This place is a hidden gem. You would think is was a homestead 1 room shack from the outside but the inside and back patios are HUGE. I'm having my next record release party here, on mommas.
I'm from the southeast and grew up eating some of the best BBQ in the world. I've also had BBQ all over the US, including Texas, Kansas City, Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Roderick's doesn't beat the BBQ from back home, but for California BBQ standards, it was a solid 10/10. Overall I'd give them an 8/10 if we're comparing across the entire US BBQ space. We tried smoked chicken and ribs with coleslaw and baked beans. It was delicious and we will be back. Thanks Roderick's...read full review
Good bbq with all the fixings. Chicken was my favorite with the ribs coming up second. Brisket and sausage was very good also. For the sides Mac and cheese and yams were the ones I would pick again.
