Little Miss BBQ

This is a five-star BBQ! Love the ribs and brisket! They are juicy and soft, the ribs have a good flavor with the bones-just-come-off wonderful way to eat it. I like the brisket, they are yummy and delicious, perfectly cooked and smoked, with a beautiful brown color on the outside, tasty flavor inside. The sausage is also good, I like they put the jalapeño and cheddar cheese inside the sausage. The sides are also good, beans are good with meat! We went to the back to see how they do the smoke, it’s amazing they have all the professional BBQ equipments and woods, and the chef is very nice too, he chatted with us in a very interesting way and he is friendly to show us around! It’s very cool to watch all the BBQ in the grill. We will definitely come back again!

The line was long and I see why, the food is amazing but it moved pretty fast. The ribs were very tender almost falling off the bone. The brisket was juicy and seasoned to perfection! The BBQ sauces are good, but there’s really no need to use them. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. This is my second visit to Phoenix and my second time coming here. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing BBQ! Definitely in the top 3 that I’ve ever had. Seriously, it’s that good. The ownerI’m assuming helped me get my young kiddos situated and so kind. The brisket is amazing, ribs are delightful, the jalapeño cheddar sausage is so good! The pecan pie is to die for. I don’t even like pecan pie and I wanted to go up and order another one. It’s. So. Good. There is limited seating indoors, but there is outdoor seating. It’s definitely worth driving out of your way for!! Tip: if you want first choice of meat, get there early.

Everything I bought was the best. I ordered 2 plates Jalepino Cheddar Grits, Beef and Pork Ribs, Brisket, Sausage, Ranch Style Beans, and Cole Slaw. Little confusion on meat plates. Brisket plus Brisket or two meats. You can't have Beef Rib as one of the meats in a two meat plate. The folks behind the counter very friendly and have no problem adding a bit more meat for no extra cost and free samples. This BBQ will cost you a bit more than most other places. Be prepared to spend some money. I also bought their Pecan Pie. I haven't tasted it yet. Also, go before they open up, otherwise you could get stuck in line and not receive any food if they run out.

I think I know why this place is so popular. It was a satisfying experience with all the dishes I had ordered, but the pork belly is a bit salty for my palette. The pecan pie is unique and crispy. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant.

I got the chopped brisket with beans and coleslaw. The meats were excellent and everything is cut to order. You can even pick your cuts. We were even offered to taste other offerings. This place is legit. Staff is super friendly and helpful. My only gripe. No beerFood: 5/5

We were told this place was amazing and was a must go. 4 years later after hearing that we finally stopped by after visiting the Phoenix Zoo today. Wish we had gone sooner. To start the staff was friendly and amazing. And the one was a Yellowstone fan which was a plus. And the guy cutting the meat let us try a piece before buying. Thanks We ordered 2 sliced brisket sandwiches after tasting the brisket. The brisket was so juicy and melted in your mouth. Their homemade BBQ sauce is the perfect flavor. And if you like a little spice they offer one with more of kick but not overwhelming heat. We tried 3 of the sides. I had never had grits. But after having their Jalapeño cheese grits. I will definitely be having more. They were so good with perfect amount of jalapeño flavor and cheese. We also tried the ranch style beans. They were also really good. The other one we tried was the homemade potato salad. It is so good my wife and I trying to figure out how to make it for our own home bbq days. Anyway we will definitely be going back to try more of the other meats and order some sauces to take home.

Background: I love BBQ and like to taste and review every chance I get. When I travel, I plan for at least 1 meal at a top level BBQ spot. Little Miss BBQ came with rave reviews and high recommendations. I would not put it at the top of places I've eaten, but it did not disappoint. Perhaps the thing that was unexpected was that every meat was perfectly cooked. That is a tough task at a place as busy as they are. Brisket: 9/10 Bark & tenderness were amazing. Flavor only an 8. Sausage: Jalapeno/cheddar: 9/10 Regular: 8/10 Turkey: 9/10 Pork Ribs: 5/10...as stated, perfectly cooked, but the taste just wasn't there for me. Ranch Beans: 10/10 Some of the best beans all around. Potato Salad: 6/10 Heavy on the onions, not as creamy as I like. Others in my group like it better. Jalapeno Grits: 9/10...If I were a grits fan they might be a 10. All in all, I would definitely go back. Total impression: 8.5/10

Overall the meat is good, especially the ribs and turkey. The pitmaster does need to lay off the salt. The salt flavor is definitely a bit overwhelming. The brisket and pork left a lot to be desired and is not ordering. The beans, coleslaw and potato salad also leave a lot to be desired. The beans especially are undercooked and bland. However grits are really good.

STILL putting out some of the best central Texas BBQ in Arizona! BIG "Shout Out" to Quentin sp as friendly and he still remembered me from my visits before. Waiting in line was actually enjoyable, as the girl behind me and I passed the time talking about BBQ. We both were wanting a beef rib really bad, and as it ended up, we bought the last two they had! How cool is that?! This original location at University is Highly recommended! Hey Scott... my brisket and beef ribs are STILL better than yours! Ha ha! Parking: Was actually able to park in their lot as I got there on a weekday at just the perfect time.
