CedarFork Bar & Bistro

This is the restaurant/​sports/​coffee bar in the lobby of Hotel Indigo. I stayed here on a business trip and had breakfast twice here, so my review is based only on that.
Day 1: I got biscuits and sausage gravy which came rich as expected, but I actually liked it! The biscuits were the flatter, English Muffin type so it wasn’t super puffed up. There was more than sufficient gravy to slather everything yet it had good sized-​chunks of sausage to make it a filling meal and not a side dish. Side of fruit was mediocre — not really sweet but its probably out of season (my bad!) 3 stars.
Day 2: I was one if the first customers and it took a while for the food to come out. I got the Carolina Benedict which is supposed to have spicy sausage, poached egg, and Hollandaise sauce. Egg was a bit overcooked (i.e., no runny yolk), and either the Hollandaise had way too much lemon and/​or the muffin was sourdough, but the dish was way too sour for me. 2 stars.
At night the place does get lively with sports-​bar like vibe. Service was friendly. However, breakfast isn’t the best here.

We stayed at the Hotel Indigo after a day of flight cancelations. Staff at the restaurant was very friendly. Food was fine. They do not have a kids menu, and if your kid is finicky you may have issues feeding them here. My kids are the hotdogs, plain. They were good looking dogs, but «too gourmet» for the kids. I had the BBQ quesadilla. It was good. Washed down with a local IPA, Hoppyum, which was excellent. Overall, better than average limited service hotel food.

No doubt that service is lacking a bit. That is the only reason for only three stars. Seemed to be no enthusiasm to help guests. To address the food, the Chef did an excellent job of preparing my meal. I was very surprised at the quality of the ingredients. You would not expect some of the eclectic dishes their menu has, but they make it work. If you stay at this hotel, I recommend you give the food a try and don’t expect service with your meal.

Yeah it’s true, service was definitely not a prerequisite to getting hired. I’m not even sure they know they don’t know. The food was very average for the price and I got a discount. Ordered salmon and tried to explain I didn’t want it over cooked and dry and the chefs response was that it wasn’t sushi grade so he didn’t want to over cook it. When the second piece came out the same way I wasn’t offered an alternative and when questioned I explained my dissatisfaction for the quality vs price and inward told it was hotel prices. Exactly why I was going to the restaurant down the hill.

Worst service I had to leave and go somewhere else for breakfast will worth the drive. Had bad service two days in a row, I don’t know why I give people the benefit of the doubt

CedarFork has friendly enough staff, but the food is severely lacking. I got a spinach salad with steak. The steak was without a doubt the worst steak I’ve ever had in my entire life.
Disgusting and inedible, the «steak» was chewy, fatty and worse than what Taco Bell passes as carne asada. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they are selling horse-​meat or grade F beef. Not trying to be funny, it was that bad.

Nice Joint inside the Indigo Hotel. Food was well made. I will go again
