    3 Meats & 2 Sides hot links, pulled pork beans coleslaw
    Veronica J.

    Decided to try this place on a whine. We wanted to try as much as we could, they are on the cheaper side, no frills. Service was quick, got our food in less than 5 minutes. We got 2, 3 meats 2 sides with all the sauces. Hot links were good, I've never had it so I wasn't expecting it to be thinly sliced like it was. Chicken and tritip were also thinly sliced and were pretty good. Brisket was shredded which I was sort of off put by, but it was ok. Brisket is normally my favorite. Pulled pork was good and probably my favorite meat in the order. All the meat had that good Smokey bbq flavor, Some of the meats were on the drier side so you definitely need the bbq sauce, we liked the sweeter one. Potatoe salad was great Coleslaw was good I wouldn't get the beans again but they weren't bad. Just not the typical sweet bbq beans and also not the chili style. Definitely worth a try the price is great and you get a decent amount of food

    3/20/2025 trying this place for the first time. 2 meats 1 side. Everything was good but I wasn't WOWED. Without the sauce everything was a bit dry. A little sodium would be nice. The bbq sauce was the best part, slightly spicy with good flavor, but they barely gave me any sauce. Next time will definitely need to order more sauce on the side. I got two plates so I tried the tri tip,chicken breast,rice pilaf and then brisket,pork ribs with potatoe salad

    It's been about 5 years since I ate at Maw & Paw' s BBQ in Clovis. I found it to be much the same - counter ordering in a restaurant of what I call "Barbecue Funky". I love it. Frank, the employee who greeted me and my wife as we exited our vehicle is a great asset to the establishment. I asked what was cooking as he closed the smoker which is prominently placed out front, and he immediately asked me if I wanted a peek. He had just placed a bunch of meat pieces that he called pork collars. I was interested in these since I have been previously unaware of that cut of meat. He exp the cut to me, My wife and I each ordered the 2 meat plates - hers was pork rib and tri tip with potato salad and mine was chipped brisket (a sample had me hooked) and pulled pork collars with their three bean BBQ beans. The rib was tender and tasteful, the tri tip, although not cooked to my medium rare fondness, was tasty. Her potato salad, she said, was delicious. The brisket? came out thinly sliced and dry. It was not the chipped brisket i had tasted earlier It did not look like brisket or taste like brisket. This was the only disappointment of the meal. On the other hand, the pulled pork from the pork collars was the star of the show. Delicious. The beans were good. Food portions were large, prices were very fair and overall I liked the place. I liked the staff, I loved the pulled pork. Go get some!

    Our new fave BBQ place in town! Fast service. Excellent brisket and pastrami. And oh my the sauces are amazing! Def recommend the Nuclear Q if you like it extra spicy.

    Tritip, Brisket & Hot Links with Potato Salad and Beans
    Trisha D.

    Don't let the exterior of this building fool you on the quality and taste of this BBQ gem! First thing you notice, the Air Force jets flying overhead. It is AMAZING to see and hear. Second, the welcome from the fella at the counter. Genuinely nice and helpful. The food was fast and served in to go containers. We ate at the restaurant, but definitely needed those to go containers! SO MUCH FOOD! Let's talk about the BBQ sauces for a minute... the best I've tased. The Sweetie was subtle. The Smokey was perfect! The Hottie was my favorite! And, I did try the Nuclear. It was so good, but, small amounts! There is a challenge that involves that sauce of your into that stuff. We will definitely return here for BBQ.

    The brisket was absolutely delicious. Since this order was DoorDash, I did not get to sit down but rather just pick up! The place is very nice and clean, and the staff is very friendly. I got myself the pawtatoe and it was fantastic!

    Brisket & Rib plate
    Bishop 2.

    Not really sure how I fell about this place, I ask for brisket and they gave me pot roast meat what happen to slices of meat like Texas style. Ribs are decent can be more tender. 3 out of 5 cause I felt like there's no passion behind this food

    Been going here for many years and finally getting to that long awaited review. If you're looking…read morefor a good tri-tip sandwich, look no further! Dog House Grill has the BEST tri-tip sandwiches ever! Trust me, I have tried others and nothing compares. Upon arrival, parking is always full. If you have some time to wait, it will start to clear slowly. Entrance always has a long line to order food. Another way to order is inside where you find a table by the bar area and be served by a waiter/waitress. The ambiance is sports related so you'll see big screen TVs everywhere with all kind of sports playing and sports decor on the walls. Seating can be a bit of a wait since it's always busy so you kinda have to stand around and wait for tables to clear out or you might even get lucky and find one right away. Ordering is easy, big screens for menus upon entering and cashiers waiting to take your order. Once you order your food, it's a bit of a wait until they call your number. Our order today was 2 tri tip sandwiches and a side of fries. Totaling out $40. - Tri-tip sandwiches are $17 each. Worth it every single time. 1000/10 - Side of fries is actually a pretty large order. Seasoned a bit and for the size and taste 8/10 All in all, a great place to eat. I crave this often and it's located near the Savemart Center/Fresno State area which you can't miss. You can even smell it from a close distance. But in all seriousness, go try it. You won't regret it.

After waiting to get in it took 40 minutes to get our food if not longer. We got a few things 1. Fried chicken - it was good, crispy and juicy 2. Ribs - we hated these they were drenched in sauce. I would prefer sauces on the side. It ruined them and they were on the tough side. 3. Rice and gravy - enjoyed this 4. Spaghetti - it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Had a strange aftertaste 5. Spicy cabbage - it was not spicy it was sweet and gooey and it was not good 6. Cornbread - a bit burnt for our liking 7. Lemon pudding cake - this was decent but also overly sweet. By the time we left the staff warmed up to having people there. They also charged 2 dollars for water which I thought was not okay. Water should be free at any restaurant. We paid 6 dollars for koolaid as well which is very high but it was good. Our entire bill was 46 and I feel like for what we got it wasn't a good deal. The restrooms were disgusting. I am not sure if I would be back. I was really looking forward to this place but I'll stick with chef Paul's.

This is real deal bbq. Brisket was fantastic and the flat was almost as soft as the point (google brisket flat and point if you don't know). Ribs were a perfect bite off. Tri tip was cooked was cooked to my satisfaction and the flavor was great. I ate all my Cole slaw (trust me that means something) and the beans were fire!! Everything was pleasantly smoky.

What's convenient is they have a posted paper at the front to tell you what they ran out of, so you know when you order. They ran out of their 2 cobblers, chicken lollipop (I usually find that they run out of this often) and pork belly today. Took 10 mins to get food after ordering. A good amount of spots to eat inside and outside. We ordered two 2-meat plates + cornbread. All in all, we had their brisket, burnt ends, tri-tip, and ribs + coleslaw, potato salad, Mac & cheese, and beans as sides. We've tried almost everything at earlier visits and burnt ends are still my fav. All meats are tasty with their special rub, as well as their OG bbq sauce on the burnt ends. No notes for any of the sides- just delicious! Also if you like some heat, definitely get their spicy BBQ sauce on the side. This will forever be my fav BBQ spot!
