No, really:



We do love our HEB. HEB is opening a huge 120,000 sq ft store in New Braunfels, a town just northeast of San Antonio. It will be noteworthy as it will have a two-story smoked-in-house BBQ restaurant in it.

Here's the store:



And and the BBQ restaurant:



This isn't some random BBQ thing. HEB has established itself with nineteen other "True Texas BBQ" shops in other stores. Texas Monthly Magazine (a revered institution in our State) in 2019 called HEB's BBQ the best in Texas of any chain. Here's their story, which includes a few pics of what the restaurants look like and the food. https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/h-e...q-chain-texas/
