Have had MTJTT on the todo list for a while now. Following them on Instagram and the food always looked great. So it was a big disappointment today when driving over half an hour to get bad bbq. Starting with the good, the hamburger patties were the best meat in the meal. Followed by the tritip which was on the Mac and cheese. The brisket on the burger was really dry. It needed bbq sauce to get down. The ribs looked like they were cremated. I know some people dig "bark." But there was more bark than meat and the ribs were tough. The potato salad was pretty bland. And the Mac and cheese was as well. Even tge bbq sauce seemed plain. It was just a bad experience for as much as we spent. Maybe if they were closer id try again. But at between the distance and price, we won't be back. read more

My husband and I drove in from Fresno to eat here. We got here even before they were open at 11 and there were a few people in line already, so we figured that was a good sign! We were really looking forward to dining here and wanted to like it, but left disappointed. My first gripe with them is they do not have a posted menu anywhere but at their window, so you basically don't have access to the menu until you get up to order. It was our first time so we had no idea what we wanted. I felt rushed once it was our turn to order. Secondly, the food itself is underwhelming. We got the 1/2 rack of ribs, potato salad, BBC burger, and the tri tip mac and cheese. Upon opening the container with the ribs, I was immediately disappointed. Their bbq has very thick bark on it, as in the whole entire rack of ribs looked like it was cremated! There was more bark than there was meat, which made the majority of it very dry. I threw half of it away. The potato salad was undercooked and just meh. It didn't have much flavor. The BBC burger did have plenty of the brisket, but the brisket was also dry. My husband said the best part of it was the beef patty. The tri tip Mac and cheese was edible, but nothing extraordinary. They threw on some meat, bbq sauce, and canned jalapeños. Overall, we spent $50 and drove 40 minutes for bad bbq. We love supporting local businesses and don't mind spending our hard earned money on good food, but this place was not it. Many people seem to like it, but if you've had good bbq, you may agree with us! read more

Food was great service was great but a little pricey $26.00 for a sandwich a side and a can of coke under an open barn is a little much for Madera! read more

I LOVE MTJTT! When I go, I get tri tip and/or the brisket by the 1/2 pound. Both have perfect texture, great flavor. The smoke ring on the tri tip and the bark on the brisket are impressive. And it's never dry, like some smoked meat can be. For those mentioning price, they're cheaper than their competitors, for a better product. If you go buy a tri tip to cook at home, it'll be around $30 for one roast. Brisket is even higher. Then consider the process to smoke it can take half a day or more. MTJTT isn't cheap, but it's not a rip off. It's a fair price for what you're getting. The location is good, close to everything in the city, but off on a side street, so it's more peaceful without having to drive forever to get there. I've been there a couple times now on triple-digit days, and there's always a nice comfortable breeze in the covered area. I hope they catch on, and expand. I'm a huge fan! read more

I made baked potato with the brisket and barbecue sauce. I will take the kids there again to pick up dinner or lunch.

Unfortunately not what we remembered. Macaroni and cheese had no sauce, no flavor, and tasted like salted pasta. The corn was so salty that it was inedible. The meat was tender but very peppery, close to being too peppery to eat. The amount of food is also not worth the price. Sad to see things have gone downhill since our last visit. read more

Loaded Mac was also loaded with water seems like the noodles weren't drained properly and their tiniest amount of tri tip for $18 dollars that's crazy business read more

Welllll... Previous posts by MTJTT showed baked potatoes-NOPE, banana pudding-NOPE, elote grilled corn-NOPE. Got an ok sandwich (could have gotten same plain sandwich IN Fresno!) Final insult was being charged an extra dollar for BBQ sauce. Really! The staff were nice & apologetic for all the things they didn't have. Sorry, may be ok if you live in Madera, but not worth the drive. read more

Got the 50/50 sandwich and it was ausome! The sides were great too. Highly recommended this place (truck)!

Almost $20 for a plate and this little amount of macaroni the price is not worth it at all read more

More Than Just The Tip - Brisket sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Madera, California

First time trying this place, they didn't have a menu up. The only sides they did have were corn and Mac and cheese. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich with Mac and cheese. There was a line right at opening. The service was decent. About 25 mins. The tritip was well seasoned. The bread was overpowering. Strong yeast taste. I did try to mask the taste with the bbq sauce but it didn't help. The mac and cheese was bland and was small portion with a $22 price tag. Overall I don't feel the sandwich with the Mac and cheese was worth the high price. Maybe if it came with another side or a bigger portion of the Mac and cheese and or a drink. I don't think it's worth a trip if you haven't already tried it. read more

More Than Just The Tip A food truck that serves BBQ in the City of Madera, mostly on the weekends from what I've seen on their Instagram. They post the dates, hours of operation, and any specials on IG. The truck will remain open until it sells out. It was my first visit. I was looking to buy a whole tri-tip because a storm was rolling through and I was supposed to BBQ for dinner. The owner told me each sandwich has a half pound of meat and that he would sell me tri-tip and brisket by the pound. I purchased 2 lbs. (four sandwiches worth) of tri-tip for $40 and a 1/2 lb of brisket for $17.50. Both meats had good flavor and were not overcooked. The tri-tip was sliced thin and the brisket was tender. They sell sandwiches piled with meat too. I saw them making the sandwiches at the window and they looked good. I'd try one on my next visit. read more

