Little Miss BBQ owners bring Full Speed Chicken and Ribs to Roosevelt Row

• The restaurant replaced another barbecue spot, Trapp Haus BBQ, which closed last year.
• Little Miss BBQ was going to open a third location on Central Avenue just south of Thomas Road but abandoned those plans last year after they became financially untenable.

Zoom in: The new restaurant specializes in — you guessed it — chicken and ribs.

• In addition to the ribs and Southern-style fried chicken thighs and tenders, they serve pulled pork.
• Their beer menu includes Full Speed Red Chili, which is specially made for the restaurant by Wren House Brewing, per Phoenix New Times.

What to try: Not wanting to limit myself, I went with both chicken and ribs.

• For your spice level on the chicken you can get "Southern," medium or "hottie hot hot," which, of course, is the hottest, so I went with that.
• On the side, I got mac and cheese and BBQ pork and beans.

• If I'd known about the specialty beer, I would've ordered one with my lunch. Maybe next time.

Best bites: The chicken was tender, juicy and delicious. The spice was kind of sweet up front, then the heat kicked in on the back end.

• The ribs were succulent, and I loved the shredded pork in the baked beans.

My thought bubble: I was disappointed Trapp Haus went out of business and also disappointed to not get a Little Miss BBQ location down the street from my neighborhood. But Full Speed is a great addition to the central Phoenix barbecue scene, and I'll definitely be going back.
