SMKD BBQ | Henderson | Nevada

In a city known for celebrity chefs and Strip-side dining rooms, locals know the real gems live in the neighborhoods. That’s exactly where you’ll find SMKD in Henderson — a barbecue destination built on smoke, flavor, and genuine community connection.

While visitors chase reservations on the Las Vegas Strip, Henderson residents head straight to SMKD. Why? Because it delivers bold, fire-driven barbecue, ice-cold local brews, and the kind of hospitality that feels personal. If you’re searching for the best BBQ in Henderson, you just found it.


🍖 Big Smoke. Bold Flavor. No Shortcuts.

At the heart of SMKD is Chef Alex Reznik, who brings serious craft to every cut of meat. Rather than relying on gimmicks, he focuses on time-tested techniques, quality ingredients, and fire that does the talking.

Every dish starts with patience and precision:

  • Slow-smoked brisket with a perfectly rendered bark
  • Caramelized burnt ends packed with rich, smoky depth
  • Barbecue classics done right
  • Inventive bites that keep the menu exciting

Because true barbecue takes time, SMKD doesn’t rush the process. Instead, the team leans into it. The result? Flavor that hits immediately and lingers long after the last bite.


🥪 More Than Just Meat

Although the brisket draws you in, the full menu keeps you coming back.

You’ll find:

  • Bold, stacked sandwiches
  • Crisp, fresh greens for balance
  • Comfort sides that taste like home
  • Shareable plates perfect for group dinners

Whether you’re stopping in for a casual lunch, family dinner, or game-day feast, SMKD offers something for everyone. In other words, it’s not just a barbecue joint — it’s a neighborhood gathering place.


🍺 A Beverage Lineup Built for Vegas Locals

Great BBQ deserves great beer. Fortunately, SMKD delivers on that front too.

From ice-cold classics like Modelo and Miller Lite to local Las Vegas favorites such as Duck Hunter IPA and HUDL Vanilla Oak Cream Ale, the beverage program pairs perfectly with the smoke-forward menu.

So whether you prefer a crisp lager or a bold craft brew, you’ll find the right pour waiting.
