of their food, pricing, service and location.

    This is the most delicious thing ever!!!! This place is amazing come by and try some!!!

    This place is highly recommended! Fresh, delicious and always amazing! Come and check it out!!!!

We…read morewere visiting Texas for a month and ended up eating here once or twice a week--and we have zero regrets. The mac & cheese with little bits of bacon mixed in is to die for, and the creamed corn is hands down the best I've ever had. Every meat we tried was incredible--the brisket, beef, ribs, and chicken were all cooked to perfection with amazing flavor. One thing we really loved was the multiple seating areas and the large community-style tables. They create such a welcoming atmosphere, and we ended up striking up conversations with people we had never met before that turned into some really great conversations. It made the whole experience feel even more like true Texas hospitality. What really made us keep coming back, though, was the staff. They were so friendly and even remembered who we were when we came back to dine in again, which made us feel so welcome. And don't even think about leaving without the banana pudding. It seriously tastes award-winning and is one of the best I've ever had. The fact that it's free for dine-in guests makes it even better--you'll definitely be going back for a second helping! We can't wait to come back to Texas just so we can eat here again. Hutchins Barbeque is now one of our favorite barbecue spots anywhere.

    Bbq was very good, seasoned well and the bbq sauce really was a standout. I don't usually do a lot of sauce.  Spicy was delish.

Thankfully, there was plenty of shade from umbrellas, and it was a great spot for people-watching with lots of foot traffic passing by. Now for the important part--the BBQ. My son and I split the two-meat plate with brisket, pork ribs, mac and cheese, and beans. The brisket was legit--moist, flavorful, and with a nice bark, although I would have liked it a little crispier. The pork ribs were just okay; they were a bit on the dry side. That said, their BBQ sauce was excellent. I'm usually not one to sauce good ribs, but in this case it definitely elevated them. The mac and cheese was probably the biggest surprise. It was rich and gooey, topped with feta, chives, and shredded cheddar. Not a combination I would have expected--or ordered--but somehow it really worked. The only real disappointment was the beans. They arrived cold and were a bit bland, especially by Texas BBQ standards. Overall, it was a solid 4-star experience. The brisket alone is worth trying, and I'd definitely come back to work my way through more of the menu.

Still, if we had not been getting carryout, it seemed like a pleasant place to sit down and eat, too. This is order at the counter service, and they were happy to explain things to this non-native. Everything was carefully packed to maintain temperature and avoid spills. I enjoyed the brisket with spicy sauce, though I have since heard some people really prefer the moist type, I think dry was right for me. I got a side of coleslaw so I could get my veggies in; it had a creamy yet not too heavy dressing. The stuffed potato was tasty, especially with all the recommended toppings, but it was the size of a small football! I had to put half of it in the fridge.

My favorite part of the whole experience was the sausage (how do you mess that up?) and the potato salad. I think I'm just finding that it's better to smoke your own meats at home. Half the price and 100x better. Service also wasn't the best. Lady at the register was dead inside. I could tell this was the last place she wanted to be today. Side note: waving your hand in the air to call my attention when I am not looking your direction is no way of letting a line of people know you are ready to take their order. "Next guest, please!" goes a long way. Possibly why she was so irritated when I finally got to the counter.

They're only at the Frisco Fresh Market on weekends but I think they cater also. If you plan on visiting them at the farmers market, make sure you get there early.

From the oxtails, to the collard greens or cabbage, the mac n cheese or dirty rice, everything is well seasoned and delicious.

More often than not the best bbq has been sold out. This place is still finger licking good and if anything, has somehow become even more delicious. The flavor is incredible, the burnt tips will take you to heaven and the beans are a flavor explosion of happiness and magic. There's always a crazy line but don't be discouraged. You get your food pretty quick, in less than 15 minutes. I sound like a star struck fan but this place is that friggn good. My only complaint to the owners is, please please PLEASE open up more locations. Such phenomenal barbecue should be shared for the rest of us fatties.
