Small loaded Mac with Buffalo chicken
Sam A.

Located in a very unassuming "plaza", I was pleased to find them, as we we happen to be looking at a storage unit in the same plaza. I caught the sign quickly as we were driving by and turning it. It was dinner time, so I went on Google maps, curious to what resto it was. To my surprise it was RD's! Of course I knew what RD's was but had never been. Perfect opportunity! I ordered a small loaded Mac and cheese with Buffalo chicken. At first bite, I was like yup. Yup, that's the one. My tastebuds were happy. The noodles I think were just a taaaad undercooked for me. Perhaps this is done to hold its structure against all the creamy cheesiness. But ya, that is pretty much the only critique from me. I loved how cheesy it was and all the cheese pulls in between the noodles. The Buffalo chicken flavour paired so well with the Mac and cheese. I'm glad I got this because you really need a change in texture and a flavour that compliments the continuous cheese. The heat from the Buffalo was also perfect with the creaminess. I would defs order this again and I'm interested in trying other items on the menu. The prices are a bit steep, I'm not going to lie. However, I get it, we're living in 2022. Crazy times.

RD Special sandwich with a side of mac and cheese - absolutely delicious!
Lisa B.

I had to be in an out in less than an hour at dinner time. They had quick, and very friendly service. (Also a take out counter for future reference). I can see this being a fun place to watch the game and have some food/drinks with friends as it's big and has a lot of room for groups. It's very bright in there though. lol The food was really delicious. I was surprised at the wide variety of unique options they had. It wasn't your typical BBQ joint with just ribs, brisket, chicken. I ended up getting their house special sandwich. It was HUGE. I got a side of mac and cheese too. Needless to say, I had leftovers. I loved the coleslaw as well. Tasted homemade. I'd come back for sure.

ribs and macaroni and cheese

Family owned operation, very friendly staff, reasonable prices. Food was delicious, we especially enjoyed the ribs which can only be described as "smoked to perfection". The gravy in the poutine was packed with flavour without being overly savoury. Mac n cheese was so very cheesy though I found it a bit bland, but perhaps that's because I had the ribs and poutine first. Worth the 40 minute drive!

Catfish Po'boy
Gigi A.

Ordered lunch from here through UberEats. Catfish Po Boy: tasty, the fish was cooked well and the sauce was delicious. It came with fries (not pictured) which were thick and perfectly salted. Cornbread: soft, sweet and smelled amazing. Not the best cornbread I've ever had because it had a weird after taste. Mac and Cheese: I wasn't a fan of this. The sauce tasted like Alfredo to me and not a Mac and cheese sauce. Overall, the food wasn't bad. I enjoyed the fish sandwich and the fries but the cornbread and Mac and cheese had some unexpected flavours and I wasn't a huge fan.

We were around the area and finally got to try this place. Initially when you go in, first impression was to go out and find another place to eat. It looks old and need some renovations. However the food they serve will make up for that first impression. Service is really good. Server and staff are nice and attentive. We came in on a saturday late dinner time and the place is not busy. We were seated right away (group of 10). We had gumbo which is really delicious, kids love it. Deep fried perfectly and goes well with the sauce. Beef brisket were very good too. Very tender with the right amount of bbq sauce. Poutine with beef brisket is very good too. If only they have a closer branch where I live, I would visit often.

Had this booked mark for such a long time. Finally checked out but despite the raving reviews It was disappointing visit. We were about 15ish and all found the food to be mediocre. I ordered their Deluxe Po'Boy which is deep fried battered Cajun catfish & jumbo grilled tiger shrimp topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, bell pepper with RoRo dressing & zesty aioli as per their menu. I did not taste any Cajun spice on the catfish and it seemed to be just fried. As a side, I did change the fries to a poutine and that was quite good. For the price you pay one would expect a bit more on the taste side.

Chicken

My second time going there during a week day. Good thing there wasn't a long line up. 1 st time there was a long line up but fortunately we had called in to make a reservation already. 1 st time the same menu we took were veryyyy delicious. It was 1 month ago. The chicken bbq was tender super juicy and flavor full. Same thing with the beef ribs bbq. Very good smoky flavor. 2 nd time wasn't so great. The chicken bbq was very dry. No taste almost. Once you eat the upper part of the chicken the inside just tasted like boiled chicken with no taste. The bbq ribs were ok. Had a good smokey bbq flavor to it. But wasn't as intense as the 1 st time I went. It was as if not enough left to be marinated that the flavor didn't get inside the meat ribs. Only the top part was good to eat as the bbq sauce was on top. They leave u with a game on the table to play while waiting for your meal. Not all tables has it though. Overall I like it. The bbq flavor was great. I will try it again another time and see what happens. I like consistency.

Southern style mac & cheese and beef brisket sandwich
Johnny S.

