Mama Jo's Chicken, Biscuits, BBQ — Restaurant in Denver

I’ve tried this place twice now because I live nearby. I’m not returning again. First time was a Fri night and I ate there. It was ok but nothing special. I had the rib special and the ribs were dry and cooked poorly. The mac n cheese was also meh. Collard greens tasted sweet so no thank you. It was also impossible to hear the names they were calling out for order ready. Straight garble. Second time was a to-go order. Pulled pork and Nashville chicken sandwiches. Pork was too vinegary and yet still noticeably sweet. A true culinary accomplishment. The chicken was easily one of the worst chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Upon dissection I think it was chicken thigh meat, possibly thigh mixed with deboned leg? It was rubbery and impossible to bite through. All sorts of nasty, inedible portions with a disgusting mouth feel. Then we have the actual flavor of the sauce. Sugar with an afterthought of heat. ?? Gross. The overwhelming theme here for me was SWEET. Everything was sweet. My food palate and the food palate of whoever is concocting recipes here do not jive at all. I also was expecting that I would receive a made to order sandwich, but received a soggy sandwich that was made prior and sitting in foil under a heat lamp. For $16 I presumed it would be a...

Killer BBQ hidden in the Colfax construction chaos - Brave the traffic and GO TRY !!! *

I'm literally stuffing my face as I write this review - I couldn't wait until I finished my entree before writing this review.

Their BBQ is so savory, tangy and cozy in all of the right ways.

We ordered for my husband's birthday and it's our first time trying. I'm already considering my next order even tho I have yet to finish my first ever order with them.

I got the BBQ pulled pork plate with fried beans and fried green tomatoes WITH a fresh biscuit on the side. GAWD this was so scrumptious!!!

This place is a DREAM - I love BBQ and I'm so grateful we have a phenomenal BBQ in the midwest where it tends to be rare to nail and get it right.

We can't wait to try their fried chicken and wings (during their "Wing Wednesdays").

Definitely give this place a shot despite the construction on East Colfax. Worth the reasonable price and traffic hassle. Your belly will...

Ohhhhh weeeee! Finally found a worthy bbq spot in Denver! Mama Jo’s was legit. Small parking lot but plenty of street side parking. The space is small so you go in and order and seat yourself. The menu is straight forward for bbq and is executed well! We orders 2 bbq plates one with Brisket (only offered Saturdays) with pimento mac and cheese and coleslaw and the other Ribs with tots and collard greens. Added in a side of sausage as well. We had enough food to bring home generous left overs. Plenty of dipping sauce options, and both plates came with a biscuit which was the start of the show sooooo flaky and delicious. The price was a bit much $75 for 2 plates! But the food was delicious and we can’t wait to go back. Also they have jackfruit which is a vegetarian option for those non meat eaters. I was impressed and can’t...
