Yogi’s Picnic Basket

For something to eat in a half rented mall its the bomb. We were on our way home from Havasu to Vegas and wanted lunch checked on Unilocal for BBQ in Bullhead, Laughlin area and found this place. The pork and brisket were top notch the sauces were good also. So dont pass this place up because of its location because you’ll be missing out on good affordable BBQ. Oh yeah don’t forget to get the mac and cheese its the snizzle.

Good food. Not a 5 start restaurant but you get what you pay for. BBQ had a strong pepper taste. Homemade fries were delicious. Customer service was great.

Good restaurant for a food court. They had four different types of barbecue sauce to choose from. I tried the chipotle flavor on the redneck sandwich and loved it. The have sodas on tap and in cans. You can order food to take out if staying in a hotel nearby.

Awesome! Great customer service. The food was better than most true restaurants. The pizza place next door also belongs to the same owner. I had the bbq my kid the pizza. Both meals were awesome. And for less than $ 10 per person and meal really reasonably priced.

Staff was friendly, sauces were flavorful. Very filling for $ 10. Piggy mac sandwich was a little messy. Try every sauce!

I ate at this little place when I was in Laughlin for a wedding. The food was absolutely to die for. I had the BBQ chicken wrap and it was like eating the tears of baby Jesus. My husband had a pulled pork sandwich and son had pulled pork tacos. They loved their food and the people working there were so nice and friendly. I was not expecting such great food in a mall food court. Highly recommend you check them out if you are in the area.

I ASSUME IT WAS A DIFFERENT COOK… Chicken wasn’t as crispy & fries were salty oily… Not planning to come again

I am SHOCKED that my experience here was so different than all the other reviews. We are here while visiting from out of state and were extremely excited for our food. It took FOREVER and was super slow, which was annoying, but can be over looked. I ordered the Cowboy Sandwich. You’d think it would have been piping hot based on the length it took them to make it, but NOPE. I could literally tell they grabbed the meat out of the freezer and threw it on the grill because the inside and tips of the meat were still cold. The slaw had absolutely no flavor whatsoever unless you considered mayo flavored slaw delicious. Complete and utter disappointment all for the small price of $ 12, for JUST a sandwich. Will never spend another dime here nor recommend to anyone. Must have caught them on a terrible day!

Was great. Actually drove to a mall food court for lunch. Glad we did. Fantastic bbq and the Mac an cheese is to die for. Will be going back soon. BONUS: mon tues and wed, spend $ 20 and get free movie tickets. Great way to spend the afternoon. Great lunch and a movie for 2 only $ 20
Had to down grade a star. Last visit was not as good as the first.

Driving though town checked out Unilocal and found this place. Not at all disappointed with the BBQ pork sandwich that I had. Can’t say that I have had better. Check them out. I don’t think you will be disappointed. In a food court of a mall. Don’t expect fancy service.

Was Wow’d by the great BBQ sandwiches and all the entrees. Is a must when in Laughlin. Love the hot habanero sauce and the pulled pork, mouth watering balance of juicy meat and fresh sauces. Wish there was one close to me Riverside.

So good takes a little bit of time but good food isn’t made in a second and this stuff is worth the wait the BBQ sauces are so good I’m bummed we don’t have one in cali a use this place is better than Lucille

When I think of Laughlin, decent barbeque definitely does not come to mind. At least until now that I have eaten here twice already. Located inside the outlet mall in the food court just across the street from the Aquarius Casino, you wouldnt think that a decent barbeque place could exist here. If you are wondering how the heck are they are able to smoke their meats since they are located in a strip mall then you did not see the smoker that is in the parking lot.
What I ended up having was the Cowboy Sandwich ($ 12). Applewood smoked beef brisket and key lime– slaw served on a large Hawaiian bun. You also have the option of adding tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions on it no charge. I had the onions and tomatoes added. If you refer to my pic, the sandwich itself is huge. They give you plenty of meat and yes, you can taste the smokiness to it. The slaw that is served with it has a lime and vinegar taste to it which complimented the tomatoes and onions along with the brisket.
As for the barbeque sauces they make 4 flavors from scratch. They are Southern, Moppin, Habanero, and Chipotle. I tried all 4 and thought they were decent but the two that I liked the most was moppin and habanero which had a good kick to it but overpowering. You can tast each sauce with plastic spoons they provide at the counter. Whatever sauce (s) you like, you can put it in the small cups they provide as well. Try all of them. You wont know what you really like til you compare.
Some random useful info. According to their facebook page, they started serving baby back ribs on the weekends only starting friday. They had a special of half a rack of ribs, a side of beans, and potato salad for $ 11.99. They are now called Yogi’s Bbq instead of Yogi’s Picnic Basket. I went and submitted the changes to Unilocal.Business hours are Monday through Saturday 10 am to 8 pm and Sunday 10 am to 7 pm. You can get free refills on fountain drinks.
In closing, I have yet to try their other items because the Cowboy Sandwich made me have it again the second visit. I spent a total of 15 bucks and some change because I ordered soda with it. Kind of pricey I know but the sandwich itself def will fill you up. Now any time I come to Laughlin, I know there is at least one decent barbeque place.

