| - after moving here from Austin, Tx, i'm still in search of the damn good bbq place in vegas. Yeah, they do have a replica of the Salt Lick at Red Rock Hotel & Casino, but i'm afraid to try to it b/c it may not be the same as the original. plus, i dont see a bbq pit anywhere. anyways, i would have to say Famous Dave's is pretty good, but not the best i've ever had. the biggest plus about this place is that they have southern sweet tea. ooh, nice and sugary ice tea quenching your thirst while waiting for those mouthwatering ribs. yeah, i recommend the pound of rib tips. this is the first time ive ordered chopped up bite-size moist fatty pieces of rib tips that are covered in the Rich and Sassy bbq sauce. it is tangy but a bit too much on the sweet side. i usually add the Devil's Spit to add some fire to my ribs or tips in this case. i also like the uniquely vinegary Georgia Mustard. this is the only place where i can order just rib tips. i love how easy this is to eat with just a fork. you don't have to get messy. i will definitely come back to this place for this dish. they have a great side dish selection. i always have to order the sweet drunkin ' apples, the classic sweet corn bread, the buttery wet corn-on-the-cob, and my absolute favorite the extremely garlic creamed mashed potatoes with the red skin whipped in (this was insanely delicious). they look like they have a good dessert menu...i.e. pecan pie and hot fudge Kahlua brownie, but my tummy is so damn full from stuffing my face with juicy rib tips, and all those mouthwatering sides. It's no wonder they one first place in the in 18th annual ''Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook off'' in Reno this year. so if you're looking for some good ribs from a chain, i recommend this place. it hella better than eating ribs at Tony Roma's, or any of the casino bbq places. but keep reading as i look for the best rib place in vegas...
