What People Are Saying About Memphis Championship Barbecue

In Short – Ranked several times as the World Champion of the Memphis International BBQ Cook-Off, Mike Mills has brought his legendary family recipes and Southern congeniality to Vegas. Entrees run the gamut, from green garden salads and charbroiled shrimp to world-famous chicken, pork and beef, all smoked and spiced. Meals come complete with a choice of two side dishes: the vinegar-based coleslaw, baked beans and sweet potatoes sprinkled with cinnamon.

The best

by scottlv

Eaten there for years now, never had bad food. A couple of times the service has been slow, but usually it is top notch. We have used them for catering and group functions, and were always happy. My favorite is the King sandwich with extra cole slaw.

  • Pros: Way good barbecue
  • Cons: service can be slow when busy
1 Star Rating: Poor

Beware the hype!

by mjdominguez

I have tried this place and the other locations over the years and I have yet to have a good piece of barbeque at any of their locations in Vegas. I recently had a good meal at Buzz and great barbeque at TC's Rib Crib. I read that Memphis was the real deal because they had a smoker. So I gave it one more try and what I got was-dry-thin-slightly warm meat and this was their "porterhouse of ribs". Never again! The ribs at TC's were juicy, meaty, and with plenty of flavor. Beware the hype!

  • Pros: Service was prompt and friendly
  • Cons: dry overcooked meat

Honest to goodness BBQ exceptionally well done.

by jayrayinnv

By far the best BBQ in Las Vegas and some of the best on the planet. The pulled pork and the ribs are beyond compare. The baked beans are the best I've ever tasted. Not Texas or KC style - it's dry rub Q slow smoked. The desserts are a little weak (although pecan pie is good), but by the time you get to dessert you're too full to even contemplate them. Nobody ever walks out of this place hungry.

Fried pickles are good and crisp as well as unique. The pork is the star here, however. Ribs, pulled, pork steak, whatever, the pork is the way to go. The other stuff is good, but if you don't have ribs or pulled pork you'll kick yourself.

  • Pros: Ribs and pulled pork. Baked beans.
  • Cons: none

The Details on Memphis Championship Barbecue

The Extras:

It's a family recipe: the meat is slowly smoked in a hickory pit, seasoned with "Magic Dust" (made from 18 different spices) and a splash of a succulent sauce so secret that not even the chef is privy to all of the ingredients.
