Pitmaster Rodney Scott started cooking at his family’s restaurant in rural South Carolina when he was 14 years old. In 2017, Rodney realized his dream to start his own restaurant and along with his partners opened Rodney Scott's BBQ in Charleston, SC. The very next year Rodney was awarded the James Beard Award for Best Chef Southeast. In addition to Charleston, there are now locations of Rodney Scott’s BBQ in Birmingham, Atlanta, with plans to grow in existing and new markets. Each location has working bbq pits and pitmasters trained in the techniques of live-coal cooking that Rodney grew up mastering. Our kitchens produce classic southern side dishes, burgers, salads and our bars offer specialty cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. Our restaurants evoke the spirit of Rodney’s love of music and people gathering together over a table of great food. A disco ball spins and funk and soul music fills the air. Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ is a place for everyone where there are no strangers, everyone is family and "Every Day is a Great Day”
