Old Jody's has been a staple in Temple since 1963. With a varied menu, friendly prompt service,…read moreand delicious food, it's a place I return to again and again. Whether I'm in the mood for a great burger, my favorite fries in town, chicken-fried steak, a club sandwich, or their homemade onion rings, they never disappoint. I appreciate the convenience of the to-go window. I can call in my order, and it's ready and waiting by the time I arrive. Highly recommended.

I have driven by many times in the last few months so e decide to try it for lunch prior going to…read moreSAM'S club. The lunch was okay nothing to jump up and own about. My wife had the Frito Pie, the chili was not spicy which was good but very dry so it was not very appetizing and almost tasted like eating paste. I had Mea Maw meatloaf and it had a heavy tomato base in it, no gravy came with it you would have too ask for it. The fries were warm thought asking for no salt I would get hot fries but found out when checking out they do not season their fries at all. Green beans were very good and served hot. They take cash or checks only, there is an ATM at the front door. They serve drinks in very large styrofoam cups have to be at least 32 OZ's as a minimum They were very busy that is for sure they have a very robust lunch crowd. Will have to think about stopping in again in the future. Many southern classics on the menu, gator, gizzard, chicken livers, fried chicken, fried fish, fried okra and many fried options.

The ladies are professional and on point with their job, they hustle and are aware. Also easy to talk to and keep a conversation which is a rarity sometimes. Enjoy this place , and a movie theater next door to catch a flick after a drink.

This is a hmm. Lot of creativity going on. Not the star of the trip for my tastes. Amber Dextrous-Amber Ale. WTH. Like a red with hints of molasses! Nice surprise of flavors. Interesting! Flat Penny Porter. Very good Porter. Could be a stout. More robust flavor and texture than the avg Porter. Solid brew. They can brew and a 4+ on beers.

So, I guess I have no other option than to publicly post my email message: "Hello Jacob, We are first time customers at this restaurant. Let me start on a positive note: - Shroom Burger and Garlic Fries were delicious! Now, for my disatisfactions: - We were at a 7PM graduation and needed a late dinner afterward. We chose your restaurant because you were open an hour later than others. No where on your website did I see any indication of kitchen closing a full hour before closing. Upon arrival we were told "kitchen closes in 10 minutes". - We quickly placed our orders and the marinara was the texture of water - INEDIBLE! I asked the server if they might have thicker sauce and her response was "probably not, kitchen's closed". An acceptable response would have been to double check and NOT serve substandard sauce to begin with! - I was drinking water. Forty minutes before closing the server took the three-quarter's full container and dumped it on the plants. I was planning to get more water! How about asking if anyone would like more before dumping. Basically we felt unimportant and not at all like valued customers. I am extremely unhappy with the service and plan never to return, despite the delicious food. Sincerely, DT

The margaritas (mine were on the rocks) made to perfection. Finally a place that has "Hot" salsa. Great taste, great amount of heat. Only miss with all of this are the chips. My personal preference is for a thinner chip. Some like the thicker ones and try this place regardless of my chip preferences. I ordered the Steak Fajitas with Corn tortillas. Great portion size. The sides were portioned to complete the meal. I did ask for sour cream since the menu did not say it came with it. Well it did and the waitress did not let me know that and so I got charged for an extra sour cream. Not a big fan of refried beans, however that was what they had. They tasted good and I believe if you are a refried beans type, they would be considered great! The restaurant itself is modern meets industrial vibe. Cozy but not tiny. The staff could be a little more attentive or at least more personable. All in all, I would eat here anytime I am visiting the area and wanting Mexican.
