Full Speed Chicken and Ribs, a new concept developed by Little Miss BBQ founders Scott and Bekke Holmes, is now open at 513 E. Roosevelt St. Focused on Southern and Nashville hot fried chicken and biscuits as well as pecan-smoked pork ribs and pulled pork, Full Speed Chicken and Ribs is already set for expansion in the coming year.
The concept for Full Speed Chicken and Ribs developed as a brainstorm during the pandemic. Scott and Bekke purchased a fryer and began developing recipes for a simple – yet insanely delicious – menu of their favorite things: chicken, ribs, pulled pork and biscuits. Fresh sides and scratch-made desserts are also part of the menu at Full Speed.
“We’re really excited about bringing simple and excellently executed Southern and Nashville staples to the Phoenix area and serving our guests in a fun and welcoming environment,” Holmes said. “What started as a brainstorm has developed into a concept that we feel can be recreated anywhere. We look forward to introducing Full Speed Chicken and Ribs to other areas of the Valley next year.”
With a purposefully small menu, the focus is on exceptional quality and a superior guest experience.
Fried chicken offerings include everything from tenders to leg quarters (including the thigh and drumstick), fried to a golden perfection and served with guests’ choice of southern, medium or “hottie hot hot” flavors. Pork ribs are available by the half rack or full rack; diners can even order a single rib. Sides include crunchy crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, thick, rich BBQ pork and beans and creamy mac and cheese.
Sandwiches include anything-but-traditional Pulled Pork and Chicken options and The Roosevelt Chicken Biscuit featuring a fried chicken breast, “comeback” sauce and pickles piled high on a house-made buttermilk biscuit. Other items include Pimento Cheese and Crackers, the Southwest Salad, “This & That Fries” loaded with pulled pork or fried chicken and the Strawberry Shortcake Biscuit for dessert.
Full Speed Chicken and Ribs is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The restaurant offers online ordering via its website and catering for parties and small gatherings. For more about Full Speed Chicken and Ribs, visit eatfullspeed.com.
