| - It's so hard to find good barbecue in Las Vegas. Meat menu includes shredded pork or chicken, sausage, and my personal favorite, brisket- available three cuts (fatty, lean, or chopped). Prices are fair and portions are large but quality could use a boost.
Opted for the three meat plate to get a good sample of all the products offered. Meats are dry across the board and sparingly seasoned, the brisket was okay- I have had much worse in town. Added on the sausage (more like a hot link) for $3, and it was solid. Combo included two small sides: the mac was overwhelmingly creamy and cheesy while the baked beans were flavorful with bits of brisket. I don't usually care for cornbread but the piece that came with our mean was good, but the accompanying cinnamon-honey butter was amazing!
Barbecue is one of those foods that can get pricey for a family to eat out, and Billy's has large portions for small prices: the above easily fed two grown adults, for about $22. Tables only seemed to have one unlabeled barbecue sauce, which I assume was the house creation- it was on the sweet side, while I prefer mine with a bit of a kick.
Service was polite, space is modern and clean, but overall they need to work on the details: season the meats, make sure not to overcook them to dryness, and add more sauces. A partnership with Larry's Western Meats is suggested- their sauce selection is unbeatable.
