Yeah absolutely never again. I’ve never been to a place where the haddock and tenders are so bad that we ended up just saving it for the cats, and there’s no guarantee that they’ll want it either. I don’t even think they want that in their bodies bro. It tasted like they were frozen, thawed, frozen again, and thawed a second time to ensure a disgusting texture. Also not understanding the point of making reservations just to have to wait almost an extra half hour before we get to sit down. No hate to the servers, they were all 14-16 year olds and doing what they could to ensure a decent service (which they did), the only things that were salvageable were the fritters (hey those used to be a lot bigger too by the way, why’d you shrink them down?) and the French fries. Those are from a freezer, you cannot mess those up.
And your bar customers are rude and entitled, like the most miserable customers there tried to start an issue because there’s no space in your bar. (Edit: it’s not entirely your guys fault the customers suck, that’s just the general population of the area.) This place sucks lol just don’t even risk it, we should’ve went to pipe for chicken

This was my first time going to Cedar Lodge and it was not a good experience. When you first walk in the restaurant there are so many people you cant even get in the door. We made reservations for 630pm on a Saturday as I tried to call for two days to get an earlier time slot and the line was busy. All they had was the 630 time slot. There is no hostess to greet you and to check in. No one greets you at all. You have to walk to the overly crowded bar to check in with the bartenders who look like they dont even want to be there. Then as you are standing waiting for your reserved table, the waitress' and bussers have to squeeze through the mess of people around the bar also waiting for a table. While we are standing there cause it doesnt matter if you make reservations or not apparently, they take your order. The waitresses cant even hear because it is so loud. At this point I was ready to leave. We get seated, right by the bar mind you and not one thing I ordered was correct. I ordered tenderloin tips and got a different cut of meat. My steak was raw! The waitress didnt even ask how I wanted it. I ordered mushrooms with my steak, didnt get them and when I told them they took my plate back and threw mushrooms with no flavor or butter. I would say this place is a total disaster. Waitstaff is way overworked. We waited so long to be seated and were rushed to eat and leave. I believe that is why they take your order before you get seated. I didnt even know who our waitress was as nothing in this place is personable at all. You are a number, that is it. The only thing good about this place is the fritter and I can go to my local bakery for that. I DO NOT recommend. Waste of time and money.

We had reservations for 6:30 for 7 people. When we walked in, it was wall to wall people. Could barely walk through! After 25 minutes, waitress took our orders while squeezing through the crowd. We felt totally rushed through dinner. I asked for a clean spoon, the waitress said it’s the dishwasher, they are all like that. Told her that I wanted a new one anyway. She wasn’t too happy. My prime rib was very fatty. The waitresses were good, but very rushed. The place used to be good, but not anymore. Won’t go back.

We were looking for a restaurant close to The Little Farmer and saw this place was packed! The service was fabulous and quick. The food was incredible and we will definitely make this or go to Sunday spot in the future! It’s worth a 45 minute drive from our home!

Definitely a locals spot but never felt out of place. The drinks were awesome and the bartenders were spot on. Got a drink sat outside and they took our order right there! Inside is super small bar area but was able to get a drink easily. Fritter was awesome and lobster and steak were very good. French onion soup was probably best I've had in a long time. Great experience! Also the bourbon selection was fantastic better than any super club around!

This was our first visit and we couldn't have been happier!! Britney B as out side waitress and she was fabulous!! We wanted for nothing and she was very attentive. The food was delicious and you definitely get your money's worth. 100 percent recommend.
Food was fine, but the crabby strawberry blonde behind that bar ruined it for us. She was crabby and barked at customers. Not the kind of service I would travel for again. No thank you.

I've never been there before, and I heard it was good! And it was! I had perch, good yellow perch, with a light corn meal breading... very good. My wife had Blackened Tuna..she absolutely loved it! Cooked PERFECTLY! Tge dipping cream they served with it, complimented it perfectly ( not positive! , but it was a Wasabi cream? Of sort.. lol? ) food service was unbelievable, so fast and it was packed! Hats off to the Kitchen! Great job 5+ Stars it's a drive for us! But won't hesitate to eat there again!!!! Thank you!
