2 Meat Plate with Pork Belly, Burnt Ends, Mac and Cheese, and Potato Salad. Texas Twinkie for fun
Brett L.

Food was spectacular! Portions are huge and flavor out of this world! Service was fast and friendly. Food came out in less than 10 min.

I came on a Saturday at 1pm, although the line was pretty long (30 minute wait) it was well worth! I love coming here to try their new menu items but my go to is the Texas bowl. The workers are friendly and they usually clean up the tables quickly so new customers can sit at a clean table. Although it can get loud when it's crowded, you can still hear the country music in the background. Will keep coming back!

Brisket. Ribs. Sausage, chicken lollipop potato salad, Pickled onions, cukes, & jalapeños

Five star update. I can't say enough how the brisket compares to other brisket served us over the past few years. Well. There is no comparison. It's just a plain fact that Mega Texas does brisket right! 5 stars plus! Ribs were wonderful today as well. Everything else held top notch places to make the meal we ate inside memorable and the extras we took home hard to wait for. If you have not yet experienced Mega Texas BBQ in Fresno, you have definitely been missing out. It's time to go. Happy helpers inside make the experience a definite plus.

Dining room

I'm a fan. This is a legit bbq spot and has a following. The lines long and I hear things run out daily so if your into lunch get here early enough to get stuff. It took me 43 min from parking to plate so that's the line and the order and wait for food. Dining room is clean and they are tending doors to keep weather and bugs put as well as making sure tables are wiped. It's busy and everyone wants a plate so it's kinda like the same as i would see at Lockhart in Plano or 1050 at Richardson or pecan lodge in deep Ellium. It's relative to Texas with a few twists. Food is fresh and absolutely plentiful. I was really surprised at the quantity, most bbq places in Cali like this are really stingy and charge a lot and give a little. This place gives you excellent portions. Now to the flavor... i had a 2 item plate with ribs and brisket, it had Mac and cheese and beans for sides. Ribs are on point. Rub is sweet with savory taste and not spicy. It is an excellent blend for pork and the color is a deep red with a healthy smoke ring. Tenderness is a very light pull and the meat stays shape so it's not a fall off bone ruined but just before. I would say the tenderness is something in competition level. Very well done. They are juicy since not overcooked. The tips are left on so it's not at Louis cut. This is a plus if you want more rib meat i guess! Brisket was super thick cuts and so much meat! Smoke ring really deep and most was very juicy and pull apart but some of it was a little lean. It just depends on the cut really for that but it was as good as a brisket could be done. I'm convinced their tiki g and heat strategy is tuned up well for feeding the masses. Flavor was great with the brisket. If i rated brisket against the ribs though i would probably take the ribs. Mac and cheese was decent but it was advertised as green chili Mac and cheese. I didn't see or taste any green chile in it at all. It was good but too basic for me. In Texas they have some Mac and cheese that explodes with flavor, this was subtle and creamy and good but not something I'm writing home about. Beans... the beans are not bbq beans, they are a hybrid that leans i to Mexican flavors and they top them with cheddar cheese. They have brisket in them as well. I absolutely loved them. They are not sweet though. If you want traditional bbq baked beans this is not it. This is some style that is Smokey and baked but certainly Mexican style. I won't come here without getting them. They would lose a bbq competition but they win my heart. Notables are the potato salad. This was cold and some dill flavor very decent but not epic. Good flavor to taste in between meats. One Hawaiian roll is given to the meal and the pickled vegetables. The pickled onions are awesome. I loved those. I tried a daily special of a few ribs that were chile verde basted but those sucked. They were essentially boiled ribs and the green sauce flavor was non existent. They tasted like a boiled experiment gone bad. I won't hold it against them though because it looked like some test they were doing for 4 bucks and i just said let's try it... that meat would slap in a burrito though.... I'm coming back for sure.

Arrived!! Outside seating too!!

1/16/26 Sounding good for a change! Getting lunch! Tried calling. No answer! Thankfully, they texted that they are open and to come on in. Awesome!! New location from last time. Arrived! Very busy. Waited in line. Music playing. Ordered the chicken sandwich and 1 Brisket meat plate with potato salad and beans. The worker was kind. Chatted about how much better it is here compared to when they were at Arco. Paid for the order and went to the bbq station to get spicy & sweet bbq sauce. Then waited for order to be called....not so long a wait, name called and received with enjoy wishes leaving! Appreciated and GREAT new location! Lunchtime! Order split!! Chicken sandwich 1/2 is Great! Tasty, tender chicken & I added their spicy bbq sauce to make it even better!! Brisket is DELICIOUS!! Tender with the GREAT bbq flavor! Potato salad Flavorful & Great! Mac n cheese is Fantastic! Cheesy GREATNESS! Chili beans are GREAT too! Lots of Flavor! Fresh, tasty roll to top it off! I definitely had a little hit of leftovers too! Mother said her portion was Really GREAT!! Great service & GREAT bbq lunch! Highly recommended!!

