Scott Ja-Mamas Restaurant
(Restaurants - Best Value)
3 W Diamond Lake Rd, Minneapolis  55419 • 612-823-4450
Description: 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.
Hours:
Wed-Fri 11am-9pm; Sat Noon-9pm

Don't look to dine in. This is by far the best BBQ in Minneapolis. Perfect balance between sweet and hot without leaving you feeling like you ate a half a salt lick. BBQ sandwiches as big as your head! High on taste, high on friendly family pride and service. A "wabisabi" feeling in the small front of the business. LOW on price. High value, low price makes this a PERFECT 10!

By far the best BBQ in the Twin Cities. Be careful not to blink or you will drive right by it.
