After a day volunteering at an event at Lake Mead, we wanted to pick up some good food in Boulder City. Yelp lead us to Fox Smokehouse BBQ, which is easy to find, and looked promising as we walked in.
Originally, I was going to go for a shredded something sandwich, then saw the newly added Tri Tip Sandwich. I am a sucker for tri tip and had to give that one a try. It came with fries, which were the huge, crinkle cut, seasoned sticks of potato.
The fries were delicious and so fresh my patience was tested waiting for them to cool down enough to eat without scalding my mouth.
When tackling the Tri Tip Sandwich, the aroma of delicious BBQ made my mouth water. My first bite was not entirely disappointing. I added a little more sauce to really get that BBQ experience. Growing up in Southern California, I have had a wide range of Tri Tip sandwiches. This one ranked up with some of the better ones. However, the meat may have been a little on the dry side.
Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, the prices were a little higher than I prefer to pay for lunch, for what you get though, worth it.
Also, the staff is very nice and polite. Even when a rather unkempt homeless gentleman came in, asking about the menu, they treated him with respect and kindness. He ended up ordering some food, and went on his way.
