Customer Review Summary
J. Cody's Steak and Barbeque receives high praise for its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. Many reviewers highlight the complimentary bread and excellent side dishes like the Cody Corn and green beans. The brisket is consistently noted as moist and flavorful, with some recommending the Ends and Pieces. Service is described as attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. However, there are a couple of criticisms regarding inaccuracies in orders, specifically a mix-up between Ribeye and Sirloin steaks. Some diners feel that the move towards a sit-down dining experience has led to longer wait times and a decline in BBQ quality. Overall, the restaurant is recommended for its great smoke flavors and generous portions, but experiences may vary.

This restaurant is AMAZING! I think it's crazy that I haven't written a review yet considering I grew up going here and would visit whenever I was in town since I no longer live in College Station. You get complimentary corn bread and French bread and even that's delicious! Their moist brisket is wonderful. Also ask to see if they have any Ends and Pieces yet. Sure they don't look like your classic steaks but they still got the same taste! Nice, juice and tender. And the Cody Corn never gets old! Ugh I love it so much. Don't forget the green beans either! And if you can definitely save some room for the cobblers with ice cream. Peach Cobbler is my fave but they're all good. Service is attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is so cute and classic. I love coming back here! Can't recommend enough!

I was in town for training and have had J. Cody catering, but I wanted to go to their actual location. I love a great barbeque and smoked meats, I wish this place was in Tucson AZ. When you pull up and get out of your car, the aroma, smoke in the air just takes you to another place. Smells so good, makes your mouth water before you even get in. I got a 3-meat plate, and my coworker got the smoked jalapeno cheddar sausage plate. I'll keep it straight to the point. Damn good eats, fresh with great portions and an awesome price. Fast service, friendly staff, and great atmosphere. You can not go wrong. Go get you some.

We were here on a Wednesday evening. Wasn't too busy, but it wasn't slow. We were seated by the manager and he very kindly thanked for choosing the restaurant to eat at. One of my highest praises will always be for active, helpful management. Our server, Christopher, brought out the bread basket almost immediately. The food was spectacular. Every single thing was very, very good. Of course, I had to get the free cookie! We were offered more bread to take home with our leftovers when we asked for boxes, which I thought was extremely generous of the restaurant. Free cookies & bread?!?! Excellent service, great food, and the restrooms were clean (you know I checked). Yup, I'll be back!

Food was really great. I ordered Fried chicken steak plate. It was very delicious. For dessert I had chocolate chip cookie with vanilla Ice-cream. It was super!

I’ll start off by saying that I never do reviews on restaurants. But tonight I have to. We normally really enjoy J Cody’s. I ordered the 12oz Ribeye tonight and was brought a Sirloin steak instead. I asked the waitress about it when she brought it out and she took it back to the kitchen. She came back and said they told her it was the Ribeye. I am no fool and I’m not new to eating steaks. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in a Sirloin and a Ribeye. I would have been happy to eat it had they just told me they had made a mistake. But they didn’t, they chose to lie about it like people can’t tell the difference. So disappointed!!!!

I haven't eaten here in years and thus I didn't know that they had transformed from a more traditional BBQ joint to a wait to be seated and order from the table restaurant. They were busy and it took about 10 minutes before anyone took my order, then I waited at least another 20 minutes to get my meal! Brisket & sausage just need to be sliced and plated, what took so long? The brisket was bland and served in small bite-sized pieces. Green beans were also bland. So I guess if you want a nicer "dining" experience with mediocre BBQ then this might be your place. As for me, I think I'll stick with one of the better BBQ "joints" in town.

Blast from the past! August 29, 2005. Live bluegrass music on Monday nights. We mandolin players (just 3 of us) would hang out on the porch and keep playing until late, after the place closed for the evening.
