   Best barbecue since I moved to Las Vegas. Beef ribs are amazing and portions are huge. Eight of us had a birthday dinner there and each person loved their selection. Service was attentive and prompt. It is inside Sam's Town "green belt" so it is actually lovely and interesting to people watch. From the patio area, you can even watch the water show. We all agreed that we will be back.

   The beef brisket and pork ribs were overcooked and dry. In fact the brisket was too tough to eat. And why serve a piece of plain white bread with no butter on the plate. Awful disappointing won't recommend or go back.

    Sams town opens a quality, bbq place. And Sam's town does it right. We has a group of 8, one in a booster seat. Ordered a rack of ribs, two orders of shrimp, one order of pulled pork. My personal selection was the two meat combo, with brisket and hot limks, everything was excellent, even good tasting hush puppies. We got good reports about the collatd greens, the cole slaw, and mac and cheese, the baked beans. Excellent service from an very friendly, experienced waitress.

    Outstanding food, but service while very friendly, was a bit on the slow side. Not enough to take away from the overall experience, but if you are looking for a quick meal, look elsewhere. If your looking for great BBQ at reasonable prices, you've found it at The Big Mess!

    We sat on the patio where the tables have an iced beer cooler in the center. They had two great better specials, for the draft livers it was a BOGO and for bottles is was only $15 bucks for 6 beers that stayed ice cold in the built in beer cooler. We started with BBQ pork rinds and brisket fries, both were very tasty. Our entrees were widely varied in the group showing the diverse menu they offer. I had the Big Mess salad, so fresh and tasty, blackened salmon wad ordered and portion size was very generous and I was able to add some to my salad which was a nice touch. My son ordered the Big Mess burger which had pulled pork on it and he loved it. My husband ordered the catfish which was amazingly Delicious, easily the best catfish we have found in town. We will go back again as this is a great spot for food and drinks in a casual atmosphere that is great to hang out with a group of friends.

    The Big Mess has great food at low prices you would not expect in a casino. We had the BBQ chicken which comes with super yummy baked beans, a very good corn muffin and coleslaw. Delicious! It was more food than we could eat. At $30 for a great dinner for two, how can you beat it? Oh yeah, the service was great also. If you like BBQ, don't muiss this place!

    The food was bland and tasted old. Most of it we could tell was prepackaged and not fresh. The frozen foods tasted frozen. This was not good BBQ at all. All the meat was dry and flavorless. When telling the waitress she just shrugged her shoulders and said sorry and walked away. No offer to change anything or inform the kitchen staff or cook. It was slop for drunks who can't tell the difference. My family and I won't visit here again. We will just save up for the Angry Butcher which happens to be amazing in comparison.

    This was our first time there. We met friends for a casual dinner. The all-you-can-eat BBQ meal was great ($14.99). Our server, Blanca, was very friendly and helpful with menu selections. I will definitely go back to the Big Mess.

    If you like a whole bunch of bbq at reasonable prices, you can't beat the Big Mess. All you can eat before 6 PM ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken, baked beans and cole slaw for $15. The beans are really yummy. If you are old, stay near a bathroom after eating.

    Came for the all you could eat BBQ special - it was an amazing deal for some very good food. The portions were huge, the service quick and friendly, and the food was overall very Good. The ribs were great, the beef brisket was tender and tasty (some parts more tender than others), but the chicken was somewhat dry so I wouldn't ask for that again.

    Waiter had too many tables assigned, no time to check if anyone needed anything or refresh drinks, but he was nice and when had no tables but 2 was able to chat - the meal was over. Had the all you can eat bbq; corn was uncooked and old, brisket was the best, ribs dry- little to no meat, pulled pork was tough and dry-one lump, not pulled apart, chicken was way overcooked, couldn't choke down. So for $14.99 the amount of food is good value, for what was actually edible, not so much. And this massive casino restaurant serves instant Lemonade! Nasty OMG

    Everything was delicious, but a little disappointed in the brisket. It was dry and a little over seasoned. I will go back because I truly think it was a fluke.
