Cedars Restaurant & Lounge

Could be the worst restaurant in Oregon. Too busy to eat until our trip home so we stopped here on the way, expecting solid small-town diner food. Instead we got the worst omelette I've ever had (no cheese, 3 small pieces of tomato, overcooked fried onions and black olives wrapped taco style in 3 eggs).  Omelette came coated in grill char and tasted like meat juice. The hashbrowns were completely full of oil and tasted like cheap cooking oil. I had 5 bites and started feeling sick. My husband is convinced that the last bite of his tartar sauce had animal droppings in it. To top it off, the cook kept walking across the room leering at me and the waitresses seemed miserable. Considering we were the only ones in there, service was slow and they forgot to bring us our coffee, which was so weak it was basically brown water. When we got back to town we told our friend we had the worst meal ever at a place called the Cedars and he said "Wait, is that in Detroit? That place is gross!!"

The food is descent and the prices are very reasonable for what you get.

They were out of the first two beers I asked for (Hef and Blue Moon) , which was disappointing, and i had to remind them i ordered a beer.  However someone came by the table often enough to check on us that it wasn't tt big of a deal.

I had theSouthwestern Burger, which I found to be great.  The fries are just good enough that you dont need ketchup while they are still hot, but once they cool down you will need ketchup if you want to finish them.

I'd stop here again if i am massing that way.

Glad I didn't listen to the other yelpers and we tried this place. My husband and I ordered the garden burger and Reuben respectively. My husband upgraded to the cross cut fries and they were great and my garden burger was great, they made it into a neat and tidy wrap for me at no extra charge! The food was made promptly, was not greasy and everything was very good. I couldn't think of anything to knock down it from a 5 star rating. Good clean food, quaint atmosphere, friendly server and just a good experience overall, what more can you ask from a restaurant. Thumbs up The Cedars, keep up the good work feeding us hungry travelers a good meal!
