“Good burgers, grilled sandwiches, hot Italian sausages, pulled pork, etc. Sit up at the counter on a barstool or grab a table on their small cafe dining area. Attached is an ice cream shop for hand-dipped bowls, cones and milkshakes. Service is quick and the waitstaff here are down-home-diner friendly.“

“Nice lil Mom n Pop restaurant. We were seated right away. Waitress provided menus brought us coffee and gave us ample rime to decide. We were served within a short time. Food was hot and tasty. Waitress made frequent checks to make sure everything was to our liking. I also enjoyed the interaction with customers, who were variety of ages although most were retired. Waitresses were friendly, gave hugs and assisted some to get to their table because of difficulty walking. It was a comfortable atmosphere and felt like family. This is a nice stop to relax, eat, and have kindness shown. I recommend this as a nice little sideroad eatery.“

“The owner Bryan was very accommodating to my fiance and I. The food is out of this world! The stuff is polite and courteous. They go out of there way to satisfy their customers. We eat here just about once every weekend considering we live 2 blocks from their restaurant. Their soft serve ice cream is amazing as well. Super friendly and recommend people from this area and from out of the area to try it if you drive past! You won't regret it“

“I am a waitress at the restaurant been here for over 5 years.. I’m hearing lots of bad reviews from the bar next door to us. Just because we are now not allowing the bar next door to use are parking lot for them to park.. we are very focused on our customers .. if they have no place to park they won’t be able to come in and eat. We had times where we had trash thrown on our parking lot.. beer cans.. signs been broken down.. our customers have been complaining..we were letting it happen for a lil bit until they were starting not to respect the situation so as are businesses we look after our customers.. so there no more parking allowed for the bar customers..so now we getting made up bad reviews on or food and restaurant from them because their upset that we not allowing them to use are parking lot.. this restaurant has the best food.. coffee and the best homemade desert that are freshly made every Thursday..we have lots of regulars that come here, this place is very family oriented.. and our food is great. And has has the best breakfast.. Evan a bar tender that works at bar next door comes in and gets food every time. It’s very upsetting and how far people would go to bash another business just because they are upset about our business policy..“

“First time here and I have to say, this place is great. I don't say that lightly.... I ordered steak and it was cooked perfectly. The waitress was running her butt off but she did it with a smile and very polite and welcoming attitude. We will definitely go back, and we will refer it to family and friends“

“Best place to eat in Lebanon county“

“Love their lotus drinks!!! Lattes are great too!! Not super sweet like other places!“

“We went here tonight as a group of 14 for a 50th birthday dinner. Food was great. Service was beyond exceptional! Even with the large group the waitress was very attentive and made sure everyone had their drinks and food. Will definitely come back again. Thanks for a great evening!“

“Greatest hot dogs 🌭 ever.“

“Thank you Union House Taproom for welcoming with open arms the Twin Valley Community. Service, food and beverages were top notch.“

“The wait staff is so friendly and food is well prepared and served hot. The home made lentil soup was the best I’ve ever eaten. The menu is filled with so many tempting options for breakfast, lunch and dinner it’s hard to decide what to order. Guess we will have to keep going back so we can sample everything this great little eatery has to offer.“

“We (my family) live almost 60 some miles away, but we will take a drive to this diner we discovered on one of our roadtrips going south from where we live….. the food was always great and in my opinion you get a lot for the money…. We’ll just take a drive there n a Sunday just to eat lunch….. we love the inside look….it’s like something you’d see on the set of “Happy Days” and we’re expecting to see the “Fonz” walk in… love the oldies music playing all the time…. The staff are always friendly and nice…. and whatever you order if you cannot eat it all you can get containers to take it with you….and I’m a big eater and I usually have some food to take home….“

“Recently (on Tuesday, September 23, 2025), our family buried my husband at the cemetery at Fort Indiantown Gap. We visited the brewery for a lunch to celebrate him. We were sooo very pleased with the service, the food, and the beer. I’m so sorry I don’t remember our waitperson’s name but she was just wonderful. Thank you so much for making an otherwise sad day a great experience. We will definitely recommend your establishment to others. Pamela Gauthier“

“Everything is fresh and homemade... She took her time which I don't mind because that shows she cares about her food... People need to support restaurants like this...“

“We've always had great food and until tonight, always had great service too. The waitress tonight was terrible! Never checked on us. Didn't fill drinks, didn't check on our food order(which was not given as ordered) and didn't have the courtesy of apologizing. We had to get another waitress(who was awesome btw, and apologized for the poor service we received) to get our check and take-home box. And the original waitress, well, she was not too busy to stand around gabbing. smh.“

“Some of the best subs around. Very fresh and plenty of meat“

“I must say I like that store a lot . the soups are good as well as the other stuff . .but when ever I go there to get something from the meat counter there is never anyone out to help u get something.its really disappointing .“

“Good place to eat. Good food and friendly atmosphere“

“The food here was awesome. We had smoked wings and the pulled pork nachos. Whoa. Huge, delicious portions of fresh and delectable food. The prices were good and the service was exceptional. Our server was friendly and helpful. We will be back again, for sure!!! Make sure you swing by when in the area. Wonderful atmosphere with live music during our Saturday mid day meal.“

“Cedar Grill is one of those small local diners that just gets it.

It’s a regular stop on my breakfast runs especially because my 88-year-old grandpa absolutely loves it, which honestly says everything you need to know. This place feels familiar, welcoming, and comforting in the best way.

My go-to orders are either the breakfast quesadilla (which is huge and packed with veggies) or the mushroom omelette, both consistently delicious and filling. The food is always good, always hot, and somehow comes out crazy fast usually within 10 minutes of ordering.

The service is what really sets this place apart. We always ask for Charla, and she is hands down the best. She remembers our order every time and often meets us at the table with coffee already poured. She knows her regulars, treats everyone like family, and makes every visit feel personal.

A quick honest note: right now, some of the booths and tables are a little run down, but they’re actively working on opening new housing right next door, so it’s clear they’re building toward something bigger and brighter. It’s absolutely not a deal breaker the heart of the place, the food, and the people are what matter, and those are solid.

Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and the vibe is classic hometown diner. If you want fast, reliable breakfast with genuine care behind it, Cedar Grill is it.“
