Came here with a girlfriend on our work break. we decided to sit at the bar for food and drinks. i like casual and comfy vibe in here. We both ordered the hot lobster roll with steak fries and it did not disappoint! The lobster roll was warm, delicious and perfectly cooked. I loved it! After that we got some martinis i chose the espresso martini with baileys and it was very good! Taste just like a starbucks cappuccino with a punch. Im impressed with the service here i would come back again read more

Delicious. We had a fabulous meal. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere outstanding. The biggest reason for this review was our server--Pamela. An absolute GEM. Aside from being very attentive and knowledgeable, she offered wonderful recommendations, and her personality could NOT have been any better. She made our night just wonderful. Thank you, Pamela!!! read more

Before COVID19: So the only reason we came to Cedars, was because we had a gift card. It was a little over priced for us (and especially while being in a casino). Our servers name was Wayne, he was not only nice and funny but he could basically read our minds and was willing to accommodate us with our gift card and make it the best experience we could have while we were there. We split a bunch of Apps and got a few drinks, overall a good experience. read more

Richard is amazing! Great service at the bar. I will 100% be back. We ordered the lobster roll which was fresh, crisp and delicious. We also ordered a ribeye. We split the two dishes, they even cut our roll in half for us and presented it so it was easy to share. Deborah as the other bartender was extra sweet also. It's nice to see people who enjoy working together as a team. The service is exceptional here, highly recommend! read more

Cedars used to be an elegant steakhouse with beautiful ambiance, lots of mahogany wood and nice lighting. The decor has changed so much, the entrance now includes a food court type dining area, awful first impression. The steaks are not as good as they used to be, yet the prices are high. The grilled salmon on a plank is very good, great raspberry butter and cranberry rolls, excellent prime rib sandwich if you can get it lean. My Caesar Salad contained mostly brownish romaine lettuce, unacceptable! Great crisp cold shrimp cocktail! And the best, accommodating server is Ryan, (tall, thin, light hair) such good customer service skills. read more

My husband and I took my sister and her husband to Cedars for lunch on her birthday. We did not complain at the time because it was her birthday but wow!, was it horrible and over-priced to say the least! My sis and I got the lobster roll that had 4 unseasoned, un buttered knuckles in a huge grilled hotdog roll w inedible string fries that were cold. My husband ordered the steak (which also came w those nasty cheap fries) medium well. What he received was a small burnt steak that he could barely cut through. The only person that had an ok lunch was my brother in law with the shaved steak sandwich! Save yourself $200.00 and just get the pizza in the food court!! I know the pandemic has taken a toll on restaurants but this was a huge rip off. We are NEVER going back. read more

Nice Steakhouse located in the Foxwoods Casino. We booked this for a large party dinner. They offered us a very reasonable price for 4 courses, of which 3 had to be the same for everyone. We did French Onion Soup, Caesar Salad, Entree, and a Chocolate cake. The staff was very helpful in setting it up. The meal had plenty of food, and everything was done very well. I had a medium pork chop, and they got it just right. Soup, salad and the cake were also good. One minor quibble is a difference between two Old Fashioneds I ordered. One was perfect, the other not so much. Probably two different bartenders made it. Still a very good meal. read more

Totally disappointed. There were no vegetarian options except sides, I settled for mash potatoes. There was vegetarian burgers but only serving for lunch. The drinks weren't great I order watermelon cucumber drink and the drink was full of artificial watermelon flavoring. This place has a great decor and state of the arts seating pad for the hostess to use. However the good and drinks were way under my expectations for the price. Think of a high end Golden Corral. read more

Great bar service! I ordered a dozen oysters in the variety they had available. They were amazingly fresh and very clean. No grit or sand and lots of the briney liquid maintained. The prime rib was next and it was as expected. Tender and flavorful. Well seasoned and not overly salty like some from other establishments. The dip was hot! Nothing is worse than dipping into lukewarm juice. Not here the hot liquid was a perfect and a great compliment. I asked to sub the potato with asparagus and they happily obliged at no extra charge. Very nice! read more

I really liked this place for an option in the Casino. More upscale vibe sure but also without being too formal if you didn't want to. Has 2 sections. The lounge which has like small tapas and plates (we ate here) and the bar section, and then the more formal dining room with the more expensive lobster and plates. I went with a friend for a girls night and ended up sharing oysters, the poke tostados, and the steak salad. Awesome flavors in the tostados and good oysters. The waiter split up the salad for us and it was just enough food and not too expensive of a bill! Would def go again! read more

