    BEST waiters I think I've ever had at a chain restaurant. John O in the bar was our waiter and was very attentive to us. Refilled drinks without being asked, and promptly put our orders in for apps and meals. The woman also working at the bar was tag teaming with John O, but I didn't get her name. Both of them were fantastic and attentive to all tables in their area. Loved the fish tank and mood lighting inside the restaurant; it was a very chill atmosphere. The food was okay. I got the shrimp alfredo, and my boyfriend got the New Orleans pasta dish. The New Orleans was definitely better than the regular alfredo. I just feel like the plain alfredo was a little bland; it needed a little more spice or something to it. Our cheese fries appetizer was incredible, but I recommend splitting it with three or four people. My boyfriend and I split it, and honestly, it might have filled me up too much to enjoy my meal. The honey butter croissants were also delicious. All in all, I think the wait staff surpassed my expectations more than anything. They definitely deserve the most praise.

    Large portions, Thin Alfredo. The food was good, really good, but that Alfredo sauce was thin thin thin. Barely any there and it needed just a bit of salt. Place was beautiful though. I've seen a lot of positives for their honey butter croissants, and they were good but not amazingly so.

    Celebrating a promotion at work and let the daughter choose the restaurant. We enjoyed the atmosphere and just being together. The food was good and our server Amanda was so sweet. She worked hard. Last time we were here was for Father’s Day 2016. I’m glad we came back.

    Had the sirloin steak and ribs. The ribs were fantastic. Wasn't crazy about the sirloin but I am not a big sirloin fan. Waitress was fantastic.

    really enjoyed eating here. The staff was great. The restaurant very clean. Let's talk about the food. One word. Fabulous. Very family friendly. If you haven't tried the yet, please will love it too.. I had the New Orleans pasta and my husband had the Fish and Chips as well did my friend. The fish was fresh and hot when brought to the table. My pasta had chicken, sausage, and Shrimp with onions bell peppers and nicely spiced. Also we had the Spinach dip. How can I forget the croisants? So soft and deliciously sweet. Here are some pictures.

    Cheddar’s Elizabethtown had friendly staff and had delicious food. Restaurant was clean. We had visited this restaurant twice already (a week apart) and on both occasions and the experience had been delicious and good! Our waitress knew the menu and suggested a few items! The croissant were the ultimate deliciousness…warm and flaky! Ribs falling off the bone. Steak and shrimp was also good. We had tried the lemon chicken and the chicken pot pie and coconut shrimp. Had a pain killer drink-very good sweet and delicious drink! Overall experience was A+

    We had “Dijon chicken & mushroom” and “14oz Ribeye”. They both come with 2 side dishes. We had corn on the cob, fries, beans, casserole. Everything was juicy & delicious. The price was reasonable too.. But they don’t have draft beer, only serves bottle.. The only reason I gave them a 4 star because their drink “ cheddar’s pain killer” was a disappointment. Sadly, it was nothing but a glass of sugar water.. But I really liked their food :)

    Alrighty, we ate here for an early dinner. We have been here a couple of times and have not had a bad experience yet. Cheddar's is a good all around restraunt. The service is good, there isn't much of a wait, the food portions and quality are good and the prices are average. The inside is easy on the eyes and has a relaxing vibe to it. Great place for a date or family night out. Ate here again recently. Went during peak dinner time, but still wasn't too crowded. Service and food were still good. Did get a little expensive after adding appetizer and dessert.

    The complementary croissants are amazing! I ordered the chicken tender salad, and it was huge! I couldn’t even eat half of it. Really good though!

    Rushell is an outstanding server. Polite, eloquent, and doesn't make you feel rushed. She's very tentative and is a prime example of how every server should project themselves to be. Very people friendly and genuinely concerned about her patrons needs. 🥇

    I went here to order takeout, went into the bar to order the food. The bartender had to place my order except when I walked up to the bar she ignored me and then when she finally acknowledged me she said she'll be right with me. 7 or 8 minutes later her manager walked through and she pushed me off on him for him to place my order. He placed my order and then somebody else walked in to pick up his order from her, she had a receipt problem and held him hostage in the building because she couldn't get the tip receipt to print like she was trying to force him to give her a tip for a takeout order that she didn't even place. Tip guilting people is pretty low. He said it's come out of my bank account. Why am I still here? And she gave the reason that if she didn't have the tip receipt she could just enter $1,000 and nothing could be done about it so she wanted it for him to sign. But he had already paid for it, She was trying to say she wanted him to tip her without saying that. she was trying to tip guilt him. He said I'm leaving it's paid for goodbye. She didn't get a tip for me either because she tried to guilt-tip the guy in front of me and she pushed me off on her manager who actually did all the work and not her and I wasn't really willing to deal with her trying to guilt me into tipping her. So I signed my receipt, flipped it over and left. Bartenders are usually some of the friendliest people I meet, except this one. A chip on her shoulder for no reason and she wasn't earning her tips, she had an expectation. I would have been more than willing to tip if I didn't have the interaction that I had and didn't observe her treating another customer similarly.

