    Good food. Don't like the kiosks to order and it is ridiculous to require a phone number when I am standing right here to pick it up.

    Great food. Fast service. Just don't come here for the atmosphere. But who cares? BBQ is all about the food.

    My family has enjoyed True BBQ for years and their Mac and cheese is one of our favorites. However the new Mac and cheese that they introduced is not good. Not even close to what it was before. It felt like we ate Kraft’s microwaveable Mac and cheese. Please please please don’t continue with this version.

    $12 for an instant Ramen Bowl with added ingredients should be criminal. For them to use a $2 instant Ramen cup and add some ingredients (Smoked Brisket simmered in Birria Consommé) to it and justify an additional $10 for it is wild. The water wasn't even hot enough to get the noodles ready to eat. By the time the noodles were done the food was barely warm. Wouldn't recommend anyone to get this.

    Best bbq in the area and bonus it’s inside HEB! The nachos are my favorite and don’t forget the banana pudding!
