We live near by the Mulberry Cody's and go there quite often. The biggest problem we have is getting waited on. They have seated us and no one ever comes to our table to even get a drink order, we usually have to stop someone and they always tell us we are not their table, we usually end up with a manager waiting on us. The manager tells us a new person is assigned as waiter for our table and they will take care of it. Eventually we get waited on.

Always a bad experience at Mulberry Cody's. Food never cooked correctly, service horrible, very slow, you wait forever for your food and drinks and the food is always cold. This happens every time. I live within minutes of this location and never go anymore. Three torturous experiences are enough. The one at LS is much better.... or it used to be.

I have only been to this Cody’s once. It was just an OK experience. We are about the same distance between this location and the LSL location. The last trip to the LSL location was just ok as well. It is a shame the Mulberry location is not better. The folks up on the north end deserve more choices.

Thumbs down Going, going...

According to The Villages Gourmet Club (Website)
Cody's Lake Sumter Landing opened 10/26/09.
Cody's Brownwood opened 9/22/14.
Cody's Mulberry Grove opened 12/26/17.
All the same owners.

Today, food ordering in large restaurants is automatic at the POS. Sell 122 hamburgers this week and your stock of hamburger meat (and buns) gets replenished in the next delivery so you never run out. Stop paying your food bill and your distributor shuts you off. Thus no hamburgers today. Tomorrow there may be no strip steaks too. Restaurants can't go to Publix and buy retail. It must be through a distributor. Same goes for liquor. Order a Grey Goose Martini and they tell you they're out of Grey Goose - that's a sign they may not be paying their liquor bill. And they can't buy alcohol at a retail store to replenish their stock. It's against state law.

My guess is: Mulberry Grove Cody's is going under soon unless the owners fix a problem.

Had dinner there tonight because we had something to do out that way. More crowded than usual but it is high season and Wed. is BOGO Fajita day! They have a sign out front saying they have openings for multiple positions.

Service was fine. Our food was fine. This is not always the case but no complaints tonight.

I'm usually very disappointed there That being said, I go a couple of times a month to hear Mike Abbott entertainment.
Went Friday night.
The SERVICE was excellent!
The FOOD was great.
I was stunned.....maybe things are starting to turn around! Fingers crossed.

That's until next week's manager takes over. We only sit at the bar when we go there, at least a bartender is usually within earshot.

too long! It was bad about a month after it opened! We tried it twice and that was 2 times too many. The service, food, quality... all bad!!! There was a manager on site when it first opened and then he (or the owner) disappeared. The service might be the worst I've seen in the Villages

Last time we went to Cody's Mulberry was bartender lady's first night, management left her alone, no one to help! Can you imagine the entire bar and restaurant drinks! Wonder she didn't walk right out. Just learning the registrar is a job by it self.

Just saw in the Villages news they have a new manager for all 3 Cody's (I think) Maybe things will get better. We went to the test night opening of the place and it was December 2018, opened to all New Years 2019

In my humble opinion, the three local Codys have had two glaring problems. The first being a managing partner that got in way over his head trying to deal with multiple locations. He just announced his retirement. Their second and biggest problem has been a fast talking, slick but inferior area manager that has overseen day to day ops, and has let service and cleanliness deteriorate to the point of serious health department violations under his watch. He has just been promoted to run the entire operation. No, he isn't a new manager.

C.O.R. Mulberry got their Liquor License and Food Inspection on 12/14/17, 12 days before they officially opened (12/26/17). They've been open overTWO years now.
