The food at this place continues to slide off and (not) ever very good. The fries can (still) be good....but that's about it. - 2 stars overall. - 3 - 4 stars for the fries. read more

So sad to see what's happened to our legendary Cody's burger. I ordered the famous cheese burger I've been getting here for almost 3 decades only to discover something had gone awry the second my plate hit the table. The "new" gourmet style bun was about the size of silver dollar and the burger as flat as a potato chip!! You'd think I was in manhattan eating chefs portions. Apparently, the famous Cody's burger reign is over. The fries while in smaller portions are still fantastic. read more

Best Walleye ever! We go specifically on Wednesday to get the walleye! Cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly! I don't even use cocktail sauce or tartar sauce because it doesn't need any! Drinks are great and reasonably priced! Definitely give this place a try. All the other sandwiches and entrees my group has ordered were fantastic too. Busy at lunchtime, but still taken care of in enough time to get back to work on time! read more

Great menu, nothing disappoints. Plenty of good sandwich and burger options as well as appetizers. Classic TV's for every game. Full of static and weird lines on the screen. Just like watching the game in Grandpa's basement read more

Friendly people. Cold beer. Good bar food. Some pool tables and other games. Fair prices. My kind of place. read more

Great service and wonderful burger. Highly recommended. Also a local business which I believe is important to support.

Hamburger was just plain.. The fries weren't very good. They only had one person running the bar and serving tables. Our bill was incorrect, and we had to have it changed. read more

So disappointing. Waited too long on service. It stunk in there. Won't be going back. Get air-conditioning and bigger bathroom

This use to be the spot for a giant hamburger back in the day! Now you can still get a pretty good dive burger, but there are so many places in town now that one has lots of choices. Do you want quality or quantity? While the burgers are still a good size with okay flavor: the fries and other sides they offer will leave you disappointed. I'd say the place is more of a dive bar with a decent burger instead of a restaurant with a bar. Not a bad place to take a group who want burgers and beers. read more

Food is always good, staff is very friendly. Very fast on takeout orders, great atmosphere.

We tried the Mushroom Swiss Burger and the Double Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Burger. Both were excellent. The hand cut fries and hand cut onion rings were crunchy and delicious. We'll be back. read more

Having a sign stating be patient to the people that showed up to work implies people don't want to work there. What I read is your wages aren't competitive enough to keep staff. You would have plenty of staff if you paid people enough, shame on you! read more

Dive like atmosphere. Good service, friendly wait staff. Seat yourself. Two small separate rooms/spaces. Can pay at the counter or via waitress. They have pool tables with pay to play and tournaments and a digital jukebox. There are TVs showing sports. The burger was good but the fries were homemade cut from potatoes and absolutely wonderful. read more

Ok this place has been around forever and yes its a bar, so you have been forewarned. It's not the place you go for a family Sunday lunch. That aside it's known for its fresh burgers and fries. Which is all cooked from fresh ingredients by order. They can cook a nice burger here and the fries are great to. Now I understand everyone has their favorite local burger place, this is it for a lot of people. I've eaten here many many times over the years, and it's consistent in good food quality. Now it being a bar they do have pool table's and host a Sunday tournament. It's a blue collar place with friendly servers, they can be outspoken at times in a colorful way. My favorite thing here though isn't the burger, its the walleye, served on, you guessed it Walleye Wednesday. You get a good sized fillet of fried walleye with cole slaw and those fresh cut fries. One of the best walleye meals in town. So if you are in the mood for some blue collar bar food, cooked fresh to order, give this place a try. It's been a Springfield staple for years and it's still going strong. read more

We love Cody's! I have eaten at Cody's since I was a kid and continue to eat at Cody's as an adult. My favorite location is the location on Sunshine. They have the Larry Burger and we have always enjoyed the atmosphere and service here. Springfield has a lot of great places to get burgers, but Cody's has a pure, simple burger that I always find enjoyable and would often rather have than an over the top burger from other places. Cody's fries are delicious too and I have a particular soft spot for the breaded mushrooms. Next time you are craving a burger, pop into Cody's, belly up to the bar and enjoy a nice cold beer and a great burger. You will not be disappointed. read more

Came across town for dinner only to find a sign on the door that kitchen is closed for maintenance. Guess you better call before you drive over here. read more

My family has a tradition after a long hike to find the best burger in the area, and our research led us here. First thought on pulling into parking lot "If the parking lot is this full at 11:30 on a Sunday morning, than either the burgers are amazing or the locals have serious drinking problems." Thankfully for us, and for the livers of Springfield, it was the former. I ordered the mushroom and Swiss (with bacon) while my husband ordered the bacon cheddar. The waitress reviewed our order and read his back as a "small bacon cheddar," which my husband immediately corrected to "the big one." After convincing her he could handle it, we sat back and awaited our meal. When it arrived, we understood why she had hesitated. The large burger is HUGE. Both burgers were amazing- hand-formed patties cooked to the correct temperature (a true medium and a true mid-rare) with really flavorful, crisp bacon. It was a great experience! read more

