Little Griddle: The Complete Buyer's Guide
By Reed · Reviewed October 2026
The quick answer
Little Griddle is the Wisconsin-made stainless-steel griddle brand that invented the "grill-top griddle" category — a flat-top you drop ON an existing BBQ grill so you don't need to buy a separate Blackstone . Made in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Who is Little Griddle?
Little Griddle is the Wisconsin-made stainless-steel griddle brand that invented the "grill-top griddle" category — a flat-top you drop ON an existing BBQ grill so you don't need to buy a separate Blackstone. The Party-Q and Sizzle-Q are the volume models: 14-15" stainless griddles with raised side walls to contain the grease.
The pitch is simple: if you've already got a Weber, Bull, or Hestan grill, a Little Griddle gives you Blackstone-style smash-burger + breakfast capability without buying another appliance or sacrificing patio space. Stainless means it cleans like a skillet — no re-seasoning, no cast-iron fussing.
Also carries a line of grill pans, vegetable baskets, and griddle-specific stainless cookware. Low-ticket brand — most SKUs under $100. Fast ships out of Wisconsin.

When Little Griddle is the wrong choice
Little Griddle isn't the right fit for every buyer. Appleton, Wisconsin-made manufacturing adds cost that competitors overseas skip If your budget is below the entry tier, or your install is temporary, or you're sourcing a single piece without the matching outdoor-kitchen ecosystem, ask us for a side-by-side with alternatives we also carry — getting the brand match right matters more than any single feature on the spec sheet.

Little Griddle — the questions buyers actually ask
Why would I buy a grill-top griddle instead of a dedicated Blackstone?
You already own a grill. A grill-top griddle like the Party-Q turns it into a dual-purpose cooker — grill one night, smash-burger the next — without buying another appliance, finding patio space for it, or storing two grill covers. Trade-off: smaller cook surface than a dedicated griddle.
Does the stainless really clean like a skillet?
Yes — 304 stainless doesn't need seasoning like cast iron. Burnt-on stuff comes off with a Bar Keepers Friend + scrubbie pad. No re-seasoning cycle after every cook.
Which model should I pick?
The Party-Q (PQ-1510, 15"×10") is the volume pick at $59.99 — fits any grill with 2+ burners. The Sizzle-Q steps up to a slightly larger footprint for 3+ burner grills.
What grills does it fit?
Any grill with grates. Little Griddles are flat trays with handles — the heat source doesn't matter (gas, charcoal, pellet). We've tested on Weber Genesis, Bull Angus 30, Hestan GSBR 36, and Blackstone griddle tables as a secondary surface.
Can I use metal spatulas on it?
Yes — stainless steel is bulletproof against metal utensils. That's actually one of the sell-points over seasoned cast iron or non-stick coated griddles.
