10/10 BBQ, yard games, pet-friendly, outdoor and indoor dining...what better can you ask for? The patios are beautiful, fun, and dog friendly!! Loved that we were able to enjoy the sun in any spot you sit. The smell of the smoker was divine. The pulled pork sandwich is stuffed with meat (so I saved the extra for later). The tri tip sandwich was so tender and flavorful. The toppings on both were the best complement. Don't get me started on the fries!! They were so fluffy and flavorful. Paired well with ketchup, ranch, or bbq. As soon as we arrived, everyone greeted us with a smile and were patient with us when looking at the menu. 11/10 would recommend! read more

If you're looking for great BBQ and a relaxed outdoor dining spot, Brody's is definitely worth a visit. My husband and I stopped in for an impromptu dinner date on our way home and were blown away. Everything about this place was amazing. It's rare to find a restaurant where everything from the food to the service is this good. I had the BBQ chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich -- both were so good. And the cornbread? Absolutely delicious! Our food came out quickly, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the outdoor dining area was beautiful and made for the perfect relaxed dinner setting. On our way out, we even stopped to tell the manager, Jenny, how much we enjoyed our visit. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending Brody's to our friends and family! read more

Very nice hidden spot! I had the tri tip omelette and I was please try surprised. I thought the dish would be heavy since I was getting a heavy meat for breakfast but it was light and went well with the omelette. The country potatoes were a nice side as well. The place is nestled behind delta shores and has a good amount of seats inside and out. I will come back for a dinner to try all of the meats. read more

Saw this spot all over social media and just had to come. Sac has been in major need of a solid BBQ spot for awhile. We decided to get the Smokehouse platter to try a bunch of their signature offerings. Pork ribs: A Super fatty and tender, these have some incredible flavor and texture. Goes great with their homemade spicy BBQ sauce. Pulled pork: A- This is actually quite good. Some places have pulled pork that ends up being bland, but here there is a lot more sauce and browning on the pork so every bite takes you to flavor town. Tri-tip: A- Very tender and seasoned well. I've had some dry tri tip before but this one is moist and easy to eat. It's quite heavy on the black pepper though. Smoked sausage: B+ Pretty good sausage. It definitely has a smokey Cajun flavor so if that's your preference you'll like this. Mac n cheese: B Nice al dente texture on the noodles. Tastes pretty good but could have more cheese. Collard greens: A+ Fantastic collard greens, stewed long enough to make them tender and it has some pork in it that gives it a great flavor. One of my favorite greens! Easy to order, plenty of indoor/outdoor seating, good and quick service. Tons of parking out front. I would definitely recommend Brody's if you're craving BBQ in Sacramento! read more

The vibe of this place is so cute, you order first then sit down, everything is sold separately so pick your meats, then your sides. The food is so flavorful I was looking for a good bbq spot but all the ones I wanted were further south I decided to try a new spot and it was so worth it. I would 10/10 try this place. Service was also good too. read more

Tuesday afternoon 4:00 on a rainy day was a perfect first time in the Side Door. Jill took great care of us and she struck me as the perfect match for this cute little side nook bar. There is a bar food menu as well as the full menu. The tri tip tacos were tasty. read more

I played golf at Bartley Cavanaugh up the road. Stopped in for a Happy Hour (3-6) bite. I ordered the Tri-Tip sandwich with Waffle Fries and a side of the Granny's Cole Slaw. The tri tip was very tender and the waffle fries had a sprinkling of garlic and parm. The coleslaw had a slight sweetness, exactly the way I like. I had Rebecca as my server. She was very attentive and pleasant. I stayed long enough to watch the end of Princess Bride on the Telly. This location is awesome. It's right off the levee and Hwy 160. The interior is just like you'd expect a BBQ joint to look like. The country music is a great touch. I'll definitely be back. read more

Visited March 14, 2026. The place was busy but not overwhelming. Unfortunately, the service was terrible from start to finish. We ordered our sides and main dishes and were told the wait would be about 25 minutes. We went to the bar to get drinks, but the bartender didn't acknowledge us until she finished chatting with other customers. After ordering two beers, we stepped outside to wait. Fifteen minutes later, we checked with a server about our drinks and appetizers. The server returned to tell us they had run out of glasses and asked if it was okay to serve the beers in plastic cups. Really? That required a decision? We also asked again about our food. The server eventually brought the beers, our appetizer, and two of our sides -- but still no sign of our main dishes. After 50 minutes, we learned our main order had never been placed. When they finally corrected it, the food came out in a to‑go bag, missing two of our sides. We got a quick "we're sorry" and a complimentary cookie. We won't be back. read more

the food was just ok , nothing outstanding! we ordered the platter! wings were not good? the tri tip was good, ribs were ok with the hot sauce , mac n cheese was good! backed beans were ok . $75 dollars, serving was good! they were consistently cleaning! smelled cigarettes outside! nasty just ok read more

