Great spot breakfast spot with good sized portions. We showed up here (from out of town) on a random Sunday morning in March. This place was most definitely busy with I' guessing was mostly locals (which tells you you're in the right place). Getting seated was confusing, there was no hostess (on this day) and people that arrived after us would cut ahead, but perhaps they were meeting someone. The wait was worth it however. The Country Breakfast skillet was enough for two people to share, and our busy server did her best to check in on us. Would most definitely return. read more

See all

I had the Club sandwich today and my husband had the Hash brown special! Everything this locally family owned restaurant has on the menu is excellent! We go weekly and love it all and the patio bar and indoor seating is amazing with the tvs for sports! read more

Seriously ? Anyone can open a bag of romaine lettuce, dump a ton of bottled Caesar salad sauce on it, throw on half a dozen croutons and 6 tasteless prawns and charge $14.99 for it ? Unimpressed. My husband has always raved about this restaurant but I am not a fan of eating out since Covid-19 so we ordered take-out. He says his burger and fries were good, if that's any consolation. My Caesar salad was NOT. Next time he wants a burger and fries, I'll have a Michelina's dinner in the microwave, and be much happier, thank you. Terrible excuse for a Caesar salad. Not even a side of garlic bread ? Wow, just wow. read more

Had a very nice dinner here. Nothing fancy just good comfort food. Service was fantastic, very friendly wait staff. Old time Diner food, large portions. Will come back again. read more

Had the bacon cheese burger, was really good with steak fries. Wife had pancake special, she said was good and was plenty of food.

BEST. BREAKFAST. EVER! My husband and I stopped in Cedar's for breakfast on our way back to Seattle on a recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed! My husband ordered the waffle and he likes his a little on the crispy side...PERFECT! I ordered the French toast with eggs and link sausage and it was the best French toast I've ever had! Orange was delicious and coffee always hot read more

I came on a Wednesday night and I was not disappointed. I had the chicken fried steak which was enough for two people. I washed it down with a white trash which is a drink Matty invented. It was just what I needed. read more

Asa always, my burger last night was great! In truth, I've never had a bad new, here in the last fifteen years. BUT my wife's salad last night was pitiful! See her separate review, Adrienne C. Shame to spoil a perfect record... read more

Love this place for breakfast. Sorry never went for dinner but I've been going for over 20yrs. The best place.

Great place for brunch. Quite busy on a Sunday morning but well worth the wait. Waitresses were very nice and food was well prepared.

Hands down best food in Ferndale. If you are within 20 miles of the place I would say make the trip and go visit. Make sure to try the "I love breakfast" burger. The bar is a great place to watch the games and meet some good small town folk. Everyone is very welcoming and kind. Shuffle board and darts in the bar can make for a fun night as well. read more

Favorite place to eat in Ferndale portions are huge and the food is always amazing (not a big fan of the Philly but hey, they can't all be winners) staff is usually very attentive even if it's busy read more

Food = Delicious Service = Amazing Drinks = Tasty Overall Experience = A+ I went up here with a few of friends. First we ate in the restaurant and the food/service was awesome. The waitress was super nice (and cute) and always made sure we were happy! Great breakfast food! After we ate we headed up to the bar. There were two bartenders working, one girl and one guy. The girls I was with though the guy was super cute and I would say the same about the girl! ;-) We ordered a round of drinks. Not only do they make them for you, but they'll bring them out to you! Talk about service! The prices were the best that I saw that night and the drinks were really good. We tried a round of shots that I cannot say the name of on here and another jagerbomb-esk shot where you drop the shot in. They were delicious! Bar has TVs playing. We watched the end of the Mariners game and sportscenter... Can't complain there! All in all I was very happy with the place and would go back for sure. Too bad it's so far north and not downtown! read more

This is great american diner breakfast food. The breakfast sausage is a premium product, perfectly cooked, just a little fat to get the right mouth feel and the dense meaty texture is professional. The biscuits, although tasty and perfectly cooked, are a bit cakey and not flaky enough for my taste, and the gravy is a work of art. The portions are huge so either share it or dont eat anything else for the day. This is everything good about breakfast and the servers were great too. It was a nice touch that the attached bar in the next room had a good crowd of drinkers at 9:30 am on a Saturday. read more