    Everything was awesome, I just loved it. All was greater than I expected. The service was incredibly nice, our waitress was really nice and the food was speechless. The appetizers, the sweet buttered bread at the beginning and that cookie with ice cream at the end, just incredible. The only thing I didn't like that much, were the fries!!

    Food was great! Ordered a ribeye steak rare, and that is what was served. The waiter forgot to bring the side of mushrooms with the meal, so he brought it a minute later but didn't charge for it. The sides are small, I would consider them a half portion. The place was packed, and we were told the wait would be 40 minutes but were seated in less than 20. We were served immediately once seated, and the wait for the food was short even though they were at full capacity.

    Server was super sweet. They had a little wait but either call ahead seating we were sat immediately. Food was good and prices were cheaper then outback and Texas road house. They had a lot of meals with shrimp or shrimp combinations. I don't eat shrimp and they found a way to ring it up appropriately.

  • 5/5 Jacqueline B. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was delicious!! Was extremely shocked that my sirloin was seasoned as good as or better than any other chain steak restaurant in the area. My dad got the chicken tenders and it was more than he could possibly eat but said he felt was some of the best he'd tasted. My mom got the blackened fish and she also agreed that it was seasoned perfectly and was delicious

    The hostess & server were very nice. Food was top notch, so the kitchen staff did great! The only weird thing was the Wifi on my iPhone 13Pro max didn’t have any signal when we got there to let them know we had arrived for our Waitlist appointment. But the restaurant experience was enough to recommend again! Prices were acceptable. Staff was helpful & friendly. Yes, we will be back.😋

    After having a bad experience with Texas Roadhouse with a racist manager, my family decided to come here and it was great! Great service, great attitude, great food :) our waiter suggested Sunset Cocktail and it was delicious. Get it. You won't regret it.

  • 4/5 Stephanie B. 5 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Great location; easy to locate. There are plenty of parking spots. Had about a 15-minute wait on a Sunday afternoon. I got the blackened white fish. It was a little rubbery, so I did not finish. The broccoli and rice had good flavor. Ceaser salad was a little overdressed.

    It was a party of 7 of us for my cousins 18th birthday.. the wait was longer than anticipated but the manager Zach was super nice and gave us a complimentary appetizer and dessert.. our waitress Nadia was super nice and friendly and was great at her job. We all had a great time filled with laughs and great food , we will be back!!!

    The food was delicious. Our server was outstanding. She made sure our order was correct and our food came on time. Great place to eat with family

  • 2/5 Sabrina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Was not impressed. Ordered my steak medium rare, knowing that most restaurants overcook their food a little, ended up well done. Mushrooms taste like they came out of a can. Mushrooms and soup were upside down in my bag when it was brought out. Definitely not somewhere I would order from again. I regret spending the almost $35.

    Leela was my waitress and she was great. My steak was a real steak packed with flavor.

  • 4/5 John S. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a good family place. Food is good quality and our server really did a good job keeping cups filled and making sure we had all we needed. Keep in mind that they do nor have large tables so a group of more than eight would have to sit at separate tables. Overall a really good place.

  • 5/5 Ashley B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the best experience this evening. Our waiter Sean was incredibly friendly and totally picked up on our style of joking and was joking right along! Food was wonderful but sometimes the staff will make or break an experience and he totally made our night! Thank you all for a great dining experience

  • 5/5 Joshua S. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this cheddars! The people there are always so friendly and we hardly ever have a wait when we go here. The food was delicious as well!

  • 5/5 Joshua F. 2 years ago on Google
    Honey butter croissants?!!! When you get to the table? Wow. Wish they had this restaurant where I'm from. Service was amazing. Ribs were very good, tender and meaty. We had no cell service at the restaurant, but the moment we drive out of the parking lot it was back to full service - found that odd and worth mentioning.

  • 5/5 Jordan W. 2 years ago on Google
    An incredible eatery that looks expensive, yet is cheaper than a lot of nicer (Nice to me, at least) sit-down restaurants. You could reasonably expect to spend ~$20 per person for a meal, drink, after tip and the portions are significantly larger than you might expect (And that's coming from a Columbus native, where are portions and restaurant choices are among the highest in the US from what I can tell). Outstanding decor, price, and quality & quantity of food. I'll be keeping an eye out for this chain when I travel!

  • 5/5 Cazbaz1982 2 years ago on Google
    Great service. Kind hostess. Good food. Sometimes the broccoli casserole isn't cooked long enough so the broccoli is too hard but most the time it's great. The grilled chicken almond salad is amazing. The crescent rolls are amazing and you have to order extra for only two bucks.

  • 4/5 Salih A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good was fantastic. Flavorful. Hot. Whitney hosted well. Very clean inside but the restroom was horribly filthy. It’s opening time, so the restrooms should have been cleaned. We are the first guests to arrive this morning. Please make sure they are cleaned and this will be a 5 🌟 review/restaraunt. Thanks.
