Cedar House Cafeteria has been serving Southern comfort food in Tarrant, Alabama since 1976. The format is classic cafeteria-style: meat-and-vegetable plates built around daily rotating menus that change by the day of the week.
The lineup runs through Southern staples like fried pork chops, catfish, chicken and dressing, country fried steak, smoked sausage with kraut, and beef liver with onions, alongside vegetable sides and a chef salad or veggie plate option for lighter appetites. Dessert is its own event, with a rotating case of chocolate and coconut cream pies, pecan pie, banana pudding, and fruit cobblers.
Regulars describe it as a long-standing community institution — the kind of place where the staff know your order and the portions are generous for the price.
