I have been a frequent customer in the past but hadn't been in a few months so we ordered brisket plate with cheesy grits & smashed potatoes also a beef link. In the past the brisket was so moist & fresh like it just came out of the smoker! That's what we was expecting but not this time. The brisket was tough, chewy & appeared to be a day or two old. It apparently was kept in the warmer they have for way to long & it really dried out. Their house barbecue sauce which is delicious couldn't resuscitate the tough meat. The sides were very good as was the link but for $21 the brisket wasn't worth it. I don't know when I'll ever return. read more

YUM!!! Don't let this location deceive you. This is some of the most delicious BBQ I've ever had. . .and you must try to cheesy corn. read more

Solid 4 for this place. Really wanted BBQ to take to the park and have a picnic with the kids after work on Memorial Day. Our first choice wasn't open (boo), so we decided to try Bell's. Not a bad choice. Smelled insanely delicious inside. Smokey, earthy, sweet. But this place was packed!! I had the feeling they weren't prepared for the onslaught of people that had the same idea I did. Their tiny dining room was jammed with hungry folks who were only getting hungrier from the intoxicating smells. But the peeps behind the counter were cool, calm, collected, and very professional. They apologized when food took long (which they advised guests of prior to ordering at the counter), and we're kind and patient. Hard to do when you're as weeded as they looked, but they pulled it off. The food: again, a solid 4. -My favorite was the pulled chicken. Tender. Not dry. Just enough chew. Smokey, although not really pulled as much as chunked. Atop Texas toast with seasoned salt. Yum. -The smashed yams were fantastic. -The St. Louis. ribs were good. A tad bit over cooked. Not very succulent and juicy like I like em, but great flavor. -The chopped brisket was very peppery, again great smoke flavor, and not too fatty. -Coleslaw was average. Not enough dressing in my opinion, but we ate it all. -Crispy onion straws were good, but we're probably better fresh out of the fryer like most fried foods. -The sauces were superb. Original. Spicy. BBQ ranch. Honey mustard. We are a saucey clan, and we liked them all. -And the PICKLES!!! A+++!!! Will return. Hopefully on a not as busy day, and will eat in. Can't wait to try the mason jar desserts. read more

Ordered a pulled pork and a smoked brisket sandwich to go. The sandwiches were on thick slices of bread that had only been sliced half way through which created a little pocket where they put about two ounces of meat. Total rip off. read more

Great food and great customer service. I will definitely be coming back. The cashier made me feel welcomed and provided great suggestions. I forgot her name but she was early 30s and short lol. read more

I have waited a long time for a great BBQ place to go to, with quality food & St Louis ribs done to perfection! With Tons of sides, lots of choices. A Great Chief ,adding new things on the menu Weekly. Very nice remodel on his restaraunt, & take out is easy & Packaged well. Also a sm Kids menu, & custom desserts. I have become a professional BBQ diner & its 5 Starr . Pease try it, it's a nice family run place! Deanna Langer local eater! read more

I really love this place! The Barbecue is the real deal! But, that's not my favorite thing about this place. Every time I've been here the staff is welcoming and friendly! They always ask how you like your meal and can they bring you anything! The brisket is tender and delicious either sliced or chopped and the chicken dishes seem like homemade. There are so many sides that it is hard to decide which one to order and they are also very unique like okra fries, which completely appeals to my southern roots! It's very reasonably priced and you leave feeling satisfied that you had a great meal. There are a lot of great places to eat in his locale, but, this is by far my favorite, see ya tonight! read more

Ordered the Brisket with mashed yams and Brussels Sprouts! Delicious food and it Definitely hit the spot on my cravings. My fiancé ordered Brisket with the BBQ BEANS. He has no complaints about his meal. read more

Bell's BBQ is now open. I am a big fan of BBQ and it is about time we have a very decent barbecue restaurant on Eastern Ave in Henderson. My wife and I drove by and ate there just 2 hours after they opened their doors. Chef John has 30 years of restaurant experience and he and his wife Stephanie were friendly and welcoming. First the positives (and there are many). The brisket is outstanding. Tender and juicy and filled with flavor. Many times it is difficult for a restaurant to get brisket to not dry out but not at Bell's. It was perfect. We also tried some ribs (naked, without sauce) and LOVED the rub used. The ribs were meaty and did not need sauce but Bell's had 2 homemade sauces available. For sides we tried the Mac n Cheese, the southern greens and baked beans. Of these, you need to especially try the greens. I usually don't like greens but Chef John somehow made these taste pretty awesome. The Mac N Cheese as well as the beans were tasty but compared to the rest of dinner, were just average compared to other BBQ joints I have been to. The biggest positive was the desserts. You MUST try the Smores which were served in a glass jar. Three kinds of chocolate, marshmallow, graham cracker crust with a few cocoa crispies as a topping. Yummy. I would (and will) go back just for this dessert. The negatives are few and pretty minor. The hand printed menu board was difficult to read, there was no TV and the location was a bit hard to find. However, go there once and you will remember because you will be going back time and time again. read more

