    Banana pudding
    Jennifer H.

    We were in the neighborhood and decided to try this BBQ spot. We already have a favorite place a little farther away, so we weren't necessarily looking for a replacement, just something new to try. The restaurant itself is very clean, which makes sense since we learned they've only been open for about six months. Even the bathroom was a pleasant surprise. We were greeted by the two gentlemen working behind the counter, and the setup lets you watch the food being prepared, similar to Chipotle or Jersey Mike's. We decided to sample a good portion of the menu: ribs, a brisket sandwich, banana pudding, a cornbread muffin, collard greens, potato salad, homemade lemonade, and French fries. I'm not sure what we were expecting, but we were completely blown away. Everything was delicious, but the collard greens absolutely stole the show. The ribs had just the right amount of sauce and smokiness, and the brisket sandwich was packed with perfectly smoked meat. Every item we tried was excellent and had zero complaints. Next time we'll work our way through the rest of the menu, but based on this visit, I can't imagine we'll be disappointed. If our second visit is as good as the first, Smokeshow may end up replacing our longtime favorite of 10 years. We can't wait to bring the family when they come to visit!

    Came here on a friend's recommendation about a new bbq spot that opened up. Joe greeted us warmly and said "let me know if you want to try anything." There was a delicious smell of sweet bacon in the air and they said it was their pork belly. Holy flavor bomb! We've come here many times since and the only bummer is we only ever come for dinner after the rush so sometimes they're out of some things. Excellent food, great people, awesome customer service, great vibes, BEST BBQ IN VEGAS. Their loaded baked potato is life changing. Overall 10/10, highly recommend!!! Local owned, go support!

    Beef rib
    Melissa C.

    Get the beef rib it's huge, perfectly smoked, juicy, and charged on weight-it isn't on their menu IFKYK!! and the cole slaw is its perfect mate!! The staff is amazing and sweet and so attentive what more do you need? Why are you still reading this? Get there!

    Rib gravy mashed potatoes

    Just tried Smokeshow BBQ and I have a serious complaint... it's 40 minutes away from my house. Absolutely disrespectful to my gas tank. Now that we've addressed the real issue--this place is legit. The fatty brisket might be the best in town. Juicy, packed with flavor, and melts in your mouth exactly the way brisket is supposed to. No shortcuts, no dryness, just straight-up BBQ done right. Their in-house pickles deserve their own spotlight. Not some throwaway side--these are mandatory. Throw them on a brisket sandwich and suddenly everything makes more sense in life. Sausage links? Not your basic jalapeño cheddar situation. These have a unique flavor that actually stands out and somehow makes every other sausage link feel like it's been phoning it in. And the mashed potatoes with rib gravy... ridiculous. Creamy, peppery, rich in all the best ways--like comfort food that hit the gym and came back stronger. Overall: incredible food, great addition to the BBQ scene, and unfortunately located just far enough away to ruin my self-control. Will I drive 40 minutes again? Without hesitation. Probably already planning it. Highly recommend!

    Very impressed. I've had brisket in Dallas and this brisket was very close to some of the best. By far the best I've had in Vegas. If you're looking for a great bbq spot with passionate staff and amazing food done right, this is it. Can't wait to come back and try more.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich - $14.00 - 1/4 lb pork, coleslaw, mustard-base BBQ sauce with Fries
    Adriana N.

    Food was great! Fries were seasoned which is always a plus in our book! Hubby loved the pulled pork sandwich. I loved the ribs as the meat was so tender practically pulling apart from the bone with ease. Ribs were juicy and not dry. BBQ sauce was okay (I'm a picky sauce eater), I used a BBQ sauce we had at home . Mac n cheese was delish, I ate around the chile bits though. The mashed potatoes were yummy and the gravy was good too! The spread for the cornbread was buttery with a sweet but not overpowering taste and paired very well with the cornbread. Overall everything was delish! We will be ordering again.

    I'm not usually a BBQ fan... but this place completely changed my mind. From the moment we sat down, the staff was genuinely excited for me to try everything. They were eagerly waiting for my reactions as I tasted each meat, which made the whole experience even better and funnier. The flavor? Unreal. I tried the beef rib, pulled pork, and baby back ribs, and every bite was incredibly flavorful and tender. The beef rib especially stood out. My friend said ribs like that are hard to find, and after tasting them, I believe it. So flavorful. So tender. Melt-in-your-mouth good. What really impressed me was the customer service. While we were there, a customer walked in and the staff immediately recognized him and remembered his drink order. That level of attention is rare these days and so greatly appreciated. Amazing food. Even better service. This place turned a non-BBQ person into a believer.

    Poblano mac n cheese
    Alanah P.

    Small on the inside but plenty of room to sit down and enjoy your food if you'd like. Staff were super friendly & even let me sample the brisket! Much appreciated & thank you for your service & good food! I got Brisket , Mac and cheese & Mashed potatoes. Brisket was really good, a few pieces I got were dry but flavor is there and definitely worth trying if you love brisket like myself! Overall 8/10 Mashed potatoes were good, lacked salt but that added bacon to it gives them a nice flavor. Overall 8/10 Mac n Cheese just needed a little more TLC. It lacked cheese & was just too dry for my liking. I added cheese to it at home to give it a more Mac n cheese feel to it but it definitely has potential with the poblano!! Overall 5/10

    I've been back a few times since my last review. This time I decided to venture out and try a beef rib. Now, I usually only like babyback. But this place converted me to liking St. Louis ribs, so why not try to see if they can convert me to liking beef ribs. Guess what?! They did!!! I have never had a beef rib this tasty and moist ever! Beef ribs are a must now!!

    Fries, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, 1/2 lb brisket
    Regina C.

