    My serving of creamed corn should be full like this picture.
    Sheryl L.

    Tried the one meat plate with brisket, brisket beans and creamed corn. I requested fatty brisket but one slice was fatty and the other was lean. I showed the picture to manager Travis who explained the way they cut the brisket, the top is fatty and the bottom portion is lean. He gave me another slice which was much juicier. The brisket had a nice smokey flavor. The brisket beans and creamed corn were warm, and should have been hotter. It was disappointing that the container was not filled to the top like the pic on the app. They should use a smaller container. Both sides were tasty but I felt the temp should have been hotter. I wish the order came with sides of bbq sauce. It's an inconvenience when you have to pump the bbq sauce into small containers. This experience was okay but didn't wow me.

    Burnt cornbread from True Texas BBQ.

    Normally, True Texas BBQ is reliably so-so BBQ. It's not the best, not the worst but it's convenient, being close by with the drive through with good service. But this evening, the convenience, and drive through service did NOT make up for the food. It was bad. First, the pulled pork sandwich and prime brisket sandwich and creamed corn were all cold. Not lukewarm, but cold. Off temperature food can make people sick. It was't the drive because I live only about 1 mile from the store. Secondly, there was no BBQ sauce. What BBQ restaurant doesn't serve BBQ sauce? Thirdly, the cornbread was burnt. I was shocked they would actually serve it to a customer. I attached a photo. The photo actually looks better than it did in person. The Apple slaw is a unique recipe that is not typical slaw. It had mixed reviews. My husband liked it but I didn't care for the flavor. Overall, we were very disappointed with the food. We know you guys can do better.

    Really appreciate the service people and use of the dinning area for the Challenge Entertainmenttrivia night on Thursdays!

    Brisket and sausage
    Chris C.

    Smelled amazingly smoky long before I entered! It is adjacent to an H-E-B. Not to crowded inside at 12:30 but did have alot of customers inside. 3/4 lbs of brisket and one sausage was $27 with a medium drink. Probably should have gotten 1/2 lbs but can always take some home. Took about 10 minutes to get my food. I did not think the meat was too fatty as some reviews stated. I do agree with the comments about the salt. Some pieces were awesome and some seemed heavily salted. Not sure why but the salt was a bit excessive. The sausage was good but the skin was a bit tough and chewy. The brisket had a good bark and a nice smoke ring. Overall it was pretty good. I was surprised by HEB bar b que. I would eat here again.

    Drive through!

    I was surprised by this grocery store bbq drive through. Food tasted fresh, flavorful, and fulfilling!

    So yummy BBQ right inside H‑E‑B. The brisket is so good. I wish they would offer samples for those that have never tried their food. The brisket was juicy, tender, fall apart, and smokey. You don't need sauce but I got some. The sauce is nothing to rave about. I got a bit or regular and spicy I prefer the spicy. Great customer service!

    This restaurant is attached to the HEB PLUS. What got me in here was the bbq smell permeating the entire store. I had heard great things about it and it did not disappoint. I ended up using the drive through and it was so convenient after I had just put all my groceries in the car. The pulled pork sandwich was great and was very reasonably priced.the convenience is unmatched.

    TWO strips of lean brisket in a one meat plate. Are you serious HEB?

    Two strips of meat for a 1 meat plate? Are you serious H-E-B? Terrible. Just terrible

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between laid-back Texas charm and a lively River Walk experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. I ordered the three-meat plate with the sausage, second-cut brisket, and smoked turkey, and every bite was outstanding. The brisket was tender and packed with smoky flavor, the sausage had the perfect snap and seasoning, and the smoked turkey was surprisingly juicy and flavorful. The baked beans and mac & cheese were fantastic sides that complemented the barbecue perfectly. To top it all off, I had one of the best mango margaritas I've ever tasted--refreshing, smooth, and the perfect pairing for the meal. And don't even think about skipping the complimentary bread with honey butter. It's warm, fresh, and absolutely to die for. Between the incredible food, excellent service, and unbeatable River Walk atmosphere, The County Line was one of the highlights of our trip to San Antonio. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again and will absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Five stars all the way!

Texas waffle: was one of the best waffles either of us has had in a long time Blueberry pancakes: very good. I really enjoyed the stewed blueberry Chilaquiles: this we felt was the only miss. Didn't like that it was prepared with tortilla chips instead of fried tortillas Steak and eggs: ask for extra chimichurri sauce and maybe add some extra salt.

I didn't need extra fat from avocado after the corn cakes since it doesn't add much flavor to the dish. The corn cakes are good and I will order again but not as good as some other cornbread. It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick.
