🔥 Mega Texas BBQ: Fresno’s BBQ Gem — A Personal Ode

Let me spill the beans (and the brisket): Mega Texas BBQ on Butler Avenue is more than Fresno’s favorite barbecue joint—it’s my BBQ obsession. As your local Q-enthusiast, I’ve watched them rise from a humble gas-station setup to a brick-and-mortar powerhouse, and I’ve chatted with the owner—an absolute gem, passionate and humble in equal measure. Here’s why you need this smoky goodness in your life.

🏆 Award-Winning & Nationally Acclaimed

• Crowned Rising Star of the Year at the 2025 Valley Business Awards—no small feat!
• Named a Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ spot in the U.S., all the way from Fresno—yep, outside the Lone Star State!
• Magically transitioned from gas-station pop-up to full-scale restaurant, but kept the flavor—and the heart.

🗣️ Old-School Accolades

Reddit forums echo the hype:

“A transplant from Texas opened up a phenomenal joint… The brisket is like heaven.”
“Mega Texas always makes the top of lists.”

Locals and BBQ lovers can’t stop raving.

🍴 Signature Delights to Savor

Texas Twinkies
These jalapeños, stuffed with brisket and bacon, are out of this world. A perfect balance of smoky and spicy.

Brisket
They’ve always been good, but lately? They’re bordering on best in the USA territory. Perfect bark, melt-in-your-mouth texture—just heaven.

Tri-Tip
Not to be overlooked! In a tri-tip desert like Fresno, theirs stands out as truly great. Smoky, juicy, perfect.

Chicken Lollipop
These “chicken loli pops” are fire—crisp, juicy, and addictive. A flavor explosion in every bite.

Everything Else
From ribs and pulled pork to pork belly and green-chile mac, I’ve tried it all—and there’s never been a miss.

💬 Owner Chat: The Heart Behind the Smoke

I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with Anthony, the co-owner, several times. He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t just serve BBQ—he lives it. Genuine, humble, always focused on quality and hospitality. He didn’t stop when the awards came rolling in—he kept perfecting the craft and caring for the community. His wife, Tasha, is equally impressive and the heart of their winning customer service.

🤤 Mouth-Watering Menu Highlights

Let’s break it down Fresno-style:

• Texas Twinkies – Jalapeños stuffed with brisket & bacon = 🌶️🔥
• Brisket – Near top-tier, melt-in-your-mouth perfection
• Tri-Tip – Fresno’s best-played tri-tip, smoky and juicy
• Chicken Lollipops – Crispy perfection = Flavor bomb
• Ribs / Pulled Pork – Classic Texas style, wood-smoked goodness
• Sides & More – Beans, mac & cheese, pork belly—you name it, they nail it

Mega Texas BBQ isn’t a flash-in-the-pan spot—it’s Fresno’s barbecue legacy. With award-winning status, glowing national recognition, and an owner who pours his soul into every brisket slice, this place is a must for anyone who loves authentic Texas-style Q. From the Texas Twinkies to the chicken lollipops, every bite is a flavor revelation.

Head over to Butler Avenue and treat yourself—you’ll walk in curious, walk out a believer.

Head YES man at FresYes.com

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
