Fox Smokehouse Bbq

True BBQ — found via Unilocal and due to the general good reviews we decided to stop by on the way back to Vegas after a short drive to Hoover Dam.
We were surprised by the Texas size orders when doing combos.
Combo#2 one Meat two sides each and ½ a rack on the side — boy are we full.
Would recomend this place anytime
Well a Big Well done from Denmark is at it’s place

As some others reported, we stopped here for dinner on the way back to Vegas from Hoover Dam. Great food, low prices, what more could one want? My wife and I split a barbecue chicken sandwich, all good.

This was by far one of best meals I have eaten in a very long time and the owners of this business are incredibly kind. Highly recommend trying the Mac and cheese!

Best ribs I’ve ever had!!! +++++

PROS:
Excellent service from the young lady. She even gave my little toddler her own little water cup container with a short straw. Clean highchair, which is a plus. We ordered the brisket, ribs, sausages, cornbread, mac & cheese, and sweet potatoe fries. Delicious bbq! Smoked perfectly. The meat fell right off the bone on the ribs. Just delicious! I love the flavor of the mild bbq sauce. I had to ask for some to go. I haven’t had a good bbq in a long time. We normally go to Lucille’s in Green Valley Ranch area. My husband said, it’s much better than Lucille’s. I have to agree. A friend from work has been talking about this place. She comes here twice a week, since she lives in Boulder City. Another friend of mine swears by this place. Now I know why.
CONS:
I wish it was closer to my house. :)

This is an excellent restaurant! I had smoked chicken, macaroni and cheese and coleslaw. Everything was delicious. I was so impressed with the service too. The owner came by the table to ask me if I enjoyed my meal. He was a very nice man. The waitress kept my drink full at all times and she was very helpful when I asked questions about the menu.

This was recommended by people I work with at the Wynn Las Vegas how staff from this area boasted about it, yes the meat is tender and tastes great but for the price its not worth it, I got 3 slices of brisket good job I chose that as I would have had one slice of brisket, My Hubby had the Mac and Cheese that looked greasy and old within 30 minutes of leaving he felt really ill and had to use a public bathroom, Fox smoke house is not the best place, I would go to the one in Green Valley Ranch as its 100% better than this one!

Really good ribs, and on those alone this place is an easy 4* — however, I’m not as big a fan of the brisket and pulled pork, as I found both very dry and especially the brisket lacked the smoke ring I’d expect from a place like this. But the ribs are for sure worth the drive out here for anyone in the Vegas area.
I’ve only been here twice, look forward to updating once I get a few more visits in.

Hands down best BBQ. Clean, fast, friendly… And the food is soooo yummy. I had brisket, boyfriend had ribs. Nothing to complain or give constructive criticism about at all! The cole slaw not soupy or dry… Excellent flavor. Will be returning with an appetite!

Finally a great BBQ spot near Las Vegas! Went on a spontaneous trip to Boulder City for a birthday celebration. Unilocaled this spot a few weeks back so decided to try it. I mean it is 5 star rated ;)
A great, home feel spot with delicious BBQ! We had the «combo #4», selected the ribs, brisket, beans and the amazing Mac and cheese. All were exceptionally cooked. The Mac and cheese was one of our favorites. I had been craving some corn bread and it did not disappoint! Even the butter was already at room temperature! Although small, the restaurant is reasonably attractive with awesome rusty art on the walls and cool 80s music!

Food was to die for! Meat was very tender, fry seasoning was salty and sweet, cowboy beans were delicious! We went at just the right time because as we were leaving it started to get busy. The waiters and servers were friendly but we had to ask for waters a few times and they didn’t check in on us too much. Just because it wasn’t busy I feel like they should have been more tending to us but overall it was great food and we will be back.