Found my new favorite BBQ spot! Did someone say (Dino) Beef Rib?! Yes please!!! I found Brody's because of an ad I saw on Instagram and bc of EatwithCass ;) Brody's can be found in the Freeport area on your way to Old Sugar Mill Winery. It's beautifully remodeled where they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. They have it set up where the bar and restaurant is separate. You go in to order your food, then they provide you a number and a rubber brings out your food. I loveddddd my big a$$ beef rib! This baby had so much meat on it I had leftovers, yay me! Hubby got the tritip burger which was fantastic! Also his crisscut fries were cooked perfectly. Everything was seasoned to my liking. I would eat here again and again! A true 5 star review for me is not only the delicious food but also the ambiance and service, which was all great here. I was able to meet, Stephanie the GM during our visit. She was very welcoming and said that hopefully in the future they will have live music on specific nights. Can't wait! Note: The only downfall is parking spaces, there isn't enough. read more

update: went back to try their other entrees and to see if the hospitality has improved. Thumbs up! We were welcomed and treated as honored patrons. A good start. So what did we order? 1) chicken breakfast burrito: my dining companion said the chicken was moist and favorable. he enjoyed his entree and the salsa and sour cream were perfect accompaniments. He said he would bring his family back-which is a good sign. 2) Levi's burger: basically 2 beef patties, bacon, and cheese. this basic simple burger was not too greasy, had a very nice beefy flavor, did not appear frozen beef patties, had nice pieces of bacon all served on a brioche bun. My arteries are clogging up just thinking about this wonderful tasty burger. The burger is a bit small for the price point, but i guess i would rather have a really good quality tasty burger versus a low quality cheaper burger. We ran into the chef as we were leaving and he explained their goal is to service good quality food. So yes i will return. read more

Came for dinner Thursday night and had a great experience at Brody's BBQ! The service was friendly, fast, and made us feel really welcome from the moment we walked in. The staff was attentive without being over the top, especially Sam she is awesome ! This made the whole visit relaxed and enjoyable. The food was just as good--the BBQ was flavorful, cooked really well, and came out hot and fresh. Everything we tried tasted great, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Definitely a spot we'd come back to! read more

Came for a bite and left speechless. Great experience! Food was delicious and the drinks were refreshing! Props to the chefs and bartenders and staff making it a great experience read more

Brody's Restaurant - From drinks to food! - Barbeque Near Me - Sacramento, California

I wasn't expecting much but it was in the area. The tri-tip sandwich was super moist and delicious. Service was thoughtful and attentive as well. A bit expensive for the entrees; entree and sides are alacarte. So I stuck to the sandwich side, which was still a bit steep, $18, but I guess about typical. It did come with either waffle fries or a Cesar. Total with drink about $20. I'll give them another visit for sure. read more

The food & service were both sub par. My friend ordered a steak salad & it came out extremely rare. They didn't ask how she wanted it cooked, but when she sent it back we were told that all of the meat is pre-cooked together at the same temp, etc. My tri-tip was overcooked & I also sent it back. When she brought out the "new" one it looked exactly the same. Our food took 45+ minutes to come out. The only thing that was a positive is that you definitely get your value for what you pay for drinks. Our tequila soda was definitely a double shot. read more

First time at Brody's a few weeks ago with high expectations, and we ordered big: half chicken, pulled pork, ribs, a tri-tip sandwich, sides, the works. The space is nice and parking is easy, but the vibe dipped when two older asian lady staff members were openly arguing. Food came out very fast, which showed. The meats were under-seasoned and overcooked, with the beef rib being especially dry. The sides didn't help -- room-temperature mac and cheese with over cooked pasta, oily collard greens, bland coleslaw, and forgettable cornbread. The latte was the worst item we had. We spent $191, and the quality didn't match the stars online and on Google. Staff was okay, but overall this one missed hard. Tried to ask for a manager but said there was none availiable. Will not be going back. I felt like We were ripped off. read more

Me and my husband came here Saturday night for a date nite. Every time we drive by we see that this place is packed.

