I've had mixed experiences at Hodge's. My first time, I had a great meal and great service. However, I'm starting to think that was because it was a weekday and not super packed.
My next experience was on a Friday evening and I wasn't impressed with any of it. It wasn't bad but wasn't anything spectacular either. Additionally for what you're getting I didn't necessarily think it was worth the price.
If friends wanted to go back to this place, I'd join them but probably keep my eating to a minimum.
