  The food is pretty good here but the staff said that they might be closing soon.

  I've eaten at Rod's twice in the past 6 months as I've passed through Canton on business.  Very good BBQ and excellent sides.  The spicy beans are a must if you like spicy foods.  The last time I went I tried the pulled pork which was good but not overly flavorful.  Next time I'll stick with the brisket.

  I live in Canton, my family and I go there for one reason.  The ribs are awesome.  They fall off the bone, the seasoning is spot on and if you so chose, you can decide between a mild, spicy or extra spicy sauce.  However, it is our belief that if BBQ is cooked right there is no need for any sauce!  The sides leave a lot to be desired, though.  We always make our own when ordering BBQ from Rod's as it's so much better than what they serve.  It tastes canned with no love cooked into it.  There is barely any parking, so if you go during First Monday Weekend, plan to park many blocks away.   I happen to date a BBQ restaurant owner and fanatic.  He says he's eaten and cooked MUCH better.  But it IS the best in the area if you crave BBQ while in town.

  I grew up in this town and have eaten BBQ all over this nation. Hands down my fav shack to go if you need a new sauce stain on your shirt. Plus, the homemade pies are... Well they are homemade! Doesn't get better than that! Swing by and try it out for your own sake!

  Stopped here for lunch while in town on business.  The Q was very good.  Brisket was juicy and cut to order with or without a little fat.  Why would you eat brisket without a little fat??  The sausage was tasty, but the casing was cooked so it was a little tough.  The baked beans and coleslaw were very good.  
  Only down side was the dining room was pretty empty when I was there, about 2 PM.  The owner/manager and a group of friends were gathered at a table and were very noisey.  Lots of loud talking and laughing.  I guess it was their place, but it just seemed excessive when others were there to try to have a meal.  Just a point with me, but it made me decide on 3 stars, not 4.
  Will try again next time I am in town.

  Headed home to Dallas, saw the restaurant and took a chance.  Best chance I ever took.
  
  Positives
  - Sassy girl behind the counter
  - best chopped pork sandwich I ever had
  - sides were incredible
  - peach cobbler to die for
  - they gave us free rib sample - wow, smoking good!
  
  Negatives
  - not close to my house in Dallas
  
  This is a must visit - preferably NOT waiting until 1st Monday to avoid crowds

  Another wonderful joint to stop if you are craving for a juicy BBQ.  They offer mild, regular, and spicy BBQ sauce.  The chopped beef sandwich with regular sauce is a must to try!
