| - Overview: Little Miss BBQ is a painfully popular BBQ joint located in the heart of Phoenix on University St that serves brisket, pulled pork, sausage, lamb, and a few other delicious meats (I think chicken?) prepared in the finest manner. They offer grits, cole slaw, beans, and potato salad that are all very well seasoned and amazing (but not quite as amazing as their meat.) Expect to pay about $20/person when you come here if you get a drink and tip a little.
The Establishment: Little Miss BBQ is a mostly outdoor restaurant that accomodates large groups well (picnic table style) but still has a small indoor eating area for couples or small groups. It's also ridiculously packed all the time and your wait time will easily by more than 30 minutes no matter when you come here. The nice thing is that because they know they're so popular, there are multiple parking attendants to help direct traffic in their very crowded parking lot (people arrive 45 minutes before opening to make sure they have parking), sprinklers to cool you down as you wait in the 30+ minute lines, and free water bottles as well.
The Food: I ate the brisket, the sausage, all four sides, white bread, and pickles, and felt like I was in meat nirvana. Everything is so juicy and soft, and the fat just melts in your mouth. It's quite a remarkable experience that has to be experienced firsthand. The only thing that isn't spectacular here is the white bread as it's just.... white bread. A plate of meat with a few sides will be around $16 not including a drink or tip. Arizona iced tea is about $2.
Conclusions: Little Miss BBQ is the real deal, and I hope they don't keep raising their prices as I hope everyone can enjoy this experience. Never have I been so impressed by slow-cooked meat and boy do I wish that i had a BBQ place like this in Long Beach, CA.
