    Hawaiian Burger no onions
    Francisco R.

    Food was very good and flavorful, service was fast and friendly and it's a very clean place, over all a good experience

    Entrance
    Randa H.

    YES!! We'll continue to come to our Neighbor Spot!! Food is always 10/10 Service is always 10/10 you always have somewhere to seat if you choose to if not grab it and go! Plenty of seats inside and out, there's also plenty of parking. No long line and you can also call ahead if you know what you want.. Tge seat are always clean and they Even have infant chairs. Ramos in the front and back for easy access...

    Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger and French Fries
    Ricky G.

    A neighborhood Char-broiler spot that looks consistent and clean. Tasty burgers, seasoned fries (places like this sometimes don't) and the teriyaki sandwich was passable. Will likely spot by again if craving this specific burger craving! Parking was easy and seating outside and inside.

    Double Cheeseburger with 1000 Dressing on side
    Tamica J.

    The food delivery from Grub Hub arrived quickly. I underestimated this burger. I ordered the Double Cheeseburger. It was a lot! I couldn't finish it all. I ordered medium well and received it that way. Enjoyed it. If ever in the area, give them a try.

    My niece is in town and wanted to visit one of her childhood haunts. She was a bit disappointed that the original owner and long-term staff are no longer there but it's been years so it's to be expected. She missed the Greek influence in their food selection but ordered a pastrami sandwich and zucchini fries for us to share. Both were good but a bit on the greasy side. The ranch dressing that came with the zucchini fries was rich, creamy and tasty. Rod's offers comfort food directed at the younger generation (due to grease level ;) )

    This burger spot was highly recommended to us by a friend so I decided to try it out. Right off the bat, I can appreciate that they have lots of different options with fresh ingredients. They have sandwiches, salads, and the most standout thing for me is the zucchini fries. I don't think there's anything ground breaking about their burgers, I got a jr. burger and zucchini fries. But it did feel more on the healthier fresh side with the bun and patty not being too oily. But if I want a burger I would rather have it taste better with more flavorful sauces and a juicy patty. And the cheese wasn't super melty. Tasted like a backyard burger.

    Hamburger combo

    I usually get their Bacon and Eggs breakfast, which is very good, but today I got a Hamburger combo. The Hamburger was juicy and charred to perfection. The fries were crispy but just a little too much salt for my taste. Service was very friendly.

    The device was amazing and the chess was perfectly melted on top of a juicy burger. I remember coming here when I was little and will alway like this place

    COOK who throws old fries back into the hot oil to reheat to sell
    Ashlee D.

    Today, my husband and I came to purchase lunch for our family when I witnessed this cook throw some fresh fries on top of the old fries that were in the pan to dish out to us for our meals. I shared this with the girl at the counter because the guy was pretending to not understand English when I told him about it. However, he understood that I notice his poor food service tactic. This is the 2nd time that I have witnessed this cook doing this. The first time was on a different day I saw this cook take the old fries from the pan that had been sitting for who knows how long, and he put the old fries into the oil to reheat to put in our order. When I brought this to the attention of the lady at the counter, the other cook who did speak English told him that you can't do that. From a Health & Safety perspective, food should be served at the correct temperature, and not reheated back into hot oil. This guy should be fired because he is making poor decisions when it comes to food quality. We've been dining at Rod's since the Original owner Dino & Andy owned this place in 2000's and this new owner needs to ensure their cooks don't continue to diminish the name "Rod's" with serving food that isn't fresh. Please, do better!!

    Double Cheese Combo for the boy
    Toshi I.

    Since my son loves cheeseburgers, I wanted to go to a place we hadn't tried before. The boys ordered the burgers and I got the fish sandwich. Both were delicious and tasted fresh. Da Hubs said these were the best char burgers he's tried. As far as char goes, my son agrees. We've added this to our list of fave burger places. Funny thing is, when you first arrive, the counter is really close to the entrance. There's ample seating to the side and the place is very clean. Parking in the small lot.

    Double cheeseburger with fries
    Edward T.

    It's a solid place for burgers I got the double cheeseburger with fries and drink and it was delicious the fires were crispy and the burger was huge!

    My egg white omelette, bacon eggs and pancakes and a side of pancakes.

    First time here in over 10 years. This used to be our go to breakfast spot and for char broiled burgers. I read the mixed reviews so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I kept an open mind. I ordered an egg white omelette with easy cheese and it was delicious! The hash browns were solid too. We had a nice experience and the service provided was very good and genuinely friendly. Bottom line. Yes, the people have changed, the dining room has changed, the hash browns are different than what they were 10 years ago, BUT everything we ordered was delicious and the service was on-point. So we will be back. I am also eager to try my beloved double cheeseburger that was my prior carnivore favorite.

    What ranch dressing do you use? It's so good!

    We are glad that you like it, it is a basic recipe based on mayonnaise and butter milk, we make it every other day for more than 40 years, the Greek oregano that we mix in makes the difference.

The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling. Seasoned bacon, scrambled egg, onion, and mushroom added nice savoriness to the dish. The portions were sensible and the prices were reasonable. Very nice culinary experience.

Also I'm sorry about that one but he had a foul smell like he just finished working out... the table next to us was saying the same thing.

From the incredible waterfront views to the amazing food and outstanding service, it made for the perfect date night. We started with the clam chowder and crab cakes, which were both fantastic. For our entrées, we had the Linguini Del Mar and the Petite Filet (added a side of peppercorn sauce), and every single bite was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The highlight of the evening, though, was our server, Greg. He made us feel completely at home from the moment we sat down. His recommendations were spot on, he was attentive without ever being intrusive, and when my girlfriend got a little chilly on the patio, he even brought her a blanket without us having to ask. It's those thoughtful little touches that truly elevate an experience. As the sun began setting over the marina, Alison Brecht performed live acoustic music that created the most romantic atmosphere. She even took a couple requests, including mine and my girlfriend's favorite songs. Sitting outside by the fire table, enjoying an incredible meal while listening to live music and watching the boats in the harbor, felt like something out of a movie. It was the perfect backdrop for celebrating our anniversary. Sea Level exceeded every expectation we had. Between the outstanding food, exceptional service from Greg, beautiful waterfront views, and Alison Brecht's wonderful performance, this was one of the most memorable date nights we've had. We can't wait to celebrate here again. We will most definitely be back soon and could not recommend this lovely restaurant more if you're in the area !
