The owner, Joe, is the sweetest & funniest man you will ever meet! A family owned BBQ place that makes the most delicious smoked meat you will ever taste in your life. SO TENDER, LITERALLY FALL OFF THE BONE. My favorite was the brisket; tender, juicy, smoked for over 16 hours in the smoker outside the restaurant. The portions are huge at a reasonable price. Not photographed was the garlic fries my grandpa bought and I swear I could get an entire basket of those bad boys! If you are in the Redding area, YOU MUST COME TO SMOKIN' JOES FOR THE BBQ IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA!

Well, it's been about a week since I came across Joe's barbecue there in Redding on our way home…read morefrom my uncle's funeral in Visalia California. I have to tell you , truthfully, I called 10 minutes before they were about to close . I begged the lady on the phone , I need to order something. I gotta try your barbecue I'm only 7 minutes away. So they put together a phone order, I showed up and who was sitting at the table but Joe. You talk about a friendly guy, we sat and chatted. I ended up opening up my meal, calling my sister to come in from the car and sit down. He went in the back and made me some concoction that was out of this world. Here's the thing the Carolina barbecue sauce made with the mustard is so freaking phenomenal. I bought a container of it and brought it home and put it in a glass jar and have been allowing my children to taste it on the back of a spoon and tonight we're actually going to barbecue wings and toss them in it. Hands down "This is the best Carolina honey barbecue sauce" I've ever tasted and I've tasted a lot. Whatever his secret is, I would love to have it cause I want to can it and I'm not sure why he doesn't bottle this and sell it himself. It is literally gold in a bottle. Now, as far as their sweet potatoes, I was so impressed because usually when you go to a barbecue place, they give you orange yams and call them sweet potatoes. Not this guy he had straight yellow sweet potatoes with some type of honey brown sugar goodness dripping over the top. The pork ribs were fantastic and so were the smothered fries with the barbecued pork my Lord just rub it on my hips. The hospitality was phenomenal. He gave me a little bit of his rub that he puts on his ribs. Just so I could smell it and have a sample because I am a chef. I told him he needs to come up to where we're from in Portland, Oregon, and bring his barbecue. Don't miss this spot it's BBq to live for!!!

We had a grilled romaine salad with blue cheese, walnuts, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and a balsamic glaze, with tri tip. It was to die for. Also we had a Triami sandwich-that's tri tip and pastrami. The pastrami was grilled to the almost crackle point and tastes fresh. The bread was fresh and toasted, and this came with tri tip, thinly sliced red onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, and melted provolone cheese. We left with some burnt ends, but I'm excited to eat those once I. One out of my food coma. Ramon brought our two hounds some bacon! Service was perfect, and we are so glad to try this place. Check for the hours. They say 'until sold out' which makes me think the food is completely fresh. We can't wait to come back!

I ordered my partner the burrito filled with pulled pork and macaroni and cheese, and it was like they ran out of tortillas but didn't tell me. They made fried cheese skirts instead of tortillas.

I ordered the two-meat choice plate with tri-tip and beef end tips, macaroni and cheese and a fully loaded baked potato this came with corn bread as well. This was super delicious. The staff was super friendly, fast, and efficient.

Bludso's in LA has been the only legitimate bbq I've had in California until now. Who would've thought in Redding of all places, I would find a legitimate bbq place. The brisket was great and their cranberry broccoli salad is FANTASTIC!!! (although $20 for a quart feels a bit pricey for a town of 89k. #justsaying). However; you get what you pay for. Love this place. Will be back real soon. My bday is on Tuesday and I think they're closed till the weekend but, I'll visit soon.

EVERYTHING about O'Dell's has been top shelf. We were in Redding recently for scheduled tastings…read morefor our daughter & future son-in-law's wedding, and started the dinner tastings at O'Dells. Little did we realize, no one else could compare! From initial email correspondence to picking up the leftovers, our contact Ashley was the model of professionalism, accuracy and kindness. She is a true Brand Ambassador! Upon arrival, we had a reserved table marked & waiting for us, we were greeted like family friends, the team was happy to delay our tasting a bit when some of the party arrived a little later than planned (yours truly), we were treated to a tableside discussion with one of the chefs, were presented with 3 trays of bread & salads, meat choices, sauces and condiments, and then following, a dessert of sampling of their killer lemon bars. After a brief conversation with us, the chef even presented us with a post-wedding snack that he whipped-up for us: barbacoa street tacos! OKAY, let's talk about their food. If you love smoked meats, this is the caterer for you. From the brisket & tri tip to ribs and shredded pork, everything was juicy and delicious, wonderful in their perfect smokiness. The poultry options were equally as great, although we all agreed the meat stole the show. The variety of homemade sauces were equally amazing, we especially loved the espresso bbq (WOWZA). Salad choices: something for everyone- we especially liked their vinegar based slaw and potato salad. The pillowy-soft honey butter rolls are to die for-practically dessert on their own. THEN there were the fresh-made lemon bars. Oo la la - they tasted like a mini lemon meringue pie. Too bad none were leftover for our late-night snacking! All tolled, the overall impression O'Dells team gave us for our kids BIG DAY could not be beat. They answered all our questions and were reassuring in describing their delivery & service the day of wedding (a remote location near McCloud). Through conversation, they proved what creative culinary professionals they are, identified the many local business contacts they work with (some we have also contracted) and THAT FOOD! If you are in the neighborhood on a Thursday or Friday for lunch, stop in. They are working on a restaurant across the street, but just be aware that these guys are POP-U-LAR and sell out pretty quickly on their open days. We can't wait to sample their great cuisine again soon, and especially on the big day. You will love it!!

On my first visit they were out of a few of their meats that we wanted to try. Fortunately I've been able to try a bit of everything on other visits. After much debate I can confidently give three stars. The service is prompt, and the food comes out relatively quickly. However, the BBQ is ok, the sides are ok, and the sauces are ok. Nothing has really stood out that makes me want to come back anymore. I will say that it is the better BBQ in the area though. The other spots are nowhere close. I just have much better options in SoCal.
