We love this place for their amazing bbq. The first time we went with my mother and sister in law and loved our lunch. Everyone had nothing but great things to say (even the most hard to please ones). Today, we ordered take out and it was equally as good and this will be a weekly stop for a great quality protein for an easy work night dinner. I had the smoked turkey again and my husband loved their brisket on his first time and also reordered that. It came with a nice slice of thick white bread and was tender and delicious. read more

Service: Who ever the female server was working on 6/21 around 1 pm seemed to be extremely overwhelmed when we walked in. Her only question to us was "Do you have a reservation?" We said no and she gave us the look like we should have had one and she didn't know if she would be able to seat us because she had no room...When in reality the place was empty.... Huge red flag. Food: We ordered two brisket burgers, sliced brisket and St Louis ribs. It took 30 minutes to get our food which seemed odd since the place was mostly empty like I said. We got our food and the brisket and ribs were lower end of mid level bbq but this isn't Texas and we expected that. The burgers were absolutely unacceptable! Dry with zero toppings and looked like they were stamped for shape then frozen. The burgers had a smell like the meat was rotten or had turned and then cooked anyway. At the end of our time we told our waitress we were ready for the check. She proceeds to gas light us into thinking they provide free refills to go. When in fact they offer them but, charge you for it without informing you. Only when you get the check for review do you realize what just happened. I don't recommend this place... save your money and go somewhere else in the arts district.... You will be glad you did. read more

The reviews of the chef are great. I think some of the execution needs some help. The ribs were just slightly on the over smoked side. The french fry wedges were excellent. Great concept! The cole slaw was nice, I prefer more creamy however it passed. The pork belly burnt ends were cooked well. First time having it and was very interesting chew. The beef was slightly dry, did not have any moistness. The beans were the star of the shoe, very tasty with lots of meat. We were there in the daytime so no band. It was half full but felt busy. The staff was handling everything that came to them. read more

LOCATION/PARKING: Soulbelly is located on Main Street in the bustling downtown Arts District. Finding parking was a challenge on First Friday and we circled the block for around 20 minutes before paying $25 in a parking lot. RESTAURANT: Upon nearing Soulbelly, we smelled the delicious smell of smoked BBQ coming from the smokers in the front of the restaurant. Soulbelly has a typical BBQ atmosphere for a casual dining experience with both high tops and picnic tables. You have a choice to dine indoors or outside on their patio across from the smokers. We were greeted with smiles and immediately seated at a picnic table for 4 around 630pm on First Friday. We had a great view of the live band that was playing which was an added bonus. FOOD/DRINKS: We started off with refreshing peach wheat draft beers accompanied by crispy smoked chicken wings tossed in sweet and sticky BBQ sauce, which made a perfect pairing! We tried the loaded BBQ fries topped with delicious and tender chopped beef brisket, fried onion straws, sour cream, and green onions, which I enjoyed so I ordered one for my dinner entree. Hubby ordered the 1 choice combo with smoked turkey and added 2 pieces of ribs for an additional $9. The smoked turkey was juicy and the ribs were good but not the best we have had. He had potato salad as his side, which was delicious and filling. Our friend Mary ordered the brisket combo with the refreshing pasta salad and added corn bread, which was crispy on the outside and the right amount of sweetness. Our friend Eddie ordered ribs with a side of baked beans which he enjoyed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would come back again. The portion sizes were not the most generous, so minus 1 for that. However, they did offer a 10% military discount, which was awesome. Dinner was around $155 for the 4 of us and we had 2 appetizers and 4 beers. read more

The servers were good and very helpful. They are able to tell you about allergens in the menu like gluten free. Seeing the smokers our front was definitely a nice touch to bring you in. Sadly the food was not great. We wanted the chefs choice but unfortunately we wouldn't have been allowed to limit our sides to only things that I could eat which was disappointing. We ended up ordering just a. Variety of things instead. The prices here though are actually fairly reasonable and we ended up paying roughly 80$ for everything pictured here. But overall I wouldn't recommend this place for the food at all. The chicken was insanely dry and almost inedible. The brisket wasn't bad, that was probably my favorite thing we had but I can't say it was amazing. The sausage and ribs were also both just ok. The fries were very different and I can't say that we really liked them because they're coasted in something which just is odd. The cornbread was good in the middle but the sides were crazy hard. Easily the best thing my husband had was the Mac and cheese. It was really good, super creamy and flavorful and had nice crumbles on top of it. read more

