For along time, Cody's was the standby if you wanted to go somewhere decent to eat in Mattoon. The quality of food and service has gone down over the years and we don't go there anymore unless it has been for a party hosted there (work has held Christmas parties there for years). Stadium Grill is a much better choice... More

Took my daughter here for a dinner yesterday. Location was an old Bonanza building some 15 years ago. Interior was comfy. Food was reasonably priced. Service was excellent. Reminded me of a Texas Roadhouse atmosphere. Free peanuts, rolls with cinammon butter...Since I like Texas Roadhouse, I thought this place was good.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff. Great service and the food is above average. Plenty of food for the money. Flavor is good and you get peanuts before the meal in true roadhouse fashion. Good BBQ and fresh cut steaks. Side dishes were good. Good location and nice place to eat. Family friendly, something for all ages.

Think Logan's or Texas Roadhouse. Nice atmosphere, if you like that kind of decor. Food is decent - ok, good. But nothing out of the ordinary for one if these places. Good bbq chicken. Warm wet towels are a nice touch to get your hands cleaned off without running to the restroom. Service was outstanding.

Probably one of the better places in town to eat, but very typical steak-house priced place, nothing to die for by any stretch. The Mexican place a few blocks west is far better and cheaper too

Walked over from Super 8 as I was tired. Nice waitress, and large drafts on special in a fun atmosphere. I added a salad after I ordered and the waitress brought it right out so I could enjoy before my meal. Unfortunately the food was a real disappointment. The smashed potatoes were cold, not luke warm but cold. The steak... More

This was a nice roadhouse with friendly staff and bounteous meals! If you like bbq chicken, baked beans, oven baked bread, and yes, grits, this is a nice place to stop with kids. It is not gourmet, but it is good home cooked food. Peanuts in a can are the first course. We were too full for dessert but they... More

Food: average. Service: average. Ambiance: average. Value: average. Cody's doesn't have much to recommend it, but not much reason to stay away, either. We were staying in the area, it was convenient, and since we'd eaten there before, we knew what we'd find. I had lunch there with a friend, and then dinner with the husband the next day. This...

This place is ok, I would return, it's just not fantastic. The food is good, the wait staff is ok. Just nothing super spectacular about the place.

I like the atmosphere, food and price. The Cody Big Chop is super. The Bourbon St steak is really good. The burgers are good. Full Acre salad is usually good but the last time it had been made for a while and put in a refrigerator. I could tell because the lettuce on the bottom was frozen . They have... More
