Ordered online went to pick up through the drive-thru. Everything is expensive now. I paid them then they ask if a i wanted to leave a tip when I'm already paying for the food. What is the tip for?

Stopped by this location after a local coworker recommended it. The atmosphere was great. Serving sizes were a bit small compared to other BBQ places I have been to. What really brought down my spirits about this place was the sad execution of their Mac n cheese. This stuff looked and tasted terrible, low quality typical boxed m&c. Most places I go to they make it in house, large maccaroni is used, lots of cheese, smokey flavor. This presentation of m&c I would give a 0 if I could.

Everytime I visit family in the valley, we HAVE to eat here! The side dishes are as good as the main dish and everything is 💯 delicious!!! Food is fresh, tasty, and presentation is nostalgic. You HAVE to go experience it for yourself! And the staff, they treat you like family!

I use to love it here, hadn’t gone in a while. Was excited to go in and saw Dino Ribs still on the menu so I got excited. the waitress said “they’re not ready. You should’ve came later in the day if you wanted that.” I’m like okay like what time she’s like until 1pm. It was noon. My family didn’t wanna wait an hour and she blamed it on the pit masters. so I got something she recommended. The center rack ribs and some brisket. Yet 20 minutes pass by and the next table she sits, the lady offers them Dino Ribs! Brisket was gross and the ribs were dry. Ruined my Saturday fr

I ordered beef ribs and was brought pork ribs then it took 15 minutes to correct while my companions ate their food , The Fajitas were cold , The brisket was swimming in sauce . Will never go to this establishment again.

2nd to worst BBQ in my own personal opinion. Photos online looked good enough for me to drive out here. Expecting a traditional style Texas BBQ, instead got thinly sliced, tough as shoe leather brisket that was presented to me with sauce smothered on top of brisket slices. (Comparison is being made based on an Austin style bbq) quarter leg chicken was extremely dry!! Overall, food is edible especially if hungry. That is just not the criteria threshold that I use. Manager states the Edinburg store serves the style bbq I was expecting.

We went there for the first time and was not disappointed, the food was excellent and Liz was our waitress and everything was out of this world. I can't say enough great things about Liz and the 492. We will be back.

If you are looking for great BBQ food, this is the place. The food was excellent, Liz was our waitress, and she was fantastic, very attentive on our needs, and by far, the best waitress we have had in a long time. I would very highly recommend this place. We are definitely going back again.
Not worth rating but here I go, Service was extremely bad some girl rolled her eyes at me when we asked for a menu politely. Food was cold. (The only good thing about the restaurant was one of the waitress named Ruby did an excellent job she was taking care of mostly all the customers and still had a smile on her face 👍) They need more waitresses like her.

Very expensive for what you get, food is tasty but portions are poor, powder lemonade is a sugar bomb.

I’ve been to many places in Kansas City, St. Louis, Oklahoma, to Nebraska, even have had ribs from Australia, these ribs are easily in the top 2 or 3 ribs I’ve had. Very highly recommend!!!!
