OMGeeee! What good home cooked comfort food!! The fish and chicken were lightly breaded and so good. I am not a greens fan, but Rodney's greens alone are worth the trip to Waterloo!! Affordable prices. Top notch customer service. I can't wait to go back!!

My sister and I had the steak sandwich and fries.The meat was tender and seasoned perfectly. It was one of the best basket meals I have had! Will definitely go again!

The catfish basket is so good! The seasoning on the coating is delicious! Generous portions. So glad to be closer to the area to be able to be back and try other menu items.

Stopped in for lunch for the first time with my son from Werner Towing & Recovery. Great menu options that you won't see everywhere. I had the catfish basket and it was great. The potato salad reminded me of my grandmothers. My son had the double cheese burger. He was really impressed. Great meal for the price. We will definitely stop again.

We really enjoyed it. All our food was great. We had a group of 10 and he moved tables together for us. Being the only one working, he was very accommodating and quick with our food. Brisket burgers, shrimp po boys, and chicken strips were all enjoyed by our party.

I've tried to eat here multiple times and I guess I always catch him when he's catering. But finally got some tonight catfish is like a 12 on a scale of 1-10. That fried okra is a 11. The fries a 10. Potato salad maybe a 9. Huge portions didn't let down my expectations at all.

We were on a pretty long road trip when I found Rodney and holy smokes son, it hit, the girls loved it and the only thing I found troubling was he's a Patriots fan! Go Broncos!
