Five Stars Isn’t Enough for This Crust! I had dinner tonight at The Pub on the Cedar, and I’m genuinely blown away by what I just experienced. I ordered the Supreme Pizza with a cauliflower crust—mostly expecting it to be a healthier swap, but not necessarily something mind-blowing. I could not have been more wrong. This crust isn’t just good for cauliflower—it’s hands-down the best pizza crust I’ve had anywhere in the world. Perfectly crisp on the edges, tender in the middle, with just the right amount of chew. It held up beautifully under the weight of the toppings without getting soggy or falling apart, and it added a subtle, delicious flavor that actually elevated the entire pizza. Pair that with the generous, flavorful toppings of the Supreme—the savory meats, fresh veggies, and gooey cheese—and it was an absolute knockout. You’d never believe you were eating something gluten-free. Whether you’re here for dietary reasons or just want a damn good pizza, this is the crust to try. Bravo to the kitchen at The Pub on the Cedar—this was a total game-changer.

The best service today!!! Our group of four decided to share three sandwiches. Our server heard us talking about splitting and took it upon himself to have a plate set up for each of us with each of the three sandwiches already cut up and with condiments. He heard one of us mention wanting jalapenos (the others didn’t) so he brought a separate side for him! He was so attentive and kind! If I hadn’t known better I’d have thought he was the owner - but he wasn’t - we asked. The care he provided would make us come back alone! Now the food...delicious! As mentioned we tried three sandwiches - the breaded tenderloin, the bourbon burger and the cordon bleu chicken sandwich. All were excellent. Our consensus was that the tenderloin was our favorite - crispy breading and just the right thickness of pork. So juicy! We also had the sweet potato puffs, fries, fried pickles and cheese curds. Each were perfectly hot and crispy. We all left stuffed and satisfied! Atmosphere inside is your standard sports bar. We had hoped to sit outside by the river but it was too hot and they weren’t serving out there.

Sports Bar atmosphere with multiple TVs and beer signs. Although the restaurant did not appear to be busy, service was slow, although very friendly and adequate when he arrived. My Philly Cheese Steak, Sweet Potatoe Puffs, Coleslaw and Arnold Palmer were delicious.

The Pub has great food options and good service. We love sitting outside along the river during the summer.