Stopped by for an early dinner on a Friday and were seated right away. There was live music which made the atmosphere really enjoyable. We ordered a little bit of everything including the brisket, ribs, turkey, sausage links, mac and cheese, and cornbread. Our favorites were the sausage links and the ribs since they were fall off the bone. Everything was flavorful, and the different BBQ sauces were a nice addition. Our waitress was very friendly, checked on us often, and our food came out quickly. Overall, a good BBQ spot with great service. read more

For a nice foodcourt in the Miracle Mile, I wasn't expecting much from a BBQ place. But I was wrong! The Rachel-esque sandwich was really solid. Good slaw. Nice pickles. Seriously, a pretty good place and good prices and nice people. Don't pass on it thinking it's not going to be good. read more

Soulbelly BBQ - Pit master Club - Barbeque Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Soulbelly BBQ is located downtown in the Arts District not too far from the Las Vegas Strip. This restaurant is by a James Bead Nominated, Chopped Champion, Beat Bobby Flay Champion, and Former Bravo Top Chef Bruce Kalman. This place has a downtown urban casual BBQ Look to it. You can sit outside on the patio by the smokers. Inside there is a bar and bar area and a dining area. At certain times they also have live music. We've been coming occasionally for a few years now. In general the food really is above the average bbq and I also found that service by them also is above average. The brisket also has been consistently good on all our visits. The only thing that is different is that they occasionally change up their menu slightly so old favorites are gone and you might discover new things. Also they also offer different specials from time to time. The two items that we get here most often is the incredible Belly Of The Soul Sandwich (smoked brisket, fried egg, cheese sauce, pickled onions, spicy BBQ sauce, crispy onions) Actually my husband gets that sandwich and he always loves it. This is one of the few places that I will get a burger at because here it is ground in house Smoked Brisket and is always delicious and usually cooked just so. Today the server accidentally forgot to tell the cook to leave off the cheese on my burger. Instead of just scrapping off the cheese they made me a new one. They also insisted that I get a dessert. So I was too full to eat it there so I took home a delicious house made apple crumble. This is what kind of nice people that they are here. Soulbelly BBQ is certainly Worth a Try! read more

Service was pretty fast and friendly. They are in a food court area with several other restaurants, so overall seating is limited during busy times. The Texas Cheesesteak was legit, was packed with chopped brisket and the roll was toasted perfectly. I would recommend getting the spicy bbq sauce on the side, as it tastes like Heinz 57 sauce and not bbq sauce. Not pictured is the Boss Hog, while packed with pulled pork it was a bit salty. The slaw on the sandwich did help balance it out somewhat. Overall I would try again and would definitely get another cheesesteak. read more

Okay being a guy from Texas I pride myself on brisket and barbecue. I came to Las Vegas for a vacation in the summer. Yes, it was hot as hell! But staying in the art district I didn't want to mess with strip food and prices. I came to check out Soulbelly. My entire family raved about it. I sampled the brisket. They did an excellent job. The bark was perfect! My son and girlfriend got chef's choice for two. Yep they had left overs!! My daughter had a barbecue rice bowl. Huge! And everything everyone had loved it. If you are in the area I would recommend to come out and enjoy from good TX BBQ in Las Vegas. read more

I have waited 2 years to try Soul Belly. I was NOT disappointed. The atmosphere in this location is great. Cool vibes and great seating options. I was so tempted to sit at the bar with the beautiful bar tender but it was so nice outside I had to take advantage of their outdoor dining. Ordered the Brisket and the Bourbon Glazed Pork Belly with a Mac and Cheese as a side. Brisket was better than any I have had other than in TX. Everything else was very good. This ranks as a quality BBQ stop. Great location in the Bart's District with lots of Breweries close by. The service staff was very friendly and helpful. I recommend taking a trip off the strip to visit this place read more

