Heart of Texas Barbecue

Great food with great atmosphere. Owners serving food. Outside venue.

Closed on Monday and Tuesday. This food truck is permanently located behind fence. Ordered the 3 meat to get a taste of different meats. Brisket, ribs, and turkey. The turkey was my favorite. Both the brisket and ribs were cooked very good. The ribs needed more dry rub on them. Potato salad was good. Coleslaw had to much vinager for me. Overall very good BBQ

This was awesome! Downtown Hutto is so quaint. Love the location. The brisket was tender and well seasoned. We ordered a loaded baked potato that could have fed an army. It was fabulous! We would definitely come here again!

Great Texas Bbq! Brandee takes great care of her customers”! Don’t leave without the amazing banana pudding!

Great BBQ, Awesome slaw, lean brisket to kill for. Potato salad needed a little more seasoning but that is the end of my being critical.

The food was good but I got a huge fly in my pudding and the crunch from it grossed me out so much, pulling the fly out of my mouth to see what was crunchy seriously turned me away from going back. I like the brisket and the lady who served me was SUPER nice I just wish they had a covered area to prevent so many flies during the summer time.

Delicious BBQ and friendly service — walked away missing our potato salad — excellent location in the heart of Hutto. Did I say super friendly service?

Came out for BBQ tonight at the regular spot. A lot of folks must have had the same idea today they ran out of spuds but that’s ok we can work around that brisket by the pound, turkey sandwich’s and pulled pork sandwich’s is the usual but wanted to add the spuds tonight must come sooner next time.
The spuds are great and don’t forget the banana pudding it’s really good and when they are out its gone till the next day.

This bbq is the real deal. Definitely order the chicken. Best bbq chicken I’ve ever had. The location is a food trailer with a really cool vibe. There’s plenty of seating and shade. I loved the food so much I had them cater my wedding! There were a few staff glitches but Dan made it right. Highly recommend Heart of Texas!

This is a pretty cool bbq place if you’re ever in Hutto. The girl working here was super nice and the brisket and ribs were delicious. Top it off with some pickles and onions and you’re on top of the world. They also had a ton of different bbc sauces too! Sweet like chicken!
Best BBQ in Hutto!

Went here today and it was super nice, if you are in the area for sure check it out. The outdoor seating was nice, picnic tables with shade cover. I did the 3 meat plate with 2 sides and a drink and it was under $ 20.
Sides: Potato salad is mustard based and tastes home made, the coleslaw is vinegar based and was good, but I do like sweet coleslaw, it is what i grew up with.
Meats: Brisket: It had good flavor, nice smoke ring, good bark, but it was a lean cut so it isn’t as moist as some of the other places I have been (IE Franklin and La BBQ). This wasn’t a problem with me, but if you are expecting Franklin style moistness, it is not it. Pork Ribs: Great flavor, not too much, not too little on the spices, just right. Cooked to perfection, needed a little bit of a bite to get the meat off, but they bone was clean after finishing one. Turkey: One of the harder meats to cook and not dry out, well they killed it. This was more moist than the brisket, nice and tender and juicy and again, great flavor. Probably some of the best turkey you can get.
Sauces were nice too, 3 flavors, Spicy, Sweet and Regular. Spicy, wasn’t as spicy as I expected, but I found myself dipping in all three over the course of my meal.
Service was fast, I didn’t even get the pickles and sauces in containers before getting my order. Super friendly service and laid back environment.
Go check it out for sure!

Fantastic food and great customer service! We got to see Brandee, the owner, in action putting her heart and soul into the food and customers! We had the smoked turkey sandwich, chopped beef, andd sausage wrap! They have at least 6 different homemade sauces and they were all amazing with great suggestions of what to eat them with! Definitely going back :) and don’t forget the potato salad and bread pudding! DELICIOUS

It’s awesome food and service were great. nice outdoor seating with shade. ill come back again

BBQ was great and fair priced. I had the two meat plate (moist brisket and sausage) with double beans, which I would recommend to all BBQ lovers. Out door seating was nice with great scenery.

The food was great, I had the brisket and pulled pork. Outdoor seating was nice, and service was friendly. I would definitely eat here again! The sign also said they do catering.

I’ve eaten here twice and it was excellent both times. Pulled pork is by far my favorite and the brisket is a close 2^nd. It’s a great venue when the weather is nice. Dan and Brandee have a good thing going!

Awesome BBQ. Chicken and sausage were really good, but too bad we were too late to get Brisket. Beans were great, but the cole slaw was different and not our taste.
Get there early before they run out of meats.

Went there today with three friends. I had the chopped beef sandwich. The place only has outdoor seating but it was super nice outside so I’d recommend it this time of year. The sandwich was ok, nothing too special.. it came with chips and a drink. I believe the total was just under $ 11 dollars. This is a new business in Hutto.
My only knock was the food delivery was very slow, about 20 minutes for three sandwiches chips and bottled drinks. There was only two other customers there when we arrived.
I’d still recommend you give it a try, maybe the service will be better next time.

Because friends had told me this place can be rather inconsistent, I decided to wait until we had visited a few times before writing my review. I’m so glad I did! The first time we stopped in was a Wednesday afternoon just after they opened. We had a super experience! One of the owners served us and told us the history of their business and dreams for this location. She was really fun. The food? The moist brisket was a tad underdone and not very smoky, but still had a enough flavor to keep us munching. The ribs were truly excellent. They were perfectly seasoned with a good smoke ring, so we didn’t mind that they didn’t fall off the bone. Didn’t need a drop of sauce. Yum! The turkey, however, was dry and over peppered. It did need a good drowning. Unfortunately, we didn’t care for any of the sauces. Not a great loss in my mind if you have good meat. Those ribs were that good.
Next visit: much the same… Ribs were awesome, brisket was better this time. Skipped the turkey and sausages. Next time: stopped in for a quick mixed meat sandwich. It was so obviously left over from a catering job… boo! Next time: took family from out of town who are used to KC and lots of pork barbecue. So, we head to Heart of Texas after building it up and making everyone’s tummies roar all the way there to arrive at 5:50 pm on Friday. They were OUT OF BRISKET… IN TEXAS… ON AN EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT!!! WHAT??? We settled for dry pulled pork, dry turkey, and the last rack and a half of ribs in the place. The ribs were the star again. Many walk up customers were leaving empty handed. This is such a great little place for a barbeque joint. I really want them to survive because Hutto and the surrounding area needs fun places. But, I am not sure it will survive this way. They do a burnin’ hot catering business and don’t necessarily need this location is my guess. They do have some big plans for expansion and adding entertainment so I sure hope that comes through. They are super nice people. We will still stop by every once in awhile and hopefully, I can up my rating! Time will tell. By the way, check out their FB page to find out if they are open or not. They keep that updated.

I stopped in today right as h.o.t. bbq was opening. The staff was very welcoming and hospitable. The venue itself is a food trailer on a lot with a quaint fenced yard that included some nice shade trees and picnic tables. The food was out promptly packages to go. It did not disappoint! I ordered the two meat plate with brisket and ribs. The sides (coleslaw and potato salad) were par, but I order bbq for the meat. The brisket was good… I like my brisket fatty and flavorful. There’s was a little more lean than I like but flavorful and still delicious. The ribs were something special; smoky, tender, and juicy. I recommend this place to any bbq lovers out there. Good food with good people is what Texas bbq is all about, and Heart of Texas bbq has plenty of love to share.
