Both of our dinners were excellent. We will be going back for other selections.

The white fish is incredible!! Service is friendly!! You have to buy a bottle for a beverage and they don't have anything I can drink besides water, which is also bottled, so we mostly get it to go. It's always fresh and hot, so worth it!!! One of our very favorite places ! I must warn you that the white fish is addictive !

Wow. What an amazing lunch. So glad we stopped on our way through. The staff were great. Food came super fast and went down like a treat. This is a diamond restaurant, I’d give it 10 if I could. I had one of the bowels, my husband had the battered fish and shrimp basket. I did not get the chance to taste it! He loved it! Great menu, check out pics. Something for everyone!

Really nice staff. Very very extensive menu. Seafood, Asian, American and Italian with a lot of appetizers. If you need somewhere in the area that has everything then stop on in and get homemade spring rolls or pasta sauces

We drove an hour to come to this restaurant and it did not disappoint! When we ordered, they told us it would be our new favorite resturant and they were absolutely correct! We had the Gilligan Plate with coconut shrimp and onion rings and the Alfredo pasta with crispy chicken. It was absolutely incredible and we will be making the drive again. This is is one of the best restaurants in Southeast Tennessee.

Great food. Big portions. Everything I've ever had there is great and I've been going to them since day one when they were in the other location by the river. Will not disappoint! Yes they have outdoor seating but it's not table service it's a beautiful area where if you get it to go you can eat out there they do not serve you out there and if you got service you were lucky

We are back in Ducktown for a few days and of course visited Rod's for some great meals. This week we have had the Captain's platter with crab legs and fried green tomatoes. Our next meal was one of Rod's amazing sushi bowls and spring rolls. For lunch today, we had mushroom ravioli and pesto pasta. Tonight we are watching Tennessee game and eating delicious wings and chicken tenders from Rod's. Excellent food and friendly, amazing staff. We love Rod's and look forward to every trip from South Georgia to Ducktown!!