    So good! I ordered half a pound of brisket (opted for fatty), large fries, mashed potatoes with beef cheeks gravy, and poblano pepper Mac and cheese for the kiddos and I to share. The brisket was so tender and add the homemade bbq sauce, so delicious. The poblano pepper in the Mac and cheese was my daughters's favorite. My son (6yo) piled his fork with a bit of brisket, mash potatoes, a piece of the Mac and cheese, and then drizzle bbq sauce on it. He said it was the perfect bite. I must admit, the mashed potatoes were the best I have tasted yet. The fries must be cooked in fat to achieve such a nice texture. The gentlemen were also very kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

    Robert M.

    The best bbq in Vegas hands down!! These guys know how to do bbq and sides right!! Every thing we ordered was on point!! Mac N Cheese was so so good! Ribs had the right touch of seasoning and cooked to perfection. Mashed potatoes were fire! Even the Coleslaw was great. Sausage was really good and I normally am not a fan.

    Stopped in to try this Q place nearby. This was definitely an upgrade to the one that was here before. Tried the ribs, pork belly, brisket, pulled pork, fries and the poblano mac & cheese. All were delicious. Fries were delicious and fresh tasting. All the meat was tender and tasty. I LOVED the pulled pork. Tender with a nice crispy sweet crust. Mac had a little heat but not so much to take away from the flavor. All the meat is sold ala carte by the 1/4lb so you can put together as much or as little as you like. I'll be going back to try the other sides and desserts.

    T S.

    Great food good vibes nice people!!! The tenderness was on point so juicy. Coleslaw home made fries with homemade ranch.

It reminded me of a real Texas barbecue with the big picnic tables and communal seating. Very friendly and helpful staff. I had the 3 meat (chicken, baby backs, and jalapeno hot links) and the wife had the 1 meat (brisket) We shared some sides Mac n cheese, green beans, and fries. The chicken was very juicy and perfectly cooked. We both agree that the baby backs were some of the best we've ever had. The jalapeno/cheese links were delicious. The brisket was good. Still moist and juicy. They ask you if you want a lean or fatty cut on the brisket. She chose lean (I would have chosen fatty ) Their regular barbecue sauce made everything better. The green beans were delicious and perfectly seasoned. The baked beans were a tiny bit sweet. The fries were perfect. The mac and cheese had good flavor but the pasta was overcooked. Oh, I decided to try the banana pudding. GET IT! It's f*cking delicious! We will definitely be back!

This place has a legit small-town feel and serves some excellent barbecue. We ordered the Burger special, sliders (one pork and one brisket), and The Brisket sandwich. The sliders were huge for sliders and served on big toasted buns and piled high with coleslaw, onions, pickles, and pepperoncinis. Both meats were flavorful and tender. The brisket sandwich was outstanding: certified Angus beef cooked low and slow, seasoned with their Texas-style rub, sliced thick, and stacked high on grilled Texas toast. Very satisfying. For drinks, we had a couple Hazy Fox IPAs and two Huckleberry Lemonades that were on special for $5, which were a fun and refreshing choice. The sides were just as impressive. My family ordered the 50/50 bowl with half mac & cheese and half cowboy beans which was outstanding. The cowboy beans were especially packed with flavor. We also tried the fried okra and potato salad. The okra was amazing; crispy and delicious. The potato salad was just okay for me and a little bland, but I'm from the north, so I know everyone makes potato salad differently depending on the region. Overall, Fox Smokehouse BBQ was a great stop with delicious food, generous portions, and a welcoming hometown vibe. Definitely worth visiting if you're near Boulder City.

Usually it's just to fly out of Las Vegas for a work trip. This time though, I was in area for the US Post office. Looking for nearby places to eat, I saw that Smoke & Fire was only 10 minutes away! My husband and I stopped by for dinner around 3:30 P.M on a Friday at Smoke & Fire. The restaurant is located near South Pecos Road and East Russell Road. There was plenty of parking spots available. As I walked inside the restaurant, a team member had greeted us and let us know that it was open seating. There were only a few other customers inside the restaurant at the time we had dinner. There was plenty of tables inside and outside the restaurant though! TVs were situated throughout the restaurant. There was a variety of sports games playing. When we sat at our table, the team member brought over menus and asked if we'd like anything to drink while we looked through the menu. She also went through any dietary restrictions and some of their highlights at the restaurant, specifically, Smoke & Fire is known for their blueberry chicken sandwich. There are other options on their menu though, like BBQ items! Meat platters: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Ribs, Hot Links, smoked Chicken Quarters. Sandwiches: Chicken Sandwiches, Brisket Sandwich, Donut Smashed Burger (Seasonal), Sliders Chicken and Waffles, Street Style Tacos, Chicken Tenders and more! After looking through the menu, we ultimately decided on the following 3 Meat Platter: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, and Brisket with Mac N Cheese/Sweet Potato Tots The World Famous Blueberry Chicken Sandwich: Pepper Jack Cheese, Housemade Blueberry Jam, blueberry aioli, and Jalapeno. The service was super quick. I don't think we waited longer than 10 minutes for our meal. It was nice that our meal was served in to go containers as well! The highlight of the meal was the blueberry chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and tender. The blueberry aioli and the jam was scrumptious. This was a first time having a sandwich like this before! I would come back to Smoke & Fire just to get the sandwich. The BBQ pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket was good. I enjoyed the mac n cheese and the sweet potato tots though! I don't normally see sweet potato tots so I just had to try it out! They were super crispy and packed with flavor. The food was yummy here and the service was fantastic! If I'm in the area again, I would stop by Smoke & Fire to have another meal. I think next time though, I am going to have to try out their pulled pork burger!
