I've given Rodi's several chances on many occasions to redeem their supposed standing as a good place to eat in Gastonia. Each time was an even larger disappointment and I have stopped trying - as of last month.
Their venue in an older adaptive reuse of the original Gastonia High School gymnasium provides the only small charm that Rodi's exudes.
The quality of the food is well below average, very unimaginative and quite overpriced for what you get. It does taste like it came out of a prepared freezer bag entree or can. Adding to the overall unpleasant experience are elderly hostesses and wait staff with poor customer service skills who always appear to be cold and impersonal and at times, even surly.
Such a shame that this place is so underutilized with bad foof and staff. It could be so much more.
