I came here and got the fries and pulled pork sandwich. I wasn’t too impressed with the pulled pork sandwich as I had high expectations on the way it should taste. I liked the way it looked better than the taste to be honest. The fries were ok I didn’t really want them anyways. I felt like a lot of the meat pieces were dry. The virgin drink I had was good though! And the service was great 🙂
Great little spot on a crappy little strip mall.RD’s Southern is a little gem that blends in with all the other crappy looking stores that neighbor around it, but the food itself should set itself apart from the rest. The place is real small with a kitchen that shares a hallway. The people working there are real friendly and helpful. Menu has all the southern favorites and prices aren’t bad either.Smoked wings were great. The wings were coated with this smokey and sticky-sweet sauce. It had a bit of a char on it, which I enjoyed, but there was a bit of a sauce overload which lots of people tend to love. (I’m not really one of those people). The wings were giant, meaty, and surprisingly crisp for sauce-drenched smokey wings.The beef brisket were nicely sliced pieces of beef. We ordered a beef brisket sandwich without the bread, so we got a bit extra beef brisket. It’s roughly half a pound per sandwich which is a nice amount for $7. The brisket was coated again in sauce, but the meat was tender and retained some nice juiciness to it. Most brisket I’ve had around is pretty dry, but this place did a wonderful job of that…and no, it wasn’t the sauce that made it juicy.The Ribs are the subject of debate for me. Everybody loves baby back ribs, but for real southern ribs, I think they have to be spare ribs. Snobbiness aside, the ribs were done well too. The sauce that coated it was sticky and sweet with a nice little kick as well. Meat fell right off the bone, and not too fatty either. When I compare it to places like Big Bone BBQ, where the meat is a bit more dry, charred, and smokey, I tend to enjoy those a bit more. RD’s does a good job of catering to those who love the saucy BBQ, a la KC City style BBQ. For those who love sauce on sauce with their BBQ, this is the place to go. cheatdayeveryday.com
I’ve had some incredible barbecue in dives in the southern states and even big chains, but despite giving RD’s a try more than once, I just can’t call them a good BBQ place despite the surprising amount of rave reviews.The people there seem nice enough but I’ve had to wait for over 20 minutes on each of my two or three visits, even when calling in advance.The food simply isn’t good. Maybe I’ve had some bad luck there, but more than once??? The ribs were dried out and flavorless and slathered in BBQ sauce in an effort to make them taste like something – except the sauce wasn’t good either. The fried foods were just greasy and disgusting.Honestly, we made an effort to try and get through as much of the meal as we could just to not have felt to have thrown that money away. This all pains me to say because I love to support independent business. I’m glad so many people like it and wish them well, but I’ll go to a Montana’s location or Memphis BBQ in Woodbridge for my BBQ in the NW GTA.
Waited over 30 minutes to get brisket and fries. They managed to serve 2 people that arrived after me, but somehow couldn’t make or give me my order in 30 min. I’m literally still standing here waiting for it as I type…
My very first review! This was more of an experience than just great food. My first time there and EVERYTHING WAS to die for. I had poboy catfish along with mac n cheese n pulled pork poutine. Couldn’t find a single thing to complain about. Thanks guys and I will definitely be coming back again and again.
Delicious Food & Great Service. Had lunch catered for a group of 10. All were pleased and left with sleepy & supremely satisfied smiles.
My best friend recently moved into the neighbourhood and I found this hole in the wall that was absolutely amazing. Delicious food!!!Ribs were cooked well, the meat was literally falling off the bone. The Mammoth poutine was huge and filled with pulled pork and beef brisket, with cheese curds and gravy.Only down-side is if they run out of corn bread!!Service wasn’t too bad considering they were really busy.Atmosphere.. It’s a hole in the wall. Nothing special, there’s a couple tables but it’s a small joint. Overall, the food was delicious!! I’d definitely recommend and go back!
