Nice restaurant with a good staff that gets you seated in a quick manner. Through it does seem to be kinda small and tight once you are in and seated. Endless yeast rolls and salad are what makes this place awesome. Food came out quick and correct with a lot of check backs to see if we needed anything. All and all a nice place to stop and grab a bite.

This place is filled with nice people and they have good food too. Greet deals at the bar too, like baby back ribs and good beer too. But the lines get quite long on the weekend.

Friday night dinner. Jacob was our waiter. Service and meal were both great. Wife had the 9 ounce filet I had the 23 oz porterhouse. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. Steaks were both perfectly cooked and oh so tender. This is why we keep coming back. Cody's is consistent and reasonably priced for what you get. We will both be having steak for breakfast in the morning.

Cody's is one of our favorite "chain" restaurants. The restaurant is laid back with old car bumpers, signs, beer cans, etc. The tables are lined with white paper and topped with crayons and buckets of peanuts (which they encourage you to munch on and throw on the floor). It is not the nicest or cleanest restaurant, but it is a lot of fun. The food is really good. They start you off with delicious yeast rolls served with a cinnamon butter. We sometimes get the french onion soup or potato skins for an appetizer. I alternate my entrees between Coconut Shrimp, Salmon and Fajitas with an occasional order of ribs or a special. My Husband ALWAYS gets the ribeye. We normally get potatoes (I get the sweet potato loaded) with our entrees. I honestly have never had a bad meal here. Service on the other hand is very up and down. I have had some AWFUL service to where we had to ask another waitress for drinks, bread, ketchup and eventually a check. I have also had great service were we left a huge tip. My service experience is about 50/50 at this point. Service is the reason why I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, Cody's is a fun place to have a meal with family or watch a game.

Do not miss 2 for 1 Margaritas night! I stopped in for dinner with some friends that I was visiting and they suggested the fajitas, so I trusted their judgement and was not disappointed. The portions were great and the chips and salsa were very fresh. They serve warm bread with the most amazing cinnamon butter. Our server was great-never had to ask for refills and he even offered to split the check for us. (After 2 margaritas, our math was off so he made it easy.) The place was pretty packed for a weeknight so get there early.

Service is always good and portions are generous. It's a fun high energy place for an easy night out. Good beer selection with long 2 for 1's. The onion rings are great. All in all a friendly inexpensive and very good family place.

First the waitress was very snooty and they had her training a new employee. Drinks were not filled in a timely manner and the food was not cooked to order. We sent it back and the next one was gross. The salad is DRENCHED in ranch and you don't get a choice in that. The burgers were good so two stars. Happy hour until 7.

Service is king. They aimed to please even though they fell short. Portions are big so bring your appetite. Also a nice craft beer selection which I'm keen on. A small snafu with our order which delayed my sons meal by 20minutes, but management was honest and apologetic which goes a long way. Will certainly visit again next time I'm in the area.

Great comfort food. Good place to take the family for burgers and you get free peanuts you can throw on the ground. Great atmosphere/old antiquity decor. It can get loud but the deals can be worth it. Wednesday BOGO fajitas, are where it's at. And the rolls and salad hit the spot!

Let me just start by saying I love codys food. Me and my boyfriend have been coming to this location for years. However our last experience was horrible. We were shocked and embarrassed by the attitude of our server,Steve. We ordered an entree with the appetizer. We know that entree comes with endless bottomless salad. When my boyfriend requested more salad our server Steve, said "YOU ARE OUT OF SALAD." My boyfriend then questioned him, then he walked away from our table.we ordered two more beverages. After he brought our appetizer, due to no fault on his own, he spilt one of the beer onto the table and into the appetizer. He did not attempt to clean our table. I questioned him again about the salad which he explained codys policy on bottomless salad. My boyfriend was still entitled to bottomless salad but our server Steve refused. Furthermore he charged extra for sweet potato which he did not mentioned . Then the manager, Anthony brought out our "new" appetizer which was steak quesadilla. When he was putting appetizer on the table, he accidentally banged the lamp above the table which caused all the dust and dirt to fall into the appetizer. At that point he just walked away from the table knowingly there was a chance that dust and dirt have fallen into our appetizer. Now we always have appreciated codys friendliness and cleanliness but he made no attempt to rectify the situation. So we asked our server Steve to notify the manager. Shockingly, manger Anthony came over to our table said the word "what up". I could not believe my ears. I've been in service industry my whole life and I have never witnessed such an unprofessionalism. He leaned into my boyfriends face approximately 6inches away. He was literally being confrontational. Let me say this is no reflection of codys. The appetizer that we had was steak quesadilla which was good our salsa and avocado dish was filled with water, it was soggy and mushy. loved codys until this day. I never met such a rude and unprofessional manager that has been supposedly with codys 20 years. Sincerely, loyal customer of codys.

Great experience. Our server, Lisa, was phenomenal, keeping our drinks filled, prompt with taking our order and bringing out our food, and making sure we had everything we needed. The rolls were so good and she was more than willing to bring us more when our first serving was done. My BBQ chicken could have used more sauce, the prime rib was a little overcooked, and the mashed potatoes are obviously instant (which is a change from previous visits), but everything still tasted good. We'll definitely return!

There are so many things to love about cody's! The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and efficient not to mention friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is fantastic! A huge part of the business at cody's comes from the bar. This is because they take impeccable care of their customers. Happy Hour specials are second to none and they give out free food at 5. On Wednesday's they have buy one get one free fajitas which is a heck of a deal and Sundays they have $8 plates that include desert. If you haven't tried this place yet you really should! Two thumbs up for Cody's!

Food was great. Server sucked. Wish I could remember her name. Two college classmates and I went to Cody's last Wed night for the 2-4-1 Fajitas. After being told it would be a 30-45 minute wait for a table for 3, we decided to dine outside in the heated patio. It was nice and toasty in there. So... on with it. Two of us ordered sweet teas, one of us ordered water with lemon. We all ordered fajita's: a chicken, and 3 combo's (one being to-go). We received 3 water with lemons, and after the server finally came back we told her that it was water instead of tea - she asked if we still wanted the tea but we said no. When our food came, they only brought out 2 platters. We were expecting the third to be following, but that wasn't the case. (& of course, it was MY platter that was missing) The server didn't come back for quite a while, when she finally did I was staring at her. She said "How is everything?" I said "Oh I'm sure it would be delicious... if you ever bring me my food." Please note: I'm not usually rude to servers, as I served tables myself for over 10 years. But, when as server is in the wrong, and acts as oblivious to her customers food orders & needs as this girl did - well, I'm sorry but I could have said something a lot worse. I've heard every excuse in the book for why something goes wrong in a restaurant. The servers will blame it on the cooks, the cooks will blame it on the servers and preps... I've used every excuse, and probably made some up of my own when I was serving... so I know when I'm being fed a line to satiate me until the "f-up" (whosever fault it may be - is fixed. Suffice to say, I received my food within minutes, and it was alright. Don't think I'll be returning, and if I do - it won't be on a Wed night TOOO busy.

