For V&J BBQ owner Victor Scott, barbecue has been a way of life. Even as a young boy, Scott cooked hogs with his dad behind their house.

Scott’s barbecue journey would take him places. He started by simply cooking on the side of the road. Later, he started selling from a food truck.

The thought that he would open his own restaurant never really seemed believable, but sometimes there are powers greater than your own guiding you through life.

“God spoke to me in 2017, and told me to go ahead and do it,” he said.

When the time was right, Scott opened V&J BBQ, a business named in honor of his sons, Victor, Jr. and Joshua.

Today, his bright red metal building on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Kingstree stands as a testament to that belief and the guidance from a higher power. And it was something that was born right at home.

“I wanted to do something with this piece of land beside my house,” Scott said. V&J BBQ now stands in the shadow of his home.

After a lot of hard work, on July 18, 2020, Scott and his family celebrated the grand opening of V&J BBQ.

The menu includes whole hog barbecue, chicken, ribs, and perlou. “Basically, [it’s] soul food,” said Scott.

The menu changes regularly but sides regularly include baked beans, slaw, potato salad, and Mac ‘n’ cheese. Another side that is a South Carolina original that you’ll normally find on the menu, is hash and rice.

In addition to the restaurant, you’ll see Scott’s food truck at festivals such as Kingstree’s Pig Pickin’ and the Pecan Festival in Florence. He also caters special events.
