Today was my first time and it was definitely a memorable experience. First off, the parking lot is not very big so you may be better off parking farther away, which is what we did. Regardless, you'll need the walk after eating ;) We got there right when they opened @ 11, and there were already tons of people in line. During our 1.5 hour wait, staff was so nice to keep offering us water bottles. They would also periodically update us on the menu, as far as what was running low, which I thought was thoughtful. The people we met in line also made for a good experience, since we ended up standing behind and infront of people from Texas, which is where my husband is also there, so they were all able to bond over Texas bbq. The people behind us claimed that Little Miss is better than any bbq place in Texas!
When we got to the counter we were greeted by a very friendly meat slicer. Every staff member was fun. The owner was genuinely kind, asking us questions. After he find out it was my husband's bday tomorrow, they gave us a pecan pie on the house! When it got to sitting down and eating the MEAT....WOW. It tastes like nothing I've had in this city before. The smoked flavor is so melt in your mouth. I overheard that the meat is smoked for 12-14 hours for goodness sakes! While we were leaving, the owner came by and said bye and thanked us for coming. What a genuinely nice touch.
We will definitely be back. Now I understand why people stand in line. We are now fans of their craftsmanship. Hope to see this place stick around for a long time! Phoenix needs this type of quality establishment.
