This was my first time at a Cheddar’s ever. The food was really good and I think very fairly priced. I had the Maui margarita which was great. I didn’t pay attention and it comes w sugar on the rim so if you like salt like me make sure to tell them. I wiped it off and salted the rim myself and it was stellar. I ordered the half rack w mash and broccoli cheddar casserole and it was outstanding. The meat fell off the bone when I tried to separate each rib. I finished the whole thing but I skipped breakfast so know that it’s a lot… I ordered the chicken lollipops for my toddler w broccoli. He ate the broccoli but just played with the chicken. One kid had the 6 oz sirloin and finished the whole steak. Two of our table had the chicken pot pie and the adult said it’s one of the best pot pies they’ve had in quite a long time. The kids had raspberry lemonade and mango iced tea, the mango iced tea was gulped down in the first ten minutes and they ended up getting a to go tea for the road they liked it so much. The table we were seated at was big and roomy and we barely waited to be seated amongst a very full dining room and parking lot but we still found a parking spot close to the door because the parking lot is big. I’m overall quite satisfied with the spot and we shall return.

Was surprised by the amount of food you get for the value. Ordered 2 mains, pops, chips and salsa all for $42. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The menu had a wide variety of items – from salads, steaks, sandwiches, etc.. everything was served fast and fresh!

I got the lemon pepper chicken with rice, mac and cheese, and green beans. The chicken was a little dry, but i prefer it that way so it was good. The green beans were a bit bland and the portion small. The mac and cheese was good but again a bit small. The rice was about 30 grams. I’m confident as I weigh and eat rice 2-3 times a day.

This was the first time we ate here, and we’re so glad we did. The food is 5-star delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, the service is great and the prices were comparable. It was a bit noisy but we went around lunchtime. The atmosphere is nice and cozy and there’s plenty of parking. We’ll be going here again.

The service was good, the atmosphere and the restaurant itself is nice but the food is horrible. Extremely thin and overcooked steak, bland mashed potatoes, and the vegetables weren’t seasoned enough. The only thing I liked there were the chicken tenders. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend coming here. It’s expensive and not worth it. We ordered medium well, medium rare and well done steak and all the steaks were super thin and all super well done and dry. No good, not returning here.

We got there about 45 minutes before they closed and they were very attentive. Within 15 minutes our food had arrived and it was delicious. I got the half rack of ribs and chicken tenders and my friend got the bacon burger. Both were gone very fast and they were surprisingly some of the most tender ribs I’ve ever had. The broccoli casserole was also a star of its own. If I find myself back in the area I’d come here again

Today was our first time to Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen. It exceeded our expectations. When we pulled up at a little after 1:00 p.m. and the parking lot was very full. Fortunately we did not have to wait for a table. Our server was excellent and provided us with three croissants drizzled with frosting since it was our first time. She made recommendations from the menu and was very helpful. My husband had the chicken fried chicken and thought it was very good. He substituted one of the sides for a salad for an additional 99 cents. The side salad was gorgeous! His other side of mashed potatoes and gravy was also very good. He enjoyed the chicken fried steak and has enough for lunch tomorrow. I ordered the spicy chicken with grilled shrimp served on a bed of ginger rice. For my sides I had green beans and corn. All the food was cooked to perfection. I also had enough left over to take home for tomorrow for lunch. Our experience was a very good one, and we will most definitely be back to Cheddar’s. It’s nice to know there is another place in town that serves very good home cooked, fresh food.

The waiter was great!! The Santa Fe dip was delicious. Now let’s get to the food. I ordered the tilapia with shrimp and mango salsa and my husband ordered the the New Orleans pasta. His was good (even though the shrimp was cold). My food was cold!!! The mac and cheese tasted like it had been setting for a while and the sweet carrots were dry & cold and so old they had white on them. My husband enjoyed his and I sent mine back. Service is excellent but whoever is doing the food needs to do a better job. The drink was great but not enough alcohol could cover the bad food I tasted!!!! The drink looked better before I ate the sweet coconut…