Well as I write this it's taken about an hour just to get our food so can't comment on food quality sadly. Well the food finally arrived well most of it anyway. I can't believe it took so long for country fried steak and hash brown sandwich. Even after the server came and said that something had gone wrong with our order and it will be a little longer, omg I could have cooked it myself in the time it took. But to be fair the food was pretty good though read more

Got a take out from them and it was awesome. The steak sandwich was one of a kind and the rib eye steak sandwich and turkey and avocado sandwich were delicious. The steak fries were amazing too. If I'm in the area I will definitely come back to this place. read more

Breakfast good staff friendly usually busy stay in the front the bar sucks when it comes to food and service

As a lover of breakfast this place is excellent, I cannot speak to the lunches or dinners cause I always get breakfast food. The amount of orders the staff juggles is impressive and the food always comes out piping hot for me. read more

Well it looked like a great place to grab a lunch today! We were seated almost immediately and given drinks and our order taken. 30 minutes later no food. Then I notice that the 3 families that were seated well after us were being served their food. Wait another 10 minutes, still no service so we walked out and all we got was an "oh sorry" when we mentioned it to the waitress by the register. This is no way to run a business in a small town! read more

We stopped at Cedar's during our way back from Vancouver down to Seattle and it was just the perfect little stop. It was my first time in Ferndale and I was enamored by the enchanting feel of the little city. Cedar's fits right in with the typical "Old-American-Feel" of the town. We ordered a burger and a french dip sandwich. Both were great and there were so many choices to choose from that you honestly can't say there isn't something for everyone. The price is also perfect and you'll feel right at home with how friendly everyone is. We did have some trouble getting our waitress' attention, even though it was not a busy time of day. Other servers helped us out so we appreciated that. Don't expect that you're going to a "trendy" shop or that you're going to have food deserving of three Michelin stars. Cedar's is a true mom and pop place and that's exactly the type of comfort food you're going to get--which is just perfect in its own way! read more

Every thing was okay. We were glad to support a local restaurant. There was plenty of food and the service was excellent and she paid good attention to us read more

Top notch breakfast. Best restaurant breakfast I have ever had. My girlfriend and I are regulars. Staff is very nice and on top of it. Haven't stayed in the bar for long but the bartender always seems nice. Other food is good too. Aside from one chicken sandwich i had that had alot of grissle. One waitress mixed up my order one time and Ididn't care but she noticed the mistake and she removed it from our bill. Very friendly and great vibe. read more

Had to come up to the area early so stopped for breakfast. Saw on Yelp this was a great place. Everything was ok but not great. Service was slow and it wasn't crowded at all. Would I recommend ot or come back. No read more

So sad their best server is gone ! Tough place to work- no help on the floor to clear tables , clean bathrooms,and a cook who is disrespectful to his staff when he gets the order wrong. read more

This restaurant has the best breakfast, hands down. Large portions, great food, good coffee, Lilly, Cathy, Amanda, and the team are wonderful. Best little hole in the wall. I would give 5 stars except it could be cleaner and better kept, and sometimes it takes a while to get your food, however it is worth the wait. Support local businesses. This one is worth supporting!! read more

I wanted to like this place since I love local diners. However, while the service was friendly, it was slow despite the restaurant being half full. The ambience is a bit gritty and the food is hit or miss. My omelette was pretty bad: lots of grease and over cooked eggs. My husband's burger was solid though. Honestly I'd rather go to IHOP. read more

Cedar's was suggested by motel staff as being the best restaurant in town, so we tried it and it was indeed quite good. I had ribs and my wife had wings and Mac and cheese. Everything tasty and fresh. Very nice wait staff too. read more

When I lived in the area I liked eating here. Visited Ferndale tonight, glad to see Cedar's still in business. Decent food and service. If you are looking to eat in Ferndale, Cedar's in a good choice. read more

Stopped there on a Sunday morning. Service was great even though they were very busy. I ordered the Pioneer Skillet. It was very good and much more than I could eat. You could order this for 2 people and both leave full. I get to Ferndale pretty often and I'll eat here again read more

