At John Mull’s Meats & Road Kill Grill, we’re all about BBQ traditions—but we also know how to keep things fresh. That’s why our seasonal specials are designed to bring you bold new flavors, fresh ingredients, and the best barbecue techniques of each season. Whether you’re a local regular or a visiting foodie in Las Vegas, you’ll find something new to savor each time the seasons change.
Why Seasonal Specials Matter
Barbecue is an art that changes with the seasons. Fresh produce, seasonal spices, and customer favorites inspire us to craft new items that complement the weather, holidays, and mood of the moment. From smoked lamb in spring to prime rib in winter, there’s always something special sizzling on our smoker.
Spring BBQ Specials
As Las Vegas shakes off the winter chill, we welcome spring with vibrant, herbaceous flavors and lighter fare that still deliver the smoky satisfaction you expect from John Mull’s.
1. Smoked Lamb Chops
Spring is lamb season, and we make the most of it with smoked lamb chops marinated in rosemary, garlic, and lemon. These chops are smoked low and slow, then finished on the grill for a crispy crust and melt-in-your-mouth center.
- Why You’ll Love It: Herbaceous, tender, and a great change-up from the usual pork and beef.
- Perfect Pairing: Garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.
2. Grilled Asparagus
One of our best BBQ sides, this fresh seasonal vegetable is lightly tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper before hitting the grill.
- Why It Works: A crunchy, green counterpoint to rich smoked meats.
- Pro Tip: Add a squeeze of lemon or parmesan for extra zing.
Summer BBQ Specials
Summer in Vegas is all about fire, fruit, and food that fuels your fun. These dishes bring a fresh twist to BBQ classics.
1. Peach-Glazed Ribs
Fresh peach-glazed ribs are sweet, smoky, and perfectly balanced with a touch of heat. We use a house-made glaze with ripe peaches, honey, and chipotle.
- Why You’ll Love It: It’s BBQ with a fruity twist that’s perfect for poolside feasts or family cookouts.
- Fan Favorite: Often sells out, so come early!
2. BBQ Chicken Salad
Looking for something on the lighter side? Our BBQ chicken salad is stacked with grilled chicken, romaine, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and a house-made BBQ vinaigrette.
- Great For: Lunch on a hot day, low-carb eaters, or anyone craving BBQ without the meat sweats.
Fall BBQ Specials
When the desert air cools down, we bring in warm spices and heartier meats that celebrate the season of comfort food.
1. Smoked Turkey Legs
Our smoked turkey legs are the stuff of legends. Brined for 24 hours, seasoned with autumnal herbs, and smoked until golden, they’re perfect for fans of hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meals.
- Seasonal Favorite: Especially popular around Thanksgiving.
- Serving Tip: Add cornbread and spiced apple slaw.
2. Pumpkin-Spiced BBQ Sauce
Yes, you read that right. Our pumpkin-spiced BBQ sauce takes cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and combines them with classic barbecue base ingredients for a rich, unexpected flavor.
- Tastes Great On: Ribs, pulled pork, or even a smoked chicken sandwich.
- Pro Tip: Try it as a dipping sauce for sweet potato fries.
Winter BBQ Specials
In the colder months, we go big. Bold flavors, big portions, and dishes that warm you from the inside out are what winter BBQ is all about at John Mull’s.
1. Smoked Prime Rib
Our smoked prime rib is a holiday hero. Rubbed with rosemary, garlic, and peppercorns, then smoked for hours, it’s juicy, tender, and unforgettable.
- When to Order: Available Fridays and Saturdays in winter or during holiday weeks.
- Best Served With: Au jus and our classic creamy horseradish sauce.
2. Cranberry BBQ Meatballs
Festive, flavorful, and a crowd-pleaser, these cranberry BBQ meatballs are made from a blend of beef and pork, simmered in a house-made cranberry BBQ glaze.
- Perfect For: Holiday parties, gift baskets, or just because.
- Available As: A side, entrée, or appetizer platter.
