SOUL D LICIOUS-BBQ & SOUL
BERTHA'S BAR-B-Q -GREAT BRISKET
TOP NOTCH HAD THE BEST SIDE DISH-SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
GREAT RIBS TOO


KANG'Z Q
BEST OF EVERYTHING-SMOKES BBQ-GREAT SAUCE-GREAT SIDES-POTATO SALAD, BEANS WITH SWEET MEATBALLS
I VOTED FOR THESE GUYS

COOKIE'S HAD THE BEST RIB-FALL OFF THE BONE TENDER-CHICKEN STUFFING WAS GREAT TOO
H&H HAD GREAT MAC N CHEESE & BEANS WITH LINK IN IT. THE RIB WAS SMALL AND SAUCE TOO SWEET FOR ME.
PIT BOSS BBQ HOOKED IT UP A FULL MEAL FOR EVERYONE-RIBS,POTATOES, AND 2 CASSEROLES.
JAN'S BAR-B-Q WAS A NO-SHOW & I DIDN'T SEE A BOOTH FOR MIX ZONES CAFE THAI CUISINE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE LISTED IN THE PROGRAM.



IT WAS JUST $10 FOR SOME GREAT BBQ & TO HELP A GOOD CAUSE-SOUTHERN NEVADA CHILDREN FIRST.
LOTS OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP. AT LEAST FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD IT WAS THE A FIRST TIME EVENT AND NOT ALOT OF PROMOTION.
I NOTICED ALL THE COMPETITORS WERE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD-3 OR 4 OF THEM HAVE RESTAURANTS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THERE WERE 12-16 BOOTHES ABOUT 8 BBQ AND 8 VARIETY/SPECIALTY ITEM/SERVICES AND SPECIAL GUEST -Rekaya Gibson, Author ,SHE WAS SIGNING HER LATEST BOOK-Food Temptress .Plus special guest judge-Chef Jeff from the Chef Jeff Project.
I HAD A GREAT TIME AND ENJOYED SOME GREAT BBQ AND MEET SOME FRIENDLY BARBECUE ENTHUSIASTS.
I HOPE THIS GETS BIGGER AND BRINGS IN SOME OF THE OTHER BIG NAME BBQ RESTAURANTEURS OUTSIDE OF N LAS VEGAS.
I'D LIKE TO SEE BUZZ BBQ, LONGHORN,BUCKINGHAMS AND SOME OTHER LOCAL SPOTS GET INVOLVED AND MOVE IT OUTDOORS SO WE CAN SEE THEM COOKING UP THE BBQ AND HAVE SOME SHADED SEATING PLUS A LITTLE MUSIC.

  1. Thank you "Off the Strip" for posting this positive review about the 1st Annual BBQ Battle and Fundraiser to benefit Southern Nevada Children First. The event far superseded our expectations for a first year competition. We were excited to have Chef Jeff from the Food Network show up as one of our judges, this only one of the highlights of the entire event. We look forward to doing it Bigger and Better in the many years to come!

    On behalf of Southern Nevada Children First...Thanks again!

  2. Yes! Thank you "Off the Strip" for such a positive review of Southern Nevada Children First, 1st annual BBQ Battle. I agree, next year I hope to see the participation increase from more of our larger restaurants. Southern Nevada Children First would like to say thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting the organizations efforts to bring awareness around the issue and raise money to continue to support homeless pregnant and parenting teens. We anticipate next year’s event and hope to see all of you again next year!

  3. It was a Great Event! The food was delicious and the atomosphere was lively. Everyone seemed to show great support for the cause and had a good time doing it. I hope to see a much larger event next year.
