Wild Fig BBQ Takeout & Catering

The Best Dishes Eater Las Vegas Ate This Month, July 2025 | Eater Vegas

A pair of wooden signs and a single yellow flag mark the otherwise easy-to-miss Sun City Summerlin joint, but the line out the door — mostly men who clearly knew their way around a smoker — told me I was in the right place. Long whispered about since its start as a catering company in 2017, the restaurant now serves from a modest storefront with a few shaded picnic tables outside and is largely a takeout operation. Like many, I brought my haul home — smoked turkey, brisket, spare ribs, poblano sausage, pastrami, and a spread of house-made sides — and every bite conjured sun-soaked afternoons and wood smoke. The pastrami stood out: smoky, peppery, and meltingly tender, house-brined, cured, and made from full brisket, it’s one of the best I’ve had not just in Las Vegas, but anywhere in Nevada. Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, the honey mustard added a final punch that had me reaching for another bite and already planning my next visit. - Janna Karel
