Absolutely loved the customer service that I received. The woman who took my order was just awesome. Also loved the typical barbecue joint theme decorations throughout the restaurant. And lastly I loved all of the food, truly :)
Picked up some smoked meats to go since my dad and I were missing a protein with our dinner. $40 for the haul wasn't bad! Taste and texture of the meats were on point. Solid neighborhood spot, surprised at how empty it was on a Saturday night but it was an hour before closing. Our only critique was that the house bbq and spicy bbq sauce were not a hit. I've never had a bbq sauce like that so we'll pass on that next time.
As the kids would say the place is mid. Not bad but not good either. Walking up a nice bbq smell wafted in the air and got me excited. Unfortunately the excitement was short lived. I got the brisket sandwich with mac n cheese and two baby back rib bones. Service was quick and easy. If you have to put shredded cheese on top of your mac you've already failed. It was gross and almost inedible. The ribs were dry and flavorless. The meat did not fall off the bone. The brisket was bland and dry. The the og bbq sauce and spicy sauce were both very good and saved the brisket. On a side note the strip mall has the ugliest buildings.
I've been meaning to try Bell's for quite awhile, this morning I was craving bbq so we decided to come here, the smells as you walk up are salavating. As soon as you walk in there is a counter where you place your order, the cashier was very welcoming and answered all of the questions I had to help me decide. I ended up getting a plate of Brisket which comes with Texas Toast, and your choice of two sides, I ordered their crispy Brussels sprouts- these are a premium side, so they were a .75 up charge, I also had their red beans and rice and since I really wanted cornbread I ordered a side of that too (totally unnecessary on my part since they serve the brisket over Texas Toast) They have a great variety of sides, which actually made my decision on what to order hard because I love sides. The brisket was tender smoky and delicious, and they had 4 different bbq sauces to top your meats off with. Overall I left here extremely full and satisfied. Glad I finally made my way in here, I plan on coming back soon to try all the different sides and meats.
This would have been a 4-star review, but my brisket was the fattest I can recall ever getting at a restaurant. The first time we ate at Bell's a couple of years ago, I also had fatty brisket. I told my wife I would never order it at Bell's again. However, while placing an order online, I saw where you could request lean brisket. Great, I'll give them another chance! I requested, "The leanest brisket you have, please." They even print that on your receipt. Lean, it was not, I ate just about half of the meat. My wife's pulled pork sandwich was quite good. Bell's sides are quite good. As we usually do, we got a side of Brussels sprouts, mac n' cheese, and the deviled egg potato salad. We tried the Buffalo Cauliflower, and I really loved it! Nice and crispy with a kick that is not overwhelming. We also like the braised greens and mashed yams. Also, their house BBQ sauce is quite good. The girl who checked out our carryout order was very friendly, even funny. As BBQ fanatics, we'd be back more often if the brisket wasn't so fatty.
It's one year later than our first review. Could they possibly perform as well as last year. YUP!!! We ordered our Thanksgiving turkey from Bells. the only differnce is that this year we asked them to carve the turkey for us. The turkey was delivered exactly when we asked for it. And it was carved perfectly. Delish! they did it again. Great service . Excellent food. Reasonable prices.
Oh, the smell! We had to park in the next lot over because someone in that strip center was having a party; their guests had taken every single parking spot! From the second we exited our car, we could smell the fabulous smell of barbecue. We entered Bell's with great anticipation. We had eaten here once, several years ago. I thought I'd written a review but can't find it. I remember there was something strange about a big hunk of bread ... Today, clean slate. Hubby and I wanted to take food home with us. Nathifa was polite and pleasant but I had to ask her to repeat what she said, louder. So soft-spoken, I couldn't hear her initially. Hubby ordered 1/2 pound of pulled pork to go. We ordered 1/2 pound of brisket for me. I've just eaten much of the brisket and it was definitely the best part of my meal. I did add sauce to it. My one complaint with the brisket: I ordered shredded (not chopped). It was shredded but not well. There were a couple of pieces that were the size of my three center fingers! Hubby had the exact same complaint about his pulled pork. For sides, we chose the braised greens and BBQ beans. I was so looking forward to the greens which are shown on the menu board as "Collard Greens." They seriously needed some heat; a good dose of Tabasco would have helped by providing both heat and acid. Additionally, the bites of bacon were under-cooked. They should have been cooked fully so that they'd add a crunch factor. Hours later, I reheated the Collard Greens and leftover shredded brisket. I added Tabasco and lemon juice. The leftovers were much better than what I'd eaten earlier. The BBQ beans initially had a good flavor (sweet) but I found the combination of beans to be weird. There are three beans, one of which is the black bean. The black beans just didn't belong. Also, there are bits of something red; red bell pepper, maybe? It adds nothing good to the dish; it just adds to the weirdness of the beans. We ordered two slices of Texas Toast which were, of course, cold when we got home. Both slices looked good on one side but were somewhat burnt on the reverse side. This lunch was $43. This was a disappointing meal. The last two times we got food from Big B's Texas BBQ, the food was horrible. We were hoping to get a good meal from Bell's. We didn't. So the search for good barbecue continues.
nt to Bell's BBQ with my mom. The food was amazing. I got the ribs with Mac and cheese and potato salad. I personally felt like I didn't even need to put bbq sauce on the ribs because the dry rub was that good. The people working at the restaurant were also very nice. The restaurant itself was decorated pretty simply too. I would definitely go back here.
The potential is there for Bell's to be great, but the lack of attention with their food is disappointing. Our most recent experience is such a let down, and a health hazard. My chicken strips were placed into the to go container while they were so hot that plastic melted onto my food. They were overly salty, but the quality of chicken was decent. Our hush puppies were undercooked and had a raw flour taste. They were gooey. The Mac and cheese lacks any real flavor at all. I shoved some fried onions on top to try to save it. It's creamy, at least, but everything just falls short. Why put two cracker pieces on top but no seasoning? No paprika, pepper, or garlic? The cornbread tastes like a rich cake. Southern cornbread has a hint of sweetness - it's not dessert. The brisket was overly salty and heavy. There sadly wasn't one thing we liked. The desserts looked so good on the counter, but I felt hesitant to try them and I'm glad I didn't. They're a whopping $6.99 for a tiny jar of cake or pudding. I was excited to try Bell's again, because the first time I gave benefit of the doubt that I hadn't tried enough of the menu, and I was mostly just excited to have a BBQ spot in town. I saw they had boiled peanuts so we tried again and completely wasted our money. Call us picky, but we really feel Bell's can do better quality wise for the price. The one upside is that the customer service is fairly good.

