Cody's Gastro Garage — Restaurant in Springville

Let me begin by saying that the ONLY redeemable quality to this restaurant is the food. Assuming they have what you want. We went tonight. Out of 6 appetizers they had 3 available. We got the Omazing onion rings. (No. I didn’t mis-spell that ) Nothing to get excited about. Your standard beer battered onion rings. The food is acceptable. It most definitely didn’t live up to the name “Gastro”. On a side note. They were also out of their desserts, root beer and ice cream. Although, they were able to magically create an ice cream sandwich for another table . So it appears that it depends on who you are if you get the magical ice cream or the shaft. Now onto the “service”. I use that term in the loosest sense of the word. A young girl, probably around 10 was giving better service than our waitress. I asked if the raspberry lemonade was refillable, to which her response was yes. Now to be clear the lemonade is refillable, if you ever see the waitress come back to the table without having to flag her down. The waitress was completely disinterested and aloof. Suffice it to say the word “service” shouldn’t be used in this instance, as it the exact opposite. Finally, the atmosphere is kind of fun, however is made less enjoyable by the smoke from the grill that permeates the entire restaurant, not just the kitchen. It’s a small place so the noice level is already comparable to Texas roadhouse, who even at their quietest is ear splitting, put that noise level to that the small area… suffice it to say, it’s loud. Remember, it’s loud, so why not add loud music just to make the volume level completely unbearable. To summarize, if you’re looking for a place with an already somewhat limited menu, made even more limited by them being out of 25% of the items on it, where you can leave smelling like you worked the grill and then paid to do so, noise that makes you yell at the people at your table and really terrible “service “, then this is definitely the...

Atmosphere: ** It's a cool bike vibe with lots of pictures and accents on the walls. The music was great. Lots of awesome tunes.

Service: ** The lady was kind and nice and attentive. She was regularly checking in on us and making sure we were taken care of.

Food: ** Presentation: * The burgers we got looked great and we're presented in a double stack. One with the bottom bum with burger and the other with the toppings. The regular fries were the best part of my meal. They are served standing in a metal cage which is the best way to preserve crispness and heat.

Taste: * The sweet potato fries weren't fully cooked and soggy. Not a fan. My burger was bland and had no flavor. Relying on toppings for flavor is no way to run a burger business. Not a fan. I had to salt the burger quite a bit to give it any flavor. It was also made well done which is definitely not ideal. Ugh... The bacon on my burger was literally cold. They might have pulled it out of the fridge to put it on my burger. The regular fries were delicious. A small serving but delicious! They're what bumped the taste up from 2 to 3 stars.

Order accuracy: ** I butchered their signature burger getting it without all their special toppings and sauce. They ended up giving me toppings anyway and ruining the bun and lettuce with all the toppings they put on it. If I don't want something and I order it without that something, it means do not give it to me. #disappointed

Price: ** Food is overpriced for what you get. It's not tasty enough for me to ever want to come back.

I will not be returning there's much better burger places at this price range and...

Went for lunch. It wasn’t crowded when we got there so we got seated pretty quick. We were told right away that they were out of the shrimp, fish, and carne asada. Ordered a salad and the appetizer wings to split. The food came out fast. Our server was friendly. And that’s where the good stuff ends.

The wings were about as good as frozen bake at home wings. They were small wings. The sauce on them was good but the wings themselves were kind of disappointing.

The salad was ok. The lettuce seems like they poured it straight from the Dole lettuce mix bag that you get from the grocery store. It was supposed to have candied almonds on it but they were missing. Wanted to tell the server but he took forever to come back to the table. We had finished the wings and over half the salad by the time he returned. When we told him, he said “sorry about that, I’ll tell the cook.” And that was it.

We watched the lobby fill up with people lined out the door and eventually some left because they were taking forever to seat people.

The check came and our substandard food with a tip was just over $40.

I wanted to like this place. It looks cool and the menu looks good. But for the price and quality of what I got I’m not interested in going back. Some might say I need to try their (fill in the blank) but if you can’t make a salad and wings worth the price I don’t have much hope.

Looked at the website later and realized that the owner was seated in the dining room the whole time. He was either oblivious to what was going on or he didn’t care.

Maybe the food...
