Hands down the best ribs on the East Coast. Tender, wood smoke flavor, although various delicious sauces offered, I eat a rack naked with nothing on them..they are just that good! Mac and cheese is everything as well. Smoked fried chicken wings are unbelievable. Fried fish and bbq is amazing. This is true southern soul food at its best. My commute with fellow motorcycle riders is 1 hr and 15 minutes down route 460 and worth every moment. We always leave with saddlebags full of food to take home.

Talked with the owner and he told me to write a review so I am. Off the beaten path but what a Gem. The bbq and chicken were amazing. And the sauces add that perfect compliment. Really recommend checking it out. Highly rated for a reason

Visited for lunch today with my partner. We ordered ahead and the food was ready. So can't complain about that. Should have been a quick trip but we became memorized with the hospitality and wonderful conversation from the owner and his wife while the intoxicating scent of his smoker filled the air. Both my partner and I ordered the ribs and the BBQ. Both were amazing and none which made it home to the wives ( which the owner suggested might happen). If you are in the area do yourself the favor of stopping and filling you stomach and your soul. Places like this don't after come around and I pray they open one in Newport News so that I can eat there daily.

Hands down.... Theee BEST BBQ I have ever had and I've had it up and down the east coast. My friend Tip is the man and he almost filled us up on samples alone. I literally drank the BBQ sauce out of the little cup he puts it in. If you are in P'sburg be sure to check him out. He'll be in the little orange and blue building at the bottom of the hill from VSU. If you can't find him, just look for the smoke and follow the smell. Get the Mac/Cheese and Collards. You can thank me later...

Went to a Winery last night and they had a food truck there. The BBQ and ribs were as good as they could be. Best I ever had! Great service and personality from all involved.? Thanks

Stopped by this place today and all I can say is... I've found the best BBQ in Virginia. I pride myself on being a foodie and Tip's did not disappoint. The owner met us outside and began plying us with samples of everything.He, his wife and staff are very warm and friendly. I wanted to order everything on the menu (seriously) but ended up saving it for my next visit.I ordered the ribs, mac and collards and didn't even make it out of the parking lot. Yep, it is that good! The BBQ sauce is on point too. Call before you head down but when they are open be prepared for amazing BBQ.
We stumbled across this place in between games at Virginia State. The food is incredible, as is the service. We ordered the fish and minced BBQ sandwich. So good. He threw in a rib sample as well. Also incredible. If we didn’t have to leave town I would have absolutely come back for ribs!! Highly recommend!

Passed by this place many times, always wanted to check it out, so glad I finally did!!!! Absolutely some of the best food and nicest people you will find in the area!! Everything is SO good. This is now one of our favorite spots. I rarely ever write reviews, but this one definitely deserves my time! Once you try it, you will know why they are the highest rated BBQ place in the area on Google!

If you have not been to Tip's Ribs-BBQ you are missing out. The food is fantastic. We are Oklahoma natives and smoked meat is what we do. Tip's has been the best smokes meat that we have had this side of Oklahoma. Everything was delicious. From the ribs to the brisket, to the chicken and sausage links....FANTASTIC! All of the sides were flavorful and down right reminded us of true home cooking!!! Last but not least the sauces are great as well and are there if you like. Make time to stop by and get some of the best smoked...real smoked and seasoned Q that you will find anywhere.

Fish dinner is bussin’. Leg quarter was amazing. The sauces (bbq and honey mustard) are home made and bussin’. He gave me a sample of the pulled pork and ribs and they were bussin’. -Brob
