"First and foremost, I have to say that the food at this restaurant is quite good. We ordered prime rib with Caesar salad, sushi, spinach artichoke dip, and stuffed salmon. The stuffed salmon came with risotto that had a very sweet drizzle over it, which I would prefer to skip in the future. Overall, everything else was average to good. However, the ambience of the restaurant left much to be desired. Despite the expensive steakhouse prices (we spent $130 for 2 people), the interior decor and furniture seemed cheap. Our table was in poor condition and looked like it had been used by a group of elderly men for decades in a basement. Walmart curtains were used to separate dining areas, and I had a less than ideal view of an industrial floor mat while eating. I find it hard to justify the prices when the atmosphere is lacking."

"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!"

"The restaurant is just an average spot. My husband ordered the OMG BLT, but it had more bread than anything else—just one small piece of lettuce and a half slice of tomato. The bacon was in a decent amount, but overall it was underwhelming. The house fries had the texture of wood shavings. The service was inconsistent, and my salad was just fine but lacked some of the ingredients listed on the menu. On a positive note, the outdoor music is enjoyable—unless it's karaoke!"

"We went to the Highland for our Wednesday lunch. We were both disappointed. I had a county Fried Steak, two eggs and egg sausage gravy. Sandy had a Highland Omelette. They weren't bad, just not all that good. I would rate the food, ok but the service was terrible. I think our server had a bad day because she was not very attentive. My drink refill arrived as we were leaving although my glass was empty for a good half hour. The credit card sat on the table with the bill as she passed by numerous times. I've been here a few times before and the service and food were good so maybe this is an off-day for the server. We will be back again to give them another chance. No masks. No social distance tables."

"Coaches pub was a bit of a surprise to me. Our server was great funny and attentive. He really aimed to please. He couldn't help that their new cook was in charge of my 10 oz Ny strip steak medium rare bloody. They attempted twice to bring me a medium rare steak to no avail. I can say the second steak that came out was medium and unseasoned. If I had to guess he was upset he had to remake the first steak. Because the replacement was also overcooked but no flavor. I tried the pig out Burger my husband had and it was amazing. The pig out Burger is bursting with flavor. I was a little surprised 2 draft beers were $14... I did enjoy the homemade fries. Steer clear of the sour old tasting coleslaw."
