Jessie Rae's BBQ

Food was amazing. Period. Towards the end of the night the meat options become limited, but that didn’t even matter. Pulled Pork and hot links were delicious on top of the waffle fries. Brisket was delicious with tater tots. Meat melted in your mouth, and don’t sleep on the sauce varieties. Excellent flavor and good kick. Highly recommend. Service was excellent, we actually had an employee remove a couple who sat at a larger table, so I could sit with my family. Very generous of them, and I truly appreciated it.

I recently visited Jessie Rae's BBQ and I have to say, the service was fantastic. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, I was a bit disappointed with the meat as it was somewhat dry. The flavor was good, but the texture left something to be desired. Despite this, the sides were tasty and the portion sizes were generous. Overall, I would recommend giving Jessie Rae's BBQ a try for the great service, but be aware that the meat may not be as juicy as expected.

Best of Vegas!? More like worst outside Las Vegas. It wasn't bad enough that half the brisket was sludge, but it tasted like stewed meat. The bbq sauce was oddly translucent and sweet (not honey flavored), so they probably used corn syrup to dilute. By far, the worst I've ever had. Probably why their Vegas location closed down. I should've stuck to Big B's.

Amazing food, outstanding service, Makayla was a great host and checked up made sure everything went well! Grandma living here over 10 years and didn’t know of this place! I always tell people !!! Hidden gem!!!

This is my favorite BBQ when visiting Las Vegas.... Used to go to the one near the Strip... But it burned down. So, we made the trek out to Henderson. Worth it. Excellent value, great flavor. Friendly staff Yum!

First time visiting, we ate in for lunch on a Monday around 2 pm. It was not busy, customer service was good, friendly staff. The brisket was some of the best I've had in Vegas, the tenderness, smoke ring and char were all perfect. They asked if I wanted fatty or lean pieces, which was very appreciated. The spare ribs were really good, a little lean on the meat but worth it. The red vinegar slaw was tart and spicy, very good. Every one enjoyed the waffle fries. My friend got a Caramel stout, very sweet and filling and expensive. Ample parking, very clean establishment.

Got the fortress. Wasn’t imagining this much food. Delicious through and through. HIGHLIGHTS Fallen Angel sauce was amazing! Will be returning. Thanks Jessie crew.

This is my second time at the new location (40 min drive) and this is the first time in 7+ years that I've ever been served bad tasting meat. We've been wanting to try the crown (ribs wrapped in a circle, more so for the novelty of it and something different than our usual Belt Buckle order. It was served with ribs flat, so already a let down. We said oh well and started eating, but the ribs were so tough, we couldn't cut it with the provided knife. We couldn't keep trying to eat the ribs so we ordered a large Belt Buckle. One of the girls is very friendly and nice, she apologized we didn't like the first order, The brisket on the Belt Buckle either too salty or over-seasoned. This was not a good visit. I always hype up Jessie Rae's since they were in Cactus Jack's on Maryland and also their Valley View location. Yesterday was a surprise and I hope they're not changing their recipes. I used to enjoy talking to the owner's grandma at the old location when she used to help out and she'd show me cute grandbaby pictures. It made the place feel more like a comfort food place. Not sure I'll be back for a while. Last 2 meals did not leave a great memory.

Somebody gave me a Door Dash gift card $50. I used it to order lunch for myself from Jessie Rae's BBQ Henderson. Having never tried it before, I was excited. This is the only place around here with good BBQ. I was very impressed. Most BBQ in Nevada isn't worth the wood it was smoked over. Jessie Rae's was legitimate, great-tasting BBQ. It was nice to have some local BBQ that didn't leave me wanting BBQ from my hometown in Virginia. Virginia is a BBQ state. In Henderson and looking for great BBQ food at a reasonable price? Come here, you'll love it.

