WORD ON THE STREET

Probably the best meat I’ve ever had

The Odell brothers just cooked for our men’s retreat this past weekend. WOW. Probably the best meat I’ve ever had. If you haven’t had their slow cooked smoked brisket or short ribs … you don’t know what meat can be like. Nay, you don’t know what FOOD can be like. If you have the chance to try it, I highly recommend that you do!

No need for sauce. Tender. Full of flavor.

As a native of South Carolina, then a transplant to Kansas City, I consider myself to have a decent palette. This barbecue was some of the best I’ve ever had… it needed nothing. No need for sauce. Tender. Full of flavor. Fell apart in my mouth. I literally cut the brisket with a spoon.

I’m still craving more!

Jason and his talented crew catered our wedding a few weeks ago, and I’m still craving more!! They were incredibly generous and very professional, and so enjoyable to work with. Our guests loved the food, and so did we!! I would hire them for any event, time and time again!!

OMG, this place has the best brisket I ever had, randomly found this place when I was on vacation in Redding, as a huge meat lover, I could eat their brisket 1bl easily, better be there early after 2 pm you may only get chicken. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Great barbecue and friendly service. As someone who grew up in the south, I always heard that a barbecue place without cornbread and banana pudding was unlikely to be good barbecue, but that was not the case with Odell. The pulled pork sandwich and potato salad were both fantastic. Great sauce. Will definitely come back when I’m in Redding again.

Odell craft BBQ is hands-down the best barbecue in Northern California. Jason O'Dell I have taken the time to learn one good craft BBQ needs. He is passionate about what he does and shares that with the world. If you think I'm being biased, try it for yourself.
