| - I have lived in Las Vegas for almost 3 years and since Day 1 I have been told to try the Road Kill Grill for BBQ. I am disappointed in myself it has taken this long and considering the fact I live less than 3 miles from there, I should be ashamed.
From the moment you pull into the parking lot, you can smell the various meats being smoked. Every good BBQ joint has the smell meet you well before you enter the facility, it is no different here. On our visit, we stopped by for a later lunch and our mouths started watering immediately.
They have everything you would expect, so many tough choices. Karen went with the brisket dinner which came with a huge helping of sliced brisket along with two sides she picked (Yams and Mac & Cheese). Karen enjoyed every aspect of her meal, including the house BBQ sauce which she said had great flavor and a gentle kick.
I can never pass up brisket, but instead of doubling up entirely on Karen's choices, I went with the two meat combo. I did choose the brisket, but also the pulled pork. My meal also came with two sides and I went with potato salad and green beans. I loved the pulled pork, some of the best I have had. The brisket was good, but I wouldn't put it in the great category. I didn't quite taste the smoke in the meat that I usually like. The sides were really good and the meal was great portion wise. Unlike Karen, I went with the spicy bbq sauce and I loved it. The sauce is very important to me and I was super happy with what they have here. Both of our meals came with a piece of cornbread.
The service was really helpful and friendly. The interior is quite unique, but small. Be prepared for a possible line depending on when you arrive, but they do a good job of getting you through. We took our food to go, but there was plenty of picnic table space outside.
We will definitely be back again as there is plenty of food to try. The next time you are in the Northwest part of Las Vegas, you should swing in for some solid bbq.
