First the overall - top notch service, fine ambiance, best BBQ I've ever had, anywhere. The folks who run this place would give their soul for barbecue and it shows everywhere. They're super friendly, constantly hand out free samples to the line and just generally treat you well. The ambiance is fine, I hardly notice it between bites of my brisket. It's pretty much an old style house with a big front lot. You're not going to be dazzled. The food, like I said I'll get into more detail but that's the entire reason you should come here. Even on their worst day, it's torched everything else I've ever had. Onto the full review.
Like I said, service rocks here. They're just flat out friendly and having a good time. Typically you'll have to wait in line for at least an hour here (trust me, it's worth it) and it's always fun to shoot the breeze with the gent working the pit. They are always walking around handing out free samples and treat you like you're at a backyard barbecue. Things are very slow but again, this is deliberate because they want to nail everything about your food.
Ambiance is meh - look I honestly don't care on this one. It's basically just an old brick house like you'd see anywhere in phoenix with a large front lot. You'd miss it if you didn't know what you were looking for. You'll be lucky to sit inside, if at all. They may have added more since I was last here but it is what it is. Again, the food here is so good, I'd eat it behind a dumpster if that's all they had.
And now, for the entire reason you've even shown up, the food... Oh my god, the food. I've been to more than half the US, several countries, tried everything ever put in front of me at least once... There is nothing in this world I've had that was tastier than Little Miss's brisket. My wife is quite the home cook and even she would agree. You select your plate size and it has an applicable number of sides with it. Expect to pay about 40-50$ but don't worry, you won't even be able to finish it.
Your plate is gonna be absolutely loaded up with the most decadent barbecue you've ever seen. Brisket so juicy it's practically melting on your plate. I didn't even like coleslaw until I came here. Their toast is also top notch, it reminds me of Canes but with actual flavor. I've tried everything under the sun here, many times and not a single thing has disappointed. Each bite is a love letter to your taste buds - you think "oh this bite couldn't possibly be as good as the last one" and next thing you know you need to be carried out to your car.
You can also take things home if you are early enough. I've had friends bring home brisket for dinner parties and it is also wonderful. They package it all up nicely and hot for you. Try as many sides and you can stomach, they're all unbelievable. It's hard to really give you a good full picture because this is like barbecue Mecca, prepare for an out of body experience.
Show up early, I'm not sure how bad the line is these days but I've waited 45 mins and I've also waited 1.5 hours. It's always worth it. Boy I should go back. I love this place. A true five star gem.
