Great patio and indoor space that sprawls between 19th and 20th, so plenty of space for you and your group. They have a nice selection of food, beers on tap, frozen cocktails, and otherwise full-service bar, so will suit your needs for a nice leisurely lunch, happy hour, or night out. Large parking lot, but not nearly large enough to fit everyone if they are at capacity, so otherwise use street or paid parking nearby. read more

Cedar Creek is an excellent restaurant and bar boasting a wonderful outdoor patio. If the weather allows, it should definitely be on your list of patio spots to visit in Houston. The food is delicious, and the happy hour prices are outstanding! read more

Now I need to put this review in context. I've been to Cedar Creek many times, and I've always enjoyed my time there. But this was on a Sunday and we were hoping to watch the Astros game. I've watched two mid-week games there and it was awesome, but obviously Sundays are different. It was very loud. Both the music and patrons were competing to see who could provide the most decibels. The menu was limited so items we hoped to get weren't available. The breakfast tacos were unimaginative and overpriced. The service was great as usual, and the beer was cold, but the $85 brunch experience was disappointing. read more

After an underwhelming experience at bungalow heights with their raw wings & subpar drinks, the group decided to walk over to cedar creek to end the night. This spot has a lot of outdoor seating & a decent amount of it on the inside. The service that was provided was exceptional compared to bungalow & so was the food. I decided to order a Jack & coke & some lemon pepper wings. My drink was more Jack than coke which was perfect because I hate watered down drinks. The lemon pepper wings were a little over fried but I rather that than some undercooked wings. The wings had a lot of lemon pepper flavor as well. The fries were seasoned nicely. Overall it was a good experience. It's a good spot to hang out with friends. The vibes were on point from our bartenders. Will I come back? You bet I will. read more

Cedar Creek - Seasoned very well. - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Been here quite a few times over the years with friends and family. It's a great neighborhood bar mixed among the others on 20th St. It's one of the few locations with a huge parking lot. 20th street is currently closed for construction, so take 19th and Beall. You line up to order food and drinks. You get a number to take to your seat for a staff member to deliver it. They sometimes take a while walking around to find your number. The food is a little overpriced for what it is, but it tastes great. Their garlic parmesan wings were a favorite, but I found out they don't make that flavor anymore. The lemon pepper tonight was lackluster in flavor. Thank goodness for the ranch. The wings are a pretty decent size, but it's not as clean with a few feather strands. Can't do it. Lol. If you don't mind, that's on you. The elote fries are loaded with ground meat, cheese, corn, and roasted jalapeños which are spicy. Could use a little more corn considering it's elote. The white queso and spinach and artichoke dip are nice and cheesy. Perfectly paired with the tortilla chips. We love the plentiful patio seating out here. Can't go wrong. It's a nice place to hangout and catch a game. It's similar to Onion Creek on White Oak. read more

Ordering process can get kinda stressful because there are no real lines, but the staff is very patient. Food came out extremely quick. The chips on my chilaquiles had lost all their crunch so it was a little underwhelming. Still flavorful though. The patios are is always perfect so Sunday football. Plenty of TVs and seating. read more

Food sucks, drinks are mid. Only thing going for it was the atmosphere and now with the aggressive towing that's going on you're likely to end up with a $300 tow bill at the end of the night regardless. Have been coming here for years but never again. read more

I came here a few weeks ago, about 20 days or so ago according to a review I left for another nearby spot. I should've left my review much sooner than this. I should've left my review much sooner than this to leave a public safety warning. Let me first say it had nothing at all to do with Cedar Creek but there was a bonafide creeper out that night. An unhinged older pervy white guy with long wild looking hair, he wore a black tshirt and long blue jean shorts. He sat right behind my friend at the bench behind us and in direct eyesight of me, not at all far from me and just stared at me, grinning as if he was waiting to abduct me and carry me off in a mini van. I swear he never even blinked. It was utterly creepy and disgusting. We were sitting outside. It was pretty quiet/dead with one, maybe two other small parties sitting outside as well. The outside patio area is pretty massive and my friend and I were on one side and the other party/ies were sitting in different sides of the patio as the one we were on. I regret not going inside to tell the employees about the outdoor creeper. It was kinda difficult though bc I would've had to walk by him to get inside. I say all this to say, ladies, I'd strongly recommend going here in a larger group or with a guy you'd feel safe with particularly at night. It's too easy for a creeper to lurk, bother and god forbid assault you. I would feel much more comfortable coming here if Cedar Creek had a security guard guarding their outdoor patio area at night. With all this said, i would return but with a large party, at an earlier hour (if not with a large party) or with a male whom I trust. About the service, a very nice guy, I believe his name was Javier (it's been a while I might've gotten that wrong) took our order at the bar and was fun and super cool to chat with. Really wish I could've gotten to him to tell him about the perp that was outside. But anyway Javier, set a great tone taking my order with his welcoming fun vibe the moment my friend and I walked in. You order at the counter, they give you a number and bring you your food once it's done. If you're outside, no worries just have your number out on your table and they'll kindly bring it to you. I tried a friend's lemon pepper wings during a previous visit which is what prompted me to leave Bungalow Heights and head to Cedar Creek that night. They were crispy and perfectly seasoned. This time around, I ordered hot lemon pepper wings. I should've got the buffalo sauce on the side because it ruined the crispiness of my wings and made them super soggy. It also wasn't the best tasting buffalo sauce. Definitely noted this for next time. I also had a side of fries. The fries were as crisp and tasty as they were previously. All in all, I enjoyed my most recent visit and felt much more comfortable when the guys in our party rejoined my friend and I. When they arrived the creepy guy was still lurking around and I think the guys showing up finally scared him off. They let him know his perp behavior would not be tolerated. Lupe and others if you're reading this I appreciate y'all so much for that. Thank you! I can still see the guy's icky face and hair in my mind. Sorry to make this review about the creepy experience with the weirdo who was not at all employed by Cedar Creek. Just want to caution the ladies about it. Please know the Cedar Creek staff are great people and the food is tasty for bar fare if you order it right. Nice and convenient for a late night to please your belly before heading home or wherever you plan to stay that night ;). I also tried their cowboy burger bowl on a previous visit and that was a 10 out of 10. Fresh lettuce and veggies. The beef is seasoned very well and it tastes like it's cooked on an open flame. Very delish. read more

