I have to give credit to the fact that most of the meat was at least cooked well and was tender, but it went south from there. The pulled pork was swimming in sauce as was the sliced hot link. I like sauce and this BBQ should have sauce but in the quantities it came in, it took away from the quality of the meat. The hot link had good heat and snap of the casing, but drowned out by the copious amounts of sauce. The brisket was tender, but because it was being kept in a steam bath of Au Jus, it became over cooked and grayed out. The brisket and ribs also lacked a good bark that is synonymous with quality BBQ. The ribs were tender but good have been more so if the membrane on the bone side of the ribs had been removed before cooking. The sides that we had were the mac n cheese, beans and potato salad and these may have been the better part of the meal. The mac n cheese was homemade and had a good flavor. The beans could have been a meal in themselves. They had bacon, ground beef, greens and pieces of brisket in them and they were quite good. The potato salad was also pretty good with a lot of ingredients and flavor. At the end of the meal we tried the peach cobbler as they were out of apple. The peach cobbler was a let down and not because of the canned peaches used, instead it was the amount of nutmeg. By the third bite all you could taste was the nutmeg and it ruined it for us.
Overall I give this place three stars for being mediocre, it is certainly not the best BBQ in Vegas, just another "ok" option
