    What is this place lol
    Todd M.

    This is a high energy cocktail bar with limited, mainstream beers. The decor here is trippy and most of the action occurs after 11pm. Parking lot is tiny and you won't find a spot unless you come early. The bar is nice and big but you won't find a seat if it's late into the night. There is a bouncer on weekends so common sense attire is required. It's only been open a few months, they told me the local residents complain a lot about noise so they are likely giving bad reviews online. My only complaint was the $16.6 average cost of a drink here based on my tab. This is somewhere you go with friends to close the night out.

Relatively easy to get to off of the highway, it has a nice little spot off of the main road. They have two parking lots which make it nice as long as it's not too busy, and a little bit of street parking. I imagine during peak business hours it can get packed and parking can be a hunger game situation. Walking in. They seem to have a lot of space. They have two different outdoor areas, and two different indoor areas. I only went into the main one during our event. It happened to be a Sunday so there was football on every TV out there,. They also had a volleyball game going on between Nebraska and A&M. The indoor area is on the smaller side, but it's nice and comfortable provided they're still space. They've invested most of their space and outdoor areas. It also helps that they have heaters throughout, which make it nice regardless of what time of year you're out here. Food wise, I didn't order anything. But they did have catering for the event and I assume that came through the bar. It was really good. I stuck to some domestic beers on the menu for this event, so I can't speak to their cocktails. However, having walked around I saw signs for different things that they have throughout the month. They do have steak nights, they have geeks who drink trivia, they have other events throughout the month that you should check out. Overall a nice place, I can't speak to their drinks, but looks like it'd be a cool place to go, watch a game, or host a thing outdoors, or just catch up with people. I would definitely come back if I'm in this area.

    PARENTS BE AWARE: if you bring your family here, be prepared for zero grace, poor communication,…read moreand a confrontational approach to enforcing rules. There is little patience shown toward families, and situations can escalate unnecessarily. We've been regular customers here since this place opened and never had an issue until this visit. We're a family with two young kids and don't consider ourselves difficult customers. Our son briefly had a small ball. The person who I later learned is, or believe to be, the owner told us that balls weren't allowed. We immediately apologized, smiled, and put it away. No argument, no resistance, and the ball was never used again. Later, that same person came back and spoke to my wife in an aggressive, confrontational, and disrespectful way. The very first thing he said to her was, "I told you that balls were not allowed," despite the fact that our child was no longer using a ball. He clearly misunderstood the situation -- other children nearby (not with us) were playing with balls -- yet chose to lead with an accusation rather than calmly clarifying. Once he realized those children were not ours, he never apologized for the mistake. He simply walked away and went on to confront the other family instead. When I tried to explain this and asked that he speak respectfully to her, he became defensive, dismissed me outright, told us we could leave, and refused to hear anything further. The situation escalated into a verbal confrontation involving profanity on both sides. I'll own my part in that -- but the escalation was completely unnecessary and avoidable. What made this worse is that I later confirmed this person was the owner. That's deeply disappointing. Regardless of rules, there is no excuse for engaging with customers in a hostile, dismissive, or aggressive manner. This guy is arrogant, and rude. We won't be returning. If balls are not allowed, there should be clear signage. There was none. A simple sign would prevent situations like this entirely. I'm leaving this review so others can make an informed decision. This is not about one mistake -- it's about how it was handled.

We quickly narrowed in on a few burgers. They have MANY options. Same goes for their foot long all beef hot dogs. The burgers have a very tasty bun and the meat is full of flavor. For fries you can choose between different variations, but they are included with your burger. The place is loaded with TVs to watch the game and it also has a full bar in case your sports team lets you down. Even with TVs, the restaurant is not overly loud. My son loved his burger and that says a lot since he is a field leading expert in the art of complaining. So, we are looking forward to heading back to try other burgers.

But the garlic fries saved the day. They were crunchy and the garlicky toppings helped us finish them off. A great spot for after office meet ups and just to hang out

    Brunch at Cottonwood is always a good idea…read more I stopped in recently for brunch and ordered the egg plate along with a cold brew coffee--simple, fresh, and exactly what I was craving to start the day. The food came out quickly, and everything was cooked just right. What made the visit extra special was meeting up with friends I used to come here with. Sitting together and reminiscing about all the events we've attended here over the years reminded me why this spot has always been such a favorite. The patio is absolutely fantastic--spacious, relaxed, and perfect for lingering conversations over coffee, mimosas, and yes even espresso martinis.

Parking isn't a problem in the large complimentary lot they have. Ambiance (3/5): Pretty much your typical patio bar. There's a decent-sized indoor area, but most of the action is on the spacious patio. There's plenty of seating and TVs... which made for a good spot to watch the game. Especially since they had the sound on. Service (3.5/5): You order at the bar. No waiter service that I noticed. Typically there wasn't much of the line, but it was congested at one point throughout the night. Food (3/5): We split their Alabama white wings and crawfish fries. Pretty much your average bar food. Generous portions. Decent prices. The crawfish smelled a little funky though. Drinks (3/5): Since a sporting event was going on, I stuck to beer. They have a pretty decent selection of brews on tap, including quite a few Texas beers. Along with some standard ones and some European selections. They had a Modelo special where you got to keep a commemorative boot-shaped glass. Pretty cool! Overall, pretty much run-of-the-mill in my mind.

The biggest red flag? Patron vehicles being towed under circumstances that appear predatory and poorly communicated. Multiple customers--including myself--were blindsided by towing while actively patronizing the business. There was little to no clear signage, no warning, and zero accountability from staff. Whether or not it technically skirts the law, it feels deceptive and hostile to customers. Inside, things don't improve. Service is painfully slow and indifferent, as if the staff would rather you weren't there at all. Orders are forgotten, drinks sit empty, and requests are met with eye rolls instead of help. You get the strong sense that customer service simply isn't a priority. Then there's the cleanliness--or lack of it. Sticky tables, dirty floors, and restrooms that look like they've been neglected for far too long. It's hard to enjoy food or drinks when you're questioning how often anything gets cleaned. Between the towing fiasco, the poor service, and the grimy environment, Cedar Creek Bar & Grill feels less like a neighborhood hangout and more like a trap for unsuspecting patrons. Houston has too many great bars and restaurants to waste your time--or risk your car--on this one. Not recommended.
