Cody's Original Roadhouse Port Charlotte This place is in Port Charlotte Town Center Mall. It looks cool from the outside and even cooler on the inside. We got there on a Thursday night about 5ish. This place was hopping with a lot of people. It was neat and clean, and I loved the interior decorations. Our waitress Brenda was on the ball with our drink, our food orders, and any questions we had because of our first time there. I got a beer, and my wife got a Pina Colada, both were cold and very good. I ordered the 1lb Prime Rib med well with a side of Mashed Potatoes. My wife ordered the Filet Mignon wrapped in Bacon with a side of Baked Sweet Potato in Cinnamon Butter. For an appetizer I ordered the half stick of Jumbo Onions on a stick. Brenda stated she would bring out warm Rolls with Cinnamon Butter and a bowl of Salad that she would mix for the both of us right at the table. Our Onion Rings were very good and very large. The Salad she mixed and served on cold plates it was so good. When our Steaks came out, they looked amazing. Both are steaks were done perfect and they were so good. We could practically cut them with a butter knife they were that tender. Our side of Mashed Potatoes and the Sweet Potato was also very good. All our food was hot and flavorful. Brenda kept checking on us to make sure everything was perfect even a manager stopped by and asked us how the food was. Our food was some of the best we had in this area in fact the entire experience was one of the best yet. Special thanks out to Brenda for such excellent service and the good vibe of this place. They do run Specials everyday on food and drinks you just have to check. I must give this place 5 out of 5 stars because of the great experience we had there. I for one can't wait to go back!

Not a lot to say about this restaurant that hasn't been said in many other reviews. Wife and I visited for Burgers and fries and they were very good. This place is spacious, standard booths and tables, staff members are pleasant and it has the potential of being a fine restaurant. I cannot recommend this spot and I don't understand why management doesn't police their reviews and make appropriate adjustments. read more

Cody's is a decent restaurant. Kacie our waitress was on top of it! She did a great job making sure we were taken care of. We enjoyed their French Onion soup, Cody's Roadhouse Salad with grilled chicken and the Prime Rib with baked potato meal. It was perfectly cooked, full of flavor and very tender. The restaurant was clean and had a really good vibe! read more

Party of 6. Baked potatoes not cooked all the way. Chicken breast very, very dry. Chopped steak was a pre-made dry, flavorless patty. Fish & shrimp just ok. Quesadilla was good. Won't be back. read more

The 1 pound burger was a pretty good value. I had read a lot of reviews online and the consensus seemed to be go for the burger. It was pretty tasty. It was cooked, medium rare exactly how I wanted it. The bun was good and so were the vegetables. According to their menu online, there was supposed to be a giant slice of fried onion ring with the burger, but it seems as though they forgot to add that. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they were out of stock on giant onion rings. The atmosphere looked pretty fun. I'll probably go back. read more

Why can I not give this place a zero? Two of the six steaks ordered at the table we ordered medium rare, but came out blue rare. One of the steaks was ordered, medium rare and came out like shoe, leather chewy and absolutely disgusting. Another one of the steaks came out tasting like seafood. No seasoning on any of the steaks. We ordered another steak that was cooked way beyond well done. Some of the chicken that we ordered was tough and dry. But at least the bread was good. The rest of the food is absolute trash, just like the restaurant. The restaurant itself was filthy and disgusting. The place smelt like cockroaches. We had to ask for the area around us to be swept. It was that dirty. The seats were sticky and nasty like one of them back room, film places that nobody talks about going to, but they do. I would never go to this place again. If I could give it a negative I would give it a -500 . read more

They have a huge place / sitting. Went there Friday afternoon and there was an outdoor live music. We were party of 13 and we got group sitting area. They have special bites menu before 6pm. Their refreshment is peanuts, and they serve bread with cinnamon butter (so good!!). I got salad and coleslaw as sides as well. The sirloin steak cooked well. I'd recommend this place. They have variety of food and friendly price. Service was great as well. When we finished, there were lot of people. So we arrived on time at 5pm. read more

I was with a Ladies Dinner and the waitress was amazing! I loved my blackened salmon and everyone enjoyed their food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

We had a great waitress. However the food was not good! We were a party of five, who all had a variety of things. My friend had a chicken breast that was so dry and tough that it was like leather. The bowl of salad was 95% iceberg lettuce. I would never return here!! read more

We were a party of 11, G was our server. Food was excellent and he handled the delivery great. It's always a pleasure having a wait person with such a great personality. Will definitely return soon. read more

Decent food at a decent price. I will say you get a lot of food but the quality is nothing outstanding. Service was really good and the inside feels very country honky tonkish. Worth going for happy hour specials but don't set your expectations too high read more

