Food was okay, nothing too special. There was a decent selection of beer (bottle and draft) however my date's beer was quite flat. The bartender, i believe Chris was his name, was a bit condescending and annoying, with a "witty" remark for every situation.
Other than the obnoxious bartender, the waitstaff was great especially the bald cutie with glasses!
Overall nice bar with good TVs and a pool table.
I think it's high time to upgrade my review of Cody's. Â I've been in this pub several times since my review and have really grown to love the place. Â The food has been consistent (my personal faves are the open faced hot sandwiches). Â The draughts are constantly rotating with all good brews. Â The staff has been very nice and on the ball every time. Â Shout outs to Chris and Lindsey behind the bar, they will take care of you if you stop in, guaranteed. Â It's my newest favorite now.
Review Source:I recently had the chance to visit Cody's again with my wife and some friends after a long absence. At the door I was greeted politely by the bartender who showed us to a table and offered to bring a seat for our baby. The waitress arrived quickly and introduced herself and let us know the specials. While we looked at the menu I noticed the bartender wandering around the room making sure everyone was all set and pleased with their meals. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely.
This may seem silly to make note of but one thing I was very pleased with was the size of the booths at Cody's. I am not a small guy and often feel cramped at the establishments in the area. Not here though! Plenty of room!
We ordered wings and nacho's for appetizers along with our beers. The drafts were fresh and cold and the wings were excellent. The nacho's though - those were fantastic! I'm not certain but it tasted like Cody's must use a different type of chip then other places. Thicker and sweeter. It could have been the chili on the nacho's that gave it the sweet taste though. I wasn't 100% sure. What I was 100% sure of was that they were delicious!
Food arrived quickly and was exactly what we ordered. Everyone agreed that the food was top notch. Cody's may be a 'pub' but it was by far one of the best burgers I have had in a long time, Service throughout the entire meal was stellar and we left relaxed and stuffed.
Overall I would not hesitate to recommend Cody's if you are looking for a great place to go with your friends. The owner and staff clearly are interested in making sure customers get great food AND great service. If you stop in I highly recommend grabbing a Guinness and some Nacho's while you wait for your meal. You won't regret it!
I've gone to Cody's countless many times and have never had a bad meal there. I tend to gravitate towards the chicken tenders as they are large and juicy and not heavily battered, so you can actually taste the chicken, not just batter. I also often get the fried chicken salad which is the same tenders sliced up over a generous bed of greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, hard boiled egg shreds and cheese. More than enough for a meal. I also very much enjoy their onion rings... large plump onions with a light batter... never greasy. If you happen to get a couple of the end rings stuck together (more like an onion disc) you will be in heaven.
Decent beer selection (current area fave, Switchback, is on tap). Â Full bar. As some others have mentioned, the dining area is small. When the weather warms up and the back patio is open, it nearly doubles their seating. On busy nights you can expect to wait for a table, but usually not overly long.
Your length of stay might get cut short if you are seated at one of the few booths... the benches are unpadded wood, and if you are not a twenty-year old, you can get pretty sore sitting there for a while.
Cody's is a pretty good place. Want a beer or food? Stop on in! They will give you just that!
Cody's is a pretty nice local bar. The staff has always been friendly to me. I like to stop here with friends before a movie or just maybe a small get together. Its a great place for that. They offer tables and booths if you want to sit down with your own party.
The staff is pretty helpful. On a non-busy day you can sit your self as you walk in. They are very quick to some say hello and take a drink order! Then they follow up with any food order. Unless you know what you want of course!
The bar is very clean. They seem to always wipe down tables as people come and go. I have never sat down at a unclean table. This is a huge plus and can be hard to keep up with being a bar.
The food is pretty good. I have had turkey sandwiches and cajun chicken wraps here. Both are pretty good. Food always comes out nice and hot and they are good about the time. Even on busy nights such as a Saturday or Friday. The beer section is also pretty good! They have Switchback if you like to keep it local and even offer a lot of the bigger name brands. (Sams and Bud and so on..)
The prices are what you would expect being at a bar. Beer will run you $5.00+ and food is anywhere from $8.00 plus for a meal. Its fair.
Good 3/5! Avg bar in my book. Great for the Essex standard. Go check em out!
We were in the area for the weekend visiting a friend, and this is one of his favorite pubs in the area. The service was prompt and friendly, and they had a few local beers on tap. The food is kind of blah- typical pub food covered in cheese and made without much thought. However, the homemade salsa was awesome! There were a few beers on tap, but the one I tried was flat and our friend also got a flat beer. It does seem like a good place for locals to have a beer and watch a game though, lots of TV's.
Review Source:Decent spot for a beer, unless the Bartender w/a pony tail is working. I've lived across the street for 7yrs and always FORGET why this place SUCKS!! Ok, the Bruins are in the Stanely Cup Finals and blocked out, so we hit Cody's Pub. After the 1st 5mins in there I realized why I'd rather drink alone at home then give ANY1 there ANY MONEY.. The wait staff I had (every time I'm there) was terrible, most bartenders there follow suit. It's a shame because the food is good, prices reasonable and location is perfect for me (across the street), but SERVICE is in the TOILET!! I always leave at least 25% tip when there, but ask myself WHY when I leave.. I decided to stop going, shitty service NEVER deserves a tip, and I have plenty of others who will provide back up testimony.. Just ask..
Review Source:Good place to go after a movie. Family Friendly. Great food; nice servers and bartenders. Many pints and thirst quenchers. They have tables, booths, and bar seating. There is also a casino machine and an ATM They have a pool table. And my suggestion...try McGillicuddy's Burger and the wings!
