Fill those 6 tables at 8:15 .............I doubt it, should have been more flexible...

At 8:15 in the evening those six empty tables probably remained emptied (or at least half) the rest if the evening. I rarely see crowds there so "late" for dinner! Glad you will go back though. We always have a good time at Cody's! Next time look for us we will sit with you!

I change my opinion based on so many great opinions opposite of mine. Thank you all.

The owner doesn't care - why should he, the place is always packed - so if he loses 1 or 2 people = oh well their loss!

Specials are no longer till 4pm but done at 1 pm ( or so our waitress told us) and we arrived at around 3:15. Menus were dirty with traces of someone else's food on each one. My wine glass had lipstick on it. Salads were give us but the salad bowl was taken away, never to be seen again. Main course arrived about 30 seconds after we got our salads. Food was jammed onto the table. Probably should have called over a manager. Maybe a manager should have checked with us and asked "how everything was"? Waitress seemed fairly new so someone should have been keeping an eye on her. Our bill was incorrect and we had to have it corrected. No deserts come with the meal anymore.
I've tried to contact Cody's via "feedback" on their website but it does not work. Tried "contact us" on their site and that doesn't work either. Finally called the main office and they suggested I write them a letter. So I wrote a letter, as I would hope they would want feedback on their restaurant.
Couple of weeks have gone by and no call or any kind of contact. I am getting the impression that Cody's' really doesn't care if you have a lousy experience in their place or not and I will no longer suggest them as a place to eat.
So, my only resort is to tell people of my experience.

Wrong beer on tap

We have enjoyed Cody's since we have been here - we love the fun atmosphere and the food has been great! But yesterday we had a second experience of getting a beer on tap that wasn't what they said it was. The first time was at the end of October, and after telling the server several times that we were not given Ultra, he looked into it and said there was a mistake. Yesterday it happened again. This time the manager came over and insisted that it was Ultra. However, the beer was the same color and taste as the Miller Lite, which another friend was drinking. He came over with two small glasses of both types and asked us to try them - they tasted the same. It wasn't a big deal to me, but one of our friends drinks only Ultra and she asked to have a bottle instead. The server came back saying they were out of it! The whole thing had us thinking that this hasn't happened just these two separate times. We will still go to Cody's, but I just thought I would put this out here and see if anyone else has experienced this here or at any other restaurant.

I have never had any problem with the draught beer at Codys - and I believe I can tell the difference between many types of beer. Between Miller Lite and Ultra, I do not know if I could.

Codys always has very cold draught beer and that is how I like my beer.

At exactly 8:00 the manager came out with the takeouts and said he heard we had an issue with the timing. Told him the story and he said, "tell you what I'm going to do...." at this point I'm thinking he will comp the meals which would have been about the only thing that would have eased my tension, he said, "... come back in again some time and we'll see if we can get you out quicker". Haha, I almost fell off the chair. Needless to say, I don't go to Codys unless I'm with a group and they have picked the restaurant. Maybe twice in the last 2 years.

Gustavo you ahd every reason to expect cody's to comp your next mea from soup to nuts at that
