RESTAURANT REVIEW: SMOKIN T’S BBQ & BAR (LAS VEGAS)
I’m not sure what happened. This spot near the corner of Flamingo and Fort Apache used to be a Dickey’s barbecue joint. But it was renamed recently and many changes were made. However, the decor inside is much the same as before (there’s Oakland Raiders photos all over walls). So, I’m not sure what’s going on other than the old saying “just win, baby” remains a laughably bad joke on the fans. [Note: See updated info below]
I wasn’t a big fan of the old Dickey’s at this location, but the barbecue was always serviceable. Nothing fancy, but a good lunch spot. Decent value for the money. That was then. This is now.
