Incredibly rude bar staff - and apparently they are running a pretty significant towing scam out of their parking lot and the surrounding streets. Don’t waste your $$ here.

Fun & laid back. Good vibes all round!!!!

More than just a bar. Their food is always delicious. Perfect spot to spend an afternoon with friends and dogs. I love the empanadas! Have a meal here, then walk to other bars on 19th.

If you go here your car will get towed even if you're at the bar. Take an extra $320.00 to pay tow.

Predatory towing practices. We were patrons in the bar and STILL got towed. Dont give these frauds your money or business.

Towing system in this area is UNFAIR and EXCESSIVE! We were here for not even 30 minutes and were towed. This is my second time getting towed in this area. NEVER AGAIN! If you plan on coming, be aware of where you park and for how long because these towing companies will drain you! DO BETTER CEDAR CREEK!

Cedar Creek, a Cafe, Bar, and Grill, located at 1034 W 20th St, is a visually entertaining place to be seen. Being my 1st time here, it's a bit of a challenge to comprehend at first. I arrived at 4:45 pm and walked into the establishment through the front door. The place at first was dark, but just needed for my eyes to adjust. Being a cafe, bar, and grill, I didn't know what to expect at first. There was no hostess and no sign to indicate to help yourself to a seat. I walked further into the interior and found many tables reserved for a group party. After finding an open table, I sat down and waited for the wait staff. While waiting, I noticed that there were only 2 barmaids working the Bar. I also notice a couple of staff members running food orders to tables. Although several of these employees locked eyes with me, no one came to offer any service. After watching the crowd grow, I started to see the function on how this establishment runs. Thus, after 10 minutes of waiting, this is what I noticed. So for you first-timers, like myself, Grab a menu, wait in line at the bar, place your order (if ordering food, they'll give you a number on a stand), then find a seat. Sadly, I noticed that quite a few people would place their drink order, wait there at the bar for the drinks to be made and then stay there and drink their drinks; all while others are trying to place their own orders. Thus creating chaos, as some people were skipped over, who were waiting. I noticed others leaving, just because of no consistency in placing orders, in an organized manner. I don't know if they are short staffed, but when you have guests trying to figure out where the line starts or ends, where to place your order, etc... this shows poor management, organization skills. After I placed my order, I was rung up for my order and asked if I wanted to keep an "Open Tab?" I declined, so the bar made closed my order to be closed. Something I don't like is being asked for a tip on a receipt when you haven't even been served or provided any food. However to avoid this, you need to keep an open tab. After signing my receipt, I was again confused. I ordered a Fountain Drink to which I was not provided. The barmaid just kept moving on to the next customers. That's when I noticed the Wait Staffs Serving Station in the corner. As it turns out, the fountain drinks are self-served and on a paid, Honor System. Directly on the opposite side are the straws and condiments. As for my order, I had decided on the Thursday Night Special, which happens to be Steak Night. Sadly, neither on the board or the menu does it specify what it all curtails. So I had to ask, when placing my order. I was told that it consisted of: a 16 oz Steak with a Garlic Butter Sauce, Mashed Potatoes, and Asparagus, all for $27.°°. I also decided to order a side Salad. As far as salads go, the Side Salad was delicious. It had Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, shredded Carrots, and Red Onions, with your choice of Salad Dressing. The Mashed Potatoes were good, but I would have liked to have some Butter for it. So I used the Garlic Butter Sauce from the steak, for the Mashed Potatoes. Topped on the Mashed Potatoes was Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Bits. The Asparagus was perfectly cooked and flavored. The best I've had in a long time. As for the Steak... It was definitely not worth buying. It was a poor quality cut of Beef. The fat, I can live with, but the Gristle... Try and be discreet and nonchalant while spitting that into a napkin several times; with a room of people looking on. As for the rest of the place, it was lively and festive. Plenty of outdoor sitting on the Pet Friendly Patio to enjoy with friends, family and/or pets. Despite my overall 1st time experience in dining here, I will definitely come back to see if they have improved their organization and staffing issues, as well as try their regular menu items. As busy as it was, that definitely has something to say for this place.

I had drinks and had my car towed. When I asked why was my car towed they said I didn’t come here. But I did. They would not go anything. They were very rude.
Heads up, everyone! If you're considering parking in the Cedar Creek parking lot and then bar-hopping nearby, think twice. Here’s what’s happening:
A guy in a white Ford pickup acts as the "spotter." As soon as he sees you leave the lot, he calls a tow truck.
The parking lot has a faint, hard-to-see sign stating it’s only for Cedar Creek customers, so many people don’t notice it.
Even after Cedar Creek closes, they keep towing cars until the last vehicle is gone.
If your car gets towed, you’re looking at $300 cash to get it back.
Spread the word to save someone the hassle (and a lot of money). Don’t park there unless you plan to stay strictly at Cedar Creek!

Friendly bar with plenty of outdoor seating!

If I could leave zero stars, I absolutely would. The customer service is beyond weird and creepy. Not only are they rude, but they watch the women through the security cameras describing what they wear. Heads up with the parking- you will probably get towed!

They have a contract with a towing company that preys on people who park in their lot with their vague “customer only parking” signs which is easily interpreted as the general area of several bars surrounding it. Car was towed within 1 hour of being in the area for $300 and when I called the number to find my car, the man on the phone described to me the outfit I was wearing because they sit and watch the cameras 24/7 waiting to tow people. I watched at least 5 other cars get towed waiting for my uber to the tow yard. Very weird predatory behavior. They must not be bringing in enough money on their own merit.
