Scott Ja-Mamas

Maybe its because I'm not the biggest fan of bbq but this place really didn't excite my taste buds or maybe I just had too high of hopes for it to be great in my views. Went here on a tip from a customer of mine and when he said it was a hole in the wall he wasn't lying.
Theres tons of knick knacks all over the place and old newspaper reviews of the restaurant it really is meant just for takeout. They do CASH ONLY. And if you want the beans you need to call ahead because if not don't expect to get any they sell out quick.

The owners are super friendly and the portions are nice. The seasoning was alright the spicy is enough to give you a sting but not too bad where you can't eat anymore after a single bite. Only thing that would have brought my 3 to a 4 is if I hadn't gotten so many burnt pieces in my meal which consisted of ribs and chicken plus bread and a side of twice baked potato (which was BOMB in a goodway).

I'll stop back in the neighborhood to pick up another order hopefully this time around my beans will be available and the pieces aren't so burnt.

I walked in and it was like they knew I was coming and I was their best friend.  Maybe one of the friendliest places I've been to in a while (and not overly friendly).

Now on to the food: It is the right amount of BBQ for the right amount of mouth.  Not too spicy (and I love spice) and not too sweet, but it great mix of sauce on the chicken that I proceeded to devour.

Thought Scott Ja-Mamas is a hidden place in south mpls, it's worth it.  Plus, everyone on here says, "I love visiting local businesses and supporting local" well, here ya go, this should be #1 on your next local food (and #2).

By far one of the nicest owner operator joints. And the food is great to boot!

Ordered the ribs as well a rib and chicken combo, and enjoyed our meal immensely. I like the combo because it seems to be the best of both.

The order arrived quickly, and again can't rave enough how friendly the service was. Definitely be back!
