Yummy. Basic, solid BBQ for a fair price. Good sides. Buns are underwhelming. Sauce is sweet. Ate here twice while we were in town and are sure to do it next visit. The staff are friendly and service quick. The peach cobbler was also great. Outdoor and indoor seating. read more

Ate here yesterday after a quick peek at Yelp. Missed out on the brisket and burnt ends as we there on a Saturday. Sat outside and soaked up some Vitamin D. Enjoyed our pulled pork sandwich and loaded baked potato and even the peach cobbler afterwards. Super friendly staff. Would definitely stop in on our next trip through Cartersville. read more

Great owner. Friendly and outgoing. Food came out very quickly so we dived right in. Ribs were tasty and meaty. All the sides, collard greens, potato salad, slaw and beans were above average. Pulled pork was great. No brisket or burnt ends except for Friday. Rats. We took our dog with us and there is plenty of seating outside for them. One thing: there is no above-the-counter menu. You have to look at the printed menu at the counter. read more

I just stopped here the other night during our first time in GA. I was greeted by two southern gentlemen sitting outside during a rain storm. I ate some of the best BBQ I've ever had. There might be better somewhere, but I couldn't tell you where! read more

Seems to be very popular in Cartersville. When you first walk in, you can smell the true barbecue, inviting you to come all the way to the service counter. Atmosphere is very country, just the way people who eat pulled pork, ribs, baked beans, slaw, and barbecue chicken would like it. You really can't find this kind of 0mom and pap type of joint in a very urban area. Even the parking lot was a good old gravel parking area in the heart of the city. My tree friends all enjoyed their meals. One said that: "The porkloin was so soft and tender." The other one said that her Brunswick stew was awesome, and my third friend loved her barbecue chicken salad. So the food is good. I took their word for it. I chose to have a slice of lemon pie because I can't eat barbecue. I wish that they served coffee, but it was fine with a cup of water. Simple and sweet, and not expensive at all. As far as the staff goes, I only saw one lady in the kitchen. However, there were several middle-aged gentlemen wearing blue aprons bringing food to the tables, checking on customers, and cleaning tables. Overall, it was a nice experience. I would invite someone here who likes Barbecue but does not expect to have a five-star dining. read more

An excellent curbside and only outdoor eating restaurant here. The pulled pork platter was outstanding and the collards were delicious and vinegar based. Not too pricey and very convenient for lunch. read more

Always on point! Never a bad experience or meal here, tried the Brunswick stew for the fist time in years and was not disappointed. Its always packed but they go out of their way to accommodate you. One of Cartersville few gems of the BBQ world! If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend!!!! read more

Passing through town, we decided to stop at a locally owned restaurant instead of a fast food place. We were pleased with our food! Everything was reasonably priced & the portions were generous. We ordered the lunch special BBQ sandwich & the loaded baked potato. I really liked the potato with bbq sauce, cheddar cheese & a side of pickles it was a good lunch! We sat on the covered porch & enjoyed our tea. The servers, who might have been some local high schoolers, were excellent hosts- they brought out the food to our table! read more

Scott's has the best ribs I have ever eaten!! I used to visit when I was in Cartersville for work 10 years ago. Now retired, I drove through town yesterday on a roadtrip and the ribs and sauce are still the best ever! Took 2 racks and three bottles of sauce with me. The staff is over the top friendly! read more

Although the staff were very nice, the food lacked. The brisket was not tender and it had a weird sauce on it. The macaroni and cheese was bland and grainy and the baked beans could have been better but they mostly tasted of tomato sauce. The pulled pork was very good. The restaurant although it appeared clean, the bottles had crud around the seals where they had not been wiped and if you're not going to wipe off the sauce bottle then you're definitely not going to clean your drink dispensers. It's $40 and 20 minutes of my time (we threw our plates away and did not finish) that i'll never get back. I'll never return. read more

Absolutely awful. The sauces were very bland, the brusnwick stew was as bland as it was watery. The mac & cheese was bland. The worst part of the experience was the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. The sauce bottles had this black crud built up around the base of the nozzles. The only redeeming part of this place is the staff was at very friendly, and the food was delivered quickly. Neither my wife nor I will be returning here. read more

Come here to Scott's Walk Up BBQ the food is really good i will come again get the ice cream

I had a family get together with 10 people. I ordered 2 lbs of pulled pork, sliced Brisket, sliced pork loin, baked beans and Brunswick stew. Oh my goodness my family loved it. they just kept saying how good the food was. nothing went to waste. They were so good at having everything ready and on time. it was hot and absolutely perfect. Thank you Scott's Barbecue for making my family gathering an awesome day read more

Looking for a place to grab lunch with my young grandson after a visit to the Tellus Science Museum, we found Scott's. We went inside & made our way toward the order counter in the back of the restaurant. There we ordered - an "everyday special" BBQ pulled pork sandwich with slaw instead of chips & a good iced tea. Grandson got a kid's BBQ sandwich, chips and drink. Food came out promptly & we sat & ate. We were later than normal lunch around 2:15 & realized it was closing at 2:30 when they came by to ask about refills as they were shutting down the fountain. Even so, we didn't feel rushed and were able to finish up a nice lunch. read more

As a family of 4 we had the ribs, pulled pork, baked potato with pork, bbq beans, Brunswick stew, mac and cheese and coleslaw!! It was all yummy!! We would order it all again!! Will be back soon!!! read more

Best Barbecue anywhere. They don't drown it in sauce, but you have some on the side. Good iced tea, and the staff is just excellent.

