Save your money. We ordered a regular baked potato and a pulled pork sandwich we thought we couldn’t go wrong. The potato was dry as dirt. They give you about a teaspoon of sour cream and butter and a dash of bagged shredded cheese. Extra butter is 50 cents. The pulled pork was fine but their spicy bbq sauce is not spicy just added black pepper but still too sweet overall

First and last. Horrible and overly priced. $50 for 2 people. You live and you learn

I like the barbecue from True Texas BBQ manvel when they first opened. Things have changed, I order lean and get fatty meat. Meat is still smoked and its good!

This was sooo good at first! How did we get here!? Scrawny portions that are supposedly ‘weighed’. The brisket is still really good, but the baked potato is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen with two tablespoons of meat. The large sandwich is no different than the standard sandwich, and the sides are quite awful. I’ll go to McDonald’s before I waste my money here again. Their only saving grace is the lemonade and brisket, but you’re only getting a sample regardless of the portion you order on a sandwich or potato… I don’t see them continuing operations at this rate for more than a few more years. The line used to be packed, but now…

It was easy to order and served up fast. Tastes okay for a quick BBQ burger. I have had onions on two occasions. Both times they were soft and far from fresh. Recommend you cut up fresh onion daily as well as the soft pickles.

Disappointed. Ordered a 2 meat plate with sausage and brisket and an iced tea. Plate shows up with one piece of brisket and a sausage link. The flavor was ok, but brisket seemed to be more like pot roast than pit smoked BBQ brisket. For $23 I would have expected much more. The price of this is rivaling other barbecue restaurants that have made Texas Top 50, this wasn’t worth the dollars spent.
I heard great things about this place and I wanted to try it out. The parking lot was crazy packed so be prepared to drive around until a spot is available.
I ordered rib sausage and brisket plate with potato salad and greens. There was no flavor on the meat except the sausage. It wasn’t good either and too salty. The greens tasted straight out the can and potato salad was mid. Overall the food was terrible and I drove far to get some good BBQ. I’ll never go back again….

We always love the turkey and sausage and the sides are yummy too. However, just be aware their current special of elote is just their creamed corn with cotija and tajin on top.

True Texas Barbecue outside the HEB in Manvel is one of my favorite places to eat. I come here almost every Friday because the food is just that good. The fatty brisket is amazing, the burnt ends are perfect, and the turkey is always juicy and full of flavor. Everything on the menu is good, you really can’t go wrong with anything you order.
When they have the loaded elote, get it. It is a limited time item but it is easily one of the best sides they have ever offered. Great food, friendly staff, and always consistent quality. Definitely one of the best barbecue spots in the area.

Inconsistent. When the lady who works the window is there my order is either incomplete or half done, never fails.
