Not too happy with spending $90 for this bland bbq. Greens were barely cooked, no flavor with a spoon full of pulled pork added. The hot links are store bought. The brisket tacos were dry, saved by lime and salt. The pork ribs tasted funny, as if they added tenderizer to the meat. Potato salad was poorly seasoned. I'd love to have my money back on this order. read more

We went here for the first time and it won't be our last time. The BBQ sampler was well worth the money. Hands down best BBQ we have had in the Sacramento Area. The staff was friendly and the to go order was prepared within 10 minutes. All the food was prepared very well and I must say the corn bread was moist and could be eaten as a dessert. They also have a great outdoor dining area that will be great once the weather gets better (we went on rainy day). read more

Service, prices, hospitality, bevs and most importantly, the food, here are all absolutely stellar. Not the best pic, but most def the best fried pickles we've had in a while. Totally spot on, along with the plate we shared of tri tip, mac n cheese, and cowboy beans. This place is a local gem. read more

If you blink while traveling south on Freeport Boulevard from Oto's Marketplace in Sacramento, you may miss the tiny town of Freeport, population 58 according to the 2020 Census. And a stone's throw away from the Freeport Bridge and the Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Course alongside the Sacramento River is some of the tastiest BBQ in the region, at Brody's Restaurant. My cousin will have his birthday in Japan later this month, so I took him out for early birthday at Brody's, which caught our attention on social media. Brody's did not disappoint. We ordered the $69.99 Smokehouse Platter: 1/2 Rack of Pork Ribs, 1/2 lb of Pulled Pork, 1/2 Lb of Tri Tip, two smoked sausages with two sides of your choice. Serves 2 to 4 people. Unfortunately, by the time we got there at 6:30 pm, they were sold out of their coveted pork ribs and slow-cooked brisket. So we substituted the ribs for some tasty chicken wings, half BBQ, half lemon pepper. To soothe my disappointment over missing the ribs and brisket, I ordered their Candied Bacon, and while it may not be the same as the world famous Millionaire's Bacon at the Bay Area's Sweet Maple, it was surely tasty enough for this bacon lover at $5.99 for four pieces -- half the price of Millionaire's Bacon. And Jenny the hostess did her absolute best to find us two sample pork ribs after all. They tasted great with or without their sweet BBQ sauce. (Pro tip: get there or order by 2 pm or they may run out of ribs and brisket). Their wings were also very delicious, the pulled pork mouth-watering and the tri tip quite succulent as well. Most definitely will be back for the slow cooked brisket and full slab of pork ribs (which at $38.99 is a relative bargain compared to a full slab in SF, which could run up to $60!). Don't sleep on Brody's yo. I'll have to make it one of my remote offices and meeting spots. BTW the Smokehouse Platter is much too much for two people, so two people will leave with to-go boxes. Which isn't a bad thing at all. read more

We found this place on TikTok so we were excited to go we love trying new places. We drove from Roseville. We were there at 6pm on a Wednesday. I decided I was going to get the pork ribs and pulled pork. But they were out they only had enough for a half a slab which my friend got. So I ended up getting tri tip and pulled pork and my friend got the half a chicken we got Mac and cheese and greens. The greens to me didnt satisfy the my cravings they were ok definitely needed more flavor. The Mac and cheese was super creamy had a little kick it it it was ok the pulled pork had a sweet flavor to it from the bbq sauce that they put in it. I will say the thing that I actually liked was the cornbread and the spicy bbq sauce that I used to dip my pulled pork in because I don't like sweet the place was quiet not a lot of people. Definitely wasn't what I was expecting but the staff was nice read more

Tiny parking lot might be a good idea to order Togo. We were headed back from Oxnard and had stopped at Harrison Ranch BBQ. Unfortunately there was a 30-40minute wait so we got back on the road. This was the setup for Brody's close to I5 with online ordering made it a good option. I ordered the BBQ platter which comes with 1/2 rack of tender smokey meaty ribs. The fat on the ribs could've been rendered more but no other complaints. The platter also included hot links with some real heat in them. Smokey tender tri tip and the juiciest pulled pork I have ever had. For sides I picked potato salad and coleslaw. The sides are way to small for the 4-6 people the meal is supposed to feed. Overall this is some really tasty BBQ. Looking forward to ordering again. read more

Food was good, albeit overpriced. It goes way downhill from there. Tables were sticky from lack of proper cleaning between guests. But beyond that the service was horrendous. There were not a lot of people there, but apparently serving guests at a table at the same time was well beyond their ability. There were four of us and dishes came out five to ten minutes apart. As a result, if we wanted to eat when the other members of our party did our food would have been cold. If they were not 20 minutes away I would get take out, but otherwise I am one and done for Brody's. read more

