Amazing food. Super friendly staff. Huge servings. You can smell the place before you even get there. Icing on the cake as we were leaving we found puppy parking out front with a water dish it’s a nice little touch that you don’t see anywhere anymore. Well worth the hour and a half drive

We've been in Brisbane for a few months now, and Roddy's is the only place we've come back to repeatedly. The ribs are great value, the meat is delicious and falls off the bone (beef short rib- yum!) and the green beans are so tasty, and always comes out very fast. We like seeing Roddy behind the counter serving people and cleaning tables as it really makes it feel like he cares about his business and he is a very nice guy.

Had the half rack of ribs and the single rib all amazing, single rib lituarlally fell off the bone. Sauces were a great extra, try the blue cheese sauce with the buffalo wings. We are not spicy lovers so we did everything in the BBQ or sweet flavours on the ribs. Corn with garlic butter oh my god. Must try if in Brisbane. Thanks to scoupon we found out about this place!

Ribs, I had the beef with sweet bbq, falling off the bone with delicious flavours. Buffalo wings were perfect, jalapeño poppers with Mac n cheese inside we’re amazing, pouting and all other side were just as flavourful. Cannot wait to come back, highly recommend.

Great place and always busy. Love the food, good service and staff. Limited seating but you can always have a drink while you wait for the best ribs in town. Long may it continue.

As a Montrealer, I've got to say that Big Roddy's poutine is the real deal. Rich, flavorful gravy that saturated the fries just enough to soak them in, topped with none other than gooey, authentic melted cheese curds: a little taste of home in the land down under. My partner and I had the smokey barbecue beef ribwich to go along with it, which was equally as delicious. We'll definitely be back, but next time for some ribs, jala-mac-peño poppers and, of course, more poutine. 11/10, would highly recommend.

Amazing! We discovered this place purely by looking at google maps for somewhere new to go and what was around.. it was such a cool experience! Cutest little diner style, awesome bibs and epic food! We had the buffalo wings, beef ribs, chips and coleslaw and it was all amazing! Staff were super friendly.. we live close by.. what a find! We will be back.

Had a full rack of original pork ribs. 100% awesome. Tasty juicy and falling from the bone. Washed down with a tasty craft beer off the tap. All very reasonably priced. Was pretty much perfect actually. Looking around at other patrons burgers and chicken I need to go back for some more.

Big Roddy’s is absolutely legendary. Hosted a private event here and could not have chosen a more epic venue! From the immaculate food to the wonderful staff that really gives the place a family feel. I’m gonna miss Wing Wednesday, those damn chicken burgers (Big Roddy’s Style) & sweet potato fries (with Big Roddy’s seasoning!!!!) when I’m back in the US!! Will be sending every person I know in Brisbane your way!!!

Excellent scoopon deal. An amazing amount of food for 2 people. And the ribs were to die for, plus the poutine was not too bad considering we have to make do without real squeeky cheese in this country :) Going to go back and do it all again.

THE BEST RIBS i’ve ever had! 🤤 the green beans were sensational. Very friendly service with quick waiting time. The price matched up to the portion and quality of the food. Highly recommend the pork ribs! We also tried the cheeseburger and it was just so so. However, the whole dining experience was excellent!

OzBargain 13th birthday meetups - Brisbane edition. Found out about this last minute and I handed to be able to go, so why not? We feasted on the likes of:
* the royal sampler, $39 - pork button half rack & beef short rib single bone
* buffalo wings, $10 - 8 deep fried chicken wings smothered in buffalo sauce served with blue cheese dipping sauce
* chicken strips, $10 - strips of deep fried, buttermilk brined, seasoned chicken served with aioli dipping sauce
* poutine, $13 - Canadian style handcut fries topped with rich gravy and Australian cheese curd
* sweet potato fries, $7
* chilli fries, $13 - handout fried chips topped with Big Roddy’s chilli and homemade American cheddar cheese sauce

Awesome meal, really enjoyed the poutine and of course all of the meats, of which the ribs were the expected standouts. Nice to meet some other members of the OzBargain community too, and share in our love of bargains!

My partner and I are visiting Brisbane for the week from New Zealand and have been to Big Roddy’s twice! Not because we didn’t know where to eat but because it was absolutely amazing!! With fantastic service, delicious food and reasonable pricing why not? Before going to the shack I saw on their website a review stating Big Roddy’s was “Ground breaking. Incredible. Life changing.” I wholeheartedly agree. We will be craving it until we can come back to Brisbane and get some more.

If you're looking for a proper cheat meal then Roddy's won't let you down. I can't pretend to say you're going to lose weight here, but you're definitely going to gain an experience of brilliant food.

