    Came in on a Sunday at 2 (about 30 mins to closing) and we were so lucky they weren't completely sold out ! Ordered a two meat platter of brisket and chile verde ribs with a side of potato salad chili beans with brisket. While chile verde ribs weren't my first choice it was surprisingly really good and tender. Brisket was amazing, fall apart and full of flavor. The barbecue sauce on the side was just an added touch but honestly it's so seasoned you don't really need much. The sides were both delicious! What really stood out here besides the amazing food is the amazing staff! The owner Anthony went around and chatted with everyone like we were all friends and family. His aunt brought us honey cornbread on the house just to try which was so thoughtful ! Anthony's wife at the counter was so nice and helpful because we knew we came at closing time yet she still got us two full plates of what was available. Now helpful tip: you gotta come early ! Everything sells out fast !!!!! There are literally lines to the parking lot before they even open! Everything is so damn good people are willing to line up at 10am. Barbecue for breakfast type good! I will back soon and plan to load up on the Texas twinkies I see all over tik tok

    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.

    These guys made the mistake of pumping thier smoker fumes out into the road! We had to make an emergency U-Turn becase of it. (ha). We we're not even thinking about lunch then but the smell changed our mind. The host we're gracious and very helpful introducing us to the process. Then when you get to the preparation area. All the meats are on display so you don't even need to guess. The bowls let you try three different sides and not in healpings that you need to take home. Didn't get to try the cornbread as it was sold out but if it's up to par with thier other item, I am sure I'll be impressed. Coming back again even though it's 1/2 hour from home.

    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'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.

    So many different bowls to choose from but this was my choice.

    I have been wanting to go try this place. It's been on my list. Unfortunately, it's either closed by the time I'm off work or food runs out. That might be a sign. We hD a lunch at work and ordered to go from here. I have to say, worth the wait for sure. 100% ready to go back. I got one of their bowls, which had a bit of everything, since it was my first time. Also, loved their banana pudding. 10 out of 10. I'm ready to go back.

    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!

    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!!

    KC Bowl

    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!

    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

    Tri tip sandwich and Mac and cheese

    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.

    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.

    See all

    Do you make fake burnt ends?

    We make burnt ends the way we like them. They are made from our smoked brisket. But they aren’t made in any traditional style. Which can vary depending on where you’re at. But our customers think they’re real good. We’ve made them the same way for… 

    When do you have the Texas twinkies?

    Hello. For right now Texas Twinkie’s are just a special. We usually post on our social media when they’re available. As we settle in to our new location and add to our team we hope to make them a regular menu item.

    Do they cater? We are thinking of getting their food for Super Bowl Sunday.
