Rod's BBQ

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.
