    a meal in a styrofoam container
    Lynette M.

    Today my daughter and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of Holy Smoke BBQ and trying his amazing food! HOLY SMOKES...it has to be some of the best BBQ I have ever had in Vegas. I would highly recommend it and I look forward to ordering from him in the near future!

    Brisket, lemon butter rice, green beans.

    I wish I knew when/where to find this truck! Tried it yesterday and it was phenomenal, but unfortunately I can't find any social media so I don't know when/where he is parked. He was so nice and friendly but was out of business cards. :( I am determined to find him again!

    I was lucky to be at the hair salon when Steven was going around asking if anyone wanted food. My hair stylist was excited that he was there...so I had to try it. I haven't found really good BBQ since moving to Vegas, so I'm always willing to try a new place. I ordered half ribs and half brisket with a side of Mac & Cheese. It was the best Mac& Cheese I have EVER had!! It was delicious! The ribs and brisket were both very good and the BBQ sauce made it even better. Not only is the food good, but Steven (the owner) is very friendly! Prices are low too! 1/2 ribs, 1/2 brisket, 2 side= $10 Delicious! **Menu** BBQ Pork Ribs, Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, Chicken & Hot Links Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, Potato Salad, & Baked Beans $2 (the green vegetable rotates) Ribs, Brisket, & Chicken Dinners (1 mean, 2 sides) $8

    Huge portions

    Amazing flavored bbq riibs they were a perfect 10, very tender super moist... Hotlinks I would give them 7 , jamaican jerk chicken 9, beef briaket 8, mac and cheese 8, beans 9, soft buns 9, had to hunt this guy down real friendly jovial person, you can tell he genuinely loves to feed and bring smiles and joy to people.had to track this truck down he has over 20 different remote locations around Vegas, at first site was not impressed as he has a truck that has a small cart he pulls around . But the reviews had me wanting to give it a shot , dont be fooled by the looks this place this guy is legit.. im a rib guy and his ribs are on point.ohh at first i thought 27$ was alot , but after esting from the to go plate i reslized the portions of meat were huge , mac and chees little akimpy but you get good value. Call him up, on number posted to ask where he will be, hes closed Sunday Monday

    Just about every bit of deliciousness fit into a box!

    How do I find him? Is he always at a corner at a certain time?

    Disregard the other answer, as Holy Smoke is very much still in business, and Rollin Smoke is overrated and overpriced for what it is.… 

    Anyone know if they do weddings?

There was no wait and everyone was nice! The beef ribs, coleslaw, waffle fries, chopped brisket, and banana pudding are staples in my orders from here! I work on the strip and drove this back home to my bf in Lake Las Vegas. I joked around and told him I forgot the sauce and he looked devastated! Luckily I just bought a bottle of sauce to bring home. The beef ribs are HUGE! Excellent serving size! Be prepared to eat when you get there!

    Disappointing Experience as Returning Local Customers…read more We are Las Vegas locals and had visited Rollin Smoke Barbecue before. Our previous experiences were great, so when we were craving barbecue, we decided to return expecting another enjoyable meal. We ordered several combo meals to take home so we could try a variety of meats, sandwiches, and sides. One thing that caught us off guard was the $8 upcharge per sandwich to make it a combo ($16 total for the two sandwiches we ordered). We understand that upgrades cost extra, but those charges should be explained clearly when customers are ordering. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The portions seemed smaller than we remembered. The barbecue sauce was much sweeter than we expected and overpowered the flavor of the meat instead of complementing it. Some of the meats and sandwiches were also bland, lacking the rich, smoky barbecue flavor we remembered. There also wasn't much barbecue meat on the sandwiches, making them feel skimpy for the price. This isn't about being cheap--it's about value. We don't mind paying for good barbecue, but for the price we expected more. The combo didn't feel worth the extra cost. The side portions were very small. We were also concerned about the restroom. It was located near the kitchen, appeared rundown, and did not seem properly maintained or sanitized. A toilet brush was leaning against the wall, which added to the unclean appearance. Its condition made us question the restaurant's overall cleanliness and whether proper handwashing and food-handling practices were being followed. The most concerning issue happened after we ate the food at home. Both of us became very sick after eating from the same order. The photos included with this review were originally taken because we planned to share a positive post supporting a local restaurant we had enjoyed. We even noticed the sign encouraging customers to take photos, tag the restaurant, and share their experience. Unfortunately, after what happened, we decided to include the photos only to document our visit, what we ordered, and the condition of the restaurant. Between the unexpected combo upcharges, small portions, skimpy sandwiches, overly sweet barbecue sauce, bland food, cleanliness concerns, and both of us becoming sick afterward, this was a very disappointing experience. We hope management takes these concerns seriously and reviews its food preparation, storage, sanitation, restroom maintenance, and overall quality control. Sadly, after this experience, we no longer feel comfortable returning.

At one point I came back in to get to-go containers and was waiting patiently, and he was running food outside so I moved out of his way, held the door open. He didn't even acknowledge me, say thank you and gave me the rudest look. I was not impressed at all. That alone has me uninterested in ever going back. The meat was tender. The pastrami was good. I grew up eating KC BBQ and and lived in TX for several years and had plenty of TX BBQ- this to me is decent BBQ but if you know and like phenomenal BBQ this isn't going to compete with that. Read so many great reviews so I had really high expectations. Again, kudos to the pit master. The tenderness of the brisket, pastrami and beef rib was the saving grace. The woman who worked the counter taking orders was also one of the only reasons this isn't a 1 star review for me. She was a bit of sunshine in that place.

I've eaten at Interstellar in Austin plus Hurtado and Goldee's in Dallas/Fort Worth, and Wild Fig holds up to that standard. Vegas finally has the real thing. It's now in my regular rotation.

The pork ribs are wonderfully juicy and packed with deep flavor, pairing nicely with the complimentary sweet BBQ sauce even though they do not strictly need it. Unlike most places where the pulled pork dries out, this one stays remarkably moist and savory throughout. Chili (4/5): A very unique side that is much thinner and more watery than a traditional chili, holding a texture closer to a thin spaghetti sauce. Despite the looser consistency, it is absolutely packed with a variety of delicious smoked meats in every single bite. Mac and Cheese (5/5): An exceptional side dish and a clear favorite of the meal. It's incredibly rich, creamy, and distinctively flavored with sharp cheddar, which gives it a much bolder and more satisfying punch than standard restaurant mac and cheese. Corn Bread (5/5): This side functions almost like a dessert, boasting an incredibly sweet, vanilla cake like taste. The high level of sweetness provides a nice contrast to the intense salt, smoke, and savory flavors of the massive meat plate. Logistics Tip: Parking is limited but manageable between the two adjacent lots, and there is a clean restroom on site. To help beat the intense heat, they generously provide complimentary bottles of ice cold water. Keep in mind that they hosted live music on the late Saturday morning that we went. While it adds a fun, energetic backyard vibe, it can get incredibly loud and makes chatting with friends difficult, so you may want to bring ear protection or plan your arrival time accordingly.

Their passion for what they do shines through in every detail. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and feels like you're visiting friends rather than just another establishment. The staff reflects the same level of care and professionalism that Tom and Marni bring every day. It's rare to find owners who are so consistently involved and committed to creating a great experience. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, you're treated like family. The quality, service, and attention to detail are second to none. In a world where personal service is becoming harder to find, Tom and Marni have created something truly special. If you're looking for a place that combines outstanding service, a welcoming atmosphere, and owners who genuinely care about their customers, look no further. This is exactly the kind of local business that deserves to be supported. Five stars isn't enough.
