This place is amazing. The staff were very accommodating (we had a small child and a person with a walker). I ordered the club sandwich-it was fantastic! The burgers were large and very flavorful. The roast beef was amazing. My husbands steak was one of the best he’s ever had (he’s a picky steak eater). Truly wonderful. Very clean restrooms also. We were able to speak with the owners (who are also the cooks) and they were so welcoming and friendly. This is the best restaurant we went to on our vacation (SC to PA, even visiting a Brazilian steakhouse in VA). When we are in the area again, we WILL be stopping here to eat!

Vegetarian options: They serve lots of veggies

Parking: Rhod restaurant is in a large shopping center so there’s plenty of parking, even for larger vehicles

Wheelchair accessibility: The curb and door entry are flat so easy to get in and out of. Plenty of room inside for a wheelchair or walker

We actually used to visit all the time. The food was always pretty good. We enjoyed it a lot! Used to, anyway.However, the last time we went was a year ago because they overcharged us. I thought it was an innocent mistake. We didn't realize when we were there because we were never given a bill, but when we got home, we added it up and realized we were overcharged by almost $8. I called in the next day and the same person that rang me up answered the phone. When I said I thought I might have been overcharged, she instantly remembered me but brushed it off without offering a refund, future discount, apology, or any other type of resolution. Just brushed it off like "oops".The more I thought about it the more I realized it wasn't an accident and that really did not sit well with me. I didn't say anything more but someone who was with me brought it up about a month later and said it still bothered them. All in all, we just haven't had any interest in returning. It's sad because the food is enjoyable but I don't care to visit or support dishonest business. Maybe the owner has no idea what is going on and maybe the waitress was just pocketing the extra, but I don't care to be the one getting ripped off. :-(

Rude. Food is Mediocre. McDonald's is cheaper and taste better and you won't have to deal with a rude old grumpy man. I'm sure his life is miserable and that's why he's so rude and nasty. But we won't be back. We watched him yell at someone over parking. He may be the owner or just a hateful man who should have retired long ago and just pushing it to the limit that just works there either way we won't be visiting again for the Quality of the food and that man's straight ugliness towards people. There's to many competitors and although you guys made an impression it's not one that has me wanting to eat here again.

Parking: There was plenty of parking and I watched the owner or worker yell at someone over it.

Went in today with my mom and ordered the catfish. It was the worst catfish I’ve ever eaten, I only ate 2 bites. Service was great though.
