| - Uhhhhhh no.
Look I see a lot of positive reviews here and that to me is severely troubling. It's no secret that despite how good the food in Vegas can be, the BBQ segment of the town is sufficiently lacking. This, in part, to me explains how reviews for a restaurant like this can be generally positive. It's easy to think BBQ tastes good, it's meat and sauce and for some that's good enough. But if you've traveled across the country and seen what kind of BBQ is out there, you know this place isn't passable.
The key way to determine if a BBQ restaurant is good is if its food is really good without the need to even add BBQ sauce. That would mean the meat is cooked properly, seasoned properly. That's the whole ball game folks. This place doesn't pass that test.
-Appetizer Sampler. You can't say the negative review is due to a bad order when the sampler gives you 8 different items. Rip Tips-bland and tough. Sweet potato fries- bland. Tomatoes- bland. Egg rolls- I cant even remember these they must have been bad. Okra-bland. Chicken strips-bland. Hot Links- these were fine but it's sausage cmon they probably just shipped it in somewhere. And saved the worst for last, the fried dill pickles. I saw someone say the fried pickles were great and I literally slapped my forehead. These are whole pickle spears they have fried. Fried is the operative word because it's fried and not cooked. One would expect the frying process to do both, but in a shocking twist when you fry something huge like a pickle spear for however short amount of time they did you will find a mediocre batter surrounding a rock hard pickle. It doesn't work and there's a reason why most fried pickles are made from dill chips...they are thinner, smaller, ergo they cook faster.
-Pulled Pork Sandwich. Pretty standard and pretty forgettable. Pork unseasoned. Their BBQ sauce is not enough to save this place it's a sauce that you would expect, truly nothing special.
If you need more reasons to not trust Vegas BBQ reviewers, Famous Dave's is rockin 3.5 stars. That place is straight up inedible. Just trust me, if you know what good BBQ is from Texas etc. you will know this is NOT it.
Skip!
