Our True Texas BBQ restaurant and drive-thru opened on 11/2/22 in Plano at the southwest corner of Preston and Spring Creek. True Texas BBQ is slow smoked in-house for fourteen hours over natural hardwood, and it's darn delicious. So much so, it was named Best BBQ Chain in Texas as recognized by Texas Monthly. We offer barbecue by the plate or pound, plus delicious sides like brisket beans, mac & cheese, potato salad and coleslaw. Visit your nearby True Texas BBQ in Plano at 6001 Preston Rd soon!
I'm telling you, the brisket is UNRIVALED! I've been to a lot of the "famous" bbq spots in Texas, and this brisket measures up against any of them. I always request fatty brisket, and they do not disappoint. It is a wonderful, perfectly and expertly wrapped juicy mess when I get it home.
Note: BBQ (meat) is expensive nowadays and brisket (which used to be a cheap cut of meat) is no exception. Meat by the pound here is pricey, but excellent.
The rub on the ribs is WAY to spicy for me and I don't like the mouth feel of all that dry rub spice in my mouth. The sides are all mediocre imo, so I don't get those. But, hey, it's a BBQ place and it is great for that. I wish I lived closer to the store.
The service is counter service and varies greatly from store to store. I've been to two or three in the Houston area. ) Some employees ask all the right questions--what kind of sauce, etc., some ask nothing. I received no sauce with ribs at the Plano store bc i thought it would be in the bag.
Atmosphere? It's in a grocery store, for Pete's sake. The atmosphere is irrelevant. LOL. (Unfortunately, not all HEBs have bbq.)

Let me clear some shit up right now, stop hating on this place. I ordered a 2 meat plate with 2 sides. Oh my god the food was plentiful and delicious. St.Louise ribs were good size and tender, Brisket was A-1 you actually taste the smoke in this meat and the seasoning and the sauce. Let me say you can taste the love. Give them they ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sorry about pick had to get it in and it’s gone LOL

The BBQ was really good. I got a pulled pork sandwich. The customer service was good as well. The sides are not good. I got the coleslaw and it had too much mayo. I swapped it the greens and they tasted like they were directly out of a can. The banana pudding didn’t …really taste like banana pudding. It was kind of a sugary mess.
