The ribs were falling off the bone tender, great chicken (we took most of the chicken home), good corn, sweet potato, rolls, and salad.

We started off with a Bloody Mary. They were advertised at the Drink Special of the Day (2 for 1). It was a tall Bloody Mary and very tasty. At Cody's, all of their drinks are 2 for 1 from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. The normal price for the pair of Bloody Marys is $5.89. I looked at the check when the server brought it and the Drink Special said $7.09. I questioned that and the server said when she hits the Drink Special key on the computer, it comes up at $7.09. I asked her why the "special" was $1.20 more than the normal price and she could not tell me. She promptly took the extra $1.20 off the bill and then told us in the future if we wanted the Drink Special of the Day (Bloody Mary on Sunday) to ask the waitress to ring it in as Happy Hour Bloody Mary and not as the Drink Special of the Day.

It seems really stupid to me to have the "special" to cost more than the regular. I wonder how many others besides me caught this since each $1.20 is not much individually but to add them all together is a nice extra profit. If Cody's want to do that, they should at least have the price of the Drink Special of the Day posted.

Anyhow, just watch your bill and question anything that seems out of line.

Good catch, Buggy. Thanks much for the heads up. Also think it was nice despite the pricing glitch, you still mentioned that the food and beverage were excellent.
