Hick’s H&H BBQ Pit Stop

I used to L-​O-​V-​E this place. The food was great and the service was friendly. I recommended it to all of my friends who wanted some good bbq.
I have given this place, not one, not two, not three, but SIX chances. Each time I left swearing to never go there again… then I would crave their food (I ate it pretty much once a week for years since I live down the street) and I’d give them another try. .and regret it. I think this place used to be a family-​run business but they have since hired people who either don’t know or don’t care what they are doing.
First of all, the food is very hit-​or-​miss. Much more miss these days. The cornbread which used to be fluffy and moist now tastes and feels like cardboard. The sweet potatoes are never cooked all the way through. The brisket (which they have been out of the past 6 times I have been there– all at different times of the day — no joke) used to be delicious/​smoky/​have great texture but is now not only never available, but also cut thin and overall tastes/​feels like something you would buy at a grocery store deli. They used to serve kool-​aid, which i thought was kind of neat (tastes like childhood) but they have also mysteriously been out of kool-​aid the past 6 times I have gone there. Really? Big kool-​aid shortage in North America?
I have stopped by there twice during their posted business hours on the window and no one was there.
The last time I went there I arrived 30 minutes before they were about to close. I knew they wouldn’t have brisket but I figured I could grab some chicken or pork. The lady, all huffy, opens the window and says «We’re about to close». I say «Ok, well the sign says you are open for another 30 minutes.» She says «Well I can give you food but it is going to be cold, we already turned everything off.»
What the what?
I left and I will never be back. You couldn’t pay me to go back to this place, and I literally drive by it every day.

Wow! Very impressed!
The BBQ is very good with a nice smoke flavor. The rub is perfect, not too salty or spicy. The sauce was both sweet and savory. This is very good BBQ. The macaroni and cheese was a little greasy but very good.
What stood out to me was the banana pudding. I wasn’t expecting it to be really good but I was pleasantly surprised! It was very sweet and had a good texture.
Side note: Kool-​aid is a drink that you can buy on the menu. I don’t know if this is everywhere or just in Vegas but I chuckled when I saw it on the menu!

Some very good Q here! This is a perfect situation where 3.5 stars would be perfect on Unilocal!We have been here five or six times and it is always consistent, and we do return every time it is lunch time and we are over that way.

This place has fallen waaaay off. I used to love it and recommend to anyone wanted BBQ or soul food. Customer Svc is bad. 3 x in a row I had a terrible experience. 3 strikes I’m out.
1^st bad visit they had no white meat chicken, so I had to wait an hour (I called my order in, ahead…) so when I got there after an hour, they were still out!!! U would think they would put my order aside, but noooo!!! I had to wait another HOUR. I WANTED IT SO BADLY I JUST LEFT AND RETURNED. I finally got my BBQ chicken… and it was undercooked and still bleeding :-{ I think they rushed it since I have been making a fuss and waiting so long!
I called and they said to bring it back and they will replace it… well they had no more white meat so I had to come another day, while refrigerating the u done chicken, so I could bring it back to them. NIGHTMARE! and no compensation for the huge inconvenience.
2^nd bad visit… they were out of brisket. Just out? No brisket? A huge part of the everyday menu? Food for Less is in the same parking lot… can’t send anyone to purchase meat? Anyway, I want what I want and they didn’t have it, so busted trip.
3^rd bad visit in a row… came a whole different random day w my brisket craving… out of brisket AGAIN!!! I’m done!
Oh yea, and the cornbread is not sweet like I prefer.

Fulfills your every bbq desire. I didn’t walk away disappointed. I wanted to try everything even they came to central Oregon. Omg I HIGHLY RECOMMEND h&h bbq. Great service, scrumptious & amazing tasting as well. Worth every dime! I can’t wait to go back tomorrow and try something different. Good bbq made with love for sure. :-)!! I wish we had one in Oregon! They can’t leave me. Lol. Anyone walking by this place in Vegas u must try them!!! You’ll regret it if you don’t! Good prices to! :-)

Food is great. Now, they have smoked party wings! Awesome.

I love coming here. Coming from Hawaii and staying at the Boyds properties is great, but I get tired of eating buffets.
I found this place from driving around. If there is a line of people. Something must be good.
This is in north las vegas. Not the best part of town. U definitely feel a social economic change when we pass «skid row» a little past the children’s discovery center.
Back to this BBQ place. Collard greens, sweet potatoes, ribs. All yummy.
Highly recommend! I hope u enjoy also.

Meh. They’ve dropped a notch. I stopped going. I guess the nail in the coffin was the Groupon that I bought. H&H waited until AFTER you purchased to tell you that you couldn’t use it for certain things… like fish. It’s the only thing that I would eat from their menu & they tell me that I can’t use the Groupon for that? What kind of customer service is that? The bad kind.

The beef tips were not great; the corn muffin was super dry and I thought the fries were soggy and cooked more like potato wedges. Over all, I don’t think I will get these items again. I may come back to try and beef briskets.

