Looking for a no-nonsense breakfast spot? This place is worth a look. I've been coming here almost since they opened this location. Most of their clientele and the people who introduced me to Cedars have been going for much much longer. Prices: Bargain low. Food style: Classic breakfast diner. Portions: Large. Very classic breakfast diner menu options. I like the chicken fried steak breakfast. I always go eggs sunny side up, hash browns, and toast. You can also order most items as a dinner but let me tell you. The portions are large and its easy to hurt yourself as most dishes are made in a classic heavy way. They do have lighter options but I've always stuck with the classics. read more

I just have a hard time loving this place. My grandpa loved it, my Dad loves it, but it's just a typical greasy spoon. The food is alright and for the price it's fine, but if I'm going to go out to eat I want something that I can't make at home. Everything they make I can make myself. read more

Cedars is a local hang out spot that serves large portions of food for an inexpensive price. The food is not that great (just decent). I have no qualms for going here but I would not make a trip myself for this place. read more

I am a hearty eater (not at all picky), I like greasy spoons, and I do not have a sensitive stomach. That said, I went Cedars for lunch and was queasy all afternoon. The place is small and doesn't seem very clean. I had a turkey club - it tasted funny and there was way too much mayo on it. I didn't eat very much of the sandwich, and instead opted for the bag of chips that came with it. My friend ordered a salad with poppy seed dressing on the side, and they brought her a soup-bowl full of dressing. read more

Had breakfast there and I would give it zero stars if I could. I ordered French Toast, and it was the thinnest French Toast I've ever had and it looked and tasted like they used wheat bread to make it. My friend ordered eggs and sausage, and she was unhappy with her meal as well. Also, although our main server wore a mask the entire time she served us, another server (who refreshed our coffee, etc.) had a mask on, but had it placed below her bottom lip so her nose and mouth were completely exposed. What's the point of wearing a mask if it doesn't cover your nose and mouth? We were at the restaurant about an hour, and by the time we left, none of the servers were wearing masks. Where's the concern for their customer's safety? Needless to say, we won't be going back! read more

A consistent all around good Cafe Friday night ribs or catfish is excellent. The burgers are cheaper and better than any fast food out there. read more

Have only eaten breakfast here and it is superb. Me and my husband go on the weekends and have never been disappointed. We get the breakfast special which is 2 eggs, a large piece of ham, hash browns or grits and toast or biscuits and gravy. The portions are large and obviously homemade. My husband loves the biscuits and sausage gravy but the biscuits are a little heavy for me. Not that they aren't great and like my grandmothers but I can't eat all my plate plus two large biscuits and gravy as well. When you get there, seat yourself. The tables are all shared and the guest are usually very friendly. We have met a lot of good people by sharing a table. read more

Usually I am pleased with my meals at Cedars South. Today was a different story. I ordered the ribeye steak and am I ever sorry. I had maybe 6 bites that wasn't filled with gristle. Probably the worst meal ever that I have eaten out. I left at least two thirds of the steak on the plate and told the waitress. The waitress took my plate to show the cook. I wasn't offered a discount on the meal. I was offered something in replacement which I declined because it was at the end of the meal and I had my stomach full on mashed potatoes, slaw and a dinner roll. I don't know if I will ever go back again. My wife had a chicken breast a while back which was so dry that she wasn't able to eat it. read more

Takes few words to review this place, Great food, good service. Most severs are very good but there are two that talk so much that they forget to get your food. I don't sit on the far north wall where the tall sever works week days. read more

Ordered burgers for take out and so glad I did! Great flavorful burger and crisp crinkle style french fries. Thank you for staying open to serve during these trying times! read more

I never have issues with food except when I eat at Cedars. Great price but question the cleanliness of the kitchen.

You get a lot of food for a really cheap price around 6 dollars. The environment is elderly and I am younger but it is worth it for the food. The veggie omelet is the best. read more

Best hangover cure in Springfield MO. Their impeccable service and over the top hospitality will make me and everyone I know come back.

Walked in at 8:15 pm - observed the "please wait to be seated" sign. Stood for over 5 minutes without a single acknowledgement & left. There were 3 tables with customers who already had food, one couple was waiting to pay their check but no cashier available. Worst customer service I've ever seen. Need a manager on duty every hour they are open or new management altogether. read more

Solid breakfast. Classic, no-frills breakfast menu. Toast was burnt. But, I could have gotten the same food or better at Waffle House (along with better service). read more

First time here in several years. I got burned on a few dinners here, but the breakfast has always been solid. I recommend the breakfast but that is all. Service was really good and the food was much better than I expected. Great prices also, much cheaper than Village Inn. read more

