Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ has landed on Metropolitan Parkway, and Atlanta now has a place that knows what it's doing.
This is the Atlanta outpost of a barbecue operation built on whole hog — the kind of commitment that doesn't bend. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the southwest side, it's built on the same principles that define the brand: proper pit work, no shortcuts, the full animal treated with respect.
Find it at 668 Metropolitan Parkway SW and call ahead if you need to. The work speaks for itself.
