“ Apparently, Rodd's has been around for 35 years, this is my second visit in the last 4 years. It seems everyone around raves of this place. I had scrambled eggs over a biscuit and gravy, I didn't notice much or any sausage in the gravy. I also had their homemade corned beef hash, which was great and had onions. The prices were great, and the food tasted like grandma's or my Aunt Rhoda's, it made me feel right at home. The serving sizes were appropriate for the price, and I didn't walk out too stuffed. I enjoyed my breakfast and I'm looking forward to my next visit. ”
“ Great place to stop for breakfast if you are looking for an inexpensive and quick meal. The staff is friendly and the food is great. The turn around time on food is very short so not somewhere I would plan on spending a long time at. You pay your check at the front when done. ”