The service is excellent and always friendly with a healthy dose of cheekynish.

The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a "rippin rib shack".

Finally, the food. The ribs are truly melt in your mouth. The poutine is actually real and amazing. The loaded fries are just that, loaded. Thinking about it, pretty much everything is always good.

I'm not game enough to attempt the hungry horn challenge, but I imagine you'd be ruined for anything else for life after that much good food.

This place was great. I wanted something casual with excellent food: that’s exactly what I got!
The meat was falling off the bones. I only ordered half rack because that was already 450g and I ate it all because it was delicious! They had a sweet potato chips option which I appreciate, but there so many I didn’t finish them.

Just like Adam, Roddy gave us his rib & it was biblical. No-one has done more for ribs since the book of Genesis. Probably.

Like most shacks, Roddy’s is compact & totally casual - order at the counter, grab your cutlery & essential wet wipes & get a number, complete with lifesaving roll of paper towel attached. Use the ensuing brief interlude to decide if you’ll squander dignity for cleanliness by strapping on a bib (nope!); also expand your belt a few dozen notches.

Expect tender, succulent, juicy meat falling from bones in mass quantities. There’s a choice of 5 sauces which have descriptional clarity, taste real & coat ribs without drowning them. Unlike others, this smokey BBQ sauce is sweet without that icky sickly quality. How’s about the poutine? I mean it’s all streeetchy curds in steaming gravy on deliciously seasoned crispy fries. Sides are equally heroic key players. Green beans covered in butter & vampire-repellant-grade garlic are close to raw (*snap*) & beautifully charred; just how we like them. There’s even a pleasant piquant zest to the housemade coleslaw. Everything is generous & in well proportioned balance.

Service was outstanding. The lone staffer did a standup job during a busy lunch service. Kudos to her.

Best of all, there’s bargain opportunities on Scoupon, EatClub & the Entertainment Book plus deliveries with Deliveroo. Praise be.

Seriously our new benchmark for ribs going forward. What a ripper. A while after leaving I found a bonus beauty spot of BBQ sauce on my cheek. Zero shame. Amen & hallelujah.

Stepped in and saw a big group of people dining in. The only one girl at the counter was busy so we were just waiting to be served as we were not sure of the process. We didn’t get that girl any attention until another guy came out from the kitchen with food in his hands and told us to sit anywhere. After having decided with the menu, we were waiting to order. The girl kept doing what she needed to do and finally told us we needed to order at the counter. We was kind of frustrated of her ignorance but felt better after the drink and food were served and she started being helpful and friendlier-asked how everything was and offered to take us some photos.

Let’s talk about the food. Commenced with a housemade coleslaw that’s fresh and light (not drenched in mayonnaise like many places did), and sweet potato fries that’s so far that best we had ever had-chunky, crisp but moist inside. Though the fried chicken burger was average but still we were happy with its good size. The half rack of baby pork rib was delivered impressively tender and moist with charcoal smoky flavour. It would have been perfect if it was a little saucier not that dry. The chocolate ganache that offered both smooth mousse and crunchy topping ended our night beautifully. Overall we had a great night thanks to Big Roddy.

I’m American and love me some buffalo wings, juicy burgers and ribs. This is our monthly date night location. Burgers are to die for. Succulent and fresh flavor. The beef ribs are amazing and literally fall of the bone. So yummy. They offer a multitude of sauces be kind and ask for some trial sizes but please don’t waste them. Ambience is amazing. Feels like you’re in LA or New York. Great job

These guys are serious business and don’t fail even under pressure. A few weeks ago they were jam packed and my cousins and I showed up at 5:45 pm looking for a table of 6. The server really tried to seat us but they were booked. She suggested a table that had a booking for 6:30 pm. We got onto it as we were starving. Our food came out FRESH, JUICY in 10 minutes. We devoured everything and were ready to go by 6:28 pm. Great thank you to the staff at Roddys for feeding us lol

This place is the bomb. Delicious wings? Yes. Fall-of-the-bone ribs? Yes. Great burgers? Yes. Poutine to die for? Yes, yes, yes. The only problem with Big Roddy’s is that Deliveroo doesn’t deliver to us, something that I have addressed, but has only been resolved once. Then it went back to no delivery zone. We live in the city, next to the Story Bridge. I crave Big Roddy’s on a weekly basis. Go there, or get it delivered. The poutine rocks my socks.

