Mama Jo's Chicken, Biscuits, BBQ: Reviews & Ratings
I went to Mama Jo's Biscuits and BBQ on Colfax in the former Snapping Dogs place. Nice solid menu for BBQ meats + Fried chicken. Low key decor with picnic tables. You order at the counter and they call your name when it's ready. They offer 2 draft beers, 10 cans and canned wine along with soda. I got the 1/4 rack (3 ribs) with fried green tomatoes, collard greens, a large biscuit and soda. No condiments on picnic tables, so dispense any of 6 sauces & honey in small cups. I liked the Kansas City Sauce best. They have a choice of three desserts.
Picked up takeout from Mama Jo's on Saturday. The ribs and brisket were both so tender and juicy, best BBQ I've had in Denver. Service was also great, staff was friendly, you can tell they care. Very happy this place popped up in my neighborhood!
This is my new favorite place in Denver! Inside is really cute, the staff is so friendly, and the food is incredible. All the sauces are unique and fantastic. Highly recommend trying!
The food was amazing!!! such good BBQ, they even had a vegetarian option of smoked jackfruit! The banana cream pie was out of this world tasty and the fried green tomatoes were so delicious. Can't wait to enjoy the leftover for lunch tomorrow.
Review for Mama Joe's Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich If you're craving a massive, juicy Nashville hot chicken sandwich, Mama Joe's is the place to go. This thing is huge--seriously, you might need both hands and a strategy to tackle it. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, with just the right amount of heat, while staying ridiculously tender and juicy inside. The pimento mac and cheese? Absolute perfection. Creamy, cheesy, and with that little Southern kick that makes you want to order an extra side just to take home. Now, if I had one tiny complaint, it's the soda cups--they're on the smaller side, and with a spicy sandwich like this, you might be making extra trips for refills. Also, the price is a bit on the higher end, but when you bite into that sandwich, you'll understand why. Overall, Mama Joe's delivers--big flavors, big portions, and one seriously memorable meal. If you're a fan of Nashville hot chicken, this one is worth every bite.
10/10! My chef husband and I came for lunch today. Chef husband is important because he has notes for EVERYTHING. No notes. Just constant "mmm" sounds. Must get dessert and get the fried banana pie! Will be back!
All made from scratch. The biscuits are made with real butter and smoked Gouda cheese. Flaky and buttery! Love the smoked meats, Cole slaw, hush puppies, sauces fried green tomatoes and desserts. Generous portions. Pay a visit!!
