REQUIREMENTS

Cody’s Original Roadhouse is a throwback to the comfortable family eateries that grew up by the side of the road before the great highway expansion of the late 50s. You’ll enter an era gone by when things were simpler, more casual, and more relaxed. Stepping into Cody’s you’ll find a cozy, but lively family-friendly restaurant where guests will enjoy music and a menu influenced by the rich flavors of America’s heartland. You’ll start with buckets of peanuts for snackin’ and crackin’. Then, enjoy a range of filling meals such as fresh-cut (right on the premises) flame broiled USDA Choice Steaks, Slow Roasted Prime Rib of Beef, Baby Back Pork Ribs with Cody’s award-winning BBQ Sauce, fresh fish, Fajitas, and don’t forget our Bottomless salad and huge desserts. Cody’s also offers a full bar with cocktails, wines, and Ice-Cold Draft & Bottled Beers. You won’t go home hungry or broke - You’ll just go home happy. Since 1994