As far as eating at Foxwoods there isn't much available. There is a standard buffet which is average. They have Dunkin' Donuts and a chinese bakery and a food court. This steakhouse is great. Good prices. Great lobster bisque The bread they give in the breadbasket is assorted and a treat. Comes with strawberry butter and regular butter. So good All the entrees are good. They will even split an entree in two plates for you Better than New York prices Friendly service read more

Don't waste your money on overpriced steaks. Just look at my pictures. Way Overcooked green beans, steak was tasteless (had to keep adding salt/pepper). Drinks are ok. Knives were dirty, had them changed twice. Service was great can't blame the waiter for the crappy food. How can a $48 steak be served with those green beans! read more

Cedars Steaks & Oysters - Over cooked green beans and tasteless prime rib. - Steakhouses Near Me - Mashantucket, Connecticut

Poor quality products taste-wise during happy hour,. Inconsistent overall menu tasting food. Nice bartenders and good servers though. And a cool half off wine Monday's. I would recommend keeping it simple and trying the bacon burger with your choice side. Blue cheese chx salad also a good choice. Update: the burgers have gotten much better again and the staff is awesome. read more

Decent food. Not amazing and not bad. Good all around and has a delicious steak sandwich. Decor could could use a little freshening up as this is one of their oldest restaurants. read more

Great meal, exceptional service. The staff went out of their way to make my husband's birthday a memorable experience. Our favorite restaurant at Foxwoods without a doubt. read more

My husband and I planned our trip back to Cedars for our engagaversary. We had the most amazing experience! We were amazed at how large the beef carpaccio appetizer was. They recommended a rib app, that my husband can't stop thinking about. Thank you so much Cedars! read more

First off, I don't write reviews, but this restaurant needed this critique. I've been a patron here since it opened, always enjoyed lunches at the bar with a couple dozen shrimp, crab cakes and drinks and other times dinner in the restaurant. I recently went, Monday and Tuesday closed. Wednesday stopped in to book a reservation for 7 PM for dinner. At the host desk, a male and a female employee, can't do 7, but have 6:45 or 7:15 PM. Great, 7:15 it will be. BTW, the gentleman's name was Mike/Michael. We arrive at 7:10..........the entire restaurant is empty with 3 tables occupied in the main dining room a 1 person at the bar. As we seemed to be a bother to him, he seated us in the last table next to the door going to the food court. As stated in opening a don't do reviews or complain but the entire meal from start to finish was horrendous, from the bloody mary on. The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were still gray and translucent. The only saving grace to this waste of money meal was the waitress, Caroline, personable and accommodating. If I were her I would leave her present employ and work at David Burke's Prime. She did remove the shrimp which I asked her not to, but did. She made the dinner more manageable and for that she received a 50% gratuity. It's time for Foxwoods/Cedars to change up their facility especially their front of house host followed by their kitchen. Again, I don't do this but the case warranted it. read more

Stopped here for dinner after a show at around 9:45pm. Had a reservation it took about 4 minutes to be seated because the hostess was busy chatting and laughing with her co worker about some "guy". Staff needs to be a little more professional and wait until you have nothing to do before you gossip. We were then seated and promptly greeted by our waiter. Ordering was quick and didn't take long at all. I ordered braised short ribs over mashed potato and my guest ordered the sword fish with a side of corn. The corn was delicious, it was fresh off the cob prepared in a dish with seasonings. It was excellent. My short rib was decisions and the potatoes were smooth and had a lot of texture and flavor. The only thing that could of been a little better was the temperature of the food could of been a little hotter. Other than that the bill came out to $117 for two plus tip. Pricy but it is the casino. read more

One of the worst overall dining experiences that my wife and I ever had. We were at Foxwoods to see Jerry Seinfeld. We made a 4:30 PM reservation through the Foxwoods web site (it was the earliest available). When we arrived we were told that our table wasn't ready and were directed to a waiting area where we waited for 15 minutes without further contact from any restaurant employee. Losing patience, we finally inquired about when the table would be ready and were told (for the first time) that the restaurant wouldn't open until 5:00 PM and that there were no seats available. When we complained we were ushered to a "lounge" area and told we could eat from a limited menu and were assured the food was from the same kitchen. We sat, and then waited 10 minutes until we saw a waiter. We ordered, the waitress seemed to disappear, the mushroom appetizer arrived in an uneatable condition, the prime rib was of little taste, and they never brought the lime for my wife's drink for which she had repeatedly asked. There's more but it's depressing..... read more