Honestly, i prefer sweet bbq. I am by no means saying the food is bad. It's good but my experience woukd be better if the sauce was sweeter. I think its pretty expensive too. I got pulled brisket with two sides, a drink and a dessert and it was almost 25 dollars. I would probably come back but there are other options that are cheaper and has the type of sauce i like. read more

We are blessed to have many BBQ options available in Henderson. Many are good. Bell's is right up there at the top of the heap! So what makes Bell's better than the others? Yes, that have all the regular BBQ basics...ribs, chicken, pork, etc. in addition, they offer items the others don't. House specialties, if you will... Shrimp and Grits - Outstanding! Beef Ribs - Best I have ever had anywhere! Sweet Jars - Small desserts...just the right size. I would tell you my favorite, but I have eaten them all and haven't found one that isn't my favorite. House-made pickles. 5 choices of house-made BBQ Sauce including a gluten free option if that is important to you. No matter what you desire, they have you covered. Worth the drive if you eat there or take home or have it delivered. Yes we are blessed in Henderson. Thank you Bell's! read more

Great food!! This bbq southern food place is satisfying, inviting, friendly and delicious! it's casual dining, reasonably priced, the portions are to satisfy ! beverages and beer are available as well. the beef brisket was the best I've tasted in vegas! Ashley and staff was happy to please ! if i had to say one thing , it's a little slow getting your food (worth it) but would of given 5 stars if food was out a little faster. read more

My first time at Bell's BBQ and definitely won't be my last. Quick, efficient curb-side service and friendly, helpful staff. And the FOOD!! Baby back ribs were super meaty and perfectly cooked! I didn't love the potato salad but it was good (I'm super picky about my potato salad). A must-try is the four cheese crusted corn on the cob! Deeeelish!!! Way better value for your money than some of the "chain" bbq places. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing food tonight!! I'm pescatarian and my husband is meat eater. Both of us found amazing menu items!! He got the brisket sandwich which is made into a pocket in the bread!!! Awesome and novel! I had Brussel sprouts and buffalo cauliflower. So so good! Not too spicy not over breaded cauliflower. Pickles and the deviled egg potato salad. All of it was awesome and it was all prepared ready to go as soon as we got there, to go. read more

UPDATE: since writing the below review, Bells has great new employees and still great food. This is a normal lunch dinner date for the hub & me and we love you guys!! Thanks :) Couldn't help myself from updating this review. We love Stephanie and the manager with glasses. They are awesome as well as the back staff. The guy with dreads and the guy who sometimes works the register are awesome. read more

Overall the food was just mediocre. The Mac and cheese was very bland, and the sandwich bread was really greasy. I did like how the sandwich looked when they brought it out, but it was very hard to eat like a normal sandwich. I ended up treating it more like a bread bowl. As for the service, they needed a red bull or something. Between the girl and guy upfront, it took them 5 minutes to bag our food once it was finished. There was no other orders, it was just them dragging their butts. I may try it again since it's close to my house, but it definitely won't be on my go-to dinner spot list. read more

Food is average and expensive. I got a 2 meat plate with 2 sides and dessert for $32. I wouldn't mind if the bbq was outstanding but it was not. read more

Late post. I came here last month when my mother in law came into town. She's from NC and I am from AL. So we bother have different views on BBQ. Well this place was a hit with us. First when we walked in, I felt like I was back in the South with the hospitality from the staff. We explained we just moved here and this was our first time in. They explained the menu and told us how they make the meats. The sandwiches were very delicious! A++ will return soon. read more

I went by myself, so I can only speak to what I had. First off, the family that runs this place is so helpful and accommodating that you feel like a guest rather than a customer. I ordered the St. Louis ribs. They were meaty and smoked perfectly. I cannot speak to the sauce as I do not eat sugar, but they did have sriracha available which paired perfectly. My sides were the fried Brussel sprouts with bacon and the Southern style greens... both delicious! They brine their own pickles... which rocked! I don't know whether to try the pork belly or baby backs next time.... maybe I should get both! read more

The service here is top notch. The bbq was great. I had the Pork Belly (on the advise of the employee) and my wife had the Half Chicken. Both tasted very good. The place was packed when we came in, but we were able to find a spot. We had the Caramelized Banana Pudding for desert. Wow is all I can say about the desert. The only thing we didn't love about this place are the sides. We look forward to coming back and trying other items off of their menu. read more

