Delicious! Great atmosphere great service.

5/5 by Bethany T. on 08/05/2022

Employees looked happy! Food was so so good! Best collard greens I have ever eaten in my life, must get! The flys were annoying but that's not the restaurant's fault

5/5 by Lennon T. on 08/05/2022

While on vacay down in Charleston this was #1 on my list of places to eat at. Did not disappoint at all. The chicken and bbq were both smoked to perfection and the Alabama white sauce was incredible. The sides were amazing too the Mac n cheese and collard greens were some of the best ever. Do yourself a favor and definitely stop by if your in the area.

Save your money

1/5 by marie3863 on 08/02/2022

We were excited to have southern bbq for dinner. While we were in line at Raymond Scott’s on King Street, another patron told us not to order the pork because it was very dry. So, we ordered a platter with brisket and Turkey instead. The absolute driest meat we’ve eaten. Not inexpensive either. $80 for 2 of us, not to mention that we spent almost $20 in Ubers to get there and back to our hotel when we could have gone elsewhere instead. Save your money and don’t bother. The employees were Informative and knowledgeable and kept the restaurant clean.

🤢

We were very disappointed in our lunch here last Friday.

2/5 by Anita J. on 07/31/2022

I love his story, read his cookbook cover to cover, and love his family barbecue place in Hemingway where the barbecue is excellent! I had been wanting to come here for years. I got the barbecue sandwich with coleslaw and mac-n-cheese. The pork was absolutely bland. It was moist but had no flavor at all! The barbecue sauce they have on the table helped, but we drove 2 hours for the smoky whole hog flavor that is advertised, and it was nowhere to be found. The mac-n-cheese was good. Hubby got the brisket plate which was good but not great - and definitely not as good as we were expecting. Very disappointing. There are too many great places in Charleston to eat, so we probably won't go back. I'm sure we hit it on an off day. Good thing for us is that the Hemingway barbecue is only an hour away!

🙂

Our first meal in Charleston.

4/5 by Kait S. on 07/29/2022

Sadly the brisket and turkey were out so we got the two meat platter with pork, chicken, mac & cheese and fries. We also got the wings with Alabama sauce and these were by far the best thing we ate. Don't sleep on these, they're spiced to perfection and the sauce is just the cherry on top. Wasn't impressed by the meat platter chicken, definitely needed spices and sauce. Pork was really good and tender. Mac & cheese was average but the fries were pretty good. What really tainted the experience for me was the flies, they were relentless outside and there was no seating inside. Seems like an easy problem to solve with some fly tape but highly recommend waiting for a seat inside so you're not swatting the whole meal.

😍

AMAZING and Authentic.

5/5 by Jane Q. on 07/27/2022

Loved this spot. Staff was welcoming and attentive. I had the chopped salad and added the smoked Turkey. Turkey is my go to when smoking. It's was balanced and juicy. I added their house BBQ sauce and it was the most memorable sauce I ever had. I even added it to my fries! Sold out of apple pie so hope to try it on my next visit. Fellow Road Warriors do not miss this one!

😒

Don't be in a hurry 45 minute wait

3/5 by 4borzois on 07/26/2022

Good BBQ but very poor service. Young woman working the take out window was too busy socializing to keep up with orders. Won't go again. Lewis BBQ pleasant server's better BBQ

😒

Came to visit the renowned Rodney Scott's BBQ joint.

3/5 by Mike Z. on 07/25/2022

We went on a Monday lunch hour. We had a group of eight. I had high expectations and left slightly underwhelmed. Their Internet was down, and that meant extra long lines. We waited, nearly 40 minutes to order food. They were out of at least three dishes that I tried to order. I'm not sure what about the Internet being down caused such a back up. It seemed like the bottleneck was the one person working a register while 2 supervisors stood around.I've got to say that my entire group agreed that my backyard pork butt has better consistency and flavor than this did. The pork was cold, flavorless, and was mushy. I took a quarter pound home and heated it up. It was much better warm. Maybe the Wi-Fi took out their warmers too.The Pork skins, french fries, baked beans, and brisket were excellent. The mac & cheese was OK, but nothing notable.

😍

This BBQ wasn't on my list till I talked to some locals

5/5 by Arthur S. on 07/25/2022

This BBQ wasn't on my list till I talked to some locals about the ribs. Then after looking it up and realizing that Rodney Scott won a james beard award in 2018 for his whole hog cook, I had to try it while I was in the area. After trying the food I was amazed that it only had 4 stars on Yelp...come on! This has to be one of the best BBQ plates I've ever had. The pork...amazing. I used the original sauce with a touch of pork rub. I also tasted it without anything and you could taste Catherine slight smokiness of the the hickory. The vinegar based sauce complimented it well and gave it a slight spice. The chicken...small portion, but spectacular! The flavor was perfect as it was cooked. It was tender and juicy enough so it wasn't dry, but crisp enough on the outside. It paired perfectly with the Alabama white BBQ sauce. The ribs were and extra $4.99, but so worth it! They had plenty of rub on them, the fat was rendered out for the most part. I didn't need any extra sauce or rub on these bad boys, but I did try them all. I would say the original or the Alabama complimented the ribs the best for my palate. Collard greens were very tasty and had bit of meat in the greens as well. I'm assuming it was ham hocks. Cole slaw was great and refreshing with the bbq meats. If you're in the area, definitely stop by for a bite. I was a little jealous that I didn't get to try the 1/2 chicken, but I didn't have any extra room after sharing the 3 meat combo.

