    I absolutely love giving five stars when they are deserved. And in case of RD's BBQ, they are totally deserved.

    John - owner (and also chef and waiter and a guy at the counter) of the place is literally giving his life to what he's doing. And results are shining.

    Talking about the food quality - it's delicious. And I am not throwing this sort of compliments easily. We tried different plates and all of them were leaving us with a happy smile. Portions are enormous for the price, and price is right!

    The place itself is tiny and almost lost between other small businesses in the block, but it is clean and cared about - again, you can tell the work of love.

    RD's Southern BBQ is not about money, it's about human heart. I am so glad to discover this little place, and would be happy to be back again and again.

    Recommended without any doubts.

    Always looking for a good BBQ joint. My friend and I stumbled upon RD's Southern BBQ in Brampton. This place is legit. Slow cooked pulled pork with a killer sauce. This place is BBQ done right.

    Friendly owner and staff and great lunch specials.

    I gave this place a place a try. Loved the Pulled Pork sandwich and Beef Brisket. People there are warm and friendly.

    No need to drive to Woodbridge or Mississauga anymore. Tell your friends.

    This place is the friggin bomb.  We are very, very lucky to have a southern BBQ place here in Brampton finally.  And even though it's just a tiny take-out storefront, they make some great food and it's quite affordable too for a sandwich and a side.  Inside of the restaurant is very plain, mostly a take-out counter but the walls are decorated with big black & white jazz musician posters.  Their laptop is always out which means they must have wifi here.

    It is traditional southern BBQ, which means one thing:  smoke!..  The baby back ribs, brisket, chicken (both BBQ and jerked), pulled pork, wings, are all smoked on-site before being finished with your choice of homemade BBQ or jerk sauce.  I have been here several times since they first opened just a few short weeks ago and everything has been great except for the french fries (which are frozen.)

    The pulled pork has delicious bark and dry rub mixed into it, the brisket is tender and thinly sliced without being too fatty, and the ribs were great the one time I tried them.  Pics of all the food has been uploaded by me here on Yelp.

    I just hope other people in the neighbourhood are going to support these guys, because everybody knows how hard it is for BBQ places to survive in the GTA.  So do yourself a favor if you like BBQ and check it out, you won't be disappointed.  The owners are super friendly and will remember their regulars.  Also if you're a fan of MMA or Boxing the guy will be more than happy to sit and chat with you for quite a while LOL

    Worthwhile sides are definitely the homemade cornbread and their molasses baked beans (which pack a punch, spicy).  Mac & Cheese is nice too!

    5/5, *especially* for Brampton standards.   And they even serve beer!

    The pulled pork was delicious (not lean) and tasty. The sauce was tasty (medium). The beans were spectacular, and I wish I would have received more with my sandwich.

    At $7.50, a good sized pulled pork sandwich and a small side dish of beans, is a good value. A side of coleslaw was unnecessary because the sandwich has cole slaw on it!

    I will be back, very soon, to try to brisket sandwich.

    The lady working there was very helpful and very hospitable.

    Found them on Yelp while stranded in town.  Great service, stayed to eat there to continue our visit.  Hubby had the beef brisket, while I normally dont love, but I will break with my traditional pulled pork favourite next time.  It was tender, smokey, and cooked to perfection.  My pulled pork was great as well.  Definately good value fast food.  Jean the owner told us that the beef was Canadian AAA.  Another plus.  We will be back.
