Peeking through the window, we couldn't see anyone inside. An away note on the door would have been helpful. We took a 15-minute detour only to be left disappointed. This review is for a dinner meal.

We ordered the Catfish dinner which came with fried okra, greens, cornbread, and french fries. The portion sizes were generous and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that on Sundays, Rodney offers free beer or daiquiris, as well as a free meal for kids. This was a fantastic dining experience and we highly recommend it. Keep up the great work, Brotha! As for kid-friendliness, the restaurant offers free chicken tender strips and fries for children.