We ordered the bbq platter so we could try a little bit of everything and then ordered two extra sides. read more

My Husband Daughter and I went here on Saturday. We sat at the bar side. Cool look and vibe BUT I wanted a Martini but they didn't have vermouth. So I asked for a Jameson and ginger ale, they didn't have ginger ale. Whatever right. Anyways we ordered food. We were told the fryer was broken so no waffle fries or anything fried. Bummer. We ordered. We waited 40 minutes for our food. We were told that they had a big catering job so they are behind. But 2 tables were served their food before us AND they had waffle fries. Our food finally came out well my husbands and daughters did. I told them to eat and not wait for me. I got my food 10 minutes after them. They were almost done by the time I got my food. We waited long enough so I asked for mine to go. Super disappointing. The food was alright but the experience was terrible. read more

Drove out to Elk Grove today to do some shopping at Delta Shores and all that money spending made us hungry. I looked up food places nearby and Brody's popped up as first on the list. We found out that they have only been open for 4 months! The inside is very rustic and laid back with wooden tables and chairs. The place isn't very big, but there is a nice outdoor patio area as well. I noticed a pretty decent sized bar too! We ordered the Freeport Burger (added bacon) with a side Caesar Salad and the Steak Chili Fries to share. The portions were huge and I'm glad we opted to share our meal. We loved all of the food - everything was seasoned well and had great flavor. We were big fans of the fries and our friends really liked the Mac and Cheese they ordered. Our friend's mom ordered the BLTA and it was a huge sandwich - she took half of it home with her. The prices are a little high, but the portions definitely make up for it. I want to come back next time and try the Smokehouse Platter that serves 2-4 people for $75. There was also a French Dip on the special menu that I hope is there next time as well. Service was friendly - you order at the counter and they bring your food to your table, but the workers were attentive and did a great job checking on us. We will definitely be back soon - check them out! read more

After a ln afternoon spent wine tasting at the Old Sugar Mill 5 minutes down the road, my friend and I decided we needed to eat something to end our day out. We both noticed Brody's since it's right on Freeport and we passed it on our way to wine tasting. We stopped in on Saturday night around 5 and it wasn't super crowded so we were able to order and sit right away. I ordered the half chicken with the tri tip chili and it was so good! the chili was smokey, thick and had delicious tri tip pieces in every bite. The chicken was smoky and juicy and I devoured it. Right behind where you order they have two giant pots of bbq sauce that you can serve yourself with and it was the perfect balance of sweet and smokey. This is a must try bbq spot. read more

Wow! Great BBQ! We got the platter with a little of everything and we got some great sides, Mac & Cheese, collard greens, steak chili, and corn bread. Everything was amazing. Nice little spot on the side of the leveling Freeport. Great seating, lots of room and very comfortable. Service was very good. The young lady who brought our food also got us refills for our sodas. The ladies topped off their dinner with apple cobbler with ice cream. Delicious!!!! Finally a place with good BBQ in Sacramento! Thank you Brodys for a very enjoyable meal and experience. read more

Brody's Restaurant - Sample platter with sides - Barbeque Near Me - Sacramento, California

I felt the reviews were to inconsistent so I had to try it myself. Definitely go within 4 hours of opening, we got there at 11:30am, ribs were dry We ordered the Platter, came w 1/2 ribs, 1/2 brisket, some smoked ssg, pulled pork, & 2 sides. Total with tax was 100ish. Ribs were disappointing 4/10, felt like I was ripping carpet & pulling stuff out my teeth hours later. Brisket lacked flavor & was tuff. Pulled pork & smoked ssg was very good, even better w either sauces. The idea paying before eating to me is still foreign, paying almost 110 before my meal & for sub par food really frustrated me. We also ordered the chicken bbq sandwich, way too much butter, chicken was super tough & stringy. The portions for sides, for 100$ was just horrendous. (See pics) Overall go early, 7/10 don't get the ribs (could be a day to day thing idk) read more

We came for brunch and we're just amazed by the ginormous smokers. We got the tri-tip breakfast burrito, which was a little bit disappointing because it didn't really come with any sauce. The tiniest bit of salsa was all, and the meat was chopped up and a little tiny Dicey cubes that were so small. I didn't really like that at all. There was a nice smoky flavor to the meat, but besides that no real flavor needed salsa. Table mate got the tri-tip sandwich which she said was rather dry and the other table mate got the tri-tip scramble which she was not really impressed with because it had a tiny little dice up mean as well. Don't think I'd come back unless I was getting a barbecue platter. Sodas are nearly 5 dollars which I thought was a little steep. The burrito was huge but $20+ if I do come back, it'll probably be for happy hour. read more

