About our barbecue

Best BBQ in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada

Looking for the best BBQ in South Lake Tahoe? At Fox & Hound Smokehouse Grill & Bar, we bring authentic smokehouse flavor to the Sierra.

Inspired by regional BBQ styles from across the country, we slow-smoke our meats over cherry wood to capture the true soul of barbecue. From tender tri-tip and pulled pork to ribs and chicken, every item is seasoned with our house rubs and finished with our signature sauces.

Cooked low and slow, this is real Lake Tahoe BBQ—served daily.


About Our BBQ Sauces

These aren’t sauces made for a shelf.

They’re the BBQ sauces behind the ribs, tri-tip, and pulled pork we serve every day at Fox & Hound Smokehouse Grill & Bar in Lake Tahoe.

Each sauce is built around how it performs on real smoked meats:

  • Developed in a working smokehouse—not a lab
  • Used daily in a high-volume kitchen
  • Refined through years of serving guests

Our sauces are made with clean ingredients:
No high-fructose corn syrup. No MSG. No artificial preservatives. Gluten-free.

If you’re searching for award-winning BBQ sauce from Lake Tahoe, this is it.

Born in the Sierra Nevada. Crafted for Smoke & Flavor.