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! read more

Cedar Creek has become one of my favorite Sunday Funday spots, especially when the weather is nice out. It sits right up on the creek (which I assume is Cedar Creek), and has this really homey vibe to it. It has a massive deck with an outdoor bar area. Inside you got a large space with a full bar with plenty of seating. It's unique in that half the seats don't match. The bartenders are always on point with a great attitude as well. They have daily specials on food and drinks. One of my favorite things to get is one of their frozen concoctions. I am a sucker for a frozen mimosa and they do it great here. It hits different in the summer. Don't sleep on the food. Everything I have had here is delicious. Their wings has become one of my favorite wings in Houston. It goes well with their elote fries as well. Overall, this is a great spot any day of the week! read more

Never waste your money here. Spent an 80 dollar tab on a family dinner and came outside to see that my car was towed. Had to Uber my whole family to the lot and spend 300 to get my vehicle back. Eat anywhere but here. read more

Great outdoor space! Great for happy hour, Saturday or Sunday during the day for some crawfish! Service is pretty darn good for how busy they get! read more

My car got towed from the parking lot even though I was a customer AND had a handicapped placard. No signs no warning....still don't understand why, the nachos were not worth the $300 in tow fees read more

they towed my $80,000 car for no reason I've only came here to meet my friends..... when I told them they made me Uber to the most shady car lot I've ever seen when I got my BMW back. They had all kinds of problems, suspension lights, power steering wasn't working. And the check engine light was on and I sent them a picture of that and they have the nerve to tell me I'm trying to scam them...... after looking at reviews. This happens all the time I will be contacting the TLDR and doing everything I can to have somebody look into this. Do not come here. Do not park here. read more

Who wants to spend their money to feel like an afterthought or that they're putting out staff for normal customer needs? Edit: left a phone message to management six days ago and have yet to hear back. Brought out of town family there at 6pm on a Tuesday night. We were one of maybe 6-7 tables. My salad arrived with dressing on it when I asked for it on the side, because I had to eat most of it at my shift later. No biggie. I kindly sent it back and waited for a new salad with fried chicken tenders. By the time it arrived 15-20 minutes later, everyone else was finished with their meal. And the dressing I asked for still wasn't on the side. I thanked the runner and asked for ranch again, but he never returned. I've worked at restaurants for decades, and can't recall the last time I've written a negative review, but then I remembered that this isn't the first time I've had bad service here recently. The last time the bartender gave me the wrong person's credit card and acted put out when I handed it back, but they said they'd fix it. I had to go to the bar and ask again 15 minutes later, so I could leave. They had forgotten, acted annoyed again, and then blamed someone else for their mistake. There are lots of little things too, over the last 3-4 visits that made me feel not so welcome, but I wasn't keeping track, because everyone has bad days. I don't know what's going on there, but after 12 years of patronage, I'm not sure I want to return. read more

Nice and spacious for outdoor lunch. Menu offers variety and daily specials. Fresh food. Love the Asian chicken salad! Self-order and drinks with server bringing food to table in a pretty timely manner. Recommend on a weekday, as weekends can get crowded! read more

First and foremost they have an amazing lunch menu but they need helping hands or a faster employee. It took 15 minutes just to take my order because the guy at the register was truly overwhelmed. It makes it impossible to enjoy the lunch menu if your hour flies by just tryna get your order taken. read more

Good took 45 minutes was cold they brought me 2 other orders. But otherwise it was cool the ambiance was fine and the food was cold but ok. Had to get to-go to warm up read more

