Yes, the H-E-B barbecue restaurant has a name: True Texas BBQ. The Slaughter and I-35 branch serves oak-smoked meats and has a barbecue drive-thru at the South Congress store.

A real barbecue pit inside a grocery store

H-E-B says True Texas BBQ smokes meat in house over Texas oak. Sliced brisket, St. Louis ribs and turkey make it a smokehouse meal, with brisket beans, creamed corn and potato salad alongside.

Use the barbecue drive-thru

The restaurant’s own location finder lists a drive-thru at the Slaughter and I-35 branch. This is distinct from an H-E-B pharmacy drive-thru. The restaurant lists daily service from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; the grocery store has different hours.

Not every H-E-B has True Texas BBQ

True Texas BBQ operates at selected stores. Look for the restaurant’s own location finder rather than assuming your nearest H-E-B has a pit or drive-thru. Lake Austin and South Congress at Oltorf are different branches.
