Dodge's Southern Style - Gulfport

"For more than 40 years, i used to deliver produce to over 100 restaurants on the Mississippi gulf coast. Every now and then, when I made, deliveries, I would see unsanitary things, in some of the restaurants that I delivered to! Not all of them was unsanitary, for the most part, a lot of my customers really went out of the way to keep things clean and sanitary! I live about 20 miles from dodges Southern style, 25th Ave., in Gulfport Mississippi so I don’t make it down that way too often, but tonight I stopped in to buy a cigar, And I was absolutely in disbelief at what I saw on the southside, Of the building , in and on the window panes, and what was showing behind the drink stations! I have seen some crazy unsanitary things over the 40 years that I delivered to restaurants But what I saw tonight, most definitely blew my mind! There is, absolutely not one excuse that can be used to explain what I saw! It is there for God and everybody to see it! the pictures that I took proves that this has been that way for quite a long time! It appears that it hasn’t been cleaned sense The first day that they opened! I can’t believe that someone hasn’t complained about this before now! I can’t believe that the health department has never seen this! This just didn’t happen last week! I must say, that I have seen dumpsters cleaner and more sanitary than what is behind the drink machines! The dust is an inch thick on the machines, and the black stuff that you see in the pictures, is black, mold! And we wonder why we all walk around sick all the time! Well take a good look at the pictures that I have posted and decide for yourself! Kind of makes me wonder what the inside of the machines look like? Coffee machine, ice, machine, and the fountain drink machine! Be sure and go sign up for the beverage. All you can drink each month club ! Yummy, yummy! Get you some of them tater logs while you’re at it! This is a case of just don’t give a damn! JIMMY MCNEELY"

"I’m a 74 year old Vietnam war veteran man I always stop by this place to get food . it’s pretty good when it’s fresh . Although the place is in a bad location of town the African American tall gentleman security guard that wears the mask I forgot his name but he always make sure I’m safe while I’m there and helps me while I’m leaving such a wonderful spirit young man may god bless him Thanks again for your service sir"

"Cashier was very nice. I ask if me and my kids could sit and eat, she said sure... while eating the security guard stood over us for about 5 min and when I thought he left look out the window he was peeping in at us. I told my kids to throw away the uneaten chicken and let's go. I will never eat there again."

"First time visitor, wanted to grab some fried chicken to take home for dinner. At first, walking by the outside of the building, looked very nice, lots of signage advertising various meals and combos and $.79 drinks. Walked in, initially a little disappointed by a sign near the fountain cups saying out of large lids, so we kept heading towards the fountain dispenser, more like trying to keep from sticking to the floor. Was pretty unsatisfactory kept. Then to add, no lids at all for any fountain drinks, so we opted out of them, and decided to get just the fried chicken. The line was about 6-7 deep, with two cashiers, moving decently. We got to the cashier and said that we wanted the 10 piece fried chicken advertised on the outside windows. You would have thought we tried to order a nuclear reactor. She had no idea what we were asking for. We had to point to the sign on the window behind the registers showing the product, she said she didn't know how to ring that up, and we would have to go to the other cashier, by then there were 3-4 people still in the line for cashiers, we asked her if we had to get back in line, and she responded that she could do it, but had to get instructions from the other cashier. Well, after getting rung up, she was very nice and asked us the type of chicken pieces we would like, we said we didn't care. Rolled out. Said to ourselves this was the first and prolly last time in Dodges. Then we got home to eat the chicken. Whoa! Probably the worst fried chicken I've ever had. Dried out, little meat, and super thick breading. Well, that's one place to check off the list."
