Big B’s Texas BBQ opened its second location just prior to Halloween 2019, and on Saturday during Phase One of Las Vegas’ COVID-19 re-opening plan the Restaurant at 6115 South Fort Apache Road showed again why any discussion of local smoked Meat has began and ended with Brian and Natalia’s brand since 2016.
Named after its Pit Master, and changing the long-held belief that Las Vegas is not a Barbeque town ever since the original opened in Henderson, Big B’s Texas BBQ features the work of Brian Buechner and Natalia Badzjo, the husband and wife team taking a hands-on approach to every aspect of the operation from build-out to driving in fresh piles of wood as needed from the Lone Star State.
Currently working with a skeleton crew, but doing brisk business for dine-in and take-out, guests entering location number two currently will notice all employees clad in PPE, menu largely unaltered and prices still a bargain even as Ingredient costs have risen during the pandemic.
Ready to serve the community during both good and bad times, it was with everything pre-ordered that Meats, Breads and Sides were prepared quickly, a look at the dining area showing ample space for proper social distancing across several tables including Big B’s patio.
Going light on Sides, but focusing on favorites including Sin City’s best BBQ Beans plus Creamed Corn that continues to impress guests of all ages, it was by request that fans got their fill of Buechner’s Potato Salad and hand-cut Fries while others conserved stomach space for Big B’s Brisket that follows Texas protocol with little more than smoke and a bit of seasoning.
Building Sliders with Rolls, Pulled Pork and a splash of Sauce – Pickles, Peppers and Onions optional – Hot Links also went fast with a snap yielding juicy insides, and although Dessert was skipped this time a look at the store’s display suggests all Big B’s favorites are back after a short Corona Virus hiatus.
FIVE STARS: A fan of Big B’s Texas BBQ ever since Brian and Natalia opened the doors in early 2016, the flavors brought from Texas to Vegas and Henderson are everything are everything one might want good or bad times, whether dining in or at home.
RECOMMENDED: Fatty Brisket, Hot Links, Creamed Corn, BBQ Beans, Fries.
AVOID: N/A.
TIP: Now open 11:00am to 9:00pm daily at Suite 110 of 6115 South Fort Apache Road, call (702) 844-8206 for take-out and the city’s best dollar-for-dollar catering value.
WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.
