"Not good. Probably in bottom 3 BBQ dinners ever. $32 for 3 meat plate, corn bread, soda. Up charge for 2 of the 3 meats didnt know until paying. 1 slice Brisket ?moist/fatty? , 3 ribs, 3 burnt ends. Everything was very dry. Ribs have very little meatand are tough but good seasoning. Brisket had decent taste at best but dry. Burnt ends were like a moist jerky at best. Probablythe worst I?ve ever had. Corn bread was burnt and dry. Worker said they keep reporting to mgt that the toaster burns all thecorn bread but no change just burnt bread. Beans and cream corn sides were pretty good and actually best part of meal. Sauce wastasty. I almost never use sauce but I had to on this meat just to get some moisture in meat."

Surprisingly great, considering it was inside H-E-B supermarket! The ribs were perfect, the brisket was even better!

Ribs were a bit dry. Flavor was def there! Cornbread w/ Honey Butter was so good!! Mac Cheese extra cheesy! Potato Salad yum!

Absolutely delicious. The brisket was moist and tender, the sides were packed with flavor, and the cornbread with honey butter was delightful.

I was expecting a bit more on the quality of food. I order the Natural St Louis Ribs which were dry, the Sauced Pulled Natural Pork (By the Pound) which tasted like it was made in a crock pot and overly greasy, Texas Torpedos were ok, and the Banana Pudding which was the best thing ordered.

You can't beat the loaded brisket nachos for the price. I recommend adding the brisket beans. Fully loaded up it has Pico, sour cream, guacamole, queso, shredded brisket and is about 1000-1200 calories. I've been skipping Chipotle and coming here instead!Both photos are from different visits.

True Texas BBQ's menu features a delicious smoky, sweet, and spicy BBQ sauce on the chicken that was an absolute revelation! The tasty potato salad and melt-in-your-mouth brisket were outstanding. Everything was very good with perfect portion sizes. They also use sturdy containers for to-go orders, which is a big plus. Highly recommend True Texas BBQ!

I was eager to try this place and ordered the ribs, but was disappointed to find they were out of the Natural St. Louis Ribs I wanted. Instead of informing me, the restaurant substituted them with Turkey Natural Turkey Breast by the pound, which I don't enjoy. I wouldn’t recommend this spot and suggest choosing any of the other BBQ places nearby—they clearly don’t prioritize their customers. View menu

Pretty decent moist brisket especially for the price. Picked up a lb and a half for dinner to go. Wrapped up well and wasn't dried out when we got to it an hour or so later at home. I'd put it on roughly the same level as Rudy's, maybe a slight notchabove. Again for the price, you're getting a decent product. Will definitely be back to try the ribs and maybe take advantage oftheir happy hour.

I liked it! I thought the BBQ sauces had great flavor! I got 2 orders of the 3-meat plates with all different meats sides to share as a family so we could try just about a little of everything! The turkey was my least favorite, but the BBQ sauce made ittasty ????. Good brisket, pulled pork and chopped brisket! There was an error in my order, but they went above and beyond to fixit and make it right ????

"I literally just made a review but I’m going to make another one because for whatever reason someone or somehow it got deleted. I used to be a regular at Bouldin and the service was always amazing but my last two visits have been by far horrible. The service has been so poor that I felt disgusted when leaving the restaurant. There are two girls that work there with light brown hair and blue eyes. Pretty sure one of their names is Rego. My boyfriend and I were served by her before and she seemed nothing but annoyed and couldn’t care less if we were in her section. Barley even interacted with us or asked how our meal was and just seemed disgusted by us, just being rude passive aggressive for no reason at all. I’m a server and I KNOW this isn’t how you treat your guests and the same thing happened tonight. She just seemed like she couldn’t care less if we were there and just seemed annoyed? I don’t mind paying the gratuity if I’m being treated decently but that wasn’t the case and I feel as though they feel like they think they can get away with behaving like mean girls just because there’s a gratuity. I have friends that dine here as well and they have had the same experience. I’m not one to write reviews but I feel this needs to come across a managers attention so they know who they are hiring and how they are treating customers. Really disgusted and disappointing and if this gets deleted again I’ll write another review or just call the store to speak to a manager. Disgusted by their behavior."
