Great dive bar. The wings along are worth the trip but the inexpensive pitchers of beer will keep you for a bit. A neighborhood gem. read more

Claudette is the shiz-nit! The best bartender! Go say hello! The Bowling Game and the Online Juke box make this a fun place/neighborhood bar. Its a different crowd, at different times of the day. Workers in the afternoon, bikers in the early evening, hipsters till close, a Fun place to hang cheaply. read more

Great little place to have a home cooked breakfast. The staff was super nice, and the portions were huge! We ate outside at the picnic tables because we had our daughter with us. the bad thing about that, is that is where all the people go to smoke. It wasn't that big of a deal, but kind of yucky. read more

I popped into the Cedar recently and had breakfast. I got some breakfast combo with hashbrowns O'Brien, topped with two over-easy eggs and some bacon and toast on the side. Considering I'd never been in here and had no idea what to expect, the Cedar Inn did pretty well for itself on the food tip. The servers were friendly and you could tell they were owners or longtime employees; refills were handled well. The amount of food you get is also extremely good for the money. Oh yeah, the Blood Mary I had was OK, nothing special. They make em with sake because it's in the no-booze zone. It could've been heavier on the sake for my taste. I really hate the Nascar decor of this place and the video games and other monstrosities they have decorating the joint are somewhat hideous. But as a place to grab some food or a few beers I could definitely dig it. It looks like a dump from the outside and it's definitely a dive but it has some charm. read more

Domestic tap beer makes me dizzy and bulges my stomach but I have a different agenda when I visit. Many refer to the chicken wings as Asian Zing but I don't know where that term came from, the word zing is nowhere to be found on the menu. The proper term is Asian Sticky and they are stickier than the menus and huge. There could be an entirely separate business that focuses on these wings. If I lived in the neighborhood it would be a 4-star place, only because of the wings. The more I think about it, the more I like this chicken. read more

We thought, for the price, it's a great neighborhood bar. The $8 pitchers are a great touch for local residents. Breakfast is cheap and not terribly greasy. The hashbrowns o'brien are fantastic. It's dive-y, sure, but they're very friendly to outsiders. Only downside? Oftentimes they don't have more than one game on and they are always confused on which channel has the local game. Also, when paying with credit card, you need to tell them how much you want to tip up front. read more

Have you seen Making a Murderer? I grew up in Manitowoc County (Wisconsin) and if you are a fan of the show and want to maybe know what Manty is like, but you live in South MPLS, you should go to this place. It's more or less like stepping across time and space and re-locating yourself in hick-ville small town Wisconsin bar. Even the people who eat there. Alternatively, are you a Trump supporter? I think this might be where Trump-ers go. It just has that NASCAR feel. I live just two blocks away. I thought this place was bigger inside and different but didn't read the reviews before I went after church with my girlfriend for lunch on Sunday. We walked over and when you get past the door that has these massive weird locks on them, you step into "someone else's bar." That's how it felt. Food was a little over-priced, my opinion. Girlfriend ordered breakfast (which we were surprised was served) and i ordered a California Burger but instead was given a regular cheeseburger. I didn't send it back, as we were getting quite a few looks from the "regulars" and were even stared at strangely by the older lady and man who must run the joint. Maybe we were being glared at because we didn't order beers? Neither the cheese curds nor the fried mushrooms had much taste. Fries? Dripping grease - no salt. Cheeseburger was okay, very very greasy, but i expected that. Then, i gave the lady my credit card without being given the bill. She ran my card and brought back the slip but said "you don't need to sign anything." Really? No line for writing in a tip? Are you too good for my charity or what? I did some quick math in my head, without ever seeing a bill to think if the tip might have been included. It wasn't. So i felt stupid, so i went to the ATM and paid the 2.75 $$ fee and got $20 and then had to have her make change for me so i could leave a tip... Super awkward. The regulars were outside smoking when we left and said "have a nice day" - which was just creepy and weird. My girlfriend thinks this is a front for other goings on. Hmm. read more

