Matt Shlemon and his wife, Athena, own and run Abbey's Real Texas BBQ.
Matt was enjoying lunch at Real Texas BBQ in 1987, just weeks after arriving in San Diego, and it was the best cuisine he had eve…
Loaded Baked Potato was HUGE and tastes great. Totally thought it would be a small potato since it was an appetizer but it was a meal by itself. Will be ordering again!
Meat Sandwich (2 sides) good size and tender brisket, potato salad was exactly what I was looking for, and cornbread is thecornbread I used to get at home.

The portions of the burnt ends have gotten much smaller now. Theyre delicious but they used to give a box full, now it's only like 4 pieces for the same price!
Their brisket sandwhich however is a delight and their bbq is certainly delicious. Just the portions have gotten smaller.

I just called Abbey's Real Texas BBQ to let them know, in person, how much we enjoy their Beef brisket by the Lb , thru DoorDash....Moist meat, taste great & fantastic eye appeal in the box. Dasher Juan, providing prompt service as tour meal arrived hot.
DoorDash & Abbey's... what a winning combination...!
Happy Customer.

The The Lil´ Sandwich (1 side) with pulled pork was tender. The Meat Sandwich (2 sides) of Brisket was smokey and large. I do wish it was the style of bbq where they put the sauce on the sandwich with toppings :(. This is just meat and bread which is good but simple as was the rest of the meal. Mac n cheese - simple. Baked beans - good, has chunks of beef for extra flavor. Potato Salad has big chunks of potatoes. And they forgot my Cornbread . All n all good, but if your looking for exciting...
