The cooks cook with their bare hands. All OLD people cooking the old school way. This was a mom, pops, uncle, auntie joint. Before they finally closed, the food became terrible. Sweet potatoes not fully cooked. Dry, no meat on the bone, no season ribs. Greens and cabbage undercooked... Don't get me started on the raggedy building...
This place is nothing like it use to be I don't know what happened.
Not what they use to be. Three years ago the food was not good and I have not returned. The place appears run down, and looks closed.
The business is a lesser version of the original Hodges, which had an EXCELLENT BBQ red sauce that was delicious on bread alone. I've only eaten twice since this place has opened because the quality of the food wasn't worth it. That was about two years ago. The ribs weren't as smokey and tasty as before. The employees are less grumpy but still with plain faces. I bet they'd smile if the palm-colored locals enter to dine. Lately, my relatives will eat the food to-go. I went with then but did not go inside. I did notice a boarded window and an unattended spider in front on that window space near the front side door. I hope no one gets into the web because that's not a baby spider or a lazy insect. They'll continue to have my relatives as customers but not me. I think this place should be renamed because Hodges had long lines out of the door and good-tasting BBQ ribs, macaroni and cheese and BBQ sauce. Before the original Hodges had closed they did scale back on the quality of the vegetables by serving canned. If the original Hodges hadn't closed, this is it BBQ wouldn't have NEVER had me as a patron. Salute to the former Hodges and the ones that supported that dream. I heard that embezzlement is why the original Hodges went under.
Use to be good back in the day before they changed owners
If you are looking for Great soul food with Friendly Service, this is the place to go. I am soooo glad you all are back open. We will make sure we visit you all on the regular now!
I just had the most delicious meat loaf. And the service I received was kind warm patient because I was a little undecided lol. I felt like a valued customer and my food was really good so I’m going back I wanna try some ribs next time...
Just moved to the area and discovered Hodge's. Visited 3 times and it was alright until today. Walked in and was greeted by 3 small, rude and bluntly disrespectful children. I endured their ridicules for a while before I spoke up and said something to "them". I politely said "It is not polite to talk about people and be disrespectful". Which I then was given an under-breath reply of "shut up" from the smallest. It was obvious that they were a staff members children, but not one adult in the place (on front line or in the back) apologized or spoke up. I have a thick skin and all but, to be spending money in a business and having to be subjected to disrespectful children and the parent says nothing to me nor addresses the children is unacceptable. Parenting is hard I get it but be accountable. I refused to purchase anything from them but I paid the $14.00+ for my mother's food. Hodge's you have lost my business.