Great food. Reasonable prices. I go there now regularly now and love the bar. Surge the bartender is awesome and just gives great service. Danielle is also great and very nice. Fun staff and great atmosphere. Happy hour after 9 at the bar is good and i can always get a late dinner and beer. Kids eat free some days and bogo fajitas on wedsesday.

Loved our server. Very laid back setting. I must say whoever has to clean thoose peanuts they allow you a to throw on the floor better get paid doubled definitely something fun they do for customers but what a mess!!!! Food is good. The loaded mashed potatoes are amazing definitely generous with the butter but whenever I come here I dont order very healthy. The steak is exactly what I expected when I ordered it juicy and delicious. I added on riblets to my meal for five dollars more and they were also great. I added a little extra bar b q sauce for extra flavor and devoured majority of my meal. I definitely recommend you sign up for there email club they are always having all kinds of specials and great deals and if you sign up they send coupons etc. I just got a 10off for my birthday from them. Also they have a kids eat free day. A bogo on fajitas once a week. There killer salad really is.. Country fried steak is good too. Give it a try you might be surprised. . ;)

I have been going to this restaurant with my friends and family for close to 20 years now. I have truly never had an actual bad experience here, there have been a few mishaps or miss-cooked items but it was always taken care of in a timely friendly, professional manner.. Cathy is by far one of the best Servers around and has made dining here a pleasure.. Try it, you will love it... The steaks are the best around, and the house Salad is exactly what a salad should be...

Our go to place when in Florida. Always a good meal. The southwest chicken is delicious. Rolls with cinnamon butter are great. Steaks are always good. Last time there we sat for a long time (not usual) before someone came over. I flagged down a hostess who promptly had a server come over. Later the manager apologized and gave us a free mushroom skillet that I had asked for after our dinner was served. The meal was still great!

This is a local hangout in St. Pete with a bar pub atmosphere but it is also family friendly. They offer two for one drinks during happy hour. The food was very good and there was a lot of it! The onion ring tower was awesome! They have peanuts and you can throw the shells on the floor. The service was excellent. My salmon had no taste but I enjoyed everything else.

Me and my family are from Orlando and we came out to Tampa for a small weekend getaway. I have a seven and a nine year old so we were looking for a cool place to take the kids to eat. This restaurant came up on a search engine we were using. I have to say the place has a cool concept and it seems very kid friendly upon arriving. Jacob, our sever, was very nice although forgetting the crayons my son asked for and the lemons my wife asked for. As for the food, not good. I had the "aged" 14oz ribeye which was completely tasteless. It was actually weird to me how much the steak lacked flavor. My wife had the 8oz top sirloin and it was very dried up and just bad looking. We had other options to go to for dinner and wished we would have chosen differently. Don't waste your time coming here, the service was ok and the food was bad.

YEAST ROLLS, HOW I LOVE THEE!!! Hot, fresh and delicious, they give me a joy greater than the sum of their soft, melting-in-your-mouth parts! Oh, right, it's a steakhouse. I had the prime rib end cut, and it was delicious, although not without fat. If you like a lean or well trimmed steak, make another choice. I didn't enjoy their garlic mashed potatoes, but the baked potato was great. The endless salad bowl that comes with the meal is totally tasty as well! The Cody's Chocolatehouse Slide (Jumbo fishbowl filled with chocolate fudge brownie, 2 scoops of vanilla and 2 scoops of chocolate fudge ice cream, loaded with hot fudge sauce and topped with whipped cream and chopped nuts.) was good, but beware: It's really more cake than brownie. This may not matter to some, but I like brownies better! Definitely an item to SHARE, as it's enormous!

Excellent. Right on. Requested 1 well done steak and 1 rare steak. Oh yeah, and we ordered 3 kids meals, Mac and Cheese, Cheeseburger, and Grilled Cheese. All perfect and from being seated at 5 Out the door at 615, excellent service and prompt attention. Get a booth for kids and you'll enjoy a good dinner. The bonus, before 6, 2 for 1 drinks. Can't beat it. Go...

For years I blew this place off as "just another bland chain eatery" from the looks of it...no more. They do it right here. Every single thing I have had over three visits has not only been "good", but top notch. Service included. *Free* Hot Yeast Rolls with Cinnamon Butter - BEST EVER Potato Skin appetizers - better than Friday's Burgers - delectable and massive. Perfectly cooked. One of the best burgers in the area. Drinks - excellent 2-4-1 happy hour daily with generous pours Cobbler Dessert - My Secret Sin - incredible All combined with an interesting wood-paneled, nic-nac covered interior complete with peanut shells all over the floor from the complimentary buckets. This has kinda become my "go to" joint when I am really starving and need a big feast. They never disappoint! So glad my friend insisted I finally try her favorite spot...SCORRRREEE!!!! P.S. There is pretty much no "slow" time here...I have always had to wait - even at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon - but it's worth it.

Vicki and her team are awesome!! They take care of their guests and support the community. The food is always spot on and the atmosphere is fun. There is a reason this place is always packed. They are always having specials on different features and they have kids eat free night too - call before you go to find out what "night" it is. Tonight they had an awesome Michael Jackson tribute and zombie's dancing Thriller. They also had a balloon man that was really good. Prices are right, I never feel like I've broken the bank. I love the salad and rolls - the cinnamon butter is addicting so beware.

We decided to celebrate Mothers Day on Saturday because it would be less crowded. We had seven people at our table. Three had prime rib, one had strip steak, one had chicken fried steak, and two had huge hamburgers. Not one complaint. Plenty of salad, plenty of bread, drinks always topped off. Great service, plenty of attention from our waitress. I highly recommend Cody's as a good place to eat, prices were reasonable, and they do take reservations.

Cody's is busy on a Thursday night ! The front door was packed with people. The peanuts are nice to snack on as you wait for your table. I ordered the bacon wrapped filet with sweet potato. It was perfect medium rare. The decor was trendy. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated because we called ahead. The service was good and would go there again.

