I ate here with my girlfriend on August 16th, 2008 and fond the experience to be passable but nothing really worth repeating. We both ordered the house special charred sugar steak. Her cut of meat was at least twice the size of mine, and we have no idea why. The pieces of meat looked completely different. The steaks came with... more

I visited Rod's with a party of three on August 7, 2008. Each of us ordered Rod's "charred steak" ($20), but we were brought steaks of significantly different sizes. The smallest steak, which was very small, had not been trimmed of fat. The largest steak was thick on one side and tapered off to thin on the other. All of... more

We were told by a friend, it was the best place he every ate. What a mistake this place was. We all ordered Prime Rib. Worst Prime Rib of our life. Order Medium Rare and came Rare!!!!!. Waitress never came back to see if everything was okay and never checked to see if we wanted more cocktails. Very overpriced for... more

Stayed in Williams and was dissapointed one night, finding a place to eat wasnt so easy but Rods is a well known establishment.. well known for what i may ask after eating here. Was a party of 10 adults and out of 10 only 1 was said to be totally satisfactory although 3 or 4 of the steaks was ok... more
