Cody's Original Roadhouse - Bradenton, American steakhouse in Bradenton, United States
Cody's Original Roadhouse is an American steakhouse in Bradenton that specializes in flame-broiled steaks, slow-roasted prime rib, and baby back ribs served in large portions. The interior features rustic wood design with sports broadcasts on television and country-themed decorations throughout the dining space.
The establishment opened in 1994, following the tradition of family-style roadhouses that emerged along American highways during the 1950s. This type of restaurant grew out of the need for dining stops that served travelers and truckers on long routes.
The roadhouse keeps the tradition of cracking peanuts while waiting, a casual dining custom found across American steakhouses and diners. The decor and country music create an unpretentious, welcoming setting where guests enjoy a relaxed meal together.
The restaurant sits on Cortez Road West and opens daily in the afternoon through evening hours, with a phone line for advance orders. During busy times, seating may require a short wait, so calling ahead helps plan your visit better.
The restaurant bakes its own roadhouse rolls with cinnamon butter and pairs them with bottomless salad bars at affordable prices. These homemade touches set it apart from large chain restaurants and give diners more value for their money.
