Big B’s Texas BBQ Opens Second Location In Southwest Las Vegas
“Vegas Strong” may just be a phrase to some, but to Route 91 survivors Brian & Natalia Buechner, it’s a way of life. Today the couple celebrated the Grand Opening of their second Big B’s Texas BBQ, on Ft. Apache Rd. in Southwest Las Vegas.
Inspired by the BBQ shops that Brian Buechner grew up with, Big B’s Texas BBQ takes the traditions of Hill Country BBQ seriously, using Texas mesquite and oak wood that they personally import from the Lone State. In addition to Texan-favored beef brisket and hot links, Big B’s also smokes California-style tri-tip, and Southern style pork as well as chicken and turkey and serves a full array of classic side dishes.

“We wanted to do this right and not cut any corners,” says Brian.
Joining the original Big B’s on St. Rose Parkway in Henderson (which seats 175 in a barnlike open space), the new Big B’s on Ft. Apache Rd & I-215 seats 160 in a redesigned restaurant space featuring Texas insignias and memorabilia, offering several inviting options. The main room seats about 50 guests, including a full bar and a semi-secluded massive 20-seat picnic table hand built by Brian. The North room seats 100, with multiple screens to show sports (Texas teams, if they are playing). The outdoor covered patio seats up to 40 additional guests, weather permitting.
Texas style BBQ is considered “purist BBQ,” as the Buechners will tell you, starting with quality meats, using a simple dry rub (never brining or injecting) and smoking “low and slow” for long hours. Meats are never pre-sauced, they are carved on demand and served on butcher paper,
“Every brisket is different,” says Natalia, “and deserves its own attention.”
Big B’s will also offer special Thanksgiving Meal packages, priced at $85 (serves 4-6 ppl) and $145 (8-19 ppl) and available for pre-order from St. Rose. Call 702.260.6327 to reserve.