A friend and I came stopped by Brody's not too long after it opened. We were wanting to try a new BBQ spot and couldn't decide where to go. After seeing different reviews on social media not to mention the food looked amazing we decided Brody's is the place to try out. When I arrived parking was a little difficult to get, but after waiting a few minutes I was able to park. I walked in and you get a menu and you order at the front. We dined in so they gave us a number. We ordered the platter to shared since it a great variety of meats and it also came with 2 sides if I remember correctly and we ordered extra sides. They have both indoor and outdoor seating if you're dining in. The inside is nice and cozy with ample seating as well as plenty of outdoor seating. The meat platter had brisket, sausages, ribs, pulled pork and our sides were cornbread, greens, Mac & cheese, cowboy beans and waffle fries. They are generous with the portions. I'm allergic to potatoes so I didn't try the fries although they looked crispy and delicious. The Mac & cheese was mid at best I would not order it again. The greens were pure perfection I ended up ordering more to go as well was the cornbread is amazing and I did order more of that I go as well. All the meat was delicious, juicy and flavorful. The cowboy beans were fantastic and ordered more to go. I was a big baby that day lol! The staff is great and told us about their brunch. I will definitely come back for that. If you're in the area or just want some delicious food check out Brody's. Thanks for reading and SYOY! read more

My husband suggested we try place so we decided to go by to try it. Mainly for their Dino ribs because he knows I like beef ribs. I went by a little after lunch so there wasn't many people. We wanted to dine in but unfortunately my 2 year old just fell asleep in the car and we didn't want to wake him and decided to order to go. We ordered online and picked it up. Upon arriving, we noticed they had an outdoor seating which was super cute. Perfect for family with kids who needed to run around, especially on days like the day we went because there was no one there. They had a bar area which was closed at the time and another door to the restaurant. We ordered a Dino rib, half lbs of pork ribs and 4 sides (collard greens, potato salad, coleslaw and cornbread). The Dino rib was huge (even though it doesn't look like it in my photo), it was cooked perfectly, nice and juicy and that smoke flavor just took it a step above. The pork ribs were great too. Flavor wasn't overpowering the meat. I love the texture of both. The sides though, for me I feel like it was lacking a lot of flavor. The collard greens was the best one of the 4 sides we got. Overall, I would again and this time we will definitely dine in instead. read more

Will definitely be returning back for happy hours and live music!! Thank you, Jenny for extra order of Cornbread, it was very much appreciated read more

I heard about how good this place was from friends and the review did not disappoint. I ordered the platter, tri tip sandwich, an IPA, and my wife had a mocktail. The food and drinks came out quick and was delicious as expected. Adi the bartender had our drinks coming out and my wife complimented the mocktail. He even came out to check on us and bus our table. We had a great conversation with Jenny about our day and plans for our Friday night. We will be coming back for sure. read more

Shoutout to my amazing bartender Elvis today! He gave me the warmest welcome I've ever received and he was very patient with my questions.. and I had a lot. Also the general manager was even better. I got to have a tour of all views and rooms. I've genuinely never felt more welcome. On top of all that I tried their cornbread and it almost brought me to tears!! I've from the south and my grandmother would always make us the moistest most flavorful cornbread and today Brody's just gave her a run for her money!! I will be back and I will be back with the whole fam!! Thank you all so much read more

Great wonderful ribs & tri - tip. Always busy and sometimes run out of items. Staff is great. Great seating inside and out.

The food was good and their spicy bbq was our personal favorite. I enjoyed the flavors of the meat. The ribs were our favorite. The pulled pork comes mixed with bbq sauce already which was a little sad for me because I would've liked to taste it without the sauce but it was still delicious. Mac and cheese and collard greens were decent. At first arriving there's a lot of doors and we weren't quite sure which one to enter first. I had the Vietnamese coffee which I am actually in love with. Service was just okay. I would probably come again for some good bbq. read more

A friend and I played golf up the street and were starving and thirsty. We were going to go to our usual place, but decided to try Brody's out for. Some bbq. Well, service was terrible! Went into the bar area to grab a beer and order food. Bar tender couldn't even look our way when we stood at bar for at least 10 minutes. Decided to go in the other door for food order, but one guy making some dessert things, other guy who knows what and a lady just standing waiting for food from the kitchen window. Extremely disappointed and needless to say, will never go back. Freeport bar & grill will always get our business after a great round of golf At Cavanaugh! read more