Although I'm not a huge fan of barbecue, I loved the barbecued chicken and the cole slaw. The people are friendly and the service is fast! 5 stars read more

A great, simple BBQ place that was able to accommodate our gluten free needs. Will be back!

Looking for a Cartersville staple? Scott's is an excellent example! I love BBQ, and here they do it very well. Having been here a few times, eating next to the walls covered with past Cartersville High School football teams, I have enjoyed plates of pulled pork and brisket. The pork is great, but head over early on Fridays to get the brisket before they serve it all! The Mac n cheese and collards are what I normally get and they compliment the meat. I love finding great local BBQ joints and this will continue to be a favorite of mine! read more

Very nice staff, but the food is not very good. The baked beans were not good at all. They tasted like canned pork and beans, which I think it was. Definitely not real baked beans. They were not baked, there were not peppers, no onions, no extra bbq added. Watery. I could not eat them The ribs were dry and a bit over cooked, but at least somewhat edible. The sausage had a weird after taste. I could not eat it. The bbq sauce was just okay. Potato salad was good, but other than that, it was not worth the $16. I think I will just stick with my family's bbqs. read more

Eat there about once a year when we visit Booth Museum in the fall. It is always good. All the menu items are good and the price is reasonable. read more

This is an awesome place for some good old-fashioned barbecue and sides. Everything taste extremely fresh. The restaurant is local owned and ran by family. The sauces for the barbecue are some of the best. You won't regret giving this place a try. read more

Have ate here at least 5 times now! One of my favorite bbq places to eat!! They never disappoint!! Affordable prices and get it out pretty quickly!! Highly recommend!! read more

One ... sry two word's maybe three . Overpriced, underwhelming, oh it's more words . South Carolina vinegar style ... and did I say overpriced???? Small portions for the same price as longhorn. read more

Excellent food. Wonderful service from genuinely kind people. Would recommend any day of the week.

One of my favorite BBQ places. Fast friendly service always. The tea is always so good. The absolute only complaint I have are the weird hours. Unless you go in your lunch time during work week, your likely not to catch them open so make sure you call first . read more

Being new to the area, I opened up my Yelp app and chose this place. Scott's is located on N Tennessee Street right across from Car quest. This restaurant offers plenty of parking and their patio is pet friendly. The menu is consisted of traditional bbq. I hear the briskets are the best thing on the menu but only served on Fridays. I ordered the half rack ribs with slaw and collards. The ribs were delicious!! The staff were all friendly. I brought my dog into the patio and one of the workers offered him a Shoulder Bone from the back! Great foods and service!! read more

The beat barbecue in the south! Great food and service! Everything on the menu is awesome! The potato salad and Brunswick stew is the best I've ever eaten. And if you're still not full, you have to order the peach cobbler! read more

It's good. Decent sides decent bbq wouldn't say it's great but it will work. I don't like the fact they don't have fries only chips.

Easily the best BBQ in Cartersville! Old School place with pit out back and line up ordering. Staff is super friendly and the food...well....DAMN its good! I usually get the half chicken with slaw and greens. Chicken is not the normal leather skinned meat. The seasoning is put on at some point before the skin turns to leather. Great flavor and moist as the day is long! Slaw is not too sweet and good and crunchy. The greens are cooked with some kind of cured ham or turkey...cant tell which...and dont really care...they are great. Had the pulled pork sandwich and it was excellent as well. Even the piece of white bread you get as an after thought at most places is moist and good. This is THE place for BBQ!!! read more

Really amazing AND fast service! I had the pulled pork and it was flavorful and delicious. Definitely will be back!

Good is so good and the prices are excellent and the staff are very friendly. I'm a regular customer and will always go back

I was fortunate to know the man behind this business long before he opened and there's no better way to succeed than with a person of great integrity and a product that results from their labor of love. Come for the burnt ends(and be quick, they WILL sell out!) You will likely find plenty of reasons to come back. Bring your own turkey for Thanksgiving... they'll smoke it perfectly for you! read more

Best BBQ in Cartersville!! Highly recommend. Staff is very friendly and food is great!

Excellent. Great BBQ. Excellent sides and dessert. We enjoy it every time we visit.

Great food great service! Staff are always friendly and helpful. This is my go to place for bbq in Cartersville.

Hidden Gem! I was passing through Cartersville and stumbled across this place. Friendly and yummy! read more

Scott's Walk-Up BBQ - Carolina sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Cartersville, Georgia

First time trying this place today for lunch. Small hole in the wall place with no frills or anything like that. Nice and friendly staff and customers everywhere! Very busy is a great sign for a little place like Scott's! I wanted the 2 meat combo with ribs and chicken but unfortunately they were out of ribs so I opted for the chicken and pulled pork instead. I got the mac and cheese and the Brunswick stew. Both of them were very good if I do say. Would of been 5 stars if they had ribs (and if they were good) . Definitely I will be back by to try them soon. read more