Tried this place for the first time today. Great service and friendly staff. Ribs are fall off the bone. Not my favorite, I prefer the bite and pull rib but I'm giving a five star rating because of the flavor was yum. Also the sides (crispy Brussels sprouts were delicious and the banana pudding was perfect. read more

Delicious! Not one thing disappointed! Staff very attentive and they made us feel very welcome! Bbq was on point and the okra fries were to die for! Smash Potatoes was a huge hit with my daughter! And Devyn's Pickles - they should be selling jars of these! Desert was the icing on the cake! read more

Bell's is a nice addition to the Henderson area. Have wanted another BBQ joint that was quicker and more reasonably priced then Lucille's and they delivered. We ordered to go and were greeted at the register (yes order and pay first even to dine in) and much like most new restaurants they use an iPad for ordering and paying, so this is where you would be asked to tip (purely an option not complaint worthy as some previous reviewers have complained, and you can still leave a tip on the table if you prefer, wow!) The Food- My wife has the pulled pork and enjoyed it, she is not a seasoning person, so the pork was lightly smoked and seasoned, and was perfect for her. Me, it needed more seasoning. My son had pulled pork sandwich, which was a good portion of meat and worth the $9 price. I asked the cashier what I should go for since I didn't want ribs, and was recommended the brisket. Some of the better brisket I have had, good smoke flavor, nice char, not gristly, and not dry! The sides were all good, although none of them really stood out. The dessert - This was the highlight of Bells, we had the smores and caramelized banana pudding which are served in these awesome little Mason jars. Both were fantastic, wife the chocolate fanatic loved the smores, and I the not too much of a chocolate fan was left wanting more banana pudding. Bell's is worthy of another visit for the BBQ, but might see me weekly for the Jars of deliciousness! read more

