Hot Box BBQ Reviews
I recently visited Hotbox Barbecue in Fresno, located at the corner of Shields and Maple, near the Valero gas station. I met Israel, the head cook, who has years of experience and a unique way of barbecuing. He's really good at making tri-tip, brisket, ribs, and chicken. The menu also has special items like mac & cheese, brisket sandwiches, and loaded fries with your choice of meat. Everyone was super friendly.

I will recommend Hotbox Barbecue to anyone looking for a delicious barbecue spot in Central Valley. If you’re in Visalia or in Merced trust me it is worth the drive. This place is my number 1 pick in the valley. The owner is down to earth and a really good chef. Had them cater an event I was having and everyone was blown away with the food.

I've heard of gas station bbq spots being hidden gems, and this was definitely one of them. The food was perfectly smoked, and had a nice well seasoned flavor. The ribs were juicy, and packed with flavor. The brisket was tender, had a nice bark, and last but not least the sausage had something I always look for which is a kick of spice. Overall the food was a great choice, and nothing was set aside with any hint of dissatisfaction.
