Blood Bros Texas Barbecue

The original location of Blood Bros Texas Barbeque is located in Bellaire, TX (just outside of Houston) and is famous for a Vietnamese take on Texas classics, even though it has only been open since 2018. This outpost is located at the 'Famous Food Street Eats' food hall, inside the Resort World Casino and Resort at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip.My wife and I stopped by the food hall on the way back to our room to pick up to-go lunches, that we ate in our rooms. Street Eats uses tablets to show menus and allow ordering from many of the food stalls, allowing you to combine dishes from different vendors and pay for it once (credit card or charge to room if you are staying at Resort World). You get a page when a particular dish is ready. We got smoked beef brisket ($20.75), and it was ready very quickly. It was pretty basic, with two thick slices of brisket on a piece of Texas white bread and a ramekin of BBQ sauce. Probably one of the smaller amount of food for the price we ate in Vegas.The meat quality was very good, and it had a nice bark. The problem is that it was served cold. Even then, because it was the fattier part of the brisket, it was still moist and tasted good. I think it would have been amazing if served right after finishing being smoked, or just kept warm. It reminded me of places where they smoke the meat offsite and deliver it to the selling point, cause smokers are not allowed. Obviously this wouldn't be happening here. Later I read that they DO smoke the meat on-site, so I don't understand the reason why they served it like this (unless the volume is so light that they need to be able sell cooked brisket the next day and can't afford to put it under heat in case it dries out). It would have been the same if you got it via mail order, and sliced it yourself.

Hands down worst BBQ I ever tried. Nothing I got was good did the Texas trinity and burnt ends....the worst EVER!

I thought it was just me but then I saw the ratings. Pretty bad. Just shy of $20 for a few slices of turkey in a styrofoam box with plastic utensils. To be fair, I didn't have a chance to try the brisket but probably similar quality (low). Service was very good and seating is relatively spacious but this place doesn't belong in ResortsWorld. If you eat here, you're very likely to be disappointed. Not recommended.

Wow surprised this place is getting such low reviews.It's kind of wild that I knew about Blood Bros when they were still cooking out of parking lots and outside of bars in Houston - now look at them now, even having a stall in the Resorts World Casino. They've really come a long way, and happy for the success.So back to this stall - I mean, this is definitely 75th% percentile BBQ, probably 80th percentile for Vegas, and 90th percentile for a food court. Brisket is good - not the same as going to Blood Brother's B&M location in Texas, but it's decent.It's food court prices, what can you expect. But if you're craving BBQ while in Vegas, or just happen to be in Resorts World, you can do far worse. Don't let the poor reviews scare you.

My experience was not so great, unfortunately. As it was suggested, I ordered my meal at one of the ordering kiosk. The process was pretty simple. Sadly, I wasn't aware of the problem until I received my food. On the menu there was no indication about how spicy the food can be. It is a very big deal for me because I don't eat anything spicy. I tried it, took a few bites but I couldn't eat it. It was very spicy for me. Money in the drain ... So just beware of the spicy food here if you are not so much for it! Otherwise you probably won't have a problem. Food was prepared in a timely manner. It didn't take too long.Portion is not a usual food court style, much less what you used to! Food court ambiance is okay. I'm not so crazy for the black lights everywhere. It makes everything look weird!

Whoa. I think I finally found my least favorite food in Vegas after years of searching. It's incredibly rare that I give a place 1 star on Yelp, but dang, was I shocked by the quality of this place's food.I ordered the Brisket Fried Rice and received it in a to-go cup. The flecks of brisket inside were incredibly hard and would not break down after chewing thoroughly. Each piece felt like how I imagine chewing on tanbark must feel. The remaining rice and veggie mix had so much salt that it stung my mouth. I had to drink a whole lot of water to wash this flavor down.I'm hoping to give this place another chance down the line as I'm sure their other dishes are the star of the show. However, in the meantime I have to be 100% honest that this was a tough and salty mess.

This BBQ joint is one of the more popular spots at the Famous Foods Street Eats food hall, located at the Resorts World casino in Vegas. I checked it out this weekend right before the Canelo fight later that day. Overall, I'd really rate this place as a solid 3.5 (definitely not a 4 as I have it) but, with Yelp not having 3.5 ratings, rounded up due to the customer service being excellent and the food coming out extremely fast. Originally went to order the Gochujang St. Louis spare ribs I'd heard about but they said they no longer offer those ribs here because there's too much "preparation" required for getting the food out in a reasonable time to customers (which didn't strike me as the best excuse but whatever). So I instead ordered the brisket, which seems to be another popular offering. The brisket by itself (a la carte) was $17.75 with sides being $7-8 more. None of the sides, other than maybe the brisket fried rice, really appealed to me me and I didn't want to spend $30+ dollars on a quick lunch so just got the brisket by itself. Another downer here was a regular 16 oz bottle of soda costing $5.50 (!) here, though that price for sodas/bottled water is apparently uniform throughout all the food spots at the food hall here. I asked for a free cup of water but they declined LOL - said the only water available is bottled water which could be purchased for $5.50.So I order and the food was ready within 2-3 minutes, which was fantastic. The BBQ was a handful of brisket cuts, one slice of white bread, and a small cup they provide you of spicy BBQ sauce (you have a choice between spicy and sweet sauce). I'll say that the BBQ was good (though not great), especially with the spicy sauce. I ended up having to ask for another cup of the sauce (which they happily provided) since the original portion of sauce was so small. The brisket was a bit dry but, again, it was good overall. Don't know if I'd ever come back here again because I thought the pricing was (very) high - both for the brisket and the bottle of soda. Definitely not close to the best BBQ I've had and I can see why this spot is rated only 3 stars on Yelp. If you want real BBQ in Vegas think you'll have to go off-strip to a spot like Rollin' Smokes or Soul Belly. As a positive, I'll say the worker here who helped me with my order was very nice and helpful in guiding me through the ordering process - that's the main reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 3.The food hall at Resorts is worth checking out if you've never been but don't think the quality of food here warrants the high price, at least for this spot in particular. I do appreciate the electronic screens they have set up throughout the food hall that makes it easier to order/pick-up without having to stand in a long line (they text you when the food is ready).

Service was good. We only ordered the fried rice dish they had. Ehhhh, very disappointed because it lacked so much flavor and the meat inside was more like burnt ends than brisket. No brisket sauce and no soy sauce. Crazy!!!

Wow I used to spend summers in Texas at my parents house when I was in college so I know what a good Texan Bbq should taste like but this was better than anything I had had. I was so disappointed at all the bbq I had in Orange County they were all bone dry n just tasteless, this Blood Bros BBQ was so moist so flavorful, finger licking good . I was afraid the coleslaw would be too spicy as it had jalapeño but I decided to give it a try, omg it was phenomenal what did they put in it to make it so delicious and it was not too hot. I was lucky I chose the bbq as all the other Chinese restaurants were expensive n I was afraid might not be good, I think Resorts World was bought by the Chinese n my experience from traveling all over China, the food was not as good as in Hong Kong. Come back to read my review of Resorts World n the Bacchanal buffet. This should be 6 stars!!

Tasty brisket, that's for sure. Also their corn chowder was excellent. Nice place. Obviously, a little too expensive but hey you are in Resorts World what do you expect lol.
