I was in the mood for some BBQ and had been wanting to try Roderick’s for a while, and the stars finally aligned to try them out.
I drive by here all the time, and I know this place is small and not really dine-in friendly, so I ordered online to go. Honey ordered the rib plate with yams and baked beans. I ordered the rib and link plate with mac and cheese and potato salad.
The online order (DoorDash) status said it would be 25 to 35 minutes before we could pick up our food. Coming from Hayward, that was perfect timing.
When I arrived, there was a small line. “Unc” was in the back making plates, and the young lady up front seemed a little overwhelmed, but she was doing her best. Unc came from the back with our plates and asked for the online purchase verification. I thanked him, he told me to have a good day, and I went on my way.
The food was good, pricey but good. We spent 66 dollars on the two plates ordering DoorDash.
Honey is from Texas, so she’s not a big fan of pre-sauced meat; she says it hides the true quality of the meat. The online order form doesn’t let you put the sauce on the side. However, the ribs were tender, peeled off the bone easily, and were seasoned just right. The link was great; I don’t think you’ll find that kind of link in a grocery store.
The mac and cheese has a hint of garlic in it, which was surprising in a good way. The yams had the right amount of sweetness to them, not too sugary or overpowered by cinnamon and nutmeg. The beans were good too, just standard baked beans without extras. The potato salad was different; the cut of the potatoes was unique and not too soft. It was good, just not what I’m used to, so I don’t think I would order that again.
Overall, Roderick’s is good BBQ. I would come back, I also want to try their fried cat fish.

I had a delicious bbq chicken sandwich with the freshest crunchiest coleslaw. Not been having an appetite these days but this revived me and hit the spot. Brandon who took and prepared my ordered is the sweetest man. Was happy to chow down on my food and ordered three more to go to feed my kiddos at home. They r gonna love it. Thank you for the good food and your kindness most of all!

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.

Had a delicious sandwich with a side of macaroni —the sandwich was full of flavor! The macaroni could use a bit more love, but I’ll definitely be back because the rest of the menu looks amazing .
Service was excellent, and I really enjoyed watching the owner personally greet all of his customers. We had a great conversation—such a kind and welcoming person. I truly wish his business continued success!
Highly recommend giving this place a visit!

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.

I drive by his place all the time today January 24. I decided to go and get some barbecue. I got a two way plate ribs links, two sides with beans and potato salad the potato salad. Iwas OK beans wasn’t to my liking. I ordered a side of yam’s the yams was super good hot very sweet and it was only five dollars for a side.
The hot link was good there was hot and I like hot. The sauce was delicious when I go back yes because I would like to try everything on their menu. This is my first time there I give it about a 3 1/2 star. 49ers fan the son spoke on my 49ers hat that I was wearing

Roderick’s Barbeque in Oakland is absolutely worth the stop. I ordered the three-way combo with ribs and smoked chicken, with yams and collard greens. The ribs were flavorful and cooked right, and the smoked chicken was fire.
I also ordered a fried chicken plate with red beans and rice, plus peach cobbler. The fried chicken was crispy, the red beans and rice were solid, and the peach cobbler finished everything off perfectly.
Reading this review is already too much time wasted. Go try them now.
