Cody's Original Roadhouse - Crystal River

Love this place but have not been here in bunch of years… challenge the manager at our St. Louis ribs and we were told that we would go to jail if we didn’t pay the bill… we are really old people gorgeous just enjoying a night out. Think twice next time you go here….

Interesting place. Love the decor. The food is ok not great. Service was ok. Maybe it was a weird day. I would not call it a must do in Crystal River.

Great friendly atmosphere. Had the full rack of Ribs. They were cooked to perfection. Waitress Lexi was very efficient. Highly reccamend this casual dining experience.

We had actually planned on another restaurant and it was closed (Monday) so we did a quick look up and found Cody's. Boy am I glad we did. The service was excellent and the food was off the charts good. Between us we had steak, ribs, and hamburger. Everything was awesome, from preparation to taste. Would have loved to have gotten dessert but there was so much food we were all more than full enough. Prices were very reasonable. Top notch restaurant experience.

We were recommended by a local after a boat trip and got a classic American burger as well as onion rings for dish. Really authentic place. Tired with the cozy patina way that gives it more soul than the other fast food locations. The food was good and especially the pomegranates were good. Sometimes you can get coke elsewhere that tastes like chemicals but not here. Service was present and it gave an authentic atmosphere with the many locals who were by for an afternoon drink. We had kids at 12 and 16

We went here today for a birthday lunch with the family, and let me tell you… this place is DISGUSTING. The boneless wings were chewy and the breading was like leather. The onion rings were decent, the celery was all parts of the stems with tons of leaves still attached, blue cheese was sour and watery. The salmon filet was slimy and taste was foul. Mac & cheese was sub-par. My father enjoyed the burger. The coconut shrimp was fine, but the coconut sauce looked unappealing and tastes like it looked. The chicken fried chicken was good, sauce a bit off but it was edible. The sweet tea was good. Now… the women’s restroom was atrocious. Most of the tiles were broken or ripped off the floor showing the exposed cement lines, the floor was sopping wet, remaining tiles were slippery with no wet floor sign, the wall were dirty and had tons of brown drip stains, stalls dark and super small with dirty/clogged toilets.

We've been to Cody's many times. The food has always been delicious. I love the bacon wrapped filet and mashed potatoes My husband loves the burgers. Darlene has been our waitress several times and is always friendly, professional and prompt. My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant.

This place had the filthiest bathrooms of any Cody's we have ever been in both the ladies room and the men's room. While our waitress was great we saw several others standing around and could have been cleaning the bathrooms we were very disappointed 😞

My husband and I tried this restaurant again as it had been a few years since we last dined here. We were hopeful it had changed with the quality of the food, but it has not. My husband had the prime rib sandwich which was not seasoned and tasteless. I had the cheese quesadilla which was "meh" at best. We were sat in the bar area which would normally be ok, but the "f" word was used like common language from patrons and was not enjoyable to hear while eating lunch. I know the restaurant cannot control that, but it was not good sitting there. The only glowing light was the hostess, and server, Kim, who were very friendly and attentive.

Kat was our waitress and did a great job. The restaurant was very busy but she still checked back with us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed, and with a smile and sincerely. My husband's Monday ribs were cooked to perfection. I had the fried chicken sandwich -- huge
and very tasty. Cody's has become our new favorite casual and fun restaurant.

We have always had good food and service at Cody’s. Fajita BOGO Wednesday is a great deal along with the happy hour.
Update 4/2/2025: Fajitas meat and veggie serving size seems to be getting smaller and not worth the $19 unless you do the BOGO night.
