HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

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.

HOSPITALITY IS 

OUR MIDDLE NAME.

Beyond the barbecue, one of our greatest passions in life is creating an atmosphere where memories are made around the table. From the way that we work together to design a menu for your event to the way that our team hosts your guests behind the buffet, our team takes pride in our authentic approach to hospitality. 

ABOUT Odell'S BBQ

Born and raised in Northern California, Jason Odell knows what it takes to make world-class barbecue. From Texas and Kansas City, he’s travelled around the country in pursuit of age-old secrets and homegrown methods for preparing legendary meats. For over a decade, he’s experimented with old-world cooking techniques and designed his own custom equipment to smoke beef, pork and chicken to fall-off-the-bone perfection. What drives his crazy pursuit of excellence, you might ask? That moment when someone takes one bite and a spark fills their eyes with pure delight.