This place used to be great, I have no idea what happened. My sister ordered a fillet cooked medium that was servered as a hockey puck and inedible. I ordered a strip steak medium that was also very overcooked and unbelievably tough. The scallop appetizer was so over cooked I took one bite and didn't eat the rest and I prefer my scallops well done ( a sin, I know) but these were just burnt, hard as rocks and awful. The green beans were cooked strange, some were overcooked and some were nearly raw, it was strange. My husband had the lobster roll and was happy with it but did say the bun was too large. One other person in our party had the ribeye and said it was good. The drinks and service were very good but the food was a no go for sure. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for Vday this year. It was just okay. Nothing special. I ordered the surf and turf.. He had the porterhouse. I asked for medium well steak.. it came out rare. When I asked for it to be cooked some more, they brought me a burnt steak. My boyfriend asked for his porterhouse well done, they brought it medium. As for taste.. my steak was so burnt I couldnt enjoy it. My boyfriend's steak was fine, not great. We also ordered the mac and cheese, which in my opinion was a bit runny. Ceasar salad was good (but how can you get that wrong?!). I must say though their French Onion Soup is the best I've ever had .. EVER!! It might just be me but if I'm paying over $200 for a meal.. It better be perfect! I was not impressed.. We both agreed that we would have a better meal at LongHorns .. SMH read more

This is the only restaurant in Foxwoods that is good. Steak. Meat. Potatoes. I'm happy. Excellent service and fair prices. You might wait a while to get a table, but it's worth it. That is all. read more

Had a great meal here while staying at Foxwoods for the weekend. Service was quite good despite being busy and possibly slightly understaffed. The lamb chops and filet were cooked perfectly to order and the sides were delicious as well. The wine list is quite reasonably priced. The dessert of fresh berries with white chocolate custard was excellent too. read more

I dined tonight at the bar and the bartender Richard was phenomenal! He was incredibly attentive as well as the rest of the staff. The food was five star as was the service. Definitely will be back. read more

When a go to Foxwoods, this used to be one of my go to places to eat. It is the cheapest steakhouse (Still expensive though) at the casino and the food was usually pretty good. But, over the years it has gone downhill fast. The menu is stagnant and the food itself just doesn't do it for me anymore. The latest renovation actually made the place worse. It no longer feels like a cozy steakhouse, but now it feels like it's part of the cafeteria that sits just outside. My latest trip a couple days back sealed the deal on probably never eating there again. My friend ordered a filet and it was the tiniest piece of meat ever seen and only $4 less than the filet at David Burke steakhouse at the woods. Also, there was a 'roasted tomato' that looked so awful we had to ask what it was. The waiter replied 'don't be scared of it', which should never be said about a piece of food on your plate. In addition, my burger was not so good. The cheese wasn't even melted, which if you ask me, almost ruins the burger. I expect much better quality out of my steakhouses when I'm paying the premium. Do not recommend, and only giving 2 swords because they used to be good... Try David Burke's instead. read more

I ordered a $50 steak special - that came with roasted potatoes and asparagus. I asked for medium rare and it came out medium well - which is unacceptable for a "steakhouse" or any fine dining restaurant. The waitress apologized and submitted it for a refire. 20 minutes later (after everyone was finished eating and had their plates cleared) a properly cooked steak returned. It was good enough but I was totally uncomfortable at this point; everyone in our party finished eating and was now waiting on me. 20 minutes was too long for a medium rare steak. During this uncomfortable point the staff avoided our table. Everyone had empty water glasses and empty cocktails. So not only were they done eat, they were now really just waiting on me because they couldn't order a new cocktail. When addressed with the manager - he offered no solutions or apologizes and asked "What do you want me to do?". Umm, your job? I'm not paid to come up with a solution, you are. But if he needs some suggestions: Offer to comp my meal, Offer a round of drinks? They ended up trying to bring over a fruit and pudding cup -- but still hadn't refill our water cups. So we paid a over $500 for horrible service and ok food. NOT FINE DINNING! GO TO DAVID BRUKES! read more

