Grill Masters BBQ — Restaurant in Clovis

Okay, this place is really good, I mean REALLY good. I was waffling between 4 and 5 stars. So here's what is great: the smoked meats are some of the best BBQ I've had in Fresno. I had the tri-tip and pulled pork tonight and they were tender, juicy, smoky, but not overbearing. The house made barbecue sauces are at least as good as famous brands and in my opinion a lot better. They have great tasting shoestring french fries or if you get chili on your fries they give you the crinkle version. I had the mini Matt burger which is layered with bacon, pulled pork, and tri-tip between 2 patties. Simply amazing. Absolutely a must try!

So why not five stars? I think with a few tweaks you can get there. My only two critiques are that some of the food was too salty and the burger patties were just average (didn't seem hand made) and a bit overcooked. If they put as much attention into their burgers as they do their smoke meats, they would be amazing. Regarding the salt, I usually oversalt my french fries according to my wife (and I admit I like a lot of salt). But I had a hard time getting these down because they were way too salty. My chili was also very salty and the combination made hard for me to finish. The flavors were great and I hope this was just a fluke. I will definitely come back and try all these dishes again

Did I mention that the staff are great: serious barbequers with a sense of customer service. And if you are a Raiders fan, you gotta see...

Will not order catering from them again. Called on a Wednesday and the person taking the order was not happy. As a matter of fact he was annoyed and questioned as to why they had so many orders for that Friday. When I asked for an estimate of my bill he sounded very irritated. Had to call again on Thursday to add more tritip and ribs to my order, this time I spoke to a very kind gentleman. I asked that the add ons be packed separately from my previous order and that the bbq chicken be sliced thin. I was assured request would be done. Came pick up day, all the orders were mixed together. The chicken was not sliced thin. When questioned, the guy whom I assumed i spoke to on the phone the first time just said unapologetically “I never got it” Did not offer any bbq sauce, had to ask for some. When he brought the sauce they were just the regular ones. I asked if I could have some of the spicy sauce, he then replied “well this is what comes with the order” i asked much he would charge for some. He didn’t give any answer, just walked away then came back with a small container. Before leaving my friend put some $ on the tip jar and thanked him for his help (I wouldn’t have) but the guy did not even acknowledge my friend. Ok! I get that he may be overwhelmed, but that is not a way to treat a paying customer. Paid close to $300 and was not worth it. Very...

WHERE HAS THIS PLACE BEEN ALL MY LIFE!! When driving up we see a simple smoker in the parking lot, emitting it's wonderful aroma for all to smell. When we go into this magical place you are greated by more wonderful smells, Benny who I believe owns the place, and all in all just a warm atmosphere. The walls are lines with RAIDER Paraphernalia, this site truly does warm the heart of any football lover. I order the New York steak sandwich with homemade macaroni salad. The sandwich is SO flavorful, I tell you what makes me proud that I love BBQ!! The roll was slightly warm, with the crunch on the edge that we all know and love from a sandwich French roll! Now let's talk about the steak, tall about juicy with just the right amount of smoke in every bite!! The type of wood Benny uses is a guarded secret, and should forever remain so, as it really adds that special something. The macaroni salad had just enough of the celery & red onions that one comes to expect from this type of salad; the difference with this salad is these items are not the star it's the macaroni that shines!! My husband got the tri tip sandwich along with the fries, to which I liberated several until we decided to order another order of fries. We have vowed to come back at least monthly, personally I can't wait to try the other...