Went to Brody's after seeing it on a friends story & had to stop by. We went in about 45 minutes before closing time & the staff did an amazing job accommodating while welcoming us with open arms. The ambiance is the perfect atmosphere for some good barbecue. The food -- amazing. We ordered Smokehouse Platter for the two of us and it was plenty of food. I can tell that these meats have been perfectly cooked for my taste buds. To top off the experience -- live music. What's better than live music to pair with your meal? Nothing! Brody's lives up to the hype & I cannot wait to spread the word. To only be 15 minutes away from me, I'm glad I was able to find another reliable restaurant. You'll definitely be seeing me there again! read more

Jenny the owner is cool. Good food, and nice atmosphere. Me and my wife having a cocktail there, and talking with the staff.

I've always wanted to try this place and today was THE day! Freeport area, just minutes from Delta Shores, you've probably passed it on your way to Clarksburg, local wineries, on the way to go fishing as it's a step away from Romeo's bait shop. Highlights *Indoor & outdoor seating *the vibe/decor *family & pet friendly *beer and soju mixed drinks *nice selection of bbq plates/burgers/salad What we ordered *chicken burger with salad *tritip burger w/waffle fries I really enjoyed our food. Hubby has been here who has had their pulled pork and was just as happy with his chicken. He did try my tritip and he was delighted! I think he may end up getting that next time lol What to expect: Greeted at the door with a warm hello and given a menu. When you're ready, walk over to the counter and place your order. Take your order number and get situated at a table. Would have loved to enjoy their outdoor space but it rained today :( Self serve water, BBQ sauce/condiments. Food came fast, hot and fresh. Service was good - just enough but no extra touches; which I really take into account when I give my stars. Yes. As others have noted in their reviews, it is a little pricey but the portions were generous and your can tell the chef/cooks enjoy what they are making for us. A hint of love in the presentation. I will definitely come again! * limited parking space - I can see this being a problem but this was NOT a problem today. Parking up front baby!!! read more

Food was bleek! I had the tri tip loaded fries and the amount of tri tip was laughable! The cheese sauce was over powering and thick the fries were already soggy when the plate was brought out! Which leaves me to believe that it was sitting there for awhile. There was more tri tip on thier sandwich! Which for the same price I would of thought the portions would be the same! All I tasted was smoke and not much flavor! To each is own! Dont be fooled by the picture most of that was the roasted peppers and onions! read more

Wow--Brody's is easily the best restaurant I've visited this year! From the flavorful food to the unique self-service setup, everything about this place impressed me. Here, you handle everything yourself--from grabbing sauces, plates, and silverware to boxing up your leftovers. When you walk in, you'll find the register near the condiment section, where you can serve yourself with any of their amazing sauces (more on that later). You get menus upon arrival, but you'll need to head to the register when you're ready to order. The star of the show here is their homemade barbecue sauce--hands down the best I've ever had. I don't even like BBQ sauce, but I couldn't get enough of this one! I visited with a party of 9 and for my order I got, Smoked Chicken Quesadilla, a Burger (can't recall which one specifically), Smokehouse Platter (comes with two sides--I chose fries and mac & cheese), and 3 Cocktails The total for all this came to $180, pricy but isn't too bad considering the large portions. Speaking of value, their cornbread is priced at $10, but you get two big slices, and it's totally worth it--dense, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Everything I tried was excellent, including their mac & cheese, which was creamy and well-seasoned. Their wings were also massive, just like the rest of the portions. Overall, I don't think there was a single dish I didn't enjoy. The dining area is spacious, making it a great spot for big parties, and there's outdoor seating available as well. The staff was friendly and attentive, which added to the experience. After your meal, you can also check out their bar next door, though I didn't get a chance to visit this time--I'll definitely be back for it. The restaurant has its own lot, average size with about maybe 14 spaces. I visited on a Thursday afternoon, and it wasn't busy, but I'm not sure how packed it gets on weekends. Either way, I left with lots of leftovers, which is always a plus! I also noticed that they have a breakfast menu I believe so I would love to try that! All in all, Brody's is a must-visit for BBQ lovers. The portions are huge, the flavors are bold, and the experience is unique. Whether you're dining in or taking some home, you'll get great value for your money. I'll definitely be back! read more

