The tri tip sandwiches are excellent. We love the barbeque sauce that comes with the sandwich. They often times have other items to buy. Check it out. Yummy! read more

The pulled pork sandwich was excellent, with contrasting textures and balanced flavors that combined smoky, tender meat with tangy sauce, crunchy slaw, and a soft, toasted bun. It was succulent, saucy, and deeply comforting. The pork was rich and exceptionally moist without being mushy, carrying deep smoky and savory flavors from the slow-smoking process and well-seasoned rub. The BBQ sauce was equally well-balanced--subtly spiced, tangy, and slightly sweet. It complemented the richness of the pork rather than masking it, and I appreciated that it was neither overly drippy nor sticky. The vinegary housemade slaw added the perfect contrast, bringing fresh crunch along with a briny, acidic sharpness that balanced the savory meat beautifully. The garlic-butter French roll held everything together nicely without falling apart, yet remained soft enough to absorb the sauce. I was not nearly as impressed with the tri-tip sandwich, which happens to be their best seller, though I still enjoyed it overall. The tri-tip itself was on point: thinly sliced, tender, medium-rare smoky beef piled onto a garlic-toasted French roll and complemented by tangy BBQ sauce. It delivered smoky, savory, juicy flavors with a satisfying contrast between the tender meat and the crunchy bread, which held the juices well without becoming soggy. That said, I thought the sandwich could have used a little more meat, which likely explains the popularity of the Jump Tri-Tip -- a larger version of the regular tri-tip sandwich that adds more meat on the same excellent bread for only a few dollars more. I also felt the sandwich needed an additional element to elevate it further--perhaps caramelized onions for sweetness, melted cheese for richness, or a sharper horseradish cream or garlic aioli to add more depth and contrast. Service was warm and friendly throughout, and I am always greeted with a smile. read more

There's honestly nothing bad I can say about this little gem on Cedar. I've never had a bad experience here. The tri-tip sandwich is my go to and it never disappoints, tender, flavorful meat every single time. It's great as is, but I usually add the BBQ sauce on top, which just takes it to another level. The bread is buttery and garlicky, exactly how I like it, and it pairs perfectly with everything. The pulled pork is great too, and the hot link sandwich is another solid choice, full of flavor with just the right amount of heat. This time I only ordered the rice pilaf, but I usually get the chili beans as well, they've got a nice little kick of spice. It's a bit farther from me, but not nearly far enough to keep me from back! read more

Yummy! I've always noticed this place but never went to it until recently. The service was EXTREMELY quick! Like as soon as I paid my food was basically ready. The food was nice and hot all the way home! If you do eat there, just know it's outdoor seating with two full-size picnic tables with a tarp over it. The parking lot is right next to the seats though, so honestly wouldn't hurt to just eat in your car if you wanted. The tri-tip was delicious! The meat was very tender and juicy and I appreciated the sauce on the side! The rice pilaf was just okay. It's not like it was the main dish, but served as an excellent side. The prices are also great! read more

Okay, now I understand the good reviews! Came here to order to-go just to realized they were actually meant for to-go orders. No indoor dining, they do have a small area with benches and tables to eat... if you cant wait to take it home. Tri-tip is perfectly done. Juicy, tasty but not salty! Note that I took a bite as soon as I received my order. Service was quick. read more

Food was amazing! The bread has a nice garlic butter glaze. It still had that nice soft touch inside while maintaining its outer crisp. The meat was a solid 8.4/10.. smokiness was there, needs more juicy "Tri -tip" flavor I would say. Service was mid. If you hungry for a quick good Tri tip. This your place! read more

Always a go to when you're hungry and no time to cook. Delicious food friendly quick service and nice sitting area

Been by this place several times when I go shopping next-door. This time I was with my siblings and mom and I mentioned the tri-tip sandwiches so they convinced me to pull in and order some. A small place, letting a gentleman working both nice and polite. So I ordered us a couple of the jumbo tri-tip sandwiches sandwiches or full meat and flavorful added the barbecue sauce they provide for extra bowl taste. did enjoy the sandwiches have no problem stopping by for another one when I'm in the area. read more

Quick, no frills place, with window service. Consistently great sandwiches. They have lots of other things on the menu that are great, also, but that's always my go to meal. The sesame roll is toasted and buttery. It is never soggy and just thick enough to hold the Tri tip. The BEST. the BBQ sauce is honey thick, sweet and tangy. You can pick up a whole tri-tip, and they have great sides. Service is friendly and efficient. Everyone there is really nice. There's a few tables and chairs outside, beneath a pop-up shade, if you would like to eat there. read more

Amazing food, tri tip sandwiches are great. Sides are great, cooked and made fresh daily. Service is great, try it, you won't regret it.

