In Short
Inside, there are just two tables (and the chairs at one of them seem to be 90 percent duct tape), since most folks just get takeout. The menu is short and sweet: large and meaty racks of ribs, slathered with Scott's spicy, vinegary sauce, in mild, medium or hot. You can also order a half- or quarter-rack, barbecued chicken or a chicken-and-ribs combo. Bratwurst, steak and pork sandwiches are on the menu, too.

I had the spareribs and the chicken. The ribs were outstanding, but they were a little dry. The dryness takes them down a peg from the extreme top tier represented by Baker's Ribs and Qfanatic--but they are still very good and recommended. However, the chicken was a revelation; some of the best I've ever had, and certainly the best in the TC area that I've tried. I like their sauces, I had them blend mild and hot (they call this "mot"). They have very friendly service as well.

This place is hard to find, because it is just a hole in the wall, but they have the best ribs! The ribs are tender and have a great flavor, also the sides that they offer with the ribs are delicious. The food is filling and everything you could want from a rib place.

Drove 30 minutes out of our way only to be told they were out of ribs for 45 minutes. Out of Ribs? At a Rib Joint? We won't waste our time again.

It's not a bad idea to call in an order--this is a small place, and you don't want to be disappointed if they run out of ribs.
The Extras:
And that name? Owner Scott Woolsey says the it originated after softball games, when his friends would ask, "Scott, ya got ja mama's sauce?"
