Reviews
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
