Our Take
The Spot
Mama Jo's brings Carolina-style barbecue and Southern comfort food to City Park, built around biscuit sandwiches, hickory-smoked meats, and fried chicken made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients and family recipes. The setup is order-at-the-window, with picnic-table seating that leans into a small-town, roadside feel rather than a sit-down dining room.

Regulars come back for the pulled pork and buttermilk fried chicken biscuits, along with sides like smoked beans, tots, collard greens, hush puppies, and apple fritters. House-made pickles round out a menu built for quick, straightforward orders.

Mama Jo's was named a Westword best of 2025 pick.
