    Time for some breakfast
    Judy E.

    Quick stop on our way thru to South Dakota. Friendly service and good food. Walking in you seat yourself it gives a Waffle House vibe & is a little off the highway.

    Inside 1950s diner.

    Excellent 50s diner with food to match. Large portions of food at a very reasonable price. Fresh made, no pre-packaged tiny flavorless breakfast. Food was served very hot on warm plates. Staff was very friendly.

    Dog in restaurant kept shaking and getting food off owners table

    I found it to be pricey for being a diner and the food was mediocre at best. Service was slow as well.

    Amazing chicken fried steak in a cute non chain 50s style diner. They are totally nice.

    It's fine if there is nothing else open. This spot is 24 hours. Thankful to find it when the rest of town was buttoned down at 10pm.

    Great breakfast. I try to avoid chain restaurants. This is a great option if you find yourself in N Platte.

    The Muh-nick is worth trying. PBJ-wrapped in pancake? Yes. Believe it.

    Burgers here are quite good. Fries go straight from the freezer to the fryer, and you can taste. Staff here is very hit or miss.

    The food was bitter, and the place was dirty. Unless you like 210° French fries don't go here.

    The wings were not good at all. Came out cold and didn't seem to be cooked all the way…read more Told the waiter and he said yeah that's probably how they cooked them today... he said he had some and it was the same thing. Inside was clean inside. Service: had to keep asking for refill and never offered to rectify my wing issue.

    I'm not one to leave reviews but this was one of the worst experiences my husband and I have had at…read morea restaurant. There doesn't seem to be any order or organization. We waited 20 minutes to be seated and ordered within 10 minutes. We ordered the nachos as an appetizer (thank goodness we did) -- they were fine but the chips were kind of soggy and all the meat was at the bottom of the pile. It took a while for us to receive them. Definitely something I could've made better at home but good enough. We ordered our entrees at the same time we ordered the appetizers. It took over an hour before our waitress came and asked if we'd received our food yet, and she rarely checked on us before then. Tables that had been seated at least half an hour after us received their food before we did. She told us there was a weird glitch in the system which is why we hadn't received our food, but she wasn't apologetic and didn't do anything to try and make it right. Still charged us full price for everything, not even comping a fountain drink which I had to ask her to fill every time she came by rather than her seeing our drinks were low or empty and taking initiative (like a decent server should). When our food finally came out, it didn't come together. My dish (buffalo mac) came out first and we still waited another 5 minutes for my husband to get his wings. The food was okay. Like the nachos, I feel I could've made something better myself. Definitely not worth waiting an hour and a half for and not worth the $50 we spent. Don't get me wrong-- I understand when an establishment is short-staffed or if it's a busy night (I know a Saturday night will look different than a weeknight), but this was honestly ridiculous. Though it may have been busy, the staff didn't act it. It seems they are not well-trained. I'm also disappointed that our waitress made no effort to improve or redeem our experience. Like one of the other reviews said, it seems they have a good location with a lot of potential, but I would not waste another minute here.

    Amazing food with lovely bar selections Highly recommend this establishment...great for small…read morebusiness meetings

    We were driving across country and decided to pull over in North Platte for the evening. I looked…read morefor a restaurant recommendation and found The Cedar Room. We walked in and there are two large rooms, one dining and one bar/dining area. There is a small bar at the far end that sits around 6 or seven people. We were sat near the window and our server was Penny who was excellent. Penny constantly checked in with us and we were never left wait for service. When it came to ordering wine/cocktails, we were immediately put off by the price of wine. The bottles have an approximate 75% mark up on retail. Way overpriced. You don't see these prices even in the most expensive of steakhouses in my opinion. A glass of wine was the price of a bottle at retail. We elected to go with cocktails. For appetizers, we ordered the Wild Mushroom Brie & Ciabatta. $19 Seared Brie Cheese, brandy glazed belle mushrooms, balsamic reduction, fig chutney; served with Ciabatta toast points. This was good. Cowboy Calamari. $19 Breaded Flat iron sirloin steak bites, fried; served with gravy. I was so looking forward to these but I couldn't even taste the meat.....at all! They were so overly breaded and the steak cut so thin that we felt we were just eating the breading. The gravy was tasty but we couldn't finish the steak bites as we just didn't taste any steak. We split a Cedar Room Wedge. $16 Iceberg, bacon bits, tomatoes, cucumbers, blue cheese crumbles; served with dressing of choice. They split it on two plates and basically did a deconstructed salad. It was fine. After not having a great experience with the food and prices of their wine, we elected to leave and skip the dinner. Although we loved our server Penny and it was a cute establishment, we probably would not return.