Service is absolutely poor, it's like they hire entitled teenagers as their servers, does the owner not do the interviews themselves? Food was warm, not hot, super dark place. Bartender was rude, our drinks had barely any alcohol in them, bathrooms were disgusting (well, the woman's restroom was.) just poor quality. This place is poor quality. Go to another Cody's. Also, stop hiring felon teenagers who beat up on your customers. read more

Ordered steak with onions the "steak" was like beef patty and it was disgusting. The waiter gave 1 piece of bread at one point. The wait was long. The service was okay. Never eating here again. read more

Judi was a great helpful server, she was tentatively and caring coming around frequently to serve our needs. Food was good and reasonably priced. The place was not crowded for a Saturday afternoon. read more

Food is average at best, seems the owners are no longer trying. Permanently out of specific dishes listed in the menu. Drinks are not very well made, specialty drinks listed as available but they also don't have the ingredients to make them. We no longer go because the last 3-4 times we were there, same items they are still out of, and the food and drinks are not worth the money. One of the times we were there there was a larger party celebrating a birthday, some children were with this party running all over, jumping on the boths. I asked our waitress about it, and to see if they could maybe not have the children screaming but evidently they were friends with the owner who didn't seem to care about tha ambiance or the remaining guests in the restaurant. Don't recomment, don't waist your time or money. read more

Service was EXCELLENT! We had G and Austen worked the bar. Both were great! Food was awesome- I had the garlic shrimp, others had a bacon cheeseburger, steak, and the flounder(catch of the day). Salad and hot rolls were amazing. I can't say enough about this place! read more

Food and atmosphere were great. Sunday football options, not too loud. Service could use a bit more attention. read more

Halee was a great server for our visit today. We like to get here before 6 o'clock to enjoy Cody's specials, which are of a particular value in this post-COVID era. BTW, the BOGO on beer is great as well! My wife and daughter had the sirloin. My wife's medium rare was over-cooked; my daughter's was accepted. Halee saw to it the my wife got her sirloin replaced to an appropriate medium rare. I had the barbecue chicken, which was especially tender and tasty. The salad and rolls set the table for a great experience. We enjoy visiting here and continue to do so. If there ever is a problem it is fixed promptly and politely. read more

The food was amazing. But the service was the best. McKayla was our server. She did a fabulous job of taking out orders and serving us. The whole restaurant works like a well oiled machine. The food is brought out by anyone available. I had the filet and steamed broccoli. Delish. The manager 'G' was very personable and also assisted in serving customers and checking in on the guests to see how their meals and service was. This was our first time there but not our last. The food was plentiful and the price was great. The rolls were AMAZING. Hot, soft and delicious. read more

My husband and I had dinner at Cody's tonight it was awesome as usual our server was Pulkit he went above and beyond to give us great service He was very attentive and friendly we will definitely be asking for him the next time we go there!! read more

I was given no marinara for my mozzarella sticks, no dressing for my salad, no fries in my tenders basket, and my buffalo shrimp had no sauce! My tenders were more like nuggets...not one was a strip. I had to call 8 times to get to someone to place my order. I can tell they are short staffed but damn. That's a lot of issues. There's no spot on the 'tell us what you think' part of the website to actually submit a complaint...it cuts off when it asks you to submit a phone number. It's like I threw $35 in the trash. read more

Very busy, we went on a Friday, but we were seated with in 15 minutes. The waitress was very busy and it took another 15 minutes to get our order. She could have been a little friendlier. After we ordered food came out quickly and it was delicious. I had the prime rib and it was cooked perfectly. Overall a nice place with good food, will definitely go back. read more

Amazing service from G at the bar on a busy Sunday! He served us fast and made great drinks! Fish and chips was wonderful and my husband said his wings were some of the best he's ever had. G made me a delicious Bloody Mary with his extra spin. We will be back read more

Use to be an okay place to grab an early dinner when shopping. I think today was our last visit sorry to say Ordered a frozen margarita with salt . It came in a water glass looking like a slushy. There was salt all right, on the rim ok , but the bottom of the so called margarita, tasted like a salt shaker spilled. The quesadilla was luke warm . Pico was to be added inside ..... that didn't happen. The bright spot was that the sirloin special and garlic mashed were done well , albiet , they should have been hot instead of warm. Don't know if it's because it was afternoon , new cook or don't care servers, but , I feel quality control was lacking this visit . read more

Great experience , inexpensive meal for the family . Fast , great service. Will be back soon!!