… Wow!
So I never go into this mall, but one day I happened past the area and noticed an industrial-​sized smoker in the parking lot. Out of pure curiosity, I wandered into the food court to see who owned and operated this machine. I immediately noticed Yogi’s and headed over. It wasn’t busy, surprisingly, and I was able to order right away. The prices seemed steep to the point where it almost deterred me from ordering, but I’m a sucker for smoked meats so I just had to give them a try.
While perusing the menu, reading the choices to myself under my breath, the kind lady from behind the counter made a quick note in response to one of the menu items I was eyeing — and that was the redneck sandwich to which she claimed was becoming their signature sandwich. So that much was enough to sell me, well, that and the description of the item provided. My order was ready quick and I was out the door in about under ten minutes of having walked in. Upon getting home, I was slightly disspointed in the serving size. For 10 $, I got a medium-​sized sandwich on a Hawaiian hamburger-​style bun with no fries, no chips and no soda. I just wish I could give them five stars, but paying ten dollars, I expect either a bigger sandwich or some sides with a drink. Now although I did not get full, I did fully enjoy my sandwich. The pork was tender and tasty, as well was the coleslaw. Their BBQ sauce appeared to be homemade, and rather unique. I enjoyed it to say the least.
The dining area was your typical food court setup, spacious yet so-​so in quality of seating. Parking is fine, never have trouble parking unless its a busy weekend. After all, the mall this establishment is located in is directly on Laughlin’s casino strip.
I will return, though I really do hope Ma n’ Pa look into the portions of their servings against the price of their items.

I had the flat bread chicken pizza it was very good lots of cheeses! The homemade BBQ sauce was also good on the pizza. We plan to go back soon and try the ribs! The owners are very friendly hope this place sticks around.

Phenomenal experience. I had the Red Neck Sandwich which consists of moist pulled pork, key lime slaw and your choice of four different kinds of BBQ sauce (all of which are innovative and original). You can accompany the sandwich with sliced tomatoes, jalapeños and red onions if you so desire; I did. All of which were extremely fresh! This small addition added extra crunch, spice and moisture to the sandwich which to me took it to a whole other level. Both owners are very, very pleasant and were appreciative of my business. Leslie really personalized the experience and her husband delivered an incredible quality product. This is refreshing to see in this town. I will be back, SOON.

We LOVE BBQ and this is great BBQ! The service is great and the sauces are amazing. We had the Piggie Mac and the Redneck with onions. Yum!

So I travel to bullhead city/​Laughlin about 4 – 5 times a year for a couple days at a time for work. I ate here for the first time last night. Omg it wss amazing! I ordered the piggy mac for $ 10, it was simply delicious! Mac and cheese with pulled pork in a grilled cheese. I’m going back today to get something else!
Forgot to add two things. Get the peach iced tea, it’s unsweetened but good. And they are super friendly!
I want everyone to eat their great food! And a note to the owners, please don’t change and sell out, you are doing amazingly. Great food, awesome service good selection. Keep it up! :-) I hope this stays around for a long time!

My husband and I were heading back home to Vegas and were looking for a sandwich shop to eat other than subway on a Sunday but everywhere was closed. I wasn’t really wanting bbq because the last time I had pulled pork it came back up (I’m pregnant lol) so we took a drive over the river to Arizona to find a place and no luck. We went back to Laughlin and picked yogis because of the 5 star rating from the previous Unilocaler. Let me just say we shouldn’t have gone anywhere else!
My husband and I shared the piggy mac. It’s a pulled pork sandwich with 5 cheese mac and cheese and a cheese slice for $ 10. Wow! It was so delicious! It’s a little spicy but I enjoyed the spice! It wasn’t the type of sandwich you pick up either (I mean you obviously you can) we used to a fork for max flavor explosions in your mouth! Perfect portion for my husband and I. The woman at the cashier was extremely friendly and also told us that she’s only seen a few people finish the sandwich by themselves and only 1 other person who came back for seconds!
The only complaint I have was the sweet tea. It didn’t taste gross, I drank it all, but I think if they changed the containers it’s in it would taste much better!
When we come back to Laughlin this will be the place we eat at every time!

I sure hope this business lasts a very long time here. I kept stopping by but they weren’t open – until my stop yesterday! Woot woot. Score. They had menus up before they actually opened, so I was anxiously awaiting their arrival. I had a good feeling about their offerings, and I was right! I tasted the redneck & the cowboy tacos. Although I’m not sure which was which (one is pork & one is beef) when I was eating, I was still delighted with both. If you order the tacos «plain», you still get homemade cole slaw and your choice of bbq sauces.
Since I am unfamiliar with them, I used their Southern sauce, which was the mildest that they offer. It was tasty sauce, but a bit too mild for me. I may just try something with a bigger kick next time. They have four different sauces, but I might shy away from the spiciest two. I know he said one of them had habanero in it. I can’t remember the other one.
They do not skimp on the meat. The tacos are good size. I had to use two hands to eat mine, as it was full of so much goodness. Tacos also had the option of adding onion, tomato & jalapenos. At the moment they are only offering canned sodas, bottled water, lemonade & iced tea. I did talk to the owner. She says in about a week they should have their full menu as well as fountain drinks. They do take plastic, but only Visa & Mastercard. They use one of those apps on their tablet to accept payment. It doesn’t bother me, as a lot of food trucks back in SoCal do it, but just thought I’d throw it out there cuz some people don’t like those things. I’ll be back, as there is much left on their menu I’d like to try. Plus I cannot stress again how much I hope this business survives here. Its so unique, I’ve never seen pot pies or biscuits and gravy offered in a food court before them. Yum.
