The inviting interior of Big B's Texas BBQ highlighting its neo-rustic design features.
Big B’s Texas BBQ is relocating to a new site in Las Vegas, opening on July 23. This move comes as the owner plans a fundraiser to support Texas flood victims. The new location features a modern design and a menu that highlights their popular mesquite-smoked dishes. Despite construction delays, excitement is building for the grand opening scheduled for August. Big B’s commitment to both the Las Vegas community and Texas is evident as they prepare to serve their loyal customers in the new space.
Las Vegas – Big B’s Texas BBQ is set to open its new location on July 23, 2024, at 8125 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 300. The relocation from South Fort Apache Road to West Sahara Avenue is a major shift for the restaurant, which is popular for its mesquite-smoked brisket. The timing of this opening is significant as it comes amidst a tragedy in Texas, where severe flooding has devastated communities, prompting the owner to plan a fundraiser to assist flood victims.
The new restaurant spans approximately 5,500 square feet and features a neo-rustic design, complete with corrugated tin wainscoting, knotted fence-board paneling, and a neon longhorn skull. The location will also include an open floor plan and a bar, with ample parking for customers. Since the smoker was closed in May 2024 for the move, the original Henderson location has remained operational to serve loyal customers.
Although the restaurant initially planned to open in September 2024, delays in construction and permitting processes pushed the timeline back. With final inspections recently passed, excitement is building for the grand opening celebration scheduled for August. Owners Natalia Badzjo and Brian Buechner have expressed appreciation for their customers’ patience during this transition period.
The new location will offer a menu similar to that of the Henderson site, showcasing the signature offerings that have made Big B’s popular. Diners can expect a diverse selection that includes brisket, tri-tip, beef and baby back ribs, pulled pork, smoked turkey, and chicken, available in various portion sizes. The menu will also feature salads, po-boys, sandwiches, and a dozen sides such as fried okra, French fries, and barbecue beans. A selection of combination plates will cater to various tastes.
The bar will introduce new menu items including bar bites like wings, sliders, and brisket or pulled pork tacos, enhancing the dining experience for patrons. The authenticity of the restaurant’s flavors is maintained as Buechner continues to source mesquite wood from south Texas, a key component to their distinct smoke flavor.
Founded in 2016, Big B’s Texas BBQ quickly gained recognition in Henderson for its high-quality brisket and welcoming atmosphere. Over the years, the restaurant has built a devoted customer base, drawn in by its flavorful offerings and commitment to quality. The owner, Brian Buechner, has a deep emotional connection to Texas, which has significantly influenced his culinary style and business philosophy.
In late 2023, Buechner highlighted his ties to Texas and expressed concern for the region as it faced devastating floods. Reports indicate that this disaster has taken an emotional toll on many, with a death toll exceeding 100 people and entire neighborhoods submerged. In a show of solidarity and support, Buechner plans to organize a fundraiser at the new restaurant once it opens, aiming to assist those affected by the floods.
The transition of Big B’s Texas BBQ to its new location represents not only a growth opportunity for the business but also a commitment to the community, both locally in Las Vegas and back in Texas, amid a time of need. As the July opening draws closer, patrons are encouraged to stay tuned for further developments and details about the grand opening festivities.
