This five stars is relative to expectations for the place. It is literally built onto the front of a grocery store. You order from a small window and take it to go. I only tried the Turkey, mac and cheese, potato salad, and french fries. The Turkey is a bit peppery on the seasoning but paired well with the BBQ sauce. The fries had a slight batter on them and I personally love that. The mac and cheese and potato salad were solid too. Thete are limited drink options so I bought a soda in the store. Would I say this is better than the majority of BBQ places I have visited in Texas? Of course not. But I’d be happy to eat it again and if you’re exploring options in Redlands it is a fun addition.

I finally got a chance to stop by and try this place. It’s connected to a grocery store but it’s right in front so it’s easy to find. I ordered a 3 meat plate with the brisket, sausage and chicken quarter leg with a side of Mac and cheese and bbq beans. The portion size was really good. All in all the meat was cooked well but lacked flavor to me-except for the sausage, that was pretty tasty. The bbq sauce was really on point tho and gave good flavor to the meat. The Mac and cheese was decent, not nasty but not memorable and the bbq beans were decent. I really wanted to like this place more but it didn’t hit my palate how I expect my bbq to.

Soooo good! Brisket and beef ribs were tender and very flavorful. Potato salad was great. Fries were crispy and seasoned well. I’ll enjoy spreading the word to family and friends about how wonderful lunch was today! Teddy was very friendly and helpful! Thanks for the yummy lunch.

Great BBQ, service, and overall quality. We were looking for a nearby BBQ place after doing Apple Picking in Oak Glen and finding that the BBQ place there was too full/no parking. This spot is 20min away from the apple farms with ample parking as it sits right in front of a grocery store in a neighborhood plaza. As a party of 6 we were easily full with their Family Pack #1. The brisket was so good that we took an extra pound to go.
Pulled chicken: juicy, tender and oniony dark meat. Not like most bbq chicken I’ve had but still really good
Brisket: so tender, moist, melt in your mouth, great bark, just the right amount of smoke flavor to not be overpowering, even better with their sauce
Smoked turkey: prob my least fav, while juicy and tender I just wish it was more seasoned throughout the meat or had more Smokey flavor, was better w/bbq sauce
For the sides we tried bbq beans, mac n cheese, and potato salad. I’d recommend all of them, my favorite was the beans. I thought the mac and cheese and potato salad could use a lil more salt but that’s just my preference!
One more plus was their napkins! Unlike many outdoor bbq places who give flimsy thin napkins, they give thick large heavy duty napkins perfect for helping you eat all the delicious food!
The lemonade and sweet tea were perfect.
The chef/owner was so hospitable and introduced himself while we were eating outside, again, great service. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Best BBQ food I can ever recommend to anyone! Ordered the Brisket and pulled chicken plate with potato salad and beans, excellent taste, very delicious and the portions are more than enough to fill you up at a very reasonable price! I will be a returning customer!

The barbecue that I had a few times was very flavorful. The rib tips are meaty and tender as are the pork ribs. The chicken leg and thigh was juicy and well cooked with a nice smoky taste. I am not a fan of the barbecue sauce, but that’s a minor technicality. I enjoyed the macaroni and cheese and the baked beans. The potato salad was not bad, but not my favorite of the sides. This is a take out establishment. I am not sure if there are places to sit and eat.

We had to come here twice as we were too early the first time. As a tourist.. we would never known about this place if we didn’t come to the Ranch market. Great BBQ and a great treat.

They got me with a sample of brisket!! Gosh darn it!! Brisket so soft and pull apart. Just melted on your tongue. I ran back to get a 1meat plate after my shopping. My two sides… Mac n cheese, so creamy. And the baked beans??? WTH! Had meat inside and so saucy! Just the way I like it! The sauce spilled over on the mac n cheese side, but no worries, tastes even better!
Teddy is 100% the face of customer service!
This place will be my pit stop before going to Bug Bear!

Hoodidya BBQ was the best BBQ west of Texas and it’s in my backyard!!! David, the owner of Ranch Market, is Redlands Best and an awesome person! I thoroughly enjoyed their mouth-watering brisket and the beans totally on-point! I’ll be back for Sunday BBQ on a monthly basis and looking forward to trying other yummy meats and sides on the menu! Thank you so much for taking good care of my family! Can’t wait to return!

Not sure what all the ranting and raving is about here!! We ordered the brisket sandwich and loaded Mac and cheese with brisket (pulled chicken was out)
The food is SOOOOOOO SALTY!!!!!!! Oh my good God!! I couldn’t even finish my food at all (three or four bites in) and we drove out here per the reviews. They might as well just serve bottles of salt instead because you can’t taste the meat at all. I also ordered lemonade which was absolutely disgusting.. tasted like what I’d imagine mold would taste like.
It’s in front of a grocery store so it’s a weird location as it is with limited seating and the customer service was ok.
Hate to give negative reviews because we were genuinely excited to come but what a waste of our time and money. I’d skip.