Mike's grill should be a Fresno landmark. My go to is their tri tip sandwich made with Texas toast and drizzled with their homemade BBQ sauce. We would also cater from Mike's as well. If you're looking up a place for a quick bite then stop by Mike's! read more

I have always passed by this place.. and my fiancée and I finally tried it out. We went on a Saturday around noon, there was only one couple ahead of us. Service was quick! We ordered a Jumbo Tri-Tip, a small Coleslaw and a small rice pilaf to share. There is minimal outside seating... so we decided to bring the food home. The tri-tip sandwich is VERY GOOD!!! It was tender and the BBQ sauce on the side was a good touch! I would come back for this! The rice pilaf was delicious, and flavorful! The coleslaw had too much vinegar for my taste. I'd skip this next time. read more

Mike's Grill - Lil spot to sit and eat , all outdoors - Barbeque Near Me - Fresno, California

Jumbo far less 'Jumbo' than in the past. No WAY it was "over 1/2lbs of meat" as STATED on the menu board. Black, cashier, while polite at the window, was LOUD and crude with his constant "bitches, put your dick away" and other 'dick talk.' Made me want to grab the tip back as I was eating (latex gloves put to good use) at the ledge by the window. Not a wholesome atmosphere and makes me feel like I'm supporting the wrong business. Must have heard 'Dick' and 'BITCH' 6 or more times while eating. Covid is OVER and yet they can't be bothered to put the tables and chairs back out to eat on. Really? I'm pretty sure they're not even weighing the meat on the jumbo because every pic I took of one posted here in the past was noticeably larger, visually and enjoyment/taste wise... The kind of loud and offensive banter inside the shed left a bad taste in my mouth. Get your minds out of the gutter and focus on making a Jumbo a Jumbo and not a knock-off. -G read more

On Cedar and Herndon avenue is placed this sandwich booth shack that sandwiches are absolutely amazing. The prices are highly reasonable and the food is the best ever. My family and I usually get the tri tip and pulled pork sandwiches. The service is very fast and friendly they take your order right away. The best times to stop there on your lunch time right when they open up at 11am. There is ample parking on site and in the shopping area next door. The some table and chairs for the customers to enjoy their meal on site. The outside setting is good to take in the fresh air. We highly recommend you stop by this yummy sandwich shop in the Fresno area. read more

I could drink the BBQ sauce. I prefer this tri tip sandwich over dog house grill. That's a bold statement

Okay, we wanted something quick but that would taste good. Great choice! We had the Jumbo Tri-Tip sandwich with a small side of rice pilaf to share and it was a lot of food. Including 2 drinks we spent around $20. Can't beat that with a stick!! read more

These guys have never disappointed me, every bit of their food is top-notch in my opinion

They have the Best Tri-tip sandwich. Definitely better than dog house grill. Bbq sauce is good also

Have heard a lot of good things about here, so I gave it a try, and was I not disappointed. I got one of their regular tri-tip sandwiches and Oh man.... what a trip. The meat is so tender,juicy, and flavorful, with a generous serving for the regular. It is even served on a garlic buttered roll, which just elevates it to an insane flavor symphony enough to make a grown man cry ( myself included). Service was great as well he was pleasant and friendly, and food was prepared promptly with little to no wait time. This place is entirely outside so I don't recommend eating here if it's insanely hot like I did as there's no fans or even a lot of seating but there's at least some port a potties out. The food is so worth it. I definitely will be coming back here, and I'm going to get the bigger sandwich next time. read more

Great tri tip on the go! I've been to Mikes a few times in my travels to Fresno and the consistency is key! I go with the jumbo with the beans. Though I may have to try the rice pilaf... Guy ahead of me left the line and got in his car when he heard it was gone for the day. Running out of food is a good sign for me that we are getting fresh day of food! It's worth the stop and the return trip!! read more

Alright, let's get to the money shot, that's what we all want! Friend on mine mentioned this place to me (I've drove by it millions of times & had no idea) & said its pretty good, try it out. So I did... I got pretty much what I expected based on visuals from the pics. Meat (tri tip), sesame bun & sauce, along with a frtio boat. And, it tasted just as I expected, pretty good! Wasn't to dry, sliced correctly, decent flavor & most importantly it's not chewy! So if you like a plain Jane tri tip sandwich, this is a good little spot to check out. read more

After hearing about this place from a friend I stopped by on the way home to pick up a couple of tri-tip sandwiches for the family. Placed my order and did not have to wait long for the sandwiches. Nice sized portion of meat and the flavor was nice and smoky. The side of bbq sauce was tasty and made a great addition to our sandwiches. Will be back to try the other items on the menu. read more

I was first introduced to Mike's a couple months ago when my friend had Mikes catered to a birthday party she hosted for her husband. Since then, I think about Mike's almost on an every other day basis. Mikes is in the RN market shopping center, tucked away in a corner of the parking lot. To be honest, I've stopped by RN plenty of times, and have never noticed Mikes. I got the pulled pork sandwich and the husband got the jumbo tritip sandwich, and we got the chili to share. I hate Chili, and after the party, I could not stop thinking about their chili. It needs to be put in a contest. Their sandwiches are delicious. My husband, who is a bbq snob, says they do their meats better than dog house, but is not a fan of having his sandwich on a hamburger bun. The sandwiches are HUGE, they don't skimp on the meat. We both ate half our sandwiches and save the other half for the next meal. The Cole slaw that comes with the pulled pork sandwich is so good. I'm not sure why when the food was catered, I remembered the slaw was almost pickled, somewhat vinegary, which I loved. When I got it yesterday, it didn't taste pickled at all. Probably one of my favorite quick bbq sandwiches place in town now. read more

The food here ROCKS! ESPECIALLY the tri tip sandwich (and the BBQ sauce!). I am often willing to drive across town JUST to eat here. All the sides are REALLY good too.
