Oh man, brunch at Restaurant Cedar was an absolute blast! From the moment I walked in, the place had this super cool and welcoming vibe with its stylish decor. And let me tell you, the food was on point – every dish was bursting with flavor and totally hit the spot. But the best part? Boozy Brunch drinks that were off-the-charts awesome! The staff was friendly and totally got our vibe, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a killer brunch spot with fantastic food and a great atmosphere, I can’t recommend Cedar enough – it’s a must-visit, and I’m already planning my next trip back!

We tried Cedar for the first time and it did not disappoint. The chicken and waffles with hot honey was the best I’ve ever had. The Hangover was a healthier option and very delicious. The drinks were also fabulous.

Finally made it here for an early lunch. Love the decor and the roll up garage doors. Limited bar but the house bloody was just spicy enough and the grapefruit bubbles was fun and refreshing. The food menu is also limited but there are tasty offerings. He loved his biscuit bowl with the optional goetta gravy. My Yucca Toast (where’s the yucca?) was a nice light meal. Good guacamole atop yummy Sixteen Bricks whole grain toast was garnished with salsa and pistachios. Different and good. Very fresh blueberries, red grapes, and pineapple made a nice side. Overall quite good; we’ll go back.

Delicious food. I had the burger and a friend had the chicken and waffles. The burger was pretty standard for brunch: medium cooked patty, fried egg, greens, a sweet savory jam, and Mayo. Delicious, but the fries were the winner here. Seasoned, crispy, fluffy inside. Couldn’t ask for better. The chicken and waffles were also a great choice. Bug fluffy waffle with crispy chicken and a warm (not spicy) sauce to add character. Delicious!

I was surprised and very impressed with the architecture and atmosphere inside. The food was top tier and the service as well. I definitely recommend the chicken and waffles! The chickens breading was thick and crumbly, perfectly cooked. The hot honey was spicy and sweet. I couldn’t help but to give myself a a stomach cramp bc I couldn’t just not finish it!

The food is delicious. The omlette, burger, and fries are good. The chicken and waffle was delightful. I was not a huge fan of the biscuits and gravy. The restaurant is extremely noisy so not a place for an intimate brunch.

This seems like for many a reliable brunch spot. It was packed on a Saturday morning. I ordered the berry french toast. My biggest complaint is that the menu says it’s challah – this was clearly not served with challah. It was square Texas toast style bread. Food was pretty good – a bit to salty. Which is not something I’ve ever had to say about French toast.

Great spot for brunch! The atmosphere inside was modern and bright with an outdoor patio for nice weather. Service was excellent. Our wait to be seated on a Saturday morning was about 45 minutes. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles with hot honey syrup and I ordered the filet and eggs with a side waffle. Our food was delicious! My steak was tender and cooked perfectly. We both agreed our food could have been a tad hotter, but we would return and order the same thing again.

This place is pretty fun. First, the space is really nice. It’s got lots of natural light and the tables don’t feel like they’re on top of each other. It is loud; but in a good way. The menu is one half food, and the other libations. We tried several of the cocktails, and none disappointed. I will mention that the devil’s bloody is insanely spicy. We also indulged in the chef’s special french toast (pictured), which was fabulous. Not too sweet. I had the steak and eggs (pictured), which were cooked perfectly, and remarkably tender.
