    Fully loaded baked potato from Odoms BBQ
    Pamela M.

    I love Odoms BBQ!!! My favorite is the fully loaded baked potato. I gets it with chopped beef, butter, sour cream and cheese. Delicious

    Steam table

    Let me point out a few details: This is a hole in the establishment. That's not a bad thing, but don't come here anticipating 4 star service. Babii, this is the hood, plain and simple. If you are in a rush or limited on time, this isn't the place for you. The service moves slowly. However, as soon as the doors open, it's packed. Seating is limited, and if the A/C is working, the circulation is minimal. The ladies that work the counter aren't rude they're simply used to the clientele they service. They match everyone's energy. I promise we eat here once a month. I haven't had one dish that wasn't on point. L to R: Oxtails over gravy, slick leaf greens, mac n cheese, cornbread dressing. Veggies plate: cabbage, yams, mac n cheese, black eye peas with corn muffins The prices are reasonable. However, due to inflation, they are slowly increasing. Yelpers if you want some solid soil food & bbq slide on down to Odoms.

    Chopped beef sandwich
    Hilary A.

    I do not think I will ever get bbq from any other bbq spot than Odoms! WOW is my summary for this place lol. I ordered a rib sandwich and a large chopped beef sandwich. When you go in there is no seating due to covid, but the line is distanced well in guidelines with covid. The lady who took my order was pretty cool. My food took like 10 minutes to finish. The price was decent for the size of the meal, but be ready to spend a decent penny on a good meal. The chopped beef sandwich was AMAZING!! Like it was packed with beef and sweet bbq, I am daydreaming about it right now! The rib sandwich was also delicious but I do prefer the chopped beef sandwich. The nines in the rib sandwich slide right out so in case you were wondering how you would eat it there you go. Overall I will Definitely be back to Odoms & I recommend you do too!!

    I decided to try this place since it was just around the corner. I had the 2 meat plate with ribs and links. We also got the 1/2 chicken plate. First of all, I asked if I could substitute the potato salad and he said no that's the way it comes or I'll have to get double beans. Then he asked way? I do not like or eat potato salad. It would have been nice to have another option or at least some chips instead. He later tried to explain after the order was ready that other options would have been available but not on Saturday. We did not enjoy our meal. The meat was swimming in thin watery bbq sauce. It wasn't even tasty. The links were okay and so were the beans, but how can you mess up a can of ranch style beans. Needless to say, we went to bed hungry. It was a waste of food and money. I will not be returning to this establishment.

    My wife and I visited a barbecue restaurant we hadn't tried yet, "Rosako's Soulfood and BBQ." (2816…read moreBrown Trail, Bedford, TX 76021) As soon as I got out of my car, I knew I'd found something interesting. The restaurant had a sign stating, "Electric vehicle charging available here." Just to the right of the sign were two Level 2 chargers. We each ordered two 2 meat plates, which included two sides. When we got home and opened the to-go boxes, we realized we had WAY over-ordered. We had enough for two meals for each of us! We had chicken and pork ribs, mac & cheese and flat green beans. It was very tasty with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. I spoke with the owner and thanked him for supporting EVs, to which he replied, "How could I not? It's what's coming. How could I not get on board?" He mentioned that quite a few of his customers found him on Plugshare.com and stop by regularly for a meal and charge. I had to Google "So mote it be."

    We decided to order from this restaurant through the Too Good To Go app…read more I rarely write harsh reviews, but this experience deserves every bit of criticism. What happened today was unacceptable from the moment we walked in. The place was visibly dirty and completely unappetizing. The back area was mostly hidden behind what looked like a shower curtain, which did nothing to inspire confidence. There appeared to be only one man working, and he came out only a few times during the entire 45 minutes we waited. Even more concerning, there was a child who looked to be about eight or nine years old wearing latex gloves and repeatedly coming out to the front, apparently helping with restaurant tasks that no child should be doing. Despite having prepaid through Too Good To Go, no one acknowledged us for nearly 10 minutes. We stood in a hot dining room with almost no air conditioning while the child wandered in and out and the adult remained behind the curtain. More people arrived behind us, also with prepaid orders, until there were about 10 people waiting. We watched three other customers receive their food before us. One was a DoorDash driver, which made sense, and one woman had arrived before us. However, another woman with a very small order was served ahead of us even though she arrived after we did. When the man finally came out, we showed him our Too Good To Go order. He swiped the app, marking our order as picked up, then disappeared behind the curtain again and never returned with our food. After waiting 45 minutes in a sweltering dining room on a nearly 100-degree Texas day, we gave up. We left without the food we had already paid for. At that point, losing the cost of the meal was preferable to staying in that environment any longer. This was one of the worst pickup experiences I have ever had. Between the unsanitary conditions, the lack of staff, the presence of a child apparently performing restaurant tasks, the complete absence of customer service, and the fact that we never even received the order we had already paid for, I can say with complete confidence: We will never return.

There was a very friendly young lady taking orders. This location is takeout only, so no ambiance to speak of. They run a very efficient operation, and I plan to return for sure.

My server was the sweetest and most polite person. She checked on me and my mom multiple times. She was friendly and helpful. So I must say my service was welcoming and AMAZING! I felt like part of the family! Now it's not a fancy place, but it was clean and cozy. Like a mom and pops place. Condiments are provided on the table. Even roses that were real are in a vase. You can dine in or they have a carry out side. Well I chose fish since that's what I wanted. The 2 piece filet meal comes with 2 sides. They will bring your food out in a plastic container. So if you have left overs it's already set to go. The food came out hot and fresh. The fish was fried nicely. I wish it was seasoned a bit more for my liking. It was pretty good though. It was a great size and again fried to perfection. The hush puppies were really tasty. The fried corn fritter was delicious. The pickled tartar sauce was unique and I loved it. OMG the cabbage was so DAMN GOOD! This stole the show. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned with love. It touched my soul and I wanted to lick my container. The Mac and Cheese was a NO for me. It was like black pepper and cheese sauce. It was just blah and II didn't even eat it. However, others may like it, but it wasn't that great. Sorry Nana! Overall I had a good visit! I will definitely come back and EAT when in the area. The cabbage won me over. I left feeling happy and full. The southern hospitality was FANTASTIC!

The sandwich was HUGE (as my husband likes to say "quantity is a quality all on its own"). I was very glad we spilt it.
