We're Just the T.I.P. (Yes, We Know.)

Serious Smoke, Not-So-Serious Name

Based in Phoenix, Just the T.I.P. is the not-so-serious name behind some very serious smoked meats. We specialize in house-smoked tri-tip, pork belly, and pulled pork — served from our food truck or straight to your event.

Kelly and Darren bring over 21 years of culinary experience to the truck. Every sandwich, slider, and side is built like something they'd actually serve their own family — because they do.

Great food shouldn't require a dress code or a second mortgage. We use high-quality ingredients, smoke everything in-house, and keep portions heavy and prices fair.

With two special-needs children in the family, community is personal. Each month a portion of profits goes to local organizations supporting Spina Bifida & Autism.