We've been there three times and each time was wonderful. Monday through Saturday have special that includes eggs and a breakfast meat for that day. Today I had the Cedars hash browns. Cheese, tomatoes, peppers, ham and potatoes. It filled the plate and was wonderful. Included an English muffin. Consistant food and service. This is a place you want to eat. Not only for breakfast. Open until 8 each day but only until 2 on Sunday. It is our go to restaurant and lots of parking. read more

Great home cooked meals at really low prices. Huge portions. We go there a lot for breakfast and dinner. Its about as basic as you get, no frills. But food doesn't get any better. The place locals go for breakfast. Try it! Best coffee around and the staff makes you feel at home. read more

My family and I had the worst experience there because of a waitress named Shawna M made us wait 30min to even take our order so I left ,then found out she waited on another table before she even took the orders of my family that remained to eat . She slammed a drink down and almost spilling it on my wife and was just truly rude and unprofessional and feel she should not have a job waiting on people with that attitude . I highly suggest not going to this place to eat for the food is not that great, the staff are rude and unprofessional , and the past 2 times we ate there we all felt sick after words ,So unless you like being treated like crap ,have crappy service ,and sub pare food I would stay clear of this place as a place to eat. read more

My husband and I go to Cedar' South a lot. We love it there. We love the food, and we love the wait staff. In particular, we love Jeneta. She is a total hoot, takes great care of her customers, and always has a smile on her face. We have the Daily specials, sandwiches, breakfast, steaks, whatever fits the bill for that day. I love breakfast; my husband loves the French dip. My grand-daughter always orders the "Ham Breakfast" with ham, eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit and gravy. Did I say that you get a LOT of food? You get a LOT of food! Oh, and if you have room, they have great pies and cobbler. Yummy! Sometime I am going to go in and just order two pieces of pie for my meal. Calories! read more

First of all, this is a amazing diner, great food, good atmosphere, nice staff, the whole package. This was my first job, I worked in the dish pit cleaning dishs. The kitchen is clean, everything is cleaned at the end of the day so it's spotless. Everything is restocked daily and the owner is in his office every day. The floors are sweeped and cleaned every day, the bathrooms are cleaned everyday, and the whole entire staff try there hardest to get people's orders in ASAP. The cooks keep there hands clean, as well as the waiters. Trust me when I say this is a amazing family diner and I recommend it to anyone. read more

What can I say? I love good Chicken Fried Steak. The problem is at 90% of places that serve it do a severe injustice to the Grandma version that I love. But not here. Although I can't speak on the rest of the menu, that dish alone gets five stars from me. read more

Had dinner here on New years eve. Really good food. I had the chicken fried steak. Best Ive ever had!!! Only cost $5.99. Amazing!! Watress also one of the best Ive had. Will be a place we continue to eat!!! read more

The server put our silverware down and a roach climbed out of my wrapped silver ware..I trapped it under my water glass as I had nothing to kill it with...showed it to our server... not one apology from anyone or even an offer to give us free coffee or breakfast. ..Im in the customer service myself and will make it known never to go there.. read more

I have never been here before, but met a friend there for breakfast. This place has been here for a while and it has its regular clientele, and yes its pretty busy. Staff are very polite, and very friendly. This place is older, but very clean. I can drink coffee like no one's business and they have really good coffee. I had the chicken fried steak, hash brown, and toast. Their breakfast and the food was very good and plenty of it. Trust me you won't go away hungry. The price is really reasonable no complaints there. I will visit here again. read more

This place has the most discusting wait staff I have ever seen. No manager presence and the service line is in view of many guest. Problem begins with everyone eating at waitress station. This is ok I guess but not one of them while eating toast bothered to wash their hands before handling breads and rolls for guest. Then one older woman with black hair actually licked her fingers after eating and immediately went to feeding bread in the toaster. Won't be back . read more

I wonder, after reading other reviews, if we all ate at the same place. Cedars is Fantastic! I have never had a rude waitress, or burnt breakfast. A couple years ago, Cedars on Campbell was having some issues with food taking too long and then arriving cool. Not great for eggs. Then we noticed more management on the floor, and the problem resolved itself. Food is great, inexpensive, and downhome. The Cedar Hashbrowns are my ultimate LOVE-IT Sunday breakfast food! read more

Good, basic, cheap dinner/coffee shop fare. Dinner specials are posted nightly and are really reasonable. Breakfasts are hardy and actually cost a little more than some of the dinner specials. (I know, go figure!) I know they don't make everything fresh; their nightly vegetable of the day obviously comes from a can. Well, I ate canned veggies most of my childhood so it actually brings back homey memories for me. They also serve a good burger and club sandwich, always on the menu, in case the specials don't thrill you. Odd that they charge a little extra for a baked potato, which is about the simplest thing in the world to make. But other than that... 4 stars. read more
