We did the 3 meat two sides brisket, ribs, and hot links.... they were out of rib tips but sides we did the bacon potato salad which was not a hit at all and collard greens. They were hot but lack flavor but not terrible. We started to give a 3 because the hot links were bomb and brisket was decent. We uped to four because customer service was great and we changes the potato salad to the corn nuggets. I would probably try the pulled pork next time. The nuggets were pretty good??.

BBQ is sometimes a hit-or-miss for me as it can either be salty and dry or savory and juicy but I have a hard time finding a combination of either together. Steve's Pig Pikins BBQ however does it differently as you will see. With their massive portions of juicy meats and savory chili and their flavors layered and jam packed with the right seasonings in every bite.My wife and I were out shopping in the North West corner of Charleston and Rainbow near the Home Depot shopping center when we stumbled across the words BBQ in bold black and white lettering. We've been use to places like Famous Dave's and Dickies BBQ Pit, so we kinds figured that's what we were going to get into. But, to our surprise, it was far better than we could image. The moment you walk in, the smell of meat roasting on a fire filled with wood carefully picked to enhance the smokey flavor of their meat hits your nostrils in an aroma than would make any lumberjack burly man want to rent a space there.The staff was very friendly and accommodating as we revealed that it was our first time and was very helpful and courteous to walk us through their menu. Steve's Pig Pikins BBQ menu is obviously centered around pork but there was several other dishes to choose from. I decided to try the "Rea" and described with the following;"Hot links, pulled chicken, pepper jack & American cheese, onion trio, jalapeños and whiskey BBQ beans."Now, I enjoy my spice, but not over flavor. My wife decided on the Pulled Pork Sandwich (pictured below), a classic BBQ staple. The prices were a bit on the pricier side and we didn't know if this was due to the current inflation situation or the cost of meat in general, but we have seen this trend happening everywhere. However, the price was well worth it with the portion and the flavor. All of it felt just right when it was brought over to our table.The restaurant atmosphere was fun, inviting and clean for the most part. Wet wipes were available, utensils and soft drink fountain was easily accessible. And the flare was fun to find and look at to spark a conversation about anything. It took us about 15 to 20 minutes to finish the entire meal. Since I am diabetic, I decided not to eat the bun but I can tell you, the bite that I did have, was soft and delicious. BBQ squeeze bottles were on every table for both the delicious regular BBQ sauce and the spicier version next to it with clear markings as to which was which.Overall, I think Steve's Pig Pikins BBQ is a spot for everyone when you are hankering some large portions, delicious pork meat and just some good ol' tasty BBQ.

The food was good the ribs were meaty and tender, bbq sauce was delicious. The potato salad was the best.

My first time here. I honestly don't know why I waited so long! I had the brisket and pulled pork. You have to try the sugar pickles!! It wasn't at all what I expected, reminds me of pickled cucumbers my grandma used to make. Next time I should try the spicy sauce.

The pickles, sweet tea, spicy bbq sauce and brisket sandwich were all very tasty

Food was good, but the service is what set them apart. They weren’t just friendly, but genuinely enthusiastic and helpful and made some great recommendations that really contributed to the experience.

This place is awesome. The brisket is phenomenal and my wife loved the pulled pork. Also, the owner, Steve, was there with his family and actually stopped by our table to chat with us during our meal. Awesome food, awesome service, just a great place. (I ordered the dump truck and I was definitely worth the price)

Phenomenal BBQ joint. I can only suffice that anyone who didn’t give this place 5 stars likes Cali BBQ, weak smoke, no char, and wants their bbq to fall apart all over the place. This is real BBQ. Very similar to Southern BBQ. Great flavor, you don’t even need their fantastic sauces. If you want to taste some actual BBQ in Vegas that isn’t Peking Duck…. This is where it’s at. A+

I love this place! The food is great. However, I went today and received literally 4 thinly sliced pieces of brisket with my entree leaving me completely unsatisfied. I think for the prices paid more meat should be served with it. I don’t know if I will be back after my plate today.

Outstanding place, awesome people, fantastic food!!! 5⭐
