    Pulled pork sandwich
    Veronica J.

    I don't understand how this business won best bbq. Service was decent, they do have signs saying it's not fast food and everything is made to order. The place has lots of raiders memorabilia. Looking past that it's a bit dingy which is odd, since the outside looks so new. Food was not it. We ordered pull pork sandwich with fries & a brisket sandwich. Pulled pork was flavorless and really wet. Bun was soggy, the texture was very soft but too many bites of fats. Brisket was thinly sliced kinda tough, salty but not other flavor. No smokey flavor just nothing. The bbq sauce had a sweetness to it was it was also plain. Fries were ok but I didn't come for fries. I hate to be so harsh in a review but I was so disappointed, how did this place beat Mega Texas?

    Brisket plate
    Saysamon M.

    Stopped by (9/13/25) on a whim after leaving Costco next door and boy are we glad ! We ordered a bbq plate with brisket , bbq chili beans and Mac salad ($19) and added pork spare ribs for just $4 more. That plate would have been enough for 2 people but no , we also ordered the special which was half a smoked chicken and 2 more sides (12.99) and both were soooo good. You can really taste the smoke and the seasoning was perfect. Pork spare ribs are fall off the bone and the brisket was juicy! The smoked chicken was very well seasoned and not dry at all! Food was fire! Tip * if you want a KICK in your mouth , try the ghost pepper bbq sauce. Service was amazing, we met the owner Jesse who talked to my husband about the raiders ( my husband is a die hard) the place is decorated with Las Vegas Raiders memorabilia and they have sports playing on all 3 tvs there . We were told that during Raider games, if you show up in Raider gear there are deals on the beers ! This place is worth trying, good food, service and beer !

    Went on Wednesday around 2 pm not too busy had a table of 5 and we had a party 5. I had the Mini Matty Ulta meat burger combo which was outstanding. I was not able to finish could not imagine ordering the full Matty burger. The restroom was clean but not a big a big place but we were able to put two tables together to sit comfortably. Service was fine and took about 10 minutes to get food which was not a problem. Ambiance was fine not a fancy place but a nice place. Look forward to trying to the bbq plates next time, Someone in our party order macaroni salad and said it was really good and our French fries were crispy and good. Would recommend and make sure you come hungry.

    All this is the toasted bun with chicken nothing else $16.. Only the leadership of the country or should I say corporation?

    When you first walk in the smells, take you over the chicken is tasty and their sauce is great. I just can't get over how fast prices have tripled and double in the last three years only in the United States. We will pay this much for food, but the service was decent in the restaurant looks busy.

    Such a delicious tri tip sandwich to the flavor of the meat to the bbq sauce. I like how they even walked the food next door while I was having a beer at the brewery

    Friendly service in a homestyle ambience. Seating inside and outside. Order at the counter. I tried the brisket sandwich. Meat was fairly tender and juicy. Needed the bbq sauce that came on the side, as it needed a flavor boost. My husband had a burger and fries. He said the burger was good, good sized. Fries were typical crinkle cut. They have breakfast burritos on their menu that might be worth a try. They also are a few doors down from Summer Fox brewery, so I could see grabbing a burger and then going over and getting a pint at some point! I honestly probably wouldn't get the brisket again, but there are many other items on the menu I would go back and try.

    Big portions and plenty of meat lovers' happiness here! The brisket was nice and tender, the pork ribs literally fell off the bone, and the tri-tip sandwich was loaded. Oh, and the burger? HUGE. Beans were the star side--super flavorful. Rice pilaf and the BBQ sauce were just okay (kinda tasted like it came from a bottle), but honestly, the meats and portion sizes made up for it. Definitely a solid BBQ spot when you're hungry and ready to feast!

    I had heard of Grill Masters BBQ in Clovis, but due to the 3 1/2 star Yelp rating, I didn't feel compelled to try it out until I received my copy of "Best of Central California Peoples Choice" book in my mailbox. I noticed that under the heading of BBQ restaurants, Grill Masters got the second place Silver award. So, my wife and I, nearby on some business today, decided to try it out. We met and spoke with some of the family owners: Jesse and Maribel. We also met and talked with Jeremy, one of the cookers who gave has a tour of the pits in action (see pictures). Each was friendly and helpful, giving us the feeling of caring for their customers. Jesse and I discussed barbecue in general, his 25 years of cooking 'cue, and a few others related subjects. I felt I made a new friend. We selected a 1 meat plate, added a second meat, with two sides: 3 large ribs, about a half pound of brisket, which Jesse told me they did "differently" (than Texas style) and added they did "Clovis style barbecue." The sides were Cowboy beans and macaroni salad. Both sides were good. The beans were very good. The meats were different-especially the brisket which was very thinly sliced flat; no fatty point served with it. Although it was good meat, it did not meet my expectations or any previous experience eating brisket. It was more like roast beef well done. I'll pass on that next time. The ribs were delicious, even though falling off the bone is not my choice. I prefer more resistance - it being necessary to bite a clean bite off the bone. They were tender and juicy. I will order them again. The price of the plate came to $23.75, which for today's standards is very good. My wife and I each ate our fill and took home about half of what we were served. All in all, Grill Master's was a nice, enjoyable experience. Don't listen to the naysayers- make your own mind up. Visit Grill Master's

    BBQ Pork Plate, sides, potato Salad, and Chili Beans
    Jj R.