Let me start off by saying the staff was great ! Super friendly, joked with us, checked in on us and overall nice. The place was clean, a little hot inside, but hey this is Vegas. We got the Jive chicken - two generous boneless chicken thighs. The meat to bread ratio was proportional. It was juicy not dry, but the flavor was ok. Sauce is subjective, for me it missed the mark. I got the waffle fries, which were plentiful - but they do not have any ketchup. They have a sauce they say is their version "fry sauce" and it was nothing like fry sauce - it was straight up BBQ sauce. The Rib sandwich was not proportionate- if was one small flat set of ribs and a big bun. Also there was a good amount of cartilage left in ribs you had to get through. My husband tried my chicken sandwich and said they both tasted exactly the same. Unfortunately, we would not be returning.

Before we start with the review: a word to the wise. be warned that many older guests will be staring at you if you are a person of color. That's not the business's fault. Order to go if you can. Service was courteous and made me feel safe. Food was solid. Definitely worthy of being a top bbq spot in Vegas. I had the brisket and it was tender and juicy. The pulled pork was good as well. I recommend the god sauce and fallen angel (spicy). Mac and cheese was good and the fries are amazing. I was underwhelmed by the corn and smoked butter. We were pleasantly surprised by the luscious batter. We had the smores. So smooth. All in all, we would be back. But only if we are already in Henderson. This is a place to go if you were at cowabunga bay for the day and have a big appetite.

OK, so here's another great place you must go to to the food is amazing. The service is just as amazing. The vibe is also amazing. I was craving BBQ and trying to find a place semi clothes if not close to my house is hard and I was being lazy. I didn't want to cook and I wanted barbecue so I came over here to Jesse RAY's it was a little out-of-the-way, but I was OK with it and the food made up for it, but I did realize while I was there that if you have a craving for something try not to go before a holiday or something because even though the place is very popular they do run out but they have awesome back ups that are just as good if not better going to Jesse Rea was great and for the amount of food did you get the prices are great go and check them out. I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Legit. That's it, that's the word I'm using. This place is LEGIT when it comes to great BBQ. Here's what we had: The Full Slab - More than one person can eat. Usually i can lay waste to a full rack and this slab kicked my butt. 12 bone rack and HUGE!!! Very meaty, cooked great, and no need for sauce. Nachos! -The meat and toppings were great but the chips are the real star here. House made and very flavorful. 2 people could easily share this dish. The Household of 3 - Now this is just a ridiculous sandwich and anyone that tries to eat it without a fork has issues. Sausage was amazing, pulled pork was delicious, and the brisket was solid. The sweet slaw on the bottom really tied the room together, if you know what I mean. This isn't every day dining. It's great BBQ and it is expensive BBQ (if you ever see cheap BBQ, RUN!!!!) But being a visitor, we will definitely make it out here on each trip to Sin City. The drive away from the strip is worth it.

I was driving in the area and saw this place that I had been wanting to try for a while. I ordered a 3 meat condo with brisket, ribs and hot links. My favorite were the ribs they had a good flavor a bit over cooked but really good. I ordered moist brisket, and expected it to be sliced. When it can it was chopped and I also noticed they charged me an extra $1.50??? I guess for the moist??they never mentioned this to me but I saw it on the receipt. The brisket was good but like I said I like sliced brisket to see how good it is. The hot links came with 2 links which were very nice. The had a good flavor and spice. For my side I ordered the cole slaw I think it was Virginia style and it was vinegar bases and delicious. Overall a solid bbq experience. I will be back again with the family.

Service was great! Very nice people and clean. Food was stellar!! You want some reaaaaal BBQ, like mama's house. Come over here . Definitely coming back!

I honestly don't think I had enough BBQ to leave a great review. I've only tried a handful of places and also as some of you may know, I don't eat pork so my review would be "eh". With that said, I'll highlight my experience there! My husband and I have been trying to explore around our neighborhood and this spot was one of the top places in our "to try" list. We visited the establishment on a Friday night around 6PM? The store was a bit empty; guessing the dinner rush starts later. Of course we did some research before got there so we already knew we wanted to order the "FORTRESS"-- full rack of standing baby back ribs and inside it there are waffle fries, mac n cheese topped with brisket. It sounds intense, I know, because it looked borderline intimidating when we got it. The staff were very friendly and checked on us often. Everything is kind of self-serve besides the food coming to your table. I wish the fallen angel sauce was spicier ... HAHA but this is just my very personal opinion. It said made with the world's hottest pepper so I expected my stomach to burn a hole but it wasn't spicy at all so it can be enjoyed by everyone. The vinegar sauce was AMAZING it complimented the bbq so well, I used the vinegar sauce more than anything. We will totally come back... but I still have leftovers in the fridge. HAHAH

