| - Saturday, March 26, the hubby and I got it in our heads to finally venture down and check out Little Miss Bbq to see if it rivaled our (former) favorite, Bobby Qs. Their hours? Tuesdays through Saturdays, 11-4. Or until sold out. That last bit scared me a little and as we drove over at 11.24AM, I joked that maybe they were already sold out. We laughed it off.
They were nowhere close to being sold out when we got there, but as we sat in the car waiting to turn into the overcrowded parking lot, and as we stood in line, that little fear never left my mind. And to be fair, we were waiting, for a while. Two and a half hours, to be exact. I've never seen a line this long for food. At points, it had crossed my mind to leave and get something else for lunch but we stood our ground, or rather, place in line, and waited.
The entire experience waiting in line was actually pleasant. Or at least as pleasant as standing in line can be. There was a guy out front, acting as a bouncer for anyone who tried to turn into the parking lot without waiting their turn. There was another guy, directing the cars in the parking lot, offering a bottle of water to everyone who drove in. Standing in line wasn't entirely terrible - there were misters that made it almost cold, there was shade, and there were all of the delicious smells. As I waited, staring at the menu, I am guilty of changing my order several times before deciding on sticking to my original plan - half a pound of pulled pork and a sausage. The hubby got a two-meat plate (brisket and pork ribs) and jalepeno cheese grits and a potato salad for his sides. I shamelessly stole a little bit of everything on the hubby's plate and was a little upset with myself for not ordering the brisket, but everything was so good, I really couldn't be upset for long.
Was it worth the wait, hell yes. Did it unseat Bobby Qs as my favorite barbecue place, without a doubt. Would I do it again, unfortunately, because of the long wait, probably on occasion, or when I gather enough people to pre-order 5lbs worth of meat - apparently that's one of the ways you can cut down on your wait time. Or strategically showing up an hour or so before it opens.
Also, kudos to the team working that Saturday before Easter (or any day really, seeing how every review seems to indicate that they're always busy). They were quick and efficient and extremely friendly - even if you were a little grumpy after waiting in line, they'd definitely turn that frown upside down.
