Rodie's Place CLAIMED

Noticed Rodie's when going to Washington Oaks a while ago but it was busy so thought we'd try again this morning for breakfast. Got there early and a table people started to arrive. Everyone inside is very friendly and welcoming but they have a couple of old systems we didn't like such as paying at the counter, which I'm sure wouldn't work well for the server's tips. However, they have some specialty items on the menu that sounded interesting so I had the Eggs Benedict that uses cauliflower bread and crab cakes, which actually worked very well and was quite tasty. My partner had the sausage and gravy and said it was just OK, but he did really like the side of spicy grits. It definitely makes a change from the usual breakfast options in Palm Coast but somewhere I'd visit too often.

Sitting outside was lovely and service was outstanding. Our breakfasts were well prepared and delicious. They make a superb quiche and wonderful pancakes. Prices and quality on par.

The Rodie Egg Benedict was an interesting twist on the classic dish but worked very well. Bit pricey at $14 but tasted excellent. Very much a low country feel inside with hospitable staff. Would like to try for lunch one day as their sandwiches sounded good.

Roadies did not impress. We had lunch there. Over-priced and small portions . Small coffee was almost $4.00. Wait staff made us feel like we were doing them a favor by being there.