The local Las Vegas bbq is soo tasty and good! Yo can't go wrong I've been here 3 times in the past two months! Brisket, sausage, ribs, bbq tasty ribs smoked to perfection! Try it you won't deny it! The sides are ok, corn and cole slaw or potato salad- they don't really live up to the amazing main dish so you can definitely skip imho. Size is great for single for a few days or family party. The sauces are delish esp the spicy one! I think I need to pay another visit soon writing this review is making me hungry!

Well, I tell you what, this is the second time I've ordered from Jesse Ray's and it just blows my mind how good it is. I had the ribs, pulled pork, brisket, mac & cheese, tater tots, and baked beans and everything was just top-notch. I lived in Texas for 17 years so I know what good barbecue is and this place Just really does a fantastic job. Can't say enough good things oh and by the way, the young lady working the cash register was so friendly and professional and helpful.

I recently visited Jessie Rae's BBQ and I have to say, the service was fantastic. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, I was a bit disappointed with the meat as it was somewhat dry. The flavor was good, but the texture left something to be desired. Despite this, the sides were tasty and the portion sizes were generous. Overall, I would recommend giving Jessie Rae's BBQ a try for the great service, but be aware that the meat may not be as juicy as expected.

This review is long over due. Wow! The food here was so good! I live in north Las Vegas so I had a pretty long drive to get here but it was worth it. The restaurant has plenty of parking and seating inside and the lady who took my order was nice and very helpful. The brisket was my favorite!!! My kids enjoyed the Mac and cheese and my grandma said the ribs were amazing! I definitely recommend Jessie Rae's to anyone who comes to town and wants BBQ.

Finally got a chance to try Jessie Rae's after hearing so much buzz about them for years. I'll just dig right in... my husband and I got a regular sized order of the Maniac fries with pulled pork & a 1/2 pound of lean cut brisket to share. We were so worried that the regular maniac fries wouldn't be enough and we should've gone with a large, but nope - the regular size was A LOT! And we were super hungry after a 4 mile hike in Lake Mead. Not only was the portion a good size, but it was all so delicious and a great way to try multiple things all in one dish! Their waffle fries were cooked to perfection with a nice seasoning, the mac n cheese was so creamy, the pulled pork was flavorful & moist, and the hot links were not too hot. The extra side of brisket we got was also decent, although I will say we like the brisket at Rollin' Smoke a little bit more. Jessie Rae's brisket wasn't quite as tender or juicy as we would've liked. The restaurant itself was typical casual BBQ joint with self service soda machine and fun "Country" kind of décor. It was nice & clean too, including the 2 gender neutral restrooms. I won't say it's out of this world, gotta have it, amazing, but it was pretty darn good and we'd definitely come back whenever we're craving some BBQ after hiking.

Food was fresh and quick, hospitality was through the roof. I wish I lived in this area to be able to eat more options here because the meat and the fries were terrific. They even had some free games to play Will be back if I'm in the neighborhood!

We were welcomed by the friendly staff as soon as we walked inside. They have three video monitors with the menu as well as regular menus. I ordered the two meats meal (pulled pork and spare ribs) Mac and cheese for my side and lemonade. The pulled pork was moist but a little fatty and the spare ribs were tender. My spouse had the household of three sandwich (pulled pork, brisket, and hot link) all yum with crispy waffle fries and sweet tea! They have many sauces to choose from and to go boxes available. It was pricey but good!

