492 BBQ

Really tasty bbq spot that looks like a big chain fancy restaurant but packs a lot of flavor. It tste great in my opinion without the spicy bbq sauce but I love that hot spice. We literally got almost all the appetizers to try a little of everything and boy did we fill up. Portions are good and enough to share for sure. Server was helpful & very informative, kitchen prepped food quick & hot. Definitely will keep coming back for more soon.

The service was great and the food was even better! We chose this place to explore some of the new restaurants in the area, and we were not disappointed. We ordered the chips and pico with guacamole. I loved the freshness of the super crunchy chips. I had the 1 meat smoked bake potato. It may sound simple enough, but I have had many a bad potato, not today. The potato was well cooked- no undercooked areas. The ratio of cheese, butter, sour cream to potato was spot on. There was barbecue sauce on the table, and the onions and pickles(requested, I know, I am weird, but thats how I like it) were just the right amount. Finally on to the chopped brisket, PERFECTION! In my opinion it was cut to the perfect size without becoming mushy, the meat had a nice tooth, so it wasn't falling apart. The crust was tasty without being crunchy, and the spice level compliments the meat, not overpowers it. The potato itself was HUGE. I could not finish it! I ordered an unsweetened iced tea, the mason jars were exactly what any good barbecue place should have. Lastly the decor was fresh and rustic. If you are in the area, it is worth a try! Enjoy!

It's time for another episode of "What's Really Goin On"

492 BBQ

Saw the TikTok video review. Looked good. Had an appointment in Valley and SHE asked...what about BBQ. Shhhhh That's all you had to say.

Ordered a 3 meat plate - Brisket (moist), Chkn 1/4, and fajitas. Came with 2 sides. Green beans and Mac n cheese. A must at a new BBQ place. Then ordered 1/2 pound of jalapeno cheddar sausage and 1/2 pound of beef short ribs. Also ordered lamb ribs. That came with 2 sides - potato salad and rice and beans mix.

Meats were FANTASTIC! Brisket was tender and had good flavor. Fajitas were very tender and had a great smokey flavor. Beef ribs were good. Tender. The star of the show though.... jalapeno cheddar sausage and the lamb ribs! OUTSTANDING!! Lamb was little on fatty side...but easily removed.

Sides were very MEH. Disappointing even. Potato salad was decent. Bean and rice mix was actually good. But green beans were bunk. Mac and cheese was nothing special. Flour tortillas made me smile. I had actually been wanting this style. Heavy on lard when making. Just like Speedy burger in Rio used to make.

BUT..because the meats were so good. Would DEFINITELY recommend!!

I was advised by a friend to visit and was not disappointed. The food was really good and great prices. This was better than Rudy's or Bar B Cuties. The sides were super good. The service was very good and kept up with refills and requests. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. I like the many TV's showing sports but the chairs could have been better, a little uncomfortable. The place could have a better vibe with the decorations but hey you are here to eat. I had a taste of all the meats and was only slightly disappointed with the brisket. It was too dry even for point. The hot BBQ sauce was the best by far and went great with the chicken. I am also very happy to report they support veterans with a discount. You need to make it a point to go here and try the food. It is a bit hidden in the strip mall but just look for the pig on the sign.

The staff was very attentive and the interior decor very clean and modern. My order consisted of two pulled pork sandwiches and a bake potato to go. The family loved it. Will definitely return.
