So, we have a tendency to look for those places that have great food and a good vibe. Well, we weren't disappointed. Just reading the menu was mouthwatering. So off we went with a hunger for good food and a place that felt comfortable. Rhody's is all about it. We enjoyed the Saturday Night Special. The full rack of ribs, coleslaw, and garlic mashed potatoes. This was after a trip to the salad bar for a nice selection of greens and salads like 3-bean, pea, macaroni, and potato. And a beef and egg noodle soup. The whole dinner was so good. The dessert options were a bit limited as they had ran out of certain pies. None the less we went with a cherry crumble with whipped cream. It was so delicious. The whipped cream was freshly made. The service was excellent. Tasha and our servers were friendly and prompt with our drinks and helpful with our selection. The atmosphere is nice and casual. Overall, it was nice to see that you can find places like this.
Great food.Loved the atmosphere and some retro decor.Highly recommend.
Wonderful place.. Great food, quick service, and staff very friendly. The young daughter of the owner brought us water and even entertained us with a tap dance. I would highly recommend it. Thanks for the lovely service
An all time favorite place when I am in the area! You won’t be disappointed. Great food, friendly people, and a great place to host a big or small party!
January 24th, the wife wanted a burger so we stopped after 4pm to find an empty bar and a limited “deep fried menu” until 5pm so the wife had a pork “T” (I should have had one too) and I got the kickin chicken which was ok (not a breast but pressed). Fries were awesome and so was the blueberry cheesecake and coconut cream pie. So for a complete menu including the burgers come after 5pm and by the time we left the place was filling up
We recently rented the back room for our anniversary party. Food was fantastic and the staff and service you won't find better elsewhere. All of our guests were so impressed, loved the food, and how attentive the staff was. My husband and I were able to just enjoy the party. They took care of everything!
Melissa was our server and daughter to the nice lady who owns this place. And she was fabulous. She also makes all of the pies. Which caught me off guard cause they were so good you would think only a sweet old lady could make something that good. I'm a big fan of Rhodys. Possibly gunna be my next tattoo! ;)
I stop in usually on weekends and typically have a cheeseburger. I'd just like to say, AMAZING food! And the pies are amazing! I swear my burgers are ALWAYS perfect! Very clean, aswell!
