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.\t\n\t\nTheir venue in an older adaptive reuse of the original Gastonia High School gymnasium provides the only small charm that Rodi's exudes. \t\n\t\nThe quality of the food is well below average, very unimaginative and quite overpriced for what you get.

This place is amazing. If you're tired of the "fish camp" scene and truly desire a new dining experience - go to Rodi. The food is different, amazing, and EVERYTHING is delicious. They also have wonderful music events and just the most relaxing and classy atmosphere. A great place for a date, to relax with friends - even to treat yourself! ...read more

Rodi has wonderful food, great service, a funky atmosphere, and great music. The owner has a true love of music and is especially fond of local and regional artists.
