“Excellent food great atmosphere. I especially liked the Acoustic circle they put on Saturdays (when I’m available to make it.)”

“Cozy little cafe, friendly staff. Love it!”

“The food is delicious, the atmosphere is comfy, cozy and welcoming and we have been a handful of times and have never been disappointed with our service! We have had Kim as our server multiple times and she is so friendly, attentive and helpful! I absolutely recommend choosing Cedar and Main as your next stop!”

“The smoothies are awesome! They even offer a protein option! Good food also. Definitely worth a try if you haven’t already”

“The food was delicious! I had the Reuben sandwich. It came with a generous portion of delicious fries and a dill pickle. It was stuffed high with lean corned beef, plenty of Swiss cheese, a perfect, light layer of handmade sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. I loved it!

Other adults in our party chose the bourbon marinated steak tips, Cobb salad, and chicken broccoli alfredo. The 2 children each had a children's portion meal of chicken tenders.

The steak tips were very tender and flavorful. Tgey were served with a side sald, vegetable, and choice of potato.

The Cobb salad was large, loaded with tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, bacon bits, boiled egg, and Bleu cheese crumbles. (ordered without onions).

The chicken broccoli Alfredo was in a delightful, light, creamy Alfredo sauce that was perfectly flavored to complement the linguine, broccoli, and chicken to bring them to new heights of deliciousness.

The children's chicken tenders meals were perfectly sized for under 10 with 2 large tenders, plenty of fries, and a large pickle. They came with a Dixie cup sized ice cream for dessert and a drink.

We began with an appetizer of fried calamari which was incredibly good and enough for 4 adults and 2 children to each have a small portion (3 - 5 pieces each). One person could make a pretty filling meal of it. The sweet chili sauce was wonderful! Lightly drizzled over them with a flavorful, but not too spicy, mildly sweet and delightfully tangy taste.

We met for at noon on a Saturday when it was not terribly busy. We did have reservations which I highly recommend as it is very popular. Because it wasn't yet crowded, we took our time. We were able to linger at the table to enjoy a little time chatting, which would likely not be reasonable during busy hours.

We had planned to bring in a homemade birthday cake, but we're told that it would be fine only if it came from a bakery and we had both a receipt and an ingredient list on the box because of state regulations. We hadn't checked beforehand so that was on us.

There was plenty of parking but I can see that at very busy times it might be pretty tight.

There were guests eating outside as it was a high 40s day with plenty of sun and no wind.

All in all, it was a wonderful lunch and I highly recommend anyone eating there. Just be sure to get a reservation and if you want the prime rib which apparently sells out fast, reserve that too!”

“The best ice cream we've ever had, and great & friendly service!!! Great flavors like ginger, blueberry, Graham cracker,and Heath bar. Highly recommended!!!”

“Model for the brewery. Outdoor seating complemented with a rotating food truck (pictured is Teenie Weenies). Plenty of indoor seating oft accompanied by live music and a friendly behind the bar pup. Must try for capital area or anyone venturing in from the West.”

“Their ever-expanding vegan ice cream options keep us coming back !!!!!”

“My wife and I had dinner here and the food was amazing! It's such a cool place too in an old farm house. Had a nice variety of wines on their wine list. The staff was very friendly. The menu states it changes weekly which makes us look forward to coming back and trying other things! They also do monthly dinners with wine pairings that we are definitely going to do!”

“Chiefs makes delicious food!!! It has fresh fish and amazing steak tips and the portions are generous! The pizza is very very good as well! For good food we go here!”

“Good comfort food!”

“We pass by two other pizza shops on our way to get Western Ave as it is 100% the best in the area! Love the chicken pesto pizza.”

“I just had the most magically perfect bacon egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast! this place is incredible!! the eggs had a slight spice and I don't even like eggs normally. but I want to get another to take home! 10 out of 10!!”
