Figured it was a local dive bar but really didn't know what to expect. Everyone was really nice. The bartender was friendly and the local who came in around the same time as us was also very friendly. We also happened to come in during happy hour so our round of 4 beers was super cheap! We played some pool, hung out and made it back to the airport for the second pickup all very efficiently. Looking at the other reviews it looks like it can get really lively other parts of the day. If you are looking for a dive bar or roadhouse, this is a solid option.

Finally after days of emulating the illusion of an atmosphere for tourists, I had the opportunity to stop by. This place is an actual Texas Roadhouse with all the charming intellectuals and authentic environment you could hope for. I'd rather be here than anywhere in "modern" Austin. Do yourself a favor and tell them I sent you. It's a taste of the real Texas we all hope we can find on our journeys.

Both of us were going to be driving electric vehicles, so charging stations were a big part of our selection of Caldwell, as they had a bank of DC fast chargers open just 2 days before we started planning our trip. When we arrived in town, there was a fairly large police presence at the chargers, due to an anti-Elon Musk protest nearby. Everyone was friendly and well-behaved. After a quick charge, we drove a few blocks to The Rodney. Pahave rking was pretty limited, but a music studio next door was closed for the day, giving both of us a place to park. The Rodney has to be one of the friendliest restaurants I have ever visited! It is run by a couple. The husband is former military and after being stationed in Caldwell, they decided to put down roots there. The husband works multiple jobs, to allow them to follow their dream of restaurant ownership. The day we arrived for lunch, I ordered a pitcher of margaritas to go with our lunch. The owner/husband said the "margarita lady" wasn't at work yet but would be arriving shortly. It turned out his wife was "the margarita lady." The margarita mix is made on-site and was fabulous. I told them they should sell it in gallon jugs. I would certainly buy a gallon every time I visited! I ordered a small pizza, "The Jimmy Buffet" and my dad & wife ordered a burger, "The Stacked." My pizza was great and my wife, who normally eats 1/2 of a burger and takes the rest home for leftovers, ATE HER ENTIRE 1/2 POUND STACKED BURGER! That should give you an idea of how great the food is there. The "Margarita Lady," (unfortunately I didn't get the owners' names) talked with us at our table for a while and we heard that the kids chip in and work at the restaurant from time to time. She also mentioned that they have crawfish during the season. Bonnie, my wife, is a huge mud bug fan, so I can see another visit to The Rodney in our near future. They usually have live music or Karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights and families have a great time there. When I first found The Rodney online, one mention stated that it was the first "destination restaurant" in Caldwell and that's exactly what it is: a place you'd drive a few hours out of your way to visit. It's well worth the scenic, country drive.

Aside from having a healthy supply of ice cold Lone Star beer, they have some delicious food. I got their mushroom Swiss burger with seasoned fries. It was amazing! The owners, a husband and wife team, were super friendly and welcomed me right on in. This'll definitely be where I show up on my days off and where I bring my friends. This is a hidden gem in this area. So do yourself a favor and stop on by. You'll not be disappointed!

The owner is friendly and they serve bar kinds of food, hamburgers, french fries, and the like.

I ordered a margarita, I have never had a margarita made with OJ... so that was a little off putting, the others in my group just had beer and how can you screw that up, unless it's expired like another reviewer mentioned. Drinks were a little more expensive that another joint in town, and the experience was not as good here as it was there. My guess is, if your already hammered and looking to continue the party someplace else, this is your someplace else. I really wanted to rate this higher, because the name of the bar and it's atmosphere lends itself to so much fun.
