They saved the day! We had tried two restaurants prior to Rod's and couldn't get in. Came in and we were immediately seated. Staff was friendly, and the food was yummy.. The decor was a little tired, the seats were cracked and worn and the carpet had seen better days. But the salad bar was well stocked and the food was fresh. My husband had a gluten free pizza and he loved the crust. They have the seating capacity for small groups like us and large family groups as well. This is our second visit there, and we will make it a regular stop when we travel to Hot Springs.
