Another great find. We all shared the many options of meats. Everything had a great taste. A couple of my party did point out that the meats was on cooler and not hot. The beef rib was heavy with fat and we didn’t eat it. The service was great. The BBQ pit master was friendly. Over all I loved my experience. Just hotter in temp meats would be a home run five star.

Sadly this location is closed due to a fire. Do not come here. Go to their other location. Excellent Authentic bbq, and fast service. No BS made to order, they have what they have and no grill to order. 2 meat sampler had large pulled pork portion. Tasty table side sauces. The spicy Cole saw has a kick to it. And the corn off the cob is excellent. The meat fell off the bone. Close to the Las Vegas airport. The corn comes with a smoked, salted butter. No desserts. Free drink refills. Good for game days as well. You can smell the real bbq blocks away.

Awesome BBQ!!! Brisket was delicious and juicy, pulled pork was tender and flavorful, sauces were unique and great! We had the Household of Three that had brisket, pulled pork, and hot links smashed between two buns. The loaded waffle fries, and then The Fortress. The Fortress was something that would be straight off of the Food Network Channel. It was a work of art. A rack of ribs surrounding a pot of waffle fries, pulled pork and Mac and cheese topped with some hot links. This is called the fortress because it could feed an army. Place was amazing, staff was great, the wait was nonexistent. The only SLIGHT knock was tho the ribs were delicious, they were a tiny bit dry. But not enough to complain because the sauces made up for it. Solid BBQ place you can’t miss if you’re in Vegas.

Had to try the place out after seeing it on the way to work all the time. My only regret is not trying it sooner! Cashier was friendly, atmosphere was alright, but the food was really good. I ordered the loaded Mac and cheese and the Jessie Rae Mac. The Mac and cheese was very flavorful and had a very tender flavorful brisket mixed in. The Jessie Rae Mac was loaded with meat that was very juicy and tender. Highly recommend checking them out!

Came here a couple of days ago specifically to get the Fortress, but ran out of the spare ribs. Which I get for a BBQ place, the later you come the less options you'll have. So came back for lunch a few days later AND we got to try the Fortess!!!!! A little hole I the wall BBQ place that have very limited parking & very limited seating. You might have to go around the block several times till a parking spot opens up. About 6-7 tables for the whole joint. The locals know the set up & the majority are to go orders. This place always seems to be busy. Order at the counter, fountain sodas vs cans (YES!!!) Seating available for small & medium groups. Back to the Fortress. Wow it is so impressive being delivered to the table!!! A crown of spare ribs filled the fries, mac & cheese, choice of meat and topped with a hot link & sauce. We chose the brisket as our meat. Out of all the meats me had starting with my personal most favorite was brisket, hot link then ribs. 5/5 for presentations 4/5 brisket 4/5 hot link 3/5 short ribs

???????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????? ????????????ℤ????ℕ???? ????????????????!! We ordered the maniac fries (with sausage & chicken) & a 3-meat combo (smoked chicken, brisket, & ribs). The combo was ???????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????!!! Meats were cooked to perfection & so delicious . Brisket is in a class by itself- THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD! The maniac fries are ???????? ???????????? ????????ℝ !! I just had one small problem- the chopped chicken that was on the fries had too much fat. After almost every bite, I had to spit that disgusting chicken fat out!! Our server was a very nice young lady who offered to bring me more fries but I declined because the fries tasted so good I couldn't stop eating This is the reason for 4 stars. Also, I wouldn't order the Mac n cheese as a side dish, but it was a perfect compliment to the maniac fries! Aside from that, the food deserves 10 stars!! Portions were texas-sized! Large enough to share ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. The Alabama white sauce & the #GOD sauce are AMAZING! The restaurant is very small but who cares when the food is THAT good! This will be my pay day take-out spot! When I return I will order the same thing & update my review accordingly.

Being from Texas normally I would not get BBQ in Las Vegas but I came in to get the Fortress as it is a very unique item you can't find anywhere else. First off this item is way bigger than it looks in pictures. It is a lot of food. Most photos only show the item as it looks when it first comes out, not "unpacked" when you empty the contents inside of the rack of spare ribs so I provided some pictures to show what that looks like. I was able to finish it all by myself but the waitress told me she has been working there 3 years and sells about 25 of them per day and I was the 3rd person she has ever seen that has been able to eat it all solo. She said regularly that 2 or 3 grown men will come in and order it and won't be able to finish it together. To be fair I am training for a full Ironman and had come in to eat straight off an 85 mile bike ride and 6 mile run that I had already done that day. The brisket and sausage were very good by the Texas BBQ standards I am accustomed to, and the sauces were good. The spare ribs were also good. I'd love to come back and try the Waffle Fries and Mac and Cheese standalone. Overall the Fortress was a very unique item and worth coming in. I came by on the Friday before Labor Day around 2pm, and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, but it was worth it.
