Rodney's Ribs Food Truck — Restaurant in Pasadena

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE ATTRACTION? (I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of cole slaw)

Maybe it's the trailer in need of a fresh coat of paint? Maybe the beat up slab of wood that gets moved up and down between the Plexiglas windows to deliver the orders? Perhaps it's the overly sweet, too thick BBQ sauce. (hey if you can't make BBQ sauce better than KC Masterpiece from the store - don't bother)

Could it be the old and dried out brisket slices mixed in with the fresher ones - half of which were sliced with the grain?

Possibly the clever packing of the napkins and the cutlery inside the takeaway clam-shell so they get wet from the exposed sauce? Or - the way that the sauce is poured all over the meat - overflowing to the side of the container that it makes it impossible to pick up as a sandwich? (every hear of sauce containers?)

Tiniest portion of slaw I've seen - lacking flavor - but it was cold. ($3.25)

I arrived at 1 PM on Sunday, January 30th. 3 people were ahead of me - 2 ordered a brisket sandwich - 1 ordered a brisket plate. I got my order at 1:30.

And what's with your Rib prices?? $34 for 10-12 ribs - and $16 for...

My husband got the 3 rib dinner and baked beans today, and he absolutely LOVED it!! Nice and thick, fell of the bone, and the beans had great flavor to them!! Smells wonderful, and sometimes when food smells good, it’s not always good, but Rodney’s Ribs are awesome!! Would have loved more BBQ sauce, but that’s ok. We will DEFINITELY be back!! He is located in the parking lot of the CVS, In the corner spot, across the street from Popeye’s, on Lake and Villa. He is a little trailer hitch type of food truck, not the typical food truck type of vehicle you see at some festivals and on tv. Friendly people, a bit pricey for some, but I’d rather pay the price for the meal already cooked and sauced, and it coming out awesome, and for just the two of us, it works out. Plus no clean up!! Lol Eat....

A local fixture for Pasadena, Rodney's Ribs brings mobile smokey BBQ to a CVS parking lot.

When open, you can see his smoking setup working. A commercial smoker in a trailer.

The menu is simple and you'll find the usual fixings for Brisket, Spareribs, and Pulled Pork. Both Sandwiches and entree orders are available and everything is laden with sauce unless you ask otherwise.

All of the BBQ is well to heavily smoked. Depending on the time and day there are shortages and inconsistencies. I found the brisket to be sliced too thin but may work well in a sandwich. Ribs were not always consistent and certainly dry if not consumed right away and/or reheated.

Kudos and credit are given for the mobile setup. When it's...
