Cedar Grill - Lebanon (PA)

3 /5 LVVM: We recently visited Cedar Grill, which is located on a main avenue and offers a large parking lot and a spacious interior. The service was excellent—our server was an older woman, but she was very quick, attentive, and friendly. However, the restaurant itself feels outdated and could really use some renovations. The cleanliness left something to be desired as well. As for the food, it was underwhelming. My husband ordered a basic breakfast of eggs and pancakes, which was just average. I, however, ordered a New York steak, and it was a disappointment. The meat was served cold and lacked flavor, which was surprising for a place that has “grill” in its name. I had asked for it medium, but it wasn’t cooked properly and tasted bland. Overall, the friendly service couldn’t make up for the poor quality of the food and the outdated atmosphere. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a great meal.

4 /5 Margaret Shutter: The waitresses are attentive and the food was very good. Had a really good spinach salad with honey mustard dressing. Best salad Ive had in a long time. It was just different than the regular lettuce, tomato and onion salad When I was there there were not many people so it was fairly quiet. My companion and I were able to hold a conversation. Ive eaten here before many times. There are times when it gets very busy and quite loud. Another favorite of mine the the cream chipped beef over home fries. The price is about the same as other places. Two of us eat for a little less than 30 dollars unless we get dessert. They have some really beautiful and delicious cakes. I like the cheesecake and they have a Hawaiian cake with pineapple and coconut which is very good.They have ice cream, pie, pudding and jello. The place was not real full so they werent super busy but the waitresses are all very frienService was very good. Sometimes parking can be scarce but they are building a new restaurant next to the present one and it will have much more parking. I have and will continue to recommend it to others

4 /5 Samantha Wolfe: Cedar Grill is one of those small local diners that just gets it. It’s a regular stop on my breakfast runs especially because my 88-year-old grandpa absolutely loves it, which honestly says everything you need to know. This place feels familiar, welcoming, and comforting in the best way. My go-to orders are either the breakfast quesadilla (which is huge and packed with veggies) or the mushroom omelette, both consistently delicious and filling. The food is always good, always hot, and somehow comes out crazy fast usually within 10 minutes of ordering. The service is what really sets this place apart. We always ask for Charla, and she is hands down the best. She remembers our order every time and often meets us at the table with coffee already poured. She knows her regulars, treats everyone like family, and makes every visit feel personal. A quick honest note: right now, some of the booths and tables are a little run down, but they’re actively working on opening new housing right next door, so it’s clear they’re building toward something bigger and brighter. It’s absolutely not a deal breaker the heart of the place, the food, and the people are what matter, and those are solid. Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and the vibe is classic hometown diner. If you want fast, reliable breakfast with genuine care behind it, Cedar Grill is it.

2 /5 B. Wolfe: Decided to stop for a quick dinner on our way back from Myerstown. I got the chicken Alfredo, which was absolutely terrible. It had no taste at all, and the chicken had a very weird and off-putting texture. The other person I was with had the roast beef sandwich, and his beef was very tough and stringy. I know they are in the process of building a new diner, but the one they are in now is very dirty and run-down. I will say the staff is very friendly and does a wonderful job. I dont think I will be returning.

5 /5 Elizabeth Lower: LOVE THIS PLACE! It is a bit old BUT they will be soon moving next door into the NEW CEDAR GRILL. CANT WAIT! GREAT PRICES! And NEVER had a complaint about the food. They are always very nice and they all work very hard. This is my go to!