Nice atmosphere and great food. Burgers are big, fries are awesome. We ordered the app platter and 2 burgers and were completely satisfied with the meal read more

Holy COW. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to. We had quick, friendly service for our table of 4. We each ordered something different: Pork tenderloin, cheddar burger, rueben and a 1lb bacon cheddar burger. Insanely delicious corned beef that was freshly pulled, hand cut fries and bomb home made ranch. Topped it all off with a cold brew. Great establishment! Will be back. read more

I was absolutely blown away by this place. The food is fresh and insanely good. I ordered the Smaller Cheeseburger Medium Well, Curly Fries, and Chicken Tenders. The Cheeseburger was 8/10. The meat is of a higher quality, and it is was cooked to perfection. The fries were alright, but they taste better the more you drink. However, the Chicken Tenders were literally THE BEST IVE EVER HAD. Anywhere. Period. They have pool championships every Sunday and Tuesday. Super chill environment. read more

My biz associate and I ate here recently. Both got the pork tenderloin sandwich. It was greasy and bland. My associate enjoyed it more than I did but the curly fries were good. The waitressing service was slow. No offer for a drink refill no extra napkins and no one too ask. It wasn't because they were too busy .. except for the body that was found in the parking lot and removed (no kidding). I would go back because they were open late and the food served other patrons looked good .. burgers fish etc. read more

We've wanted to try this place for several years now and today we finally made the choice. We arrived to a packed bar and were given menus and told the specials . My wife and I both chose the same special, a bacon cheddar and grilled onion burger. We both ordered our burgers medium well done. They arrived and my bottom bun was totally soggy with blood and grease from the burger. When I bit into it, it was totally red and bloody. It was warm, but way undercooked for ground beef. My wife's burger was the same. We waited for our waitress, Jade, to check in with us and ask how the meal was. It did not happen until she brought the bill and asked if she could clear our plates. We had eaten our fries, but each had bloody burgers still on our plate. I stated the burgers were raw, she looked at the red oozing meat and said, "oh, sorry about that". She then carried them away. When she came to take my credit card, she did not mention the raw burgers. We paid the bill and left. We will not return. We will not recommend the place. However, if you like raw hamburger, this is your place! The portions are large and the meat is bloody! read more

Great sirloin dinner for 12 bucks, included two sides. Nice little hole in the wall with friendly service.

Nasty food. Even worse drinks. Bartenders can't make anything unless it's opening a beer. Even if you tell them everything in the drink. F this place. read more

If you are looking for a place to eat and have stumbled on my review please stop and look no further. Eat here. Do it. Stop looking for some place to eat and eat here now. Order a burger and a fat tire and eat. Do it. Seriously the best burger in this town. Only place that compares in a place called the sports page in st louis and it tastes just as amazing. So can eat a good burger here or you can travel the 4 hours to st louis and eat it there. read more

The best hamburgers and fresh cut fries in town. Ad now it's non-smoking as well. I would get the hamburger with a fried egg and bacon if you can't decide. read more

I was a little skeptical by looks of the place especially because I'm in missourri. However I was very pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere was great and food was even better. The sign should be changed to best burgers in the country!!! Pits welcoming staff too! read more

Great little bar with incredibly good food. French fries are homemade and delicious. So many good food items on the menu.

My husband and I found this place on yelp and decided to try it out. It is a dive in every sense of the word. The burgers were great- very juicy and flavorful. It was a $12 burger for $8. The mushrooms were tasty also, the half order was more than enough for 2 of us. The prices were very reasonable. Springfield is now non-smoking so the air was much cleaner than we expected from previous reviews. They have a kids menu that was very reasonable as well. read more

Were do I begin. A lot of history in this little place. The food is excellent. You want something good just open up the menu and point at something. I'm a fan of the chicken tenders and the rueban. Good place to have a tasty drink of your choice. 3 fifty cent pool tables. Always someone up there to play a game. Pool tournaments on Tues and Sundays with payout. Good people and good times. read more

Cody's has been around forever & still as good as always. Not a trendy martini bar (whew) just a cozy watering hole with great food! Burgers & onion rings to die for! read more

We've been here a couple times now and have been really happy with our service and product. It's a homey dive bar that anyone can stumble into and be welcomed. The one on the south side has the nicest bartenders and staff. Burgers are great and made how they should be- huge and stacked with anything you'd like. Recommended! read more

It's a bar that also serves food. Found that out a little too late when we walked in with our kids. Met some coworkers here, and the food was decent and the servers were friendly. However, it is a bar, and bars are bars, and are not for kids, so was glad the swearing and lewd behavior was not obvious. Would definitely go here with the guys after work, or even with just my wife and I, but never again with the kids in tow. read more

Not bad, but I do think the rating is a little high. Dive bar atmosphere and average bar food. I tried the wings, cheese burger and fries. The wings were too soggy for my liking ( I asked for crispy), my burger was dry and gray (I asked for medium rare), and the fries were nothing to write home about. The service was good and the people seemed friendly. I'd be willing to give it another go. read more
