My husband and I decided to go here for dinner tonight. we have never been here before and we have very open minds in regards to trying new places to eat.
I ordered ravioli and it comes with a salad or soup. I got the salad with Italian dressing.
He got the chicken tender basket and we ordered hot chips.
The hot chips were very bland and not crunchy at all. which was very disappointing. My husband said that his chicken tender basket was comparable to fair food and he said that it wasn't very good.
My ravioli was very bland as well. The sauce had no flavor, no garlic, no Italian seasoning it was like cheap sauce. I didn't even finish it.
We don't recommend this place. Please go elsewhere.
The garlic fries are incredible and all the food we had was at least above average. It is a bar and restaurant. Don’t go here for atmosphere, there isn’t much. However if you want very good food, give this place a try.

Best lamb in town! Service is great and never disappoints!
Cedars is a local joint that gives hefty portions, the staff are friendly and quick. The Syrian bread has a nice crust, and soft pillowy center. I highly recommend the Pittsburgh sandwich, we also were here for wings night, the wings were fantastic.They give a healthy serving of fresh cut fries, with in house made ranch dressing. If you are coming in to New Castle, you must stop in and try a place that locals love, and have enjoyed for over 65 years.
Arrived just before 5:30pm this evening and it took 20 minutes to even get greeted by the waitress. There were about 5 tables in the dining room so busy, but nothing crazy. Got our beverages then ordered. As time passed the waitress spilled ranch dressing onto the dining room floor right next to our table and after just ignoring it for several minutes, I observed her just smush it into the carpet with her shoe. Didn’t wipe it up, spray it down or anything which was very disturbing. 75 minutes later our table finally received our food. No apologies for the wait or explanation whatsoever. It appeared waitress forgot to put our order in because other tables who arrived after us received their food. When the food finally arrived I got a steak salad which was ok and my daughter got wings which were not very good. Very saucy with little taste. Had to ask repeatedly for refills so service overall was very bad on this night.
Based on poor service, lack of cleanliness inside, and average food we will not be returning to this establishment.

Cedars atmosphere is plain but clean in the dining area but there’s plenty of room at the tables, it’s nice and comfortable. And, while the dining room is a three, the bar is a five. So, a four for atmosphere. The food and service are always great. Can recommend the Lamb Dish and the Cedars Combo both are great. The Lamb Dish has pepper rings in the meal, the mild ones that you usually get in a cup with dinner. Also, a lot of really good melty cheese. Mine was the Cedars Combo. I like cheese, but I like my lamb all lamb, Linda loved her lamb dish with all that cheese. I tasted it, and it was excellent. The combo also has chicken. The chicken was also very good, but really the lamb is the star of this show. And I’ve never had any issues with the lamb here. Wife gets medium, always just pink. I get med rare, and it’s always med rare. The cooks here always mail it. These dinners come with a little cup of garlic sauce. I always use it. The sauce is not garlicky at all. I mean it’s not REALLY garlicky. The bread is a wedge of Syrian loaf.I eat here as often as I eat at Edwards, except Cedars is where I go between the two when I want lamb. Smaller menu, but something for everyone. Oh, and a great selection of draft beer. Everything from PBR to micro brews, and plenty of them. I have never had a bum meal here. Or one that didn’t come out hot.

I ordered the Kibee and Grape leaves plate, my husband ordered the Lamb and rice. My food was cooked perfectly, and the portions were very filling. His lamb looked delicious and he said it was the most tender, juicy lamb he's ever had. We had Garlic fries and onion rings for appetizers. The garlic fries were heavily covered with garlic and I absolutely loved it, while my husband could have done with a bit less garlic. You can tell that they were hand-cut fries and they were delicious. Our beers were icy cold and the waitress was attentive and helpful. We went before the dinner rush on a Tuesday so it was quiet and peaceful. Don't be fooled by the Dive Bar Vibes or the neighborhood. Looks are quite deceptive and the food was amazing.
Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options, but you really have to look for things and ask for substitutions.
Parking: The parking lot is full of potholes and it was not an enjoyable experience for our tiny car. The alley beside the parking lot is also full of potholes.
Kid-friendliness: The area is very wide open and roomy so you can have plenty of space for the whole family.
Wheelchair accessibility: The front entry looks like you are walking up to someone's home. There are steps and no room for a wheelchair. The back entrance has a wheelchair ramp, but it's not very wide and neither is the door to get inside.
