I would like to thank the staff at the hotel for recommending this place. What a hidden treasure! Their food is absolutely fantastic. I had the brisket and pulled pork plate (I also wanted to try the ribs and sausage, but they were already sold out!). That gives you an idea of how popular they are. Great service as soon as you enter. The young staff were super nice and polite...great job by them. The indoor space (with cold AC to fight the Arizona heat) is small but clean and comfortable. They also have outdoor seating with fans and mist to cool you off. I took my order back to the hotel. Let me tell you, the food is phenomenal. That brisket was so moist and perfectly seasoned...gosh it was so good! The pulled pork was fantastic as well. The potato salad was great and definitely made on-site, not from a bag. The beans were really good too. I was really impressed with their offerings and will definitely go back on my next trip to Arizona. read more

The food was worth the wait in line outside in the heat. That says a lot in August! (No more than 10 minutes outside.) We tried the 2 meat combo $29 and sandwich $19. Both come with 2 sides and I enjoyed all their options. The beans have chunks of meat and a bit of spice, the slaw & potato salad are lighter than your usual mayonnaise laden standard. The brisket & pork ribs were melt in your mouth tender! No knife required. The chopped brisket was moist and perfectly sauced, served on a delicious potato bun. The staff were all very friendly. This is definitely not a place to sit at if you don't have to. Very small inside and not much to look at. Now, weather permitting sitting outside and admiring their smoker might be a good option. It's a beauty! read more

Note: I dream about the food here, and I don't dream often. 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! read more

So I was in for business for two days the minute I took the shuttle to the hotel me and the driver start talking about food and he tells me about this barbecue secret spot. It was a two minute drive down from my hotel. I had two meat platter with two sides house made smoked sausage and pulled pork with coleslaw and polenta. Beyond delicious service was amazing. I couldn't believe the flavor in this barbecue. You have to try this place. read more

I came here for lunch on a work day just to have some barbeque, and was in the mood to try a little bit of everything, and it turned out great. Pretty much every type of meat that they had was a hit. Some of the meat was a bit salty, but it wasn't salty enough to affect my culinary experience. Overall I thought it was very delicious. Naturally, the sliced brisket was very juicy and tasty, and the chopped brisket provided good textural consistency along with the flavor. I also thought that the turkey breast was a good item to neutralize the strong taste that came from some of the meat, such as the pork belly burnt ends, which were both sweet and salty. The sausage pieces were also great in providing a layer of flavor distinct from the other kinds of meat. The pork spare ribs were generous in size, although I thought the sauce could be a bit less sweet. Overall, very solid barbeque meat and I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone that visits the Phoenix area. read more

Stumbled across this gem while visiting Scottsdale for Spring Training. I saw the reviews coming out the airport and was stunned at the reviews. We got our rental car and drove right over. Because we were hungry we decided not to wait in the line but reschedule to go back on Friday. I looked more at the reviews and Tik Tok's and saw this place was legit and the beef rib was to die for. Comes Friday, we get there at 10:15 am right before the line built up. We spoke with one of the employees for while regarding what to order and about Spring Training while we were in line. As we got in, you order at the counter and pick what you want. The employees are cutting up the food in front of you and weighing it. The inside area has limited seating and it's very narrow. Outside theres a good amount of seating but filled up right away. I ordered the beef rib for my dad and I to share, a plate for myself with brisket and turkey. I got cole slaw and mac sald on the side, both were kind've whatever for me. The turkey honestly is a sleeper pick, it was delicious and more flavorful that I thought. Brisket was mouthwatering and so tender but that beef rib lived to the hype. It fell off the bone and had the perfect fattiness to tender ratio. We enjoyed the outside and feasted but it's quite expensive like all BBQ. The quality was fresh and I would definitely recommend if you are in the area. I don't eat BBQ a lot so I don't have a huge sample size for whats good or not but I loved it! read more