😍

I am a barbecue fan and have been since I was a kid but

5/5 by Ron M. on 07/25/2022

I am a barbecue fan and have been since I was a kid but honestly have gotten to the point where I feel like most peoples bbq is decent. A lot of friends rave about brisket and I have tried it at numerous places and was not a huge fan. I saw him on a BBQ Shia on Netflix and decided to stop in while I was visiting Charleston. I almost elected not to go because again I feel like its getting hard to mess up bbq unless you just don't know what you're doing. Anyway, I got the 3 meat special with Brisket, Turkey, and Chicken. Well, Everything was seasoned better than any place I've ever had and am upset that I didn't even get ribs. If everyone's brisket was as tender and flavorful as this, I would eat it weekly. I feel like any other place I try at this point will be a downgrade.

😍

Hemingway

5/5 by Art G on 07/22/2022

1st ate @Rodney's at the original, much more like a true Q "shack". The Charleston location doesn't have the same ambience and at the same the Q is still great. This Southern boy loves Rodney's Q1 5 ratings all around.

😍

Ordered the half slab of ribs.

5/5 by Jeffery B. on 07/22/2022

These are not baby back ribs, these are full sized. This was enough for two of us, glad we decided to split it.The meat was probably the most flavorful bbq I've ever had, with delicious flavor all the way thru, not just riding on the surface.Choice of sauces are various SC style vinegary options, no sweet sauce if that's what you're used to Definitely the best bbq in Charleston.

😍

The ribs will change your life.

5/5 by Aaron F. on 07/21/2022

The chicken too. Don't ask any other ridiculous questions. Go. Now. If you go on a Saturday, we got there at 11:30 and the line took us maybe 5-10 minutes to get through. We got the bbq sandwich (with the pork rinds on top), a three meat combo and a side of fries (in addition to the other sides you already get). Quite simply, one of the best bbq places I've ever been to. Although if you sit outside in summer, plan on a ton of flies.

😒

Meh

3/5 by Mitch G on 07/16/2022

Food was ok, but nothing special. Pretty expensive for the quality. $100 for two combo platters. There are definitely better options in Charleston.

😒

Just Average

3/5 by David K on 07/09/2022

A stop here was planned on our trip from Massachusetts to Florida. We technically drove 200 miles out of the way to get great BBQ but that wasn't really the case. As we walked from the parking lot we passed the part of the building that house to smokers and grills and the promise of great BBQ filled our nostrils. The dining area was crowded with diners and there was a short line to order. We ordered pulled pork sandwiches and a half rack of ribs. We ordered Mac-n-Cheese, Hushpuppies, and Corn Bread for sides. The sides were fantastic. The ribs made the trip to eat here worth it. However, the pulled pork sandwiches were lackluster and had zero flavor. There was no seasoning and the meat was bland. There were sauces on the table but also weren't very flavorful and one was just vinegar according to one of the staff. If Rodney Scott's is to be considered great BBQ it needs some serious attention to how the food is presented. I probably wouldn't recommend that anyone travel a great distance to get mediocre BBQ.

🤮

Really disappointed

1/5 by Susan M on 06/23/2022

After hearing so much hype about this place, we were really disappointed. The pulled pork was mushy and had no flavor...almost tasted like it was boiled not smoked. None of us were impressed with any of the sauces on the table. They were watery cooking sauces. The side dishes were okay,but nothing spectacular. Mac n cheese was dry, baked beans and collards were good. We won’t be going back to this highly overrated place.

😒

Have to admit, I was disappointed

3/5 by madzim07 on 06/06/2022

Rodney Scott's BBQ was one of my must do's when we visited. I have to admit, I was underwhelmed. We did get a 3 meat platter with turkey, pork and brisket along with wings. The wings were the best item. None of the meats were outstanding. The hush puppies were very heavy. We found that you had to use sauce to get any flavor on the meats. The staff was not very attentive, so people were forced to sit at dirty tables. No one was telling people there were menus in a basket on the window so the line to order was very long with people having to use the one copy at the register to order. We did get there right when it opened, and within 30 minutes almost every table was taken. I was very disappointed with the entire experience . There are much better places to try.

🙂

Somewhat Disappointed

4/5 by Smithie83 on 06/06/2022

There were so many great reviews of this restaurant but it turned out to be a simply OK place to eat. The pulled pork was unremarkable and the hot sauce was very thin and runny. Everything just seemed to miss the mark. We had eaten at other BBQ places in Charleston and found them to offer tastier options.

🙂

Come for the hog stay for the brisket and fries

4/5 by Jeffrey B on 06/06/2022

I know Rodney is known for whole hog but I was blown away by his brisket, some of the best I have ever had and the fries are kind of ridiculous. Always love the corn bread which isn’t always something I find in Charleston.

Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability

😍 5/5 Review by ExpressionisticSuggestion35 (10/29/2022 8:09 pm)

I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.

It works!

🙂 4/5 Review by ChattyPeace47 (09/04/2022 2:30 pm)

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.

Excellent Idea!

🙂 4/5 Review by FamousStation67 (05/19/2022 8:11 pm)

This app is filling a void - there's a real market to tap into here. It's just annoying to see some reservations getting sold out here that end up in a no show - the restaurants aren't benefiting in such cases unless they charge a no-show fee. Besides this issue, I'm looking forward to the app community growing and would love to continue to contribute towards it's growth in any way that I can!

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