At long last... I have gotten off my butt and gone to the newest location of the best BBQ in town. Jessie Rae's BBQ is a local institution which I have eaten and loved ever since the early days in the pub on Maryland by Cactus, which was technically also Henderson. Several visits to their Valley View restaurant, which has a lot less parking and currently is a fire damage casualty, allowed me to appreciate pretty much all of their proteins, sides, and of course sauces. Today was their one-year anniversary for this outpost, which they took over from the former Tucky's BBQ. It's near the corner of Boulder Highway and Lake Mead, so look for the Omelet House or McDonald's and steer yourself a little south. For the occasion, the owners offered a 50% off discount after 2pm. Now you know why I finally couldn't resist. They were sadly out of ribs by the time I arrived in the evening, so I'll just have to come back in the future for my favorite of their proteins. Instead, I ordered a pair of three meat, one side combos (usually $23.50) with one chopped brisket each (+$1.99) as well as some pulled pork, chicken, and hot links. Since they had an exclusion on fried items for the deal, I went with Vegas slaw and BBQ baked beans for my respective sides. Then I took them to-go, but not before pouring myself several short containers full of their stable of sauces (pro tip: dine-in means you can just use squeeze bottles of every sauce at your convenience). The meats are all tender and not dry on their own without the sauces, and they even have enough flavor on their own aside from perhaps the pulled pork. The fatty brisket is smoky and rich, the chicken does have sauce as well as a great spice blend, and the hot links are juicy and do have a kick. The pulled pork is perhaps the least flavorful on its own, but aside from falling apart from the smoking, that makes it the perfect canvas for painting with their sauces. The sauces start and could possibly end with my favorite BBQ sauce ever, the God Sauce. It's sweet, tangy, and works with everything. The Fallen Angel is similar but spicier, the Carolina Vinegar Style Sauce is a less viscous and more acidic dressing that works well with pork, and the Slammin' Bamma (sic) is their take on Alabama white sauce which I'll also eat with any protein. Finally, the newer Divine Dip is described as "the only fry sauce you'll ever need" but tastes fine to me with meat. It's also creamy but looks a lot redder than typical fry sauce, and I think it has more character. I know the various fried sides are consistently delicious when I do order them, but I'll keep this section to the sides which I did order. The Vegas slaw is creamy but not vinegar, and it's a really refreshing respite if you're using Fallen Angel. The BBQ baked beans has meat and actually just eats fine on its own. It's pretty sweet though, so it balances well with the smoke of the fatty brisket. Jessie Rae's is the same; it's just that the list of other local BBQ places that aren't as completely satisfying has grown. Come to Jessie Rae's if you eat meat and don't have a problem with saucing your meat. After having less-than experiences all over town, I'll have to stop taking Jessie Rae's in my own backyard for granted.

We were craving BBQ and decided to try this place I had bookmarked way back when. We were stuck in rut of going to AYCE Korean BBQ. Our usual go to spot for BBQ in LV is Rollin Smoke mostly because I have not found anything better and I like the Burnt Ends and their Sauces (even though the last couple of visits have been disappointing). I saw a lot of great reviews by Yelpers and we had to give this place a try. We stopped by on a Monday (MLK) afternoon and it was not busy at all. We shared a Double Brisket Sandwich and the Jessie Rae Sandwich with Tater Tors and BBQ Beans. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the 8oz Double Brisket sandwich which had both fatty and lean brisket. It was a two fisted event where I had to take my half of the sandwich with my left hand use my right hand to squeeze the different sauces on my sandwich to try. I liked the God Sauce and the Carolina Vinegar but together it was even better a little sweet and a little tang. The Jessie Rae was also good and I like they added BBQ potato chips for even more crunch than just the Slaw. The Tater Tots were crispy and were not overly seasoned. The BBQ beans were not too sweet. I can't say this place is any better than my favorite BBQ joints but it's now part of my BBQ repertoire in LV. I really wanted to try their Beef Ribs but that's only on Thursday and Sundays. They also have desserts by Luscious Batter which I enjoyed. The Daddy Issues was so boozy it kinda caught me by surprise. i'll be back soon for their Beef Ribs! My favorite place for Beef Ribs is at Phil's BBQ in San Diego but has been totally disappointing past several visits so I'm looking for a new spot for Beef Ribs.

