“I was not terribly impressed with my 2 visits to Rodney's Charleston location, especially considering all the hype around it. The original Scott's in Hemingway is insanely good and well worth traveling a great distance for. Rodney's Charleston location, not so much. Everything that I had, both times - the pork and the sides - were simply meh. I wanted to like it, but I really didn't.Update May 2024 - I visited again, and this time I found the food to be quite good! Maybe they had some kinks to work out.“

“Was looking for some good BBQ, in particular Briscket, and landed at Southern Roots Smokehouse. After receiving a very friendly greeting and tips on the food selection; my family and I enjoyed a very delicious meal. Two of us had the plates and one had the brisket burger. Both of which were very good. So good that we ended up ordering some extra banana pudding. Overall the service, the food, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable and would defiantly visit again.“