My cousin invited me here to meet some friends after brunch. The parking is absolutely atrocious lol it's a busy intersection in the heights and while they do have a parking lot there is just way more people than parking spaces. I was lucky to find a spot on the street but keep in mind I had to circle the block about three times before I did. I had a frozen mimosa and it wasn't as sweet as I would like but it did the job. I also had a green tea shot and it was phenomenal!! I read the reviews on the food and was a bit skeptical but I saw they were selling crawfish (11/lb). and was intrigued. They let me try a sample and it wasn't bad so i ordered a couple of pounds with a sausage and potatoes. It had a little kick to it so I wasn't mad but i did not care for the sausage at all and for $6 (for one link) I felt like it was a bit overpriced. It seems like a cool place to come hang out at if you're in the area and the weather is good. read more

I really like this place. My friends and I enjoyed food and a couple beers this past weekend since the weather was nice. It's really cute and outdoor seating is available as well. I recommend going during the week if you want to have a chill night. read more

We came here during happy hour! I got Moscow mules and I think the second one hit me different (in a good way). We ordered the artichoke dip & frickles. The dip came out almost immediately and we kept waiting for the frickles... we ended up going inside to ask for it & they indicated it wasn't on our tab which was frustrating. We got them sooner or later lol. The dip was actually VERY good. Some of the best artichoke dip I have had. It comes with chips & pita bread. The frickles (fried pickles) had a kick to it, but are also my favorite! Would come here for a meet up, or hang out with some friends! I love that they have outside seating & it's well shaded. read more

We got to check out Cedar Creek today for brunch and it did not disappoint! First off, the service was fantastic! You order at the bar but everyone we interacted with was so helpful and nice. The food was delicious and everything tasted homemade. Also the drinks were bomb and nicely poured It was pretty crowded inside so we sat outside and enjoyed the nice sunny day. They have ample space outside and are dog friendly. read more

Sometimes this place is 5-stars, sometimes it's 1. The quality of the food is so hit or miss that it's really hard to reliably know what you're getting. It's the reason why I live a few blocks from here but will usually drive to their other restaurant/bar Onion Creek. On the positive side, they have one of the better chicken sandwiches I've ever had, I like that a quality side salad is an option, they have interesting condiments, and usually a decent beer selection. On the negative side, sometimes their food is so overcooked, it's incredible. They also have the worst fish tacos I've ever had in my life, it was like a brick. read more

Car got towed while at the establishment. Had to take pics of my receipt and my bank statement after they told me I was lying for being at the restaurant. Giant parking lot and people pissed off everywhere for the same situation we were in. I get that there are bars around the area but they have this practice down the wrong way. Will not ever return here after tonight regardless of the food or drinks. read more

This is the first yelp review I have written. As you can see from the many other reviews, this restaurant has a reputation--not for its food, not for its service, but for its predatory towing practices. I am here to add to that. This restaurant will tow your car, plain and simple, and from what I can tell, they have no intention of stopping. I reached out to the Creek Group to try and resolve the situation, and their response? "That's between you and the tow company." But let's be real--any business that hires a tow company like this, racks up countless bad reviews because of it, and does nothing to fix the issue must be profiting off it. A restaurant is supposed to thrive because of great food and excellent service--a place where hardworking people can enjoy a Friday night out without worrying that their car will be gone when they leave. Instead, this place has chosen to make money off a slimy, backdoor towing scheme. It's disgusting. It's immoral. It's downright un-American. I don't usually believe in trying to keep a business from succeeding, but what's happening here is wrong. Do not give them your business. They don't deserve it read more

Horrible experience. Flys everywhere and the food was disgusting. Drinks were so mid. And lastly they towed two of my friends car while we were in the establishment. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

I've come here for steak night twice. The way it's cooked really varies depending on how busy it is but that steak always gonna hit. The garlic on top really adds to the flavor of the steak.

Super busy and a little hard to get a to go box but otherwise was a great meal. I'd like to come back here for date night when we have no kids for the evening. read more

Cedar Creek is my go to for when I'm feeling indecisive! Their large menu and drink selections make it that I always try something different but am guaranteed quality and taste! The portions for the price is pretty bang on! This time around, I tried the Laredo burger which had guac and jalapeño. It was flavorful and subtly spicy! Their thin fries are one of my favorites too! I completed my dinner with a delicious Moscow Mule with Tito's. The staff was following covid precautions by wearing masks properly and seating is limited inside. However there is tons of spaced out outdoor seating. They're also the only restaurant that has a literal creek flowing through it. The sound of water flowing through the creek, the cute string lights, delicious menu and their smoky bonfires on cold nights make for a super cute date night spot! read more

Sadly, we went into Cedar Creek to get a drink and potentially something to eat for my diabetic daughter who was struggling and in 50 minutes they towed our car. Tried to explain the circumstance, they did not care. Charged $307 for towing our car. Be aware, this seems like a scam with tow drivers. Say, the tow driver was sympathetic and said they do this constantly and was kind enough to take us to the place where they towed our car. read more
