Best Tri-Tip in Thousand Oaks

What Is Tri-Tip?

Tri-tip is a California classic cut of beef known for its rich flavor and tender texture, especially when cooked properly over an open flame.

Cooked the Right Way—Over Oak Fire

We grill our tri-tip over real oak wood, giving it that signature smoky flavor and perfectly charred exterior that sets it apart.

A Local Favorite in Thousand Oaks

Tri-tip has become a go-to for BBQ lovers across Ventura County and the Conejo Valley, and it’s one of the most popular choices for both plates and sandwiches at Bandits.
