True Texas BBQ
SoCo's in-store answer to a barbecue craving
True Texas BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Austin, TX. Listed categories include barbecue, restaurant.
The 2400 South Congress store puts True Texas BBQ — H-E-B's in-house smokehouse — right in the middle of the city, turning out brisket, ribs, and sausage with the chain's signature rub. It's the SoCo-area answer when a barbecue craving hits during the grocery run, and it satisfies that craving with more legitimacy than the setting would suggest.
The smoked brisket carries a genuine bark and a clean smoke, sliced for plates and sandwiches, and the pork ribs come tender with a light glaze. Smoked sausage snaps, the pulled pork sandwich is the fast pick, and the smoked turkey stays moist. Quick, consistent, and affordable, it's the kind of place that quietly proves the grocery-store pit has become a real part of Austin's barbecue map — one central-city craving at a time.
