    Creamy peanut butter pie, cherry cheesecake and cherry crumb pie
    Gretchen T.

    Thanks to Yelp reviews, we ate at this gem of a diner. It's clearly a locals place- very homey and designed for folks to come eat and chat and enjoy each others company. We arrived at about 11:30 am on a Sunday. We were seated immediately. The first question is whether we wanted a breakfast or dinner menu. We took both. They have a nice variety of foods available. I had the salmon croquettes with Harvard beets and green beans. I was instantly transported to my family's home for dinner. They were made just as I remembered. I really enjoyed my meal. Everyone else had breakfast. My son had the hunky fries. It looked amazing and he ate every scrap. Everyone enjoyed their food. The servers walked around with the coffee pot frequently, offering to fill your cup even if it wasn't their table- haven't see that service in years. We finished with 3 pieces of pie- cherry crumb, cherry cheesecake and peanut butter cream. Fantastic! Probably a good thing this place isn't closer - Is be there all the time.

    Broiled haddock, mac & cheese, side of butter, beets, roll, water, Diet Coke. All for $18.02.

    Local place. It's like you're taking a step back in time. Good food. Nice sized portions. I haven't been here for a while so I decided to stop for dinner on a Friday night. Their baked haddock is excellent. Large choice of two sides with it. Very good. Fast service. The time I ordered until the time I received my food was less than five minutes. Granted, it's their Friday night special but the service is fast and friendly. They go out of their way to take care of you. Homemade desserts, but I didn't have any this time.

    Western omelet w homefries

    Finally came back. I met a friend from out east so it was a logical meeting spot about midway. Not many diners today as it was noon but our food still took a long time to come out. This time, the toast was dark (not burnt), and the omelet and homefries were hot and delicious. Service was very friendly. I will come back again when I'm in the area.

    Hunky fries $6.95

    There's something about Schwalms that brings us back. We only come for breakfast, and probably wouldn't be into lunch or the other parts their menu, but the breakfast is decent, desserts are amazing, prices are great, and it's like taking a step back into the 70s when you see the line cooks with their paper hats and old time decor. Definitely don't go expecting a fancy meal, but for a simple breakfast, great pies and cakes, and travel back in time, it's pretty good.

    Special.

    Best place for breakfast. Can't beat the price. Eggs, potatoes, toast and coffee $4.50.

    Not fancy but solid good food. Server was pleasant. I'll be back. Why would anyone pass this up for fast food or a chain restaurant?

    Good old-fashion home style cooking at a reasonable price. There's nothing fancy or flashy but you will likely leave satisfied and happy.

This place feels familiar, welcoming, and comforting in the best way. My go-to orders are either the breakfast quesadilla (which is huge and packed with veggies) or the mushroom omelette, both consistently delicious and filling. The food is always good, always hot, and somehow comes out crazy fast usually within 10 minutes of ordering. The service is what really sets this place apart. We always ask for Charla, and she is hands down the best. She remembers our order every time and often meets us at the table with coffee already poured. She knows her regulars, treats everyone like family, and makes every visit feel personal. A quick honest note: right now, some of the booths and tables are a little run down, but they're actively working on opening new building right next door, so it's clear they're building toward something bigger and brighter. It's absolutely not a deal breaker the heart of the place, the food, and the people are what matter, and those are solid. Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and the vibe is classic hometown diner. If you want fast, reliable breakfast with genuine care behind it, Cedar Grill is it.

A real…read morefire crackled in the stone fireplace in the lounge, and we were ushered into a charming stone dining room that felt like stepping back in time. The building itself clearly carries history -- I actually had to duck slightly to pass through the low stone archway leading to our table. It added to the character and intimacy of the space. We started with the tuna tartare, which was a standout. I'm "that aunt" in the family -- the one who encourages the kids to try new things -- and this dinner was my monthly outing with my nephew. So yes, raw tuna hit the table. It turned out to be the perfect introduction. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and approachable, it made trying something new feel effortless. A total win. He ordered chicken nuggets, and while that might sound simple, they were clearly house-made, fresh-cut, and thoughtfully prepared. For chicken nuggets, they were excellent. My scallops, unfortunately, didn't quite land for me. The accompanying preparation felt overly complex and ended up overpowering the natural delicacy of the scallops. That said, the menu offers plenty of other intriguing options, and I'd absolutely return to explore more. Service throughout the evening was kind, attentive, and prompt -- exactly what you hope for during a relaxed dinner out. Overall, a warm, character-filled spot with standout starters and welcoming staff. Looking forward to the next visit.

If you look at the side salad from before ( within a year) it was bigger. You get charged if you want to substitute instead of chips but Tiny Tim wouldn't be satisfied with that side salad. And to piggy back on that my "large" house salad with added grilled chicken was the same portion as that tiny side salad but with a grilled chicken with it. Look at the older photos and you can see the difference on the side salad. Like I know they buy premade salad. Add a little more at least to the "large" salad. The crab cake looked about the same as the other and still tasted good to my husband. So they still charge you the full price of a side salad to substitute and just add it in the price. So it would be easier to get a salad on the side and get what they give you. We are spending our money to dine at least make it worth it. The last 4 pictures show our charges. Our waitress was nice and the food is good but not for those prices. Shame on you bluebird for the salad portions and not letting patrons know there isn't a discount on substituting your sides.
