Big B's Texas BBQ re-opened its second location just prior to August 2025, and on Sunday evening the Restaurant at 8125 West Sahara Avenue showed again why any discussion of local smoked Meat has began and ended with Brian and Natalia's brand since 2016.
Named after its Pit Master, and changing the long-held belief that Las Vegas is not a Barbeque town ever since the original opened in Henderson, Big B's Texas BBQ features the work of Brian Buechner and Natalia Badzjo, the husband and wife team taking a hands-on approach to every aspect of the operation from build-out to driving in fresh piles of wood as needed from the Lone Star State.
Always working with a great crew while doing brisk business for dine-in and take-out, guests entering location number two will immediately notice Brian's handy work in wood tables and chairs flanking a full bar, the relic of many prior occupants benefited by a liquor license in addition to Beer, Soft Drinks and freshly brewed Tea.
Texas through-and-through in terms of décor, the bustling main room offering a full view of the kitchen while Brian and Natalia installed a full-bar in the Restaurant's right half, big screen televisions are visible from every seat so guests can take in action from their favorite team on benches or from rounded booths.
Ready to greet fans new and old it was on individual trays that Meats, Breads and Sides arrived quickly, the housemade Cornbread particularly soft when warm and delicious whether plain or slathered with Butter while Mac & Cheese continues to impress guests of all ages.
Next letting Meats take center stage, but not before Hand-cut Fries or Onion Rings, Big B's Brisket follows Texas protocol with little more than smoke and a bit of seasoning while Ribs also shine as a slight pull of the teeth easily liberates supple Muscle from Bone.
Not forgetting the Brisket Burger with two Patties, moist Brisket, Cheese and Onion Rings on a fluffy yet supportive Bun, one would be hard-pressed to name a better bargain at $16.99 even before adding a pair of complimentary Sides.
