Uncle Rod's Bbq Catering - Niles

The rib tips were very tough and almost tasted boiled. The sauce is not bbq, it's like a tangy tomato paste.

I now know why this place is rated lower than pretty much every other restaurant in the area including fast food. It is absolutely terrible. I read the other reviews, but still decided to give it a try. I thought to myself that it could not be that bad, but I was wrong and it is that bad.I got the rib tips (comes with roasted potatoes) and a small order of the mac and cheese. The rib tips had similar texture and toughness to that of a gas station bag of beef jerky, but none of the flavor. They came drenched in what they are trying to pass as BBQ, but tastes only of city water. In addition, the roasted potatoes did not appear to be roasted at all, but rather boiled and you guessed it, taste only of city water. The mac and cheese was not bad. I ordered it with extra cheese and it is probably a good thing that I did because they probably would have tasted like the water it was boiled in as well.The few positive reviews I seen (probably from friends/family) talk about how great these people are and how great their customer service is. I can not speak on the matter as I had the food Door Dashed to me. So maybe that is their one redeeming quality, but I can not say. If that is the case, maybe they should open a bar instead as they lack any ability to cook or BBQ.If you do want some great BBQ in the area as well as great customer service I highly recommend Curley Q's. Everything on the menu is amazing and their main ingredient is not city water.

Genuine, locally owned business. Prices are very affordable and the smoker out front smells amazing every time we pass the business. The pork, chicken and sides are very good. The barbecue is different but delicious! It’s sweet and salty with a tomato bbq tange. Highly recommend to anyone in town!

I wish I went somewhere else! Cafeteria food is what I would call it. Why have smokers if you are not going to use them! I had no desire to eat what they served me due to the grease and the store bought sauce. Pathetic attempt at barbecue! So disappointed!

Amazing!best BBQ in town and really around I loved the food and the service was amazing the owner was turning ribs on a smoker as I walked up loved this place
