Cedar River Seafood Reviews
Love all the seafood entrees and the large selection of sides (one of the few restaurants in the area where you can get a baked potato). If you like clam chowder, you won’t find any better than here!
My wife and I had lunch here today. The food was wonderful, plentiful and appropriately priced. Our co-waitress was an absolutely fantastic young (emphasis on young) lady who did a great job taking care of us. We will definitely return and recommend this restaurant.
The special this evening was a shrimp or chicken quesadilla, and since I didn't need a huge meal I went for the chicken option. It didn't disappoint. Blackened (or fried, or grilled) chicken served with plenty of cheese on tortillas that were cooked perfectly. The pico de gallo was made fresh that day with vegetables from the farmers market in town, and it was flavorful with some heat from the jalapenos. My side of fried okra was also cooked perfectly. And yes, two hush puppies...read full review
Cedar River Seafood offers a variety of dishes, with particular praise for their fried shrimp, fried catfish, and crab cakes. The restaurant is known for its friendly service, large portions, and reasonable prices. Customers have recently highlighted their new favorite Mac n cheese and enjoyed the daily specials, like the $10 Shrimp and Grits, which are delicious and provide great value. The restaurant has received positive remarks for its cleanliness, including clean floors, tables, and dust-free AC diffusers. The special this evening was a shrimp or chicken quesadilla, and the chicken option did not disappoint, served with plenty of cheese on tortillas that were cooked perfectly. The pico de gallo was made fresh that day and was flavorful with some heat from the jalapenos. The side of fried okra was also cooked perfectly. The husband enjoyed fried shrimp with a side of mac and cheese, exceeding expectations with flavor and creaminess. Everything was hot and served promptly. Service was excellent, with the server letting customers know the pico had some heat. For basic, well-prepared seafood dishes in a booth and table setting, this restaurant is a good choice. However, some feedback mentions watery clam chowder, bland hush puppies, and issues like being forced to accept coleslaw as a side with no substitutions. While service has been excellent on some visits, there have been complaints about it being almost non-existent at times. One of the best customer services has been experienced from all the waitresses. The food came out quick and was good. Sides included watermelon. Overall, Cedar River Seafood continues to provide a mix of positive and negative dining experiences, with ample parking available.