$50 mega plate special.  I ate this.... And today I became a man.

It's still amazing! It's still the best bbq in Fresno. It's still worth the wait and if you don't want to wait, it's worth getting there as close to opening (10:30am) as possible! Why haven't you gone yet?! Go!

Delicious food highly recommend not only that but the service was phenomenal. I have two young kids and they gave them a hot wheels race car and a cute little rattle for my baby. It was perfect for entertaining them.

KC Bowl
Terry R.

MEGA Texas BBQ not only lives up to the hype but surpasses it and is a must try for all BBQ fans! We went on a Wednesday around 11am and line was already to the door though moved along efficiently. I ordered the KC bowl while my husband and daughter ordered the Texas bowl and my son ordered the two meat combo. Everything we tasted was juicy BBQ perfection and the sides were a 10/10. I especially loved their potato salad! We also tried the Texas Twinkie and WOW! For those unfamiliar with a Texas Twinkie , it is a bacon wrapped jalapeño, stuffed with cream cheese and brisket. Jalapeño was a mild spice level. There was plenty of seating indoors with additional umbrella seating outdoors. Service was very friendly and efficient, with careful attention to detail such as making sure sauce jars were filled and tables were quickly cleaned. The lady at the register was unfazed by the busyness and treated each costumer with kindness and like they were the only one in line. Do your tastebuds a favor and let them learn firsthand why MEGA Texas has won multiple awards!

I been wanting to come here for the longest but every time, they would be closed cus I go at the wrong days or time. And when I did go, they ran out of a lot of the meat I was interested in. And now I see why! Came here for Valentine's Day and got there when it's just opened. Parking sucks, we had to park in the neighborhood. Walking up we already seen a line! I was like wtf I didn't think there would be a line cus we came early but sheesh! While in line, we were greeted and handed menus. The lady handling the door was nice. She let everyone know when we can come in since there was a line already inside. She would open the doors too. They have outdoor seating as well and a big connect four I would assume for the kids to play, well.. grown ppl can too. Finally inside and admiring all the awards n trophy's they have. Mann was I in for a treat! When u get closer you can see the man's cutting up the meat and somebody scooping up the sides preparing for orders. Fuck! That shit looked so good!! I was salivating. I went for the four meat plate. My bf did too. My meats were pork belly, brisket, tri tip and ribs. His was the same except he got burnt ends instead of pork belly. My sides was Mac and cheese & potato salad. My bfs was Mac and cheese and brisket baked beans. He also added a strawberry shortcake pudding. Both plates came with rolls and pickled jalapeños, pickles and I think red onion?? I also got one Texas Twinkie to try. They have three different sauces. Sweet, spicy and a white sauce that was somewhat tangy (not my favorite). Dug in on the meat, OMG that pork belly was melting in my mouth. The ribs was tender but not slide off the bone tender but still good. The brisket had a good amount of meat to fat ratio. And the tri tip was delicious. My bf agreed but he felt his burnt ends was too fatty. The Twinkie was phenomenal and huge! The pickled sides added a nice touch cus it helped cut the fatty flavors at times. The pickle slices tho, lowkey tasted like apple pie to me, I think from whatever spice it was pickled in.. it was ok. Sweet and spicy bbq sauce was standard but helped compliment the meats. NGL, I was disappointed in the sides. Mac was just alright. Potato salad was too chunky for me. Beans had no damn flavor whatsoever. The pudding we never had a strawberry shortcake one before and it was delicious. The place was packed but they did good on service. I do have to add tho that the table we sat at next to the front door was sticky af and had some small gnats flying around. I did not like the sticky table at all but there was no where else to sit. Overall meats was outstanding since they were the star of the show anyway!

Summertime is great for outside seating but there's people sitting outside when it's raining too! That ain't me though. lol food is still delish and you can't go wrong with those Texas twinkies. They have the specials board up front, make sure to check it out. This place is always busy so be prepared for a lil bit of a wait. Enjoy

This place is probably the best bbq I've had in awhile. Long wait during lunch time so get there early!! They give yiu a very generous portions so a meal might feed 2.

Tri tip sandwich and Mac and cheese
Kevin L.

My son found this gem online and insisted that we go. I had the Tennessee bowl which included an amazing fall off of the bone rib, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, potato salad and baked beans. Excellent. The Pit-master was super nice and welcoming and you can smell this place 50 yards before you get here, in a good way of course.

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 jalapeño. 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.

See all

Best pork ribs I've had in a very long time! Tender but still leaves a bite...the way a rib should be. Sides were mediocre at best
