| - Finally all you tourists that just gotta check out the pawn shop can have some pretty good barbeque here. Now I dont know how Rick Harrison ended up with his name being included in the title but I can only guess when your barbeque is damn good you tend to gain some notariety. That and you were offered a spot in their new plaza-like setting. I guess its a win-win for both parties.
Now for the food. I gave the original Rollin Smoke location 5 stars. Why? Because its a stone's throw away from Spearmint Rhino! Ok, maybe that shouldnt qualify but hay, making it rain does make one hungry so hoppin on over to RS should be a no brainer.
Sorry to stray off the main subject there, as a guy, I tend to get easily distracted and strip clubs tend to be one of them. Unlike the original location, this new place does not serve beef ribs at the moment. The beef ribs are mainly the number one reason I go to RS because I havnt had anything like them anywhere. Here it is a limited menu. The prices seem to be marked up as well but that should be expected since they are technically on the strip still.
What I ended up getting was the 2 meat combo ($19.99) which comes with a side and a drink. Your meat choices are pulled pork, beef hot links, chopped brisket, smoked chicken, or st louis ribs. Your side choices are bbq baked beans, cole slaw, mashed potatos, and mac n cheese. I chose chopped brisket and st louis ribs. As usual both meats were on point. The brisket was a little bit greasy this time around but still good. The ribs were tender and fall off the bone smoke flavored goodness! Mac n cheese was just ok.
Some random useful info: When you order your meats, they will ask you if you want sweet barbeque sauce on it or on the side. They also have a spicy and a really spicy barbeque sauce but you have to ask for it. On the tables they have their standard barbeque sauce. They also have wall outlets everywhere for your convenience so you can charge your phone or laptop. Just like the beef ribs, they told me that they dont have wifi for now as well. There are tables outside. Locals get 20 percent off their order. Hours are 10 am to 10 pm everyday. There is a bar right above where they serve appetizers and alcoholic beverages.
In closing, I dont understand why you would have a limited menu when this location is gonna breed surefire success. I would rather have you not open just yet in order to make it right with a complete menu. You cannot deny the people their beef ribs, outlaw burger, and smoked meatloaf not to mention fried catfish, more sides, and dessert. The marked up prices def will take advantage of you out of towners.
