    Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger and French Fries
    Ricky G.

    A neighborhood Char-broiler spot that looks consistent and clean. Tasty burgers, seasoned fries (places like this sometimes don't) and the teriyaki sandwich was passable. Will likely spot by again if craving this specific burger craving! Parking was easy and seating outside and inside.

    Double Cheeseburger with 1000 Dressing on side
    Tamica J.

    The food delivery from Grub Hub arrived quickly. I underestimated this burger. I ordered the Double Cheeseburger. It was a lot! I couldn't finish it all. I ordered medium well and received it that way. Enjoyed it. If ever in the area, give them a try.

    This burger spot was highly recommended to us by a friend so I decided to try it out. Right off the bat, I can appreciate that they have lots of different options with fresh ingredients. They have sandwiches, salads, and the most standout thing for me is the zucchini fries. I don't think there's anything ground breaking about their burgers, I got a jr. burger and zucchini fries. But it did feel more on the healthier fresh side with the bun and patty not being too oily. But if I want a burger I would rather have it taste better with more flavorful sauces and a juicy patty. And the cheese wasn't super melty. Tasted like a backyard burger.

    My niece is in town and wanted to visit one of her childhood haunts. She was a bit disappointed that the original owner and long-term staff are no longer there but it's been years so it's to be expected. She missed the Greek influence in their food selection but ordered a pastrami sandwich and zucchini fries for us to share. Both were good but a bit on the greasy side. The ranch dressing that came with the zucchini fries was rich, creamy and tasty. Rod's offers comfort food directed at the younger generation (due to grease level ;) )

    The device was amazing and the chess was perfectly melted on top of a juicy burger. I remember coming here when I was little and will alway like this place

    COOK who throws old fries back into the hot oil to reheat to sell
    Ashlee D.

    Today, my husband and I came to purchase lunch for our family when I witnessed this cook throw some fresh fries on top of the old fries that were in the pan to dish out to us for our meals. I shared this with the girl at the counter because the guy was pretending to not understand English when I told him about it. However, he understood that I notice his poor food service tactic. This is the 2nd time that I have witnessed this cook doing this. The first time was on a different day I saw this cook take the old fries from the pan that had been sitting for who knows how long, and he put the old fries into the oil to reheat to put in our order. When I brought this to the attention of the lady at the counter, the other cook who did speak English told him that you can't do that. From a Health & Safety perspective, food should be served at the correct temperature, and not reheated back into hot oil. This guy should be fired because he is making poor decisions when it comes to food quality. We've been dining at Rod's since the Original owner Dino & Andy owned this place in 2000's and this new owner needs to ensure their cooks don't continue to diminish the name "Rod's" with serving food that isn't fresh. Please, do better!!

    Double cheeseburger with fries

    It's a solid place for burgers I got the double cheeseburger with fries and drink and it was delicious the fires were crispy and the burger was huge!

    Double Cheese Combo for the boy
    Toshi I.

    Since my son loves cheeseburgers, I wanted to go to a place we hadn't tried before. The boys ordered the burgers and I got the fish sandwich. Both were delicious and tasted fresh. Da Hubs said these were the best char burgers he's tried. As far as char goes, my son agrees. We've added this to our list of fave burger places. Funny thing is, when you first arrive, the counter is really close to the entrance. There's ample seating to the side and the place is very clean. Parking in the small lot.

    My egg white omelette, bacon eggs and pancakes and a side of pancakes.

    What ranch dressing do you use? It's so good!

    We are glad that you like it, it is a basic recipe based on mayonnaise and butter milk, we make it every other day for more than 40 years, the Greek oregano that we mix in makes the difference.

Great location. Short walk to the beach after your meal. Go early or prepare to wait a bit. I'd say 15-20 mins for a couple and double for a larger party than 4.

    Oh Martha. We gotta have a talk girl. What is going on?…read more I stopped by on a Sunday about 11:30ish for a party of 2. We got sat pretty quickly as this place was busyyyy. busyyy worker bees. Everyone was wanting to get a seat at Martha's! I only waited about 20 minutes if that. Not too shabbyyyy ! I started with an iced Spanish latte as I love my Spanish lattes. This is where everything started going downhill. First sip, questionable. Second sip, even more questionable. Mix the coffee with the straw for a minute, another sip, even worse. It tasted like I was drinking the water from a burnt coffee bean with a hint of cinnamon. It was NOT good. I was very sad. I ended up ordering an iced chai latte as a secondary choice.. because how hard is it to mess up a chai? WELP. It was managed to be messed up as well. How?! Martha girl, who was making the drinks this day, cause nuh uh, more training now. The iced chai latte was watery. It did not resemble a chai at all, even the color was weird. I took 2 sips and never finished either drink. I had my counterpart try it-- mind you, I took a sip and gave no reaction to not bias my counterpart. Once they tried it, they were just as astonished to how horrible both drinks were. They ordered the banana bread latte. oh my-lanta. Artificial, sweet, sour banana flavor, he had it switched out for a blended pump shake that was much better-- REALLY sweet, but they loved it. For the breakfast option, I ended up ordering the huevos playa. The hashbrowns were cooked evenly and tender. The sauce/salsa it was sitting in. not it. you're not that guy pal. tasted like pace salsa from a jar or something. that weird salsa taste that makes you aware that it is not home made. I did not like it whatsoever. The sour cream, guac and eggs were the only thing I enjoyed out of this dish. I would not order this again. The cinnamon pancake was the only thing that saved the experience, but even then, $17 for a singular pancake is absolutely insane. Overall, I was extremely, and I mean extremely, disappointed. I wish it lived up to all the social media hype that is around, but my taste buds were extremely unhappy leaving. Service was great, the lady removed the banana bread latte off our bill for not liking it, but I stayed with my 2 awful drinks. I ended up going to a coffee shop to fill my Spanish latte cravings after leaving. Parking is on the street, metered. fills up FAST.

Our server, Raquel, was lovely and on top of things. I had what I think is the best Mai Tai I've ever had, even while in Hawaii! Just delicious. We enjoyed the fried asparagus and bacon deviled eggs as our appetizer. The buttermilk fried chicken, crispy chicken sandwich and the ribeye melt were really good, but I am STILL thinking about how incredible Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni was. So incredibly creamy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. My daughter orders this every time it's on a menu, and this is by far the best I've ever tasted. SO good. We had mentioned we were celebrating our twins' birthday, and they were served two lovely pieces of chocolate cake with a candle, AND a card for each of them signed by the staff. Never have I experienced that before for a birthday in a restaurant! Just a great touch. I am SO glad my daughter suggested we go here, and every time we're in town we will return.