The ribs @bigroddysribs were da 💣 Amazing value. Amazing taste. 👉FULL Baby back ribs $36 (Half for $22)
👉 Jala-Macca-Pènõ $12
👉 Garlic Butter Beans 🤤 (Free side) .
👉Coleslaw (free side) .
.
🗣 The Ribs were fall-off-bone soft and delicious. I ordered average spice but wasn’t hot enough though they have all the sauces available to you, so I grabbed one of their house made hot bbq sauce and slathered on some spice. (You can purchase their sauces for home) .
🗣 The garlic butter green beans were off the hook tasty. Can’t believe I enjoyed beans that much 🥴
. 🗣 The Jala-Macca-Pènõ were ok, but I wouldn’t order them again. They weren’t too flavourful but the dip they gave with it was 👌 ( I should’ve tried their fries) .
.
🗣 The ribs here weren’t only delicious. They were also HUGE, compared to many other places. Awesome value for $$$ .
.
I’ll definitely come back for more. 🤘

Remember it was mid June that we dined in this eatery for a Sunday lunch with a voucher. It was not that busy when we arrived around 12:15pm but the place was full house after 15 minutes. Service is very friendly and attentive. We followed the offer from the voucher to get the drinks and half rack of pork rib, beef short ribs, buffalo wings and side dish of corn on the cob to share between us. It did not take a long time to have everything on our table. Sauce of buffalo wings is spicy enough, pork ribs are tenderised and the beef short ribs are the hero of the day. They are so tenderised that melted in my mouth with the delicious sauce that deserve our thumb-up!

Big Roddy’s Rippin Rib Shack is definitely rippin!

Ordered a full rack of pork ribs with the sweet potato fries as the side.

The ribs were absolutely delicious, moist, falling off the bone with an addictive sauce basted over the top and perfect grill marks.

I enjoyed the sweet potato fries but they weren’t really to my sisters liking.

Would 100000% come back

We had a voucher given to us for my partners birthday, we had to wait around half an hour for seating but we got one in the end. The service was awesome, the waiter gave us recommendations and we ended up getting the loaded fries which were really really good. The corn on the cob and the chicken burger was great. It’s very filling and greasy though but a good rare treat to have.

Pros: Amazing food. Everything was delicious and wide range of sauces which were amazing.

Cons: More casual dining area. You might be stuck right next to other guests. They had run out of a few things on the menu though which was annoying, including the pork ribs which left only the beef, though they were delicious and made up for it.

The beef and brisket ribwich was damn tasty! And the poutine was super satisfying. Looking forward to trying the signature ribs next time. We visited on a Saturday evening so it was a little cramped, but we still received our food quickly and the staff were genuinely lovely. I especially liked how each table was given a roll of paper towel for realistic rib messiness! #keepingitreal

Came for dinner on Mothers Day. I must say the staff are super friendly and helpful. The food arrived amazingly fast after ordering. First tried the chicken strips with lime and pepper mayo to start which were amazingly juicy. The crumbing was super crunchy and not oily. The lime & pepper mayo had a zing and blew me away - 4.5/5. Sharing the pork and beef ribs and there was heaps of meat on the beef ribs. The pork ribs were ok but I felt I had better flavoured pork ribs at Ribs & Rumps and Smoke BBQ in New Farm. But the beef ribs were the best I've had so far. So full of flavour and fall off the bone! 4.5/5. I must also mention the coleslaw! It was so fresh and crunchy. I was expecting some pre-prepared soggy KFC style coleslaw, but no no no!! This was fresh and crunchy, a wonderful side to the ribs. The Sweet potato fries were soft in the centre and crispy on the outside, very nicely cooked and not oily.
I finally got here and wasn't disappointed. 4/5.

Best ribs I've had in Brisbane, and half the price of most places. The pork ribs are amazing. And though not normally a fan of beef ribs, I'd almost say they're better than the pork. Definitely a must try.

Great venue, great food and great service. Ordered the full rack baby back pork ribs and got a free side of sweet potato chips. Food was out within 10mins and was delicious! Forgot to ask for dipping sauces for our chips, then a man (who looked awfully like Roddy) came around to check if everything was alright and noticed we had no sauce. Straight onto it with the cheese burger sauce to enhance the experience that little more. Will be back

Yum! Great ribs, lots of sauce, good sides, good service and the prices are very reasonable. My one criticism is that the restaurant is cramped and warm. 6 of us were seated in the corner booth and it was so cramped we could barely move. Also their opening hours are annoying, twice now we have wanted to go for a late lunch around 1/1.30pm and realized that they close at 2pm so we wouldn't make it. But otherwise these are some of my fave ribs!

