    The ambiance is a calm family atmosphere. The service was decent. It was a young guy that took my order. I do appreciate that this place does Military discount. I ordered the Brisket platter w/Mac n Cheese and cornbread. Brisket- Moist and great to chew. Thier original bbq sauce was good. Mac n cheese- It was tasty. Not overcooked and super cheesy. Cornbread- So sweet. I enjoyed the hospitality here.

    My husband and I were heading back home from Water Country and decided to order pick-up. I got the brisket sandwich with fries and sweet tea and my husband got the brisket bowl. Both were very tasty! I tried his and loved the Mac n cheese! We were in swimwear so we ate in the car, but I did see they have a nice patio outside. We enjoyed our meal and will stop by again when in town.

    I have driven past scoots on multiple occasions in the last five years, but I have never been, until tonight. My friend who lives in the Gloucester area recommended three different spots for dinner tonight and I chose scoots since I've never been. Turns out it's super popular on Saturday and Sundays and I can understand why there is ample seating on the interior and a cute outdoor area with maybe 20 tables. But don't quote me on that because whenever I have to guess how many jellybeans are in a jar I'm always way off. Lol! Once inside the menu is listed on a large chalkboard, which I was super grateful for and made it really easy to read and understand. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which is a combo they have it pairs very well with a coleslaw offered. I opted for half a chicken and some chicken wings barbecue style. The barbecue wings and the half chicken literally were just about the same thing so you can't go wrong but the next time I go, I'll probably just do the half chicken. The half chicken had a wonderful crispy skin. Their cucumber salad is a vinegar base and it is absolutely divine and I'm sure it will hit the spot on a hot summer day. The mac & cheese with nothing to rave about, but it was delicious. The corn muffins have corn in them and I thought that was a nice added touch. They're a little bit bigger than a mini muffin. The collards were also delicious. The staff I encountered were amazing. I asked questions and they answered honestly. Overall, I highly recommend this spot, especially if you're looking for a good barbecue fix .

    Smoked brisket, the top portion is meat and the bottom is all pure inedible fat.

    I've been supporting this restaurant and loving their food and sending everybody I know there since they very first opened. Sad to say slowly the food has lost its original deliciousness. They used to have great smoked barbecue baked beans now they're straight from a can. The collards that I ordered were tough and 3/4 stalks. The brisket was unbelievably salty and half of it was inedible fat. I ordered the brisket family meal, which is $44. It used to come with a couple tiny corn muffins but now you have to buy them separately for a quarter apiece. I don't know how many family members this is supposed to feed. Certainly none of my family members wanted any of the fat, but it was definitely not even close to feeding my family. I can no longer support this restaurant and this was definitely the last order I will ever place with them. I've had issues in the past with having to wait extremely long amount of time for fried chicken and we've placed orders that the front forgot to inform the kitchen about several times . We've really loved this place over the years and continued to give them another chance repeatedly . Can't do it anymore. Very disappointing. The extremely salty fatty brisket was tender though.

    The brisket, collard greens, and fries were delicious. The dining area was decent, and the outdoor seating is especially nice during cooler weather. The service was good, and I definitely want to return to try more items from the menu. Overall, I like this place, which is conveniently located just off the main road.

    I visited Scoot's with family the day after Thanksgiving. They were steady with customers out and about on Black Friday. Family in the Gloucester area get take-out from Scoot's often and enjoy their BBQ. Oddly enough, we were hear for hot dogs. They are listed on their main menu but it seems like they might be better on the kid's menu. When we asked about what toppings were available they told us ketchup, mustard, and that they could add some chopped onions. Never fear, we're a resourceful group. I ordered a hot dog and a side of pulled pork and a side of their onion rings. Once our food came out we topped our previously-plain hot dogs with pulled pork, onion rings, and squeezed some of their bbq sauce on top. #chefskiss The hot dogs are a really good size and, if you're creative, you can create your own awesome fancy hot dog (mac and cheese and brisket anyone?) :) I'd return to Scoot's to try more of their BBQ and sides.

    Is there a pick-up service?

    I'm not 100% sure I know what you mean by "pickup" service. There is "carryout", I use carryout a lot. You can either phone in your order or you can order online by going to Scoots website and choose order online. It is a third party online service…

I found this place in yelp and wanted to give it a try. It's in a small strip mall and at first we were afraid they weren't there anymore because there isn't a marquee sign above the restaurant but there is a large smoker truck that looks like it's used for catering that helped us find it. The parking lot was full which blocked the signage on the doors/windows. The inside has a few small tables and a counter to the right to order from with the kitchen behind. There was a few chairs across from the counter to wait for to go orders. You choose your own table after ordering. The owner was personable and chatting an older gentleman that had been there awhile. We later realized he was the owner when he came out to see how our food was. The ribs fell off the bone and the baked beans had ground beef and some peppers. They were delicious and had such good flavor. Rolls were served with the meals. The portions were large and we took home our leftovers. I was a little surprised that our food was served in to go containers even though we asked to dine in. You pick up your own plasticware at the counter where you pick up your order. While it's not a typical sit down place with table service or bar drinks, the food was really good and hot. We'll definitely go again. Also love that it's veteran owned and he's present and cares about the service provided. It was also evident he cares about his staff as we overheard them discussing one of the kids preparing for high school graduation.

My selection was a combo plate of moist beef brisket and sausage with fries and a drink and some of their sauces. Everything was cooked well and I got full halfway. I actually gave Sophia some of my food to take home with her. Truly a great vibe when we dined. Thanks to the staff for making us feel comfortable. Till next time :)

Raven gave us several minutes to look over menu before returning and answering a few questions. I was interested in wings which Raven pointed out were on special this Wednesday at $1 each, minimum of 10. Cheaper than the plate of 8 I was going to order. I went for this with a side of onion rings. My wife ordered the Freedom Philly with cole slaw. The food came out in good time served in red plastic baskets lined with paper. My wife enjoyed her philly and the slaw which is mayonaise based and seasoned well to our liking. The smoked wings came out hot and seasoned with medium wing sauce as requested. The chicken wings are some of the larger ones I have ever been served. My onion rings came out hot, lightly battered and tasting good. At 1:30 in middle of week there were only a few other tables occupied. Raven was the only server and was maintaining service well. She came back and checked on us several times.

    After readng several of the most recent comments and reviews we decided to re-visit Sals in Hayes…read more I really like what they've done with the place; the ambience is a bit brighter & more updated. The menu is pretty much the same so we stuck with our old standbys. There were 4 of us and two ordered their favorite pizzas while another ordered chicken parm. 3 of us had salads but I was the only one who chose the antipasto. I also ordered the appetizer of chicken wings. Not much of a fan of them usually but had a yen for them. When they arrived I dropped my jaw. THEY WERE HUGE. I hadn't been aware that they were strictly buffalo wings but ordered the mild. I tried one but only after I ate my entree of the linguine with garlic & oil. Yum. I am happy to report that it's some of the best I've had. Lots and lots of garlic and the bowl isn't swimming in olive oil. After finishing that I was too full but ate one wing & brought the rest home. Now my only complaint is that all my food came out at once. That's not my idea of enjoying the restaurant. Salad first, appetizers and then entree. The way that was done doesn't allow you to savor your courses. While I'm enjoying my salad my wings and pasta are getting cold. Not ideal. The service was good, we were checked on regularly and the server was very attentive Thank you Sals for an enjoyable night out. It was a pleasure dining with you.
