I’m picky when it comes to food, especially bbq. The experience at Roderick’s doesn’t disappoint. They also have a really tasty, and affordable lunch menu. The service is very friendly, which is harder to come by now a days. I strongly recommend you give Roderick’s a try.

The ribs are so smacking I had to double back and go get another order of them. Smoked meat falling off the bone. Every bite you can taste it. yams are just right . Sweet but not too sweet. Love it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review Roderick’s BBQ, Oakland
If you’re looking for the best BBQ in Oakland, look no further than Roderick’s BBQ. Between Roderick, the owner, and his son Brandon, this family team delivers an experience that goes far beyond food it’s passion, flavor, and true hospitality all in one.
The quality of the BBQ is unmatched. Every dish is seasoned perfectly, cooked with care, and served with that classic Oakland warmth. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, they treat you like family the moment you walk in.
If you’ve never visited, make it your business to do so. Roderick’s BBQ is not just a restaurant it’s an Oakland staple, and you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely the BEST BBQ I've had in the Bay! Took me 2 yrs. to stop ordering the beef brisket and try the Excellent fried catfish for the first time. Now I'm hooked on both!

I had been driving past Roderick's BBQ for many years. I recently decided to order from them on Doordash and have ordered twice and will continue to explore the menu. The meat was very tender and tasty. I loved the yams! 10 out of 10.

Man, talk about old -school soul food! This place takes me back to the days of flavorful bbq and sublime sides like we used to get in Oakland. And their fish is off the hook, too(pun intended).
Make your way here when you can and you’ll not be disappointed. They deliver!

I have been to this place twice. Parking is limited, but worth finding a close parking spot. The service is amazing. Their attitude is uplifting and welcoming. The food is amazing and so is the Kool aid 😀. I highly recommend this to anyone in the area