Excellent food, excellent service, and a great venue. No one complains about the food and the server was on point. Drinks never ran dry and food was perfect and the server checked twice to be sure it was as expected. The dining room was spotless and the smell was enticing. There's no doubt the 'que is going to be great. If you're in the arts district have lunch here. read more

This place was awesome. We went down there in a really quiet evening but the food was nothing close to that. It was DELICIOUS!!! We loooved the brisket. You could taste pure meat in the sausage and it was tasty. The only dish that we didn't quite enjoy was the Mac & cheese. Not the way we like it but that didn't take away from our experience. The service was quick and the staff very attentive. I would love to come back on an evening that has a music gig on to enjoy the real experience. read more

I made reservations our first night in Vegas, based on the guy that owns the place Bruce was on one of my favorite shows, BBQ showdown. I love brisket and I was not disappointed. We were 30mjn late from coming in fro. AZ but they still sat us. Our waitress's were awesome, friendly, personable, and provided us excellent customer service. The ambiance was an traditional bbq joint video, wood walls, galvanized steel used in multiple areas, metal chairs, and your own roll of paper towl towelels at your table. I will definitely return, thier food was very good, they provided a caddy with 3 different bbq sauces and the norm condiments at a table. read more

The food, vibe, music, venue, presentation, service, experience, all are 110%! In a smoked meats snob. I do my own smoking at home. Plus I have traveled the country to all the BBQ joints. Soul Belly hits right on the head!! And I love the support of local musicians!! The band that was there was excellent! Cannot speak more glowingly about this gem. I will be returning on my next trip to Vegas!! read more

Saw this place during a bar crawl in the arts district and made a sure to come back. The place has great charm, can seat many picnic table style and has a stage for bands. The servers were nothing short of southern hospitality and the food was so flavorful. The smoked bacon old fashion was great and not over priced. Cornbread soft and crispy on the ends. The ground brisket burger with the potatoe buns was delicious and juicy! The bourbon glazed pork belly was juicy and tasty, and the brisket was both lean and juicy. Fries and crispy Brussels sprouts can stand alone but are amazing sides. We will be back. read more

I took on Soulbelly and lost. Before arriving for a late lunch, all I had were two mandarin oranges and coffee for breakfast. I ordered the Chef's Choice For 2 combo. Basically, chef chooses the 6 meats and 6 sides. Chef surprised me with Brisket, Bourbon Glazed Pork Belly, Carolina Pulled Pork, 2 types of sausages, and smoked chicken wing. For sides, I got coleslaw, potato salad, pasta salad, mac&cheese, roasted broccoli , and cornbread. On top of that, I also got some pickled pickles and 2 slices of white bread. Everything was good, including service from Faith. She's awesome. My favs were the pork belly, brisket, potato salad and coleslaw. Gotta come back when there's a band playing. read more

Came here on a Sunday to put a little something in my stomach before I started drinking. Customer service was great and the food was pretty good. After looking at the menu, we decided on The Belly of Soul sandwich with a side of potato salad, the sandwich was good but the potato salad had a little too much mustard for my taste buds. Overall, it was a good experience and I seen they did have a full bar. I most definitely would come back. read more

Soulbelly BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Delicious barbeque that hit the spot! Great vibe for the arts district and they have a happy hour bar as well. We ordered brisket, mac n cheese, and their cornbread. Everything was really good. We were given a choice for their brisket to be fatty, lean, or both. I preferred both to have flavor but also good meat too. The fatty brisket was definitely a little softer and more flavor. The mac n cheese is homemade since they make their own noodles we were told. The cornbread was good but it could've been a little warmer for me. It tasted just like straight corn and was served with butter. I think it was a little overpriced for a small piece. It was $6 for a small loaf. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. He gave us recommendations and checked up on us. We are looking forward to coming back for happy hour and their big menu. read more

