Scott Bar-B-Que

This place has been on my list for a while now...ever since a friend told me about the place. I live a little over 2 hours away from here.I arrived to see quite a line forming so I hop in line and check out the menu. It's pretty simple...pork is the main emphasis here and whole hog BBQ is the name of the game. I ordered the Jumbo Pork Sandwich, Mayo Slaw, and Sweet BBQ Sauce on the side with potato salad. The food...EXCELLENT. I love how you have the option to get mayo OR vinegar slaw on your sandwich PLUS it's a fine chop and the sweet BBQ sauce is great. I got to see some of the hogs heading into the smokehouse...pretty cool setup. The food here is great and the service at the window for your order was efficient and friendly.

I had really high expectations for this place after reading multiple reviews online touting it as one of the best Tennessee barbecue spots. Sadly, it just couldn't live up to them.Right of the bat when you walk in you feel unsafe because none of the staff is wearing masks, and customer mask wearing is not enforced in any way. That aside let's talk about the food. The two highlights were the baked beans and the price point.The baked beans ($1.50) were simply great, there's really not much else that I can say. Good balance of beans and meat.I guess the potato salad was ok, but I am not a "cold potato dish" lover so my friend ate that.Let's talk about the main course - the barbecue. Both the plate and the sandwich are both $4. You get a bit more meat with the plate, whereas with the sandwich you get a bun and slaw (either with vinegar or mayo). Their recommendation was to get it with mayo so I did. Once you bite into the sandwich the only thing I could get out of it was texture. The mayo didn't add any flavor to the slaw, and the pork was just... there. Same with the plate. It was not exactly tender, nor flavorful. The only way you can get any flavor is to drench it in their hot sauce which you are not given enough of.

This is one of the few "whole hog" bar-b-que places left in west Tennessee and it is a place not to be missed. The pulled pork sandwiches are amazing and the sides are homemade fresh daily. But the crown jewel is the ribs (which they do not serve every day, so watch social media). Slow smoked and not smothered in sauce so the flavor of the meat comes through loud and clear. And so tender you can cut the slab apart with a plastic knife. Hands down the best ribs I've ever had (and I've had quite a few). Staff is fantastic; we even got a tour of the smokehouse in back! They know how to move the line along, which is good because Scott's is quite popular with the locals. Nice area to eat inside. Definitely worth a trip from Jackson or swinging off the road on your way to Nashville.

The best barbecue in town! I love it! Scott's Barbecue is always lean, fresh and tasty. It is my choice for a delicious and quick lunch!Scotts has a reputation for serving the best! I would not go anywhere else for barbecue!Anne Lee

Very fast and friendly service. The food was delicious and the price was great. We also tried the fried apple pie. Wish I had taken pictures before we ate.

The pulled pork was fantastic! Wish I lived closer. The pork is our second favorite in this area. Sam's is our current favorite because it's closer.

The best pulled pork and chopped pork I have ever had! Also loved the baked beans, sweet tea, and creamy coleslaw. Service was exceptional -the woman taking my order was very nice and friendly. Cute restaurant and welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely go back.

Best pit barbecue in Tennessee. The smell of sweet woodsmoke, mingling with dripping fat of well loved and cared for hogs - bringing nourishment and joy to a community for generations now. Super group of big hearted people too. A must visit : )

Actual whole hog bbq. Simple menu but very good. Chicken and bologna choices as well. Everything is made each day and when they're out of an item, they're out.

Good whole hog barbecue. Been open for many years. Family owned and friendly service.
