My teammates and I recently visited Cody's Original Roadhouse in Port Charlotte and had a great experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, fun, and perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Our server, Pulkit, was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His excellent service made our visit even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, and the portions were very large, offering great value for the price. The fresh salad served at the start of the meal was especially yummy, and the warm rolls with cinnamon butter were a perfect addition. Our entrees were cooked well and left everyone satisfied. If you're looking for great food, generous portions, and exceptional service, I highly recommend Cody's Original Roadhouse in Port Charlotte. Be sure to ask for Pulkit--he'll take great care of you! read more

They have the BEST amazing cheese sticks you've ever had in your life. You have to try them.!!!! And Pulkit was an absolute pleasure to have as a server! Thanks y'all read more

Ordered the T-bone tonight, and what came out was basically a New York strip with a bone attached. There was literally no meat on the filet/tenderloin side of the bone. I pointed it out to our waiter and was told that the T-bone doesn't come with a filet. The waiter did offer to bring me a different steak, but that doesn't change the fact that a T-bone is supposed to have strip steak on one side and a smaller portion of tenderloin on the other. The larger tenderloin portion is what distinguishes a porterhouse. I wasn't expecting a huge filet. I was expecting the cut of steak I ordered. The disappointing part wasn't just the steak. It was being told that a T-bone doesn't come with any filet instead of having the issue acknowledged. read more

Very dissatisfied. I ordered for the first time with Cody's. I ordered their Country Fired Steak. It came with no gravy. I called and the gentleman in the other end said it doesn't come with gravy. I explained that it's in the picture and all Country or Chicken fries steak comes with gravy. He told me the guy was new. I said ok how are we going to make it right. They asked if I could come pick it up. I can't that is why I ordered it. He went and talked to the owner. They offered to give m 20% off my next order. This order is not edible. I told them to keep their 20% and I will never darken their door again. Keep track you your new employees. Mistakes happen but being rude is. It needed. read more

G and the staff were fabulous. G was all about customer service, he was friendly, genuine, courteous, and had a great sense of humor. He really made sure our group of 30 of Red Hat ladies were happy and fed. And we were. I thought my chicken fajitas needed more seasoning. Although, the chicken was nice and tender. Maybe I just needed to ask for the Tabasco. I would still go back to Cody's especially because of G. We had a nice semi private room in the back of the restaurant, perfect for having large parties and events. read more

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!

the food was absolutely disgusting. steaks were 80% fat. The restaurant itself felt dirty. Salad was served at the table on a dirty plate. Service was good aside from the host that sat us at a booth after we told him we'd need a high chair and then was promptly approached by the manager and told if we needed a high chair we would have to switch tables because she was worried a drunk patron was going to run into the high chair. Will not go again. I ate approximately 1oz of my "14oz" steak. Which was trash I wouldn't feed to my dog. The porterhouse was slightly better but ruined more by oddly, tangy tasting onions and mushrooms. The dip platter was congealed, canned stock. We all felt the need to shower when we got home. read more

An Extraordinary Experience at Cody's Roadhouse in Port Charlotte Our family recently celebrated my grandpa's 98th birthday at Cody's Roadhouse in Port Charlotte, Florida, with a party of 35 people. What could have been an overwhelming evening for any restaurant became an unforgettable celebration because of the extraordinary service, hospitality, and care we received. One server--G--served all 35 members of our party from beginning to end. To say that G did an outstanding job would be an understatement. Every meal was correct, every ticket was accurate, and every plate arrived fresh, hot, and delicious. The food came out consistently, back-to-back, without anyone being left waiting for an unreasonable amount of time. Serving 35 people at once is an incredible accomplishment, and the kitchen staff deserves tremendous praise for preparing every meal with such quality and precision. Our drinks remained full throughout the celebration and were quickly refilled whenever needed. G was attentive without ever being intrusive. He checked on our table at exactly the right moments, patiently waiting until no one was eating or speaking before asking whether everything was satisfactory. He checked in again while clearing the plates, ensuring that every guest had been taken care of. There was not a single complaint from any of the 35 people in attendance. Every adult in our party was extremely impressed and deeply pleased with the genuine hospitality we received. Throughout the evening and afterward, our family continued discussing how remarkable it was that one person had served such a large group so professionally, efficiently, and graciously. One moment, in particular, will remain with our family forever. When it was mentioned that someone needed to cut my grandpa's steak, G immediately offered to do it so no one else would have to delay eating. He did not treat it as an inconvenience or simply another task. He carefully cut my grandpa's steak with the patience, kindness, and attention he might have shown to a member of his own family. That simple act of compassion spoke volumes about his character. G was genuine, thoughtful, attentive, patient, and remarkably skilled. Other servers could learn a great deal by shadowing him and observing how exceptional customer service should be delivered. A score of 100 does not feel high enough. Five out of five stars does not feel sufficient. No words, rating, or tip could ever fully express the gratitude we feel. Cody's Roadhouse proved that it is the restaurant you want to visit, regardless of whether your party consists of two people or 35. If the cooks can prepare 35 meals at the same time and ensure that every order is correct, hot, fresh, and delicious, one can only imagine the care and quality given to a smaller table. To G, the cooks, the management, and everyone at Cody's Roadhouse: thank you. Thank you for making my grandpa's 98th birthday so meaningful. Thank you for taking care of our family. Thank you for providing hospitality that went far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. You were all phenomenal, but G was truly exceptional. We were impressed then, we remain impressed now, and we will absolutely return to Cody's Roadhouse. This was not simply a great dining experience; it was a beautiful memory that our family will cherish forever. Thank you, Cody's Roadhouse!!! Sincerley, The Martin Family read more

I am speechless. It was so good. And I got a medium burger and French fries. The service was great. And the music was awesome!

The waiter was great "G" and food was as very highly recommend this place service and again the food was wonderful !!!

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

Do not eat here-something has changed. Salad straight from a bag, including the brown slimy pieces. Tomato so old it just mushed in your fingers. Pepperoncini looked like it came out of the trash can. Horrible, horrible service and absolutely no one-including manager, kitchen manager or corporate office cared. Empty restaurant - horrible food and service will do that when no one cares. 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

pelkit is the goat he gave me good food and helped me alot he also made me happier and full

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

Cody's Original Roadhouse - Fajitas - American Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

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

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

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

2for 1 drinks wend. 2for 1 fajitas steak is good, wings are good. Everything is great

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

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

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

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

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
