Scott's Walk-Up Bar-B-Q - Barbecue restaurant in Cartersville - 206 N Tennessee St, USA

Found this gem while we were road tripping. The food and sauces were great. They easily accommodated my gluten sensitivity. My kiddo loved the bbq baked beans. My mom loved the Brunswick stew. 10/10 to the super friendly staff. 10/10 to the super friendly local patrons. This is our first time in Cartersville, and we’re big fans. **You can only get brisket on Friday.

Maaaaaan. I have absolutely no idea how this place has this high rating . The only decent items were the pulled pork and potato salad. The ribs were rubbery and just tasted off. I Don’t know if we went in there on an off day or what. And the Mac and cheese was scary! Dry and crusty. Not fresh. At least they were nice enough to refund my parents ribs.

The people are very kind! The food and welcoming owners make this more than worth the stop. Very impressed by the ribs and pulled pork sandwich. We will be back!

Used to be so much better years ago. Ordered the ribs and they were rubbery and tough. Mac n cheese was pasty. They told us they bake it in the oven and put bread crumbs on top but it was nasty! All stuck together and dry. The beans were mushy too. We asked for another side and we chose potato salad. It too was nothing to write home about. Not much flavor. Big pieces of egg white, no salt, not much relish. When one of the employees brought it to our table, she slammed them down on the table. My daughter was the one who went to the counter to ask for another side since the Mac n cheese was awful and she was told, “well we already gave you your sides.” Very rude staff. Acted like it would put them out of business to give another side to a customer who wasn’t happy. I will say we complained to the manager and he refunded us our money. But none of the food tasted fresh. It was like it was cooked days ago and they just keep warming it up and serving it to people. Also the burnt ends and the beef brisket is only available on Fridays according to their menu. What in the world? The locals around there like it I guess because there’s not a lot of BBQ places around but it sure was disappointing to us. If you want great BBQ you must visit Biguns BBQ in Talking Rock.

Very good food. We had the chicken and ribs. Also very responsible for BBQ. Great place if you are in the area.

I have been coming in here for years and I love this place. The staff is amazing and the food is great. My favorite is the BBQ potato. It feels like home and is a comfortable place to visit and eat with friends!! And that tall dude with the dark hair is pretty handsome!! 😉

Had a great time eating at Scott’s BBQ for lunch! Awesome small town restaurant culture and the food was very good. Would definitely recommend going if you have never been before.

I ordered the brisket with slaw and brunswick stew. The brisket was super tender with a nice smokey taste, the slaw wasn't to sweet with a little spice that gave it that something extra. The brunswick stew was good just seemed like it was missing something to myself personally. My husband got the ribs they fell off the bone very tender.
