“I loved this place. The historic building, atmosphere, and surrounding area make this a first choice stop when you’re nearby. We ordered the fire roasted chicken, beef tenderloin sandwich, and shrimp po boy (the special of the day). The chicken had a TON of flavor and was cooked perfectly (which is very hard to do), the shrimp po boy was seasoned expertly, and although the beef tenderloin sandwich was delicious, we ordered it medium rare and got it close to well done (since it was tenderloin, it was still very tender but just a little bit dry), but it was seasoned well and excellent. We also had their famous onion rings, which were very good, but I wish they were slightly more crispy. I would go here again and again.“

“Food is better than good. Not great but I was satisfied and not disappointed. Service is great. We were escorted to available table right away. It was not crowded but a lot of diners for Sunday lunch around 1:30p. And we didnt wait long for our server. Older gentleman but very attentive and well verse about the menu. Food took a little longer to be serve not a big deal but its a bistro and our server explained ahead of time. Not complaining just observed a group of 2 couples on the bar way too loud most probably drunk too fast or drinking for awhile and its a smaller place and we were seated 2 tables away from them. I can only imagine the family seated beside them. Over all? We will come back.“

“First date night here in New Braunfels and this was a great spot! It was romantic, yet casual. The food was great, not life changing, but still. The shrimp cakes appetizer stole the show. I will definitely be back for those. Only thing I didn't like, is they don't offer drink specials inside. It's only outside. So you can get up, go outside and get the drink special, and bring it back to your table. Like why not just offer the specials inside too? Odd, but not enough to deter me from coming back. Try this place at least once!“

“Cody’s is hands down the best dining experience I have had since 2019! The food was incredible, offering classic French dishes, Japanese-fusion and divine steaks!Our waiter (Randolph) was incredible, very attentive and yet left us to simply enjoy ourselves as long as we wanted. A massive improvement from having been asked to leave after an hour and a half at other places! My husband and I got to enjoy true quality time together, talking about the next steps in our lives over a simply curated yet expertly crafted menu.Randolph purposely spaced out the different dishes we ordered so as not to overwhelm us with too many flavors at once. This wasn’t a brag, but a necessity! I’m telling you, every dish was insanely unique and well thought out! I’ve not had anything like it!Cody’s takes the top of my list for best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back and try everything Cody’s has to offer. Take advantage of this experience before they raise the prices! They are well worth it!Vegetarian options: Kabocha squash is mentioned thrice on the menu, as an appetizer, a salad and its own dish. I think I’ll have to try it next, but they also had at least 1 other appetizer and main dish that did not have meat.“

“Recently camped River Road and didn't get camp setup until after dark. We stopped at Koozies for drinks and a bite to eat just before close. Rather them be annoyed by our late show, they were more then accommodating. Amanda and their staff were nothing less then amazing while being hospitable at the same time. I cannot recommend this little spot enough. We will be frequenting this place every time we come back to River Road to camp. Thank you all again for a great experience!“

Fish had crunchy crust and was perfect- wife preferred that dish. Beef was tender and had amazing flavor- I preferred that dish. Either is a win!“

“Was out in new Braunfels for an event and was looking for a breakfast spot. We had to order take out because we were short on time. This place popped up in my search and had decent reviews so we gave it a try. The chicken and waffle was good and I was kinda skeptical on eggs but they tasted good. The potatoes were good as well. We got there before there was a crowd so it took about 15-20 mins to get food. Crowd started to show up as we were leaving. Everyone was friendly that worked here.“

My best description of the quality and flavor would be the Pappadeaux of pizza!! We will literally never order pizza or Italian from any where else local. The flavor from everything we ordered was out of this world good. Can’t wait to try the drinks for our next date night!“