Bell's BBQ - Caramelized Banana Pudding - Barbeque Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Ever since I moved here to Vegas almost two years ago, I have been trying to find that outstanding BBQ place that I could call my favorite. I have tried John Mulls meats, Famous Daves, Rollin Smoke, Lucilles, and a few other places I have forgotten. All of those places have let me down in one way or another (sauce overpowering, too expensive, too bland, etc). Bells is the Belle of the Ball. I had the Pork Belly plate with a Brisket add-on, with Smashed Potatoes and the 3-cheese Mac and Cheese for my sides, and Sweet Tea to drink. The Pork Belly was so tender and juicy. It was the second best belly I have. Only second best because the best was a little less fatty and had more of a smoked bacony flavor. The Brisket was also fantastic. Tender and fall apart on your fork. The Smashed Potatoes are flavored with Smoked Garlic but it's just a hint. Not over powering at all. And they are real potatoes. Like my mom used to make. Definitely not powdered or flake. The 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese is great. You really can't go wrong on a 3 cheese mac. The sweet tea was good, definitely not overly sweet. Will DEFINITELY be returning here read more

May be able to blame bad food and service on Carona circumstances but here is my experience: I placed a phone order to be picked up at 5:30. I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs and sides of Mac and cheese and coleslaw. It took a half an hour to get the food out to the car and when we got home realized that the ribs were St. Louis style ( not babyback), the Texas toast was cold and burnt, the coleslaw was tasteless and watery, and the Mac and cheese was mediocre at best. The bill was $29.00. read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT!! Smiles upon walking in and more than thorough explanation of how to order. Thank you guys...Chicken was perfectly crisp with the inside moist. Mac n cheese and the 5 fries were the right choice for sides. Presentation of the food was clean and appetizing. read more

Love the sandwiches here sooooooo much!!! They just do everything we have tried so well but the corn that is crusted in 4 cheeses just can't describe have to try!!!!!! Try and have some desert if ya have room. read more

Probably one of the best places for bbq I have been for a while. Now I am giving this 5 stars for multiple reasons though there were a few recommendations. I will start out with the things I didn't so much love nor dislike but did think need improvement, minor yet notable. First, was my husband ordered a side of pork. The young man at the register asked if he would like that chopped and my husband said, " yes". His only recommendation on all the meat was to chop it a little more like more traditional bbq so its easier for consumers to eat. Second, were the okra fries. I absolutely love okra so to see okra on the menu I was ecstatic. These left me a tad disappointed. The end was still intact, the breading was falling off, they lacked any flavor, and had to be my least favorite thing I ate while dining. Now for all the AMAZING THINGS!!!! I am vegetarian and my husband is full on carnivore so the menu here was perfect for both of us giving multiple options. I ordered the Mac and cheese which was heavily!!!! I have to say it probably was the best Mac and cheese I ever had anywhere so major props! I also ordered the sweet potatoes which were divine and not to sweet like other places. The grilled cheese was made with real cheddar on Texas toast and not greasy. My husband ordered a pork bbq sandwich which was huge, the meat was tender and moist. I have to say I am very happy that Bells has come into this location because we will definitely be frequent customers. The staff was wonderful and food was delicious!! read more

So I don't have much of an interest in ordering up outside BBQ, as I'm confident in my own S..T. That said, I was in a pinch tonight as I worked and had a small army coming over for Game 1 of the World Series. Decided to risk it and give this little joint a try! Called in my order and headed down for pick up, which they said would be ready in 20. Showed up, met the peeps and was immediately impressed with the place, old school Southern BBQ joint! Payed up (Great Value) went home, set up and was Blown Away!!! Ordered pretty much everything on the menu and to the item...was Blown Away!! Not so impressed with my own S..T anymore! These Guys Rock!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Ordered ribs , Brussel spouts, fried okra , fries, baked beans ,potato salad, Cole slaw. The items that were fried were too salty ,if not for that ,it would've been good. Potato salad was tasty The service was slow ,they messed up on my order so I had to wait 15 min longer while my friends ate . The pumpkin dessert in a little jar was really good .The ribs were a little dry ,tough too . Maybe I'll wait a few months and give it another try. read more

I went there last weekend with my family. My wife and kids got a half chicken with sweet mash potato. I got pulled chicken with fries. We got our food in a timely manner. The staff was great and polite. We had to try their desert I got the banana pudding and my wife and kids got the s'mores. It was great experience for my entire family. I would recommend it to people. read more

This place was great. We have ate BBQ straight from the south. And this place being in Vegas is not bad, pretty close to straight southern BBQ. Over all conten and satisfied. FYI , the portions are big so brace yourself for a feast!!!!enjoy!! read more

The fried okra is like no other...amazing! The pork belly and cheese grits are delicious!

