    Fox Smokehouse BBQ is located in Boulder City (about 45 minutes from North Las Vegas). I thought this place was a safe bet because they currently have an impressive 4.5 star average on Yelp. I also note that most BBQ restaurants that I've been to are also inconsistent. A BBQ restaurant is the very hardest of all restaurants to run because it tastes many hours to prepare the meats and then after the meats are smoked then they have to figure out on how to store the meats and keep them hot for hours to serve. Anyways we've hit Fox Smokehouse on a bad day. When you walk in on one side is a bar area and on the other side is a dining area with a salad bar (but no bbq meats and mostly just ham and lunch meat turkey). The hostess also does the take out service and might be running food out into parking lot before she seats you. It looks like a regular BBQ Place inside. It's not fancy. It's decorated with lots of PIGS. I was expecting some Fox decorations but I could only find PIG things. They even have PIG decorations in the ladies rest room. They also have some BBQ awards on display. They don't have the two meat combo options like most places so you have to either get a sandwich, or a platter with a half pound of meat on it. Sides are additional. I tried the bbq turkey breast with a small macaroni and cheese and a small corn. (for most people this is large enough for two and then some). I must give them credit for amazing flavors on the turkey but it was a little dry today. The corn also had very good flavor to it. But they can win a prize for maybe The WORST macaroni and cheese on the planet. EEEEEEEEEK if was awful. This macaroni and cheese could only have been created by a toddler. It was like mushy pasta mixed with something like Velveeta with BIG LUMPS of real cheese that didn't melt in and BIG LUMPS OF BURNT CHEESE. BLECH! My husband unfortunately tried a Pulled Pork Platter. The poor pig died in vain. They served pulled pork that was SO DRY THAT YOU COULD USE IT AS DENTAL FLOSS. (boy was he mad that I suggested this place on our day trip to Boulder City) I cannot recommend Fox Smokehouse BBQ.

    Stopped in on a day trip from Arizona and we were craving Bbq. We were seated immediately and our waitress was attentive and asking us what we wanted to drink right away . I ordered brisket tacos with mac and cheese on the side and hubby ordered pulled pork sandwich, and a side of okra. He loved the okra and said his pulled pork sandwich was good but a little bit on the dry side. My tacos were fantastic but I did not care much for the mac and cheese. It was so mushy . We need to come back and try other options !

    Fox Smokehouse is on a corner street. There is about 10-15 parking spots around the building, and the rest is street parking. There might have been additional parking, but I didn't see it immediately. They have a pub area and a dining area--separated by a thoroughfare. We arrived at around 12:55pm on a Saturday and were seated within 5-7 minutes. The dining room was pretty full except for 3-4 open tables. The vibe is somewhere between an upscale dive bar meets tavern lodge. I liked it a lot. We ordered drinks and my usual is an iced tea, however, it tasted like water. Super disappointed for a bbq place, but moving on to what matters most....the food. They have everything you could think of to meat plates with sides, all types of burgers and sandwiches, salads, deserts, wings, and a kids menu. The meat plates and sides are à la carte. There didn't appear to be a go-to variety plate with everything included, so just be aware of the individual prices if that's a concern. Each of the à la carte plates come with your chosen meat/protein (1/2 lb) and you can choose à la carte your sides and à la carte bread options (corn bread, Texas toast, biscuits). I ordered the brisket with okra and the cowboy mash up which is half macaroni & cheese and half beans, and a side of cornbread. The sides were a bit small (4oz, approximately), but it was really good. The okra was crisp and not greasy. The server recommended ranch and a fry sauce to go on top and it was delicious. The cowboy mashup was okay; the macaroni & cheese was flavorful, but the beans were just "ehhh". I'm not sure what I was expecting. The brisket......Ahhhhhhhhh--mazing. It was moist and flavorful and you don't even need but to pull it gently from your fork and it just comes off. Sooo good. I highly recommend the brisket, hands down. I couldn't finish everything so to-go boxes were given and they also gave smaller containers for the sides and any bbq sauce you might want to take for your food, as well.

    3.5 I have always loved American BBQ. I'm very particular about what I enjoy and expect about BBQ: Pro's: Excellent service. BBQ chicken marinade was good. Coleslaw fresh. Cowboy beans EXCELLENT. Con's: All the food arrived lukewarm. The collard greens and chicken too were lukewarm when they should have been hot. That really spoiled the overall experience. Lukewarm chicken does not appeal to me. Flavour-wise was on point. Understand that the pitmaster can't be at the grill all the time, but lukewarm collard greens too were disappointing because they were not hot - and it's usually one of my favourite vegetables in the South. I purchased their chicken seasoning because I loved the blend. The food overall is good, but I prefer food that is served hot. My personal preference. Pricing was fair.

