Cedar Street Grill

Cedar Street Grill is a modern take on traditional American cuisine. Whether you feel like a burger that isn’t made from a patty or just some good chicken wings then take a trip to Cedar Street Grill. It may be more on the pricey side but it’s worth it. Their Hudson Valley Burger and Cedar Street Burger are good at filling that burger craving that Mercy cafes just can’t fill some
times. Tired of mercy chicken tenders then try the Dirty Chicken Wings, you can’t go wrong with something glazed with maple and siracha. The food isn’t the only good thing about Cedar cedar-street-grillStreet Grill either, the atmosphere is very cozy due to the fireplace they have inside the restaurant. You can also sit outside during the warmer months for a nice afternoon lunch date.

Their Sesame Chicken is a favorite, and like all entrees, is big enough to feed two. Another plus side are their Japanese sodas, which come in different flavors, such as strawberry. These flavored sodas pair nicely with any of the special rolls they make.
