Catering That Brings the Heat
choose from flexible options
House-Smoked Meats Only
Tri-tip, pork belly, pulled pork – smoked low and slow, sliced or piled high on sliders and sandwiches. No shortcuts. No mystery meat.
Built for Big Appetites
From 20 to 200+, we portion heavy so nobody leaves hungry (or sober if you did your part).
Truck or Drop-Off
Full food-truck experience on-site, or we can drop off pans, trays, and buns ready to serve.
Local, Family, & Community Driven
Run by Kelly and Darren, powered by 21+ years in kitchens and two special-needs kiddos at home. A portion of profits goes to Spina Bifida & Autism organizations.
About Us
We’re Just the T.I.P. (Yes, We Know.)
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.
Burgers
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.
Our Philosophy
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.
Giving Back
With two special needs children in the family, community is personal. Each month, a portion of profits goes to local charities and foundations supporting Spina Bifida and Autism.
FAQ's
Please reach out to us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
For larger events (50+), we recommend 2–4 weeks out. For smaller events, reach out and we’ll let you know the soonest we can roll up or drop off.
It depends on truck vs drop-off, but most events start around 20 guests or minimum pound/tray orders. Tell us your situation and we’ll build something that fits.
We’re meat-forward, but we can usually add a few vegetarian-friendly sides or custom options. Gluten-friendly adjustments are available on request.
Absolutely. If “Ouch Ouch You’re on My Pork Belly” doesn’t fly on your invite, we can tone the names down while keeping the flavor up.
Yes, we can provide full disposable serviceware on request—just let us know when you inquire.
Your Event. Our Meat. Zero Stress.
Ready to Feed the Herd?
Whether you’re planning a wedding, office lunch, graduation, or “we just wanted an excuse to eat sliders,” Just the T.I.P. has you covered. Tell us about your event and we’ll send back a custom quote with exactly how much meat you need and how we’ll serve it.
