The food was delicious . I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with the chicken and then took a trip to the salad bar! My choices were simple and surprisingly tasty. There were a few items that needed to be filled but the ones I chose were great!!! The ambience was "chill". The TVs were on golf, football and soccer ....an okay variety. I couldn't eat all of the food so I did a takeaway. All in all I'd give Second East a solid 8! A few suggestions: check the Salad Bar more often. It would have been nice to have more variety! read more

Second East - Second East Chicken Alfredo and bread twist. - Salad Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

When they first opened, we loved the ice cream and the place was spotless. Over time, though, it has become really disappointing. The salad bar was filthy, and the ice cream freezer was covered in buildup, which was pretty off-putting. What made it worse was that the owner was there, sitting on his phone while these conditions were clearly visible. The place wasn't busy at all, so there really wasn't any excuse for the lack of cleanliness. The food is cheaply made, but that doesn't make up for an establishment that isn't properly maintained. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

Friend told us about this place. We were traveling thru Cedar City and decided to stop in. First impression on outside of building is just what exactly are the serving here? It's a ground up build for starters. It's a little confusing as there are 2 entrance doors and no signage to enter. One side is sandwich's and food. The other is I scream and sweet treats. As we entered we came into an old 60's van that has been made into a salad bar. It looked really good, fresh and well stocked. I did like the remote self pay right at the bar. You can skip any line if you just wanted a salad. So we got in line for ordering sandwiches & pasta. Interesting idea on sandwiches with options for bread or a scone to make your sandwich. This is like a fast food place in SLC called the Sconecutter. They have lots of gluten free options. I ordered the Pastrami Scone sandwich. It was pretty good. Very fresh and tasty. It didn't have much Pastrami. For the price I would have expected at least double what was on it. I did like it , but at $12 it was over priced. May Wife had the salad bar. She was totally into it and loved the selection. At the price point she paid it was great. We also tried the fresh scooped ice cream. It too was great and priced appropriately. In all we did enjoy eating here. It's definitely at the higher end price point. They do have deals, which if we had seen when ordering would've helped. My hang up on rating is lack of appropriate signage telling customer what they have and how to even get into the place. On that as you enter the building on the south there is. Big door with signage telling you about what was behind the door, ( Emergency Pump Room) How hard would an "Entrance" sign be? Would come again now I have seen how it works. read more

Second East - Inside 2nd East with seating area & Van Salad Bar - Salad Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

This place felt like an a.i generated restaurant. Also the turkey sandwich was two thin slices of turkey and the most thickly cut pieces of onion I've ever seen. read more

This is such a fun place to stop in for lunch. The decor gives a true feeling of old school Americana. The van they have repurposed in to a salad bar! Lots of open seating and even at its busiest it isn't overly loud. They have a great selection of items to choose from. Pasta, ice cream, calzones. The sconewhiches were amazing. Such soft bread and filed with some of the best toppings. Definitely stopping here again on my next trip through Cedar. The staff were very kind, gives you a feeling of the owner being engaged and involved. read more

Don't waste your money! The food is overpriced for what it is and tasted terrible. I got the steak salad and it was iceberg lettuce, 3 cherry tomatoes, a handful and a half of shredded carrots and a small portion of "steak" that tasted and looked like it was more fit as dog food. For $16 it was pathetic and infuriating. Their ice cream was great but it looked like there's a $2 surcharge for getting it in a cup. Service was mediocre at best. I was asking about gluten as I have celiac and they still included the bread with my order and we had to make sure the fries were gluten free, which they are not. For baked fries that aren't beer battered etc this was very surprising and should have been mentioned after asking about gluten free items. Additionally there was no fork, napkin or dressing provided with the salad. I had gotten it to go. Incredibly dissatisfied with my experience and won't return. read more

We drove through for coffee. There was no line and it took 20 minutes to get 2 lattes. They were undrinkable. It tasted like very weak drip coffee with foam added. The only positive was it was hot! Choose Starbucks instead, don't waste your money here. read more

I've been here three times now in the last three days, twice today! It really is yummy. I like the breadsticks and the broccoli cheddar soup. My husband had a breakfast sconewich and a BLT sconewich. Normally I'd leave five stars, but the problem was with the refresher drink. This morning we got the refresher and asked for no ice. The lady said, "Oh it doesn't come with ice. We just use frozen strawberries." Sweet! Love that. Got it, and LOVED it! But there were a lot of frozen strawberries, which I happily consumed, but I'd rather have a little more of the drink. So tonight when we went again (because I accidentally drank all the refresher and my husband hardly got any), I ordered a refresher again, this time with light frozen strawberries. When we got it, it tasted like skim coconut milk.... I opened it and saw that there was a slightly white drink with lots of ICE. It seems like it was missing half the ingredients. The first one we had was just delightful. This one is not worth drinking. Like I want to drink it because I got it, but it doesn't taste good. So that's a bummer. I'd suggest making sure you know what you're getting. Naturally I wasn't brave enough to speak up and ask for a replacement, but I do regret that LOL read more

Second East - Refresher - Salad Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

The #8 gluten free was cold and did not include all ingredients on menu. The Calzone was not up to par--doughy and undercooked. The restaurant was disorganized, and unclean. This was our third visit to Second East and we won't be back. read more

We stopped in Cedar City while passing through and had lunch at Second East! This place is a hidden gem... I love to stop at unique places.

