WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First of all want to thank Kim and Zane for a wonderful event put on here at the laidback. This was totally exciting for everyone invovled, all the hard work that went into this sure did pay off. We had alot of fun planning, and putting this event together. Hopefully we will be able to do this again next year, I think this should be done every year before the " RALLY". I would like to thank all the great people that came to this event , I met alot of great people here, thanks for all your patience with us bartenders. Remember our wonderful layout and hope to see you all again for the rally.... Debbie your inside bartender....July 29, 2009 9:08am

Just wanted to let you folks at the Laidback what a wonderful time my friends and I had during this years Rally on the River. I had such a good time the band Friday and Saturday night was wonderful and the atmosphere was electric. The only downside to the weekend was you guys ran out of Crown Saturday night but that’s alright I just switched to Patron. Keep up the awesome job I will be back again soon!!!

Hey Guys, just wanted to say we are soooo looking forward to Kickin' It Back at the Laidback at the Rally on The River! We always have such a good time there! The staff are very friendly and the food is GREAT! We belong to a biker group and have told all our friends about you guys there at the Laidback, and a bunch of us will be rolling in that way either Thursday evening or Friday morning! Get ready, 'cause we are ready to RUMBLE!

I have some really bad news to pass on. Bryan fielder was killed in a motorcycle accident on 6/8/08 in Lafayette La. He had just moved there a week earlier to start a new life. He really liked the Laidack, spoke highly of Rodney, Bobby, and Carlos and how they made him feel welcome even though he was there only the one time. He wanted to come back for the Ralley and he and I were looking forward to seeing everyone Bryan was like a brother and a son to me and I'm glad you had the honor and privilage to meet him.
Mike Sturgill, Ironton, OH - Tuesday June 10, 2008 5:17 PM
HEY RODNEY! B'DAY PARTY PICS ARE GREAT! LOOKIN' FORWARD TO ANOTHER GREAT SUMMER WITH YOU GUYS!
JON SNIDER, ASHLAND,KY - Sunday, April 20, 2008 10:26 PM
I really enjoyed the band "Straight Eight" this past week end. Anyone who missed them needs to get up and see them next weekend (April 25/26, 2008). I highly recommend anyone who has not been Layin' Out @ the Laidback in a while to get their selves in there. The food, The atmosphere and, the cold drinks are an excellent way to wind down after the daily grind.
Joshua Maggard, Franklin Furnace, Ohio - Tuesday, April 15, 2008 4:32 PM
OMG !!! I always have a great time at "The Laidback". Such a great group of people there. If you haven't been there yet, it's time you tried it !!!

Hello from the River Queen Saloon in Baytown, Texas. A customer of mine came in wearing your T-shirt. His name is Rubin, or nickname Rue Rue. He travels all around the world working construction and when he is in your town he comes to your place. He met a customer of yours, Pocahonta. He calls her Cherokee. I want to send her a River Queen T-Shirt and I would like to have one from your bar, size Large. Since Rubin won't be back to your place till April, I thought you might like to check out our web: Riverqueensaloon.com Hope to hear from you, your place looks alot like mine..........

I was at The Laidback on Saturday Aug.19 as part of the Rally on the River and it was just great. It is a great place to go to have a lot of fun and to see a lot of great bikes. I am looking forward to going next year. I missed the burn out pit this year but next year if I know when you have it I will not miss it. Thanks for a great time.
Mike Spurlock, Huntington, WV - Sunday, August 20, 2006 11:51 AM
Rodney: Thanks for letting us camp out at your place. Your friend Ed Ainsworth said you were a great guy and he was certainly right. It was nice to know that we had a place to stay for the night on our trip back from Tennessee in July. I had looked forward to stopping at your place for some time. It would be great to come and stay when you have one of your Rallys. Thanks again.

Rodney. You're doing a great job. You are maintaining the original Laidback atmosphere while adding your own very nice improvements. I've always been proud of The Laidback and that has not changed since you took over. Your hard work, enthusiasm and personality adds to the great place that it is. I'm proud to have you as the new owner of The Laidback Bar & Grill. Good luck my friend.
