We believe that everyone deserves the joy and convenience of having a local taco stand in their community, fostering a sense of togetherness through shared culinary experiences.

Our customers deserve great tacos and well made drinks at a great value, along with an accessible and easy-going vibe.
Our role is to facilitate great customer experiences through food, drink, music, and laid back but proactive hospitality - not too much, just enough - creating an environment of service and teamwork so that the needs of each other and our customers are always met

When we work together, it's always better and there's always a way.
Be willing to hear and teach "The Why"
Taking the extra 10-15 seconds to hear and teach "the why" we do what we do creates a culture of respect, learning and understanding.

Set yourself up for success! If we are properly prepared and focused, mistakes are few and far between - but when we do fail, it's all about recovering in style by learning and growing from our mistakes!
Appreciate the team and customers we have
It takes two to tango! Our customers need the team and the team needs our customers. We all work hard to make this thing go! Believe in our vision, yourself, our team, and always look for the best in people - we can accomplish anything as long as we believe we can.

When Pitmaster Rodney Scott was in middle school, he started cooking whole hogs at his family's restaurant in rural South Carolina. By the time he was in his mid-twenties he already had more experience in the bbq pits than most men twice his age. Rodney, along with his partners at Rodney Scott's BBQ opened the original Charleston, SC location in 2017 and the very next year Rodney Scott was awarded the James Beard Award for Best Chef Southeast. There is now a second location of Rodney Scott's BBQ in Birmingham, AL with plans for two more there and an Atlanta, GA location slated to open in 2021. Pit-Cooked meats make the difference that is evident from the first bite. 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 side dishes-collard greens, baked beans, mac and cheese, coleslaw, potato salad--and banana pudding is layerd, and hand pies baked every day. 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 “Every Day is a Great Day”