We've lived around the bay area for almost 3 years now, so we've eaten at 4 different Cody's at least (maybe 5, they all look the same). We've been going to them several times a year for the Thursday night special. This Cody's is about 1/2 mile from the house, but always, always packed. I mean - PACKED! We went back in June, and maybe it was because I was starved, but I thought it was good. Usual. You know. Cody's usual Thursday night steak special. Then we went last Thursday. I was craving steak and we're out of gas here at the house. In addition, cows must be on strike because Publix hasn't had any good steak specials in weeks. So we go. Peanuts are stale. Seriously? You go through 2,000 lbs of them a week. How can they be stale? Strike one. I asked for double salad, no croutons. The waitress repeats what I said, and 2 minutes later she shows up with barely enough salad to fit on our 2 salad plates. I send her back for more. Strike two. We both order basically the same meal - sirloin special, rare, baked potato, butter for both, sour cream for me. What comes out - 2 sirloins - one more towards medium, the other one medium rare. Potatoes were right. But the steak doneness was strike three. You're outta here! The evening's entertainment, since it's geriatric central there and I say this flippantly, was this woman who was eating dinner with her husband. She was in a cadillac-sized luxury scooter with about the same amount of amenities. He just got up and walked out on her after dinner, and left her there to maneuver her way out of the packed restaurant on her own. I mean, he literally just got up from the table after paying the bill and walked out. So this woman, who had an atrophied right arm, is trying to maneuver this giant scooter one-handed out of the restaurant, running into tables and patrons, driving up and down tightly packed aisles, back and forth, back and forth, ramming into people eating. I felt bad for her, but honestly, she had everyone's attention and I'm surprised that everyone didn't stand and clap for her after she got herself free. I think she pissed off a lot of folks, though, so it seemed they were just glad to get her away from them. I will miss the yeast rolls, but if you're a steak place, and you can't cook my steak right, I won't be going back. Guess I'll have to switch steak night to Wednesday's and head over to the Outback across the street.

Good food, ate there today for dinner. Filet & Lobster, Filet, two kids meals. Service was good, with a few lapses. My meal was awesome (Filet & Lobster). Wife's Filet was terribly overcooked. Server immediately took it away without an apology and said a new one would be out quickly. It took way too long for them to cook another Filet to Medium Rare. I ended up dining with my kids and then we all got to sit around and watch mom eat hers. Not the ideal outcome as the kids were kids and tired of being there so long. I'd go back for more steak and lobster but my wife said, sadly, I'm not coming back. So... c'est la vie, Cody!

Eat peanuts and throw them on the floor. Get a giant beer or LIT. Steaks, chicken fajitas(2-4-1 on weds) all so delicious. The also have a bar menu with some cheap eats. A great value for eating and drinking. Ask for jackie, she is super hot...

Walter M.
Great food at a fair price. The food tastes fresh. Server quality varies. Some are fantastic and many are below average when it comes to speed and accuracy. They are all quite friendly. We love the family-style salad with the house garlic ranch dressing. Steaks are flavorful and the chefs are experts at cooking it correctly just as you request. The chicken fried steak has too much batter. Burgers are delicious. Drinks taste perfect. That's good because the complimentary roasted peanuts make you thirsty. We love Cody's but hate waiting to get a table. Get there early or late to avoid an hour+ wait. The food, though, is worth it.

Came here for our last dinner on our vacation, and based on a recommendation. I was pleasantly surprised, the service was spectacular, huge drinks, and kid friendly. the food was very good, but only gets 4 stars because my ribeye was a little over cooked and under seasoned, but I would definitely go back.

When you walk into the restaurant you already know you're in for some fun. Barrels of peanuts await you on the side of the doors, a few arcade games up front, a large bar, sheets of paper on the tables to doodle, and autographs and handwriting on some of the walls. A friendly atmosphere for families, or a couple just looking for a bar to hang out at for the night. The salads are excellent and I've always wondered what their secret salad dressing was. It's very creamy and sweet. The rolls that they serve with all meals are to die for as well. Almost like sweet Hawaiian rolls, that are warm and water away in your mouth. If you order something grilled you can see it prepared behind the glass windows in the kitchen over the grill. I always got the crispy chicken crispy salad. I liked it too much to switch up my choice every time I came. PARKING: I must say, that parking can fill up quick. There's a large grocery store next door and a few other shops that tend to nab all the spots. I've spent some time going round and round in circles or just parking a little farther down in the lot. Smokers or people that like the outdoors: If you do smoke, they added an outdoor patio area on the back, sometimes it's hidden from the front entrance, but it does exist. There are other Cody's locations, if you call ahead and this one seems to be busy. So be sure to check those out as well.

My boyfriend suggested Cody's to me about a week ago. We finally got the opportunity to go Sunday, then went back Monday too. It was amazing! Granted, a check for 3 dinners and 1 appetizer was $67. So expect to spend a little more but, what you get in return is so worth it. The service is out of this world. Your glass will never be empty for long. Both nights our waiters were simply amazing. Everything you would want, professional, friendly, courteous, & quick. Jon was our waiter Monday night, not once did anyone's glass go dry. I could go on and on about the staff. Just an amazing bunch of people. With them you get your cake and can eat it too! The food, just amazing. I asked for a beer and got asked regular or large. Just to test this out I asked for a large. It wasn't large it was gigantic. I wish I had taken a picture of it. I think it was like $6. It lasted all dinner long. My boyfriend ordered a Ribeye steak both nights always done perfectly. It covered half his plate! Also a loaded baked potatoe. Which took up the other half of the plate. My southwestern chicken was to die for. The same with it chicken on one half baked potatoe on the other side of the plate. My daughter got a hamburger that made the bun it sat on look tiny! And it came with all the trimmings. There was no skimping, when it came to their food they serve it up right the first time. Not show you a picture of mouth watering perfection then bring something you wouldn't give your dog to your table. The salad keeps coming and is sooo good. The biscuits and cinnamon butter...wow ok...just yummy! The atmosphere was just so calm. The second you walk in there are peanut shells all over the floor. Then this feeling of just walking into an old friends house washes over you. You can sit at the fully stocked bar too & eat if you wanted to. They have a seperate menu as well. Or they will seat you. This is definitely a place you will go off your diet for. They still have items on the menu to help you stay on it if you really want to though. I may not be able to go as often as I would like to. But I will go as often as I can. They are just that good.

Cody's is the best! We usually set in the bar area. It's kinda loud but we like it. There are buckets of peanuts for you to munch on until you make up your mind what ya want. There is so much to choose from. If you sit at the bar, you can order from the Bar Menu and it is cheap! The friend veggies are really yummy. It was the 1st time I had them and I will definately order them again. We also had the fried steak chunks in mushrooms & onions. I know, alot of fried stuff. We dont normally eat like this, we just wanted to try something different lol! Everything I have tried on their menu is good.

This is a "peanut shells on the floor" kind of casual steak house. The bar here is always packed and there's an insider secret as to why: they have a separate bar menu with great deals (you can also order off the regular menu)! At the bar you can order monstorous onion rings one at a time, great chicken wings sold individually, deep fried veggies, pork sliders, a bar burger, and a few other bar only treats for really great prices. Happy hour here is also a great deal. One word of warning: There must be an old folks home nearby because the average age at the bar is somewhere between 65 and dead. I really look like a spring chicken when I go up to the bar at this place, but the people are friendly and the food is great nonetheless. They have descent ribs, an excellent rib-eye, a really good all you can eat salad, and great rolls. Sides include loaded baked potatoes, sweet potatoes with cinammon butter and good french fries. I've never eaten dessert here but I've seen the cakes and they are absolutely huge! Two people could easily share one slice of cake. Only downside is that they only serve lunch on Sundays. The earliest you can go any other day is 3 or 4pm.

