    Tri 6 oz. Beef Sandwich Lunch
    Felicia H.

    came here for lunch with a colleague and ordered the tri-tip sandwich combo with a side of collard greens. The tri-tip was okay, but it was pretty chewy and had some fat. The sandwich came with BBQ sauce, but it could have used a lot more to add flavor and moisture. The collard greens were good, but not very juicy and a bit on the dry side. The place itself is nice and has an outdoor patio, which is a great option if you want to eat outside. However, parking is not the greatest and can be a bit inconvenient. Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't great. I wasn't greeted when I came in, and when I left, no one said thank you or acknowledged me--especially noticeable since they thanked other customers as they were leaving. That part really stood out and affected the overall experience.

    Rib Dinner
    Adrian L.

    I love barbecue and heard good things about Roderick's so I had to try. I got the BBQ pork ribs that came with two sides...I chose the mac and cheese and collard greens. I also had a mango peach kool-aid. DELICIOUS!!! I thought the rib plate was generous as it came with five bones and were tender with a nice smoky flavor. I had the BBQ sauce on the side and also enjoyed the sauce. The whole meal came to $32. Well worth it:) The gentleman helping me was friendly and the service was good. They had three televisions with various college football games going on so if your favorite team was playing, there's a good chance you'll catch the game there. There's indoor and outdoor seating, too. There's a small parking lot on front that was full but I was able to find parking on the side street next to the gas station. I love supporting black owned businesses and look forward to returning:)

    We didn't get any food, but it looked pretty good. The service well they didn't have enough bartenders the night that we came so the service was terrible but the ambience was really great. There was a fun DJ the vibe was good. It was very difficult. We did about 35 minutes at the bar on a full house to even get a drink, but we were visiting from out of town and yes, we had a great time next time. We'll definitely try the food and we would suggest going back. There's lots of parking at their own private lot. It was easy to find and overall it was pretty fun and friendly.

    Fried catfish with yams and greens
    Jaclyn L.

    I love everything about this place. The people: friendly and warm. The food: immaculate. I had the fried catfish plate with greens and yams. The greens were perfectly seasoned and tender. The yams were the perfect amount of sweet with notes of cinnamon and warm spices. The catfish pieces were meaty, fried hard, and seasoned to perfection. My plate was loaded up with 8 (!!!) pieces of catfish and a generous amount of sides, plus some soft and fluffy dinner rolls. I will be back probably way too many times.

    2708 98th Ave, Oakland, CA 94605 Wow, I've been missing out! This is Roderick's BBQ Restaurant on 98th Ave, up near the I-580 freeway. This place is usually closed when I drive by, but I had a chance to visit on a Saturday. OMG, a real BBQ place. I ordered the Chicken & Ribs Combo Dinner Meal, with Collard Greens and Baked Beans for sides. Very generous servings! Also, got two rolls and lots of napkins. No complaints about the sides. The BBQ Chicken was boneless dark meat. Absolutely perfectly cooked chicken. Moist and tender. If I only ordered BBQ Chicken, this would be a 5-star review. However, the BBQ Ribs were dry and tough. All the sauce in the world can't fix overcooked BBQ ribs. Sadly, I couldn't chew it and had to toss half of it away. But I promise to return, and maybe just order BBQ Chicken and something else....and bump my rating up! Support Local Business!

    A food truck with parking is a necessity and I'm glad Turo's Tacos has the lot. I've never really…read moreseen it super packed-- so the order is swiftly made. There are tables and seats if you want to eat there but keep in mind some of the seats are wobbly. I personally wouldn't eat here but there for those who are interested, there's also entertainment available such as tvs, pool table, etc. I've tried both the shrimp fries and steak fries, and would definitely prefer the bite with the shrimp fries more.

    Now, when you're talking about taco trucks, you really have to know what you're doing especially…read moreout here in the East bay. Well, you can tell them that Darryl sent you when you go to Turo Tacos. They have a great sitting area outside that's fully covered where you can sit in the shade and they have a pool table some video games and it's a great atmosphere. You don't have to worry about your car. You can see your car while you're there no problem. Everything is good. Turo Tacos is the truth on Bancroft right before you get to Durant near 106 pull up. Give them your order. I usually like to get my mom a couple of shrimp tacos and one steak I get a couple of steak and one shrimp and my wife likes the steak. So just tell them what you want the way they make it or even special orders, my mom asked for hers crispy. She likes the shells crispy the taco shells but yeah they're great. This is a spot. Come check it out if you didn't know now you know. Stay tuned for some more pictures !