I am from Kansas City and consider myself a bit of a barbecue expert. Don't get me wrong. I like all types of barbecue: Carolina, Texas, Nashville, and, of course, Kansas City. Just makes you look at the barbecue from all across the country in a little different light Last time, my son took me to a barbecue joint in Phoenix. It was definitely a fail. I was accused of being a Kansas City barbecue snob and the only reason that I said it wasn't good. It's because it wasn't from Kansas City. Not true. The barbecue was just bad. Let's face it. There are a lot of bad barbecue joints. So when my son said, Meet me for lunch at Little Miss BBQ University I was a little bit apprehensive. But I'm in Phoenix to visit and hang with my son, so I'll give anything a try. Rolled into the parking lot, which was full. Looked at the door leading into where you order, and people were outside waiting to get in. I took both of those things as good signs. I was waiting for my son to show up. I got to check out the smokers and the guys running the smoke. The people are dedicated barbecue professionals, and the smokers are serious tools. Once you enter, you're greeted by a friendly staff, and the guy cutting the brisket, dishing out the pork belly, and making the sandwiches is an awesome dude. My son ordered brisket, pork belly, and jalapeño grits. I ordered the jefe sandwich, pulled pork, sausage, and jalapeño grits. Between the two plates. We had a great sampler of several items from Little Miss BBQ University. I would have to say they passed on all points, including their three sauces: a mustard sauce, a traditional sauce and spicy sauce; all three rocked it. Pit Masters school is in session at Little Miss BBQ University! read more

Mmm mmm mmm delicious!!! The 4/5 stars is me being picky because it could easily be 5/5, our favorite things here were the brisket, ribs, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and potato salad! We loved that they had bbq options including a mustard bbq that not all bbq places carry. I am a big fan of smoked turkey and although it was fantastic here it wasn't my overall favorite, I do also prefer pickled onions vs raw (again me just being picky but if they gave that option that would be amazing! And we didn't care much for the house sausage but that jalapeño sausage is 10/10!! The service was also amazing, great positive attitudes the moment you walk into the door. It is a small spot and they are popular !! It's probably best to get your food to go because the indoor seating is very minimal. You may also need to wait in line in that AZ heat because the moment you walk into the door you're at the food so another reason to just order pickup! Overall definitely one of our top bbq spots on the food alone! read more

While I'd recommend ordering online to save time and make sure they're not sold out of items, Little Miss BBQ is well worth the wait. I came the Sunday before Memorial Day and waited about an hour. They'll let you order drinks while in line and there's water. They sold out of pork belly right when I reached the front so I hope to try that next time. All of the employees were incredibly friendly. I got the two meat plate with fatty brisket and pulled pork with mac 'n cheese and grits as sides. I added on the prickly pear lemonade and pecan pie. The meats rivaled the BBQ I've had in Texas. The mac was incredibly cheesy and flavorful, and they know how to do grits right. Even with the jalapeños they were not spicy at all and I'm a wimp when it comes to spice. The pecan pie was the best I've ever had. The filling was custardy thick - I've never had a pie like it. The lemonade was a nice tart complement to the meal, plus I loved the house and mustard sauces. Having grown up in the South, I have high standards for BBQ. This place deserves all the praise it's getting. read more

Man right from the start the staff is very helpful great attitudes and always keeping it real. Samples some food before ordering and my goodness amazing brisket and the burrito was fire here as well. I am from Albuquerque and travel for work so I will be back for sure. Amazing atmosphere and food as well. Favorite barbecue up to this point. read more

I've had this brand at another location, so when I saw there was one near my hotel I knew it was a go to! Haven't have the brisket, and opted for the jalapeño cheddar sausage, cheese grits, and the potato salad. Brisket was all that greens are made of, the sausage was as expected. Grits were loaded with flavor, and the potato salad was average. Sauces were available, but none were necessary! Only downside was lack of local beers... opted for a Coke but cold beer would out this over the top! Ambiance is picnic holler, service was at the counter but helpful, and prices are in line with expectation... read more

Little Miss BBQ-University - 2 meat platter.. brisket, sausage, grits, potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First visit to Little Miss BBQ after hearing the hype for awhile and it definitely lived up to a lot of it--with a few caveats. We got there around 11:15, just 15 minutes after opening, and the place was already buzzing. Parking was tight, but we managed to snag the last spot. The line, though, was no joke--it took about 40 minutes to reach the counter. On the plus side, the staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made the wait a bit more bearable. The sandwiches are on the pricier side--around $20 for what looked like roughly a third of a pound--but the quality of the meat is clear. I had the sliced brisket, and my husband went for the chopped brisket. Both were smoky, moist, and packed with flavor. Maybe just a touch too salty for our personal taste, but still really enjoyable overall. The coleslaw was a nice surprise--tangy, fresh, and a great balance to the richness of the meat. All in all, a solid experience and worth trying at least once. Next time, I'd definitely order ahead to skip the long wait. Sorry about not having pictures of the sandwiches. We were so hungry by the time we got back home we wolfed them down and forgot to take them. read more

