They opened an HEB in my area and are touting the True Texas BBQ restaurant inside of it. They always have long lines and it smells like real BBQ but I'm dubious of any place whose motto is "Smoked in Store Up To 14 Hours". Ummm I smoke my meats about 18 hours so I'm wondering why they chose that as their catch phrase. Anyone ate at one of these? Worth it or not?

Haven't seen any True Texas BBQ restaurants in our HEBs. But HEB in San Antonio has boneless Prime Ribeye for $9.97lb. Got six, put through the FoodSaver and into the freezer.

SlushDeezey if you are talking about the one in Magnolia, that's my area as well (I am in the Woodlands). I have seen multiple reviews ranging from Rudy's quality to not good to really good. I think consistency is an issue for them. But sounds like they are dedicated to getting it lined out. I haven't tried it just because I haven't wanted to wait in the lines. I would prefer going across the street to D's Farm Road BBQ trailer. He has good stuff.