I ordered based on the reviews of the wings. I called in an order of 12 wings (6 plain 6 Buffalo) and a double cheeseburger. The person taking my order made sure to ask what type of cheese I wanted, I stated cheddar and she said my order was going to be ready in 20 mins. There is a parking lot right next to the establishment so it's not hard to find a spot. I picked up my food and charged it and the bar waitress asked did I want to leave a tip because the machine doesn't allow you to leave one after she runs the card. I'm always confused about tipping on my to go orders...I usually leave a dollar or two but please don't ask me for it. I left her two dollars cash and was on my way. I get back to the hotel and the burger doesn't have any cheese!!!!!!!!! NO CHEESE!!! I asked for a cheeseburger with cheddar cheese and got a dry ass hamburger with no cheese!!! The wings were okay...they are whole wings so that's always good! A nice size and I liked the flavor of the buffalo sauce. The plain wings were better the buffalo wings were soggy. I got extra buffalo sauce and dipped my plain wings in the sauce. I also got a salad but she didn't give me any silverware. WHAT WAS THE TIP FOR?? I got no cheese and no silverware and she got $2. I didn't win at all with this. Will not be back read more

Good place close to home for a beer and bar food. Expect a rowdy crowd of locals on any night of the week. We showed up on a Wednesday and were greeted by a group of hammered older people. Also stopped by on a Thursday and it was a new even more drunk group. We both had some food none of it was great but none of it was bad. The beer was good and you can't ask for much more in a place like this. Also next time I might want to try some of the pterodactyl wings they are claiming are from chickens next time we run through. read more

I live in the neighborhood and have always had an appreciation for dive bars. I went in here on a whim to snag an Irish Car Bomb on St. Patrick's Day with my husband, thinking it looked like the perfect dive to throw one back in. Only to find out they don't have liquor. They do have wine, beer, and sake. Sake? Ok... I had a "Premium", whatever that is. It was $2.50, and it was in a legit frosted mug. Which was fun. Honestly, I want to love this place in a nasty sort of way, because the people working there were SO nice and it had that small town, Nascar loving feel. But I didn't love it. And the entire place smelled like a public restroom. I have not eaten here though...and I may not. read more

It's cheap, servers and cooks are friendly, it's in my neighborhood and the wings are awesome!!! Highly recommend the "Sticky Asian" wings. They are huge whole chicken wings, so 6 is a lot!! Perfect to split an order with a friend and wash down with a beer or two. Love coming here for the people watching too! Total locals crowd, complete lack of diversity (odd for this area). At night It's somewhere between Comical and OMG that person is drunk! It's a clean dive bar. Oxymoron, I know. read more

Stopped by for a bite to eat from a recommendation and I was pleased! The place is pretty old school neighborhood bar and delivered good grub. PROs: -Affordable prices -Food ordered wasn't greasy -Relaxed atmosphere and easy-going staff -Located in a friendly neighborhood -Food deals during football games -Lots of options for french fries and drinks -Arcade games -Offers Heggie's pizzas for all you fanatics CONs: -There are none, I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

One of the best places in town for wings!!! I prefer buffalo. Definitely a dive bar but the wings are worth it.

A great neighborhood bar. A bit of a dive bar, but if you stop buy more than a handful of times you will quickly become a "regular". Bar and wine only keeps those away who want cocktails, but they are missing out on some great fun, very reasonable prices and good bar food. The Cedar is known for their chicken wings which are great in either buffalo or Asian flavors. Beer bottle specials on Tuesdays, and in addition to the wings they make a great Philly steak sandwich, and quality bar burgers. Karaoke is usually going twice a week (call ahead to see which nights, which can change). read more

I love this place. You've got it all: customers' Harley pics on the walls, Nascar light fixtures, amatuer karaoke... It's like a dream come true! The food was pretty good if you're in the mood for bar food, and the owner/waiter/grillman is always on his feet working hard; good guy. Update: on a recent visit with my dear mum, we had the best time. It's almost like we were transported into the backwoods of Texas (do they have woods?) with the biker chicks and football game playing in the background. How can I resist?? read more

