Description

Cody's Cafe delivers a mixed dining experience that ranges from delightful to disappointing. While some patrons rave about the generous portions, friendly service, and quality ingredients—particularly praising the salmon salads and hearty breakfast options—others report issues with bland dishes and cold food. Service can be hit-or-miss, with some guests experiencing delays before receiving attention from staff. With an inviting atmosphere, outdoor seating, and a diverse menu of classic American comfort food, Cody's appeals to families and groups. However, the inconsistency in food quality and service may leave some diners wanting more. Overall, it remains a local favorite worth a visit.

We always sit at the bar on the right side and consistently have our favorite bartender. The drinks are strong and the portions are generous. The pork chops and eggs are amazing!

Cody's delivers an average experience. I liked my burger but it was nothing special. Our server took care of us but didn't really do anything to garner an above-average review. And as for the dining room, we sat outside and there was nothing special to report. Would I return to Cody's? Sure, there was nothing wrong with it. There just was not enough to suggest a special return visit in a city packed with good restaurants.

We adore Cody's and typically visit for breakfast at least once a month. Yesterday was our first time coming on a holiday, and we were impressed to only have a 15-minute wait for a table on Mother's Day. The staff was busy but remained as friendly as ever, and our meal was delicious. Their steak and eggs breakfast is unbeatable, but it's tough to choose between that and one of their various eggs benedict options. If you enjoy crab cakes, the crab cake benedict is fantastic.

Wow! This breakfast was amazing! The service was quick, the portions were generous, and the food was made with fresh ingredients, not packaged hash browns. The staff was incredibly friendly. I'm so full after this meal, I might need a nap, haha.

I visited Cody's for the first time. We arrived just after noon and were seated right away. I decided to order the ribeye steak. Despite the restaurant closing at 3pm, I...
