    5/5 stars Tocilog (sweet pork) the BEST tocino I've ever had! The glaze on it is DELICIOUS. Garlic rice & eggs yummy too!
    Cecilia H.

    Came here again for the 2nd time with my more ppl in our group and EVERYONE LOVED it! Of course we ordered the pork tocino plate again. Listen, if you come here you have to try this. Absolutely delicious! This visit we tried the lechon kawali and seriously one of the BEST restaurant lechon we've all ever had! To the point we're getting a half tray for our Xmas dinner! 5/5 stars Lechon Kawali DELICIOUS!! One of the BEST we've ever had! And the dipping sauce is amazing too!

    Stopped by for a snack and grabbed some bbq sticks for $3. The staff were friendly, definitely will need to wait as food is made fresh. Plenty of seating and gives you a Filipino karaoke/street food stall vibes. Give them a try.

    Food was amazing! My wife had gotten the tapsilog meat was very flavorful and tender one of the best Tapa in LV that we had tried. I got the tocsilog which is the sweet pork really good. Not too sweet and not super tough like most places. Each dish came with a side of garlic rice and 2 eggs and tomato. We ordered a side of chicken skin I believe it was a special nice and crispy. For drinks we had shared a Melon very refreshing. Service was great very attentive made sure we were comfortable and got everything we needed. Place was very clean it is located inside the Fantastik swap meet on row A corner right from the main entrance. We will be coming back as locals.

    Located in the Indoor Swap Meet Fantastic on Decatur. When you walk in, it's on the first right down the aisle. TIP: Because they are located in the swap meet, there is a $1 entrance fee. Service was good. The female worker who seems to be the owner was very nice and sweet. Food: Sisilog - Garlic Rice, Seasoned Chopped Pork and Eggs Bangsilog- Fried Milkfish, Garlic Rice and Eggs Walang Porkever Lumpia Complimentary Pancit I was not a fan of the Waland Porkever. The sauce was not to my liking. I wiped the sauce off. My preference is plain and on the grill and not smothered in a sauce. The other dishes were all good. The sisig was yummy and my BF enjoyed the Bangsilog. The lumpia was equally as delicious. The pancit was very tasty that I would order that again. Overall, a great spot and I'd try other dishes on my next visit.

    Fried chicken skin

    Everything was so good! The chicken skewers are so flavorful, the deep fried pork was nice and crunchy and the sauce that came with it was so good. The chicken skin was a hit with the kids and a huge portion!

    No contest best bbq in town! The lumpia is also very good With the sweet and sour sauce.

    What a great find! Definitely will come back here when craving Filipino food. We got the sisilog and tocilog, both picks were delicious! So flavorful and such a fulfilling meal and the melon juice was just right with the sweetness. They were welcoming inside and very friendly, felt like home. Inside was nice and clean.

    The food in this place is amazing. It is a combination of different kinds of foods. Sliders, Silogs and Pancit. The taste is authentic.?The service is very good. They are very nice and friendly. Like visiting your family and friends. The place is located at the indoor swap meet and is conveniently located towards the front. People come here for excellent food and to celebrate their special occasion. It reminds me of the eateries in Manila where you can be casual and relaxed. SO to Geraldine whose generosity and hospitality is so genuine. I love all their dishes and I Am highly impressed. I highly recommend that you experience this wonderful place.

    Best place to get authentic Filipino food , the food was served fast. We ordered Airpods(tenga), bbq , tosilog, bangsilog, goto, tokwa't baboy . All the food we ate was sooo good. And the service was superb! They treated us with warm Filipino hospitality. If you want good food, with great service and best price for a generous servings , this is the place you can go to! I failed to take photos of the other orders as we got too excited to eat!!! Ambiance is cozy they even got a place you can perform.

    Halo-halo

    Besides the Silogs that we ordered, the Halo-halo and the BBQ (super tender) was the highlight for us. Everything was so good! Flavor was on point. Chef Eric and Ms. Den, thank you for the excellent food! Sorry we didn't have photos of the dishes, we were so excited that we chowed it down.

    Halo halo

    Legit experience, very tasty food. BBQ is very good as well as the silog plates. Location is inside the fantastic swap meet, but if you go outside the swap meet hours, check out the service door on the side of the building. They have a door bell there, easy peasy!

