Cedar Creek

Great place for food and drinks. Laid-back atmosphere makes it a great place to hang out.

Environment is dependent on weather. People are friendly. Food is decent. You can bring kids, which is awesome.

However major flaw (to me) is:
If you plan on paying with a debit card or credit card be prepared to be charged twice the amount you plan on spending. This is not the simple $1-$10 preauthorization amount that some places charge to make sure you have funds. This is the amount you end up spending all together (charged twice). Do not expect to have the, in my case, large erroneous amount returned until 5 or more business days later (which does not include Friday apparently). This may not bother some people, but for someone who is anally retentive about their bank account this would be an important piece of information to know in advance. They do not warn you about the extra charge that will pend in your account for days. I was told it was a discrepancy on the banks part, but the bank informed me that the card was ran twice. Who is telling the truth? I don't know, but I do know that if I were charged twice every time I used my debit/credit card, I wouldn't be using it...ever. It would seem to defeat the purpose of the card. At any rate, the decent food and the friendly employees is not worth the inconvenience of dealing with the bank.

My solution: bring cash or go some where else.

This is a great place for kids 5-13. Younger kids will need parental supervision since there is a creek where the older kids catch minnows and chase turtles. Older kids will be bored with the previous mentioned activity. They play great music. From Rouge  Wave to the shins. The best food item is off menu. Ask for the BLT...trust me it's killer.