From the moment you're in line it's not so bad even though today in Phoenix was 112. When you get inside you wait maybe 10 minutes outside not a big deal we went for lunch. Yes we drove from Tucson to Phoenix. The staff is amazing. that's the first thing very very friendly very kind very engaging answered your questions. Even there was lines of people they don't make you feel rushed the place. Smells delicious. We tried basically almost everything. The brisket delicious the beans and the potato salad. Loved it. The ribs melt off the bone I love pickles suck the pickles were really good. We got to have a table inside. I agree it is very small but they're so nice and everybody's very engaging and the food is awesome. Nothing negative other than 112 in Phoenix. read more

We've been meaning to try Little Miss BBQ for quite some time, we just never happen to be in the area, but luckily we were yesterday. We planned to go for lunch so we wouldn't risk getting there with no meat left. We can definitely understand and respect the hype and accolades now. We shared the smoked turkey and the sliced brisket in our two meat plate. My goodness, the meat literally just melted off the fork. They gave us a plastic knife and we didn't need it at all. The flavor was amazing. The brisket was exactly how brisket should be! We also got the coleslaw and the grits for sides. We usually get a macaroni and cheese or mac salad but they didn't have that as an option. The grits were actually a solid choice. They are jalapeño cheddar grits and they were super smooth with just a little bit of kick to them. You also can get sandwiches or burritos if that's more your speed. Soda and water is in bottles or cans. The bbq sauces were also quite tasty. Luckily there was a little bit of indoor seating because it's June in Phoenix and it's already 100 + at lunch time but they did have an outdoor seating area with shade and misters going. I want to go back on a Thursday when they have pastrami and also to try the ribs. I was wearing a white shirt and wasn't feeling brave enough, but next time I'll dress accordingly. read more

Wow! I know there are a lot of BBQ places and there are several just like this one, but WOW! It's not just the food, which is amazing! It's the dudes serving you up! Like these guys are so fun and loud and friendly! There are two guys that really do a lot of talking while you're in line and the one in particular is funny and very entertaining. I had the Jeffe Sandwich with Ranch Beans and slaw and I grabbed a single serve SMOKED pecan pie! I didn't get a pic of the pie but it was AMAZING! I'm telling you, I didn't want to get caught recording them or I would have gotten way better videos because these guys are great! They have this location in Tempe / Phoenix and another location as well! Great lit BBQ and great entertainment as well! read more

Little Miss BBQ-University - 2 meat combo, with a beef rib ala carte. That smoked pecan pie was amazing! - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've got a confession... I had never been to Little Miss BBQ before, and after finally going, I can officially say: it is absolutely worth the hype. Every award, every line, every rave review. Everything was phenomenal. The brisket was tender and buttery with that perfectly smoky. The pulled pork was insanely juicy. Even the sides tasted like they got the same love and attention as the meats.  You can smell the magic before you even reach the door, and the first bite truly lives up. We went late in the afternoon on a weekday and had maybe one or two people in front of us. There was shockingly not that much of a wait. Highly recommend checking it out around that time so you don't have to wait outside in line. The staff was friendly, the service was fast, and you just know you're in for something good.  If you haven't tried Little Miss BBQ yet, (don't wait as long as me!) make it your next stop. It's an Arizona staple and must try! read more

So if you're hungry come early, they open at 11am & the line grows FAST & long. The parking lot is small, maybe 35 spots. I always get the sliced brisket with jalapeno grits! Everything they offer is really good, the staff is very friendly & they bust their butts to make as much as they can for you. It's a outdoor bbq place, there's about 7 tables inside & 6 outdoor bench seating. If you're thinking about mouthwatering bbq, this is where you want to plan to eat. read more

Was hungry for BBQ and came across this pace and it's reviews. After reading several I decided I had to try it. While the place was very basic (food line, tables outside) the food was terrific. I had brisket, pulled pork, and 2 pork belly burnt ends along with coleslaw and potato salad. HOLY H3LL Batman the flavor was out of this world. I am not big on spice and have a low tolerance for it so I can say it was a tad spicy for me but for 90% of the human race would prob say there didn't notice the heat. It didn't stop me from enjoying all of it. I especailly like they had a mustard bbq sauce along with their sweet & tangy, and spicy. No I didn't try the spicy but I did try the other two. I found the meat realy didn't need any sauce and quit after the first couple bites with each. sides we good, nothing to write home about, seating like I said was outdoors under a shelter so you don't roast in the sun but I don't see enjoying it in mid July or Aug so thankfull it was mid January for me. I will keep this place on my list of stop when I'm in this area and return for more. read more

