Mama Jo's Biscuits and BBQ

A lot can happen in four years: Just ask husband-and-wife duo Ben and Jodi Polson, who launched their food truck, Mama Jo’s, in 2021. Recently, they took their business to the next level by opening a brick-and-mortar location in the former home of Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs on Colfax. The inspiration for the original food truck concept came from Jodi’s buttermilk smoked Gouda biscuit, which, combined with Ben’s passion for barbecue, created the perfect pairing. The new space allows Mama Jo’s to serve all of its beloved dishes and more. The Nashville hot chicken biscuit is a fan favorite, and the barbecue platters with sides like collard greens and pimento mac and cheese are crave-worthy. If you’re a banana pudding fan, Jodi’s fried banana pudding pie is a must-try, as are the apple fritters.
