    This place came highly recommended, so we decided to check it out. My partner and I did the two meat platter - I chose pork belly burnt ends and chopped brisket and double grits (you get choice of two sides.) My partner got the jalapeño cheddar sausage, sliced brisket and added the other sausage and double mac-and-cheese. We shared our plates with each other and we both agreed that the sliced brisket was the best - it was so delicious; melted in your mouth like butter, the fatty part was so good. The worst thing we had was the pork belly burnt ends- it was super tough, and we skipped on them. The grits were good and the mac-and-cheese was heavenly. Also, the service was really great! Overall, it was a good place to eat at. It definitely doesn't beat Oklahoma or Texas barbecue, but it was nice to check out.

    Visiting from out of town for my son's 5th bday and Father's Day and found this place from Eater's list of best food in Phoenix and it didn't disappoint. Also found out later that it made "Texas Monthly's Best BBQ outside Texas" list. Once I found out they were doing preorders for FD, I knew what our meal for the day was going to be. Ended up ordering 3 different types of BBQ for our group of 7; brisket, beef ribs, and pork ribs. Each one was delicious! Brisket included cuts from both the flat and point which delicious without sauce. Personally, good brisket doesn't need sauce. Beef Dino ribs were super good too! Pork ribs came sauced perfectly and were perfect amount of tender. First place I've been to that did all types of BBQ that well. We ended up doing a pick up order and it couldn't have been easier. They had a long line for dine in but had a separate spot for preorders which was super easy. We showed up a little bit earlier than our scheduled pick up time but once our order was ready everything came packed perfectly in a box. If you're looking for good BBQ in Phoenix this place is a must!

    Never heard of this place until a recent mainstream media report they were voted by a rush of Yelp app users rating them number one. So, we made a specific trip to dine here. It's all good, but not the best by any means. If I ever find myself in that area again I'd go back, but it's not good enough to go out of the way. Had the two meat platter with pork short ribs and sliced brisket with beans and potato salad as sides. The potato salad was average, nothing special, but good enough. Same for the beans; yes, there was meat in it, but not much of it. The pork rib was good, tender enough. Now, the sliced brisket was VERY good. Nicely smoked/cooked, very tender. You have a choice of three sauces all in plastic squeeze bottles at your table. I tried them all [spicy, house (sweet) and mustard]. All three were as good as you would get anywhere else. It's counter service only and they have ample inside and outside seating. Plenty of parking.

    If you see a long line, don't let that scare you away from this place. We waited about an hour and honestly felt like it was worth it. While we were waiting, someone even came around with samples, which definitely made the line more manageable. When we finally ordered, we got the two-meat plate with ribs and brisket, plus a side of the house sausage. I'd highly recommend adding the sausage, it ended up being my favorite out of everything we tried. There's also ample seating (both indoor and outdoor). Overall, I'd definitely come back again if I were visiting the area.

    This is still one of the best bbq I've had west of Texas. They deserve a Michelin Star. The brisket bark is amazing, the meat is perfectly marbled, but not overly fatty, and the seasoning makes the meat so flavorful. The pulled pork is also among the best ever. It's tender, juicy, and has deep seasoned smoky flavor.

    It's the pits
    Tom E.

    This place is The Pits, but in the best way possible. We took home a quart each of beans plus mac and cheese. Kraft is Not the cheesiest. My loyal Food Patrol of regular observers know we spent some days in Sunnyslope tending to family business. Little Miss BBQ was a refueling stop. The last time we stopped in for a meal there was no meal. The goods were gone, eaten by an eager, hungry, horde. March 31, 2026 at 3 p.m. They were open, fully stocked. 1962 was the year my Dad was sent to Oklahoma to teach Air Forces from across the globe how to keep the engines of their nuke-tipped Intercontinental Ballistic Missles prepped and ready in case Boom Moment arrived. We lived to the south in Vernon, Texas where I learned the culinary tradition of Moon Pies and RC Cola, or Dr. Pepper. I also had my first meal of Texas Bar B Que. That set my taste for BBQ Brisket and BBQ beans; sweet, smoky and tender. I've since dined in Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Abilene and Merkel. We hit Mr. B's fabulously delicious BBQ near Harper's Ferry, VA. Another year we went on to BBQ in St Louis; Jonesboro, Arkansas; and Memphis, Tennesee. Locally, Bobby Q, My Mother's, TexAz and others I cannot remember. A BBQ universe of flavor, texture, and squirt-on supplemental sauces. BBQ is a very personal pitmaster production, with very personal diner's tastes. The BBQ firing squad has me against a wall, asking me if I want a smoked rib before I die for not writing much about Little Miss BBQ. I'll take the BBQ shack between Merkel and Blair, Texas. I kept going back by myself, yhen with groups of people, always returning in my memory List of BBQ Favorites. That Hole on the Plains and the town of my BBQ initiation, Vernon. Little Miss BBQ is a very cool place. It is worth a visit for the architecture alone. The pits are out the window as you enter the doors and hook a left to the BBQ ride crowd control railing. Menu is on the wall, on at least two spots. The northwest corner has a takeout counter. We ordered brisket sandwich and beans. The brisket was further flavored choosing one or more of the three sauces: sweet hot ish BBQ, sweet mustard sauce and one more flavor. My top taste of the meal was prickly pear lemonade. Going back for a refill I found 2/3 lemonade and 1/3 prickly pear made my perfect BBQ beverage. The peppery beans with another serving of pulled meat mixed in improved on my palate with sweet sauce added. The mustard sauce was recommended for our sandwich. It was a good addition. Will the family return here to dine? I'll write another review when we come back.

