Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

Adding new reviews is currently disabled while we work on launching a new website.

This food is the best thing going on here? I felt like I was eating in a cafeteria. Seems like someone rushed to build this one.

Best Yellow Fin I have ever had ...
By Guest on 10/8/2007
We were visiting the OBX for the first time and decided to try the Lone Cedar Cafe on a recommendation. The food was excellent. I ordered She Crab Soup and the Yellow Fin Tuna. I must say it was a little slice of heaven. The best seafood dinner I have had in a very, very long time. Excellent!

Had to try because of all the wonderful reviews. We got there fairly early on a Friday night and it was not busy at all. Service was excellent and the food was all I had hoped for. We started with the She Crab soup and Crab Dip. There was so much crab! It was all very fresh too. We had the Crab Cakes and Stuffed Flounder for dinner. Again, a lot of fresh delicious crab. Couldn't have been better. We ordered a slice of the 16 layer Chocolate Cake for dessert. It was just okay-tasted like it came from a mix, not home made. Overall, it was an excellent meal and we highly recommend it.

Glad they're open again!
By LoveTheCoast on 9/25/2007
Visited OBX last week and had to eat at Basnight's. The food was fresh and great and service was excellent! The new place sure looks new, but with the quality of everything and attention to detail, you can tell these are old hands doing what they do best. Sorry to hear about the death of Mrs. Basnight -- best wishes to the family.

Vacationed on the Outer Banks last week & had heard of this restaurant, so had to try it. Everyone was very happy with their food choice. The waitress was attentive & friendly. Know they have just opened & probably have things to work out yet. My main concern would be the noise level in the dining room. With all the wonderful food it's a shame to have the atmosphere of a cafeteria. We would certainly try them again.

This place is well worth the money and the wait. Everything on the menu is delicious. I cannot visit the OBX without stopping to eat at the Lone Cedar. I was very disappointed to hear that it had burned down because I was at OBX this past June. I had a very hard time finding a comparable meal.

My Favorite
By an NCBeaches Guest on 5/13/2007
I visit the outerbanks 3-4 times a year and always come to the Lone Cedar. I was brought to tears when I heard it burned down. It is always awesome and I can't wait until it rebuilds!

Good food on with nice views
By a Guest Reviewer
The food, service and views are great, the price is higher than some of the other restaurants in the immediate area. Bring your charge card!

down home goodness
By a Guest Reviewer
have visited Lone Cedar for years and after trying many other places, this one stands out as one that offers just plain old down home food. Large portions, reasonable price and great quality keep me coming back. Nothing real fancy, just down-right good. Most meals could easily be shared by two hungry adults with the addition of a salad or app.