Had the porkchops smothered plate and wow softest porkchops i have ever eaten everything tasted great. Great mac and cheese and cornbread and rice

If you happen to be strolling down Las Vegas boulevard in good olé Nortown and start to jones for some BBQ, you’re in luck. H&H BBQ is ready to fulfil your BBQ desires. Stroll up to their window to make your order and sit at their picnic table out front if you want to embrace the Nortown atmosphere. You gotta love it!!! I’ve tried these guys twice now. I’ll have to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.
This time around I got the 3 meat combo with two sides for $ 16.99. Hot links, BBQ chicken, beef brisket, mac n cheese, and potato salad with a rock solid cornbread. I like these folks. They give you really nice portions. I had a nice amount of leftovers afterwards and I was full. That’s always a good sign when testing new BBQ establishments.
Let’s start off with their BBQ sauce. Sweet but not spicy. I like eating BBQ with a little spice, although the sauce did taste delicious during my feeding. To fix that, their hot links was there to save the day. I would just eat a piece of their delicious spicy hot links after every other bite to neutralize the situation. Next is their brisket. It tasted good and tender. There wasn’t anything wrong there. No brisket was left on my plate. Now to the subject in question. The BBQ chicken seemed like it was left in the smoker a little too long. Kind of dry so I had to sauce it up a scoach. I had a lot of leftover sides and I only took one bite out of the rock solid cornbread. CRIPES!!! I should have gotten the side of delicious sweet yams that they serve instead. The winners this time around were the hot links and the beef brisket. GREAT SUCCESS!!!
In the end I had to ask myself if I would go here again… Yes I would. It’s not too far off from the work place and they give you big portions. Not stingy at all when serving the good people of Las Vegas. EYE LIKA!!!

My oh my! Can you say delicious! Can you say authentic! My husband and I ordered the half slab of ribs which were plentiful, seasoned and sauced well. The pulled pork and hot links were amazing. The mac and cheese was extra cheesy and the greens were like my grandma made it! Don’t forget the banana pudding because it made me smile from start to finish!

I was expecting it to be so much better. The ribs were actually quite tough and I would not get them again. Mac ‘n cheese and baked beans both were decent sides, but nothing too memorable. I am not sure the hot links were better than what you get at Sprouts. The sauce was the highlight of the meal. It was sweet and I would buy a bottle for my fridge if available. This wouldn’t even make my top 100 BBQ list (In fairness, I have tried a ton of BBQ joints).

The food was DELICIOUS!!!
I, too, like a couple of others mentioned, was a tad scared in that area. But, I think the food was worth the risk.

Risked my life for some BBQ last night… and my groupon was about to expire: p. Got out of my car and I could smell the smoker outside working some magic. It took about 10 min before my order was taken, since disorganization seems to be going inside… i know some of the other reviews state the ladies working here are mean, but I thought they seemed nice and polite. This place is in a slightly shady part of town… evidenced by the guy in front of me asking for his order as quick as possible since he was on house arrest and couldn’t be out for too long :(I ordered the pork ribs… and I wouldn’t order it again… dry and tough. However the bright shining star of this BBQ pit is the beef brisket. The most tender brisket I’ve ever had and smothered in a tangy, sweet BBQ sauce that has a kick at the end. I would dare say I will risk my life and come down here again just for the brisket… well maybe during daylight hours next time.

I made my first visit to the out door swap meet the past month, and I noticed this huge line of people waiting for their food at this takeout restaurant on North Las Vegas Blvd. I was curious to see why anyone would be waiting in a 108 degree for BBQ, so I went there after my stop at the swap meet.
I stopped by at 230 pm, and there was still about 5 five people in line to make their order. It wasn’t because they had slow service, but it was because of their food… was very good. I felt a little out of place at first, because I was only tanned banana colored person in line, but everyone was super cool.
H & H has two different sizes on the menu, bailout (small) and Starving (big), and has a more than enough selections to make any Southern go WOW. I ordered a Smothered Chicken with rice, and two other selections for 6.00, For my two selection, I doubled up the homemade Mac and Cheese.
When I got my takeout plate, it was pretty heavy, and went to my car. The aroma was so good that I couldn’t wait for my short trip to Henderson, so I took a bite of every part of my plate. After sampling each item, I jumped out of my car, and got another plate for dinner and breakfast (yes, it’s pretty big) For 6.00, I got three pieces of chicken that sat on a bed of the rice, and the gravy was one of the best homemade gravy I had for this recipe. As for the Mac and Cheese, it was so good and has a slight sweet taste to it, and has a little grease on top because of the amount of cheese that was mixed in, and wasn’t wiped off after it was baked. I didn’t care because it was added flavor! I’m a sucker for a good Mac and Cheese! Don’t get me wrong there a bunch of different items, and I made another visit with them a week later, and had their burnt ends… it’s wasn’t bad at all. The BBQ sauce wasn’t too sweet, but had enough spiciness to make anyone happy.
If you look at the back of the establishment, you’ll see the Big wood burning BBQ going off, and someone always checking on it.
If you’re the adventurous type, who would love great southern foods at very cheap prices… you might want to check them out. I’m giving them five stars because of price to quality ratio… it’s can’t be beat for the price in Las Vegas for this kind of food.

