| - Hands down, Little Miss BBQ has awesome (excellent, fantastic, delicious, wonderful) brisket. The bark is crusty, the meat flavorable and you only need a fork to eat it. After saying that, I've got to say giving so many stars to a restaurant isn't always about eating a few items. It's about the whole experience. So, I would say if I was rating the brisket alone, rating it at a 5 star would even be less than it deserved. The brisket definitely would deserve 6 stars and with the knowledge of the owner cooking that brisket, I would even guess all the other smoked items are probably just as good. Cooking brisket is a talent and not everyone is that talented.
However, none of the sides lived up to the brisket. Living in Texas for years and years and being raised by Texans on Texas food, I'm very familiar with some of the Texas staples such as pinto beans and cornbread. Well, they don't have cornbread but they do serve pinto beans. I've read comments on the pinto beans they serve and many love them, but folks, they aren't Texas pinto beans even if they have brisket in them. They're spicy and not cooked as the pinto beans staples are cooked. The potato salad was made with potatoes that weren't quite cooked thoroughly and the coleslaw was just okay. Now the house barbecue sauce? It was awesome and we loved it. Should we return we would probably order the meat without the sides.
We waited in line about an hour. The line moves very slow and eventually we made it to where we could order our lunch. There are only 3 employees inside. This is where the real hang up is. Only one individual cuts all the meat while the other two stand around waiting for each customer at a time to get past the meat line. There could be two cutting and serving the meat and that would definitely help the line. The owner wants to cut the meat himself so he definitely micro-manages at this point but seems to be happy serving those they do.
The lines are long. Lunch customers can't make it through that line in time to return to work. There's even someone directing traffic in the parking lot and that alone tells you how popular this place is. We loved the brisket. Loved, loved it but would we return? Probably not. Lines are too long and price is higher than other brisket locations. Brisket here is definitely excellent but the line and offered sides are a downside.
