Bbq ranch chicken salad
Mary-Ann L.

First trip to Charlotte, will be visiting great places in the next 3 days! This is my second stop for the day... it's to meet up with colleagues (though this is a personal/pleasure trip) for lunch. Let's start with service when I called to make reservations. They were so friendly and sounded happy to have us. The follow up call the day before was on point, again with the glee that you'd expect from great customer service. The staff was wonderful. Our waitress was friendly, asked whether we wanted to order or wait for the remaining party. The food came out quickly but taste wasn't compromised. I ordered the fried shrimp tacos. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the veggies not greasy or such thick batter which some restaurants tend to make them. Super deliciously served with cole slaw and secret yummy sauce. My colleagues ordered burger, bbq ranch chicken salad, salmon with salad and veggie pizza. They were happy with their orders, well there's a reason why they frequent Cedar Street Tavern! Definitely recommend to my VA Beach friends to try this place when they happen to be in Charlotte!

Wings
Jake P.

Great wings, great fries, great service and all in a great uptown Charlotte location. A coworker and I walked over here after an uptown meeting today. He's a bit of a regular here and knows I'm a wing fan so he insisted we try them out. I'm glad he twisted my arm. We were told to pick a seat when we walked in and had service right away. It's a full bar with a good looking beer selection, but sadly I had to drink water. The wings made up for it. I ordered ten wings (5 teriyaki and 5 jerk). Both were excellently cooked crispy and juicy with great flavor. The presentation with greens and celery was impressive. We also split some fries and they didn't disappoint. I'd get them plain next time. Not because the cheese sauce was bad, but because the fries were that good solo.

Fried Chicken Sandwich
Brian B.

If you want a quick bite in Charlotte's 4th Ward or a drink you should visit Cedar Street Tavern. It's nothing to write home about, and it won't wow you in anyway. It is simple bar food that taste good enough to please your tastebuds and fill your stomach. I had the very basic fried chicken sandwich and it was basic but cooked well. The fires were fries and were good. My only flaw with the sandwich is it could have been a bit bigger. Overall for a quick and easy bite before or especially after a Panthers game coast here to avoid traffic. Drinks are poured, something on the menu for everyone and indoor and outdoor seating. Will I visit again when in Charlotte? Not likely, there are way too many cool and hip places to visit.

Local tavern with good food! The wait staff if always friendly and helpful. I have eaten almost everything on the menu over the years. The wings are good too! Great for lunch!

Expresso Martini ($10) plus a shot of buffalo cream ($2).  Drink came looking like someone took a drink of it.

Service at the beginning was okay but once we got our food, once have the server came by to check on us nor get us any water or ask if we wanted to order any additional drinks. To make the matter worst, once we checked out, we were surprise that they have added a 20% tip to our check. No where in the restaurant stated they would automatically charge a tip on a guest of 4. Food is mediocre, my expresso martini does not taste or look presentable and service sucks.

Seasonal cocktail menu

We are staying in a VRBO just one block away from this place. We were welcomed warmly and told to sit wherever we like. We were then attended too, quickly. I asked for the waitress's top 3 menu selections and she was quick to offer hers. Had a fun fruity lemonade cocktail with watermelon pucker. Tasty and tart!! Then tried the Orange creamsicle cocktail from the features menu. It was interesting. I ordered a wrap with turkey and avocado, on a spinach wrap. It was huge and tasty. The menu was wide and seemed to have something for everyone. Overall, if in the area again, I would return. I also felt like the prices on the food menu were reasonable. The first drink was $8 and the second was $11, but also more stout.

We stopped here for lunch on a hot (90 degree) Saturday after going on a walking tour in West Charlotte. It was barely cooler inside than outside. I think the a/c was broken. There was one gal working front of house as bartender, server, expo, busser--you get the idea. It took her a while to take our order and bring food/drinks. I ordered the blackened salmon sandwich with fries ($9.99). It was pretty ok. The bun was fresh and the fries were hot. The food here won't blow you away but it's decent for the price. Street parking if you're lucky to find it, or a parking deck a block away ($10)

Quesadilla
Nishi S.

I loved the quesadilla, it's the best. Drinks were okay. This one is just below my apartment but I'll miss it more now Cz I'm moving and I loved the place. The vibe at this place is amazing. I would come back again.

Cedar Street Burgers
Rodrigo T.

Life is pretty good when you come across places like these. No B.S. tavern where the food is good, cheap and so are the beers. It's a spot for the none poser crowds just wanna sit down, grub out and slam a couple of beers. Then shoot the breeze and have some real good times with real good friends.   If you do order the mystery beer, it's like playing random local beer roulette. I mean local as in the beer is sourced not too far away, like in the same state that the establishment is sitting on. It's a cool concept, it's nice to try out some random beer from made just around the corner. Definitely the best way to try something new.   Anyways, our first time here was late so we had their late night menu items. Which consisted mostly of their appetizer selections. I think we ended up ordering 25 wings to share family style that night, along with onion rings, mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. We were allowed to choose 3 different sauces on the wings. I picked their Lip Kisser sauce since it was the hottest sauce in their arsenal. I decided to give that one a world... Yes it was hot... And NO I wasn't defeated. That sauce I can definitely say, can hold a candle to the Blazin sauce from that commercial wing joint.   Anyways, we also has their Cedar Street burgers the next day and they were very good as well. Server forgot to ask us how we liked our burgers cooked, but that's not a big deal to us. The sweet potato fries are to die for though. Awesome taste, great crispness and it's so much better than potato sticks.   Anyways, come eat here because it's wicked awesome.   Weeeeeeeeeee!

This is a bar for the GIRLS I was so pleasantly surprised when my partner and I came here and it…read morewas just the cutest little bar We came here to pre game dinner and it was a great experience the seating in here is limited but we had no problem finding a seat on the weekend. They have a bunch of different weekly things that go on here such as movie nights and so on. This is not a bar where guys can be dude bros this is definitely where the girls come to gossip and have little snacks and I love everything about that. The only men I saw here were with women and I think that was 3 including mine ABSOLUTELY coming back with friends and ordering a bunch of appetizers and drinks everything here looks as good as it tastes and the drinks are strong! The staff here is super sweet and just lovely

Found this gem of a cocktail bar last minute. To be honest, I feel embarrassed that I haven't come…read morehere yet. They've been here 2.5 years and from my first experience , they are absolutely crushing it. Dim lighting, beautiful bar design in a smaller space, and 90's-2000's hip hop was the perfect mix for a chill Friday night. Niaget took care of us at the bar (please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong!) and she is clearly a well trained mixologist. Cocktail menu is unique and the ingredients might seem a little far out, but trust the process. The drink pictured below was a bourbon-based (Old Forrester) custom cocktail that Niaget threw together. Hints of pineapple & mint mixed with my favorite brand bourbon made this an honest treat. I will be tossing this cocktail bar onto my favorites list and can't wait to go back.