If you've decided calories are no issue, this is by far one of the best places to spend them! While the food is perfect every time, what strikes me most over many visits is the absolute amazing service. This is non-table service diner, but the staff are always happy, genuine and accommodating in a way that is so very rare these days. I rarely compliment restaurants on good service, but wow... you guys rock.  There's a real 'young/ fun' vibe to the small space that just puts you in a good mood - make sure to get a bib-selfie on your 1st visit. 

A real perk is that you can order as many free sauces as you want! The food is great as evidenced by it always being busy. We always order a rack of ribs (plus free side) and chilli fries topped with pulled beef (and variety of free sauces). When you compare prices (for ribs) elsewhere, I doubt you'll find better value for money anywhere... and then there's the weekday specials. We've even snagged a few group-ons. 

They also do craft beer. I generally avoid craft beer after having tasted many, many failures. The Champion Lager is fairly decent.

Tender fall off the bone melt in your mouth beef .

Had the pulled pork burger and my mate had the signature beef short ribs with the sweet potato and special seasoning to add that kick. The sauces they offer are also great !

Walking towards the joint you can clearly smell the aromas of the restaurant.

Would highly recommend if you love Smokey bbq meats . This place is on point .

Since visiting Texas earlier this year we've been looking for a killer feed of ribs that matches the glory we had over there. Found it at Roddy's! Best in Brisbane by a long shot (both the beef and pork ribs). Super tender and definitely a flavour party. The staff were really friendly and helpful so all around this place is 10 rads out of 10 and we are keen to come back pretty soon.

Roddy's has frighteningly good slaw. You know you’re doing well when you can make something better than I can... and that’s better slaw than I can make.

The thing that people crave when they're eating is that balance between acidic and savoury. And when you combine the slaw with the ribs, it’s beautiful.

The ribs are delectable. You know when it comes off the bone but still keeps its form? That's Roddy's ribs for you. Sure you'd choose to be vegetarian.

Easily in my top 5 meals of the year. I've said it before, I'll say it again: best damn coleslaw I’ve ever had.

We were served by Roddy himself, and as soon as he put the plates down and said “Welcome to flavour town” I knew I was in heaven.

I’ve never had slaw this good in my life. I could eat it every day for the rest of forever.

Highly recommend both the pork and beef ribs. 10/10 get chilli powder on your fries. If you're craving Montreal-level poutine, Roddy's real cheese curds are to die for.

The waitress who came to clear our empty plates said we did well. I think I have to roll home.

Who is Big Roddy????

My partner and I went here expecting American style ribs and that's exactly what we got! Fall of the bone, melt in your mouth meat with incredible seasoning and amazing sauce options. The sweet potato fries and garlic butter green beans were something special, not to mention the Big Roddy's Champions Lager on tap.

Meals were out so much faster than expected and wait staff were polite and helpful without being overbearing. All around a great dining experience

Like it! Had beef ribs with their original BBQ sauce and I was really happy with my food. Customer service was exceptional.

9-5 getting you down? Don't want to go home to a hellofresh meal? That's exactly how I felt until my mate called me up and said one word "ribs?"

Done! Such an easy sell. My rubber arm was twisted with about zero effort.

Huge stacks of ribs that fall off the bone. Poutine that even a Canadian would melt for. You eat soo much you feel pregnant... (even if you are already). Ohh glorious rib shack I thank you for supplying me with ribs, wet wipes and a bib. You truely know me.

Only great things to say about Big Roddys! 

My group came here and were eagerly anticipating it for quite some time, but the moons had aligned and the time had come! 

We enjoyed getting the bibs on and taking a few photos, all part of the experience. 

There is a decent selection of beers, but i had one of the IPA's which i never had before, and was if anything, a little too easy to drink! 

The main thing i ate was the Chicken Burger which was nice and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside! Then we preceded to share pretty much everything else! We had the pork ribs, the beef ribs, and some chilli cheese fries (spicy but gooooood)

I will recommend this place to anyone looking for an american style dining experience, and i can't wait to come back again.

This place is serving up some serious American eats. Love the plastic bibs on tables (it adds to the whole authentic American experience). Stand outs were the pork ribs, short ribs, chicken bites and chilli fries. The chicken bites were super juicy due to the buttermilk brine and had a crunchy golden crumb. The secret aioli was tangy and creamy. The short ribs had a beautiful smoky hint and the sauce was spot on. Everyone was happy with their meals and we all agreed we would return.