I guess everyone that worked here at lunch was hung over they all looked and acted grumpy and kept forgetting things. Only a few full tables which is not common so we were looking forward to a quick sit down lunch. We had to move seats twice because the hostess doesn't know you can put a high chair at a high top and the taller high chair they tried was caked with months of food on the straps and claps broken off. It was nice they tried to make a high top high chair (it has seen better days though) but it doesn't even let the kid sit less than 1 foot from the table. So at our new table where all of us could reach we order. We all love their salad and its supposed to be bottomless usually a big bowl left on the table with extra so you can have more. The waitress didn't leave the salad bowl on the table she emptied it and only put a pinch of salad on each plate. This happened the last two times we went to Cody's they don't send much salad out and leave none. Today for some reason this salad had no croutons and a total of 3 small tomato cubes out of 4 plates. Waitress disappeared for 10 minutes. We wanted more salad and eventually when the busboy came by to take salad plates we asked him but by the time he got back our food was delivered by another waiter. Salad cost must be high or something. Two things were wrong with the order once delivered and one item overlooked and had to be remade. We truly felt like we were being a pain but there was just too much wrong here. We've gone here since the grand opening of the first location across from the mall so maybe this was just a bad day. If you like the salad (like we do) make sure to ask them to hold your food order so you can get your fill before its too late. And yes, the yeast rolls with honey butter rock here as do the portions. It does get busy so plan on waiting during dinner or all ay Sunday.

I don't know how this place got such good ratings. The food was mediocre at best. The price of the food was high for the quality. My steak charred and had no flavor. I will not be returning.

Cody's has always been an expensive restaurant, so my family usually visits on special occasions such as birthdays and whenever my girlfriend flies down during vacation. Each time we went I rotated between steak, chicken and fish and all dishes were moist, tender, and full of flavor. Delicious! The restaurant is quite casual - just eat your peanuts and throw them on the floor, lol. Noise wise is usually very loud especially during holidays or games. Our last couple of trips we were served by Scotty. He's the best! Both times he was attentive to our table and made sure we were taken care of. A nice guy, amiable, and recommended as your waiter. We'll be back again. :)

Always been happy with the food, service and prices here. Very loud and gets busy very fast. I don't find it to be any more expensive than any other of the major chain restaurants nearby as some others have said. Especially considering the meals include "all the fixin's".

They get two stars bc the rolls were amazing. Bottomless salad? Nope. And sub par as well. Lemon for my water? When I asked a second time. My garlic mashed potatoes were overdone and starchy. My salmon? A thin and overlooked bunch of crap. Manager said he would comp it. Waitress brought bill w salmon still on it. Stopped the manager....he fixed it. The 2 year old loves to feed me. Her chicken strip tasted like fish. Which is fine bc we tell her fish is chicken so she has no idea there is a difference. Hubby's steak looked food, tho.

The atmosphere here is a very busy one. Every time we come here the place is always crowded. Warning to you if suffer from peanut allergy because the nuts are all over the place. The food is served right all the time and is filling most of the time. Perhaps other restaurants in the area should take their cue from this place and then maybe they wouldn't have to shudder their doors.

OMG this place is ridiculous. My friend took me here while I was visiting from NYC. I made her take me back a second time before I left town because it was so darn good! The service was fine, but the food is just plain fantastic. I'm not even sure how, but after stuffing myself full of steak, carbs, and beer, I managed to eat a slice of carrot cake as big as my face. Yum!

If you eat a steak well done this is not the place to go. I have never in my life said a steak was over cooked even though I eat them well done. Well I have now. It was the porterhouse. My wife's filet mingon (9oz cut) which was medium rare was cooked fine but I won't go back

I really love this kind of place. Peanuts shells on floor, great atmosphere, huge drinks and plenty of food. Hard to choose what to eat because I want it all.

As the stars show, this place has the right recipe. Great food, great servers, and great customer service. When a place that opens at 4pm has a group of 15-25 people waiting and drooling at the front door waiting to be let in, you know you're doing something right. I'm so glad this place continues to do well in its new location. Sometimes you lose alot if customers if you move stores. I doubt they were worried.....they all followed. My favorite - 2 for 1 fajitas on Wednesday nights....can't beat it - and those huge beers....I know Brett would like em'.

Every thing was good about this place EXCEPT the night I went it was to noisy and the seating was not very comfortable, the table we sat at was to close to the bar & very crammed. Trying to get to the bathroom good luck i thought a waitress or waiter was going to run me over coming out of the kitchen not a good set up either. BUT the house salad before my entree was very yummy & the prime rib was very delish.

Nice restaurant with a good staff that gets you seated in a quick manner. Through it does seem to be kinda small and tight once you are in and seated. Endless yeast rolls and salad are what makes this place awesome. Food came out quick and correct with a lot of check backs to see if we needed anything. All and all a nice place to stop and grab a bite.
(4)Jeff O.
This place is filled with nice people and they have good food too. Greet deals at the bar too, like baby back ribs and good beer too. But the lines get quite long on the weekend.
(5)Robin F.
My server was awesome. .very attentive and helpful! I love the salad and rolls with cinnamon butter. Jesus and his kitchen staff are great. My food always comes out well. They have NFL ticket on Sundays, which is fun!

Pros: Prompt service, friendly staff. Cons: bathrooms were dirty, food order was wrong

Friday night dinner. Jacob was our waiter. Service and meal were both great. Wife had the 9 ounce filet I had the 23 oz porterhouse. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. Steaks were both perfectly cooked and oh so tender. This is why we keep coming back. Cody's is consistent and reasonably priced for what you get. We will both be having steak for breakfast in the morning.

Cody's is one of our favorite "chain" restaurants. The restaurant is laid back with old car bumpers, signs, beer cans, etc. The tables are lined with white paper and topped with crayons and buckets of peanuts (which they encourage you to munch on and throw on the floor). It is not the nicest or cleanest restaurant, but it is a lot of fun. The food is really good. They start you off with delicious yeast rolls served with a cinnamon butter. We sometimes get the french onion soup or potato skins for an appetizer. I alternate my entrees between Coconut Shrimp, Salmon and Fajitas with an occasional order of ribs or a special. My Husband ALWAYS gets the ribeye. We normally get potatoes (I get the sweet potato loaded) with our entrees. I honestly have never had a bad meal here. Service on the other hand is very up and down. I have had some AWFUL service to where we had to ask another waitress for drinks, bread, ketchup and eventually a check. I have also had great service were we left a huge tip. My service experience is about 50/50 at this point. Service is the reason why I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, Cody's is a fun place to have a meal with family or watch a game.

