If you’re searching for the best BBQ in Las Vegas, look no further than John Mull’s Road Kill Grill. Tucked away just off the beaten path, we’re a local legend, known for our slow-cooked meats, bold flavors, and award-winning customer service. Whether you’re a long-time local or a first-time visitor, you’ll find no shortage of unforgettable dishes on our menu.
In this guide, we’re diving into five must-try BBQ classics that put us on the map—each one crafted with care, smoked low and slow, and served with love. Come hungry and leave happy, because these dishes are more than just meals—they’re a true taste of Las Vegas barbecue done right.
1. Smoked Brisket: A Slow-Cooked Classic
When it comes to authentic BBQ, smoked brisket is king—and ours reigns supreme. At John Mull’s, we smoke our brisket low and slow for over 16 hours, allowing the fat to render perfectly and the flavors to develop that deep, rich, smoky profile BBQ lovers crave.
Each slice is melt-in-your-mouth tender, with that classic bark on the outside and juicy, beefy flavor throughout. We finish it off with a drizzle of our signature house-made BBQ sauce, giving you that perfect balance of savory, smoky, and sweet in every bite.
Pro Tip: Pair your brisket with mac & cheese or baked beans for the ultimate comfort food combo.
2. Pulled Pork Sandwich: Southern Comfort on a Bun
Craving something handheld and hearty? Our pulled pork sandwich hits the spot every time. We start with premium pork shoulder, slow-smoked for hours until it’s fall-apart tender. After that, we hand-shred it, pile it high on a warm toasted bun, and top it off with our tangy and slightly sweet BBQ sauce.
It’s a crowd favorite for a reason—especially when paired with crispy fries, coleslaw, or cornbread.
This dish is perfect for lunch on the go or a casual sit-down meal under our shaded picnic tables.
Why it’s unforgettable: The pulled pork is flavorful, juicy, and satisfying with just the right amount of smoke and spice.
3. St. Louis-Style Ribs: Tender, Meaty, and Finger-Licking Good
No BBQ menu is complete without ribs—and ours are some of the best you’ll find anywhere. Our St. Louis-style ribs are trimmed to perfection and smoked until they’re fall-off-the-bone tender. Each rib is brushed with our signature sauce and caramelized just right for that sticky, flavorful finish.
Unlike baby back ribs, St. Louis-style ribs are meatier and more uniform in shape, making them ideal for serious rib lovers who want a hearty portion and maximum flavor in every bite.
Perfect for sharing—or not. We won’t judge if you keep them all to yourself.
4. Smoked Sausage: A Spicy, Savory BBQ Staple
If you love bold flavor, don’t miss our smoked sausage. Made with a proprietary blend of seasonings and slow-smoked in-house, this BBQ staple is packed with savory spice and rich, smoky goodness. It’s crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and absolutely delicious with a side of potato salad or coleslaw.
Served sliced or whole, our sausage is great as a main dish or as a flavorful add-on to any BBQ plate.
Why it stands out: The seasoning blend is handcrafted by our team, and the slow-cooking method brings out deep layers of flavor that leave you wanting more.
5. BBQ Chicken: Marinated, Smoked, and Served with Love
Last—but certainly not least—is our BBQ chicken, a juicy and flavorful favorite that’s perfect for anyone who loves traditional Southern barbecue. We marinate our chicken in a house blend of spices, then smoke it until the meat is tender and the skin is perfectly crisped.
Whether you prefer white or dark meat, each bite is infused with smoky flavor and served with a side of our award-winning sauce.
This dish is a great lighter option for BBQ fans who still want that rich, satisfying flavor without the heaviness of brisket or ribs.
Perfect for: Family dinners, picky eaters, and anyone who just loves good chicken done right.
