| - Best Brisket in Las Vegas!! (And it's not even close).
For the past several years, there seems to be a plethora of BBQ restaurants poppin' up in the Valley. And each one claims to have a different regional style when it comes to their BBQ, and many places carry similar items, but done with their own personal taste. While there are places doing good ribs (Rollin' Smoke) or good pork (Jessie Rae's), there is not one single place in town doing good brisket. Except today, when I went into Big B's Texas BBQ.
I saw this new business when Heather N. checked into here. Always on the lookout for good BBQ, and I noticed it was close to where I was at the time, I noticed it was around lunch, so I had to get my grub on.
It's located behind the Raising Cane's on St. Rose Pkwy, there is a lot of parking so don't worry about it. After walking in, I knew I was in the right place. Even though there is a little bit more finishing up when it comes to the interior, it does scream Texas style BBQ. Sort of like that BBQ place that was on the King of the Hill cartoon (Sugarfoot's?). Anyways, after ordering some meats, paid my bill, then sat down.
Brisket - Man.. that is some brisket. Not only the best brisket in Vegas, but one of the best ones I've ever had in my life. I'm sure a Texas BBQ connoisseur would probably be more qualified to talk about the subject, but I really like a very tender brisket, and that is what is missing from all the other spots in town. There is an actual 'smoke ring' that you can see on it. It wasn't plain or dry. It was truly a spectacle to behold.
Tri-tip - I had a old friend who attended UT at Austin back in the day, and I asked him if tri-tip was as popular as brisket. He said he really didn't see it that much. I did some research and found out that it was more of a California thing. But the way that Big B's does tri-tip, Texas should think about adopting the tri-tip as part of their BBQ style, because the one at Big B's is phenomenal. Absolutely tender, and it just melted, and that smoke ring doe.... I was just floored.
The sauces were great as well. I personally don't like a BBQ that's so sugary sweet, I liked that Big B's was more about spice, and subtle amounts of sweetness, and complexity of flavor. There are two of them, a red and orange colored one, and I liked swirling both of them, and playing with them on top of my brisket and tri-tip.
Texan's know their beef and Big B's knows how to cook it correctly. If you're tired of dry, flavorless brisket in Vegas, I would definitely recommend this spot. I would also like to see some reviews by some Texan transplants to see if I'm right, or just crazy. Probably just crazy.
