"Visited for the first time this week. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed a Clam Strip Dinner with fries and Cole Slaw, while my husband enjoyed the Shrimp and Flounder special, fried with Collard Greens and Baked Beans. Both of us agree that the fry batter is great. Thin and light, not heavy, greasy, or like a big shell that the fish falls out of. The clam strips were abundant, and not just a bunch of little batter pieces with no clam inside. The fries were super crispy, and the cole slaw was as expected no particular rants or raves. Flounder and shrimp the same flaky and cooked well, lightly battered and seemingly fresh. Collard greens and baked beans were good a little plain for our palate but not bad in any way. The service was attentive, and we didn't wait for anything. Very pleased with the service we received. The space itself could use a freshen up. Our seat seemed beat/sunken and a little dirty, but it was towards the end of the night so maybe our timing was off. Doesn't sway my intent to return. We were very pleased with the visit and I would return or recommend Cedar River to others. Looking forward to a PoBoy on my next visit. And wait! I just remembered... the hushpuppies tjat came with my meal were yum, yum. yum! Sweet little balls of fried delectability. They are bringing it on the hushpuppies!"