Little Miss BBQ-University - Brisket and pulled pork plate - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Holy crap, this place is fantastic!!! You can purchase meat by the pound or get sandwiches. I recommend the jefe. You can also get two meat plates with two sides. Three types of barbecue sauce, mustard, which I highly recommend, are spicy. Several different types of soda and free water to drink. Plenty of seating inside and out, but I highly recommend arriving early and standing in line, since it is first-come, first-served, and once they're out, they're done. Laid back fun atmosphere. Staff help make decisions and suggest different products, and they laugh and joke with each other and with you, the customer. And if you're really into it, they do sell clothing as a souvenir. read more

So I heard so much good about this BBQ and that this is the best BBQ in Arizona.. But everytime I think about coming here it's too far.. But today I accidentally realized I was really close, so I was happy to try it out. Parking lot is little busy with people in and out, and sitting inside is limited. Very friendly staff greeting you at the entrance. Menu selection was pretty good minus little bit on the high end. Ordered two meat plate with brisket and pork ribs. For the side ordered the jalapeños cheddar grits and coke slaw. Guy taking my order was nice enough to give me small fat end of the brisket while I waited. Oh snap. So fatty and flavorful. OK so I sat down and looked at the sauce. Regular, spicy and mustard. Nice selection of BBQ sauce. I started eating because I couldn't wait and I realized I didn't take my first picture which happens here and there. Brisket I have to say was best brisket I have ever had at a BBQ joint. The fatty end was so yummy melt in your mouth, regular meaty cut was still nice and moist and flavorful. Nice smoke color on the edge. Not too dry and nice light smoke flavor... Pork rub was also pretty dang good. Again probably the best I have had in Arizona.. Probably second to Peg Leg Porkers in Tennessee. Nice and juicy and almost fall off the bone but not too much to where meat falls off before you take a bite. BBQ sauces were really good also. Spicy was really not spicy at all.. I which it was little spicier.. The mustard one was probably one of the best mustard sauce at. BBQ place. Coleslaw.. So fresh and crunchy tangy yummy coleslaw.. One of the best coleslaw at BBQ place. Jalapeño cheddar grits, I love grits and nice touch with cheddar mixed into it.. Best grits I have had so far. Over all the atmosphere, food, and friendly staff made this trip worth a while.. I would definitely come back here with my family and order some other meats. This is definitely 4 and half start for me.. I am so glad I came.. Very yummy. read more

Alright y'all, I get the hype. Some friends and I came to Little Miss on a Saturday. We made sure to get in line when they opened at 11am and it honestly wasn't too bad of a wait. They have just a few tables inside and more seating outside. I also noticed a lot of people just took their orders to go. Since there were four of us, we decided to share the big family platter which came with two sides, bread, two types of meat and sausages. Seriously everything I tried was a 10 out of 10. My favorites were a tie between the jalapeño cheddar sausage and the brisket. I tried all three of their homemade bbq sauces. I really liked them all so I couldn't choose a favor there. I will 100% be back here. It was so good and to be honest even better than a lot of the barbecue I've had in Texas. The workers are also the nicest people ever. They were so helpful with ordering and continuously checked in on us. You can tell they really care about their craft. read more

Just to be clear, still the best authentic barbecue in Arizona. Argue all you want, but as a BBQ fan, this is butter!!!! When brisket literally "melts in your mouth"... that's all I need to say!!!!! I have frequently visited the original locations for years. Typically, I do online orders with friends, or we'll do a couple of large orders on Thursday, which include pastrami about every three months. I was craving some brisket and was leaving downtown Phoenix... figured I'd take a chance with the 110°+ temperature to get some brisket & ribs. When I arrived, I was fortunate to be able to get a parking spot with ease, and there were only a few people in line (6 in front of me, and that ain't bad). Staff are extremely passionate about their food and will offer up some samples while you wait. For me, when it comes to my brisket, I like the fatty part, so make sure you request but you still can't go wrong with the lean. Everything was on point, and given the fact that I was only doing protein this day, I couldn't help but enjoy myself immensely. There are only about 15-20 seats inside, so if you come by yourself, make sure you feel comfortable sitting with others, or you can make your way outside to the shaded area. During the summer, the misters are pumping, but I feel like that only works for people visiting Arizona, thinking it's a relief!!! I look at what others order and they grab combo plates... The sides are typical sides, but not ones I favor. Beans, coleslaw, Potato Salad, Jalapeno Grits (I've had a few times and are good). (I prefer mac & cheese & collards :-) ) To get the best bang for your money, partner with friends and place a large order to indulge on the meats at your own discretion. read more

