    I have driven past scoots on multiple occasions in the last five years, but I have never been, until tonight. My friend who lives in the Gloucester area recommended three different spots for dinner tonight and I chose scoots since I've never been. Turns out it's super popular on Saturday and Sundays and I can understand why there is ample seating on the interior and a cute outdoor area with maybe 20 tables. But don't quote me on that because whenever I have to guess how many jellybeans are in a jar I'm always way off. Lol! Once inside the menu is listed on a large chalkboard, which I was super grateful for and made it really easy to read and understand. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which is a combo they have it pairs very well with a coleslaw offered. I opted for half a chicken and some chicken wings barbecue style. The barbecue wings and the half chicken literally were just about the same thing so you can't go wrong but the next time I go, I'll probably just do the half chicken. The half chicken had a wonderful crispy skin. Their cucumber salad is a vinegar base and it is absolutely divine and I'm sure it will hit the spot on a hot summer day. The mac & cheese with nothing to rave about, but it was delicious. The corn muffins have corn in them and I thought that was a nice added touch. They're a little bit bigger than a mini muffin. The collards were also delicious. The staff I encountered were amazing. I asked questions and they answered honestly. Overall, I highly recommend this spot, especially if you're looking for a good barbecue fix .

    Smoked brisket, the top portion is meat and the bottom is all pure inedible fat.

    I've been supporting this restaurant and loving their food and sending everybody I know there since they very first opened. Sad to say slowly the food has lost its original deliciousness. They used to have great smoked barbecue baked beans now they're straight from a can. The collards that I ordered were tough and 3/4 stalks. The brisket was unbelievably salty and half of it was inedible fat. I ordered the brisket family meal, which is $44. It used to come with a couple tiny corn muffins but now you have to buy them separately for a quarter apiece. I don't know how many family members this is supposed to feed. Certainly none of my family members wanted any of the fat, but it was definitely not even close to feeding my family. I can no longer support this restaurant and this was definitely the last order I will ever place with them. I've had issues in the past with having to wait extremely long amount of time for fried chicken and we've placed orders that the front forgot to inform the kitchen about several times . We've really loved this place over the years and continued to give them another chance repeatedly . Can't do it anymore. Very disappointing. The extremely salty fatty brisket was tender though.

    Good corn muffin

    The brisket, collard greens, and fries were delicious. The dining area was decent, and the outdoor seating is especially nice during cooler weather. The service was good, and I definitely want to return to try more items from the menu. Overall, I like this place, which is conveniently located just off the main road.

    I visited Scoot's with family the day after Thanksgiving. They were steady with customers out and about on Black Friday. Family in the Gloucester area get take-out from Scoot's often and enjoy their BBQ. Oddly enough, we were hear for hot dogs. They are listed on their main menu but it seems like they might be better on the kid's menu. When we asked about what toppings were available they told us ketchup, mustard, and that they could add some chopped onions. Never fear, we're a resourceful group. I ordered a hot dog and a side of pulled pork and a side of their onion rings. Once our food came out we topped our previously-plain hot dogs with pulled pork, onion rings, and squeezed some of their bbq sauce on top. #chefskiss The hot dogs are a really good size and, if you're creative, you can create your own awesome fancy hot dog (mac and cheese and brisket anyone?) :) I'd return to Scoot's to try more of their BBQ and sides.

    Brisket Tacos

    The brisket tacos were tasty. The burnt ends were good but hardly any bark and overly sauced. They also were served lukewarm. The okra was piping hot and tasty. Disappointed that for the price it didn't come with any type of cornbread or roll. Food is good but not proportional to price and quality. Collards were sweet which is new to me but they were good. Macaroni and cheese was a big miss I'd recommend skipping that.

My wife enjoyed her philly and the slaw which is mayonaise based and seasoned well to our liking. The smoked wings came out hot and seasoned with medium wing sauce as requested. The chicken wings are some of the larger ones I have ever been served. My onion rings came out hot, lightly battered and tasting good.

That said, this is probably one of the best I've had, and it's from a small town of Hayes, tucked away in a corner of a shopping center. The pizza is a true large size with generous toppings. The pepperoni, sausage, meatball, green peppers, and mushrooms meld together perfectly. The dough has a great texture. The buffalo wings were also excellent, with just the right amount of kick without overpowering the palate. When I walked in for takeout, the server was very friendly and welcoming. The decor reminds me of old Italy, with influences of Roman Catholic design, including statues and rosary decor. They seem to have loyal customers, as they greeted them by name--which is well-deserved, given how excellent the food is. Now I have to compare every pizza to Franco's pizza--the new gold standard in my book!