More than I expected. The staff was very friendly. Clean bar with massive wings and good beer. Can't say enough about how friendly the staff was. read more

Older crowd but super fun vibe and wings. The crowd may be older but they definitely know how to have a good time with some beers and wings. It was nice being with that older crowd because they are so kind. Loved enjoying a cold one, the game, and some fun rowdy kids! read more

This place is quickly turning into our go-to. It is absolutely amazing - such an awesome, relaxed atmosphere, and all the food is delicious. They don't have anything fancy on the menu, which makes it even more attractive because the staples such as cheeseburger and wings are done to perfection. Their french toast is to die for, too. I hope they don't change, because they're doing a great job! read more

All hail the mighty Cedar! Well o.k. maybe not all, just a few of you back there in the back. The Cedar is a neighborhood bar in every sense. Greasy ass god knows what on the menus and pictures of people sitting on there various choppers, bobbers, fatboys, & sportsters line the ceilings. The jukebox is as vanilla as it comes. There are pulltabs. And "Bagz" the arcade game in the corner. You know the game where you try to throw bean bags into a whole on a slanted platform? Yea that, only in video game form! All in all the Cedar is that bar that your parents would take you to after their softball game. Cheap beer, good folks, & bar food. read more

I love townie bars. Any place with at least one old guy in a legitimately vintage mesh hat and satin jacket at the bar at 9 AM is A-OK with me. Come for the giant mutant chicken wings and tots. Stay for the Bagz. read more

I love Cedar Inn. The wings are humungous and to die for. I definitely recommend the Asian sauce wings, which are very tasty. This is a great place to grab a beer, and a quick bite to eat, and it has a very friendly atmosphere. Once again: try the wings. read more

Cedar In Great food Good beer Good prices Nothing better to ask for ..... Go and try the broasted chicken or the wings- it is a hit every time read more

Wanted to love this place so badly given I live right down the street. Every time I go there the beer is cheap and the wings are amazing, but I hate that they've gotten rid of the dart board (even though it didn't work half the time) and replaced it with some spider man punching machine. Really? I'd love to see an old school bar with old school games that don't involve pretending I'm a superhero. Also the place can be awkwardly quiet if no one is pumping money into the juke box. read more

This is a solid, simple neighborhood bar: no bells and whistles needed. The place isn't nearly dilapidated or dirty enough for me to call it a dive. I'll have to go with the other review which more aptly describes it as an "old school bar" where the crowd tends be older as well. The happy hour is good and they have double shots of sake for $5.50, which seems out of place considering the locale, so of course I had to get that. I think the bartenders there have a totally different definition of what constitutes a ""shot" because what I got was a big red dixie cup filled pretty much halfway with sake. Add a pint of primo on the side and that'll get you there. The wings looked delish too, but my tummy was already full of pupusa from next door. read more

Super friendly, personable staff. Highly recommend. Great specials daily. Give 'em a try!

Dive bar. Friendly locals. Beer selection is plenty good. Grill menu is plenty good. I'll be back!

Kinda a "is what it is" sorta place. Fancies itself a biker bar but I think those days have passed...wings are pretty decent.

this is my neighborhood dive and I love it! we live 2 blocks away and one of my fav things to do after work in the summer is grab the man and the dogs and walk over for pitches outside at the picnic tables. The beer is cheap and cold, the staff could not be more amazing, and the other patrons are always friendly and fun. they love our pups and always bring out water for them, and usually a treat or two. we love that they have the frozen core pitchers to keep the beer cold on hot days. the wings are delicious, and HUGE!! none of those puny little one-bite wings here, these are the real deal chicken wings. dont often go inside, but hear the silver strike machine is good times! read more

