This charming spot exudes a romantic ambiance, making it the perfect place for a cozy outing. You can choose to unwind outdoors or enjoy the inviting atmosphere inside, both equipped with ample seating options to match your mood. For those who prefer al fresco dining, there are TVs available, allowing you to soak in the vibe while catching a game. Plus, I couldn't resist the oversized sofa that looked incredibly inviting!
We dined here before heading out for the evening, and I opted for the chicken tenders with fries and Texas toast—I’m a sucker for anything served with that buttery goodness! The meal came with both ranch and country gravy for dipping, and let me tell you, the chicken tenders were outstanding—full of flavor and perfectly juicy. My companion enjoyed a delicious burger too!
The entire place is beautifully adorned with string lights, adding to the overall charm. With both an outdoor bar and an indoor area, it's a great spot for enjoying their impressive selection of beers. Our service was excellent, with friendly staff who made our experience even more enjoyable. Truly a delightful place to visit!

Great service, flavorful food, and daily specials. The food comes out hot and quick. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The only drawback was the flies but that is mainly due to how large the restaurant is.

First time visiting this place and I loved the vibe. Patio was nice and food was good. I ordered a turkey burger and loved the fries, probably the best fries I have had anywhere so far. The only downside is the parking. You either park on the street or pay valet because parking is limited. Other than that I had a good experience, good customer service, and food was served promptly. I recommend it

Nice outside seating, shaded and cool. Breakfast Tacos and crispy were good, and our coffees( americano and cubano) good too- but we'll ask for an extra shot next time. And we want to try the chilaquiles next time! Pup friendly patio :-)

Cedar Creek, a Cafe, Bar, and Grill, located at 1034 W 20th St, is a visually entertaining place to be seen. Being my 1st time here, it's a bit of a challenge to comprehend at first. I arrived at 4:45 pm and walked into the establishment through the front door. The place at first was dark, but just needed for my eyes to adjust. Being a cafe, bar, and grill, I didn't know what to expect at first. There was no hostess and no sign to indicate to help yourself to a seat. I walked further into the interior and found many tables reserved for a party group. After finding an open table, I sat down and waited for the wait staff. While waiting, I noticed that there were only 2 barmaids working the Bar. I also notice a couple of staff members running food orders to tables. Although several of these employees locked eyes with me, no one came to offer any service. After watching the crowd grow, I started to see the function on how this establishment runs. Thus, after 10 minutes of waiting, this is what I noticed. So for you first-timers, like myself, Grab a menu, wait in line at the bar, place your order (if ordering food, they'll give you a number on a stand), then find a seat. Sadly, I noticed that quite a few people would place their drink order, wait there at the bar for the drinks to be made and then stay there and drink their drinks; all while others are trying to place their own orders. Thus creating chaos, as some people were skipped over, who were waiting. I noticed others leaving, just because of no consistency in placing orders, in an organized manner. I don't know if they are short staffed, but when you have guests trying to figure out where the line starts or ends, where to place your order, etc... this shows poor management, organization skills. After I placed my order, I was rung up for my order and asked if I wanted to keep an "Open Tab?" I declined, so the bar made closed my order to be closed. Something I don't like is being asked for a tip on a receipt when you haven't even been served or provided any food. However to avoid this, you need to keep an open tab. After signing my receipt, I was again confused. I ordered a Fountain Drink to which I was not provided. The barmaid just kept moving on to the next customers. That's when I noticed the Wait Staffs Serving Station in the corner. As it turns out, the fountain drinks are self-served and on a paid, Honor System. Directly on the opposite side are the straws and condiments. As for my order, I had decided on the Thursday Night Special, which happens to be Steak Night. Sadly, neither on the board or the menu does it specify what it all curtails. So I had to ask, when placing my order. I was told that it consisted of: a 16 oz Steak with a Garlic Butter Sauce, Mashed Potatoes, and Asparagus, all for $27.°°. I also decided to order a side Salad. As far as salads go, the Side Salad was delicious. It had Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, shredded Carrots, and Red Onions, with your choice of Salad Dressing. The Mashed Potatoes were good, but I would have liked to have some Butter for it. So I used the Garlic Butter Sauce from the steak, for the Mashed Potatoes. Topped on the Mashed Potatoes was Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Bits. The Asparagus was perfectly cooked and flavored. The best I've had in a long time. As for the Steak... It was definitely not worth buying. It was a poor quality cut of Beef. The fat, I can live with, but the Gristle... Try and be discreet and nonchalant while spitting that into a napkin several times; with a room of people looking on. As for the rest of the place, it was lively and festive. Plenty of outdoor sitting on the Pet Friendly Patio to enjoy with friends, family and/or pets. Despite my overall 1st time experience in dining here, I will definitely come back to see if they have improved their organization and staffing issues, as well as try their regular menu items. As busy as it was, that definitely has something to say for this place.
