This little (has only 7 tables and no outdoor seating because LV is 400F) BBQ house in Las Vegas situated next to I-15 near downtown in a shady looking spot has celebrities posted all over its wall with autographs to accompany. It's pretty hole-in-wall, with public bathroom floor tiles as the wall and disregard of the store front presence. This is a good sign.
How did I find it? I got hungry and asked Rar's Garmin to direct me to the nearest BBQ, and voila. (By the way, that's how you gauge whether a GPS is good - let it lead you to your favorite category of cuisine. If the food ain't hittin' the spot, then the GPS is garbage.)
I got the lunch special - very simple: a bunch of ribs and 2 pieces of soft wheat bread with homemade BBQ sauce on the side. That sauce is something else. I don't have the technique of making BBQ sauce down, so I can't comment too much on it. But it's one of those sauces that just makes you give the middle finger to the fork and napkin and go bonkeroni with the finger-licking.
Anyway the ribs were juicy, and the wheat bread dipped in BBQ sauce was surprisingly tasty. I found myself just devouring the slices. Simple, tasty, no more than 20 minutes, and cost less than $7 including taxes. The sauce and ribs came in a disposeable take-out box, and the bread came in a zip-lock.
I don't know why but the cooks in the back were cooking in the dark - don't know what that's about.
Pretty good for a quick lunch and the meat ain't bad. Give it a shot if you're in Vegas.