I just enjoyed a delicious BBQ chicken meal while my children had pasta and grilled cheese. (Kids eat free Tuesday evenings). The food was yummy and the portions were very generous. They had so many sides to choose from. The potato salad was great. I recommend Bell's BBQ based on the food and the great service we hAd. read more

This has honestly just become a new fav for me. It's hard to catch it from Eastern because it's in a retail / office complex and not a standalone building. The menu has all kinds of options from ribs to pulled pork/chicken, and a bunch of sides to choose from. We had the St Louis Ribs and pulled chicken. Wow! it was good. They also have a great kids menu, especially if they aren't in to BBQ. Our kids had corn dogs and Mac n cheese. While there food was amazing, I was most shocked with their customer service. The employees came by several time to make sure we had everything we needed, refilled our drinks several times, and even cleaned our table off when we were done. In addition, the owner and head chef came out to welcome us and thank us for coming in...wow!!! We will definitely be back. This place just exceeded my expectations! read more

Food is delicious! Best baby back ribs I've ever eaten! Tons of sides to pick from. The fried zucchini and crispy Brussels sprouts were fabulous! A must try! read more

Finger-licking-good. This is my second time to Bell's Bbq. The first time we dined in, and the second was takeout. I'm not a gnaw the meat off the bone type of girl, so I opted for the pulled chicken both time. Flaky, tender, and extra spicy with their choice of regular or hot bbq sauce. Aside from the meat, I am a major sides girl. They have so many to choose from and are always adding new ones. So far the cheese corn, baked beans (with pieces of brisket), deviled egg potato salad, garlic mash, and cheese grits have been my default favs. They offer two with your meat order, but you can add on as many as you want for a reasonable $1.75. Also, house made pickles and Texas toast (think Raising Canes) come with your meal. This place is great for kids. Im all about not paying an arm and a leg for my two kids to eat out. I get them both a side order of the 3 cheese Mac and they are stuffed. Super cheap, super yum. The restaurant itself is clean and cute. Nothing over the top, but I kind of like that. A Mom and Pop kind of place. The staff is super helpful, and they are on top of coming over to fill your cup at the self serve drink station. A+ service. Next time, I'm going for that banana pudding sweet jar. read more

Finally made it to this restaurant and boy are we glad we did!! We ordered takeout. When I called to place my order the man on the phone was soooo nice and patient. He said it would be ready in 15-20 minutes and it was ready when we got there. As soon as you pull up the aromas are so enticing it makes you anxious to want to eat! We ordered 6 bone baby back ribs with smashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Another order but this one with mac and cheese and crispy brussel sprouts (Yum!). Also a side of pork belly, buffalo fried cauliflower (so good!) and a sweet cheesecake jar. Everything was packed beautifully and everything we ordered was DELICIOUS all the way down to their signature BBQ sauce. The portions are HUGE including the ribs. They have a great menu with a large/great selection of sides all of which I cannot wait to try. Really a great asset to our community and I wish them continued success. read more

The big foodie surprise on this trip to Las Vegas. I had the brisket with a side of ribs...I kid you not, a side of ribs! First, unless you are a BIG eater, the side was not needed as the portion on the brisket meal was plenty. The brisket was delicious; moist, tender with a good flavor. Same for the ribs. I had their fried okra as a side and it was prepared like french fries, a first for me... However, the okra was fresh and tasted great. There was some kind of house sauce with the okra that also tasted pretty darn good. The only issue I had was that I ate so much that I had no room for desert.... I'll try this again on my next trip!!! read more

My fiancé and I visited this location around 2 pm on Wednesday, August 3rd. I was super excited to try the brisket sandwich as my fiancé has ate here several times without me. The woman at the register gave a slight attitude while taking our order but we brushed it off. When we received our food my fiancé noticed a hair in his fries. When we brought it very politely to the lady's attention she acted very standoffish and asked "what do you want me to do?" My fiancé replied back asking "would you want to eat something with hair in it?" She gave him a big, sarcastic shrug and started walking off. Only after he said something about her shrugging did she apologize and say she was going to replace the fries. It made the rest of our lunch extremely uncomfortable and we were just ready to leave. I couldn't believe the attitude and unprofessionalism she displayed. She acted as though we placed a hair in his food to get something for free. That wasn't our intentions and we never asked for anything either. Furthermore, the hair wasn't even our types of hair as a blonde woman and a black man. I don't know if the woman had a problem with the color of my fiancé's skin or a was just having a bad day but we won't be returning. read more
