The food was fantastic, and the service was even better! I absolutely loved our server (Elina)—she was either from Ukraine or Russia, and listening to her talk about the menu was a delightful experience. There wasn’t a single negative aspect about the visit. Highly recommended!

Went Valentine's Eve early so we could still catch the super bowl and love this little place! We used to go to Logan's Steakhouse and maybe from the same franchise because it has the same vibe. Don't quote me on it, but it's cute, food is awesome and happy hour applies to cocktails also! ❤️❤️❤️ Years later Valentine's Day was on a weekday so we went today and as we have on other days during the years, everything is consistent. The only thing that has changed is the happy hour is limited to certain drinks but this Cody passion drink is HUGE and similar to a Bahama mama..

Very good meal for the price but I found the dining temperature area a bit too cold, fun atmosphere where the server writes their name on your table cloth. My server was Angel and she did a excellent job. Would definitely return.

First of all, Mike made the visit worth every penny. Wet usually went to Clearwater Cody’s but decided to try this one tonight, Christmas Eve dinner with the one I love! The steak was delicious, the BAM was on point, and Mike made every moment feel like we were the only ones there. Thank you for the exquisite service!

Great experience I've eaten here before in the past it was more rowdier but now it's more calm I enjoyed my meal wasn't as messy as usual there's usually peanuts everywhere but that's part of the restaurants niche. Only this time around there was no music because of the system being down so it's very quiet which was a little weird usually you hear something before there was music playing so it's just probably this time around. The server was very nice Lina believe was her name. More than one person came to check on my table to make sure that we was okay so that was a major plus and I felt like I was attended to. The food portion was massive two people can eat off of one plate. So you definitely get your bang for your buck for your money. Amazingly good and tasted great. I had the combo meal of shrimp and a half a rack of ribs it was $23 and worth every penny. You got salad and rolls with the yummy cinnamon butter as well as a side which I picked the loaded potato. I had to take half of it home because it was huge. I would definitely recommend. And I will be coming back to check more the menu previously I ordered the coconut shrimp and that was amazing as well.

They seemed understaffed but tried their hardest. Mushroom swiss burger was cooked perfectly to medium, sweet potato fries were cold and definitely sat around awhile. Beer was cold and chocolate cake was delicious and enough for two. The bottomless salad seems like a great deal as it comes with bread. It was my first time there and seemed like a Texas roadhouse, especially with the free peanuts all over the floor.

This was my first time here and def not my last. I had the 14oz Ribeye cooked medium and even though it was pretty pink it was nonetheless juicy, full of flavor and melted in my mouth. They got HUMUNGOUS baked potatoes and great dinner rolls reminiscent of Thanksgiving rolls. DO NOT hesitate for one moment to bypass this great restaurant up for another. U will not regret it!!👍👍👍

We are from the Midwest and frequently dine @ Texas Roadhouse. It was nice to find a place very similar to it and just as good or better food, service, and atmosphere.
