Personally I prefer to try a place at least twice if the first time was bad. Do I take other opinions into consideration? Of course. But all that would do for me is to confirm my own bad experience if that happened.

I like what Max did - first visit, not good - next two he found what that bar/restaruant does well.

Makes sense, if you feel there is potential from the first visit. :icon_hungry:

I agree. Sometimes a place warrants a second visit. At other times I write the place off of my list unless friends give it a big A-OK and convince me to try it again.

I need to heed the "try again" advice for the Mexican restaurant in Colony Plaza. We tried it during the first week of it's opening and the food was cold. Haven't gone back but need to. Thanks for reminding me that one bad meal may not be the norm.

New Manager
 
All good at Cody's now. Getting rid of Sandy was one of the best decissions they could have made.

LittleDog 09-29-2011 02:28 PM

Who or what is Sandy and what did he/she do that made people feel this way?

Bonny 09-30-2011 06:05 AM

She was a not so pleasant manager.

gongoozler 10-03-2011 09:30 AM

Ate there yesterday during the football games . . food was good dependable bar food and the service was outstanding . . . but the place is LOUD!

Bonny 10-03-2011 09:38 AM

It was crazy busy yesterday ! They were making money for sure. It was fun !!

Posh 08 10-08-2011 09:58 PM

What?
 
Guys, Cody's was really, really good. Staff, great. Prime Rib/Coconut Shrimp Combo, well try it, just sayin, the real deal. Also, they have paper towels in the Men's Room. None of that hand dryer crap. Miss Sam loved her dinner as well as my hard to please BIL/SIL. He has a ribeye and was all over it. Can't say what she had.......well that's an inlaw thing lol.

Bill32 10-12-2011 11:59 AM

After trying all of the meat places around here Cody's has been consistently good quality and value........and I'm picky!!

GTTPF 10-12-2011 03:49 PM

We went to Cody's a couple of times during our last visit. We thought the ribs were great as was all of the other food. The service was good. We have no complaints at all.

Bill32 10-13-2011 08:04 PM

sorry you had a bad steak. I have to that my wife and I tried all of the steak places and have come back and stayed with Cody's. I've had all of the cuts ( Ribeye my favorite) cooked medium and haven't been disappointed yet. I'm a picky steak person and don't give my recommendation easily. Give it another try and if there is a problem with the meat tell the manager.

Posh 08 10-13-2011 08:13 PM

Oh did I mention, if possible ask for Dani, she is great. The managers kept coming around asking how things were, we had Dani and told them that all was well. They wanted to know why we had Dani cause her area was else where (they were kidding) and of course we said cause we asked for her. One of the managers is from Virginia, nice kid. Hmmm, well it worked for us Virginians.

Bonny 10-13-2011 08:37 PM

Yes, Dani is awesome. I had my birthday party at Codys on opening day 2 years ago. Dani was one of our servers. She's so cool !! Of course I'll be having my birthday there again.
I had a bacon cheeseburger tonight. Delish. Joel was playing on the patio. It was a great night !!!

Happy Birthday whenever and always, love that place. Wish we were there. When you see her, please tell her she has fans in Virginia, Ocala and Lady Lake.

Bonny 10-13-2011 08:51 PM

I'll tell her. She was working tonight. Always smiling & happy !!

My guess is that you have not tried all the Steak places. Cody's is 3rd rate, maybe lower. Among 3rd rate places, it's steaks are probably very good. Once was enough for me.

But if he likes it..............

I'm always open to suggestions MrMark, which steak places do you find superior to Cody's??

Mr Hanky 11-12-2011 08:48 PM

After reading this thread I am looking foward to giving Cody's a try. :beer3:

Bonny 11-13-2011 09:20 AM