Went on recommendation from friends. Was a horrible experiance. Were seated in the bar area, slid in on booth side and cut my hand because the granite table had a huge chip taken out of it. Server finally showed up after 15 minutes and had a real attitude. Ordered a vouple drinks amd started t order an app but he walked away while i was speaking. Another 20 minute wait for our drinks to be dropped on the table and he wandered away. We finally gor to order an app and when it arrived it was mediocre at best. Not worth the money or aggravation. Only reason we stayed as long as we did was because the superbowl was on. Will never go back read more

kinda expected this place to be an overpriced eatery given the locale being inside a casino. but at this price point, i shall hold them to great expectations. first, ambiance -- decor was ok, but sitting right in the "open area" behind the hostess stand wasn't enjoyable. any time a hotel/maintenance staff strolled by the hallway w/a trolley-load of chairs or what have you, the loud clanging noises echoed through the hollow space. looking right out onto the "poor people" food court (where i'd be if wasn't in here for a bday lunch) and draped out reno scene isn't the best sight out of the dining area, either. sidebar on management: they had a bar area and a whole dining section at the inner, covered part of the restaurant, but hardly anyone was led to be sat in these quieter quarters. why?? then, food -- quality was ok, but not worth spending this much, to be honest. strangely enough, the ribeye hub ordered was half the thickness as what i'd get from Stop and Shop for $10; strange, thin cut that costs nearly $40 (was that even 10 oz?). he also wanted it "black and blue" (extremely raw) but it came out medium well and had to be sent back. meanwhile, my lobster roll had the huge piece of claw flab that nobody likes, at a whopping $21. coincidentally i had one from Iggy's @ Naragansett, RI just the day before; the meat choice was much better, for 30% less on the price. finally, service -- server was ok, but seemed new and inexperienced. what is not ok, is that they mishandled food for the kids with nuts among other allergies: put a roasted tomato w/pesto on the plate with the otherwise allergy-free food. two extra mishaps followed: 1) floor manager had NO IDEA what was on that plate when asked (yeah, i can see that it's a tomato); 2) chef tried to simply remove the item in question and thought it'd be ok. to be fair, once told and realized the gravity of the issue, the said chef did try very hard to rectify the mistakes: by taking the whole plate away, making another one fresh (albeit came out a different cut of meat), and following up with comp desserts and chef's hats for the kids. also he apologized profusely every time he came out, which were all appreciated. but again, for a restaurant trying to position itself in the caliber of David Burke, i would expect the staff be better trained in general. i've been to everyday chains like 99 or BBC, even Legal Seafood would have the MANAGER take out the food for diners with allergies PRIOR to all other plates, and the staff is well-trained throughout. but Cedar is not doing any of that; the manager appeared as clueless as anyone on the street about food allergies, which is disconcerting. knowing the mother of these kids, i'm sure she had called the place up and inquired and explained in great details prior. upon the incident, she coped and dealt with a lot of patience and grace. if it were me, i probably would have flipped out. with this episode and all other factors considered (read: a $600+ tap for 11-pax lunch--8 adults & 3 kids), i have to stick with the 2-star conclusion. read more

Just spent the night at Foxwoods and ate here for both dinner on Friday and lunch on Saturday- it really wasn't that great each time so I'm not sure why we even came back in- oh yea someone wanted a burger! The servers were really great and always nice and attentive. We did request a dessert for my aunts 50th birthday and never got it and also requested a booth which she said we were getting and then walked us to a table?? As for the food everyone was raving about the ribeye so two people got that... I am not a red meat eater and I would NEVER eat something that looked like that. It was so rare and fatty you had to cut so much of it off. The lobster roll and chicken sandwich were very tasty though. For lunch the next day we got burgers and a Cesar salad- everyone enjoyed their burgers. It really shouldn't be hard to make a Cesar salad but this one just wasn't that great. I'm pretty sure the croutons were stale (thumbs down) If you want a fancy dinner at Foxwoods I would not recommend here- to grab a sandwich and drink at the bar it's not bad! read more

Place was really good and has a huge menu to choose from I highly recommend the BBQ shrimp wrapped in bacon.the service was excellent, be prepared for it to be a long dinner as they take their time for each course so if you have a show or something to catch let them know! read more

Love it here!! Here with my friend going to Englebert concert..having the Rib eye steak and fries! read more

Cedars Steaks & Oysters - Rib eye steak ala momma cooked the way i love it! Rare!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Mashantucket, Connecticut

I had the regular cut prime rib cooked medium rare with garlic mashed, AMAZING! hubby had the Surf & Turf, it was a Filet Mignon and Lobster!!! we also ordered the Stuffed Mushrooms, so gooooood! It was stuffed with Italian Sausage! read more

