On January 12, 2023, southernliving.com published "The South's Top 50 Barbecue Joints". According to the article, the list is a blend of "old-school icons and impressive newcomers".

The article also noted that there may be barbecue eateries that are "nicer looking" than Scott's, however, it claims that "there's simply no barbecue bite that can compare to Scott's Pee Dee-style whole hog"!
