True Texas BBQ

Hyde Park's grocery-store smokehouse secret
True Texas BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Austin, TX. Listed categories include barbecue, restaurant.
The 41st Street store runs True Texas BBQ — H-E-B's in-house smokehouse — with the same serious program as the rest of the chain, tucked into the grocery store for the Hyde Park side of town. It's a neighborhood secret in plain sight: shoppers walk past it every day, and the ones who stop find genuinely smoked barbecue at grocery-store prices.
The smoked brisket leads with a real bark and the H-E-B brisket rub, and the pork ribs come tender under a light glaze. Smoked sausage snaps, the pulled pork sandwich handles the quick lunch, and the smoked turkey holds moist. Dependable across the day and easy on the wallet, it's the Hyde Park answer for a barbecue plate you didn't plan on but are glad you found — the supermarket smokehouse doing honest work on 41st Street.
