Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina. Specializing in pulled pork barbecue and owned by Rodney Scott and Nick Pihakis, it opened in February 2017.

Description

The restaurant is in Charleston, South Carolina, and can seat close to 128 diners.[1] Drive-through and delivery are also available.[2][3] It specializes in pulled pork barbecue slow-smoked with hardwood charcoal and served with a spicy vinegar sauce.[1][4] Scott uses MSG, which he calls a "flavor maker", in his spice rub.[5] Other dishes on the menu include fried catfish,[1] a rib eye steak sandwich, spare ribs, and banana pudding.[1][6]

History

Rodney Scott was raised in the hamlet of Nesmith, South Carolina. His parents, Roosevelt and Ella, were hog farmers who opened the Hemingway-based Scott's Variety Store and Bar-B-Q around 1972.[1] Having assumed full ownership of Scott's Bar-B-Q in 2011, Scott partnered with restaurateur Nick Pihakis to expand the family business. Their joint venture, Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ, opened in February 2017.[1] The restaurant's premises previously belonged to fried chicken restaurant Chick’s Fry House.[7] Scott and the restaurant were featured in the third episode of the Netflix food documentary series Chef's Table BBQ (2020).[8] Following the release of the Chef's Table episode, the restaurant "set sales records three days in a row", with queues lasting for up to an hour.[2]

Post and Courier wrote that the food at Rodney Scott's BBQ was a "shade less satisfying" than that of the family restaurant in Hemingway.[15]
