It was a smoke show of a competition!
This past month, 96.3 KKLZ was on a quest to find the best, most-scrumptious and delectable BBQ in all of Las Vegas. To help with this conquest, the crew at KKLZ organized the Blazin' BBQ Bracket. The competition started with 32 other BBQ restaurants, and all of them were amazing in their own way.
The competition was tough and -- at times -- became hot with glazing passion. But, there could only be one winner who reigned supreme. At the end, Wild Fig BBQ took the crown!
The people of Las Vegas voted Wild Fig BBQ as the best BBQ place in Sin City, making them the ultimate grill masters.
Located at 9555 Del Webb Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89134, Wild Fig is a hidden gem. The quaint little smokehouse is perfectly tucked away in the corner of Del Webb and Lake Mead Boulevards. But, the hidden nature of the restaurant is the perfect juxtaposition to the exploding flavor that this restaurant provides.
When you enter the restaurant, you're greeted with warm hospitality from the entire staff. And to combat the boiling Vegas heat, the Wild Fig family gives you a cup of cantaloupe agua fresca that instantly cools you down.
The staff at Wild Fig vibrates with passion for good-quality BBQ. The brisket is smoked so perfectly that a beautifully seasoned bark forms around the tender meat creating a complex and tasty flavor.
The poblano chili & cheese sausage explode with flavor, a blend of spice and is created with their famous brisket.
Not to mention, Wild Fig has daily specials that are bucket-list items such as: pork belly fried rice -- that isn't your run-of-the-mill fried rice -- a dandan burger; which is tallow-fried brisket patties topped with cheddar cheese and dandan sauce, pork belly banh mis and even brisket melts.
Wild Fig BBQ is the perfect matrimony of traditional Texas style BBQ with a peppering of Asian-inspired flavors and much more.
Congratulations to Wild Fig BBQ for this deserving prize of being the best BBQ in Las Vegas!

John Mull's Meats & Road Kill Grill
If you're looking for some great BBQ, you're gonna have to travel away from the Vegas Strip, but is well worth it! Road Kill Grill may confuse you. When you go there, you'll find yourself in a residential area. Why? Because the owners basically converted a home into a BBQ joint. When the city realized how popular the place was, they allowed it to continue operation. Don't let it fool you though, the BBQ is amazing! It has locals even driving the distance to eat it on the regular!
Jessi Raes BBQ
This place is amazing! The owner, Mike and his wife have been at this for a while, starting off with a small location and taking their BBQ pit trailer to locations to serve up some great BBQ! And the God Sauce is to die for! Now they have two locations and serving up some amazing BBQ for Southern Nevada! They even have a dish called "The Fortress" which a rack of ribs surrounding Mac N' Cheese, Cross Cut Fries, and more! Named after the Arena The Golden Knights play at!
Ellis Island Barbecue
Don't let the environment fool you! Yes, it's a Casino and hang out, but they also serve up some amazing BBQ! And the best part is the area and environment you get to enjoy it in. If you're wanting to watch sports and grind on some great BBQ, don't skip out on Ellis Island Barbecue!
Rick's Rollin Smoke BBQ
Yes, it's that Rick from the show "Pawn Stars". Not only is he slinging items he buys from people in his pawn shop, he's also slinging some great BBQ! From traditional BBQ items and sides, to off the menu goodness, you got to try it out!
Emerald Island Casino
It may not say BBQ in their name, but they serve up some amazing BBQ at an amazing price! On Wednesday, you can enjoy their awesome BBQ at the restaurant! But make sure to get there early because the locals know that it's served from 4pm-10pm only, so it gets busy!