The server was a jerk with an attitude the entire time. They didn't have peanuts anymore. They moved potato skins to only being available in the bar. The rolls were dry and over cooked. Our blackened fish was covered in spice but not seared or blackened at all. The medium well steak was significantly undercooked. We had to ask for boxes, rolls, water, etc anytime we needed something 2-3 times before our waitress brought it out. This was a horrible experience and enough to make it my last trip to Cody's. Save your money and go anywhere else that has a steak or fajita and you will be a lot happier. read more

First time I went when they first opened Service was good just a little slow, food was mostly ok (they messed up and put sugar in the pork chop instead of salt wtf but what ever they just opened.) Food was kind of boring but not bad except for the sweet pork tenderloin sandwich. Second time service was slower they were out of some stuff and got my order wrong and my bill wrong food was cold Third time service was super slow got my order wrong food was cold place was empty at 4:30 on a Thursday It was dirty food didn't taste good servers were lazy and rude. Got there at 4:30 for dinner and was allmost late for my 6:40 movie. Seriously how could food take that long? It was litterly just 2 entrees and 2 cocktails. We never got refills on our waters for the whole 2 hours and over that time the server was only at our table 3 times He took our order He brought our waters He came and picked up the check (after I had to go to the bar and ask them to find this guy because he was gone for the last 30 mjn) (and it still took him another 15 min to come to the table after that wtf was this guy doing we were his only table) And he had a bad attitude the whole time not a single smile tried to get snippy with my girlfriend for asking questions Sighing rolling his eyes Seriously the whole place only had 10 people in it and 3 of them were not even eating just getting drinks at the bar. 7 people should not be that hard for 3 servers F this place cody's you suck! You're like the peanut shells on your floor, empty, stale and dirty. Pic semi related *a physical representation of what it's like to eat a fajita at Cody* read more

Victoria is awesome. She is the server with the mostest very fast very efficient..had a great experience..

Gave another try after 6-months, as are first visit was poor. Well, nothing has changed, service was VERY slow, waitress forgot half of order, burger was again under cooked. Will not give a third chance, recommend not go there as well. KB read more

I had the sirloin steak and my wife had the 1/2 chicken. We started with the awesome house salad. The chicken was a little dry but tasted great. My steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare. It was tender and juicy. As good as a fillet. The rolls were fresh cooked and hot. We always love Cody's and will be back soon. read more

Place is very dark and outdated patrons at the bar appeared to be zombies. We were seated AND NO ONE CAME TO TAKE OUR ORDER, so after 5 minutes we departed. Will not return read more

WTF!! Definitely a 180 turn from the 1 star reviews. The hell is up with the 2.5 stars I see. They served a sirloin 10oz steak felt more like a 12-16 oz steak they asked if i wanted an A1 sauce but I said sure, barley used it since i had mashed potatoes and gravy. Completely emptied the plate of steak and potatoes. Worth every penny. read more

This was our first and last time here. All I can say is thank goodness the tables are topped with disposable butchers paper. From the crumbs all over the seats, the gross sticky condiments on the table, to the gnats flying/landing around us, this just wasn't a good dining experience at all. As for the food... it was ok for the price (earlybird), nothing at all to write home about. Oh wait, yes there is... there are hard boiled eggs in the pale green iceberg lettuce salad. No warning, just there. WTF? Totally unexpected in a dinner salad and glad we aren't allergic. Sorry Cody, clean up your act. Literally. read more

I went this evening for dinner with family and friends. We ordered drinks which when the waitress delivered to our table, they were dumped over my shoulder and into my lap .I was completely soaked through- no apologies, ever were said to me a few towels were brought to me . I sat through my meal like this and when bill came they did not compt anything off it . I had to ask to speak with the manager who never made appearance and I had to ask for the appetizer at least to be compt which was done.But really I shouldn't have even had to ask and I definitely deserved an apology. I was in the restaurant field for 10 years as a bartender. I know what you do when an accident like this occurs. . read more

Took my mom there for something different. Food was okay, no complaints even though my T-Bone was over cooked. The waitress (Nicole) however was pretty bad. Constantly told us she would go get things (to go boxes, refills ect) then never brought them? We had to keep reminding her as she blew by. She did not have too much ground to cover, she just didn't follow through. I have great service almost everywhere in my area, but on this rare occasion it stunk. read more

As a lover of fine dining, I had the pleasure of visiting a steakhouse that left me with an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome from the staff, who made sure that I felt comfortable and taken care of. The menu was impressive, with a variety of steak cuts and sides to choose from. The waiter was knowledgeable about the different options and helped me make an informed decision on what to order. I ended up selecting the "Ribeye steak" cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and it was mouthwatering! The steak was juicy, tender, and seasoned to perfection. It was served with a side of garlic mashed potatoes that were creamy and had the perfect garlicky taste. The ambiance of the steakhouse was sophisticated and elegant, with soft lighting that added to the romantic atmosphere. The service was outstanding -- attentive, friendly, and professional. The waiter checked on me throughout the meal, making sure I had everything I needed. Overall, I would highly recommend this steakhouse to anyone looking for a memorable fine dining experience. The quality of the food, service, and ambiance was outstanding, and I cannot wait to go back and try more from their menu. If you're a steak lover, this is definitely the place to go! Hey there!
