The Canyon Ridge store carries H-E-B's True Texas BBQ program to the far north side, smoking brisket, ribs, and sausage in-house for the 78753 corridor. It's a supermarket smokehouse that has quietly become part of the neighborhood routine — the kind of place shoppers discover on a grocery run and then keep coming back to on purpose, from early morning until nine at night. The brisket anchors the plate, cooked on-site with the H-E-B brisket rub for a genuine bark and clean smoke. Pork ribs come tender, the smoked sausage brings a snappy link, and the pulled pork sandwich is the quick, affordable lunch pick. Smoked turkey stays moist. Nothing about the address promises real barbecue, and that's the surprise: for the far-north corridor, this in-store pit turns a routine errand into a legitimately smoked meal.