Never tried it because when I pulled up , I wasn't greeted at all . The person in the truck appeared rude . For those prices I know I can Bbq better than have to be treated with poor customer service . I left and I'll never be back. read more

Yum!!! Get there right when they open. I tried the 50/50 and it was delicious! My friends got the tombstone and loved it! read more

Omg! Pricey but BEYOND worth it. Everything is loaded with flavor and good portions. A must try!

My husband and I went today and arrived 20 minutes before they opened so we could not have to wait in long line. My husband was order #1 and had to wait while 4 other orders were done before ours mind you we had basic on the menu easy items. We waited 25 minutes after they opened to finally get our order. We were so frustrated with the service we wont be returning and it angers me because the food is really amazing. read more

The food is amazing here but you got to get there early or you will not end up with anything. They sell out quick.

Best brisket ever! The side dish of corn or mac & cheese is really not necessary. The sandwich alone is worth the $18 price.

Some of the best bbq I've ever tried!! We drive from Merced just to try them out! I recommend them to anyone that wants great food!

Great food and taste very very good ribs are awesome go quick they sale out fast great service polite and takes time to explain menu mmmm good!!!!!! read more

Great food that has tremendous taste! Owner very friendly. Looking forward to trying other things on menu!

Not going to lie, I was pretty disappointed. I first tried More Than Just The Tip a couple years ago because a friend of mine recommended it. I ordered the Tomb Stone with Brisket and instantly fell in love. The brisket was soft, tender, juicy, melt in your mouth. The smoke ring and the bark was perfect, everything you want in a brisket and then some. I found my self so full that I couldn't even finish the sandwich. Fast forward to today, I ordered the same exact sandwich, and let's just say the experience was no where near the same. Not only was the Sandwich about half the size as I remember, but I ended up spending just under five dollars more than I had originally paid a couple years ago. Now I understand running a business is a difficult endeavour and not for the faint of heart. The economy is rough right now and prices go up accordingly, but that doesn't mean you should sacrifice not only quality but quantity as well. The Brisket this time around had a very small smoke ring, it was not very tender, the bark was kinda sad, and very under salted. I finished the Sandwich in a little under ten minutes and honestly I was still a little hungry. Sad to say I won't be a return customer. I really hope once they get the restaurant up and running they can focus on the quality and quantity a little more, but almost thirty dollars for a single sandwich with some mediocre bland Mac n cheese is not okay. I'd also like to note when I went a couple years ago the BBQ sauce tasted like it was made from scratch and very close to a Texas style BBQ sauce, very thin and vinegary. I know that's not everyone's cup of tea, but to me it really added to the authenticity of the place. This time around I saw the owner walk around with a big jug of sweet baby rays in his hand. I wish nothing but the best for this business. I hope they don't take my feedback negatively but look at it as a way to improve and get back to that original sandwich I once enjoyed. read more

Delicious food and good size portions!! Just wish they had tables to enjoy there!!! Fast service!

I went yesterday with my boyfriend because we saw a TikTok praising this place. I wish I took pictures first, but we were just on the road trying to get something quick and go back to Fresno. But it was pretty disappointing for a barbecue place. I got the tri-tip sandwich It was pretty good. I would give it a solid seven, it was a little bit small for being 16 dollars with a side and I got a side of street corn and it was cold as ice I'm not sure if it was supposed to be cold but it was. My boyfriend got the half brisket half tri-tip sandwich, I took one bite of it, and the brisket was dry I could barely chew it. He got a side of mac & cheese it was ok, I took a bite right when we sat down cause I just wanted one since I'm lactose intolerant and it was more room temperature not even hot. We got our food pretty fast, within five minutes of ordering it, we were the only ones there. But I would say it was not worth it at all, for $40 for two plates that came with a sandwich side and we bought one drink. read more

I heard their meat was delicious but that doesn't do it justice. I don't eat bread so I just got the brisket. It was juicy and tender.

Went there for the second time today. It is hands down the best BBQ I have ever had.

Damn good barbecue! Tried both the brisket & the tri-tip and they did not disappoint. read more

Don't know what you're missing if you haven't tried More Than Just The Tip. Tri-tip, brisket or the 50/50 sandwiches are so tasty. Tender, moist, great flavor and friendly service. So glad we found this hidden treasure!! read more

The food is crazy good and flavorful. I was supposed to take a picture of the food but after the first bite I could not stop. Only suggest would be is a generous amount of BBQ sauce on the loaded Mac. The breakfast Burrito is perfect the way it is. Will be coming back. Service is family friendly and oriented. You can tell that this food is served with love and purpose. read more
