We had burgers and fries, average burgers but great fresh cut french fries. Outside upper deck is pet friendly and Maggie enjoyed it immensely. Watch out for the crab stuffed jalapenos they are throat burning hot. Already know what we are going to have next time, spied the tuna tacos on the way out they looked delish.

Kody's is always a great place to take your kingfish or redfish for cooking and eating. The fish is always better when you caught it yourself! They have 3 prep choices--fried, blackened and sauteed. We don't care for the fried, but the blackened is great and the sauteed (butter and garlic) is absolutely amazing. Served with nice mixed vegetables and... More

While staying at the Laughing Horse Lodge, (awesome place btw), Candy (awesome manager of awesome place) suggested we dine (hmmmm) at Kodys. It is definitely a local hangout and food is great. Do not expect atmosphere, it is a dive but clean as a pin. You order food at the bar, and your drinks, you get a number and someone... More

By the look of the place I wasn't expecting much, but had read some good reviews so off we went. Ordered the garlic fish lunch special at the counter, seated ourselves and soon the meal was delivered to our table piping hot and delicious. The atmosphere of the place was non-existent but honestly the food was really good. Perfectly prepared,... More

We went to Kody's because it was late when we got into town and we were hungery. When we first entered the restaurant we were a little taken aback because it is so dark and looks more like a bar than a restaurant. We both ordered shrimp and loved it. The shrimp were large and fresh with a great breading.... More

We like to go to Kodys fro prime rib night. Get there early so you don't miss it. It's a fun place to visit and if you have kids they have a decent menu for them as well.

Perhaps we went during a "bad" time and our experience was not typical but when we ate there the attitude of the bartender in particular was rude, short, and acted as if we were a bother. Food was average. Nothing special. In fact the crab cake I oredered was served cold and tasted fishy. We had way better during our... More