Do not miss 2 for 1 Margaritas night! I stopped in for dinner with some friends that I was visiting and they suggested the fajitas, so I trusted their judgement and was not disappointed. The portions were great and the chips and salsa were very fresh. They serve warm bread with the most amazing cinnamon butter. Our server was great-never had to ask for refills and he even offered to split the check for us. (After 2 margaritas, our math was off so he made it easy.) The place was pretty packed for a weeknight so get there early.
(4)James K.
Service is always good and portions are generous. It's a fun high energy place for an easy night out. Good beer selection with long 2 for 1's. The onion rings are great. All in all a friendly inexpensive and very good family place.
(5)Tracey R.
First the waitress was very snooty and they had her training a new employee. Drinks were not filled in a timely manner and the food was not cooked to order. We sent it back and the next one was gross. The salad is DRENCHED in ranch and you don't get a choice in that. The burgers were good so two stars. Happy hour until 7.
(2)Carl Z.
Service is king. They aimed to please even though they fell short. Portions are big so bring your appetite. Also a nice craft beer selection which I'm keen on. A small snafu with our order which delayed my sons meal by 20minutes, but management was honest and apologetic which goes a long way. Will certainly visit again next time I'm in the area.
(4)Jon M.
Excellent Baby Back Ribs . Love the peanuts, Good service, not good on Friday or Saturday eve.
(5)Joy H.
Great comfort food. Good place to take the family for burgers and you get free peanuts you can throw on the ground. Great atmosphere/old antiquity decor. It can get loud but the deals can be worth it. Wednesday BOGO fajitas, are where it's at. And the rolls and salad hit the spot!
(4)Tina Y.
Let me just start by saying I love codys food. Me and my boyfriend have been coming to this location for years. However our last experience was horrible. We were shocked and embarrassed by the attitude of our server,Steve. We ordered an entree with the appetizer. We know that entree comes with endless bottomless salad. When my boyfriend requested more salad our server Steve, said "YOU ARE OUT OF SALAD." My boyfriend then questioned him, then he walked away from our table.we ordered two more beverages. After he brought our appetizer, due to no fault on his own, he spilt one of the beer onto the table and into the appetizer. He did not attempt to clean our table. I questioned him again about the salad which he explained codys policy on bottomless salad. My boyfriend was still entitled to bottomless salad but our server Steve refused. Furthermore he charged extra for sweet potato which he did not mentioned . Then the manager, Anthony brought out our "new" appetizer which was steak quesadilla. When he was putting appetizer on the table, he accidentally banged the lamp above the table which caused all the dust and dirt to fall into the appetizer. At that point he just walked away from the table knowingly there was a chance that dust and dirt have fallen into our appetizer. Now we always have appreciated codys friendliness and cleanliness but he made no attempt to rectify the situation. So we asked our server Steve to notify the manager. Shockingly, manger Anthony came over to our table said the word "what up". I could not believe my ears. I've been in service industry my whole life and I have never witnessed such an unprofessionalism. He leaned into my boyfriends face approximately 6inches away. He was literally being confrontational. Let me say this is no reflection of codys. The appetizer that we had was steak quesadilla which was good our salsa and avocado dish was filled with water, it was soggy and mushy. loved codys until this day. I never met such a rude and unprofessional manager that has been supposedly with codys 20 years. Sincerely, loyal customer of codys.
(1)J R.
Great experience. Our server, Lisa, was phenomenal, keeping our drinks filled, prompt with taking our order and bringing out our food, and making sure we had everything we needed. The rolls were so good and she was more than willing to bring us more when our first serving was done. My BBQ chicken could have used more sauce, the prime rib was a little overcooked, and the mashed potatoes are obviously instant (which is a change from previous visits), but everything still tasted good. We'll definitely return!
(4)Misty S.
Fun family environment. Food is really under seasoned. Staff are very friendly. Fast service, with hot food. Fajitas are the best!
(4)Shelley W.
There are so many things to love about cody's! The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and efficient not to mention friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is fantastic! A huge part of the business at cody's comes from the bar. This is because they take impeccable care of their customers. Happy Hour specials are second to none and they give out free food at 5. On Wednesday's they have buy one get one free fajitas which is a heck of a deal and Sundays they have $8 plates that include desert. If you haven't tried this place yet you really should! Two thumbs up for Cody's!
(4)Melissa H.
Food was great. Server sucked. Wish I could remember her name. Two college classmates and I went to Cody's last Wed night for the 2-4-1 Fajitas. After being told it would be a 30-45 minute wait for a table for 3, we decided to dine outside in the heated patio. It was nice and toasty in there. So... on with it. Two of us ordered sweet teas, one of us ordered water with lemon. We all ordered fajita's: a chicken, and 3 combo's (one being to-go). We received 3 water with lemons, and after the server finally came back we told her that it was water instead of tea - she asked if we still wanted the tea but we said no. When our food came, they only brought out 2 platters. We were expecting the third to be following, but that wasn't the case. (& of course, it was MY platter that was missing) The server didn't come back for quite a while, when she finally did I was staring at her. She said "How is everything?" I said "Oh I'm sure it would be delicious... if you ever bring me my food." Please note: I'm not usually rude to servers, as I served tables myself for over 10 years. But, when as server is in the wrong, and acts as oblivious to her customers food orders & needs as this girl did - well, I'm sorry but I could have said something a lot worse. I've heard every excuse in the book for why something goes wrong in a restaurant. The servers will blame it on the cooks, the cooks will blame it on the servers and preps... I've used every excuse, and probably made some up of my own when I was serving... so I know when I'm being fed a line to satiate me until the "f-up" (whosever fault it may be - is fixed. Suffice to say, I received my food within minutes, and it was alright. Don't think I'll be returning, and if I do - it won't be on a Wed night TOOO busy.
(2)Tyrone B.
Great food. Reasonable prices. I go there now regularly now and love the bar. Surge the bartender is awesome and just gives great service. Danielle is also great and very nice. Fun staff and great atmosphere. Happy hour after 9 at the bar is good and i can always get a late dinner and beer. Kids eat free some days and bogo fajitas on wedsesday.
(5)Brittni L.
Loved our server. Very laid back setting. I must say whoever has to clean thoose peanuts they allow you a to throw on the floor better get paid doubled definitely something fun they do for customers but what a mess!!!! Food is good. The loaded mashed potatoes are amazing definitely generous with the butter but whenever I come here I dont order very healthy. The steak is exactly what I expected when I ordered it juicy and delicious. I added on riblets to my meal for five dollars more and they were also great. I added a little extra bar b q sauce for extra flavor and devoured majority of my meal. I definitely recommend you sign up for there email club they are always having all kinds of specials and great deals and if you sign up they send coupons etc. I just got a 10off for my birthday from them. Also they have a kids eat free day. A bogo on fajitas once a week. There killer salad really is.. Country fried steak is good too. Give it a try you might be surprised. . ;)
(4)Jennifer W.
I have been going to this restaurant with my friends and family for close to 20 years now. I have truly never had an actual bad experience here, there have been a few mishaps or miss-cooked items but it was always taken care of in a timely friendly, professional manner.. Cathy is by far one of the best Servers around and has made dining here a pleasure.. Try it, you will love it... The steaks are the best around, and the house Salad is exactly what a salad should be...
(5)Ray J.
Our go to place when in Florida. Always a good meal. The southwest chicken is delicious. Rolls with cinnamon butter are great. Steaks are always good. Last time there we sat for a long time (not usual) before someone came over. I flagged down a hostess who promptly had a server come over. Later the manager apologized and gave us a free mushroom skillet that I had asked for after our dinner was served. The meal was still great!
(5)Unity T.
Buy one get one free Fajita's on Wednesday is a definite "GO TO". Frank the owner is a pleasure as well. Great food great people!
(5)Yahaira F.
I had a very nice time it being my first time there. The margarita I had was very tasty and the food was delicious. The server was very nice and on point with our service.
(5)Candice H.
This is a local hangout in St. Pete with a bar pub atmosphere but it is also family friendly. They offer two for one drinks during happy hour. The food was very good and there was a lot of it! The onion ring tower was awesome! They have peanuts and you can throw the shells on the floor. The service was excellent. My salmon had no taste but I enjoyed everything else.
(4)Francsico E.
Me and my family are from Orlando and we came out to Tampa for a small weekend getaway. I have a seven and a nine year old so we were looking for a cool place to take the kids to eat. This restaurant came up on a search engine we were using. I have to say the place has a cool concept and it seems very kid friendly upon arriving. Jacob, our sever, was very nice although forgetting the crayons my son asked for and the lemons my wife asked for. As for the food, not good. I had the "aged" 14oz ribeye which was completely tasteless. It was actually weird to me how much the steak lacked flavor. My wife had the 8oz top sirloin and it was very dried up and just bad looking. We had other options to go to for dinner and wished we would have chosen differently. Don't waste your time coming here, the service was ok and the food was bad.
(2)Laura H.
YEAST ROLLS, HOW I LOVE THEE!!! Hot, fresh and delicious, they give me a joy greater than the sum of their soft, melting-in-your-mouth parts! Oh, right, it's a steakhouse. I had the prime rib end cut, and it was delicious, although not without fat. If you like a lean or well trimmed steak, make another choice. I didn't enjoy their garlic mashed potatoes, but the baked potato was great. The endless salad bowl that comes with the meal is totally tasty as well! The Cody's Chocolatehouse Slide (Jumbo fishbowl filled with chocolate fudge brownie, 2 scoops of vanilla and 2 scoops of chocolate fudge ice cream, loaded with hot fudge sauce and topped with whipped cream and chopped nuts.) was good, but beware: It's really more cake than brownie. This may not matter to some, but I like brownies better! Definitely an item to SHARE, as it's enormous!
(5)Chris R.
Excellent. Right on. Requested 1 well done steak and 1 rare steak. Oh yeah, and we ordered 3 kids meals, Mac and Cheese, Cheeseburger, and Grilled Cheese. All perfect and from being seated at 5 Out the door at 615, excellent service and prompt attention. Get a booth for kids and you'll enjoy a good dinner. The bonus, before 6, 2 for 1 drinks. Can't beat it. Go...
(5)Sharyn J.
Great food! Pork chop is awesome and are the ribs. Also like the steak quesadilla and the ham and bean soup.
(5)Thomas A.
For years I blew this place off as "just another bland chain eatery" from the looks of it...no more. They do it right here. Every single thing I have had over three visits has not only been "good", but top notch. Service included. *Free* Hot Yeast Rolls with Cinnamon Butter - BEST EVER Potato Skin appetizers - better than Friday's Burgers - delectable and massive. Perfectly cooked. One of the best burgers in the area. Drinks - excellent 2-4-1 happy hour daily with generous pours Cobbler Dessert - My Secret Sin - incredible All combined with an interesting wood-paneled, nic-nac covered interior complete with peanut shells all over the floor from the complimentary buckets. This has kinda become my "go to" joint when I am really starving and need a big feast. They never disappoint! So glad my friend insisted I finally try her favorite spot...SCORRRREEE!!!! P.S. There is pretty much no "slow" time here...I have always had to wait - even at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon - but it's worth it.
