As in "You got your mama's barbecue?" If not, find the real McCoy at this tiny joint on the corner of Nicollet Avenue and Diamond Lake Road. (Head west on Diamond Lake, but don't go too fast, it's easy to miss.) The baby back ribs are tender and meaty, not at all greasy, and the sauce is melted in, instead of just slathered on top. All dinner combos--pork and steak sandwiches, barbecue chicken and ribs--come with creamy coleslaw that packs a lively kick, as well as bacon-studded twice-baked potatoes. And all for under $7! You can eat in if there's room around one of the two tables. But they're really for resting your elbows while you jawbone with Scott as he packages orders and offers advice and opinions through the kitchen window. Breathing in that sweet smoky smell of long-cooking meat will send you home right. Call ahead.