Been here for a few times. A great place to have an American-styled BBQ.
I have tried the beef short ribs and the St. Louis pork ribs. Both were tasty. You can alter the sauce, but I recommend the original sauce and the smokey bbq sauce. The portion was balanced; not too big or too small for the price. For the sides, corn on the cob gives a sweet taste that matches the food. For a more filling meal, get fries as the sides. 
I also tried the buffalo wings. The menu stated it as spicy, but it can be made into not spicy if you ask the staff to alter the sauce.

For me and my boyfriend, a single bone beef ribs and chicken wings was enough for a two person dinner.
The service was pretty quick. Order your food at the cashier and they will give you a table number. Then, the food will be served to your table in around 10-15 minutes.
The area of the restaurant itself is relatively small. If you are planning to bring lots of friends here, make sure you book the place beforehand.
Overall, was a very great experience. Will surely come back here again to enjoy the ribs :).

It's about time we had more American style cuisine on offer in Brisbane and Big Roddy has delivered the good and some. Draught beer, casual atmosphere, great ribs and a good selection of sides. We left wanting for nothing.

Walking in at 12.30pm we are welcomed by Big Roddy and taken to our table. Roddy has selected for us some dishes to sample and within minutes wait staff cover our entire table with their signature dishes.

The Poutine is hot chips were topped with bacon and pulled pork. I prefer my chips hot, crispy and fluffy inside. These chips are made soft by the gravy but they are delicious. Rating: 4.0/5.0

Big Roddy knows I enjoy chilli heat on my Buffalo (Chook) Wings and I make quick work of these juicy wings with medium heat. Rating: 4.0/5.0

The Beef Short Ribs look scrumptious and meaty. Yum, so tender and infused with the marinade and smokey flavour. Rating: 5.0/5.0

The Pork Ribs are less meaty and have a firmer texture than the beef short ribs and are delicious. Rating: 4.5/5.0

I look at the Jalapeno Poppers deep fried with Panko. I prefer them with less macaroni and cheese stuffing, eating more than half the serving. Rating: 4.0/5.0

The Coleslaw complements this meaty meal perfectly. It is freshly made and crunchy. Rating: 4.5/5.0

The chicken nuggets, grilled corn and sweet potato chips are nice but I found the other dishes more appealing. Rating: 3.5/5.0

Service at Big Roddy's is surprisingly fast and it is noticeable that the staff here work in a happy environment with the owners. Thank you Big Roddy and David for hosting this memorable lunch. I will return with my friends for another round of ribs!

TL;DR: Truly honest-to-goodness southern fare, that is focused a lot on the meats and having a good time. The craft here comes from so much practice, and travels around North America to truly know what makes this kind of fare tick when it is eaten. With a high level of friendly service, a relaxed and causal environment, and the ability to waltz on in, this is already a winner in my book.

After such a long and hectic renovation, one of the major lanes in Brisbane's inner area has been transformed very well. Fish Lane has stood there somewhat desolate all these years, and much in the vein of Melbourne's lane ways we now have a vibrant and relaxed little community just a bit outside West End that was asking for a revitalisation for so long. That means big apartments, and a number of new eateries that have popped up - one such example where we find ourselves tonight.

Big Roddy's Rippin' Rib Shack had been around a while, and has gotten its life in a permanent location right here. A favourite at the Brisbane Markets for a number of years, it was a long time planning for the brainchildren behind this place to secure a good spot, and keep on honing in on their craft. It might well be the perfect spot for them, central enough to get the needed crowd, but hooked around the corner so it is like a hidden gem.

It was only going to be a matter of time before I headed here somehow. When it comes to the American cuisine - just any kind - it is inevitable that it goes onto my to do list; that is doubly so when the offerings are either the southern delights and associated slowly cooked meats. So it is safe to say that this was right up my alley. So with Roddy's Ripping Ribs, There can never be too many of them in my mind, and each one will always pique my interest. The only question about that was how I was going to get there. Well, I had a bit of a meal ticket and decided upon using it when meeting up with a good friend for dinner. This was in the back of my head for quite some time, and all of it lined up well enough. So one night in the middle of the week, it was off to here to meet her and have some great grub.

Combining the vibe of the service and the decor, laid-back is the right word to use for it. The whole shop front is pretty tiny and cozy, managing to fit a good number of seats inside. It has a slightly rustic aesthetic to it, and remind some patrons slightly of diners from all around the United States. What really ties it together are all the little decorations around and on the walls, adding the charming character to the place.

Food comes out hard and fast, and the portion sizes were pretty generous. With such a small table, it was almost impossible to fit it all on without making a mess; though that was fixed by pulling two tables together. It is really relaxed here, and the staff are some of the friendliest that are around; the main owner - the titular Roddy - even came out, and he was a relaxed and chatty guy. With the lot that was ordered, he was even saying the best few were gotten. This not only shows that they make you feel welcome, but show dedication and passion for the fare that they offer.