    West Texas BBQ. Good. Pricey. Quality cuts. Oh mmmmmmmy. I had smoked turkey and a pork rib. Spouse had the brisket. Sides were jalapeño and cheese grits, cole slaw and BBQ pork beans. Grits was too cheesy and rich for me. The rest, 10/10. Not cheap but worth every calorie and dime.

    Brisket and cheddar jalapeño sausages, ranch style beans
    Wil L.

    This place is THE go to for BBQ. Brisket is extremely tender with the perfect amount of smoke evident from the smoke ring. The cheddar sausages are has the right snap from the casing with the cheddar cheese just oozing out. Staff is always super friendly and restaurant immaculately clean. I always recommend LMB as the best in Phoenix anywhere west of Texas.

    The sausage with two sides ( jalapeño cheddar grit and cole slaw). Pulled pork with yummy beans and creamy mac and cheese.

    Wonderful food choices. Friendly staff. Nice open area for seating. Would recommend! Very popular place. Their Mission statement is to be the best part of people's day. And they are!

    This review is after a Saturday afternoon visit. The wait time to order wasn't too long. The line was about halfway to the door. The service was good. Friendly employees while ordering as well as employees checking in while dining in. The sliced brisket wasn't super flavorful nor was it warm. The chopped brisket was at least warmed by the potato bun and had additional flavor due to the sauce it comes in.The lemonades, original and prickly pear, were neither sweet nor sour. For the sides: the mac & cheese has a tangy/ smoky flavor, the jalapeño cheddar grits were fine with just a hint of spice, the ranch style beans were good. Overall, 7.5 out of 10.

    3 beef ribs and 2 lbs of fatty beef. 220$ wild huh.
    Adam W.

    Food is excellent. Service was great very welcoming and generous with answering and accommodating all our needs. Ambiance is relaxing and comfortable. Also 250 with one beer and fountain drinks. You decide :)

    Sliced Brisket  Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage Mac and Cheese Grits
    Stephen L.

    As someone who has lived in Texas and K.C. I am very skeptical about trying new bbq places. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the food and flavor . The grits were out of this world and had me wanting me food . The Mac and cheese was solid and very flavorful . The brisket was solid and was a nice mix of dry and wet. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was flavorful and made me want to eat more. When I go back o will definitely have the grits and jalapeño sausage with the brisket and I'll get the beans . The bread being provided was nice and I enjoyed making mini sandwiches with the meats . If you have the chu alce get in line and you will enjoy the food you are served.

    2 Meat Plate
    Victoria T.

    The employees there were extremely nice and welcoming!! We just missed their Saturday beef brisket as they just sold out so we're bummed about that. It's great that they give you the choice of lean or fattier pieces of brisket and you can even sample some of the meats too! I love that the meat is so flavorful you don't need any of the sauces but there are sauce bottles on each table that you can add to your liking. I'm someone who doesn't like saucy bbq and this was great. The brisket was on the saltier side, perhaps just a little too salty for me if it weren't for the bread, and the ribs were a bit dry too. I think if they had just cooked it a little less for both it would've been perfect because the brisket was also a little dry. I will give them the benefit of the doubt because it is busy, but just given the price and reputation I was expecting really great juicy bbq. I liked the Mac n cheese because it was complimentary but it could use more cheddar/strong cheese. Their potato salad is good tho! The banana pudding tastes like great homemade banana pudding, can't go wrong. Everything is nice and clean inside with restrooms straight to the back.

    When will Central at Thomas location open?

    No, they said they can't afford the cost it would take to make it profitable.

    When I pre-order do they take the money right there and then or on order date? For example: I…

    Is pork belly available everyday at this location?

    When it is, get there early cuz they only make limited amounts and once it's gone it's gone !!!

    What are the typical wait times for lunch? How early should we plan on arriving mid-week?

    If you go right in the middle of lunch (11:30-1:30) plan on waiting in line anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. It's not nearly as insane as the original location.

    How early should I get there?

    I would suggest close to when they open to make sure they have the full menu available. A few months ago when I went around 2p on sat they were running out of their more popular items and there was still ~ 30min wait.

    Am I going to have any problems getting in on a Thursday evening?

    5:00PM - No Problem! 6:00PM - Probably gonna wait for a while. 7:00PM - Waiting and possible… 

    Do they only sell the green chili burritos on monday or do they sell bbq as well?

    Only burritos, no bbq on Monday....

    I've been to the Tempe location, but need some tips for the Sunnyslope Spot. If you're going for dinner, do they restock their meats at 4 p.m.? What time do you recommend lining up for a 4 p.m. entry? Is there a good shot at securing indoor seating?

    It not as bad as Tempe. You can get in without a line until about 5:00PM.

    Planning on visiting on a Sunday. Do they run out of items earlier on Sundays?

    Absolutely. They are open earlier hours so they would always run out earlier but if you try to go there around 1pm they won't have much left.

    Does this location give out line tickets like the University location?

    No, been there a few times now and nothing like that.

    If you go later in the evening on a Friday are they sold out of a lot of options?

    Likely so.
