For quick and cheap BBQ, you’re not going to do better than True Texas BBQ. The Brisket is solid, especially for the price. The ribs could go toe to toe with some of the best smokehouses in Austin.

I asked for a loaded cornbread with brisket and this is what I got. Maybe because its the end of the day and you get what you get but I’m disappointed for it to be my 2nd time. The first time it was brought to me it was a whole presentation and it was so delicious!

Very solid quick quality bbq. Not much for sides here but they have some basics. Smaller portions but they are filling. The meats have been very good. You use kiosks here. BBQ then next door duck fat fries.

I eat at slaughter weekly tried Mueller definitely not even close to the same brisket was dried out sitting warmers and burnt ends were served in a bowl with half of it filled with bbq sauce. Closer to chopped brisket then burnt ends heb you should do better cause that location should get a 0 star

For $21 I got 2 chopped beef sandwiches, 1 small potato salad, 1 small Mac & cheese – great price for fast bbq. Recommend this spot if you have a bbq craving but are on a budget and in a hurry. Only thing I would recommend to true tx bbq is thickening up the mac and cheese – it was a little runny but still good taste. Good fast lunch spot.

It may be my fault. I was there at 11:30 for brisket and slaw and beans. My brisket and beans were cold. Brisket is usually pretty solid but it wasn’t this time. Maybe try back in a couple months and not right when they open.

I experienced the most best customer service experience from Adienna, a manager who call me back to confirm my order. This has been my third time ordering from this resturant and I can truly admit that’s better than mine. If I could give it ten stars yes it’s that good.
