The husband-and-wife team of Scott and Bekke Holmes bring a taste of Central Texas-style barbecue to Phoenix at Little Miss BBQ. Inspired by family trips home to Austin, they opened this location in 2014 (with a second one in 2018). With Scott as pitmaster and Bekke as the baker, this dream team sweats the details, and that attention is evident in everything they serve. Moist, rich brisket is sliced to order, with a thick smoke line and subtle coating of black pepper. The turkey breast, dipped back into its liquid before wrapping, is delicious. The "available Thursday only" pastrami holds a deep, almost beet-red color with a flavorful layer of pepper rub. Notable sides include the jalapeño cheddar grits, served piping hot with wonderful texture and just a touch of spice, while the cowboy beans are slow cooked with the meat, giving them a flavorful, smoky quality.
