Rodney's

You have to stop at Rodney's when in or near Wilcox, AZ. On our road trip back from Tucson we Googled and found this place as a suggestion. Great choice. Cheap delicious home cooked food. We paid 26 dollars for 5 people with drinks included. My BBQ with beans was delicious. Chili dod was also good. Make sure to stop here. Rodney's was a perfect spot for us.

If you have ever used the term "hole-in-the-wall" to describe a restaurant, bar, or store, you'll understand what it truly means once you eat at Rodney's. We met Rodney the day we stopped in to have some of his famous catfish and Cajun food and he was kind enough to give us a tour of the whole 250 square feet. We sat in the back courtyard and enjoyed our meal under the shade trees that beautifully provide a cool place in a hot town. Rodney has carved out a niche for himself in another way by offering tasty food comes from his home state in Lousiana. Where else can you get Gumbo like mother used to make?

Permanently Closed. *He said, "He was going to go fishing...since his place is closed down." *He said, The owners wouldn't renew his lease. *He's all moved out, and lives down the street, at Ditzy Dames. Look for the old, white cadillac. (I added the photo, August 1st, 2021.) *🍕🥞🍔🍨🍦☕ An alternative suggestion: Since my wife & I cannot go to Rodney's, We go to the Road Runner Cafe, at the (Willcox) KOA, for Breakfast, Lunch, /or Dinner. It is a Great food and dining experience, for a reasonable price. 😃👍🌞And, the managers (a young couple from New York, who know how food Should be made), are very pleasant, friendly, and appreciative people.

This place is really a gem. So glad we stumbled upon it! Prices were pretty low, food was awesome! The bbq was delicious, the gumbo was amazing! My daughter got the catfish and cleaned her plate. The atmosphere is a little off-beat.. but not bad... It feels a lot like having a picnic in a friends back yard. We had some bees harass us for our sodas, but it was a really great meal. My family of 5 ate large meals all for under $40

The food was good but it was clear that it was the end of the day. Our beans were burnt with little burnt bits from the bottom of the pot and our rice was half crunchy and half mushy. The green beans tasted as if they were canned but had some decent seasoning on them. The thing that saved it from a 2 Star was the fish with the creole sauce. It had good flavor and the fish was cooked well.

Rodney, the owner, was a really nice guy...and it was one of the only independent restaurants in Willcox that was open. Its definitely a no frills place and even tho it says "patio and beer garden", apparently there hasn't been beer for about 5 years. The menu is limited and all come with the same side dishes. My husband had the ribs...they weren't on the bone but the meat was really tender. I had the Shrimp Creole which left a lot to be desired. There was a nice communal feel with the two other couples eating there...all at the same table. Overall, there was good and not so good. Would go back if, again, it was the only place open besides fast food or pizza hut.
