Little Miss BBQ is built around providing our idea of amazing central Texas style barbecue and to be the best part of your day. We use labor intensive techniques using Arizona white oak, pecan, pistachio and mesquite firewood in smokers that we designed using all of our knowledge about what it takes to create amazing barbecue. We use prime beef sourced from a single rancher who we believe creates

the best tasting beef in the US. We then use our technique, simple seasoning and clean burning smokers to try and highlight the amazing beef, pork and turkey to highlight the quality without it getting lost in sauce and crazy flavors. The barbecue is served meat market style which is deli style where you can order as much or as little as you like or for simplicity we offer plates and sandwiches. Our line and service moves a little slower this way but we believe you deserve to see the meat being sliced in front of you by people that want you to get the very best. We love doing what we do and it's a crazy passion that we have to put out our best.

Welcome Scott Holmes to the OC Smoke Show.

Scott and his wife, Bekke, fell in love with barbecue after a 2006 trip to the Salt Lick, launching Little Miss BBQ in 2009 on the KCBS competition circuit, where they became one of the top teams in the Southwest. In 2014, they opened their Phoenix restaurant. In 2026, Scott was named a James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef – Southwest, and Little Miss BBQ was voted Best BBQ Restaurant in the US by Yelp Elite.

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from all of us at Little Miss BBQ! 🇺🇸

Fireworks are great… but let’s make sure you’ve got something worth celebrating on the plate first.

Both Little Miss BBQ locations are open today, July 4th, from 11 AM–5 PM, serving up Central Texas-style barbecue until we’re sold out or the clock says it’s time to head home and celebrate.

Whether you’re feeding the whole crew or just grabbing a brisket sandwich before the festivities, we’ve got the smoke rolling and the pits fired up.

Have a safe, fun, and delicious Fourth of July. Here’s to 250 years of freedom, family, friends, and great barbecue. 🇺🇸🔥

Happy Father’s Day from Little Miss BBQ! 👔🔥

This Sunday, our Sunnyslope location is open from 11 AM–3 PM, so give Dad what he really wants: great BBQ and the chance to tell the same jokes he’s been workshopping since 1997.

Speaking of Dad jokes…

🥩 Why did the brisket go to therapy?
Because it had too much beef.

🍖 Why don’t BBQ pitmasters ever get lost?
They always follow the smoke signals.

🔥 What did Dad say when he finished his plate?
“Well, I was going to mow the lawn, but now I need to supervise this recliner.”

Bring Dad by for brisket, ribs, and all the fixings. The jokes are free, the BBQ is worth every bite, and the memories are even better.

📍 Sunnyslope Location
⏰ Father’s Day Hours: 11 AM–3 PM

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, BBQ dads, and anyone who’s ever said, “Looks like they’re giving it away!” when an item won’t scan.

We are honored to celebrate an incredible milestone, Ryan Clark's 10-year anniversary with Little Miss BBQ.



For a decade, Ryan has been a cornerstone of who we are and what we do. While many people see the finished product on the tray, those of us who have had the privilege of working alongside Ryan know the countless hours, dedication, and craftsmanship that go into creating BBQ at the highest level.



Ryan is a true master of his craft. His knowledge of meat, fire, smoke, and technique is second to none. Through years of relentless commitment to excellence, he has helped shape the standards that define Little Miss BBQ today. His attention to detail, consistency, and pride in his work have influenced countless team members and have played a major role in building our reputation as one of the premier barbecue destinations in the country.



What makes Ryan special goes far beyond his technical skill. He leads through action, humility, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. He has been a mentor, teacher, and trusted teammate to so many people who have walked through our doors over the last ten years. His willingness to share knowledge, support others, and hold himself to the highest standards has left a lasting impact on our culture.



Ten years in this industry is a remarkable accomplishment. Ten years of excellence, consistency, and dedication is even rarer.



Ryan, thank you for the early mornings, the long days, the countless briskets, and the passion you've poured into Little Miss BBQ. Thank you for helping build this company into what it is today and for setting an example of craftsmanship and professionalism that inspires everyone around you.



Please join us in congratulating Ryan Clark on 10 incredible years with Little Miss BBQ.



Here's to celebrating a decade of BBQ mastery and to many more years ahead.



Thank you, Ryan.

👔 Dad says he doesn’t want anything for Father’s Day.

Dad is also hoping someone shows up with a whole brisket.

This year, skip the tie, the mug, and the last-minute gift card. Give Dad what he really wants: BBQ.

Father’s Day preorders are now open at Little Miss BBQ! From whole briskets and racks of ribs to all the sides and desserts needed to complete the feast, we’ve got your Father’s Day covered.

📍 Whole meat pickup available Saturday at our University location.
📍 Whole meat pickup available Saturday and Sunday at our Sunnyslope location.

Because nothing says “Thanks for teaching me how to ride a bike, change a tire, and work the remote” quite like smoked meat.

🍖 Preorder now and make Dad the happiest guy at the table.
