Delicious and affordable BBQ takeout joint that reminds me of a restaurant you'd find in a small town. Glad to have them in the heart of South Minneapolis. Their small dining area can only seat about 2-3 folks but is charming and seems to be packed with memories!

Parking: Limited parking out front at a busy intersection. There's plenty of free street parking nearby though.

Wheelchair accessibility: Does not seem easily accessible by wheelchair due to age of building.

First time ordering from this place and won't be the last. The price is amazing, and the flavor and value make the 15-minute car ride worth it. I got the half rib dinner with beans, and the beans were so hot but tasty. The ribs had great flavor, and I don't like Cole slaw, but this was pretty tasty as well.

Not just bad but REALLY bad. The ribs were gray and tasted like they were boiled in a pot of particularly bland water. Truly some of the worst food I've ever made the mistake of putting in my mouth. Avoid this place like the plague.

Nice location. Fun little spot to eat with lots of cool stuff on the walls. I read a lot of reviews before I went and nothing suggested this isn't a smoked meat BBQ place. Perhaps it's just me but BBQ is smoked. Service was good. Prices not bad for a BBQ place. Just disappeared it was not smoked (cooked on a gas grill I believe).

only five star reviews to this place.perfectly done ribs . oh man the barbecue sauce. always get extra because you're going to want to use it on other things after you have it you're going to want to make something else to dip into it.

This is the type of place I wish we had more of. Quick easy hole in the wall with amazing prices. I believe they are still family owned if that’s something important to you! :) been going here for over 12 years an has never disappointed. Ty Scott <3

First time I have ever had the pleasure to takeout food from Scott Jamama. We ordered for lunch. I am super impressed. The food was great. The service was great. I seriously contemplated ordering again for dinner tonight. Keep doing what you’re doing!
