The first time I can really remember eating BBQ, I mean, really, really GOOD BBQ, was when I was…read morearound ten years old. Someone had recommended a place way out in the middle of nowhere to my dad, and sure enough, he thought it would be a good family trip to find this place. The place was nothing to look at. The pits were basically set up under a giant pavilion - a roof with no walls, and I vividly remember a rather large man with a beat red face, sweat pouring off his head, slopping sauce on ribs with a large basting mop. The food was incredible, and definitely set the mark for what I thought BBQ could, and should be. My wife and I were recently up at a nice farmer's market near Brunswick, Georgia. As we were checking out with our multiple baskets of fruits and vegetables, I casually asked the woman ringing us up, "If you could only go to ONE place for BBQ around here, where would it be?" She immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at the other guy who was pulling out some new produce to put on display. He asked if we were willing to drive a bit. I answered, "of course." In unison they said, "Scott's." We thanked them, lugged our haul to the car and Soon plugged Scott's into our GPS. It wasn't too far from the market, and pulling in? Well, again, its not much to look at. The little driveway into a big rocky and grassy area had more potholes than asphalt. But the smell of the smoker hits you almost instantly when you get out of your car. A little pavilion with some picnic tables by the side of a building is the seating area. The menu is posted on the wall and your order from a cute little window. The staff? Funny and engaging and willing to talk about anything and everything. My wife and I wanted to try everything. "We'll take one of each please!" But we narrowed it down to two 2-meat platters. We had the pulled pork, fatty brisket, ribs and chicken. Each came with 2 sides and we tried the fried okra, cole slaw, breaded fries and mac n cheese. The star was the brisket. Tender, pull apart meatiness that is what you want in good brisket. The chicken was also unexpectedly excellent. The ribs and the pulled pork were good, but not quite to the level of the brisket and the chicken. All of the side were also really good. You can't go wrong with fried okra - I mean - its fried. The fries were the unexpected star of the side. Not sure what they coat the fries with before frying, but it worked really well. The portions are huge and we ended up taking a lot of it home to eat later. The woman working the window just laughed when we told her we were from Jacksonville and got a recommendation to come to Scott's by folks at a farmer's market. "I love that," she said. I loved it to. Because good BBQ, like the food I had when I was 10 and what my wife and I enjoyed this past weekend at Scott's will b memories that last for a long, long time. If you're ever near Waynesville, Georgia and you're looking for a great place to eat, go to Scott's for some excellent BBQ. Trust me.

I copied my daughter's order of Jumbo pulled pork sandwich with a side of onion rings. The pulled pork was tender and juicy and I really enjoyed their slightly sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. To take to our significant others, we ordered a slab of baby back and beef ribs to be shared. The baby back ribs were unfortunately dry and overcooked, but the beef ribs were fantastic- juicy, beefy, flavorful goodness!!! We'll certainly return when passing through the area. The staff was hard at work and very helpful!! I always enjoy finding a little down home, small town spot like Scott's BBQ.

Nice market with a good selection, but very pricey. Per many other reviews, my husband and I both had fried shrimp. It was excellent. He got the large platter and could barely eat it all. The regular platter was very plentiful. He got sweet potato fries as his side - excellent choice. I went wrong with my side - Mac n cheese. It was homemade and OK. To me it was like a very creamy and very cheesy Kraft with added pimentos. But to be honest , I make a killer southern mac n cheese and am pretty picky. So it is probably totally fine for most folks. We did have to wait quite a while for the food. We got there just 15 minutes before closing. There were a couple folks that had just ordered and were waiting. Then when I meandered through the whole store and came back twice to find it was still in process, I found out that someone had called in an huge order for 10-12 people just 15 minutes before closing. Amazing that people do things like that. Anyway, the staff was nice, patient, accommodating and doing the best they could. We weren't in a hurry. I just felt bad for them trying to get closed. Will definitely rely be back when we visit again.

I got on Yelp and saw some great reviews for a lot of restaurants in the area and the love shack did stand out to me. I walked around and looked at the cute shops and walked into a little market. Well, as it turns out that was the location of love shack barbecue! There was a very kind lady and a son or other family member in the back and she was so helpful in helping me select what to eat. I really just wanted some Brunswick stew and cornbread, but she advised if I got the shrimp platter that Brunswick stew came on the side and then I could have cornbread as well. I absolutely loved the Brunswick stew, it had all sorts of good vegetable vegetables in it, but was also very thick. The cornbread was so sweet and moist. The fried shrimp were solid, I couldn't finish them all just because they were very fried, but I enjoyed them. As I was waiting for my food to be prepared, (it only took about five minutes) I enjoyed walking around the little general store. It was everything from up stay up scale gift items to bakery to a grocery store where you could buy alcohol to a beach shop, it was a really great place. I took my meal to go and sat outside. The lady had advised not waiting too long or the shrimp would get soggy.

The wife and I both split a huge Captains Platter that included a hefty portion of fired fish, shrimp, scallops, oysters, and deviled Crab. I wanted the Fried Okra for one side, and the wife wanted home fries for the second side. Everything was fried perfectly and was almost more than we could both eat. I had seen photos of their banana pudding online, and even though I was full, I was not going to pass it up. Considering the amount of food we received, the prices were very reasonable.

First I have I was hoping it was a good sign that the place was so busy for a early Wednesday 4:30 evening. The service was fast and friendly. The establishment was clean and most if not customers were there for takeout. So, let's talk about the meal. The dishes themselves (QT size) were enormous so nice value We were both surprised that the Vegetable Lo Mein had almost no vegetables. Nice that what Vegetable were there were snow peas and broccoli but the amount there made it look like an afterthought. The dish itself had very little flavor so not a great dish. I can cover both the General Tso and Orange Chicken in the same paragraph. Pro tip on both and maybe all their dishes. There were zero vegetables in the dish, it was all fried Chicken with the correct sauce. On the plus side if you want nothing but heavily breaded fired chicken, both of these dishes will be right up your ally. From a value perspective this great, but if you want a normal Chinese dish that includes vegetables, you must order and pay for it separately. I also recommend you order extra sauce. There was plenty of leftovers that we could have eaten for the next day or two, but neither one of us were happy enough with the dishes so we tossed out the rest.

Fast and friendly service. Food is authentic and tastes great! Plenty of dining space.read more