I was going to the location on South Valley View for years , so sad it burnt down and it was about 2 miles or so from my house. I went to a friends retirement party the other day in Henderson and I left a few minutes early just to come here and pick up some of my favorite bbq in town before you closed . I've never been to this location and when they had the Yelp event , I didn't get to come. I got my favorite go to , to go , the House of 3 Sandwich , ( Brisket , Pulled Pork , and a Hot Link. ) The brisket this time was better than the last time I had it , it was spot on ! I'm a big pulled pork guy and you guys know how to make it right. The hot link was cook just right with that little snap of the skin. It was so good to have my favorite bbq sandwich again. I like to use a little of different sauces for different things. You have to use the Carolina Vinegar Sauce for the pulled pork , I'm from South Carolina. The brisket is good with no sauce and a little dip in the God Sauce sometimes. The hot link is the God Sauce. Of course they have the Alabama White Sauce which is good too , Fallen Angel Hot Sauce and a Mustard Sauce. All are good and you should try each one on different meats to see which ones you like paired together. I didn't get any sides this time , but I usually like to get the Smoked Mashed Potatoes. They are really good , I just wish the container was a little bigger. Also , the one negative is they forgot to put slaw on my sandwich. I forgive you though. I know it was a few minutes before closing and they were probably in a rush. Next time though I will check for my slaw. Anyway , I wish you much success in your new location and hopefully one day you will open back a westside location so I don't have to drive across town for some of my favorite bbq. I have a YouTube short of your old location on my channel , Tips From A Bellman , and I need to do one of this location sometime.

Jessie Rae's has some great Vegas BBQ. I enjoyed both the meat and the sides. This location has plenty of parking and a dining room for dine in if you prefer. I ordered my food for takeout and it wasn't a long wait to get my food. I went with the High Roller Combo for 2 which included two meats, two small sides, and a roll. I went with Pulled Pork and Brisket. Both meats were smoky and tender. I'd order them again. I added extra rolls, but won't do that again because one is definitely enough for two people to share. They are basic rolls which is fine, it reminded me of the no frills white bread that is traditional to Texas style BBQ. I added extra sides so we had Waffle Fries, Corn, Baked Beans, and Mac & Cheese. The Waffle Fries had a nice seasoning and were not a soggy mess even though I ordered takeout. The rest of the sides were good enough to order again, but nothing I'd rave about. The bbq sauces were good. I've had Jessie Rae's on my list to try for years and I'm glad I finally gave them a try. I'll definitely keep them in mind when I'm in the area.

I wish I had a bigger stomach to eat more here. There is zero anything wrong with anything at the place. I had about a quarter of the sandwich and not even a half of the fries and I wasn't his fry again for 5 hours. For me, its hard to find reallllllllll good bbq out here. There good bbq and then there is reallllllllll good bbq. For the later combo to Jessie Rae's. From the sauces to the fresh cooked daily meats you will not be disappointed. Juicy where it should be and crunchy when you want it to be. They said they run out of ribs and brisket (which again tells you it a realllllllll bbq joint) so if you want those come earlier. The staff loves the food so they make it fun to order and the restaurant is clean and open seating. A big party might be tough to sit together - but don't let that stop you - just sit separately if needed - you wil be too beat eating to talk anyway lol

Good food and great service !! Bbq is fall off the bone delicious :) Waitress alway nice and helpful

Yes, we finally got to experience the amazing BBQ at Jessie Rae's. We went for lunch and it was delicious. First, let me say in my eyes, when I see firemen eating at an establishment. I know it's gotta be good. I was right again. They have a brisket whiz sandwich that came on a hoagie roll with cheez whiz and onions (if you wanted them). 4 of us ordered that. The brisket was so tender and had amazing flavor. My only wish I I would've liked the onions to be grilled and a little smaller. It came with a side, I opted for Mac and cheese. The flavor was super good, although it was drowning in oil/butter. The coleslaw was delicious, as well. On the table, there were 4 different sauces. We loved the God sauce. My niece got the pulled pork sandwich which came on a round roll and coleslaw on the Sammy. She said it was delicious! My son had the hot link sandwich and he loved it. They have a bunch of tables, but I'm sure when it's busy it's hard to find one. I forgot to take pictures- but will next time because we'll definitely be back!!