Also with the service, the quick rate of the food coming out also goes the other way for when the tables are being cleared. It was not too busy at the time, so that could have been the case, but regardless the fact is still there that the waitresses were in constant motion and had a keen eye for attention to detail. As for how the service goes, this is counter service whereas you place your order, pay and take the number then wait. And this leads to one of the most distinctive and memorable aspects about the night; the food here is messy and ideal in using your fingers, therefore attached to each table number is a roll of paper towel to clean them off. If that does not tell you what you are in for, then I do not know what will.

And for one last aspect, since it does not come up too often for me. As much as they would like it, at the moment they do not offer sweets - I checked, and that would definitely have made for a meal near perfection - and when asked, they did suggest other places in a manner of recommendation. They have all their bases covered right here.

The menu is one that is kept pretty simplified and streamlined for the most part. They know what they want to offer and give it a good, deep focus. Meat is the king with it all, having a few different burgers and the star of the show being their ribs - both pork and beef being options. Various bar snacks that are in the same vein are on offer, along with a good range of sides and a diverse range of sauces for dipping. Bring along a big enough party and the whole menu could easily be sampled; as it will soon be seen two of us managed to get a good chunk of it under our collective belts.

When it comes to the beverages, their main offering is a range of beers. On tap, the range is one that changes and showcases a seasonal beer and the brewer of the month and the house specialty. With the bottled beers, they have gotten several varieties from around the country and the offer something from each kind that people would want - such as cider, mid-strength, wheat et al. That, and there are a couple of wines and big cocktail jugs plus sodas and juices for the kids and non-drinkers.

If there was one thing I was going to try and capture and try if I could, it was going to be their poutine. A few times this has been offered around town, but just how close it is to the whole recipe might have been dubious up until now. Essentially, the combination of fries, gravy and cheese curds is something which sounds just too good to resist. And as an extra, it can be gotten with bacon. It should be obvious with that detail whether it was ordered as such with it.

As well as that, everything else was more or less a given with being ordered. With it being a rib shack, an order more or less had to be done, I make it necessary to order the chicken wings when dining American, and jalapeno poppers are always a winner so on they went as well. For the dipping sauces, if the memory serves me correctly then there was the cheeseburger sauce and the chilli mayonnaise on the side. Nevertheless, even without the sauce on the side, every item here was just as good as the last. The portions might not have been the biggest in town, though combined it all satiated really effectively.  

So starting off with the poutine, this is absolutely worth getting. Many bars and pubs really ought to be considering offering this as a choice. They skimped on none of the ingredients, and it was satisfying and a solid snack. The fries that they used were well-cooked and seasoned slightly, with a thickness cut between shoestring and steak. The gravy was thick and rich, possibly owing to the juices gotten from all the meats being cooked out back, the bits of cheese were massive, chewy like marshmallows, and the extra bacon was essentially one layer of it over the top of the already substantial default serving. You will need to get some forks with this. It was tasty, it was super hot, and the flavour was very meaty, with the occasional crisp bit in the bacon. With all that being said, the only thing left for me to add on is "how can it go wrong"?

Getting onto the ribs, they were so soft and tender that when I tried to pull them apart with my fingers it simply just removed one of the bones from the meat. The meat that they used was incredibly tender, each bit being its own tender morsel so full of juice, and the thick, fruity sauce that they basted in made it even tastier. This was a solid, and good quality cut of meat that was chosen, which was cooked over a long period of time, and that made for a heap of difference. It was like butter going down your throat which is the best way for ribs to be.

The other two components were really good as well. This is where it starts to get a bit hot, with the chicken wings and the jalapeno poppers. Chicken wings have become somewhat of a benchmark that I now use with American places, so it well hinges on how good they are. The good news is, these are some good quality chicken wings.

What we have here are our usual buffalo wings: fried slightly, and basted in the distinctly-flavoured sauce. It is rich, slightly thick and has a tinge to it that lingers on your lips. The meat was tender, the skin was crispy, and they were simply really moreish plus you could not argue for a decent size either. I could have easily gone back for another order, they were that good. This is a weird case where the more that is done right with them, the less there is to say.

Finally there are the jalapeno poppers - or as they call them, Jala-Macca-Peno Poppers. These were big jalapeno chillies which were gutted and then stuffed with macaroni and cheese, plus a lot of mozzarella cheese. Without any doubt, make sure you get these - just saying that right off the bat. They were robust, with a good crumbly coating, the chilli part being sweated and having a slightly sweet flavour along with the distinct tang, and the filling was the best part - the cheese had melted well, and the pasta was a nice surprise. All this wrapped up nicely for an enjoyable evening.

