Finally made time to stop by and was more impressed than I expected to be. I knew the food would be good, but I was also floored by how great the service was and the family oriented nature of the place. My 7 YO had plenty of options while Mom and dad got to enjoy the BBQ.

There is something that puzzles me about Rodney Scott’s BBQ in Charleston. Why is a disco ball hanging in the dining room? Maybe I should have asked an employee, but I didn’t. Other than the disco ball, everything at Rodney Scott’s made sense. The dining area is comfortable and casual. It was nearly full when we dined there on a Sunday mid-afternoon, and some people had ventured outside to dine on the outside tables. It was a very warm summer day, so I was impressed that the picnic-style outdoor tables had fans to help keep the diners comfortable. Very nice! Our party split the Pitmaster Combo, which includes a variety of smoked meats and four sides. Everything was delicious, though the brisket was a touch on the dry side. The chicken and turkey, however, were moist and flavorful and the pulled pork was lean. We especially enjoyed the flavorful sausage that came with the combo. For sides, we got mac and cheese, collard greens, fries, and baked beans. All were very good. The flavor of the collard greens and baked beans complimented the smoked meats nicely, and the seasoning on the crispy fries was really good. All in all, Rodney Scott’s BBQ is an excellent choice for some southern barbecue! But what’s up with that disco ball?

Everyone in my party of 6 seemed to enjoy their food except for my husband and me. The collards were too spicy, the catfish was under-seasoned as well as the hush puppies. My son and I debated about the macaroni and cheese. He liked it. I found it to be lacking cheese and the macaroni was chewy and firm. But the banana pudding was absolutely delicious.

It would be 5 stars if I was only rating the wings, they were some of the best I’ve bet had. The dry rub was spot on! We ordered a platter with ribs, brisket, pulled pork, fries, cornbread and collard greens. The pulled pork was amazing and the ribs were very good! All of the sides were decent but the brisket was dried out we were expecting much better.

I visited Rodney Scott’s BBQ after spending a day in downtown Charleston. I wanted to stop in after watching a YouTube video where Rodney Scott was featured. When we arrived, we were able to find parking. The parking lot is rather small, but it was empty due to the time of day that we went. The overall look of the restaurant was cute. There was plenty of outdoor seating, but it was raining so we opted to sit indoors. Once inside, my party of four found a table and we looked over menus. You must place your order at the register, then you are given a number to place in the holder on your table and a cup for your beverages. You must get your drinks from the soda/juice fountain yourself.

I’ve eaten a lot of BBQ in my days and this is definitely one of the best. We split the Pitmaster Combo so we could be sure to try everything. The chicken, whole hog and pulled pork were all great examples of their kind. All were juicy and tender but they really shined as delivery mechanisms for the great array of sauces. The vinegar, lemon, pepper zest of Rodney’s Sauce in particular was a unique and delicious complement for them.

The best BBQ in the world is the one you have in your backyard with friends and family. The second best BBQ I’ve had is at Rodney Scott’s. If you’re in Charleston, do yourself a favor and do not miss this world-class barbecue experience. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, and the food was phenomenal! I loved the whole hog pulled pork with Rodney’s Sauce, the ribs were tender and meaty, and the brisket was smoked to perfection. My son and I shared a platter, and he was especially loving the collards and mac & cheese. I’m a tough rater on Google, but this spot gets a well-deserved 5 stars all around.

I’ve had plenty of BBQ and many don’t live up to the hype. Trust me the BBQ here does! The building is.not real big,, but they do offer plenty of outdoor seating that has overhead fans for comfort. The service was fast and people very friendly! Will definitely be coming back on my next trip to Charleston.
