SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS.   Cozy Scott Ja-Mamas enjoys fine status as one of the area's best barbecue dives, and identifying two or three standouts on the menu is impossible since everything tastes so good! Follow the "Hot Barbecue" neon sign, and you'll find finger-licking spare ribs, barbecued chicken, and shredded pork, along with a selection of sauces: mild, medium, or hot (and they do mean HOT!). Consider throwing a twice-baked potato into the mix, too. Come early for lunch, because seating is often limited. If you do have to wait, check out the eclectic decor, which includes poker-playing dog art and newspaper clippings.   (© 10Best)

Like one of the other reviewers, I am a BBQ fanatic. I like my 'Q' Carolina, 'Bama, Memphis, Texas or KC style. In other words, I'm not picky. But Scott Ja-Mamas pork sandwich was a disappointment to me. My sandwich was covered in sauce - I mean drenched. If there was any smoky flavor to the meat at all, it was impossible to detect. If I were to go back again, and I probably won't since I didn't like the sauce either (I only tried the hot one -btw, not very hot), I'd ask for the sauce on the side.

Don't waste your time or money. I love ribs and have tried them all over the US. But these ribs were the worst I've ever tried to eat; they were tiny, dry, and had little or no meat. I used the online menu to order 2 full racks for takeout. The cole slaw listed on the online menu was only a piece of whole wheat bread, the online prices were 15% lower than the actual price, and 2 full racks were barely enough for one adult. I'm sure they're great people and they seemed friendly, but the ribs [are horrible]. Don't waste your time.