This review is for the lounge attached to the restaurant, which is located in the back of the restaurant, entrance is on another street. We tried this place twice, first time we weren't that impressed, no place to sit, drab surroundings, very unfriendly bartender. Ok , well maybe an 'off' night, so we decided we'd give it another try. The second time around was worse because we actually made the mistake of ordering drinks. My guy's beer was warm, and myself and my sister's drink order of a higher end brand name rum, was definitely NOT what we ordered. I'm not sure what's going on in this place but I get the feeling they are not above board. When we returned the horrible tasting drinks (think bathtub rum), the bartender gave a snotty "just to let you know I gave you what you ordered" comment. The only thing I can say is they didn't charge us for the bathtub rum drinks, probably because they realized we knew (and so did they) it was NOT what we ordered. Well needless to say we will definitely not return, never, ever. There are plenty of much much better places to go who serve what you ask for without the attitude. This place sucks, big time. read more

Honestly, a 4.5/5... but it's still wonderful! It's not fast food, but they aren't slow either. Had a delicious spicy chicken philly. Just enough heat with the jalapeños to keep it hot, but not overpowering. The steak fries were well seasoned and cooked all the way through. Great service for it being New Year's Day and very crowded at lunch. read more

Tosay,I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. I will be returning to Cedar's Restaurant and Lounge soon, hungry for more.#luv4breakfast read more

Cedar's Restaurant & Lounge - Bars Near Me - Ferndale, Washington

Being new in the area, the hubs and I decided to try Cedar's for a casual dinner. It's on Main Street and the parking is street. I don't know if you can park behind it but there was street parking and we took it. The diner is very rustic/vintage in the decor. We sat down in a booth and looked at the menu. There is counter seating along with booth & tables from 2 tops to tables for 6-8. We ordered local brews and made our choices. Egg Rolls to start. While considering dinner, several plates were brought out and the food looked delicious and plentiful. I settled on the 2 piece Fish & Chips, you can choose skinny fries or steak fries-I chose steak. Hubs ordered the Meatloaf, mashed potatoes & steamed veggies with brown gravy. The Egg Rolls were really good and looked and tasted freshly made-SCORE! The citrus sauce was also tasty. On to the entrees. The fish fillets were HUGE and the beer batter perfect! Steak fries are pretty much the same everywhere. The tartar sauce was homemade and really good. The meatloaf was described as two slices--WRONG! More like two SLABS of meatloaf seasoned like Mama's with brown gravy. The potatoes were fresh mashed, with chunks of potatoes and buttery. The veggies were good and seasoned well--so good that he actually ate most of them. Nothing fancy here just good home cooking at a good price. We want to come back for breakfast because they offer country fried steak with eggs! That will be for another day when we go exploring. read more

I used to come here with my grandparents when I was young. I joined the military and moved away and the quality of food has not changed in 20 years. Still an amazing place for breakfast read more

I've been here 4-5 times this month with all the action going on in town. Great food all times including appetizers, breakfast, lunch and of course drinks. Friendly staff and fairly quick service even when really busy read more

Cedars breakfasts are awesome. Biscuits and Gravy is the best in the county. The entire menu gives great portions for the prices.

One of my favorite places. I order from here at least once a week. Good food and large variety. Love them

Sad old place, decent food. Cedar's is essentially the only game in town when looking for diner food in Ferndale. It's not horrible, but it's not great either, it's just....OK. Food seems to take forever, even when they're not busy. On the plus side, burgers are some of the best I've had in Whatcom County. Thankfully, new options are starting to crop up in downtown Ferndale: Al's Downtown Diner across the street and New Mexico Tamale Company on Third Avenue. Al's is new and set to open soon, so I haven't tried them yet, but New Mexico Tamale Company is awesome!! As the Bellingham bubble continues to expand, folks are getting used to newer and more modern offerings. Unless Cedar's steps up their game, I think they'll get left behind. read more

The waitress right now is disgustingly rude with no manners. Sad that young workers have such a low bar for themselves, never reaching out of the gutter to do better or treat people with respect. She just walks around and cusses other employees and the work environment, dropping f bombs. When I tried to ask her to stop, she laughed at me and said, "thanks for the advice" and "whatever." It is clear from the other employees around her that this is a toxic work environment when she is at work. Customers just stared in disbelief as she cussed other people in conversation, especially in the back kitchen. The other employees seemed nice and the food was ok, but this was one of the worse customer service experiences I've ever experienced, as she has zero regard for those around her. Maybe management isn't reading the customer service reviews in the past? I sent them an email, hope they fix their historic issue of bad customer service. Also, you should train your staff to mention hidden charges and up-charges to the customer before they get surprises on their ticket. read more

Been quite a few times for brunch or lunch. Great friendly staff (keep in mind the waitresses must host, wait, bus, AND wash all of their tables.) Great food. read more
