South Carolina whole hog BBQ, ribs, chicken & Southern sides
"Award-winning pitmaster Rodney Scott opened an Atlanta location of his popular Charleston barbecue restaurant in 2021 across from the Met. Like Scott’s other locations, head in for South Carolina-style whole hog barbecue, ribs, chicken, and Southern sides, like collards, golden cornbread, and banana pudding, which can come by the pint or quart to go." - Candy Hom
"A short distance from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is Rodney Scott’s BBQ, an outpost of the award-winning restaurant from legendary pitmaster Rodney Scott. What sets it apart is the whole hog approach, cooked “low and slow” over the coals left over from burning hardwood." - Tori Allen
"Cueing up some Jeffrey Osborne or Isaac Hayes seems like a necessary prerequisite before pulling up to the parking lot of Rodney Scott’s BBQ. Why? Because everything feels so f*cking soulful inside. The West End counter service barbecue spot, named after the restaurant owner, is well-known for the whole-hog cooking style. Additionally, turkey, chicken wings, and brisket get their turn on the heat. And when a forkful of smokey meat pairs with a drizzle of the vinegary Rodney sauce, pucker up and prepare to start humming your favorite soulful love ballads." - demarco williams, jacinta howard
"The barbecue spot, named after the restaurant owner, is well-known for pit-cooked pork ($14.99) and turkey breast plates ($17.49). These meaty portions come out of the kitchen on big aluminum trays, so you can go full-on Jackson Pollock with the tableside sauces. When we dig into a forkful of smokey meat drenched in the vinegary Rodney sauce, we always say our grace again. We gotta be grateful for economical eats this good." - demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"Cueing up some Jeffery Osborne or Issac Hayes from your golden oldies playlist seems like a very necessary prerequisite before pulling up to the parking lot of Rodney Scott’s BBQ on the corner of Metropolitan Parkway and Bronner Brothers Way. Why? Because everything feels so f*cking soulful inside—from the creamy honey butter and hushpuppies to the collard greens seasoned with tender shreds of pork. So, like a classic jam, consider this the BBQ spot that'll unite all generations, backgrounds, and creeds over undeniable good food. Once inside you can order at the counter before taking your seat on one of the many communal picnic tables, which all hold a set of house barbecue sauces and seasonings. The BBQ spot is well-known for Scott’s pit-smoked whole hog cooking style. That hog is all dished up in the form of ribs, pulled pork, and even crispy pig skins, which are served bare for you to dress with the sauce or table seasoning of your preference. Additionally, turkey, chicken wings, and beef brisket also get their turn on the pit. But when a forkful of smokey meat pairs with a drizzle of the vinegary Rodney sauce, then pucker up and prepare to start humming your favorite soulful love ballads. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair" - Nina Reeder