(5)Kate T.
Great food, great prices, great service, and a fun/relaxed atmosphere. The homemade rolls and cinnamon butter are of course delicious, but so is the homemade ranch salad dressing. We love to go on different days to take advantage of the house specials.
(5)Hailey M.
My husband and I always enjoy ourselves at codys! The food is tasty and big portioned, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is laid back and loud! Its perfect for date nights!
(4)Ali C.
Vicki and her team are awesome!! They take care of their guests and support the community. The food is always spot on and the atmosphere is fun. There is a reason this place is always packed. They are always having specials on different features and they have kids eat free night too - call before you go to find out what "night" it is. Tonight they had an awesome Michael Jackson tribute and zombie's dancing Thriller. They also had a balloon man that was really good. Prices are right, I never feel like I've broken the bank. I love the salad and rolls - the cinnamon butter is addicting so beware.
(5)Zoe L.
One of my favorite restaurants in st pete , you can dress up and have a family get together or go casual . Its a fun place fantastic food and the best servers , great value for what u get.It can get very busy on the weekend so its best if u call ahead , but that's to be expected when its so good .The owner Rick is one of the nicest guys you can meet .
(5)Steve M.
A great value place to eat. Always know what to expect. A decent steak at a decent price. No frills.
(3)Sandi G.
We decided to celebrate Mothers Day on Saturday because it would be less crowded. We had seven people at our table. Three had prime rib, one had strip steak, one had chicken fried steak, and two had huge hamburgers. Not one complaint. Plenty of salad, plenty of bread, drinks always topped off. Great service, plenty of attention from our waitress. I highly recommend Cody's as a good place to eat, prices were reasonable, and they do take reservations.
(5)Quincy C.
Cody's is busy on a Thursday night ! The front door was packed with people. The peanuts are nice to snack on as you wait for your table. I ordered the bacon wrapped filet with sweet potato. It was perfect medium rare. The decor was trendy. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated because we called ahead. The service was good and would go there again.
(3)Rad B.
I'm not sure what I liked the best, the rolls, salad or baby back ribs. I have decided not to decide. This place is on the return list.
(4)Tammie E.
We've lived around the bay area for almost 3 years now, so we've eaten at 4 different Cody's at least (maybe 5, they all look the same). We've been going to them several times a year for the Thursday night special. This Cody's is about 1/2 mile from the house, but always, always packed. I mean - PACKED! We went back in June, and maybe it was because I was starved, but I thought it was good. Usual. You know. Cody's usual Thursday night steak special. Then we went last Thursday. I was craving steak and we're out of gas here at the house. In addition, cows must be on strike because Publix hasn't had any good steak specials in weeks. So we go. Peanuts are stale. Seriously? You go through 2,000 lbs of them a week. How can they be stale? Strike one. I asked for double salad, no croutons. The waitress repeats what I said, and 2 minutes later she shows up with barely enough salad to fit on our 2 salad plates. I send her back for more. Strike two. We both order basically the same meal - sirloin special, rare, baked potato, butter for both, sour cream for me. What comes out - 2 sirloins - one more towards medium, the other one medium rare. Potatoes were right. But the steak doneness was strike three. You're outta here! The evening's entertainment, since it's geriatric central there and I say this flippantly, was this woman who was eating dinner with her husband. She was in a cadillac-sized luxury scooter with about the same amount of amenities. He just got up and walked out on her after dinner, and left her there to maneuver her way out of the packed restaurant on her own. I mean, he literally just got up from the table after paying the bill and walked out. So this woman, who had an atrophied right arm, is trying to maneuver this giant scooter one-handed out of the restaurant, running into tables and patrons, driving up and down tightly packed aisles, back and forth, back and forth, ramming into people eating. I felt bad for her, but honestly, she had everyone's attention and I'm surprised that everyone didn't stand and clap for her after she got herself free. I think she pissed off a lot of folks, though, so it seemed they were just glad to get her away from them. I will miss the yeast rolls, but if you're a steak place, and you can't cook my steak right, I won't be going back. Guess I'll have to switch steak night to Wednesday's and head over to the Outback across the street.
(2)John H.
Good food, ate there today for dinner. Filet & Lobster, Filet, two kids meals. Service was good, with a few lapses. My meal was awesome (Filet & Lobster). Wife's Filet was terribly overcooked. Server immediately took it away without an apology and said a new one would be out quickly. It took way too long for them to cook another Filet to Medium Rare. I ended up dining with my kids and then we all got to sit around and watch mom eat hers. Not the ideal outcome as the kids were kids and tired of being there so long. I'd go back for more steak and lobster but my wife said, sadly, I'm not coming back. So... c'est la vie, Cody!
(3)Terry G.
Eat peanuts and throw them on the floor. Get a giant beer or LIT. Steaks, chicken fajitas(2-4-1 on weds) all so delicious. The also have a bar menu with some cheap eats. A great value for eating and drinking. Ask for jackie, she is super hot...
(4)Walter M.
Great food at a fair price. The food tastes fresh. Server quality varies. Some are fantastic and many are below average when it comes to speed and accuracy. They are all quite friendly. We love the family-style salad with the house garlic ranch dressing. Steaks are flavorful and the chefs are experts at cooking it correctly just as you request. The chicken fried steak has too much batter. Burgers are delicious. Drinks taste perfect. That's good because the complimentary roasted peanuts make you thirsty. We love Cody's but hate waiting to get a table. Get there early or late to avoid an hour+ wait. The food, though, is worth it.
(4)Brian G.
Came here for our last dinner on our vacation, and based on a recommendation. I was pleasantly surprised, the service was spectacular, huge drinks, and kid friendly. the food was very good, but only gets 4 stars because my ribeye was a little over cooked and under seasoned, but I would definitely go back.
(4)carl h.
always a wait, have a drink at the bar, usally 30 min. wait, place is always crowdy and loud, but still worthwhile. wednesdays 2 for 1 fajitas, good steaks , service good, great codys salad and rolls. will go back again.
(4)Lindsay H.
When you walk into the restaurant you already know you're in for some fun. Barrels of peanuts await you on the side of the doors, a few arcade games up front, a large bar, sheets of paper on the tables to doodle, and autographs and handwriting on some of the walls. A friendly atmosphere for families, or a couple just looking for a bar to hang out at for the night. The salads are excellent and I've always wondered what their secret salad dressing was. It's very creamy and sweet. The rolls that they serve with all meals are to die for as well. Almost like sweet Hawaiian rolls, that are warm and water away in your mouth. If you order something grilled you can see it prepared behind the glass windows in the kitchen over the grill. I always got the crispy chicken crispy salad. I liked it too much to switch up my choice every time I came. PARKING: I must say, that parking can fill up quick. There's a large grocery store next door and a few other shops that tend to nab all the spots. I've spent some time going round and round in circles or just parking a little farther down in the lot. Smokers or people that like the outdoors: If you do smoke, they added an outdoor patio area on the back, sometimes it's hidden from the front entrance, but it does exist. There are other Cody's locations, if you call ahead and this one seems to be busy. So be sure to check those out as well.
(4)Sho G.
This place has great food, strong drinks, and huge portions. Friendly wait staff and the great food make this a place you have to eat at if you are in the area and hungry. I ordered the ribs and they were fantastic.
(5)Kim S.
My boyfriend suggested Cody's to me about a week ago. We finally got the opportunity to go Sunday, then went back Monday too. It was amazing! Granted, a check for 3 dinners and 1 appetizer was $67. So expect to spend a little more but, what you get in return is so worth it. The service is out of this world. Your glass will never be empty for long. Both nights our waiters were simply amazing. Everything you would want, professional, friendly, courteous, & quick. Jon was our waiter Monday night, not once did anyone's glass go dry. I could go on and on about the staff. Just an amazing bunch of people. With them you get your cake and can eat it too! The food, just amazing. I asked for a beer and got asked regular or large. Just to test this out I asked for a large. It wasn't large it was gigantic. I wish I had taken a picture of it. I think it was like $6. It lasted all dinner long. My boyfriend ordered a Ribeye steak both nights always done perfectly. It covered half his plate! Also a loaded baked potatoe. Which took up the other half of the plate. My southwestern chicken was to die for. The same with it chicken on one half baked potatoe on the other side of the plate. My daughter got a hamburger that made the bun it sat on look tiny! And it came with all the trimmings. There was no skimping, when it came to their food they serve it up right the first time. Not show you a picture of mouth watering perfection then bring something you wouldn't give your dog to your table. The salad keeps coming and is sooo good. The biscuits and cinnamon butter...wow ok...just yummy! The atmosphere was just so calm. The second you walk in there are peanut shells all over the floor. Then this feeling of just walking into an old friends house washes over you. You can sit at the fully stocked bar too & eat if you wanted to. They have a seperate menu as well. Or they will seat you. This is definitely a place you will go off your diet for. They still have items on the menu to help you stay on it if you really want to though. I may not be able to go as often as I would like to. But I will go as often as I can. They are just that good.
(5)Shelly M.
Cody's is the best! We usually set in the bar area. It's kinda loud but we like it. There are buckets of peanuts for you to munch on until you make up your mind what ya want. There is so much to choose from. If you sit at the bar, you can order from the Bar Menu and it is cheap! The friend veggies are really yummy. It was the 1st time I had them and I will definately order them again. We also had the fried steak chunks in mushrooms & onions. I know, alot of fried stuff. We dont normally eat like this, we just wanted to try something different lol! Everything I have tried on their menu is good.
(5)Will Y.
Cody's truly is as good as it gets! The service is impeccable, the food is fresh, and a great value. Excellent staff, and a great location.
(5)Craig S.
Ate here this evening. Outstanding luv this place, had steak chunks and loaded potatoe. Salad awesome bread awesome. Wife got beer battered fish tasted it, it was great too. Price was very affordable, kids eat free not sure which nights but tues anyway. Highly reccomend.
(5)Shawn H.
This is a "peanut shells on the floor" kind of casual steak house. The bar here is always packed and there's an insider secret as to why: they have a separate bar menu with great deals (you can also order off the regular menu)! At the bar you can order monstorous onion rings one at a time, great chicken wings sold individually, deep fried veggies, pork sliders, a bar burger, and a few other bar only treats for really great prices. Happy hour here is also a great deal. One word of warning: There must be an old folks home nearby because the average age at the bar is somewhere between 65 and dead. I really look like a spring chicken when I go up to the bar at this place, but the people are friendly and the food is great nonetheless. They have descent ribs, an excellent rib-eye, a really good all you can eat salad, and great rolls. Sides include loaded baked potatoes, sweet potatoes with cinammon butter and good french fries. I've never eaten dessert here but I've seen the cakes and they are absolutely huge! Two people could easily share one slice of cake. Only downside is that they only serve lunch on Sundays. The earliest you can go any other day is 3 or 4pm.

