buzz bbq.


Meat for meat, Buzz BBQ is my pick for best in Vegas. The brisket is maybe the best I've ever tasted, rich and meaty and smoked forever. Pulled pork, andouille sausage and the pork spareribs are all phenomenal. And the spicy sauce they serve on the side for you to drown your meats in, if you like, is the perfect complement. Slow Smokin' is the tagline at this northwest Vegas restaurant, and they mean it, hickory cooking the shit out of everything. The chicken is pretty special, too, with skin blackened from the thick smoke and tender, juicy meat spilling out.

Buzz is a restaurant that doesn't pay much attention to its side dishes, which is unfortunate but nothing near a deal killer. See, you're going to be piling so much meat in your face, you're not going to want any mac 'n cheese or potato salad anyway. A fine and balanced restaurant it ain't, but I have yet to find a local barbecue pit that can hang with these meats.

Buzz BBQ originally opened in a small spot on West Ann Road that used to be a tiny coffee and dessert shop. It has since moved to a 120-mouth building a few blocks south, on Craig Road just off U.S. Highway 95, and adequately renovated what used to be a bland neighborhood Italian restaurant. The place is now comfy, kinda quiet, splashed with some flatscreens so you can watch the game, and essentially the perfect place for a family dinner. It's also the perfect place to order a bunch of takeout and pass it off as your own next time you want to host a barbecue. Go ahead. Impress your friends.