Want to sit in with the "regulars" for a beer at a place that fits the bill but no more? Want to sit outside in front and watch the busy life of Cedar Avenue? You are looking for a place that you don't have to powder up to go to when you want to be spontaneous and grab your friend for a meet-ya-in-10-minutes beer? I challenge any other place to match the perfection of their BUFFALO WINGS. Seriously, if you love them GO TO CEDAR INN now! You will love 'em I promise. All else is your every day average bar food, but still hit's the spot. Friendly down to earth service. Oh yeah, ice cold mugs too. My only true complaint is the climate is just never right nor is the volume of the jukebox. read more

Love the divey atmosphere. I went in here super hungover one Sunday for the Vikings game and it was just what I needed. The regulars were rowdy and really into the game. The staff was excellent and so nice. Our food was delicious. The Philly cheese steak and burgers were large, greasy and in charge along with the hand cut fries. Most importantly if you stop in be sure to try the jumbo chicken wings they are amazing! read more

The wings are outstanding!! Live this place! Friendly service and people!!! I come here as often as I can.

Good food. Love the tacos on wed. When they have them. Very friendly and fast service.

The wings are amazing. Must try the Asian Zing. The wings were so huge that 3 people couldn't finish 1 dozen. Great hidden secret.

Saturday night. Not our first time eating here. The sign on the side of the building indicated 'new owners' and should have been our first clue. Definitely understaffed, or something. Many people coming in to order and picking up orders. Even with social distancing, every table was filled. The service was very slow. We ordered burger baskets, nothing fancy or special. I'm trying to be patient because we are in a different world these days. An hour later we finally received our food. Fries were less than half done. The burger's, supposedly 1/3 lb were much smaller than the bun, which has never been the case in past experiences. Server never came back. Had to go to the bar to get salt and pepper and tell the server that the fries weren't done. 10 minutes later the cook brought us more fries that were perfect. All in all, I was disappointed, however, the hamburger and 2nd set of fries tasted amazing! read more

This place is great! The wings are awesome the Asian wings are my fav!! HAVE TO TRY THEM OUT! A cheap ice cold bottle beer for 3.50 can't beat that! Also friendly staff. Weezie is her nick name I believe, she is so awesome! !!! read more

Love the wings and cheap beer! Buck hunter, golden tee, and pull tabs......what worse does a guy need!

Was super happy to find Broasted Chicken in the cities. Ordered seasoned wings which came out with a thick coating of heavy spice. I like seasoned wings but you couldn't see the chicken and when we picked up a wing, the seasoning fell off in clumps. I also like domestic tap. The beer was so flat it tasted like cider. Disappointed but the crowd was great. Local hangout. Not recommended or buy bottle beer and eat a burger. read more

I went on a Tuesday, and it was a cool, even-keel, nice crowd. The jukebox was playing mostly country music, but good country, including some original Hank Williams. The bartender could not have been more friendly while still being a pro. I had a half-order of chicken wings, and they were the largest wings I've ever eaten, and they were delicious, too. And, get this: I had four Miller High Lifes ($1.50 every night), the wings, a half-order of fresh-cut fries (also very good), and my bill was $16. That's tough to beat. It's not a big place, seats maybe 10 at the bar, a few tables in the middle, and about 5 table/booths along the back wall. But's a good place to go. read more

If you're looking for cold beer, delicious food, and a warm friendly atmosphere, this is the spot. The staff is very friendly and provided great service. This is a great local neighborhood watering hole. The head chef, Tim, makes a wonderful home cooked breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The food was great and the portions were huge. I will make sure to stop back in here next time I'm in the area. read more

If I could give this "establishment" zero stars I would. I've been here once before but after I witnessed an employee go out of his way to come into another restaurant and extremely rudely (and under the instructions of his boss) harass a delivery driver who did not see the sign that the area he parked in was for the business only I will not be returning. It was clearly a simple and honest mistake made by the delivery driver who mind you is literally only parked for less than 5 minutes. The restaurant wasn't even busy and the lot was empty except for 3 cars. This could have been handled much better and the rudeness of the employee and his boss was extremely uncalled for. read more
