Wow - unbelievable how everyone wants to jump on the bit$$ing wagon - I find most of these stories just that - stories. Someone heard this from someone who heard it from someone... and on and on. If you search, you will find stories about every single restaurant in the area.
I have been to Cody's many times - go to all 3 of them. Yes, occasionally the food is just OK, most times pretty good, and once in a great while it's terrible. When it's terrible, I talk to a manager and the issue has always been taken care of. I'm not sure what bathroom the poster went into, but I have never seen any of the bathrooms in a "nasty" condition. I'm not sure what "nasty" means... but they have always been clean and don't stink.
Cody's in Brownwood has the coldest beer of all 3, Lake Sumter has the best view, and Mulberry is a short walk for me
All 3 have some of the best music every night in The Villages.
The only way to avoid going to a restaurant where there is an issue once in a great while is to eat at home. And what do you do when your spouse accidently drops the top from a seasoning shaker in the salad? Post here - haha!