    Finally got a chance to eat in instead of take out. I can honestly tell you eating in is much preferred over takeout any day. When you can get fresh brisket over takeout which is not ate immediately when served is not the way to go. This is the best brisket I've had so far in southern nevada. The brisket was fork tender and very juicy and moist with great flavour. I will definitely go out of my way to come here for brisket until I can find somewhere else in las vegas for great brisket, so fat this is by far the best I have had other than what I've had in richardson texas and that's a long drive or long plane flight away.

    Went on St Paddies and they graciously made is a table for 11. Excellent food and great service. St Louis Ribs, Mac & cheese and collards were terrific.

    It's a very solid bbq joint for sure. I loved the "burn ends"!!!! It's flavorful and tender. Get it!!! We also got St Louis baby back rib and brisket. The rib is good but I thought it's a bit on the sweet side which I think it's overkill. For meats, of you chill out well, you didn't need to drown your meat in sweet sauce. The brisket is kind of average. For the collard greens as a side, it's not bad but it needs more fat to cook it. The restaurant is rustic full with country charm, a fun place to be. I'll definitely come back for the burn ends. One thing to now is that everything is on the salty side. Just be mindful of it.

    Swung by around 7:30pm on a Wed on our way into town from the Grand Canyon. Modern smokehouse decor on the interior. Seated promptly and staff were all very friendly. The Prime Rib BOGO weekly special really blew me away! Food came out quickly and they didn't skimp on the cuts either! All the food tasted great! Would definitely come here again.

    Probably the best BBQ I've had in the Las Vegas area. Funny things is, this place is actually in Boulder City! I've been here multiple times for lunch and dinner. And while it's a little busier during dinner time it's never too busy which is surprising since the food is so good. The staff is always nice and helpful. Haven't had a bad server once. There's ample seating as well as a bar area with more seating and high top tables. The beer is cold and they have a full bar. But the main thing you have to try is the barbecue. The brisket is amazing. And they're baked potatoes are to die for. This is the first restaurant in Boulder City to receive 5 stars from me and I feel it's well deserved

    Amazing place to have some amazing smoked bbq! The brisket is a must have and corn bread was on point! Sweet tea was also refreshing and delicious. Definitely would come back to this place. And most importantly, the staff being amazing was the cherry on top! :)

    Is our dog allowed to sit with us on the patio?

    Hi Amanda, unfortunately we do not and our patio is closed at this time. Only service dogs on a leash and must be kept under the table.

    Do they take reservations? or can I just walk in?

    Just walk in - they'll ask you "restaurant or bar" for sitting . Usually not too busy unless it's… Read more

    Are the prices good?

    I found myself up in Boulder City this week for some onsite work at a local project site and stayed…read moreat the Best Western in the downtown district. As many who have been to Boulder City know, they roll up the sidewalks pretty early at night and although it's a delightful town, there's only a short list of things to do once the sun goes down. That said, after a 12 hour workday in the desert heat, the things I could count on was the quick walk, cheap drinks and the friendly conversations that can be found at Maxx's bar. I've been here a couple times now this week already, but tonight I stopped by after 12 hours in the sun, a Panda Bowl and a shower to grab a few drinks. As I walked down the street I could hear loud music playing and figured they just had the speakers up more than usual, but as I walked up I noticed a singer on the patio. He was singing some classics from my days, but with a raegae twist and it was quite pleasant to hear and see, especially alongside the crowd having fun outside. I really appreciate the fact that they have live music on Wednesdays. I walked in and parked my awkward butt on a barstool and was welcomed in by Kristen. She asked me what I'd like and she quickly served me my order. It felt nice being an outsider in the community, but still feeling welcomed and I was fortunate to be able to share a casual conversation with Kristen. Throughout the evening, she was very attentive and kept the beverages flowing while also tending to patrons both inside as well as on the patio enjoying the live music. This is obviously a bar with quite a few regulars, but that's what I love about bars back home and it made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed watching some game highlights on TV and took the time to catch up on emails and texts from earlier in the day. All around, this is a fantastic bar to stop by whether you're passing through or staying in town for a few days. As someone who appreciates consistency and routine, I definitely hope to be back soon and enjoy another relaxing evening at Maxx's. Two thumbs up for Kristen and the Maxx's team!

    The food was good, the drinks were excellent, and the staff is exceptional. Super cute little place…read morethat is clearly a local favorite. Because one of the regulars made a point to loudly express his opinion that "all women are batshit crazy" and there is a Trump sign prominently displayed on the wall, I quickly understood that I am not welcome here.
