A manager would have to be blind not to see them all over the windows, chairs and tables.

We never went back. And all windows and doors were closed, so they weren't coming in that way. I guess they just live in there. Wonder how many live in the kitchen?????????????????
People open the doors all night. Flies come in. Plus they have an open bar.

Codys is having some real issues right now I wonder if there isn't a huge change coming to that location. Things have really went downhill there for the last 18 months lots of issues the only thing it really has to offer is the location and the nightly music when you look what is around that there are not any good alternatives As far as inside seating with good music And the music at times is not good, They had a gal there last year that had a bunch of recorded soundtracks and sang with some them kind of like her own personal karaoke. city fire is really cutting into there bussiness.

No flies, no peanut shells, no bird poop, great music! What else could you ask for?

I'm there about 5 nights a week. What kind of issues are you talking about ? I think most of the entertainment is great. Dunning Shaw, Mark Seymour & Suzie Casta. A lot of them sing with music tracks. There isn't any room for a band.

Cody's always has an "old oil" smell to it. I haven't been back there since 2010...greasy food isn't my thing.

The only issue with Cody's I have heard about on TOTV is the one proved to be false about a waitress telling an amputee veteran his son should not look at FOX News. That was a couple of years ago and was a very strange thread on TOTV.

Cody's is a great place with a super staff and excellent management. The restaurant has no health issues with peanut shells on the floor and I seriously doubt if they sweep them into Lake Sumter.

Go there, sit at the bar, and have a Barburger. Where else can you get an excellent hamburger for $2.50 and ice-cold beer to boot?

Their "after church" specials on Sunday are an unbeatable bargain with the entire dinner for $8.99.

Cody's is around to stay for a long, long time and it has a booming business from opening until closing. No issues at all!

Won't eat outside at Cane Gardens because of the bird poop.
won't eat at China Buffet becuase they got closed down
and certainly won't eat at Cody's because i don't want to have to compete with flies over who eats my food.
Went to cody's once when it first open and have not been back since.

Health Inspectors passed Giovanni's with absolutely no violations as well as the Son Rise Cafe. Now that is impressive

The problem with Cody's is the open window at the bar which is a freeway for flies.

I've heard that Cody's Restaurant offers a fly soup special this time of year, very reasonably priced.

As far as birds on the patio, I think you'll notice birds on any restaurant patio, it's not unique to Codys. It's part of patio dining.

Yepper, birds & flies are part of what we call "nature". They are everywhere.