Second East - Chocolate Chip Cookie - Salad Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

We have been waiting to try 2nd East. It's been on our radar for weeks. We went in for dinner on a Friday evening. The restaurant was very busy. We each ordered the small salad and then we split the # 5 Our friends who were with us, ordered the small salad and they split the chicken Alfredo. We were very impressed with the variety at the salad bar. Many items to choose from. They had 3 types of salad mixes to choose from. Iceberg, spring mix, and baby spinach. They also had several types of dressings available. Our #5 Amore Mio was so good. The grilled chicken Wes on point with the button mushrooms. The Alfredo sauce was just the right consistency. The highlight of the dish was the sundried tomatoes! What a flavor punch to the dish. It was delicious!! Our friends had the #1 Classic. They enjoyed it also. The Owner came out and thanked us for coming in and brought us some fresh hot bread sticks. They were so good. Portion size was just right for the price. Plenty of parking and plenty of tables to sit at inside. They also do drive through. We highly recommend this new restaurant in Cedar City. Give it a try! read more

First time visiting on a Friday evening for a little sweet treat. Discovered the ice cream served here is miraculously delicious. The owner chatted with us for a bit. He is genuinely friendly receptive to comments. He ended up spoiling us with a warm scone served up with some soft honey butter. WOW! Sooo good! Cute, clean environment and should be a happening place once the weather gets a bit warmer with a welcoming fire pit and cute, relaxing ambiance! Will definitely be returning! read more

I went over there on Saturday morning at 10:15 and it was closed what successful restaurant closes Saturday morning at 10:15

While tonight was just a taste of what Second East has to offer, I look forward to them opening to the public! The owners and staff are very friendly! The food we were able to eat tonight was delicious! I definitely recommend for lunch and dinner! read more

Food was OK. The red sauce tastes like nothing but stewed tomatoes. Very little if any sort of seasonings. The Alfredo sauce is definitely a white cream sauce, lacking garlic. The building is incredibly beautiful. I also love the layout of the restaurant. they have a very nice salad bar. They do make some fresh cookies that I enjoy. The ice cream is fine. The chicken looks like it is a pre-cooked chicken out of a bag and we found it to be very dry. The meatballs aren't bad, but found those to be a bit hard on the outside from being left in the air too long. Altogether not bad, but I do hope that they add some more garlic and seasonings to their sauces in the future. read more

If I could give a 0 star I would for food and customer service i order fries fench toast and drinks. The fries were not cooked at all and the French toast did not look good. The drinks did not have a good taste to them at all. I went back for a full return and was given an attitude by an Alessia and a gentleman who would not come to the windows but yet would only refund 9.00 and not give the full return. No attitude was needed for the fact I wast satisfied read more

We waited at the counter for service and no one showed up after closer inspection we decided to leave. It was a very DIRTY eating establishment. read more

Great local food, reasonable prices and great services. The scones and honey butter are delicious too. They have a fun Van that's made into salad bar that you need to see and the salad bar is fully stocked with great things read more

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!! Incredible service, friendly and attentive staff, clean and inviting environment, and the most delish food!! I could write a whole paragraph on how wonderful the food was! The Alfredo was creamy and savory with the perfect topping of Parmesan cheese! The salad bar was perfect and had everything to build an incredible salad. Super clean as well. The breadsticks were INSANELY good!! And the Scones. OMG the scones were the best I had ever tasted. Fluffy yet dense and fried to perfection. The honey butter was sweet and fluffy and so perfect! The service was top notch. The owner is so kind and so invested in the community. We will definitely be back and I really hope Second East is here to stay! We are repeat customers for sure!! **also! The price was very fair and I was very impressed with the amount of food I received for the cost. read more

Great food, fun teaming and ambiance. The team was attentive yet patient as we worked out what we wanted, both for food and ice cream.

