We've all eaten lotsa tri-tip, and/or cooked it ourselves. I know I have. And yes, as has been said, hands down the tenderest meat I've ever had. Nice smoke, sweet onions and red peppers complement a rich sweet bbq sauce...nice job, Napkins!!!

What an amazing tri-tip sandwich!! I was here a few years ago and it was chunks of tri-tip. Now it's thin sliced! Making it much better. Very tasty! Definitely recommend stopping in

I tried a chicken sandwich , tri tip sandwich and some taters. All of them were way better than I had expected. Definitely worth the drive from visalia to traver just to pick up dinner. I'll be going back very soon.
