The MICHELIN Guide's Best Restaurants in Charleston

"A thick haze of sweet smoke wraps around this handsome brick building, and the line of people waiting is a testament to Rodney Scott’s whole-hog barbecue being a local rite of passage (true fans still drive 1.5 hours north to the original in Hemingway). With a family history of raising hogs and running a variety store and restaurant since 1972, the menu is expansive but the pulled pork is the real gem—soft as cotton candy and ready to be sopped in an electric sauce of vinegar, lemon juice, and spices—rounded out by tender collard greens, gooey mac and cheese, and a fantastic apple hand pie; the drive-through window is a useful option for those in a hurry." - The MICHELIN Guide
