I have eaten here in the past, but this time the food was fair. The waitress was slow checking on us for coffee. I guess it was just not a good day. Maybe next time it will be better.

Unique atmosphere, friendly staff. The food is good but a little on the greasy side

If had been a while since we had been to Cedars. We have always felt right at home there and always had a really good experience until we didn't. We were there for 20 minutes and we were told they didn't have Pepsi, no big deal. A Dr. Pepper would do the trick. That was it. No one ever came back. When we said something about it, the same lady who was super hateful about no longer having Pepsi products proceeded to let us have it. She was extremely rude. We have spent many years and a lot of money there, it is sad to say good-bye.

I'd say 3.5. And that's solid. Nothing to be ashamed of at all - but also nothing to write home about, ykno? This place seemed like it would have a lot of regulars, who order the same thing week after week, and they get it. And that is just fine. Dependable, good cooking, and the prices are not terrible. What you see is what you get. And these days, that is kinda nice.

Never judge a book by its cover. We weren't sure how the food an service would be as the outside was a bit dated. But boy were we surprised and so glad we stopped. The food was excellent. Really surprised at how good the chicken and dumplings were and the customer service was EXCELLENT. I don't blame establishments for not doing updates with this "Brandon Made Inflation". But this place made up for it with great food an service we will definitely be coming back! Oh and VERY fair pricing another pleasent surprise.

Good food, nice place for the age of it. Great service...

Hand breaded chicken fried steak is delicious! 7 of us ate for $66 plus tip. Service was fast and friendly. Portions are huge!

This is an average restaurant with basic menu items. The place needs money invested back into the restaurant's booths as the one we sat at was repaired with duct tape. Service quality is poor as these dirty tables take a long time to get wiped down as it is hard to even find a clean table to eat at. I must say the breaded mushrooms are the best in town. I go there for the mountain of deep friend mushrooms! No other food required. It is an old established restaurant and I hope they update the booths.

This place was phenomenally excellent. The food was all home cooked. Our waitress was very polite and sweet. The food reminded me of how my grandma cooked. Me and my wife will definitely be back foe breakfast.

Great found. The Cedar hash browns are amazing