The food is good. That isn’t being called into question at all. What I did have a problem with was presentation and service. First off, this place is clearly marked a «pit stop,» so it’s good for those on the go. (There are a couple of tables outside on the porch that I patronized, because I prefer eating my food hot and fresh.) However, for a pit stop, the food is pretty damn expensive. I got a three item combo with two sides and a drink for $ 20. Comparable to most restaurants, and at least there I would have been sitting inside in an air conditioned environment, instead of outside in 109 degree temperature weather like a jackass.
Okay, so with that out of the way, I get my food. It’s packed into ONE styrofoam to-​go plate. All three meats and my sides smashed in there. It was a mess. Barbecue sauce leaked out all over the bag. I opened up the box and I couldn’t tell the brisket from the pulled pork. It was literally SMOTHERED with BBQ sauce, which is okay by me, but I don’t know how most people feel about that. I would have preferred a couple of syrofoam containers to give it a little more room to breathe, and I also feel like I was cheated out of quantity.
The brisket and pulled pork were good, the sauce was good, but I didn’t care too much for the fatty pork ribs (not the baby back fall off the bone variety). That’s okay… two out of three ain’t half bad. But all that sauce was making me thirsty, so I asked for a refill. She gave it to me, so that was good. I couldn’t finish the plate on one sitting, so I took the rest to go. Since I had depleted my drink again (I was sitting in 109° F sun after all), I asked for another refill. She said «one refill only» and closed the little window. I ended up driving home half an hour with a parched throat. That pissed me off, and that doesn’t seem like a good way to let your customers leave. Oh well.

Jamming out to some Bob Marley while sitting on the back of my car in the gentle heat of a North Las Vegas May afternoon. The styrofoam container on my lap had a catfish po’boy and fries in it, I was ready to enjoy life.
In a truffle’d Man n’ Cheese, high-​stakes, no-​limit, Wagyu beef, neon town, it’s wonderful to see something that’s real and wholesome. H & H BBQ Pit Stop is a small walk-​up/​drive thru BBQ joint in the parking lot of a Food-​4-​Less.
Near the window where you place your order, there are a few picnic tables to sit at, and some huge smokers coating the surrounding area in mouthwatering smoke and charcoally goodness. The people here are doing BBQ the way it should be done.
The menu features all the hits, from Ribs, rib tips, and links, to pulled pork, cat fish, and burgers. The prices are great (for $ 10) you get enough food to put you right to sleep when you get back to work.
On my most recent visit I had the Catfish po’boy and fries combo ($ 5). The catfish was golden brown and tasty, but I wish the po’boy had more on it than just catfish. It could have used some lettuce, tomato, and some type of mayo-​based sauce. The fries were salty in the best way.
I love escaping work and getting back to BBQ basics. Enjoying a nice lunch outside while listening to music is a perfect way to break up the day.

Just by walking up to this place, I was able to tell that the food here was made with love. While the orders got churned in, I was able to see a team inside doing their specialty, like clockwork. I caught myself licking my lips in a daze as I watched them handle their food.
I came up to the order window hungry. Conveniently, their large size for meat orders is called «starvin,» which fit my particular needs at the time. I was here to make an order for the family, so I made sure to order plenty:
Beef Brisket — Not as tender as I’d like, but still good. Comes smothered generously in their tangy BBQ sauce.
Rib Tips — These were also decent. They didn’t blow my mind, but they hit the spot for what I was craving for.
Fried Catfish — I’d have to say these were the highlight of my meal. Crispy, meaty, and well-​seasoned. At $ 6/​lb, I’d go here just for an order of these.
Fried Okra — The fried okra was also a hit with myself and the family.
Mac N Cheese — Better than average, but not the best I’ve ever had. Still a worthy side to order.
Altogether the meal came up to around $ 38. For the price, I was very satisfied with my feast, seeing that it generously fed 6 people to the point of bursting. I could definitely see myself coming back when I’m in the area for some local BBQ lovin’.
Note — They also offer plenty of lunch specials around the $ 5 spot, which is a very good value on some solid BBQ.

This is one of the most popular places at every local event @ downtown taste & sound of soul they had a 1+ hour long line.
The do alot of catering and their big red smoker/​cooker is a familiar site.
Their storefront is located on N Las Vegas Blvd near the Silver Nugget in the Food 4 Less Shopping center.
Best Mac n Cheese anywhere. BBQ is good & cheap $ 5 lunch specials. Great beans with links, kinda sweet though.
