Rodney Scott's Bbq

Southern Hospitality in America is real... we took a drive by to Rodney Scott’s BBQ, here in Homewood, Alabama, to try our luck at 8.30am (service 11am). Looking like a couple of weirdos peering through the windows, the manager, Aaron Shoop, came out to see what we wanted. Explaining that we were from New Zealand and fans of Rodney and BBQ, we were invited in, given the full kitchen tour and then we were offered some menu items for take away (all paid for of course). Great chat with Aaron and Joel Brown about New Zealand BBQ and our trip through the states so far, and a few takeaway tips for hogg cooking and BBQ back home.Setting up a make shift picnic out the back of the SUV in the carpark we feasted. There's only been 1 other occasion on this trip where my perspective of good BBQ flavor and texture has shifted... this was the second. Pulled whole hogg and ribs. The sauces WOW!. Oh my! The flavor, the char, and the textures offered were excellent. So good! Mouth watering! Sides of Potato Salad and Slaw were a great addition.With full bellies, we're driving away to our next destination, I feel a sense of satisfaction that only good food can offer. I'll remember this for the rest of my life!Cameron Staples Auckland, New Zealand @jointsmokersbbqGlenn Manning Christchurch, New Zealand @thesmokinque

I have only had the ribs, but they were outstanding. My favorite restaurant ribs have been Dreamland. I think the seasoning at Rodney Scott’s is better than Dreamland. The ribs are a little more tender at Rodney Scott’s but they are not over cooked. I really like the Other sauce sweet and spicy. I keep thinking I need to try their pulled pork since that is what they are famous for, but I can’t pass on the ribs. I have also only had to go food, so I can’t comment on service other than at the counter. I

Went to Trussville location right after 430, ordered two rib plates and one turkey plate. The rib plates were HORRIBLE! Looked and tasted like it was microwaved from the day before. We always went to the Avondale store but it’s closed now…really hate that, probably Won’t have Rodney Scott again?…Really disappointed after going to Avondale just about every wknd with never having Any problems.

Everything was quite amazing pricey but to be expected and the portions were very generous. Definitely can taste the care and consideration in the food. Also, most places that have good BBQ have pitiful sides, the sides here are on par with the food and they were excellent. Catfish filets are very delicious as well.Kid-friendliness: Easy going place for kids.