Review Source:I like the food. It's nothing out of this world, just average. Â
My favorite bartender quit because the owner is a jerk to his staff. Â I hate that. Â He installed hidden cameras to keep an eye on them from his house. Â It's funny because the staff has been there for many years and it's like he doesn't trust them. Â We like to get martinis, but he told the bartenders to not fill up the drink to the top like they used to. We have been a regular for years, but when he started doing these type of things, we boycot Cody's and will drive into Burlington to spend out money there.
Cody's is a great little pub. Â My review is fairly detailed as I live close by and this is one of my favorite spots to hit when we don't feel like cooking.
If you're looking for an Irish pub that always plays Irish music and only hires staff with Irish accents, this isn't it.
What you can expect is great food, a great selection of beer & wine (recently given a major make-over), lots of locals, regulars, and people passing through town, and great service.
The family friendly environment is casual and you can expect to see all walks of life from business men/women in for lunch or a drink with colleagues after work, couples grabbing a snack before hitting the nearby movie theater, and families getting a quick bite to eat after school or camp during the summer. Â
The kids menu is very reasonable and even includes desert. Â During the warmer months you can get a seat outdoors on the patio while the kids play on the playground before their food comes.
The food is very good. Don't expect anything exceptional, but it is definitely on par with most pub food if not a bit better. Â Soups are fantastic, and made fresh daily. Â Their blue cheese dressing (also made fresh), is one of the best I have ever had and goes amazing with wings.
My menu favorites:
- Hot Corned Beef Sandwich
- Broiled Scallops (ask for extra roll to dip in the sauce, it's very good!)
- McGillicuddy's Burger (one of the better burgers in this area)
- Wings (Ask for them well done, with either mild or medium sauce on side, with blue cheese. If you like nice crispy wings and great blue cheese you won't be disappointed!). Â Note: Their hot sauce is MUCH hotter than most places. Â You may be better off with medium or even mild if you're not sure. I've seen a least a couple people unable to eat their hot wings even after the waiter warned them prior to ordering.
- Clam Chowder (ideally get it in the bread bowl - a meal in itself). Â
Tips:
- Even when busy, you can get seated pretty quick. Put your name in, grab a drink at the bar, and head outback to the pool table / video game area while you wait.
- If the place is really busy with a line waiting, don't be surprised if you can't get a booth when there are just two of you. The booths are quite large and it makes sense that they want to make the best use of their small space by seating people appropriately by the size of their party.
I was completely pleasantly surprised by Cody's. I had checked on here before, and saw that our experience may be somewhat mediocre, but it was 8:30 on a Sunday night and our options were limited.
We were one of the only tables taken, with a few patrons sitting at the bar. We received great service, which given our server's workload isn't surprising. He was funny and for the most part delivered.
We split in an order of the wings to start and asked for them medium which was perfect for my "hot" fearing friend, I could have gone hotter but even the medium had a nice kick. They were nice big wings, juicy and well-cooked. The homemade blue-cheese to come with was delicious, but we could have used more, but didn't really want to have to pay .49c for it.
We both had burgers as our main, mine came with fries and my friend upgraded to rings. Although they were not cooked properly to order - we both asked for medium rare, they were still juicy and delicious, they have a nice generous fat blend happening in these burgers. Â The buns were awesome, I'm a sucker for a good burger bun and these were perfect, absorbent, tasty, not too flaky or sweet like so many brioche-like options.
The fries were hand-cut and tasty, but a little limp. I bet when they were busier the fries would be better. The rings were awesome, big, crispy, I'd def upgrade to them!
All in all, a positive experience, especially for meeting my friend when she gets out of work on a Sunday night in Essex.
Cody's is a 5-star place every Sunday during superbowl season. Â 25 cent large delicious awesome wings. Â The only caution I'd throw out there is that the hot wings are at times EXTREMLY HOT. Â I love spicy food, and always get it as hot as I can, and I must say the last time I got hot wings there, they were overwhelming. Â The rest of their food is a notch above the average bar, but average pricing. Â 3-4 stars every day of the week outside of football sundays.
Review Source:This place is, as the 3-star rating implies, "A-OK." Servers aren't exceptionally friendly but they're not rude either. The food is fine. The beer selection is fine. So yeah -- A-OK. Â If you want some comfort pub food without having to cook, this is an A-OK place to go: your belly will leave pretty happy and your wallet won't be too much emptier. The atmosphere is very undistinguished, though. But it's A-OK for getting together with some friends over beer and food.
Of note, during football season, they have 25 cent wings on Sundays. Those are actually better than A-OK -- they're way better than what you'd expect from pub wings! They can be mild, medium, or hot, and each individual wing is pretty big.
One doesn't think of Irish Pubs when thinking of Vermont and this strip mall location (well hidden to protect it from view of those looking for the authentic Vermont experience) doesn't do much to change my mental list of places I'd go to seek out a taste of Dublin or Kilkarney and I can think of at least two places in Arizona that were more credible reproductions of the Irish pub experience. To be fair, it's a clean intimate room, the french onion soup was pretty tasty, but the salad reminded me too much of a low grade hotel salad bar. Fish and Chips were good but the beer of the week seemed to have been picked based on what they could a cheap keg of because the Brooklyn lager was both flat and skunky. Also kind of odd that the tv's had hockey, soccer and fake baseball but no Elite 8 that was going on at the time.
