The best damn barbecue in all of East Idaho. Hands-down awesome! I came in here expecting a a hole in the wall barbecue average Joe tasting place, but boy was I surprised I took that first bite of brisket. That meat just melted in my mouth! the portions were perfect as was the prices, hell I would've paid more. This was perfection in the way barbecue should be. I'm looking forward to my next trip up there. If you haven't tried this place and are from out of the area you gotta stop in and try it. You won't be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful awesome anniversary meal for my wife and I. read more

Holy crap!!!! I had the ribs and they were divine! Very friendly atmosphere. Very welcoming read more

I ordered 3 of the brisket sandwiches. 2 of them had a lot of fat. One was 1/3rd fat and the other was half fat. At least the dogs were happy. If there is a next time I will stand there and watch them make the sandwich. read more

This place is way awesome. Their food is so tasty. Had the pulled pork on top of the loaded potato. Has the cheddar jalapeño sausage, beef brisket. All were so delicious. Thank you for feeding our bellies with such amazing food. The crew were super nice as well! read more

Pricey and doesn't always have all items in stock. Food is DELICIOUS and worth the wait.

Excellent food as always. A chill place to hang out and feast on the good stuff. We got a take-out order for 14 people. It was ready 15 minutes early. I will eat here as often as I can. read more

Spendy for the quality and portions. Service is acceptable for fast casual. Parking is an issue.

Best bbq in Idaho hands down!!! Their brisket is to die for!!! Corn salad is my next runner up! Their service is amazing! The staff is always extremely friendly! read more

Staff was very unprofessional. They ran out of food, and then upon entering told us that, "this is good for us"... I understood that a bbq joint like this can run out if food. And if it has been explained that way, this review wouldn't even be a review. However, the smug response after I said, "oh, well that's not good" of "well that's good for us" from their staff as we had ourselves and 4 hungry children was amazingly off putting and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend attempting this location after 6 pm. read more

Best BBQ around. We have been many times and will continue to go there. Great brisket and sausage. The loaded potatoes are awesome too. Highly recommended. read more

Been here now a couple times and wish I lived closer because it's the best barbecue that I've ever had! Noticed it because of the bright mural on the outside walls and the inside is also nicely done up. The brisket, ribs, and pulled pork are incredible and we also really enjoyed the sausages. Got the sampler with a group of 4 and it should have been enough, but we had to go back for another half pound of brisket. read more

They make everything fresh and tastes amazing only quarrel is how much the price has gone up in the past few years but great food

Found a new BBQ favorite! My hubby dove into the sampler and fell in love with the array of meats offered. He stated that he could forgo the chicken, although it was tender and juicy. The Corn salad was strange and he was unsure that he even liked it or the beans that are Texas style and admitted he wasn't a fan. He did however enjoy the coleslaw. I ordered the 2 meat plate and tried the brisket and pulled pork which are gluten free and absolutely delicious!!! So tender and far from dry. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating. Plan on getting there early as they do run out of items. We will definitely return again and again! read more

This is our favorite BBQ of all time!!! We love going in there and seeing the smiling faces of your employees... Great Food!!! Lynda Fortier & Rick Duggan read more

Absolutely amazing BBQ! Their smoked chicken and turkey were delicious, and the smoked mac and cheese made a perfect side dish. My wife enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich! We also tried their corn salad, and it will be a staple in our meal for our next visit! Must try! The service was also exceptionally pleasant and the venue was comfortable. Highly recommend stopping by for a bite whether you are coming to Rigby or simply passing through. 10/10 read more

A little on the expensive side, which is to be expected for a BBQ joint, but even still I felt that there was an up charge for everything. Even French fries were listed as a "premium side", requiring an up-charge. Portion sizes could have been larger too. I got the three-meat plate with sausage, brisket, and chicken. Overall, it was pretty good, but I felt the brisket was a little drier than I would have liked. Maybe I had higher expectations than I should have for this place. All things considered, the food was good and we left happy. This is a great little gem tucked away in Rigby. We'll be back for sure. read more

Mike's is open!! They have delicious Texas brisket with a great smoke ring and oh so tender. My boyfriend loves their jalapeño sausage on his pulled pork Little Mike's sandwich. Stop by and support this Rigby restaurant and enjoy the food. read more

We love the meat! That part is always a favorite. We have struggled with liking the sides as well. Their salad would be much better if they would skip the iceberg lettuce. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch. One other car in the parking lot besides ours. Waited a bit before someone came out of the back room then 2 others came out. We said it was our first time eating here. Crickets....no response or even recommendations. I asked if they had burnt ends. She said no and basically waved to the menu board and seemed put out from our indecision. I am Keto so I chose the plain chicken and asked for 1 pound. My husband got the brisket plate. I sat at a table after he ordered for us then he went to the restroom while our lunch was being made. We get our food and I had a couple pieces of pulled chicken stacked on top of each other to make it appear taller. I asked him what he ordered for me and he said 1 pound of chicken. No way was that even 1/2 a pound. I asked to see the receipt which was $42.00!! They charged $16 for my "pound" of chicken....twice. Asked for a refund and it took all 3 of them to figure that out. No apologies. My chicken was so dry and tough, it got stuck in my teeth like stringy jerky!! I wish I were exaggerating. I've never had BBQ chicken like this, ever. My husband's brisket was 75% fat and it was cold. First impression will be the last impression. read more

