A true hole in the wall bar. But the food was excellent. Called in a to go order. Had to call 3 times to get through. Staff was very pleasant. Reasonable 30 minute wait. Easy location to get to. There is good parking available. Building is in serious need of a power wash and some paint. Entry in was rather dingy with some sketchy stairs. There was a side entrance with a ramp. Bar is small inside with maybe 10 stools. Looked like maybe a few tables around the corner but I didn't venture over there. Inside definitely had an old bar perfume going for it. Had a wait before the single bartender arrived from the kitchen area. She was very sweet and had her hands full with pick up orders and new arrivals to the bar. She could have used some help. Made sure to tip her well. Based on that so far, rating would be about a 2. Food seriously elevated the review. Lamb salad was massive. Good quantity of iceberg without being all lettuce. Had the usual salad toppings plus melted cheese, hand cut fries and lamb. Asked for medium rare lamb and they delivered perfectly. Nice, big juicy chunks of lamb on the rod. The hand cut fries were still a bit crispy (25 minute drive home) but pillowy inside. Overall, excellent salad. Price was fabulous for the amount and quantity of food. With a generous tip, still less than my usual spot closer to me. Way more food and better at Cedar's, too. Shout out to my friend for recommending this place. Not somewhere I would have normally gone to without the rec. Will be back! But take out only because it's pretty dingy.
I've eaten here a few times today we got wings and their chicken over rice very delicious, asked for extra crispy wings and got them exactly how I wanted , staff is very nice they have great specials every day ! And pretty great prices and food in general
Good bar food...very filling for a decent price. We were in area when traveling to see family and decided to stop for dinner. Note to newcomers, walk in from the parking lot onto ramp. Atmosphere is very local bar...everything was quite clean. The special for the night were wings, and there are specials every night. We had the chopped sirloin sandwich and the angus burger. Both were very satisfying and came with a heap of French fries ( not crispy but tasty) servers hustled, lots of laughter and conversation in this local establishment.#
Cedars is a great spot for a beer and dinner or lunch. Have eaten here a few times with Linda, and we both love it. The service is great, ate in the dining room this time. Just so we could relax. I got the lamb and chicken dinner over rice. Linda got the Lamb Dish which has cheese melted into it. You can't go wrong with anything at Cedars, but we generally get the lamb because it's so good. You can eat at the bar too if you want. And they have a #### ton of draft beers, at a nice reasonable price. Never had anything but good service and delicious food every time we've been here. Highly recommend.
Excellent food. Great people. Hometown favorite especially for East Siders. Many good weekends!
Everything we got was very good. The chicken and greens sandwich!!! Delicious!!! I would eat here again!!!!
Cedars is always a solid choice. Almost everything on the menu is good. I've been here so many times and had pretty much everything. All I can say is it's a good place to go and meet with friends, grab a drink and get a bite to eat. Or even just get dinner or lunch with your significant other. I normally get the cedars special (double cheese burger on Syrian bread) or the Reuben. Their wings are very good. Also you can't go wrong with lamb or chicken on the rod with the garlic and pepper sauce. Like a said I could go on and on, you just gotta go there.
