Cody’s Opens On S.R. 54 & Pinchers Is Coming Soon
By Gary Nager
It seems to have taken a while, but the new Cody’s Original Roadhouse, located in the former location of Remington’s Steakhouse at 27405 Wesley Chapel Blvd. (S.R. 54), did open to the public earlier this month, with the same reasonably priced steaks and more (and lots of peanuts) as the other Cody’s locations around the Tampa Bay area. For info about Cody’s, call 513-9200.
Speaking of new eateries, Pinchers Crab Shack will open within a few weeks (perhaps in time for the Freedom Festival on Thursday, July 3; see page 1) in the former location of the Aja night club in the Shops at Wiregrass mall. Aja fans won’t recognize the place, but fresh seafood fans (like yours truly) are excited that Pinchers is getting close to opening. Visit PinchersCrabShack.com or TheShopsatWiregrass.com.