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!

    Checked out Rolling Smoke Barbecue today, and for Las Vegas BBQ, it was a pretty solid experience…read more The brisket was tender and cooked well, the burnt ends had good flavor, and the Hot Link was solid with a nice balance of seasoning and texture. The sides were also better than expected. The potato salad was especially good, and the mashed potatoes had a lot of flavor and paired well with the meats. My only disappointment was the smoke profile. I was hoping for a stronger smoke presence across the meats, and they definitely benefited from the sauces. Thankfully, the sauces were excellent, especially the mustard-based sauce, which added a great tangy kick and complemented the BBQ perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed the meal. The quality was there, the flavors were good, and it's a strong BBQ option in a city where great barbecue can be hard to find.

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.

    Keep the STEAK FRIES!!!…read more We enjoy this little spot so much! The smoker in the parking lot. The friendly faces and energy inside and out. The locals are locs and so so sweet.

Ooo and next time I'm getting some of those amazing cookies for my sweet fix.

It serves…read moreclassic backyard style BBQ with massive portions, high quality meats, and an atmosphere that makes it a true standout. 3 Meat Combo with Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Pork Ribs (5/5): The brisket is the star of the show, coming out incredibly tender, generously portioned, and perfectly marbled without being overly fatty. 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.

First thing's first: they do NOT play about portions... you get hella food with each combo Everything was on point, the meats were flavorful, tender, and cooked right. The sides held their own too, which always matters. We even stopped in the meat market before leaving and grabbed some chicken and beef links, some frog legs, and a few bones for the dogs The live music was a nice touch and really added to the vibe, and even though they were busy, the wait time honestly wasn't bad at all. Only thing I wasn't really feeling were the sauces, they just weren't my favorite. But everything else hit, so it didn't even matter much. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for some solid BBQ

I had a great experience and am going to bring back some friends.

    This is a solid barbecue joint. Service was great. Atmosphere is awesome…read more I had a two meat platter with an additional sausage link. I had the fatty brisket in the pulled pork. The sausage was a jalapeño cheddar sausage. For my side, I had mac & cheese and coleslaw. To start off, this is a great place. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars I would but I like to round up. Brisket is really good but a little dry in the mouth. Great Smoky flavor. The mouth-feel was just a little off. It was a little dry, but not bad. The pulled pork was wonderful. Nice Smoky flavor. Nice and tender and juicy. Felt great to chew in my mouth and did not feel dry. A+ for the Pork. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was amazing. Really well done. Flavor was great texture was great. Just a little kick, which was great. I always wish there was more kick, but I understand you got a cater to your customers. One thing I was kind of concerned about was the temperature of the coleslaw. It should be really cold, but it was just kind of a little bit of above lukewarm, but not really cold. Coleslaw should be cold. The mac & cheese was pretty good. Needs a little bit more liquid in it but the flavor was awesome. And it looks like they prepackage the Mac 'n cheese in containers and then sprinkle some cheese on top. That's a nice touch, but it makes the whole container of mac & cheese dry out. They only have one barbecue sauce. It was pretty good. But to me the best way to judge barbecue is if it doesn't eat barbecue sauce. And this did not need barbecue sauce. It was just a nice addition. Great ambience. Great music playing. Very clean and well kept area. I would definitely come back when I'm on this side of town.

    I've been to a lot of places over the years, but this one stands out for all the right reasons…read more From the moment you walk through the door, you can tell this isn't just a business--it's a labor of love. Tom and Marni are the heart and soul of this place. Unlike many owners who stay behind the scenes, they're always present, greeting guests, checking on tables, and making sure every customer feels genuinely welcome. 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.

The brisket burnt ends taste, and feel, like they're re-heating and serving leftovers from yesterday or the day before. Portions are kid plate sizes - definitely does NOT match the prices they are charging us. Not sure how these places stay open, but guess they depend on people getting what they're served and keeping their mouths shut; probably from all the dried meats. Ribs taste old - again, taste like it was leftover and re-heated from Saturday. Okras were good. Mac is good. Turkey was moist and tender. As for the rest, it was as dry as their toast. What makes me so critical - spent 16 years in culinary. Certified Pit Master, from Austin, TX. One and done.