Visited the Arts District for the first time and wanted something easy to eat. Soulbelly was great in all aspects. May not be the best bbq I've ever had (Texas still takes the top spot), but it's good! But for Vegas bbq, it's good! Plenty of parking as long you're willing to walk in Arts District. Honestly, why wouldn't you want to walk around. Soulbelly was great, with available sitting indoors and outdoors. They're next to breweries as well so you can have a nice beer with your bbq. For ordering, it's order at the front desk, then take your number and grab a seat. There was some confusion when we were there as the waitress taking our order seemed new. First we were told for beer and drinks, we'd have to go to the bar to order and get them. Then she found it on her and added it to our tab. Didn't mention if we were supposed to go to the bar to get it or what. When we got our food, the waitress asked if there was anything else, we mentioned our beer. I see her go to the front desk and then to the bar to get it for us. Minor hiccup/miscommunication, no biggie, but felt like it needed to be mentioned. Props to the waiter and waitresses serving, very friendly, checks up on us, and kept everything clean. We sat outside since the music all the way inside was a bit too loud with the band playing. There was also some tv's for us to watch some football games on. For food, the Brussel sprouts are amazing. Cooked perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The sauce was great too, gets to be a bit too much at the bottom, so I may ask for light sauce or on the side next time if possible The brisket was delicious. I forget what "size" we got, but got a mix of lean and fatty. The lean was good, but I loved the fatty brisket. Juicy and tender all around and well-seasoned. I'll opt for just fatty next time I'm around. Used some of the bread to eat with the fatty juices and it's great. Looked around the other tables, and I wished I got the corn bread, it looks great. Definitely a place I'll be back to if I'm ever in the Arts District. The vibes, the staff, and the food are all top notch. read more

Soulbelly BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Went here due to numerous raves thru youtube foodies and I have to say I was let down by all your reviews, We ordered the Chefs special for 2 and was given only 5 different meats not 6 (2 links as a 6th option!? GTFOH!!) was expecting the spare ribs and those were not even added. Portions suck it was nothing like I seen on foodies channels on youtube must have been for the camera only. Once the food came out none of the proteins were anything to write home about or memorable. The sides mediocre asf the only thing decent was the beans but still nothing to brag about. Honestly this will be thee last time I go here please don't waste your time and money at this bland ass BBQ spot. Service was average but the food is laughable and definitely forgettable for the price of $80 for a meal you have no control over. Consider yourself warned, consumer beware. read more

Not the best BBQ I've had in Las Vegas but definitely decent food with a very convenient location to explore Arts District before/after your meal. Pork belly and cornbread were my favorites. The BBQ spiced fries, crispy brussel sprouts, and coleslaw were also solid. I was not a fan of the hatch chile and cheddar hot link; it was pretty salty with no kick to it at all, and the cheddar contributed to an overall weird texture to the sausage that I did not like. Service was friendly but slow, although we came on a night they hosted a wedding rehearsal in the back which may have affected things. read more

I can't remember the name of it, but it had mezcal and a tajin rim. Our server at the bar was super sweet as well! read more

Soulbelly BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Was told this was the best bbq in Las Vegas, so it was a must try. Was greeted upon entrance, seated and our waiter showed up quickly. Drink orders were taken, saw Shiner on the menu, a must order with bbq...and got the chefs choice platter for two. Food arrived and it looked amazing! Brisket - no smoke ring and super dry. The sauce did help a lot. Sausage - had both the plain and the hatch and cheddar. Both solid options with a nice snap. Flavor was good and both were solid! Turkey - super dry and plain. Skip. Pork belly - fantastic! Super tender and the glaze complimented it perfectly! Melted in your mouth. Pulled pork - it was cooked well but comes pre-sauced. Did not know they did this. I'm not a fan of Carolina style sauces so I'd order this with sauce on the side or skip this. Sides - had the slaw (good), light vinegar flavor and not overly sweet or mayo-ee, the Mac and cheese was good but was giving velveeta, the cornbread was moist and had a nice crispy exterior, potato salad was just ok, the beans were great, lightly Smokey with a slight sweet taste, the broccoli was broccoli, skip it. Overall it's a ok place if you've never had good bbq before. If you have, it'll be middle of the road...onto the next! read more

