J. Cody's Steak and Barbeque

Went for barbque ribs at 2pm on a Friday afternoon. They were out. Ordered the catfish special. Big mistake. Portions were child plate portions. They have done away with the sides buffet. Everything there was so blah. Used to be good but don't think we'll go back again.

Spectacular as always! We always have a great dining experience here. From the attentive and friendly staff to the delicious food. Every time we are in town, we stop by for a bite.

At our last visit, I had the brisket sandwich with Mac and Cheese and potato salad. It's was all prepared perfectly and comforting delicious.

Hubby had the two meat combo with sausage and brisket, fried okra, and cabbage. He said everything was delicious and enjoyed it all from the meats to the sides.

I highly recommend stopping in if you're looking for delicious BBQ, comfort food, and spectacular customer service.

Heard this was best place around for bbq. So we tried it. Husband like the chicken ribs and turkey. Hamburger was ok bland didn't have any seasoning.. I wanted pulled pork but they dont have it or blackberry cobbler. Bbq sauce needed more flavor or a little kick. Out wise wasn't bad. Atmosphere was good resturant clean staff was friendly.

Very niche atmosphere for Old Country vibes. Food was ok. Service was fine. They did have love music which I could have done without.

Excellent service, food, and drinks. Their ribs are phenomenal and smoked to perfection. Their sweet tater fries were great. Cody corn was absolutely delicious very different to most corn dishes in the area. Come and give them your business they deserve it. You may come hungry and leave in a food coma it is that good. Military and veteran discounts are available just ask it is 20% of the veteran or servicemember meal not the whole table.

The food was great and warm when served. But the service needed work. Went with a group of about 40 ppl. We had specific menu with several sides. It took a while to get the drinks to us and when we asked or got up to get it ourselves to help them out, the staff was rude to some of us. 1 waitstaff person at the begining to serve 40 ppl. Ended up with 3 but still couldnt get it correct. They knew we were coming and didnt prepare very well with the service staff. Some ppl received food after the others across from them were finished. When the plates were brought out they were not correct. Instead of asking around the table who had xxx like regular waitstaff they took it back. Some said I'll just eat this. Then when we passed the plate to the correct person it confused them. They didnt write it down in the correct order or got the 3 tables mixed up. Caused us to be an hour late for the bus trip back home.

Disgraceful “BBQ” and I do not care if you’re 30 minutes to closing. The sausage and brisket were dry and only edible with the sauce, which tasted more like spiced syrup and looked like syrup…the bottom bun of the sausage sandwich was dang near hard and stale..you gave me the literal bottom of a head of cabbage, no flavor at all…the CodyCorn and Jalepeno corn bread were the only good thing..the cheddar bacon fries felt and tasted old and yall went cheap on the bacon and cheddar…I should have went to C&J All that crap for $40….There’s better BBQ in Dallas and is saying a lot with Elgin right down the road around here…I’ve been an Aggie my whole life and this town doesn’t live up to the University nor it’s history…do better, even at closing…

Food was great! Our server must have been new, but the other servers jumped in when we asked for something. We were celebrating Pharmacy School acceptance! Whoop for another Aggie in the family and J Cody's to celebrate at!

Thank you Michelle for great service.
Brisket is tender & pretty tasty! Baked potato served fresh. Mac & cheese 🧀 is good ~ nothing spectacular (need more flavor & cheese). Beans 🫘 are ok. That jalapeño Cornbread tho is something sweet #Burp . The fried pork chop bites are very yummy 😋 Cooked just right .
But they charge for eerrThang; including extra butter for your baked potato. I am not cheap! ~ I pay for what I want, but they will nickle & dime you to death with these petty condiment charges. (If you would have given me the right scoop of butter 🧈 and cheese in the 1st serving, I wouldn't need to request extra .... duuuhhh 😠

Sandwich was cold, served on a soggy white roll with nothing else when I asked for toppings, Mac and cheese was bland (velveeta?), bacon cheese fried were soggy and stuck (microwaved) to the paper.

They should name their chopped brisket sandwich the Sahara. Ribs were dry and tough too. My high expectations quickly blew away like a tumble weed in New Mexico.

The ribeye steaks were amazing. Grilled with that mesquite smoked flavor gave the steak a distinguished flavor. Also had the catfish (lunch special) and the pecan-ice scream for dessert. We were only here for 3 days and visited this place 4 times!
