    The Carne Asada is amazing. I probably come here twice a month for it. My wife likes to mix it up a little bit more. She really likes the salads and last night. She had the mahi-mahi. We enjoy sitting on the patio, especially on weekends when the weather is nice.

    I have been dining at Cedar Creek for a couple of decades. The food quality varies from very good to OK. But, recently, it has been very good. Maybe a new chef? A big drawback of Cedar Creek is that it can be very noisy during the weekends and other busy times. So try to avoid those busy times and your experience will be very positive.

    Excellent food, service, and experience! Enjoyed the most amazing ribeye steak, cooked to perfection. We had the opportunity to share several menu items, and all were amazing! Our servers and bartender were knowledgeable about the menu items and made the perfect dinner and drink recommendations for all of us. The chef also made it a point to meet with us and ask us about experience. I highly recommend Griffin’s for casual dining and any special occasion!