Amazing BBQ! Location is great; easy to get in get out. Tv playing in the background but you won't pay much attention to it while you're eating. The service is good; everyone is so nice and agreeable. I ordered the household 3 sandwich which ended up being a meal for at least two! The portions are worthy or BBQ and the taste is amazing!! Every bite you take will bring you a little bit of joy. Go eat here!!

Great service great food. Made my order through yelp food was hot and ready the God Sauce is to die for and the sweaty pig so glad your in Henderson!

Love love some Jessie Rae's! People talk about that rolling place but I would choose Jessie's a million times over. Tried the dessert for the first time. Haven't tired it yet as stuffed from the other stuff. We ordered to go and staff we encountered was friendly as always. Sundays they play the football games. Which the days we go are Sundays and Thursdays. This is when they offer beef ribs. Gotta go early because they sell out. So happy they are here in our side of town in Henderson.

[Above All, Will I come back to this place?] Yes, if my guests out of states want to try southern foods or friends want to go. On my own? When I am really hungry for meat, for sure! :) Finally visited the infamous BBQ Area in Vegas! - Foods I had pork spare ribs and pulled pork, both of them were a bit drier side (not super dry), not juicy and moist side either. It was just average as BBQ places compared to out of Vegas ones but it was a big portion so had leftover to go. I liked the taste of the spices and all different kind of 5 sauces (my favorite was the spiciest one!). Loved the Red Colesalw which has a spicy kick to it. - Service Service was excellent! The cashier was a waistaff as well, she brought the foods and other stuff when we needed (water, etc.) Friendly and on point. - Price Price was about $70 something for 2 main meat meals with 2 side dishes and 2 breads with 2 beers, not cheap for a mom and pop restaurnt but hey we live in a inflation era. - Ambience There were a lot of tables inside the restaurant with low ceilings, a typical regular BBQ joint with a countryside type of decor, it feels like you are on a road trip in southern USA. Althout we had a dog so sat at a table outside next to the parking lot. I wish the benches had a parasole but the sun was a bit brutal that day. - Bathroom The singular gender-neutral bathrooms were clean and well maintained. - Location The location is in the kind of not safe area at night time I think.

Whatever you do, walk, run or drive to this place! The food is amazing and the staff is more than accommodating. The lean brisket is to do for. Do yourself a favor and put this place on your rotation. You can thank me later!

Saw you guys on channel 5 this morning. Thought I'd come check you guys out order my food ribs and chicken brought at home. Didn't have the right order. I live pretty far away. I was very disappointed. Well I go back. That's questionable. I was pretty hungry very disappointing when I got home and then not have the right order, you guys can definitely improve on the right order specially when it's the first time they come in.

Food was amazing!!! The women in the front were really sweet & the food was some of the best barbecue I had in the Midwest!!! We had rib tips, barbecue chicken, brisket, mac cheese, beans and smoke house butter corn. We didn't leave any crumbs.. It was so good I didn't even get a chance to take pictures!!! I definitely will be returning!!!

This is some GOOD BBQ!! Their meats are moist, not dried out at all. They have flavor without the bbq sauce. Their sandwiches are very good size. I tried the pork bbq sandwich and it was delicious! I will be getting it again! They offer two different types of slaw. The regular slaw and their Red Slaw. The red slaw has a spicy sauce. It was just ok. But their regular slaw was very good. Their BBQ Beans are very good! I definitely recommend those.

BBQ itself is good, but is not the best in the world. They price it fairly though, so you won't be paying a fortune for 1 lb of meat. This place also offers interesting bbq combinations (not purely meat), such as bbq on top of mac n cheese, and stuff like that, making it super fun! Service is great, the workers are very kind and patient. The restaurant has nice decor as well, with a feel like you're in the midwest. It was just a little warm inside the restaurant, but maybe that's just my problem. Overall, good place for some good bbq, that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Ok. the most important thing about this review is that I have given tons of 5 star reviews on yelp and am tempted to go back and drop 65 percent of them to a 4. I haven't been around the US eating bbq from famous regions but I can't imagine how they could be much better than this. We had brisket, beef ribs , chicken and baked beans and coleslaw. Everything was amazing. All of the sauces were awesome. The food didn't need sauce but I tried them all anyway. Been 20 minutes and I don't feel bad at all. Famous D's by the mall that is now something else would make me sick in minutes. Bonus you pay first and have to go stuff for leftovers easily accessible. You can eat and get out no waiting.

