After attending a nearby activity, my wife, daughter, and I found our way to Cedar for dinner. Traditionally a brunch spot, their hours have recently been expanded to offer dinner three nights a week (Thursday - Saturday). We started with the spicy candied sprouts, a wonderful combination of roasted Brussel Sprouts, hot honey, spicy candied bacon, and served with house-made ranch ($11). These were definitely spicy, but were very tasty and a wonderful dish to share as an appetizer. The ladies shared the chicken & waffles, a large plate of fried chicken, served on a house waffle, with hot honey, spicy candied bacon, butter, and powdered sugar ($19). This featured some of the same ingredients as the sprouts, but was a much sweeter dish thanks to the sugar and waffles. They were very happy w

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Cassandra Booth · Nov 2025

Cedar is a wonderful spot in Covington for brunch. The scratch kitchen combined with the attention to detail food wise was notable! Make a reservation in advance if grabbing brunch - otherwise anticipate a wait. I’d highly recommend the Brussel Hash, Hangover Bowl, & Chicken & Waffle. All the beverages were great from the Bloody Mary to the Cedar Mimosa. The food was quality, but rather small portions. The service received felt rushed - forgetting to bring a biscuit for 10+ minutes after delivery our main course. The beignets were good, not great. The yuca toast was good, but a very small portion that should be an app not a meal. We will return as we want to explore more of the menu. However, the 1 hour vacation they boost about on their website wasn’t my experience.

.While visiting the Covington/Cincinnati area, my partner and I decided to grab breakfast one morning and stopped at Cedar, mainly because of its convenient location. We were immediately impressed by the warm, cozy atmosphere, with a clean, rustic, country-kitchen vibe that felt inviting and homey. We chose to sit at the bar, though the restaurant also offers low-top tables, booths, and standard dining seating. The bar service was quick and friendly, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. The menu itself is fairly small but thoughtfully curated, offering solid breakfast options. My partner ordered the skillet bowl, and I went with the chicken and waffles. Both dishes were fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy, and the waffle was fluffy and full of flavor, comple

★★★★★ 5.0 Veronica L. McCarthy · Jan 2026

Had dinner here and loved the food! Scratch kitchen is evident in everything we had. The brussel sprouts were to die for. We tried the chicken and waffles, Fire Bird chicken, Greek chicken wrap, and beignets. Would definitely recommend. The restaurant was beautiful and the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen. Service was phenomenal. I sadly forgot her name, but I can't wait to come back and see her again. Highly recommend.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Rebecca Sylvester · Nov 2025

I ordered the crab eggs benedict for the $18 price tag give me some hash browns on the side or some fruit or...something...portion size very tiny for the cost...our waitress Brandy? was VERY attentive, polite and apologetic when service was slow--I recc to the owners to put the silverware on the table so the waitress doesn't have an extra trip--we didnt even have spoons to stir our coffee had to ask her prob took 7-8 mins before she was able to bring our silverware--then saw her have to bring silverware to the table next to us on an extra trip after they asked--not very efficient for a busy restaurant during prime brunch hours--the hostess Hailey was performing her duties in a very passive-aggressive manner--she was clearing a table of 8 and slamming together all the bill clipboards, she w