Hello fellow foodies back again with another review. Was visiting a freind close to this restaurant and sounded like a great new place to try out for lunch. Looks fairly new good sized place free standing building with nice booths ,clean and I have to say we had a wonderfully nice waitress. She was really helpful with menu and helped us pick out our food . Now for the food I ordered the mac & cheese and brisket sandwich with also came with coleslaw. The mac & cheese was out of control oven baked goodness just amazing cheesey to the max a must have . The coleslaw was creamy with a hint of sweetness just one of the better ones i have ever had . The brisket sandwich was decent with tender meat with a sweat and peppery southern sauce defintaly very nice also no complaints . Overall great place for southern bbq at a reasonable price , will definatly be back . Really enjoyed my meal here.

Generosity of RD's Southern BBQ in Brampton - Thank you!

Delicious Beef Ribs and coleslaw! I wanted to try something different so I hopped on UberEats to look for some good quality barbeque food and came across RDs Southern BBQ in Brampton. I ordered one bone of beef ribs and received an extra bone which I very much appreciated! The beef ribs are cooked to perfection and literally falls off the bone, they remind me of ribfest! I just wish the sauce was a bit more tangy/barbeque and not as sweet. The coleslaw surprised me because it actually tastes like real food and is very moist and fresh! I Would love if they had sauce options to choose from.

The portions are generous. The accompanying sauces flavourful and I appreciate that the meats weren't overly salty and just perfectly seasoned. We ordered a platter for 4 to feed 3 adults and 2 hungry kids and we have plenty to spare for leftovers. Some of us also ordered the individual build your own, which is also quite affordable and reasonably priced. My fav has to be the ribs and brisket. The Mac and Cheese disappeared quickly. The staff was really friendly and helpful and there was plenty of seating on a Sunday evening when we dined as a group of 8. Asked everyone's rating at our table, they gave this experience a 4.5-5 stars all around. Definitely a spot we don't mind returning to!

The wings were slightly overcooked as were the pulled pork a little bit to the dryer side but good value none the less. $5 Hank lager pint. Looking forward to coming back.

I for one am real glad that they made it through and are now open once again for dine in Great rustic ambience and charm that truly complements the food and hospitality PS: I wish they decide to serve their corn bread in smaller portions

Not fall off the bone as they were the year before. Pulled pork - not good at all. Had a vinegar flavour and really disappointed. Brisket - incredible and to die for. Al least one dish was great. Fries and slaw were very good. Burnt ends - for $17 you got 5 pieces swimming in a sea of sauce. 1/2 were flavorful and 1/2 so rock hard and impossible to chew. Overall this is the worst experience we have had with this take out. We get takeout every year once or twice each time we are up in the blue mountain. May need to try a chain like Montana's next time as we were so disappointed this time.

Honestly, I gave this place a chance because of all the good reviews, I'm on a roadtrip from Miami…read moreto New York and made the BIG mistake while visiting Niagara Falls to pay my bill before getting my food as it's was to-go, the service was not only slow, but I never seen so many people that could help to make it a bit faster just waiting next to the pass window and not doing anything, I understand that probably they were tired but come on! If your place is this busy and you are not helping, maybe you should not be here.... I place my order couple of minutes before 7pm as of right now it's 9:11 I'm on the bar trying to pressure them so they hurry, but obviously is not working. Hope the food is worth it... I'll update when or if get my food.... Update 1 it's 10:26pm and still no food, they run out of half the stuff we ordered, by the time I time I posted the first part of this review we had so much time invested we have to see how far they could make us wait... Update 2. We finally got our food around 11, the reason it got so crazy was that the place was celebrating its 6 year anniversary and they offered everything half off, it makes sense. Even though they run out of almost half we order, they try to make it up to us by giving us almost everything that they got left, so we walk out with waaaaaay more that we originally intended. What we got was incredible, yes even do they rush everything it was still delicious. Would recommend only for the food, get in order to pick up and let them call u when it's ready, that actually the best way. Originally we gave it only 1 star, for the service but after we try the food, it came up to 5 but sadly the delay and the rest of the staff (not the owner she was super sweet) made it come down to 3

He checked on us regularly to ensure we were enjoying our dinner. There were three of us dining, and we shared a sampler platter for two along with two additional sides. The three of us agreed that the mac & cheese was one of the best we've ever had at a BBQ place. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente, and the cheese sauce was creamy and perfectly. The first one we tried was so good that we ended up ordering a second, the truffle mac & cheese. For our sampler, we chose the ribs that were literally falling off the bone, the brisket that was very flavorful, and the BBQ sausage that tasted wonderfully natural. Along with the mac & cheese, we also had the brussels sprouts, sweet potato waffle fries, and the potato salad. Everything was really good. The lower level seating area is all high tops. Upstairs has more tables and chairs, along with a bar stocked with various scotches and whiskeys. Thanks to Payas and the great food, we will definitely come back, even though we don't live close by.
