It is too bad, because the employees are all great, but the stress they must be under working in these conditions.

As you had mentioned, there are many other places in the Villages to give our money to, not this tyrant. Think twice about going to Cody's in the future, you are giving your money to a very ignorant man who only cares about the almight $, not the customers satisfaction.

We taught our kids as they grew up that how you treat a waiter, waitress, janitor, doorman, etc. speaks volumes about you and your character.

Having had one thoroughly disgusting meal there out of about 15, and a rude waitress has already made me not want to return there. The peanut shells etc. are okay, but I think that underneath them, the place needs a good SCRUBBING.

Went there this evening (Cody's)..I should say tried to. It was so packed you could barely get in the door. So, I guess enough folks here must like the place. We didn't want to wait so we walked over to Gator's. The bar had one couple sitting there and the tables were half empty. Is Gator's always this empty?

FYI, Mike the bartender has not been employed at Cody's since May or so. Nor has Nicki, Lorelea, Chris or Christina. They go through bar staff quickly there. The entire staff seems to be walking on eggshells because there seems to be no job security there.

Been there many times over the years-Never had a problem with service -Found the staff and manager to be super friendly and always around checking on things-Onion rings best in the Villages
