Came here for a date night and after years of coming here it'll definitely be the last:( The last few times we were here we had not so great experiences, but this last one was the worst. We sat right at the bar, took ~7 minutes for someone to greet us, the bartender took one appetizer order and walked away before I could finish ordering the other dish we wanted. Never asked us about our main course, finally had to wave her down to get our order in. The burger we ordered was ordered MW, came out extremely pink. At one point the bartender took my husbands glass away and dumped it, not even asking if he wanted another drink. When she finally asked, she took my drink, which had muddled up blueberries in it, and put his vodka soda drink in there (it was gross). I tried telling her it was the wrong glass and I got interrupted. Then she made me a second one without even asking. We had to ask for everything like silverware, napkins, ketchup. They were touching everyone's dirty dishes, then proceeding to touch ice, straws, and the fruit garnishes without washing hands.
Overall it seemed the staff that night was not in a good mood, not at all attentive, and were not happy to be there. Our appetizers and my food was really good, that was the only good part.

Not open
Restaurant was a newer looking place on highway 38 and had a pretty cool looking atmosphere! The service from our older waitress we had was very good. She just didn’t make any notes and would forget more of the more special things we wanted. She gave my daughter the wrong pop. Forgot our friends silverware and we requested some a1 and it never came. The food though also was not very good. I had the fried shrimp and steak combo and it came with some very salty cooked corn vegetables. The baked potato was uncooked in the center. Definitely was microwaved. The steak I had and my wife’s prime rib were cold. Finally, my draft beer had no foam on the top and tasted stale and I had to order bottled beer instead. Overall, I gave it 3 stars and won’t be back.

took over a hour for our food to come and when it did it was cold we saw a lot of people get there food before us just terrible service
Decided to celebrate my BD today with a tasty meal at Cedar Creek Grill. I was not disappointed, the food, service and atmosphere was very good. Derek was friendly and on top of his service, food came fast, hot and drink refills without asking. Menu was reduced as well as the hours the restaurant is open, unfortunately, to prevent food waste with lower attendance. This is our fourth visit and we have had a good experience every time. We will continue to support this fine restaurant knowing it has the potential to flourish.
Every time we come here the service is not great. We understand that it can get busy, however that is never an excuse for the terrible service we received tonight. To start off, we placed a to go order when ordering our food and asked that it be placed when we received our food. After waiting an hour the “to go” order was the first thing ready. It was called out at the window and our server said it was supposed to be done after the dine in meals. It then sat on a warmer and was brought out with the rest of the order 10 minutes later. During the hour+ of waiting, we were not checked on once until we got our food. One of our meals were fine but the other two were bad. For one of the meals, the noodles were hard and undercooked and the Alfredo sauce was the constancy of water and had no flavor. Our other meal was supposed to be a plain hamburger but our server said “I know she doesn’t like the vegetables, but I’m too lazy to pick them off”. That “to go” meal ended up sitting for close to an hour and a half. It would have been no big deal with the burger being made incorrectly, if it wouldn’t have sat for as long as it did. Neither of these two meals were even half eaten. After the one decent meal was eaten, one of the table runners took our plates. After another half hour of servers walking past and not being checked on, I finally went up and asked for our check and ended up waiting another ten minutes for it. After receiving the bill they walked away before I could even hand them my card that was already out. Another 10 minutes went by and I had to ask a table runner to take the bill. At this point I was very frustrated and had asked politely for a meal to be comped. When my card was finally brought back, our server put it on the table and walked away without apologizing. At this time, I saw we only received $5 off the bill. Overall, our experience wouldn’t have been nearly as bad if they would have put in the effort to at least check on us.

We went for Friday night fish and shrimp fry dinner. It was SO good! We had a waitress named Sheila that was so kind, we enjoyed her company very much. Make sure you order their au gratin potatoes for a side. Heavenly!!
Kid-friendliness: The bar is separate from the dining room.
Wheelchair accessibility: This is a one level establishment. Parking for accessibility is right at the door.

This is one of the few places in town where I can't decide what to order because so many things are good. I always order one thing and then pick out what I'll get next time. If I could eat two meals, I probably would...but I can't even finish one order of the Friday all-you-can-eat fish and shrimp special, which is so disappointing!

My wife and I dined here for dinner, during a yearly trip from California, in late August. This was our first time here but we will certainly be back again next year.They were busy when we arrived, and we didn't have a reservation, but Kristi found there was a no show, and we took it. I have to say that "KRISTI" was an absolute delight to have as our waitress. We had such a good time interacting with her that evening! It really made our dinner special. Thank you Kristi!!The food was excellent and the portions were very generous so it was everything that we had hoped for.I know I've read negative reviews for Cedar Creek but that was not our experience. Something to remember is that with the current state of affairs, almost every place has some sort of shortage. It might be a shortage with the wait staff, kitchen help, and cooks etc. and sometimes the people doing those jobs may not have as much experience as we would normally expect. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is right now so try to be patient.It's always easy to be critical when we don't get the food or service we are expecting. But also don't forget to compliment and tip when it is deserved.

All excellent, but the chairs were about an inch too short. Not super comfortable for a tall person.
