    My wife and I had a wonderful time celebrating our wedding anniversary here the other night! It was the first time that we have been to cheddar's scratch kitchen, but because I tend to favor restaurants that cook food fresh and from scratch, we decided that we most definitely needed to give this place a try. We are so glad that we did! I would like to start this review by recognizing our server, Kendall! She was an absolute joy!! Very friendly and personable, great sense of humor, and an overall Fantabulous personality!! We loved her! We will most definitely be requesting her as our server each and every time that we come back! The food was fantastically delicious! Fresh and made from scratch just as they claim! I had the chicken and pecan salad with steamed Broccoli and sweet green beans, Delicious!! My wife had the vegetable plate, also delicious!! We also enjoyed a watermelon and Long Island iced tea margarita, double delicious!! We loved everything out our experience here, and we will most definitely be back! Thank you for such a wonderfully special evening!! And you ROCK Kendall!!!!

    Decent food, great service (sat at the bar). My salad was fresh and the chicken nice and crispy. My wife's burger was gone - she loved it. Place was packed on a Thursday night if that's any indication. Have eaten there before and will again. Worth the visit...

    Prior to dining at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, I'd heard mixed reviews about it. The establishment was clean and the wait staff was professional! Being my 1st time, I was unfamiliar with the menu options. They were very pleasant, helpful and patient. The food came out exactly as ordered, the first time! Our entire party was satisfied. The food was DELICIOUS!!!! I will for sure be returning and sending as many people to this establishment as possible!

    Had a craving for some comfort food and Cheddar's did not disappoint. I chose the country fried steak w/southern style green beans and mashed potatoes. The beans were so tasty, almost a sweet onion flavor. Mashed potatoes were real country style, not whipped. The chicken fried steak was so tender, you just need a fork. All topped with classic gravy. Whew! I'm stuffed! The best part? The price. Everything is reasonable and actually less expensive than most popular franchises. The staff were very accommodating and our server Colin was the best.

    Had their baby back ribs, sides with the casserole and green bean. Casserole and ribs are awesomeeee. Not a crowded place and good atmosphere. Ohyess. Not forget to mention the butter croissant. Very good!

    I wanted to be impressed. But it was just a little above average. We arrived not too long after opening on a weekend. It was not busy but there were a few tables. We were seated with menus quickly but then sat for a long time before we saw a server. The atmosphere is darker than I expected but it was nice and comfortable. The server came to ask if we wanted water and disappeared for a while. Finally returning with water and took our order. We were a group of only 3. The mixed drink and the buttered croissant were fantastic! The dinner salad was fresh and didn't taste like it had been sitting in a fridge for days. The blue cheese dressing could have been chunkier but tasted good. We had a chicken post pie, a Buffalo chicken wrap, and a Monte Cristo. The pot pie was unimpressive. Nothing was wrong with it but it was just a piece of pastry dough on top of a bowl of creamy chicken soup. The Buffalo chicken wrap was also nothing special. The Monte Cristo was almost there but the smoked ham completely dominated the sandwich. So it was more like deep fried breaded ham. The server continued to ignore us for most of the meal. We sat waiting for our bill forever. I was not impressed with the service. I was less impressed by the food and I wanted to love it. It wasn't anything better than a Perkins or Applebee's. I might go back if others were going but it's not going to be my first choice. Very average and below average service.

    The hostess was awesome. So sweet. I'm a big girl, she sat my husband and I at a booth where the table moved. Normally people don't realize that's an issue. It was so nice of her. The food was decent! Great cheese curds!

  • 5/5 Alan S. 6 months ago on Google
    Everything was good! Love fried cheese curds! The half ribs and chicken tenders were awesome. Wife liked the meatloaf dinner. The service everyone we come here is so good we will always keep coming back!

    This was by far one of the best restaurants I have gone to in a very long time! My sons brought me out to this place cause I was having a bad day and let me tell you they didn't disappoint. The food was the bomb 💣 I had a monte cristo and a tiki island drink to boot. I walked away talking about this place like I was a food critique on the food network! I talked about it for days! Our server was awesome! Great attitude and personality 👏 It was a total vibe in this place, loved the atmosphere. WE WILL BE BACK!

    The restaurant is very nice, I like how the booths are tall enough you can carry on a conversation without bothering others. They bring out bread with butter which is delicious and I ordered the spinach dip, which was great. I got the chicken tender salad that was huge and Mama got the fried shrimp. It was way more than we could eat and it was simply delicious. This restaurant is on our rotation list now.