This is such a fun place to go and eat! We love the pasta and their ice cream is amazing. Overall, it's one of the best places to eat in town. The owner is so friendly and loves to help with anything and everything you need. We LOVE second east!! read more

We love the salad bar with breadsticks! Their soup is the best in town! Always amazing. I haven't had their pasta though. But I visit the salad bar weekly. So good!!! read more

The restaurant is so cute! Clean & we love the decor. The service was great! Very friendly & helpful. The menu in the restaurant includes sandwiches & breakfast items that are not listed online. The hours of operation on the big sign at the restaurant are different from their website & door, that should be corrected. I had the lunch special fettuccine Alfredo & a salad bar salad with breadstick. My husband tried the mama Mia. The pasta was mediocre. Not very flavorful Alfredo. The mama Mia was better but not amazing. The breadstick was dry & bland. My salad was ok. We also tried the scones with honey butter, which was delicious! We will probably be back to try the breakfast sandwiches. read more

Omg. This place was DISGUSTING. Even if we caught it on a bad night you can tell the flavors are really reallly bad. We got the chicken fettuccine and the spaghetti and meatballs. My husband only ate the meatballs and I spit out what the first bite I had. Unfortunate too. read more

Unfortunately this place is just another trendy money grab. Although the building is beautiful the food was similar to a public school cafeteria. The noodles and meatballs had clearly been sitting out for to long. The sauce was extremely bland with no flavor or seasoning. The soup was absolutely disgusting. I took two bites and couldn't eat anymore. There were Alfredo noodles inside the soup dish and it was very chunky like it had been sitting out for a long time. Staff was not terrible but not good either. Overall don't recommend for these ridiculous prices. Why spent over $20 here when for almost the same price I can get way better pasta and free bread at chef Alfredo's. Total rip off!! Enjoyed the music they played though. read more

Chris, Thank you for explaining the curated ingredients of your Asian bowl dressing, it was delicious! And the Asian bowl ingredients were fresh and pleasantly assembled. A lovely balance of flavors, none overwhelming the others! Oh, and healthy too :^) Thank you again for your investment of time (during the lunch rush hour) to explain your creative process. I'll be back to audition your other pasta offerings that look so promising. read more

We were all impressed with the beautiful building and decor inside, as well as the cleanliness of the place. Staff was amazing, pleasant and helpful. And the retro Dodge van salad bar ... really cute! Each of us ordered something different and all were satisfied with the meal. The one thing that we found disturbing was this: A "single" serving of pasta is served in a small deep plastic "to go" container. Another thing that seemed off was that the salad bar plate is a very small deep bowl, also disposable. We were just a bit put off by all of the plastic and disposable small narrow portion containers - I felt like I was eating pasta out of a styrofoam cup! If the owners insist on not washing dishes, I would recommend using paper plates for "eat in" diners so we can see the beautiful food presentation and not impact the environment with all that plastic. read more

Great service and yummy pasta! The scones are delish and pasta portion sizes are big! Great addition to Cedar City! We'll definitely be back! read more

Came here for lunch, was very disappointed in the quality of food. Tastes like everything came straight out of a Sysco food truck and no extra love was put into it. Sub par food. read more

the environment is nice. fun place. food was average. pasta restaurants are always tricky. been a food critic for many years. flavors on the Alfredo and marinara were nice. the noodles were over done and way too soft. the goal is "al dente". this was just so soggy and noodles were mushy. read more

I know the owner of this restaurant and would like to leave honest feedback that I feel if he looks at it will help him in his business. I have tried breakfast lunch and dinner here. The scone which is a cool idea, but isn't great. Needs something else a special sauce a thinner scone, or maybe an added something. I pay $3 more regularly for a certain bagel with a special pepper cream cheese and hash browns cooked into the top of the bagel, cause it's the best breakfast in town. I love the made to order pasta here but think you're making a mistake not having regular spaghetti or even the smaller noodles like in ramen. I love the scones but honestly really only want one with one sauce. I end up throwing the second away or ordering a second honey butter regularly. Sell them individually with a cup of honey butter per scone. They've made lots of changes to the menu so far. Let's make a few more. read more

It took us a little time to read the menu with so many options to select from...noodle dishes with different sauce and protein options to sconewiches, salad and soup bar, and a lunch special too! Service with a smile when we finally decided what to order, and the food was delivered quickly as well. Salad bar was marvelous with plenty of fresh items to satisfy the urge. Meatball sub was absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of sauce and cheese to make every bite tasty. Its a definite recommend and we will return often too! read more

Food was absolutely amazing! Service was fabulous! And they had some of the best scones that I have ever had!!! Highly recommend this place!

They need to step up their game to survive. Their Alfredo is lack lustre and their bread is ok. I'm sick of the way restaurants here make you pay like a cafe and then sit down with throw away plates and utensils. Stop the trash. read more

Tried this place Saturday day 3/9 about mid day. First time trying this place. First off just want to say how nice and clean the facility was. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and answered all the questions we had and were more than happy to help out. We had the pleasure to be helped by the owner and he went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and had a great experience. The food was great. It's nice to have a small place like 2nd east that isn't a chain franchise. If you are looking for a place to have a great pasta dish, salad bar and even a sweet treat after words, I recommend this place. read more

Such a cute, clean new place in Cedar City. The decor was one of my favorite, the story and personal touches bring the place to life. The ice cream and rice crispy treat were delicious!! Would recommend all try. read more

They catered a dinner I recently attended. The alfredo sauce was the worst I've ever eaten. No flavor at all. No parmesan or garlic in the sauce. The bread sticks were also very bland. No flavor, and the texture was off. Will not be going to the restaurant. read more
