Buc-ee’s Big Buckin’ Brisket Sandwich XXL Chopped Beef vs. H-E-B True Texas BBQ TX Size Prime Brisket Sandwich.<\/p>\n

Last week, H-E-B caught some heat after a Reddit post called out the $15 Prime brisket sandwich at True Texas BBQ<\/a> as overpriced. H-E-B officials stood behind the price of the sandwich, praising the half pound of meat and superior cuts smoked in-house, but it also brought back memories of another brisket sandwich: The\u00a0Big Buckin’ Brisket Sandwich XXL Chopped Beef from Buc-ee’s<\/a>. That sandwich caused a stir when it debuted with a $13 price tag. So, MySA took a trip up to New Braunfels to see which Texas icon has the superior breakfast sandwich.<\/p>\n If you ever want to complete this taste test yourself, it won’t take much driving. The Buc-ee’s at 2760 I-35, New Braunfels, TX 78130, is right on the other side of I-35 from the True Texas BBQ at 2965 I-35 N. Frontage Road, New Braunfels, TX 78130, barely a five-minute drive.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Buc-ee’s Big Buckin’ Brisket Sandwich XXL Chopped Beef at the Buc-ee’s in New Braunfels.<\/p>\n Peter L. Scamardo II\/MySA<\/p>\n Buc-ee’s Big Buckin’ Brisket Sandwich XXL Chopped Beef: $13.99<\/p>\n Buc-ee’s had fans questioning the price of the massive sandwich when it arrived in 2023. The New Braunfels location had a smaller quantity of Big Buckin’ sandwiches compared to the rest of the offerings when MySA visited on Wednesday, April 8, but plenty of folks grabbed their hunks of beef, showing its strong place in the Buc-ee’s family.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Sidebar, the ability to grab a sandwich and rush toward the cash registers is a benefit hard to beat. Getting your food quickly and avoiding a busload of teenagers is a major plus.<\/p>\n $13.99 Buc-ee’s Big Buckin’ Brisket Sandwich XXL Chopped Beef.<\/p>\n Peter L. Scamardo II\/MySA<\/p>\n As for the sandwich itself, the chopped brisket has that classic Buc-ee’s sauce and sweet flavor that have made its brisket sandwiches a go-to staple for road trippers. The amount of meat is also admirable, but it made the sandwich harder to eat. I had multiple chunks fall out of the wrapper before I could make it to my mouth.<\/p>\n The sandwich has good flavor, but the massive amount of beef makes it unsuitable for drivers on a road trip. Given Buc-ee’s doesn’t have any seating areas, that’s a point against. Ultimately, I wouldn’t pay $13 for it, given that you can get the regular Buc-ee’s brisket sandwich with the same flavor for almost half the price.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n $15.49 H-E-B True Texas BBQ TX Size Prime Brisket Sandwich.<\/p>\n Peter L. Scamardo II\/MySA<\/p>\n H-E-B True Texas BBQ TX Size Prime Brisket Sandwich: $15.49<\/p>\n The True Texas BBQ we visited was on the outside of the H-E-B Plus! in New Braunfels, and honestly, I preferred it. Yes, the two-story location was just down the street, but being able to grab my food without dealing with H-E-B crowds is a big deal (can you tell I use curbside?).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
