Thanksgiving is a holiday built on gratitude, tradition, and sharing a meal with the people we love most. While turkey and stuffing may be staples, more families are discovering a flavorful twist on the holiday: Thanksgiving BBQ in Las Vegas. At John Mull’s Meats & Road Kill Grill, we combine time-honored family recipes with world-class barbecue to help you celebrate in a way that’s both unique and delicious.
For over 70 years, John Mull’s has been a trusted name in Las Vegas for fresh meats, slow-smoked BBQ, and catering that makes holidays stress-free. This Thanksgiving, we invite you to enjoy our blend of holiday traditions and BBQ favorites that bring families together around the table.
A Las Vegas Twist on Thanksgiving
Las Vegas is a city known for bold flavors, and Thanksgiving is no exception. While some families stick to the traditional roasted turkey, others are branching out to include BBQ classics on their holiday menu. Imagine pairing smoked brisket or ribs with mashed potatoes, cornbread, and green bean casserole—it’s comfort food elevated with smoky, savory richness.
At John Mull’s, we believe in giving families choices. Whether you want a traditional centerpiece turkey, smoked ham, or a full spread of BBQ meats, our team makes it easy to customize your family meal with unforgettable flavors.
The Heart of Thanksgiving BBQ
What makes BBQ such a perfect addition to Thanksgiving? It’s the way it mirrors the spirit of the holiday itself. Both traditions are about slow preparation, patience, and savoring the moment. Just like roasting a turkey takes hours, so does smoking brisket or pork shoulder. The result is food infused with care, passion, and flavor worth gathering around.
At our Road Kill Grill, every cut is seasoned with custom spice blends and cooked low and slow for up to 16 hours. It’s that dedication to craft that makes John Mull’s BBQ one of the best in the nation and a natural fit for holiday celebrations.
Family Meals Made Easy
Planning a Thanksgiving feast can feel overwhelming—choosing recipes, shopping for ingredients, and spending hours in the kitchen. That’s where John Mull’s comes in. Our Thanksgiving BBQ in Las Vegas is available for pickup or catering, so you can serve your guests a feast without the stress.
Our catering packages include everything you need:
- Smoked Meats – Brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, and turkey.
- Homestyle Sides – Mac & cheese, potato salad, baked beans, and cornbread.

Whether you’re hosting a small family gathering or a large holiday party, our team scales to your needs. All you have to do is set the table and enjoy the company of your loved ones.
Honoring Holiday Traditions
At John Mull’s, we know how important holiday traditions are. For some, that means serving the same family recipes every year. For others, it’s about trying something new while still gathering together.
Many of our longtime customers tell us they’ve started a new tradition: picking up smoked turkey or brisket from our market to complement their home-cooked favorites. It’s the perfect way to blend the old with the new—keeping Grandma’s stuffing recipe alive while introducing BBQ ribs or pulled pork sliders to the mix.
