| - I went out to dinner this past Saturday night and we all decided to go to Double Barrel. A few of us had been past the restaurant many times and it smelled of delicious barbecue. We got to the restaurant around 6:30 and they told us it would be around a thirty minutes to get a table for six. We weren't able to have our party of six sit outside together due to code. In the mean time we had drinks at the outside bar. Not that familiar with the bar, we ordered beer and margaritas. Without asking rocks, with salt, etc. slushy margaritas were sitting in front of us AND with no salt. Not the service we expected at a nicer strip restaurant. It was around fifty minutes later that we actually sat at the table. We ordered appetizers and dinner. (Hot wing tower with garlic fries was amazing.) The rest of us ordered ribs, brisket and pulled pork. Pulled pork was by far the best. Brisket was only mildly smokey and very, very tough. Ribs were mediocre and tough as well. Definitely not fall off the bone barbecue deliciousness.
Bottom line, if you want barbecue, don't go to Double Barrel. If you want appetizers and expensive drinks, it's your place
Customer service was decent. Although with a party of six they tacked on automatic gratuity. The waitress failed to mention this AT ALL. I wish I could take back my tip just because of this. Like a lot of Vegas restaurants they prey on drunk tourists. I wish though, seeing that we were locals, the waitress would have been a little more courteous and informed us of their tipping policy.
If you are looking for amazing brisket and ribs, try Fox's BBQ in Boulder City. (Their pork isn't very good.) If you want good pulled pork. Try it Memphis style at Lucille's BBQ in Henderson.
