What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rodie's Restaurant & Pancake House offers a cozy dining experience with generally well-received, generous breakfast dishes. While many praise the attentive service and homestyle atmosphere, some reviews point to inconsistency in food quality, particularly with certain cheese and hash brown preparations. The restaurant is a popular spot, especially on weekends, and is known for accommodating gluten-free requests.
"Super busy when we got there! We've been here before but I forgot to do my review. (Sorry.) The food here is SO good. Fresh, hot, made to order. Service is EXCELLENT!!! Our server was SO helpful. She brought me a sample of their chicken salad (which was awesome) and changed my diet Pepsi to sweet tea. She never once lost her smile. SUPER nice and attentive. We wanna try breakfast next time. Everybody seemed to have breakfast, so that's next! So, if you are in the area, you need to give them a try! I'm CERTAIN you will NOT regret it!!!"

"I gave it four stars because my friend loved his vegetarian skillet. I had the egg benedict with turkey and it was flavorless. The hollandaise sauce was bland. The side of grits was very watery. I was disappointed overall. The service and atmosphere were very good."
Alan Brown
