    This little place next to Fry's, third time I eat there's it's so good. Good service. Cabeza tacos and the best

    Birria Ramen
    Izzy G.

    I've driven by this place several times and finally decided to try it. I ordered the Birria Ramen, Carne Asada Taco and Birria Taco. I don't understand the low ratings at this place, the tacos were both awesome and the Birria Ramen was not bad. When I told them I was on my way to Flagstaff and needed to eat something before I left they offered me another Taco for my journey. They gave me a free carnitas taco and it was also very good. I would definitely stop by here again when I'm in the area. Prices were pretty good and service friendly.

    We been going here for a while and it's more of like u eat it in, if u take it home it will get cold and soggy. Like most food u take out! Idk what them 1 stars be talking about. But overall top 3 taco spots for sure! Service is always nice. And the place is always clean.

    Great and hot salsa!

    I don't know where the low ratings come from, I thought this place was fantastic. I went to the food truck on 63rd Ave and baseline and had no problem. The asada tacos were very good and flavorful! The pastor was a nice taco as well. The salsas were also good! I liked everything about it except for the cilantro, it was kind of old and had dark spots on it, it was not fresh. But I love me some good tacos and I will definitely be back here! Cash and card accepted! Friendly service and great food!

    Note: I dream about the food here, and I don't dream often…read more The service is amazing and they really are quite kind despite the large number of people always in line. Take you friends here and definitely give their hard cider a go! -------------- Food Items: - smoked brisket: it was flavorful and just absurdly amazing. Additionally, the spice blend is amazing. The meat is just super tender and hardly tastes dry at all. A must have. - sausage: I cannot speak for this because of my dairy allergen and they weren't quite sure but definitely seems great - pork smoked ends: These were absolutely my favorite. From the sauce to the tenderness and the distinct umami from the wood smoke mixing into the pork and the fat from the cut being so tender it just melts on your tongue. Overall you have to go here and this is one of my favorite restaurants, and TAKE your friends here! The ambiance is great and the music isn't too loud where you cannot hear each other!

The jefe was good but my Mac n cheese portion was tiny and the noodles were too firm. Kids plate was a joke too, came with 2 small pieces of brisket and 2 smalllllll sides. Don't order the potato salad unless you love onion, it's all you can taste. The banana pudding was good, but I've had better. I won't be returning unfortunately.

    O.M.G. The perfect…read moreopportunity to go whole hog... First of all, I rarely care for the interior of most Phoenix restaurants, but this restaurant is magnificent. Comfortable, sorta on the dark side. Classy. As I was not driving today, I decided to try their smoked Old Fashioned. Excellent -- and the dark cherries they use are the perfect addition to the cocktail. (The glass is coated with smoke from a smoldering piece of pecan wood, and the cocktail was served with a cloud of smoke under a coaster covering the glass.) The pig sickles ( ribs) were the perfect chance to make a pig of myself. Had the two meat plate, pig sickles and barbecued pulled chicken, If you like corn, you must have the side of corn with your dinner. The barbecue beans were delicious. Our server did a magnificent job tending to our drinks, appetizer, and food orders -- despite being very busy (the place was packed! -- and seemed like she was in constant motion. Very nice individual who liked la Prices? It was expensive, but the best barbecue always is. Eating isn't cheap. It was well worth every dollar spent. All in all, it was a perfect dinner. The perfect parting gift: a small paper bag containing four small donuts, coated with cinnamon. Our bag didn't make it home... I think we've found the perfect place to bring our family and out-of-town guests for dinner.

    I'd heard so many people rave about Little Miss BBQ, so I finally decided to see what all the hype…read morewas about and wow, it absolutely lived up to it. The brisket was hands down my favorite. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender, sliced perfectly, and seasoned just right so the quality of the meat really shined through. Every bite was packed with smoky, savory flavor. I also have to give a shoutout to the jalapeño cheesy grits. They were incredibly creamy, almost like the consistency of queso, with just the right amount of heat. Honestly, I could've eaten an entire pint of those and been perfectly happy. As amazing as the food was, what really made this experience stand out was the hospitality. The staff was genuinely excited to hear it was my first visit and seemed just as happy that I was enjoying everything. After chatting with them for a bit, they surprised me by offering their smoked pecan pie on the house. I was completely stuffed and almost turned it down, but they insisted and I'm so glad they did. It was rich, smoky, sweet, and absolutely lip-smacking delicious. Great barbecue is one thing, but genuine hospitality is what turns a meal into a memorable experience. Between the phenomenal brisket, the addictive jalapeño cheesy grits, and that unforgettable smoked pecan pie, Little Miss BBQ has earned every bit of its reputation. The way the staff treated me made me feel like part of the family, and that's something you don't come across every day. I can't wait to come back!

Bobby-Q has become our go-to restaurant for bringing out-of-town visitors and family to dinner for a memorable night. In this case, we planned for 2 family members to visit us -- and three showed up. We had some excellent appetizers -- the nachos are worthy of being served at any restaurant. At the table, we had a variety of orders, including French Dip (3 of us had this); I had the two-meat barbecue (beef rib and chicken); my side dishes (corn, and beans) were very good. I have no idea what our fifth family member had, but they didn't say much until they had nothing to look at other than a clean plate. Our servers were superlative... attentive, genuinely nice people, good manners, and amicable. They got a nice tip. Outstanding evening, enjoyed by all of us.

We had ribs and Cajun Shrimp both were flavorful. I will look at my previous visit as an isolated incident which I am sure has been addressed in-house. BobbyQ's is as great as it always has been. I have been coming to BobbyQ's since I was 8. I will keep coming here as long as I live in Phoenix.