5-9-26 This place is really cool. You can smell the BBQ as soon as you enter the parking lot. The outside patio is very relaxing and a fun vibe to eat some good BBQ. They have good drink specials pretty much all day if you order from the bar including $5 a good selection of draft beers and other cocktails. We ordered the smokehouse platter with Mac n cheese and potato salad. Everything came out fresh and was very tasty. The staff are all really nice and seem very genuine. We will definitely be coming back on a regular basis. It's not far off of the freeway so the location is easy to get to. Definitely worth stopping by. Thank you Elvis and Eric, you guys are awesome! read more

06/02/2025 at 12:52 PM Bartender: N/A Bar Back: N/A Server: Julian L FOOD & DRINKS The Tri-Tip ($31.95) is cooked nicely and has good flavor. I didn't have a scale with me You can look at the picture in this review and judge for yourself if it appears to be a full pound. I think it is. Side of collard greens ($7.95) was cooked aldente, the way I like it. There was shredded port in the greens. I would have preferred bits of bacon or fatty ham rather than shredded pork. The greens tasted good. I think for $7.95 there should have been a bit more. Side of corn bread ($9.95) was good. Could be a dollar cheaper in my opinion or kick it up a notch. It is tasty, just slightly expensive. Side of Granny Coleslaw ($7.95), as far as I could tell had NO Granny smith apples. This is it's calling card, Granny Smith apples in the slaw. It's in the name, it's in the description and try as I might, I couldn't find any in the slaw. I dug to the bottom from multiple sides, ate from the top and nowhere was I able to taste (not even a hint) of Granny Smith apples. These are my favorite apples to eat and love their flavor. Peach Margarita ($15) was tasty and has some room for improvement. Crushed ice was used rather than cubes. Could slightly taste the tequila over the peach and lime. This was made by a young man, not sure if over 21, not a permanent bartender. Not sure if they have bartenders, it might be that each server make the ordered cocktails. I'm not a fan of wait staff making the cocktails. You may want to stick with beer. SERVICE It was adequate. I walked in the door before 1 PM and the kitchen staff called out to the staff member helping me, "no more brunch!". Luckily I wasn't there to have a late breakfast. They refunded my Granny Coleslaw, that was good. They were nice helping me get the only table with an outlet. They were polite. DECOR Nice decor for BBQ restaurant with plenty of seating both inside and out, three different seating areas outside. CLEANLINESS Relatively clean, the table is a little tacky to the touch. Might be warm skin moisture makes it feel that way. LOCATION On the river road in Freeport, nice location. PRICE Seems a bit on the expensive side. OVERALL EXPERIENCE Enough good to out weigh the various short comings to warrant a return visit on a different day at a different time. They weren't busy at all. I'm wondering if things improve during busy times when everything and everyone is firing on all cylinders. read more

Great concept and ambience. Friendly service. Great location, good seating options. We had burgers and they were bland. Flavors just didn't show up. Hopefully the BBQ (their specialty) is better than their burgers. It's also cafe style, so you grab a menu, order at the counter and then grab your silverware on your way to sitting down. But this wasn't all clear at first which was awkward, and we could see other patrons sitting down first and waiting 10 minutes to be served before they realized the situation. read more

Finally a BBQ restaurant closer to home! This place is amazing! Dined in with friends for dinner and we tried a variety of smoked meats. The ribs, chicken and pulled pork were all very tasty & smoking with flavor! I've always prefer chicken over all other meats and this placed nailed it! It was very tender and not over cooked unlike most other BBQ places I've been to. And the sides......OMMGGG! ALLLL the sides were a hit for me. So good that I couldn't stop raving about it to my husband on the way home. Collard greens, Mac & cheese and potato salad were so SO delish! My daughter loved their Mac & cheese!!! My son never eats corn bread, but he was asking for seconds and thirds here! This place shines & is definitely a hidden gem located off Freeport & I5. Worth coming to if you're in the mood for BBQ food. I am definitely going to be coming back as a regular here!! read more

Really good food options here. I love a place that offers beef ribs. Cute indoor/ outdoor area and large booths for families. The food was great and omg that cornbread was phenomenal. Got the sampler platter and added beef ribs. It is very pricey though! It isnt a place we would go to very often because you will spend a fortune. Oh and a $14 mocktail... come on that is ridiculous. read more

Came here to dine and gotta say, the Mac, salad tasted so much better than the beef ribs itself. The environment was very cabin style/esque. Service is ok but you have to order in person before seating. The ribs had great smoke and flavor but it was so hard to chew into. I had to use a fork and knife. read more
