Mabel’s BBQ is a full service bbq restaurant by multi award winning, James Beard award winning and celebrity chef Michael Symon. This restaurant is located in the Palms Hotel/Casino that is a short distance from the Las Vegas strip in Nevada. They serve multiple styles of bbq, sides, salads, sandwiches and chef Symon’s Cleveland Style pork items.
It’s sort of country-barn like inside with lots of wood and interesting fixtures. It’s not too fancy but it very open with some bright neon on the wall that reads “EAT MEAT” with glass and a view of meat slicers behind it.
They suggested building a platter with two meats and sides so we did. In moments they bring out assorted house sauces and house rub.
In a short amount of time our platter arrives.
We get 8 oz Texas Style Brisket, 8 oz Turkey Breast with Memphis Style dry rub, horse radish beets, macaroni and cheese, house pickles and house kraut.
WOW the pickles are DY-NO-MITE! They are like bread and butters but better…with more flavor and spice. Love the pickled peppers and kraut too! The turkey has a great bbq flavor but is a little dry. Brisket today is also a bit dry…….and lacks bbq flavor today. The beets are really good….They seem like they are very fresh and have a nice fresh texture and natural sweetness embellished with sharp horseradish. The macaroni and cheese today is ….not real cheesy tasting……but the tiny baby sized elbows are a good texture. I think the sauce might have been thinned down because it’s like milk in the bottom of the cup. Tasted most of the sauces on the table and I thought they were good. I only used them on the brisket and the macaroni and cheese. The turkey had a really good flavor and I found I lost the delicious flavors when I tried sauces on the turkey.
BBQ places are rarely consistent. it’s next to impossible to have just done bbq meat just done all day long. Just 2 hours later the meats will be either 2 hours older or you might get lucky and get a fresh batch.
Worth a try!
That was my trip to Mabel’s BBQ in Las Vegas NV.