It was just fine. Although I felt like I was eating in an airport restaurant, but with real cutlery. My filet was delicious, but at $40 only came with a scoop of mashed potatoes- no veg. Husband had the Rib Eye, and it was just fine, a gain $40 and one side. Our appetizer took forever to come out, and ended up beating out enters by only 5 minutes. Next time I want a delicious steak dinner I will go outside the casino to one of the great restaurants in Mystic, Stonington etc. they're more likely to know how to time a meal and it will be more intimate. read more

We are big steak eaters so when our group wanted to go there for dinner we thought why not. Well we told by the bartender at Shrine to expect a lot of old people and the waitstaff were very slow with one foot in the grave lol. He was not wrong! The overall oder was of bleach and ben-gay. It took our waitress 30 min before she greeted us. The oysters were ok and boring with cocktail sauce. My strip steak which was ordered rare arrived med. The veal chop Maryland was not bad. I would definitely spend more $ at David Burke or Craftsteak for a better meal! read more

This place use to be great Had the ribeye steak was super salty and fatty. We also had the lobster roll. It's suppose to be on a toasted roll lightly buttered well it was the opposite. The lobster had no flavor and it came out cold. I sent it back for a new one We also got 6 oysters and they were not on ice , had no presentation to them just thrown on a tiny plate The service was really good though in he bar area an older woman was super sweet I have to say. Bur food quality is medioca at best. I felt like I was in a fast food establishment read more

Horrible food, horrible service. A quiet Sunday night staff seemed unmanaged and food inadequate for atmosphere and price. Not what you would expect for a place that serves a $140 tomahawk steak. Sent back lobster roll, rubber and not edible. Lack luster staff and disgusting food. Avoid this place, it sucks!!! read more

Myles and ken was great at providing great service and food was great chef Jess the best

I've only ever eaten in the lounge, because it requires no reservations and almost always has available seating whenever you can pull yourself away from the gaming tables to find something to eat. The lounge has its own menu, but they will also serve anything off the restaurant menu if you ask. For instance, the lounge offers a filet mignon 6oz. that comes in two medallions, but you can chose to get the 9 oz. filet from the restaurant menu for just $3 more (granted, the restaurant menu offering doesn't come with sides, an order of a baked potato or fries will cost you extra). Some of my favorites here: the crabcake, lobster bisque, shrimp cocktail, swordfish steak, and filet mignon. One of my top three steaks I've ever eaten came from Cedar's! They have a handful of sandwiches as well, shave prime rib sandwich, open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce, and you can get a burger if that's all you're in the mood for. I rarely sit at the bar itself as I have a strong aversion to the 'old beer' smell that comes with nearly every bar I've ever sat at, including this one, but the lounge has a dozen or more 2 and 4 tops that provide plenty of seating. If you do your gambling before dinner, they also accept your player's card points! It's nice to offset a portion of your dinner bill as some small consolation for your loses at the tables or slots! The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star, is the occassional inconsistency in waitstaff service and cooking staff. Most meals here are excellent, but some are only so-so. And on occassion you'll get a waiter or waitress handling tables on opposite sides of the bar so they may (and do) sometimes forget about you leaving it to you to flag someone down for refills or your check. read more

We ate at Cedar's with another couple and left completely stuffed! Warning: the soups are delicious, but they are huge and should be a shared appetizer. We each got a soup to start us off (lobster bisque and french onion) and were pretty full before our dinner even came out. The meals we ordered were: Short Ribs - very little fat, tender, served over mashed potatoes, large portion, and though the sauce says it has peppers, it is not that spicy Shrimp pasta with cream sauce - huge shrimp, and really tasty sauce, pasta cooked perfectly Filet Mignon (with asiago bacon topping) - this must have been amazing, because it was devoured in what seemed like a couple of minutes :) For drinks, we had draft beers (the could do with a better selection), and wine from their extensive list. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from at Foxwoods, and Cedar's did not disappoint us. read more

Great steaks! Well, not only steaks but their chicken and fish dishes are really good too. Cedar's is a nice restaurant to get together with friends and family. The quality of the food and service is top notch! The bar is a little more casual. There are only a few small tables or seats at the bar. I found the bartenders to be super attentive. They even brought the peppermill out for my clam chowder. Make sure you have a reservation on the weekend. Cedar's can be booked solid. read more