A rare place that's a great bar to get together and watch a game and still a fun place to take the whole family. Friendly, attentive service. The steaks and chicken are great, but definitely don't skip the house salad.

I guess everyone that worked here at lunch was hung over they all looked and acted grumpy and kept forgetting things. Only a few full tables which is not common so we were looking forward to a quick sit down lunch. We had to move seats twice because the hostess doesn't know you can put a high chair at a high top and the taller high chair they tried was caked with months of food on the straps and claps broken off. It was nice they tried to make a high top high chair (it has seen better days though) but it doesn't even let the kid sit less than 1 foot from the table. So at our new table where all of us could reach we order. We all love their salad and its supposed to be bottomless usually a big bowl left on the table with extra so you can have more. The waitress didn't leave the salad bowl on the table she emptied it and only put a pinch of salad on each plate. This happened the last two times we went to Cody's they don't send much salad out and leave none. Today for some reason this salad had no croutons and a total of 3 small tomato cubes out of 4 plates. Waitress disappeared for 10 minutes. We wanted more salad and eventually when the busboy came by to take salad plates we asked him but by the time he got back our food was delivered by another waiter. Salad cost must be high or something. Two things were wrong with the order once delivered and one item overlooked and had to be remade. We truly felt like we were being a pain but there was just too much wrong here. We've gone here since the grand opening of the first location across from the mall so maybe this was just a bad day. If you like the salad (like we do) make sure to ask them to hold your food order so you can get your fill before its too late. And yes, the yeast rolls with honey butter rock here as do the portions. It does get busy so plan on waiting during dinner or all ay Sunday.