Stopped here on our way home after visiting Yellowstone and Bear World. The food was amazing! Highly recommend the Brisket Salad, Brisket sandwich, coleslaw and Max and cheese- all amazing! The place is super cute and clean! Hurry, go get some amazing BBQ! read more

Great genuine barbecue! I have eaten a lot of smoked meat from all over the US in restaurants and home smoked, and this is place competes with some of the best! Family friendly and great value! read more

Now this is a proper Barbecue joint! We stopped in here on a Friday afternoon after a retirement ceremony and it hit the spot! We fed 11 adults and one child (12 people) with two Sampler platters, a quart of Mac & Cheese, a quart of coleslaw, and some cornbread. The food was outstanding and the decor was adorable. I wish I lived closer because I would come here ALL the time! Bravo Lil' Mike! read more

SOOO GOOD!!!! And Great service! Brisket was my favorite, and highly recommend the jalapeño sausage!

I've been to a lot of bbq joints and I also enjoy smoking foods myself. I have to say this is the best brisket I've ever bought and really close to the best I've ever eaten. If you in the area definitely get the brisket and whatever else suited your fancy. read more

This place is amazeballs! An unexpected delight in Rigby, Idaho! We had the Sampler... all of the meats and sides were killer!! read more

Lil' Mikes Smokin' BBQ - Sampler plate feeds 4 - Barbeque Near Me - Rigby, Idaho

It was our first and last time at this restaurant. We arrived at 7:30 pm and unbeknownst to us the place closes at 8 pm. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that our food was cold with the exception of the fries or the atrocious customer service. Our experience was below subpar. The server had an attitude as she dumped the plates at our table and she was loud about the fact that we were the last customers. "Sorry" we decided to be patrons of the establishment. The meat was tasty so that's worth a one star. read more

Wonderful local BBQ spot! Get off the highway and eat something locally made and delicious! read more

My pulled pork sandwich was pretty good other than the piece of bone that I bit into. I really came for the ribs so I guess it serves me right for getting what i didn't want in the first place. I really have to question how you run a BBQ restaurant and run out of ribs, chicken, and mac & cheese. It was 2 in the afternoon on a Thursday. Was it really that busy that all of the favorites were gone by the time we got here? To add icing on the cake, when my girlfriend had to settle for pork rather than ribs, her two meat plate was served on top of a slice of bread. Not an amazing sight for someone with Celiac. Nowhere on the menu did it say that the meal was served with bread. Shame on us for not pointing out that the meal of meat needed to be gluten free. Two thumbs down. read more

Friendliest service you can find! Food is amazing and comes out fast!!! Everything on menu is so delicious! read more

I've had BBQ in several states including Texas and Lil' Mikes ranks right up there at the top of the best I've had. The brisket is amazing!! But don't skip the other meats because you would be missing out. In Idaho tradition they also have a great loaded potato. If you're in the area you must stop and give them a try, but get there early or you might not get everything you want to, they tend to run out of some of their meats early. read more

The Pork Sandwich was really bland; even with the BBQ sauce. The sandwich texture was slimy. I would suggest to them to toast the buns. I was not impressed. Too bad for first impression. read more

Quick and DELICIOUS!!! Selection is large and everything is worth it! Wish I would've gone earlier.

Pretty good really. Had some ribs and baked beans. Spicy little more hot and spicy that I thought it would be but maybe that's how they do it in the cow poke towns. I would eat there again. Lots on the menu to try out read more

The best thing was the pulled pork, everything else was ok. Broulims has better almost everything at a way better price. The cornbread was dry, the ribs were ok, the brisket was ok, the beans weren't great, the corn salad was decent. The service was friendly. Can't say I would go back when Broulims is around the corner. read more

We tried this out for the first time and found it to be great. Both my girlfriend and I had brisket sandwiches at the suggestion of the young man cutting the meat. Friendly staff. We will be going back to try the other items. Our first time trying we were told that they were sold out of the 'good stuff' brisket, ribs and pulled pork. We were going to then try the turkey but decided to come back the next night for 'the good stuff'. The beans were a bit bland and the coleslaw nondescript however the green beans were surprisingly awesome read more

Taste good meat sold by the pound cost me $50.00 for two people .One had a piece of brisket and ribs with one side , other had brisket and pulled pork with two sides . Better than pitmaster for food quality and taste. read more

Delicious! We did carry out, and had leftover still for the next day. Glad we found this spot!!

The last good BBQ I've had was at Pappy's in Memphis. This place was just as good if not better. For a the taste of hidden treasure this is the place. They are very quick to get your food out and a fun atmosphere for the family. read more

For being in little town rigby this place is pretty tasty little spendy highly recommend the baked potato with brisket, nachos are ok but would be way better with a good chip or even home made chip which would suit the restaurant better and maybe a different cheese sauce instead of the plain nacho cheese sauce read more
