Little Miss Bbq - Phoenix

For those of you who are unfamiliar with what Little Miss supplies to the masses it is quite simply some of the best Texas style BBQ you will ever have the honor to wait in line for and consume. They open at 11 and often sell out by 2 so that should say something all by itself. The pastrami used to be my favorite item on the menu (Thursdays only) and then I tried the Lamb Neck (Wed only) and holy cow is that amazing. Friday and Saturday are very popular days due to the monster beef ribs which while expensive deliver on flavor. For most people it will start and end with the fatty and lean briskets. And for those people you are not wrong for thinking that way, because they might be the best ones I ever had, I have been to some of the gospel BBQ places in TX, and this stands right up there with them. The links were above average when they opened but the last few times they are legitimately as strong as the rest of the options. There are several sides for you to choose from the best of which for me is the beans. They have become truly excellent. It is the monster pepper hit and miscellaneous chunks of meat that really sells them for me. Oh and for those of you that care they have your white bread, pickles and onions as well. Now for a bit of an elephant, SAUCE. Great BBQ does not need sauce. This BBQ unquestionably fits in that category. But for those of you who are sauce inclined or like it on your sides they have you covered so to speak. (I actually like some sauce on my links) The regular, the spicy and the mustard. All three started out pretty good and have improved as well, I really enjoy the mustard sauce. I do not mind doing a little dipping to get a different flavor or to give it a bit more spice but I implore you all to try the meat without sauce before you smother them.

It's pretty good. Their sauces are good, and their desserts were delicious. The line wasn't too bad as we arrived shortly after they opened. Half-hour wait in line. Might be better to order ahead. Parking is very limited.

People come here from around the world just to get a taste of Lil Miss BBQ's delicious meats. I personally love their BBQ BURRITO which is a mix of all their meats in a green chili sauce that is to die for. You MUST try their grits and their potato salad, both so delicious, you'd come back just for that. Lastly, the employees are wonderful and treat you like part of the family. This is truly the best BBQ I've ever had.

Get there early and be ready to wait. Well worth it though. Went back, it's been a few years. Still a wait. Still well worth it.

The barbeque food definitely hits the spot. My favorite was the beef rib and the brisket; the sausage was not as flavorful. Parking was somewhat limited but people are constantly done eating and leaving so its not much of an issue. Limited tables indoors to eat but there are several tables to eat in the rear. Friendly staff and the vibe was just right.
