“ I was surprised to find this BBQ joint hidden in the corner of a local neighborhood. Great food, fast service, hot andcooked just right. Whole lot of food in a serving. A single plate item is just enough for 1. A two item is a lot for one but just enough for 2. Bring a healthy appetite and pillow for the nap afterward. ”
“ This! This is how BBQ should be done. I’ve had my fair share of underwhelming experiences in the area, so when a friend recommended this spot and showed me the viral videos, I had to check it out. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I ordered the two meat plate with brisket and tri-tip, along with rice pilaf and potato salad. Everything was spot on. The meat was incredibly tender, packed with that rich, smoky flavor you expect from true Texas style BBQ. I also appreciate that they don’t overdo or experiment with the seasoning, letting the quality of the meat and smoke shine through. The sides tasted homemade and brought the plate together perfectly. My only regret.. Being human and not having the stomach to try everything on the menu. I’ll definitely be back, and this is now my go to recommendation for anyone looking for legit BBQ in the area! ”
“ This BBQ spot was one of the best that I’ve tried and that’s saying a lot since my brother manages another BBQ spot in the Central Valley. From the second my husband and I walked in they welcomed us and made recommendations. We sat outside, the person on the pit was asking every guest if they could be helped with anything else. I started talking with the person on the pit and he stated he also sources his food local to give back to the community. Overall such a great experience and we will definitely come back :) ”
“ This place is so delicious if you are craving that home smoked BBQ- the portions are HUGE! It did take a while to get but they are so busy it should be expected. This is a Gem in the middle of Fresno. Must try! ”
“ We ordered 2 platters for Super Bowl. Everything was amazing. We had ribs, tri tip, brisket, hot links, chicken lollipops, pilaf, brisket beans, and Mac and cheese. Ribs and Mac are THE BEST! We will definitely order platters with Mega Texas BBQ again. Thanks Anthony! ”
“ It was our first time going we got there at 12 the line was constantly out the door we got our order in a little after 1. Expect long wait times if you don’t order from their instagram the day before. It was very much worth the wait and money everything was savory, flavorful, and really fresh. We ordered a 3 meat plate, 2 meat plate, and a 1 meat loaded potato with 3 drinks and paid 100. ”
“ I can not say enough good things about this place. From the amazing food to the service to the atmosphere, it's just a complete package. If you want the best barbecue in town, in my opinion, go here but go early as the line can sometimes be long with a long wait, but that should tell you just how good the food's gonna be. Owners Anthony and Tasha make you feel at home and are very personable. The entire staff is customer oriented, so you have a great experience. I have yet to have anything on the menu that I didn't like. I encourage you to try it all , my absolute favorite thing is their Texas twinkie, which is a huge jalapeno stuffed full of brisket and cream cheese. Then wrapped in bacon and then smoked .... need, I say more . ”
“ Being Mega Texas, the brisket lives up to the name. The perfect midsection of the brisket with some lean and flat is my favorite. The golden fat melted as it touched my tongue and the flat was super moist. It’s that perfect texture that I always took forward to with every brisket. The ribs were sweet and had the perfect bite. Not too tender not to tough. The perfect baby bear bite. As much as I like glazed pork belly, I would 100% rather have it unsauced. It lets me enjoy the taste of pig in nice bite sized pops. If you do come here, GET THE LOLLIPOP CHICKEN. The way that it is frenched removed the tendons unlike other lollipop chickens I’ve had. The way that the bacon is wrapped is perfect. I took a bite, and the bacon stayed stuck to the chicken. If I went to the doctor and had to get a shot, this is the lollipop I would want. On the note about the bacon wrap, the same perfect wrapping was done on the Texas Twinkie. This might just be me, but I think I got the perfect jalapeno. Not too spicy with the perfect amount of kick. These bacon wraps are perfect. Both the sides!!! In case you cant tell in the picture, the topping on the Mac and cheese is chicharrones. The extra flavor and texture that adds to the mixture is divine. The more I eat the more I enjoy the contrast in textures and this is a prime example of that. I needed rice and the pilaf was the right choice. After all these rich meats it brought me back home. It literally tasted like home. Like the staple of every meal for a warm home cooked meal warming both the body and heart. The strawberry shortcake parfait was mixed with a custard with whipped cream folded in that kept it light but creamy. I wasnt able to touch the parfait for a couple min because I was occupied with the meats, but there was none of the liquid that you find being pulled out of the strawberry. The tres leches corn bread at the end solves the issue of a tres leches cake that is too moist. The corn bread holds the shape and because of the masa creates another interesting texture versus the mush that is a normal tres leches cake. If you are in the Central Valley, stop by and get some great barbecue. ”
