Was in Vegas over the weekend and decided to head over to Rub BBQ at the Rio Casino after a few hours at BassProShops. I've heard so much about the place I had to give it a whirl. Since I had ribs, pulled pork, and links the week prior for a big local BBQ, that left me with little choice other than what I really set out for.... brisket baybeee.
Sat at the bar for long enough to realize that I wasn't nearly as cute as the two chicks that the bartender was too occupied with to notice me sitting there. So I got up and decided to try my luck at a table. Walked past a woman who ordered a brisket platter and it looked lovely, better than she did :wink:
Sat down, told the hostess about my admiration for BBQ, how I've heard much about Rub, and for them to show me what they got. I sent texts to a few brothers to let them know I was there. Poobah took a little too long to respond suggesting naked burnt ends. Other brothers quickly responded showing their jealousy.
Being that I wasn't too hungry and had dinner plans, I ordered a sammich, onion straws, a local pale ale, and she allowed me to sample the beans. The brisket was yummy, possibly a 'hint' on the dry side and less smoke flavor than the beans which were loaded with smoke. BBQ sauce was a little thick for my liking, a bit much in tomato flavor, not much hoochie coochie hot in the spicy sauce.
So for $13.75 the sammich with one side fell a little short on expectations. Wish Poobah responded a little earlier - maybe I needed those ends. When I get back to Sin City Ill give it another try.