    If you're looking for great BBQ in Clovis, Grill Master BBQ is worth the visit. I had the pork ribs, which were fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and served in generous portions. The seasoning leaned slightly on the salty side but didn't take away from the flavor. Out front, they showcase two wood fire smokers, a testament to their authentic BBQ skills. Mastering fire and hand-stoking coals is an art, and it's clear they've nailed it--everything else in the technique follows. For sides, I went with chili beans and potato salad. While I'm usually not a fan of potato salad, theirs was surprisingly tasty. The chili was a standout--perfect color, texture, and thickness with a light spice that finishes with a kick of cayenne. Delicious. Service was exceptional. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and greeted us with smiles that never wavered. The ambience adds a unique touch, with a die-hard Raiders fan vibe and a man-cave look that gives the place a lot of character. Overall, well done to the team at Grill Master BBQ. Wishing you continued success!

    Brisket sandwich combo

    The food was delicious!! We had the brisket sandwich combo. The meat was seasoned just right, not overly smoked, nice and juicy. The crinkle cut fries were well seasoned and crunchy!!

    I've driven past this spot more times than I can count and every single time I was like... "one…read moreday." It just had that look, you know the kind of place that's either gonna change your life or ruin your afternoon. Plot twist: it changed my life. Slightly dramatic? Maybe. Accurate? Also yes. My fiancée isn't really a burger person, so getting her to agree to this felt like closing a high stakes negotiation. I finally got the green light and IMMEDIATELY knew I made the right call. I went full send and ordered a triple smash burger with loaded fries because self control does not exist when I'm hungry. And bro... this thing was DISRESPECTFUL in the best way possible. Crispy edges, juicy center, cheese melted like it had a purpose in life. Every bite felt like gluttony. The Hammy fries? Yeah those didn't stand a chance. Gone. Eliminated. No survivors. It had a effing burger patty on top. What I really liked is that it's simple but done right. No gimmicks, no trying to be fancy just straight up dialed in smash burgers that hit every time. The kind of place where you take your first bite and just nod silently like "mmhmm... yup.... That's right." Even my fiancée who came in skeptical was like "okay wait this is actually good," which is basically a Michelin star equivalent to me. If you're in Fresno and you like burgers (or even if you think you don't), do yourself a favor and pull up. Just be prepared to leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

The vibe here is a 50's burger and shakes type of place. They have indoor dining and a drive-thru; we chose the drive-thru option. The menu is classic burgers, fries, shakes, along with fish n chips, fried shrimp, and a fried fish sandwich. We ordered two cheese burgers, a double jalapeno burger, mozzarella sticks, and two sundaes. Everything is made fresh to order, so you might be waiting, but it's totally worth it! My burger had two huge patties, bacon, cheese, and tons of jalapenos. I just got the burger, no combo, and it was stuffed! My son loved his burger and devoured it. Stated it was the best burger he's had. My wife loved her burger as well and we both loved the mozzarella sticks. The burger combos came with fries and a drink. Their fries here are very good. They add a spiced seasoning to the fries that boosts the flavor without being too salty. The sundaes were a great way to end the meal and the ice cream tasted like real slow churned ice cream.

The ortega burger looked good and daughter in law like it alot. Same veggies but with a mild green roasted Anaheim chili (ortega brand) on the beef patty. We also ordered a bag of fries to share.

What's even better is that the burger is so damn tasty. Spoiler alert - they add thousand island to your burger so if you don't like that you may want to say no sauce on your burger. The burger comes standard with lettuce , tomato, onion , and pickles. I don't like pickles or onions so I get mine without. The burger is fresh, the cheese is tasty and the bun holds up nicely. I wouldn't change a thing on these burgers. Similar to In -n- out , but more tasty and the patties are bigger! The fries were a little under seasoned , but I do love a crinkle fry. The onion rings were crispy, seasoned perfectly and went well with the ranch or ketchup. I love this place. It is one of those spots that is good but doesn't act like it.

I was very impressed with the quality and the flavor. I ordered the western burger and my husband ordered the pastrami burger. They were both out of this world delicious. We also ordered the chicken strip which was crispy and seasoned well and we also ordered the fried mushrooms which were also crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Additionally!!! They had a sign in the drive through that said Free Pupcups, and since we had our dog with us, we asked to get one. They have peanut butter or bacon flavored whipped cream with a animal cookie safe for dogs. I dipped my finger in the whip cream to try it and it was not sweet at all which I was very happy about to give to my dog. As if that wasn't enough, the lady at the drive through even gave us a second cup with 3 additional animal cookie dog treats! This experience was so satisfying that we have decided to come here next time we are craving burgers. The staff was so generous and friendly & the food was amazing and yummy. Even the drive through menu was organized neatly for easy ordering. Never again will we go to McDonald's or Burger King because this place has better food for the same price.