From beginning to end, this was one of the more memorable eating experiences in which I have for quite a long time. Each piece of meat was cooked until succulent perfection, and this was made even better with the range of sauces that they had on the side for dipping. It is pretty simple and straightforward with that they offer, however what really matters in that regard is their attention to detail for not only the quality of the meal but how it can transform into a memorable meal experience for each client. That aspect has been gotten down-pat, thanks to the friendly demeanour of the waitstaff and the efficiency of the service within one of the most relaxed places that has opened up in months.

It does go without saying - but it is a good thing to emote regardless - I really wish these guys do well in this venture. They know their market, they have the dedication, and what might be their best trump card is the customer service where they make their clients feel like actual guests and want them to truly enjoy what is on offer.

Located near the end of Fish Lane, off Melbourne Street behind the Fish Lane Apartments, Big Roddy's Rippin' Rib Shack serves up the best Beef Short Ribs I've had in Australia and the best Poutine I've ever had outside of Canada!

Joe K, Espresso&Matcha and I had the pleasure of dining as the guests of co-owners Big Roddy and David, and boy did they put on a feast for us. Big Roddy served up Beef Short Ribs, St Louis Pork Ribs, Poutine, Chili Fries with Pulled Pork, Jala-Macca-Peno Poppers, Buffalo Wings, Chicken Bites, Coleslaw, Sweet Potato Fries, Corn on the Cob, six homemade dipping sauces and five homemade BBQ sauces.

The Beef Short Ribs were so tender that the meat quite literally fell off the bone. The taste and texture are exactly what I look for in a short rib - these rated 4.5-5.

The St Louis Pork Ribs were no less tender and were quite delicious. The pork ribs don't have a great deal of meat on them, but they were quite enjoyable. These rated a 4.

The Poutine was unexpectedly wonderful. I've enjoyed Poutine - or what passes as Poutine - all over the world, but this was without a doubt the best Poutine I've ever had outside of Canada. The chips, cheese curd, gravy and bacon came together to form a dish that was quite delicious. Had it been Montreal-styled Smoked Beef instead of bacon, this could have been the best Poutine I've ever tasted. As it was, this was still fantastic and rated 4.5. A note of caution - if you don't like your Poutine soggy, don't leave them to sit while you enjoy your other dishes - the copious gravy will soak into the chips if you aren't quick.

The Chili Fries were topped with Big Roddy's chili and homemade american cheddar cheese sauce. The addition of pulled pork was a great addition. The chili was a bit spicy for my taste, but I really enjoyed them nonetheless. The Chili Fries rated a 4.

The Jala-Macca-Peno Poppers are jalapenos stuffed with mac 'n' cheese and mozzarella coated with panko breadcrumbs and fried to a golden brown. I'm not a big fan of jalapenos, so I focused on the filling, but the mac 'n' cheese and mozzarella were not as good as I had hoped. This dish rated 3.5.

The Buffalo Wings were served to us with buffalo sauce and with Big Roddy's Original BBQ sauce. I wings were tender and well prepared. I enjoyed the BBQ sauce more than the buffalo sauce, but that is a personal preference. These were above average wings and rated 3.5-4.

The Chicken Bites were brined in buttermilk, mildly seasoned and deep fried. I loved the big juicy chunks of chicken breast, but the flavour was a little too subtle. Still, these rated 3.5.

The coleslaw was zesty, and the sweet potato fries and corn on the cob were both good.

I highly recommend you stop in and try the Beef Short Ribs and Poutine. I myself can't wait to return to try the burgers, especially the Big Roddy Chicken Burger - looks like it is just my size!

Big Roddy's has also just introduced The Ten Buck Burger, available Monday through Thursday from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm for takeaway or dine in.

Last week was a trying one to say the least, with my being otherwise occupied, it was a little difficult to focus on the tasks at hand. Of course the only cure that could be found would be a good meal with a couple of foodie friends. Which is why it was so pleasing to have a Thursday lunch scheduled with the delightful Meatballs And Beef Cheeks and the worldly and knowledgeable Joe K .