I ordered food to go. Usually it's not as good once it gets home. This isn't the case with my Bell's! I had the carved brisket side of potato and mac n cheese. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. The spicy bbq sauce is great. The service was polite and executed my order perfectly. Asking all the right questions to make sure nothing was missed. The place is sparkling clean, decorated nicely with comfortable clean couches to wait and have a cold beer while your order is being packed. All in all I am completely satisfied. One regret I didn't order a sweet jar. Trust me, I won't make that mistake twice. read more

Best BBQ I've tried in the city. I ordered the beef ribs with okra fries and 3 cheese mac. Presentation of food was great and everything was delish! My fiancé ordered the pulled chicken with BBQ beans and corn on the cob. He's a very picky eater, but he loved everything he ordered and said its the best BBQ he's ever had. I'm big on customer service and I was very impressed by the employees there. We will definitely be back! read more

Of course we had another amazing meal at Bell's. The food really is the best barbecue in Vegas. The meats are great and the assortment of sides is vast and delicious, Also love the bacon cornbread waffles and the chicken and waffles are crave-able, the jarred desserts are an amazing way to finish the meal, you should always save some room! The service is also great, the gentlemen at the register is always so helpful and we have always had Twyla as our server, both are awesome and seem as if they genuinely enjoy being there and care what the diner thinks! Always have a great experience and everyone leaves full and happy. Can't wait to go back. read more

So glad to have found our new BBQ hangout. This place serves legit comfort food that reminds you of the South. I don't even know where to start as they were all good. My favorite was the grilled corn! It was so sweet and crisp but then you get the surprise of the melted cheese that gives you just the right amount of saltiness. The deep-fried okra was very good too. And the brisket - so soft and tender I didn't even need a knife to cut it! Top that with their house BBQ sauce and you're set. Make sure to leave room for dessert coz those sweet jars are not to be missed. Red Velvet was so moist and not utterly sweet. Wait and then there's also Banana pudding that will remind you of the ones from Magnolia Bakery in New York. The ambience is low key and very relaxing. It has a very nice and welcoming vibe when you enter. The staff is very friendly and attentive. It's a local business that's not a franchise so that's a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Definitely great to have a great BBQ place not to far from the house, especially one that is really good. I had the Brisket meal with BBQ Beans and Three Cheese mac, my wife and I had the same. It was very good the Brisket was very moist, it literally melts in your mouth. Both side were very good. On top of that we had there jar of cheesecake for dessert, by far one of the best desserts I have ever had. read more

Well, it wasn't all that good. Perhaps boiled ribs and I had St. Louis-style ribs. probably boiled, oven baked, no spices, and I asked for my sauce on the side so I could get that smoky charcoal flavor, but not the case. Greens were good, but mac and cheese failed in flavor for alledgely 3-cheeses. Texas toast was saturated with butter, but the flavor was on the edge of rancid grease/butter. I will try them again and perhaps other dishes, as they do have a great menu! read more

After the different reviews we decided to just try it. We had the brisket Mac and cheese and coleslaw. Brisket was tender but definitely not as strong of a smokey flavor as you might expect. Coleslaw was meh. Kind of watery and not super flavorful. Mac and cheese was tasty. Really gooey. There are three sauces. I think there could have been more difference between them but all in all they were good. Although not the best BBQ I have ever had. It's nice to finally have another BBQ option in Henderson other than Lucille's. read more