It's good BBQ. It's pricey, but it's good BBQ. So consider that when you are shocked by the prices. The service was great, so that helps as well. The chopped pork is a little fatty- so beware. But the Brisket was awesome. They have a small eat-in area which was quaint and clean. Overall, it's worth a try!

Friendly staff, quick service and the brisket and Mac & cheese were amazing. The only downfall of this place is it's location. Whenever I'm in the area, I'll for sure stop in for a bite.

Starting out, we live in Boulder City and love Fox's BBQ. But heard good things about Jessie Ray's. First off the staff was cold to the point of being almost rude. After getting our food, I walk up to the order desk to ask about extra dressing for my cabbage salad. Was ignored for a good 3 or 4 minutes. (We were there at 3 pm on a Saturday and there were 8 other people besides our 5; not a crowded place). Then the person at the cash register said " it's on your table". Looked all over; no salad dressing. Oh, apparently it's called pigs breath. Then visited the restroom. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Filthy floor, and toilet and the sink fixtures were corroded! Do they ever get visited by the health department? Food was decent, but we will never visit the restaurant again!

Videos of this place kept popping up on my TikTok feed, so I took it as a sign. We ordered a large Maniac Fries with brisket, and let me tell you it's something special. A base of waffle fries, creamy mac and cheese, hot links and amazing brisket. We drove that plate home like it was a new born baby leaving the hospital. The moment we got home 3 of us tore into that plate and barely made a dent. After several feeding sessions we finally polished it off. Huge portion and the food quality is the real deal. As for the staff, everyone was cool and helpful with the menu. The restaurant was clean, not the best location (lots of failed businesses in the past) but I have a good feeling about this place. I believe if you provide quality food, good prices, and great service, you'll thrive anywhere. Thank you for the delicious food! 10/10

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Great & fast service too! We drive from Summerlin just to stuff our face with the best damn BBQ in the Vegas valley! All sauces are gluten free too! Way to go Jessie Rae!

I was looking forward to some great, no wait, award winning BBQ. I chose the pulled pork sandwich, waffle fries and a beverage, for around $18. The portion of waffle fries was average, but the star should be the BBQ. Well it was a bit cold and there wasn't much sauce on it. Now you do get to add your own from their in house sauces, but these were average at best as well. Even the bun was meh. Come to think of it, the experience was average, certainly not award winning. Thankfully this place is out of the way, so I don't think I will be checking it out again anytime soon.

What a find! $20 got me this massive combo plate -- two hot links, a half pound of succulent lean brisket, and slaw. Nice folks too!

I stopped by with sister and her fam to check this Jessie Rae's for her Birthday grindage. Baby sis digs BBQ and Jessie Rae's did their thing! Jessie Rae's building used to be the only Pizza Hut in Henderson when I was a kid. Walking through brought back teenage memories. The building is dated but Jessie Rae's renovated and kept the dining area clear and clean. I appreciate the vintage 1980's complimentary arcade game for the customers The staff was very friendly wish assisting us with the menu Jive Chicken Loaded Vegas with macaroni and cheese - This awesome combo of their chicken, mac and cheese and their sauce comes served in a tray ready to eat. Creative and very flavorful. Maniac Fries - Served with Hot links and we went with the pulled pork with ours. The waffle fries were the perfect pair if you ask me. Chicken Sandwich - A great choice for the smaller appetite, complete with all the flavor from the bigger dishes. To my BBQ peeps, definitely give Jessie Rae's a visit. I'm a casual BBQ fan and I had a blast getting full here. Cheers!