Best BBQ in Vegas, I read somewhere SoulBelly was voted one of the top Texas BBQ outside of Texas so I was excited to try it, the BBQ was delicious and super tender. Pork belly was a little sweet but with the BBQ sauce it balanced out nicely, brisket was 50/50 fat and meat which is exactly how I like it, easily best brisket I have ever had and will definitely come back in the near future. Staff was very friendly and the overall vibes spectacular. read more

Soul Belly does not disappoint! My husband loves BBQ and this is his favorite spot in the Arts District. We always end up ordering more food than we can eat, but who is complaining? Not us! We just box it up and take it home. Some fan favorites that we have tried (and have ordered on multiple occasions): Brisket Barbacoa Tacos Cornbread Crispy Brussel Sprouts Loaded BBQ Fries Pulled Pork Smoked Nachos Lastly, a special they might not have all the time-- a jalepeño pulled pork quesadilla. Delicious! If you're ever in the Arts District and have a hankering for BBQ, this is your spot. read more

I got brisket, which was pretty good. They had one that was very lean and that was a little fatties but excellent and juicy. Got some of each. My friend got St. Louis ribs which were good. I thought the brisket was overpriced for the amount you got but ribs were well priced. Service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant, bringing everything when it was ready to come out. Ambiance very good. Rustic look and feel, which in a barbecue spot was a perfect fit. Not sore about parking, we circled the block several times and found nothing on the street so we parked in a lot across the street enclosed by chain link fence.No one was collecting so we took a chance as there were a lot of cars there. We figured it might be parking for people shopping or eating in the area. Also it was a Sunday, so who knows. read more

The place is cool, service wasn't the greatest. There was no one to greet us except someone behind a glass partition preparing food. And, either the bartender was new or filling in as a bartender for the day. We bellied up to the bar to take in some cocktails and camaraderie but settled for canned beverages and talking to each other. Folx around us who ordered food seemed to be enjoying it and the food smelled great but we decided to try a different venue; this one just wasn't our vibe. read more

Came here on a Wednesday around noon. There were a few people inside so service was really fast and friendly. The inside looked very clean and had a typical bbq restaurant style. I only had the Barbacoa tacos and a whiskey. The tacos were amazing! The meat was so very flavorful and probably the best bbq tacos I've ever had. Wish i lived in Vegas so i could go here more often. Definitely earned a repeat visit next time I'm in town. read more

Stopped by again while family was in town visiting. We ordered the smoke nachos and banana pudding and 2 sodas. Total cost was about $40 with tip. The nachos were good and a good amount of meat. Definitely good flavor! The banana pudding was not our favorite. Just not the typical taste of banana pudding we are use to. Each soda was $4.50 so, I wouldn't order soda again. We don't typically drink it, but every now and then when we have a taste for it, we do. But for $9, I'll pass. This is our second time eating here. I'm not sure this would be our top pick for BBQ. It's a certain flavor we crave and I'm not sure we can get that here. The staff is always nice and the place stays consistent with people dining here. read more

I finally made it to SoulBelly BBQ in the Arts District, and honestly... this spot surprised me in the best way. The setup is a fun mix of regular tables and picnic-style seating, plus a full bar and live music that gives the place an easy, weekend-hangout vibe. We came in during the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday and were seated right away - perfect timing. Our server (still kicking myself for not catching his name!) was incredibly attentive and just genuinely nice. Even though the sweet tea was mid at best, he kept it topped off constantly, which I appreciated. Now the food - the pulled pork sandwich slapped. The bread alone was delicious, and the pork was flavorful and well-seasoned all on its own. They've got several sauces on the table, and the sweet one was tasty, but the meat honestly didn't need anything extra. The only downside: I did get a fairly large piece of bone in mine, which was a bummer. The mac and cheese looked small at first glance, but it's rich, filling, and the chicharrón crumble on top adds this salty crunch that works so well. Prices felt pretty standard for BBQ in the Arts District, and the whole vibe was relaxed and welcoming. I bet it's even more fun at night with the live music and bar crowd. Overall, bone mishap aside, I really liked it and would definitely come back. read more

We love coming here before we head back to California. This time we went all out and got half pounds of the brisket, pork belly, jerk chicken, pulled pork, pork ribs and all the sausages.
