BBQ, burgers, and that dangerous smoky smell that makes a responsible lunch plan fall apart in about eight seconds.
Editor’s Opinion
Fox Smokehouse BBQ earns the burger-guide nod through the Smokehouse Burger, but the broader opinion is simple: this is the downtown BBQ lane. If the smoky smell gets you from the sidewalk, accept what happened and order accordingly.

Why it makes the short list
When the group is tired of pizza and burgers, Fox is the answer: real smoked BBQ downtown, close enough to Hoover Dam that “local BBQ after the dam” becomes the whole plan.
Local quick take
If the smell gets you from the sidewalk, just accept what happened. You were not stronger than smoked meat today.
Good for
- BBQ lunch or dinner downtown
- Visitors who want a local meal after Hoover Dam
