Visited here a few months back and was super-impressed! So delicious food and wonderful service. Such a great small-town place for just one person or the whole family. Will certainly come back the next time I'm in town!

Wow this place is great. I came here to eat with my son. He really enjoyed the soup! Unfortunately while eating I had an "accident" which spilled down my pant legs and onto the floor. Fortunately a staff member was willing take one for the team and took a bite for me. Thank you odies!

I'm always looking for a review that actually tells you something. Not just, food was good! Polite staff... you know what I mean.... So, here we go. We were greeted when we walked in the door! Wow! Friendly and very attentive staff. They have a good selection of beer on tap including IPA's. Nice and cold in a chilled true pint. Bravo! We ordered the "All you can eat shrimp" and Tenderloin. The shrimp is butterflied and nicely breaded. Comes with fries and coleslaw. I try to stay away from fried food, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not greasy at all. The shrimp was perfect. Flavor, texture and presentation. They serve in tin pie plates, which I found as a nice change from the typical plastic baskets with a paper liner beneath. My husband ordered the tenderloin. In his opinion, the best he's had anywhere (with the exception of my own hand breaded pork loin)... The service was exceptional. Skylar was prompt in seeing that our drinks were filled and the shrimp kept a coming. We left, comfortably full. And not to forget...Karaoke every other Friday with Mike! And he starts up at 7pm. We will definitely go back. Odie's is easy to find and only about 10-15 minutes from Cedar Rapids.