I was here 6 days ago. They had two different bbq sauces. The mild one had no spice at all. The spicy one was mild, if that. The ribs were delicious but didn’t really fall off the bone like it should. The mac n cheese was the best part of the dinner! It was so creamy and good. The potato salad was a huge fail. I couldn’t even finish it.
The food would’ve made this a ⁴⁄₅ but what made it a 3 was their service towards other guests. We came about 30 before closing so by the time we were finishing up, it was almost time to close. Whenever guests would walk in they’d just say, «we’re closed!» And just waiting to see if people would leave before them explaining that take out is still an option.
Now let’s think of it like this. If the place is open later than it should be, that could’ve been $ 30+ in your pockets and they basically didn’t care just because the blond tall girl and the girl with the weird voice wanted to go home (especially the blond chick.) If you don’t want to work there, go get another job and let people who need it and would appreciate it have it.
You work in a restaurant. Get used to the way it works.

Quite a drive if you don’t live near the new part of Henderson. But this place is worth going to if you’re around the area or plan to go to Hoover Dam or looking to explore off the strip. This place is super casual and servers are friendly. You can order bbQ items a la carte but I would suggest doing one of their combo meals where you choose either one or two item of meats plus one or two sides plus a bread roll. I opted for two meats and one side. Ribs and pulled pork with Mac n cheese. My boyfriend got fries for his side and omg, get the fries instead. The mac n cheese was just too mushy and cheesy for my liking. Maybe because I’m use to al dente noodles but yeah, Mac n cheese was mehhhhh. Would not recommend it. But their fries, ohhhh yes get them! Ribs just fall riiiight off the bone. The combo comes with about 4 ribs which was filling enough especially with the pulled pork. SOO soft and tender. I suggest doing pulled pork and ribs + fries combo.

If you’re a fan of BBQ then Fox Smokehouse BBQ is definitely worth a stop, even if you don’t live in Boulder City!!!
As I walked in I couldn’t help but notice all the trophies on display. From what I read, they compete in lots of contests showing their skills all across the western part of the US. It tells me how serious they are about BBQ and their constant drive to improve on their craft.
I ordered the two meat plate consisting of the Brisket, Pulled Pork and as sides Mac&Cheese and Cowboy Beans.
The Brisket here is the best have ever had and I have scoured all over Vegas! The taste is simple, salty, fatty, meaty and undeniably pure. I didn’t have to use much BBQ sauce, the flavor held its own. I could say that for pulled pork too, unbelievably tender and moist.
The Cowboy Beans are from leftover meats that has the smoky, meaty qualities infused the beans and produced a deeply flavored and hearty dish, this is a popular side.
Mac & Cheese was creamy and nicely balanced, I mixed some pulled pork in it and took it to another level.
The people there are so nice and helpful they made sure I had have a good experience.
It’s a bit of drive to get there, but it’s worth it. Fox is tucked away in one of the quietest areas of Clark County, its off the beaten path even for Boulder City. Gives you chance to explore Boulder City rich culture.
Fox Smokehouse BBQ is must for any foodie!!!

This place is a hidden gem located in Boulder City, outside of the Las Vegas Metro metro area. The service was great, it seemed like I interacted with every member of the staff at least once and they always were checking in to make sure everything was great — which it was!
Usually after paying 13 – 15 bucks for a meal I’m still feeling like I could’ve had more — not here. I was stuffed even before finishing, but I made it through. Very good portions for what I ordered.
The ribs were good, even with all the small bones. Cowboy Cheese Fries were great as well. The Mac & Cheese was on another level however… HEAVENLY. I will be back for that alone.
Be advised, they don’t use silverware at this place, has a real BBQ picnic feel to this nice little hole in the wall joint. So if you want something fancy, go eat snails somewhere else. This is real food!
I will be back again for sure!