    After leaving another restaurant that we walked out of without eating dinner at, we went to Cheddar's. I cannot say enough good about this place! We were seated reasonably quick. The place was clean, well lit, had up to date decor and had an over all great atmosphere. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The food came out quicker then expected and was simply delicious! Everything was so well seasoned. The price was reasonable for all you got as well. I highly recommend going here!

    Food was well prepared but pricey. Spinach artichoke dip was good, bourbon glazed salmon was a little dry but still acceptable. Service was amazing. Wish I could remember the young lady's name. Really on top of her game.

    We went on a Thursday night. We were greeted and seated immediately. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered the chicken pot pie and it was good, the honey butter croissant was ok, and the chips and salsa was delicious! My friend ordered the chicken tender platter and said the chicken was dry and the coleslaw was simply edible. My other friend ordered the steak and shrimp and said it was delicious! Overall, we were satisfied with our food but won't be in a rush to come back.

  • 5/5 Lynne Christine F. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic from beginning to end starting with our server extraordinaire Kai. He was so efficient, attentive and fun ( and cute, too 🙂). Then the warm honey butter croissants (complimentary every time!) followed by wonderful entrees of shrimp and country fried steak. The meals were excellent and the sides sublime. The grand finale was the strawberry cheesecake with a shortbread cookie crust. Amazing!

    This would have been 5 stars but our entrées came before we even had a chance to start eating our salads, making us feel really rushed. The restaurant was still open for 1 1/2 hours so it's not like we went last minute. The food was cooked perfectly

    I went here with my friend for a nice dinner. We have been here before and food has been good so we were excited. HOWEVER, when we were seated the table was atrociously dirty and the hostess tried cover it up by brushing it ON THE FLOOR. Both my friend’s food and mine was either burnt or so so so dry! The cheese on the potato and the chicken sandwich was cold and clearly kraft singles. The steak that I ordered medium came out COLD AND RAW. I expected so much more from a restaurant that has been established since 1979 and has pleased me in the past. Cheddars… YOU WILL NEVER EVER SEE ME OR MY FAMILY AGAIN!

    When I went on a Friday it wasn’t super busy and I liked that. The inside looked nice but the layout for the bathrooms was kind of confusing. The service was great and our food came out fast. I loved the size of the chicken tenders and the texture of the breading but I wish it had more flavor to it. The potatoes & gravy were delicious and tasted fresh. The sweet baby carrots were way sweeter than I thought so I didn’t end up finishing them. I wouldn’t get those again. I had a Strawberry lemonade that was sooo good and I recommend it.

    Bring your appetite. The food is fantastic, they serve huge portions, the staff is 1st class, the pricing is very reasonable & the atmosphere is relaxed. Our waitress Allie was phenomenal. We will definitely be back the next time that we are in town.

    Highly recommend Cheddar’s! Even being a little short staffed the service was amazing and the Bartender rocked it out! My wife got the steak which was amazing the Ribs are my new favorite, overtaking Brisco County Wood Grill which is still my favorite Brisket. Cheddar’s sides are also great. Last but not least…… The appetizers are so good and could be a meal in itself. Can’t wait to go back even knowing it is 45 min drive.

    I’d give 5 stars but the server was awful. The girl reminded me of the girl from Devil in Ohio on Netflix. She seemed high and inattentive. She was very awkward. Definitely needed more training before putting her on the floor. I believe her name was Sierra? It took over 5 minutes to even come to our table. She slapped some honey croissants down and walked away. Didn’t even ask what we wanted to drink. Then came back took our drink order and then it took over 12 minutes to get our drinks. I put my appetizer and my sons kids meal in with our drinks. Then it took over 10 minutes to even come back to take the adult meals down. The food came fairly quickly except the cheese with my chips and queso had clearly been sat on the heating shelf for a little bit. The knives we had were dirty. We only got two sets of silverware. I had to go grab another pair my self and I had to get up again because I needed a box and she kept walking away. Took 15 minutes for me to get up and get my own box. Also my sons chicken tenders had some green stuff in it and it shouldn’t have been there but the manager fixed that. Took forever to get drink refills. The manager was FANTASTIC. Which is why I give 4 stars. He was very understanding.