Authentic American food and amazing service!! Awesome vibe too and the people who work there look after you really well. Beef ribs were cooked to the perfection! The meat was so tender it literally fell off the bone as soon as we cut it! The pork ribs were equally as good just wish that we had ordered more. We ordered wings too and the sauce was so good - tasted like the authentic American wings! The sauces were free which made the whole experience even better! #reviewchallenge

Holy wow.
Originally came here after seeing they offer chilli cheese fries. I've been 3 times now and have still yet to have the chilli cheese fries. This is with good reason, however. They offer the holy grail of foods; POUTINE (with real cheese curd too!). After over-indulging myself on poutine while in Toronto I thought I'd never have true poutine again and would have to settle for chips, mozzarella, and gravy. Happy to be proven wrong.

The first time we visited Big Roddy's was during peak hours of Fish Lane festival. Though the shop was very crowded there was still space for two of us to squeeze in. Service and delivery were both exceptionally fast and friendly. All customers seemed to be enjoying themselves.
The second time we had to bring some friends with us to experience the true epicness of this food. Both of our friends were also extremely impressed with the food and portion size. Was nice to see the owner out and about checking on customers too.

Always telling friends about this place even recommended some our Canadian customers who are convinced it's as good as the real thing!

So..... not going to lie I took a photo of the sign before I walked in to Big Roddys 😂 obviously I was a tad excited 🙄😅

We were greeted by a lovely lady who offered to shift a few tables and was more than accommodating. Service here? 💯

Looking at the menu I was abit like 🤔 can I just order everything. In the end I ordered the cheeseburger and buffalo wings with original BBQ sauce and aioli dipping sauce (I'm a wuss I can't handle spicy 😬)

Sat down at our table and in the background "Mo Money Mo Problems" is playing and I'm like okay.... how often do I get to go to lunch and hear biggie playing in the background.... had to stop myself ordering one of those beers on tap cause i probably wouldn't have gone back to work 😏

Anyway! Back to the food.... My team mates ordered the sweet potato fries 😫 what did u put in them! I don't understand how you made them taste like that... they were disgusting.... #Sarcasm if "fried heaven in a bowl" was a thing, it would be them..

This is abit getting a bit long... so in a nutshell I wasn't even full but asked for a doggy bag so I could enjoy my leftover two wings and half a cheeseburger at 3pm....

Next thing to tackle is the Poutine and Ribs for sure. Only criticism I have is that I ordered 6 wings, got 7 but probably could have eaten a couple / ten more!

In conclusion this is now the new "go-to".... good vibes, great service and amazing food! If I wasn't trying to be skinny I would be there at 12pm for lunch all day errday!

Finally South Brisbane has a proper ribs joint. Not only does Roddy do some of the best, "meat falling off the bone" ribs around, everything on the menu is fantastic and the staff are so friendly and helpful. When I found out that Roddy's favorite menu item is the chicken burger i had to try it and It did not disappoint. Proper chicken, fresh salad, awesome sauce and he is happy for you to add extras. The cheeseburger is also one of the best offered anywhere. 

Then there's the sides! From chicken bites to macaroni and cheese filled jalapeño peppers (yes that's right!) and buffalo wings a to die for, he's got you covered.
If your a fan of chilli, go for the Max Power sauce or if you're really keen, grab the pure chilli :)

Different beers will appear on the taps each month which is also a nice thing, especially as he is supporting local Brewers.

I'm getting to the point where I need to invest in the place, I just can't stay away.

If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and get down to Roddys.

By far the best ribs in all of brisbane, with many American style restaurants popping up Big Roddy's reigns supreme. The wait on food is incredible short with ribs always cooked to perfection and the burgers are to die for.

Big Roddy's is definitely the best rib shack (and American-style dining) restaurant I've been to. I actually think about the 'Fried Chicken Burger' on an almost daily basis since I had it last week (it's probably a good thing I live so far from the restaurant, otherwise, I would be there all the time :D )The poutine and other burgers are all great as well, not dry, but not overloaded with sauce either, all perfectly balanced in their ratios.Staff are super friendly, even when busy their service is still fantastic! Have been recommending to others, and hope to go back soon :]

We Canadians just couldn't resist the call of poutine. Unfortunately, we picked the busiest night of the year during the Fish Lane Festival and the place was packed and very loud. So we ordered takeaway full rack pork ribs, green beans, and the obligatory poutine. The quality and quantity were worthy of the $42 we paid for everything. Everything was good but being the poutine snobs we are the chips were a bit soggy. But we'll be back when they are not so busy to resample.

Take two. May 22. Stopped for the pulled pork burger and garlic beans. Scrumptious and healthy size options. Great service!!! Bumped the rating up to 5.

We dined on delicious pork ribs with a smoky BBQ sauce - well cooked, succulent and flavourful meat.

Service was great - our drinks were topped up, we were offered more sauces and a friend received a free drink for her birthday. Meals are well priced and delicious.