************ UPDATED ! ************
The service was so much better on my latest visit. All it took was a little time for the Fox’s to fix this small hiccup as they moved to to table service.
The food was so damn good and the brisket sandwich is just nirvana. I cannot speak highly enough of how good the food is here. These folks have something special here and I am glad I found it!
****************************************
My new favorite bbq place in Vegas. The tri-​tip sandwich was sublime. It is served on Texas Toast that is so delicious. Crispy, buttery, golden exterior with a soft center. The meat was melt in your mouth tender with a great smoky flavor. The spicy bbq sauce was a perfect accent.
It came with a huge pile of crispy hot French Fries that I could not stop eating. If I have any criticism it is the waitstaff. They were all pleasant and hard working but they still don’t have the table service concept down yet. It seems this was more of a lunch counter place and the restaurant concept is sort of new to them. Again, the servers were great, they just need some guidance and training.
That small criticism pales in comparison to how good the food is here. I will be back even though it is 29 miles from my home. DELICIOUS.

Yum!
Just seeing the name made my mouth water. We stopped here on the way back from the Hoover Dam mainly because of the amount of reviews it had and still a 5* place. That is some serious love!
We didn’t go wrong here that is certain! I had the pulled pork sandwich and mac and cheese as a side. I wish I ordered two helpings of the mac and cheese!
Honest to God, they have the best mac and cheese I have ever had in my life (including from areas such as all the Southeast, Portland, Seattle, LA…)!
The waitress was spot on and knew what she was doing, They had a free dessert for checking in and holy cow the cheese cake was phenomenal!
I may just book a trip to Vegas just to eat here again!

Love, love, love this place! I was feeling pretty off yesterday and my cravings started kicking in all I could think of was that yummy burger my sister always brings me from Boulder city. Decided to take drive from Henderson to Boulder city (it’s not far at all)
Walking in you can smell the yummy BBQ. I was greeted by Monica she was such a sweetheart! She helped me out with everything explained the sauces and combinations. I had the smokehouse burger witch is Angus beef mixed with smokehouse brisket with bbq mayo (amazing sauce btw) lettuce onion and tomato. I chose fries as a side they season them with this amazing seasoning.
For dessert I had the brownie cheese bites they were pretty sweet and chewy perfect*
I can’t wait to go back! I’ll definitely be going back soon.

Update: Hands down, without question, this is one of the absolute best places for BBQ in Vegas. Fox Smokehouse BBQ continues to deliver great food, great service, and for myself and my entire family they stand alone as the absolute best BBQ one can get their hands on without having it shipped in from Kansas City.
I felt so strongly about Fox that I bumped them a couple of months ago to my «Mythical 6^th Star» list for places that are truly exceptional. That decision continues to be validated as the right one time after time after time. If you want brisket that melts in your mouth, ribs cooked to perfection that falls off the bone with the slightest effort… you make the drive to Boulder City and find this place.
5 Stars +. Yes, it’s really that good. No it’s not good, it’s exceptional! Let me put it this way, when I have family come in from out of state and I want them to experience the Best of Vegas, there are two places that I insist that they try: Old School Pizzeria, and Fox Smokehouse BBQ. They truly stand out as some of the very best food Las Vegas has to offer. And as I sit here writing this now I’m craving ribs. If it wasn’t late I’d be calling in an order to go and pick some up.

I had to do some business in Boulder City, and even though I had just eaten, I really wanted to stop in here and check out this place. As I walked in the door, the sweet aroma of smoking meats gave me a bit of a chubby. Oh how I love good BBQ. The staff was very helpful and gave me some great insight on the restaurant and owners. Their ribs have won some competitions.
The restaurant itself is fairly big, with probably 20 or more tables so plenty of room to sit and enjoy. They have several beers available, along with sodas and ice tea, sweet tea, and more.
I got the two meat combo with brisket and ribs. A side of BBQ beans. I took this to go so I could enjoy for dinner that night.
The brisket was tasty, albeit a little dry. Not much smoke ring to it, the flavors didn’t jump out and wow me. The ribs were a bit heavy on the rub, fell off the bone, and also lacked any kind of wow factor. The baked beans I sampled and didn’t finish because they were more on the peppery side than I like. A small store bought dinner roll finished off the meal. Their BBQ was actually pretty good, had a nice sweet and smoky combo.
I’ll try them again, they are the best BBQ in Boulder City. I think the hype outweighed the product though. Worth another try next time I’m in Boulder City.
