The best! I've had bbq of all kinds all over. This is hands down the best pork bbq you can get. The ribs were a super but the whole hog bbq is to die for. Make sure you get a red rock to wash it down. Friendly folks in an environment that feels like it hasn't changed. That's why it's legendary.

The best in town...better than their competitors. Great day trip out to Hemingway for BBQ!

Best BBQ ever! Fire wood and cooked over night! Best in town! Service is top notch! Love it! People are down to earth and wonderful! Love it! Thank you for years of loyalty!

Pulled porch & chicken were flavorful & juicy. The baked beans were probably the best that we have ever had. Went back and got an additional order to take with us!! Big portion and outdoor seating. Cash only.

Traveling through SC and lucky to be around the area on a day it's open, not exactly on our way but we made it on our way. CASH ONLY. Got there early on a Wednesday and tried the chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and the 3 sides offered. That plate was hefty! My partner and I shared and still had leftovers. Couldn't believe how much food we got for the price. The chicken was great, the pulled pork was AMAZING, the ribs were my least favorite and they were still really good. The vinegar sauce is magical and I want to marry it. The sides were all meh and if I went back I wouldn't order any but the slaw. The ladies inside were super nice and patient with us because we just wanted everything. Definitely worth going out of the way for.

Real deal. Deeply embedded flavor, smoked to perfection. For my palette, just the right spice in the vinegar sauce. Rural location but worth the ride. Cash only and BBQ Plate under $13 with 2 sides. Darn glad that we had leftovers to enjoy another day!

Welp, got their 5 minutes too late to enjoy some whole hog bbq. Drove all the way from Dallas, TX and missed my one shot for their famous whole hog. Still kinda upset about it if you can't tell lol. Btw, they're cash only! Cash only people, be ready. Because that's why we missed out on the whole hog. Arrived ready to eat with no cash. Left to go get cash. Came back and they were out of whole hog. Anyways the ribs were fantastic. Even despite the fact they were kind of cold lol. They were still pretty dang good! Super super smoky. Totally tasted like backyard ribs. The chicken was ... chicken. Pretty good. Nothing to write home about. My potato salad was swimming/drowning in mayo. Tasted like Walmart, which honestly I wasn't totally mad at. One day I will be back for their whole hog. Mark my words!

We took a BBQ road trip to Hemingway to check out the original location of Rodney Scott's bbQ joint. I've been a fan for decades. Following his rise to fame and eating my weight in delicious smoked pork! Rodney is a legend and has won accolades and international fame as a James Beard winner. It started here! This hole on the wall BBQ restaurant is worth the hype! They grill whole hogs and use a vinegar based sauce (my favorite style). There are picnic tables across the street. Order a tea, BBQ and some sides and taste the love!

No kidding...I think I can safely say that this is THE best BBQ I have ever had! After watching a show back a few years ago on UNC-tv ( NC's PBS station) called A Chef's Table - BBQ about Rodney Scott's BBQ - we couldn't wait to try it on our next visit to Charleston. Since then, we have visited the place every time we go to Charleston and hit RS BBQ as our pilgrimage! The ribs are absolutely amazing- they were smoky, flavorful & meaty. I am not a fan of the mushy, falling of the bone, tasteless ribs that I find too often at bbq joints. The quality of the meat here, combined with the master bbq skills of Mr. Scott and that killer spicy vinegar mop sauce is just heaven! Cooked in a smokehouse attached to the restaurant, the "whole hog bbq" is nothing like what you're used to. The whole hog is smoked very slowly over hardwood coals to a juicy & tender finish but the meat bites back! That's a good thing- like the difference between a factory farm chicken and a local one. Night and day!! Not to besmirch the other offerings like his pulled pork, brisket and smoked chicken wings as they are epically good, too! Oh... and our favorite sides - done so southern - the collards, hush puppies, cornbread and mac & cheese! Must haves along with all the above! Tip: we always go on a Sunday for lunch before we drive back to Asheville. This will be our only meal of the day! We order way too much, eat some and take the rest back home with us to enjoy for another day! That usually holds us till our next RS-BBQ craving when we get back in the car and make the pilgrimage again!! Great food, great experience and always satisfying!
