Editorial fromTucked into a tiny storefront on Diamond Lake Road, Scotty's has been kicking out ribs slathered in his Mama's secret sauce for quite some time. Vibrant and balanced between spicy and sweet, the sauce covers full and half-racks of ribs and…

Ribs? I thought it was the bottom of a sneaker! – The other day my work brought me by Scotts. I had seen a high rating on city search for it so I figured I'd stop in (Around 8pm). I ordered a full rack. Took them home and first tasted the sauce. It tasted pretty good. Then I tried a rib. Dry, No Meat, Oven Cooked, and poor quality. I was disappointed but thought maybe it was to late and got a bad rack. I stopped there today at 11:15am figured get them for lunch. Got back to the office. SAME THING! I dont know about you but I... read more
Best for catering parties – I do alot of catering to offices and at home. Everyone LOVES the BBQ Pork sandwiches and twice baked potatoes. But, what you don't know is that Scott himself does shredded chicken sandwiches too!! It is to die for. But, you have to specially order it, it's not on the menu. The ribs have been hit or miss for me too, but the shredded stuff is always excellent and easy to order by the pound, and works great in crock pots for large events.
Inspect the ribs before you leave! – Carry out only - i heard great things about this BBQ so i went there, the food was pretty good. the sauce was spicy and tasty. The slabs of ribs were pretty decent, meaty with lots of sauce. Second time I went there, the ribs were dried out, I mean Petrified dry. I carried out and didn't open the canister until I got home, so I didn't want to drive back 10 miles. So if you go to this place, open the ribs and inspect them before going out the door. $10 a person for half rack, pretty spendy... read more
Best ribs in the city – Scott's has the best ribs in Mpls. As other's have said you can miss the place if you don't pay attention and call ahead to order so you don't have to wait. The ribs are meaty, cooked to perfection and come with a midly sweet but spicy sauce. You can get mild, medium or spicy sauce. The spicy will cause the back of your neck to sweat! The twice baked potatoe is to die for. I hit Scott's up 2 to 3 times per month and it's well worth the drive from almost anywhere.
This place rocks!!!! – Never in my life have i felt so wonderful stuffing my face. The people there are so welcoming and friendly that its hard to leave once you've got your food. The ribs were spectacular not to mention the sauce. I would be content with this being the only place I ever eat out. When it comes to a comfy place to find a great deal, Scott-Ja-Mamas is the place to be. Thanks for giving the city a true feeling of home.
a hole in the wall with bbq gold – Right across the street from the Gas station, you gotta look hard or you are gunna miss it. Call ahead, there is like no space inside to wait. The food is cheap and abundant (though I never got a twice baked potato the size of anyone's foot) For $5 you can get a huge pork sandwich (very very messy and wet) coleslaw,& a bag of chips. I've had the chicken and the ribs too but that sandwich is sooo good and reasonable that's usually all I get. They don't advertise, apparently they are at full ... read more
Simply the Best Ribs – The ribs at this take-out only joint are the best I have tasted anywhere. They are flavoured with an irrestible sweet, fruity, and spicy sauce and are nice and tender. The staff is always friendly and the prices are reasonable. Call ahead to avoid a long wait.
ALMOST MISSED IT, BUT GLAD WE DIDN'T – THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED THERE WERE EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL AS WE WERE FIRST TIME GUESTS. WE EVEN GOT A FREE EXTRA STUFFED POTATO, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE NOT AS BIG AS WE HOPED, BUT YOU COULDN'T BEAT THE PRICE! THE RIBS HAD THAT DOWN HOME BACKYARD FLAVOR AND THE SAUCE WAS A GREAT TASTING CHANGE FROM FAMOUS DAVES AND RUDOLPHS. WE TOOK OUR FOOD HOME IN A GROCERY BAG AND HAD A LIP-SMACKING GOOD TIME! BY THE WAY, SCOTT'S IS LITERALLY A HOLE IN THE WALL, SO SLOW DOWN OR YOU JUST MIGHT MISS I... read more
Comes real close, but still lookin' – I've been searching for a BBQ joint to call home in the Twin Cities based upon my addiction to smoky, southern-style BBQ. I'm pretty washed out on the ultra-KC-sauced pork and beef roasts that pass for BBQ in this town. I've done Dave's, Baker's, Rudolph's, Market, Pickled Parrot... Scott's falls behind Baker's in ribs for me, but comes #1 so far for the BBQ Pork sandwich. That said, Ja-Mama's sauce is still too cloyingly sweet with not enough vinegar and smoothness, and the amount of pe... read more
