Cody’s brisket - West Richland (WA)

5 /5 Blake Nelson: Incredible experience overall. When I arrived, no host, no staff, no signage—just vibes. I briefly questioned whether I was committing a crime, but it turns out Cody’s Grill operates on a bold honor system model. Very progressive. Seating is open-concept and fluid. I sat where I felt spiritually called. The décor says “guy who owns a grill” and nothing more, which I respect. The self-serve element is truly next level. I grilled my own food, grabbed my own drink, and at one point considered Venmoing myself. Empowering. The chef never appeared, which added a mysterious, Michelin-adjacent energy. You can feel Cody watching from somewhere inside the house, trusting you to flip at the right time. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys great food, minimal supervision, and the faint thrill of trespassing. Five stars. Would accidentally host again.

4 /5 Ashley Garlick: Have tried a couple times. Menu seems to vary depending on the day, nothing was the same any of the times we went. Recommend carne asada and the brisket. Kid friendly for sure. Had to bring my own dessert both times and plastic forks for my meal once.

4 /5 David Richards: Food was good I definitely got bullied a bit, but I think it was worth it in the end. The cook was really funny looking but overall friendly. He also made me work for my meal in mechanical services.

5 /5 Camille Page: Cody’s Brisket — Legendary, Elusive, Possibly Mythical Cody smokes exquisite brisket and is a through-and-through carnivore to the bone… just not for the general public, which makes this the most exclusive brisket joint I’ve ever failed to eat at. There’s no signage, no menu, and no pit visible to outsiders—but don’t be fooled. This operation is so convincing it has attracted curious diners, confused delivery drivers, and even credit card applications for “Cody’s Brisket.” That’s when you know the meat game is strong.