We shared Sliced Brisket / Beef Rib / Pork Spare Ribs / Turkey Breast / Pork Belly Burnt Ends with coleslaw and potato salad. I've had bbq in Texas several times and this is comparable which is rare! I was so impressed they even nailed the tenderness of the turkey. I appreciated the sides tasted lighter and not terribly mayo heavy. Staff were so friendly and patient. Only downside is how small this location is - they can only serve one customer at a time and have a few indoor tables. If you're a tourist like me, it's worth it to go early before opening to avoid a long wait and get a table. read more

We stopped here for a dinner while traveling because it was close to the highway with great ratings, and oh wow -- we were not misled! This is an excellent barbecue joint with super friendly staff and a rustic but charming vibe. We got the chopped brisket, which was phenomenally tender, smoky, and well-seasoned. I tried it with various sauces, which were all good, but honestly the meat didn't need the sauce at all. I ate most of it without anything added. The cole slaw is very traditional, while the potato salad was a bit more onion-heavy than your average. I liked the kick that gave it, though! I got the seasonal fall dessert: a pumpkin Nutella pie. Ohhh my gosh, was it phenomenal. I'm a big fan of pumpkin pie, and the addition of Nutella to this one made it super decadent. This one is a little mini pie, but a full-size one would be a show-stopper at Thanksgiving. read more

Came here due to all of the good reviews but I was highly disappointed. It was $90 for 2 adults and 1 kids plate. 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. read more

It's interesting that this place is located in the middle of an industrial area and very little food competition. They have their entire BBQ set up in the front to see and the actual indoor area is quite small. There's ample outdoor seating but there's a bunch of flies buzzing about there though. Customer service was amiable. I got a two meat platter plate for $28. Admittedly, it's not that much food but the quality was amazing. I tried out the sausage and sliced brisket and jalepeno cheddar grits. Oddly enough, my favorite part of my meal were the jalepeno cheddar grits. I went back inside to order a pint of jalepeno cheddar grits to go. The people in front of me wanted sausage but it ran out and they had to go home. What I found really odd was that later on, I overheard the workers talking about a new batch of sausages going to be ready in 20 minutes. Note that other items were no longer for sale despite it not even being close to their closing time. They even did not have enough jalepeno cheddar grits for me and I was forced to buy a smaller size. The biggest problem here is definitely a supply issue. I would advise calling ahead in advance to make sure they have the food you want otherwise it'll be a waste of time and gas to get here. read more

There's not much to say that hasn't been said about Little Miss BBQ, other than yup, it's pretty great. No, it's not in the prettiest part of town, but it is very airport adjacent for those heading in/out of town. The brisket is solid, the ribs are great, the beef rib is a behemoth and the 707 sausage is really good. Side options are limited, but the potato salad is plenty for me and an excuse to focus on the meats. Staff are friendly, they've expanded their hours over the years and there's a number of picnic tables available for those not looking to take their Q on the road. read more

My husband and I stopped by Little Miss BBQ and ordered the 2-meat plate. I had the brisket and pork ribs, and both were absolutely amazing; tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, they were out of the pork belly, which my husband had been looking forward to, but he ended up getting the jalapeño sausage and brisket instead and was not disappointed. A special shoutout to their sweet and tangy mustard sauce; it complemented the meats perfectly and added an extra layer of flavor without overpowering the barbecue. Even with the pork belly being sold out, the food and overall experience were excellent. We'll definitely be back! read more

I've had Little Miss BBQ on my radar for quite a while. Happened to be in the neighborhood right when they opened, so I figured it should be very fresh food. The service was fairly friendly in explaining how to go about ordering and what items were. I purchased several meats for take out and rushed home so it would stay fairly warm. The ribs were just ok. They were slightly fatty and the flavor was good but so many people rave about this place, I thought I would be WOWED. Nope, not at all. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was pretty good. I also purchased a pecan pie which was also just ok. Maybe it was an off day. Not sure I'd go out of my way to go here again, but if someone I know wanted to go I'd probably give it another try. read more

Had a sample of brisket, burnt ends and sausage. Brisket and burnt ends were top-notch, sausage was just okay. It lacked flavor in my opinion, but I see it's a favorite here, so maybe it's just me. I also had the closlaw which had just the perfect amount of dressing that wasn't too sweet. Outdoor seating area is perfect for a BBQ joint like this. I love how the management is constantly engaging with customers and asking for input. A very well-run and tasty BBQ spot. I will definitely return next time I'm in the area. read more
