Jody's is a fantastic alternative to big chain fast food restaurants. Food is consistently good. Jody burgers are great and you can get them with an array of toppings. I don't care for their fries (I prefer crinkle cut) but their onion rings make a yummy side. Their strawberry shortcake is delicious when it's available. They often have special shake flavors that are good.
Thought it was an " old school" restaurant. Not exactly, you order at the counter & they bring it out. Our food was delicious-harvest salad, Jody burger w/hand dipped onion rings. All the food that came out looked delicious, including the desserts. The atmosphere was a little quiet for my taste.
The Harvest Salad is a perfectly balanced blend of fruits, veggies, nuts, meat, cheese. Along with the Raspberry Vineragette dressing. I have ordered it a few times and it is consistently superb!
Ate here a few times. The food is always good and is just what I needed for the evening after a long day. Would highly recommend eating here over the competitor nearby.
Also appreciate their dessert menu. Hits the spot after eating one of their burgers.
Jody's food was great and at decent pricing. The atmosphere was a little strange as it seems the restaurant is not sure if it is fine dining or fast food. Overall I would go again.
Very friendly staff and good food! Mac and cheese was really good. It was difficult to dine in with 2 toddlers because none of the tables had space for multiple high chairs.
Visiting a friend in Grand Rapids Michigan, he insisted on taking me out to Rockford to visit Jody's for their infamous strawberry shortcake.. and the restaurant didn't disappoint!
There were plenty of down-home favorites on the menu, reasonably priced, but we decided to go right for dessert........ The Strawberry and Raspberry Shortcakes have each won awards-- and now I know why! Absolutely delicious, with plenty of ice cream, fresh cake, and diced strawberries, it was the perfect replacement for dinner!
When in town -- or just want to support a Family-Owned Local Place-- stop by this delightful Home Style restaurant- there's something amazing for everyone.
Used the drive thru. Food was hot and delicious. And received quickly
We stopped there for dinner after Deer Park Junction. We had never eaten there before as we so not live in the area. The seevice and food was awesome. I would recomend this restaurant and would deffinatly return if I am in the area again.
The food is good. Employees are friendly. You do have to put your trash and dishes in the according receptacles, but it's nice to use real dishes and silverware. The owner is always around helping out. Comfortable casual atmosphere.
Great food! I ordered the Greek salad entre and it was the perfect size. Lots of lettuce and toppings with a good dressing with a realistic price. I’m interested to try other items off the menu.
good service and wide amont of food to choose from
dont Forget the ice cream
First time here, and we enjoyed it. Diner food. Sandwiches are a la cart (you'll have to pay for fries, etc).
We thought the onion rings were quite good. Fries and fried chicken sandwich are good too. However, the fried chicken sandwich was not a patty; it was 2 chicken tenders. I liked that the counter lady asked what I wanted on the sandwich - I didn't get stuck with a sneaky pickle to ruin the flavor.
My husband wasn't a fan of the mushroom melt.
What a wonderful little gem Rockford is lucky to have. Being my first time here I didn't know the menu, a very nice young man behind the counter greeted us. He was knowledgeable about the menu and questions I had about substitutes. The restaurant was clean and the food was tasty and reminded my husband and I of what good dinner food use to taste like. I had the chicken sandwich, onion rings made with light tasty batter. My husband had burger an fries and a we shared a warm delicious homemade gooey chocolate chip cookie. We live in Grand Rapids but we will definitely be back.
I really liked it overall and will definitely try it out again. A couple of issues with my food though, a piece of paper was in my hamburger, the little square that separates cheese slices. The tea tasted old and bitter, not freshly made. Finally, the pecan roll was very dry, but the taste was good.
The fries were fresh and the macaroni and cheese was pretty good too.
Fresh ingredients, crisp lettuce & onions. Burgers can be a bit sloppy, not that it's a negative. Chili dogs are deluxe & very good. Superb onion rings. Thick crisp fries. Everything we've had is made to order. They are detail oriented, seldom any mistakes, never a disaster or let down. Love the white fried chicken. Try the wet burrito! Wife & I get it routinely, I bet they would make pretty good tacos. Drive thru is worth wait. Indoor is nice, love the booths. 13 min drive or we're in Rockford for other reasons. Hopefully they extend their hours beyond 8pm in the future. Dual drive thru waiting lane when busy.
Best affordable place to eat in Rockford....food is awesome....raspberry and strawberry shortcake and cheesecake are the best
Had linch on he patio perfect in every way, no service lag,highly recommended the experience
