"We had lunch at the Circle B Smokehouse while on recent a road-trip. It was BBQ perfection! One of us had the meat plate of brisket and the other chicken. It came with a choice of two sides including potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, maci-cheese, and more. I wonder if they deliver to Nevada!"

"The place was cute and family freindly! The open space layout was perfect for a spacious dining experience and the food is brought to you by a smiling server. The sliced beef sandwich was dripping in a delicious bbq sauce and it came with lays chips to dip the extra sauce you don’t get on your fingers- 10/10 would recommend"