Walking into Brody's feels like you just stumbled into a little BBQ joint in a small country town. It's cozy, laid back, and everyone there seems to know how to make you feel at home. The vibe is super relaxed, no rush, no fuss. Just good food, good drinks, and good people. The BBQ here is the real deal. The beef rib is huge and tender, with just the right amount of smoky flavor. Pulled pork and tri-tip are spot on as well, and the sides taste like they were made in someone's kitchen, not out of a box. The cornbread is sweet and buttery, the mac and cheese is creamy and cheesy, and even the collard greens are worth ordering. They also have a solid drink selection. I had the Mystic Cloud hazy IPA and it was good. There are plenty of other beers and cocktails, so it is just as easy to come here for a drink and hang out as it is for a full meal. The service is warm and welcoming. Our server treated us like regulars, even though it was our first time. Drinks were kept full, food came out hot, and they checked in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed without hovering. read more

Soooooooooo disappointing! Took my friend here for her birthday on Thursday March 5. We had read the reviews and were so excited...and with all the cars out front we had high expectations! Entering the place there were 2 customers inside. Two. Add us and there were 4. Then I looked outside confused because there's even overdose parking!! Two tables outside had consumers take about 10 TOTAL, 4 groups (including my friend and I). I ordered the tri tip on the cashiers recommendation and the greens (which were supposed to be cooked for like 3 days with pork, and the candied bacon (since I'd never had candied bacon before)! Loaded up with BBQ Sauce and headed to our table. The food arrived and not only do I make better tri tip than this place, but there was NO pork, or any meat in my greens. I make some mean greens and was looking forward to enjoying other great greens. NO MEAT AT ALL. Furthermore, I received about 6 tummy cold slices of weird colored tri tip, and my friend was nodding (negatively) regarding her tri tip sandwich. The bacon was not only undercooked but it had ZERO SWEETNESS at all to it. My friend kept apologizing because she selected this place for her birthday and the distance to get there, the overpriced menu, and the VERY DISAPPOINTING FOOD...was such a let down HUGE LET DOWN, I DO NOT GET THE HYPE ABOUT THIS PLACE. We were there about 2:30 on a Thursday As I was leaving I told a different cashier about my "candied bacon", asking if it was supposed to be sweet because it was just regular bacon with chili flakes. He went to ask the chef and brought Mel a couple slices which I, again, got all excited about...only to discover when I tried it, SAME THING. Undercooked and no sweetness whatsoever. Maybe it's the booze menu? Maybe they have a real chef on weekends? The ONLY good thing about this place is the outside area. It's pretty. That's it. Certainly not worth the $50++ bucks I paid out (my friend insisted on paying her own at over $30 for a sandwich she couldn't even finish because it wasn't worth eating. $100 lunch. What a waste. Wait! There's one more good thing! The BBQ sauces (2)...regular and spicy were yummy. Not anything special, but yummy.. That was the ONLY way I could stomach my tri tip was dipping it in the sauce...a LOT of sauce to each bite of tri tip. Last word...who serves steak without a knife? Brody's. GIVE DISAPPOINTMENT. Sorry Freeport...so sorry for this awful experience, waste of money, and poor, but honest, review!! read more

Great discovery along Freeport, just past Cosumnes River Blvd. Not a ton of great BBQ options nearby, so I was stoked when I came across this place. Their fries (topped with Tri-tip, pulled pork, etc.) are a great option for the solo diner, and their sampler platter is comparable to Urban Roots with a similar price point. Good brisket, good pulled pork, tasty hot links - what's not to like? They also have a really nice outdoor space if that's your jam. Family friendly, with both the outside area and an indoor dining room. Good beers on tap, and lots of parking -- it was great for a post scooter ride bite. I've already been back! read more

Had high hopes for this place based on reviews but it fell a little short for me. Parking can be a pain if this place is busy, they do have a small overflow lot though. You grab a menu and order at the counter, so not a table service kind of place. It is pretty pricy so be forewarned. They do have alcoholic drinks but they are made with Soju not actual vodka or tequila. Food arrived pretty quickly. My pulled pork sandwich was a decent size for the price and it was drenched in sauce. My son's BLT looked big but it was all the lettuce and tomato fluffing it up with not very much bacon for the price. read more

We sat at the bar, and Jill, the bartender, made the experience even better. She was super sweet, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing, and she really made us feel welcome the whole time we were there. She kept things moving smoothly even when it got a little busy, and still took the time to check in and make sure we were good. The drinks were also pretty cheap! Great service can really make a difference, and she definitely stood out in the best way.. It felt like a comfortable spot to unwind, and the combination of good food, beautiful views, and friendly staff really made the whole experience amazing. read more

This is my second review on this place. It was once almost a 5. Not anymore. Ribs are tough. Pulled anything is drowning in sauce. Overly Smokey - ease up. Can't even taste the meat. Wish it wasn't so. But for the price. Nah. Not even if it was cheaper. Also every single table was not wiped off. read more