I don't know how this place got such good ratings. The food was mediocre at best. The price of the food was high for the quality. My steak charred and had no flavor. I will not be returning.

Cody's has always been an expensive restaurant, so my family usually visits on special occasions such as birthdays and whenever my girlfriend flies down during vacation. Each time we went I rotated between steak, chicken and fish and all dishes were moist, tender, and full of flavor. Delicious! The restaurant is quite casual - just eat your peanuts and throw them on the floor, lol. Noise wise is usually very loud especially during holidays or games. Our last couple of trips we were served by Scotty. He's the best! Both times he was attentive to our table and made sure we were taken care of. A nice guy, amiable, and recommended as your waiter. We'll be back again. :)

Always been happy with the food, service and prices here. Very loud and gets busy very fast. I don't find it to be any more expensive than any other of the major chain restaurants nearby as some others have said. Especially considering the meals include "all the fixin's".

They get two stars bc the rolls were amazing. Bottomless salad? Nope. And sub par as well. Lemon for my water? When I asked a second time. My garlic mashed potatoes were overdone and starchy. My salmon? A thin and overlooked bunch of crap. Manager said he would comp it. Waitress brought bill w salmon still on it. Stopped the manager....he fixed it. The 2 year old loves to feed me. Her chicken strip tasted like fish. Which is fine bc we tell her fish is chicken so she has no idea there is a difference. Hubby's steak looked food, tho.

The atmosphere here is a very busy one. Every time we come here the place is always crowded. Warning to you if suffer from peanut allergy because the nuts are all over the place. The food is served right all the time and is filling most of the time. Perhaps other restaurants in the area should take their cue from this place and then maybe they wouldn't have to shudder their doors.

OMG this place is ridiculous. My friend took me here while I was visiting from NYC. I made her take me back a second time before I left town because it was so darn good! The service was fine, but the food is just plain fantastic. I'm not even sure how, but after stuffing myself full of steak, carbs, and beer, I managed to eat a slice of carrot cake as big as my face. Yum!

If you eat a steak well done this is not the place to go. I have never in my life said a steak was over cooked even though I eat them well done. Well I have now. It was the porterhouse. My wife's filet mingon (9oz cut) which was medium rare was cooked fine but I won't go back

I really love this kind of place. Peanuts shells on floor, great atmosphere, huge drinks and plenty of food. Hard to choose what to eat because I want it all.

As the stars show, this place has the right recipe. Great food, great servers, and great customer service. When a place that opens at 4pm has a group of 15-25 people waiting and drooling at the front door waiting to be let in, you know you're doing something right. I'm so glad this place continues to do well in its new location. Sometimes you lose alot if customers if you move stores. I doubt they were worried.....they all followed. My favorite - 2 for 1 fajitas on Wednesday nights....can't beat it - and those huge beers....I know Brett would like em'.

Every thing was good about this place EXCEPT the night I went it was to noisy and the seating was not very comfortable, the table we sat at was to close to the bar & very crammed. Trying to get to the bathroom good luck i thought a waitress or waiter was going to run me over coming out of the kitchen not a good set up either. BUT the house salad before my entree was very yummy & the prime rib was very delish.
