Profile

True Texas BBQ is a Georgetown institution, beloved by locals and visitors alike for its mouth-watering, slow-smoked barbecue. The restaurant's commitment to traditional Texas-style BBQ is evident in its use of an offset smoker, fueled by post oak wood, which imbues the meats with a rich, depthful flavor. The brisket, in particular, is a standout, with a perfectly formed crust giving way to juicy, tender meat inside. The menu is rounded out by classic sides like mac and cheese, baked beans, and coleslaw, as well as decadent desserts like cobbler.

The atmosphere at True Texas BBQ is just as impressive as the food, with a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes diners feel right at home. The restaurant features a bar upstairs, where patrons can enjoy a craft beer or other drink, and outdoor seating is also available for those who prefer to dine al fresco. The service is consistently excellent, with friendly, attentive staff like Shannon and Sharon making sure that every guest has a great experience. Whether you're a barbecue aficionado or just looking for a delicious meal in a fun, relaxed setting, True Texas BBQ is an excellent choice. With online ordering, catering, and reservations available, it's easy to enjoy this fantastic restaurant however you like.

Shannon (bartender) is the sole reason we love it here! She's attentive, kind, and helpful. We like the bar, but LOVE her and keep coming back because of Shannon. She's the best!! We live very close and she is the reason we keep coming back! She makes sure you get something yummy but is also in your price range. What more could you want?! Thank you Shannon!!

Who knew. This bbq is very well made. Im a brisket snob and they somehow made brisket that has a good crust and is still juicy on the inside. Very hard to accomplish and even high-end barbecue restaurants. The atmosphere was nice and they even have a bar upstairs.

I recently ate at this restaurant two times. First time I got a two meat plate with brisket and turkey, Aunt potato salad and brisket beans. The second time I got pulled pork sandwich and potato salad. And I have to say both times the food was excellent. My dad also really loved the turkey so we'll definitely be back for that again. The only issue that I have generally is they don't give you as much meat as some other local barbecues for about the same price. To be honest, the amount of meat that they gave you was plenty for me. But if you're a big eater, you may be disappointed by the portion sizes here. They generally give a quarter pound but they have rules that state that they cannot give less than that. So usually you'll get a little bit more. But at another barbecue place I ate at nearby I could get about twice as much meat for the same price.
