Rodneys

After a very nice string of unusual spring days measuring in the near 70's in the sunshine, we decided to lay low in a nearby establishment called RODNEY'S.  Rodney's is located on Pacific Highway in the same building where Capone's used to be.  I must admit, Capone's had some bad ass pizza.  The owner/operator of Rodney's, did happen to mention that somewhere, buried deep in the bowels of his office, he may be able to find a copy of the pizza recipe.  We'll see.  But not being ones to hold our breath, we dug into the existent menu.  

Where Capone's was an Italian restaurant in the style of old Italy mixed with a rowdy bar room crowd, Rodney's has chosen the Steak and Eggs approach.  Breakfast is served each and every day, with daily specials chalked onto the board.  If you're an early riser, don't miss the breakfast, with your choice of skillets, omelet's, real hash browns home style, and service that's down home.

Dinners are heavy on protein.  Massive steaks sharing the plate with a baked potato and veggies, along with garlic bread, or corn bread.  Hamburgers to die for, and the prices are very reasonable.  

At the time of the recon, Rodney's Happy Hour menu was undergoing revision, and he assured us that by the date of our next meeting that the menu would be ready to go, with discounted well drinks, draught beers, and food specials from the kitchen.

The atmosphere had changed since Capone's.  The old Restaurant area was now the Bar, and the old Bar area was all tables.  Suits us!  The room wasn't too smoky, and windows let in a lot of light from the outside.

Each member of the Recon Squad felt a Rodney's to be worthy of a Club Meeting.