I had previously experienced Jessie Rae's BBQ in Big Bear, California at a beer and bbq festival and really enjoyed it. They informed us they were located in Las Vegas, but we never made it over. When I heard they were coming to Henderson, I knew I could finally try it. Food The smell of smoked meats permeates the air of the restaurant. I decided to go with The Belt Buckle, which is brisket on top of your choice of waffle fries, tater tots, Mac n cheese, or mashed potatoes. I went with the Mac. I tried their god sauce and fallen Angel sauce, favoring the fallen Angel. 5/5 Ambience Jessie Rae's occupies a space of a precious BBQ place in Henderson, so they fit into the spot. The smells, decor, and old school video games provide a nice family feel. It provides something that old Henderson is currently missing. 4/5 Service There were only two people working when I arrived with a room full of people. They did a good job acknowledging me and providing immediate service as well as receiving my good quickly. 5/5 I was very impressed with my first experience with Jessie Rae's. I brought leftovers home and my wife felt the same way. I will be back in the future for sure!

Pros: Delicious, juicy, savory, meaty, tasty, friendly staff, delicious (yes twice). Cons: If you have a large group, seating might be an issue. I am honestly reaching here for a con. Details: We had been to the Jessie Rae's location that was on Maryland years ago before it closed, but this was our first time at this location. Note: They have another location on Valley View. Anyway, the important thing to know about is the BBQ and sides. It is all delicious. I am a huge fan of the hot links; they might be the best in town. Another favorite of mine is the BBQ mash potatoes. They have loaded options (waffle fries, tots, mac&cheese, mash), sandwiches, or just meat. Nice selection of sides as well. They have some really good sauces too; I combined them. Normal sized dining room and we found a table right away, but I could see a challenge for a large group. They also cater, so I am hoping to have a reason to do that soon and it would work well for large group situations. Seriously, some of the best BBQ in town!

This BBQ spot has the most delicious bbq ribs I've ever had, the gentleman was polite and came by the table to make sure we didn't need anything . The homemade bbq sauce was too die for.. nothing else like it . Would definitely recommend this place

FOOD The Jive Chicken***** loaded with smoked moist pulled chicken over BBQ mashed potatoes. You have a choice of that or over waffle fries, tator tots, or Mac & cheese Burnt Tips Brisket***** well seasoned and falls a part because it's so moist. Tasty and definitely would order again. SERVICE***** like visiting family. Patient and friendly AMBIANCE** it's ok. Just know you're going for some good bbq. I'm really giving it 2 stars bcuz the restroom was absolutely horrible. I used the gender neutral restroom (which is great) on the left. Need to replace toilets and clean it up a bit. So DON'T USE and beware. 17/25 ='68% 3 stars

Where do I even start? We have been to this location twice, and to the Valley View location once. Jessie Rae's has never really failed us, but the last time we went was just incredible. Fall off the bone ribs, flavorful chicken and brisket, and the waffle fries.. the glorious waffle fries. *chefs kiss* Service is always great too! Definitely a must try if you're in the area.

Excellent pork ribs they were especially delicious; very lean & meaty! My husband usually likes baby, but he really loved these because they were so lean and meaty! I love tater tots, they can't screw them up unless they burn em ha. The baked beans are fabulous and the pulled pork is out of this world.

Popped in for quick dinner before a telephone meeting. Ordered "Maniac Fries" with pulled pork to take back to the hotel. OMG, that was the tastiest feast of BBQ I've had in years; Hot links and pulled pork over waffle fries and Mac and Cheese...off the charts good. The nice lady was a sweet as they come and they had me ready to go with my carry-out order in no more than two minutes. Best 4,000 calories I've wolfed down in a long time. I'm no disappointed I have to leave in the morning, wanting another shot at this great place.

AMAZING Food and service, although it is a little farther than I'd like, it's definitely worth the drive. I ordered the brisket mac n cheese loaded fries, 10/10 did not disappoint, the flavors melt in your mouth. The brisket was soft and flavorful, everything about this place is amazing including the sauces that are provided on tables.

Jessie Rae's catered our teacher of the week appreciation food. I had been wanting to try them. Not the best BBQ I've had. It's hard to eat BBQ out when you've had your own BBQ food truck & restaurant. The pulled port meat was a bit dry, the chicken was very sweet along with the sauces were too sweet. I did enjoy the sides of potatoes and coleslaw. I don't think I will try them again.

The bbq was amazing. The service was great. Friendly staff. Super loud here at lunch time, but what do you expect when the food is this good.
