    The smoke reaches King Street before the building does, which is all the orientation you need. Rodney Scott's is a counter-service whole-hog BBQ shop where the pulled pork arrives soft enough to dissolve on contact, doused in a vinegar-and-lemon sauce with real bite. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the mac and cheese earns its place on the tray. Order before you reach the counter; nobody here has patience for deliberators.

      “served in classic red baskets lined by paper that soaks up the vinegar-based barbecue sauce as it dribbles from an overflowing pulled pork sandwich”

      Condé Nast Traveler
    • Mac and cheese

      “Beyond the pork, there is a killer mac and cheese, some smoked chicken, and some BBQ ribs you might have to fight someone for.”

      Condé Nast Traveler

      “Also on the menu are some serious racks of ribs, fried catfish, chicken and brisket.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
