Stopped here and ate before our flight the next morning. Previous reviews are the reason we picked eating here. May have been the best bbq I've had. Very friendly atmosphere. Don't let the fences around the parking lot and other buildings scare you away.

After hearing and reading so many great things about Little Miss BBQ, I decided to take the drive out with some of my friends to finally give it a try - and we certainly weren’t disappointed! Although pricy, the quality of the meat expertise of the pit masters were apparent.

I ordered the two meat plate with brisket, pork ribs, beans, grits and also added a sausage. Although I’m not normally a fan of beans or grits, both of these sides were excellent and flavorful - honestly making me rethink my opinions on both! The ribs were tender, but not overly tender which sometimes happens when they’re overcooked. The brisket was extremely tender and well seasoned - and paired excellently with their house bbq sauce. The sausage was delicious albeit slightly dry, but I still enjoyed it a lot.

The service here was superb. Although ordering at a small counter, the employees were extremely kind and helpful with an amazing attitude… which is not something you always see at restaurants. It definitely gave us a great first impression which was then drilled in with the quality of the good. One other thing I’d like to note was display of smokers that they had out front - very impressive and it made the whole seating area smell so good!

Overall, I would definitely recommend this BBQ joint if you’re looking to splurge for something authentic and delicious! My friends and I will definitely be back.

This place is a gem. The food was on point and even though the menu is small you can find an interesting plate.

Service was great, very friendly and inviting. You could smell the bbq from blocks away and it smelled great. I was very impressed with the sliced turkey, very moist and tasty. The brisket was also great but mine was lukewarm for some reason. Sides were alright.
Would come back.

Best BBQ in Arizona.
The samples were so good and really helped make my decision!
The whole staff was very polite especially the man cutting the brisket and the young man behind the register!

Delicious. Definitely some of the best BBQ in Arizona. As with all BBQ, it's not cheap...

I gave Little Miss BBQ only 3 stars because of the price. I ordered a BBQ Green Chili Burrito after talking to the guy taking orders said it was big, a full pound. He asked if I wanted a sour cream packet which I was charged $0.75 for. My total was $17 and some change with no drink. When I got the burrito I was shocked at the size. It wasn't near the size of a Chipotle Burrito or your standard AZ Mexican Restaurant burrito around town. The rest of the menu was very expensive too.

The burrito was very good. I ate it all and enjoyed it. Was I full? No.

Can I find equal quality food around the Valley for cheaper? Yes.

Example Maria's Frybread on Thomas in Phoenix. I can get a Green Chili Fry Bread that is the entire size of a standard dinner plate and hard to finish it all. Cost's $13 and some change. I could list many more examples like this.

With rising costs to just maintain basic living in our country this matters to many people like me & people reading Google reviews.

The atmosphere was good and the service was good at Little Miss BBQ. Will I go back? No, I can enjoy the same quality meal for my likes significantly cheaper.

You can not eat here for under $20 a person with tax & drink. Costs are just getting ridiculous in our country.

First timer here! Came out from Gilbert for my birthday! I had to try the beef rib! It was delicious, best BBQ I’ve had. But the guys up front were also absolutely amazing. They made me feel special for my birthday. Thank you! We will be back!

I was fortunate to show up on a Thursday which is when pastrami is featured. And I love pastrami. The staff could not have been friendlier and kind. We had a brief wait outside but it was shaded and we were eventually welcomed inside to the cool air conditioning to order our food. Seeding is limited on the inside so we had to sit outside. I went with the pastrami sandwich and it was delicious. I will share, If I am going to pay over $20 for a sandwich then a healthier bread option should be available.
