Some of the best bbq I’ve ever had. The chicken was fall off the bone tender, great cornbread with crusty edges, and delicious pork sandwich. Highly recommend the hot honey wings!

As a former Texan, I feel qualified to say this is some QUALITY bbq. The two meat plate, honestly, was more food than I’ve ever seen on a two meat plate . We will definitely be back!

Cedar River has an excellent rating from the health department. I ordered the Loaded Fries with Pulled Pork. It was delicious. The service was good and the staff was friendly. This is a great, local BBQ joint worth checking out!
