Cody's Original Roadhouse - St. Petersburg
When you typically think of roadhouses, you'll get a vision of a surly Patrick Swayze bouncing unruly customers out of a dusty bar. But here at Cody's, they've transformed the concept into a family-friendly destination.

Children (under 10) accompanying adults eat free Monday and Tuesday; it's buy one fajita, get one free every Wednesday; every Thursday, customers get a discount on sirloin with all the "fixins'; and there are early-bird specials for all guests Monday through Saturday.
Menu highlights range from burgers and sandwiches to steaks, chops and ribs. It's important to note that Cody's steaks are hand cut daily on premises, seasoned and grilled to customers' liking. Each entree comes with a "bottomless" salad bowl.
