    Food was good, usually is better. I found an eyelash in my soup, as soon as I got it and asked the waiter to give me another one. he was upset, but brought me a new bowl anyways. Overall cheddars is still a great restaurant.

    Today friends from Fort Pierce visited us and after the service we went to Cheedar from New Haven RD, Melbourne for lunch. I was delighted with everything, the service, the food and the price was exceptional. It will definitely be our choice in the future, we will even recommend it to our friends!

    The service here is excellent, the waitress we had was super prompt and definitely 100% on top of things. The food was amazing. Our favorite appetizer was absolutely the honey buttered croissants, they were so fresh and light and fluffy i probably could have downed a dozen by myself, no joke. It's added to the list of places we'll come again.

    Have been coming here for family dinners and birthday parties. Food is always great and consistent in flavor! Servers are friendly and accommodating. Totally recommend their Key West Chicken n Shrimp, Country Fried Chicken, and Serloin Steak. One complaint - Please maintain a clean restroom. It seems like they don’t check restrooms very often. I always see the trashes full and toilet paper rolls on the ground.

    We stopped going here a few years back as the consistency in the quality of food was spotty. We tried it again and did not regret it. Sat at the bar and the service was quick! My hubby and I split the Buffalo chicken sandwich and the Wisconsin curds. Both were fabulous. Crispy on the outside and did not taste greasy. Asked for both ranch and blue cheese. I loved the ranch surprisingly. It is made from scratch. I had their Texas tea and it was soooo refreshing. If you had a bad experience before please try again.

    Husband and I got Chips and Salsa/Queso for an appetizer. The queso was pretty decent. The chips were incredibly salty, as in we had to wipe some of them off before they were okay and others were just inedible. The salsa is heavy on the cilantro, so if you are one of those people where it tastes like soap, best to avoid altogether. The drinks were good. I had an Island Tiki, very sweet but not too much so. He had a pineapple coconut Mule, which was decent as well. Dinner itself was Buffalo Chicken Wraps for me with a loaded baked potato on the side, hubby had the Country Fried Steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. The wraps were huge and had good flavor but fell just short of spectacular, I think it was the slaw like filler that crumbled everywhere that did it. It had almost too much flavor that it was fighting with the chicken. The loaded baked potato was meh. A bit short on flavor to be "loaded" since I don't eat sour cream it was just butter and shredded cheese... which didn't really melt into the potato, leaving me under-whemled. The Countey Fried Steak was good. Nice breading texture and the steak was tender but it overall lacking in seasonings and flavor. The mashed potoes were okay, but a bit more seasonings would again, not go awry. The gravy was heavy on the milk or cream flavor and overall just tasted "off". The green beans however, quite stood out as the best flavor on the plate. They were tender without being mushy and had really good flavor over all. Our server was super friendly and while it took a while to be served.... we could understand why as the tables next to us kept getting incorrect items or missing items from their order (not his fault, other people from the kitchen were being tasked with bringing out food which I find strange as they brought our appetizer to the table next to us and served it to them before the table stopped them and we were able to let them know that it was ours...) So, while I understand that Saturdays are a busy time for restaurants... the kitchen staff needs a bit more polish as well as some of the wait staff. And perhaps they should revisit having other staff deliver food to tables that they aren't in charge of so that items don't get missed or taken to the wrong table. Just a thought. So while the evening wasn't a disaster, it just was not an experience we wish to have again, so do with that what you will.

    Pretty good experience here. We're from Indiana so it was something kinda new, never have been to a cheddar's. Food was nice and hot and seasoned well! All people in the group lived their food as well. The service was awesome and loved the fishtank!!

    Everything here is delicious! The spinach dip has just a little zing to it. The croissant's are amazing. The buffalo wrap doesn't have to be buffalo if you're not into the spice. Chicken Alfredo is my favorite, but the pot pie is good too. The salad's are huge. The service was great too! Definitely worth trying!

    Ok. Thats about it. Mediocre on the food. Service was great but would probably not go back.

    Ashley, our waitress was the highlight of our visit. Her attention to detail was impeccable. There were some issues with our food and she was on top of it before we could even vocalize the concern. She literally looked at our food and knew what was off. I do not recommend the steak as it was totally not seasoned. The New Orleans Pasta was good, but be sure to request extra sauce. The croissants are absolutely delish!

    I've gone to this Cheddars for years, and they used to have quick service and quality food. The last experience was terrible, to say the least. We were seated and never received our silverware, but the drinks were served quickly. 60 mn later (yes, 60 minutes later), the salad arrived, and we had to ask the waitress for silverware. She says that someone will be bringing it sometime soon. 10 minutes later, the manager brings silverware out. He wasn't apologetic at all and acted like it was totally normal to have the silverware come out to the table after the salads. The salad was mostly the core and lacked flavor and color 1-star. The chicken pot pie was hot, delicious, and just as good as I remember it 5-stars! The veggie plate sides were lukewarm, and the carrots looked like they had been in a warmer all night! We asked to get some fresh ones, and they came out just as bad as the first batch 1-star. The chicken alfeto was lukewarm as well and lacked flavor 1- star. We had to ask the waitress multiple times to refill our drinks, and they didn't take the salad plates until after we had gotten our dessert. I understand that restaurants are low on staff, but I got taco bell quality service while spending $100+. The manager ended up taking the dessert off the bill, but it was too little too late, and he seemed disinterested with helping us. The manager never apologized for the wait time for the salads, no silverware, or even help with getting the dirty dishes off the table so we could enjoy our food.

    My waitress was super nice, very attentive! Quick seating and no wait for after work around 5p. The food was good but unfortunately not hot. The chicken tenders were smaller than back home and other Cheddar's locations. I'd give it another try if ever in the area though.

    This place might get busy, and for a reason. Good food, good service. I ordered grilled shrimp Alfredo. Plate was big and delicious. They treated me with croissant

    My friends and I have wanted to try Cheddars for a while. We finally got together and went. What a disappointment. The drinks were way too sweet, the food was bland. The service was wonderful and the place looked clean.

    Cheddar's has a great menu.. something for everyone. We celebrated a bachelor party with about a dozen guests. While a separate room would have been nice, the staff did accommodate and gave is a nice corner area away from crowds. The service was fast and not rushed. Good atmosphere, good food, good friends.

    Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen (Chain Restaurant Review)-2130 W. New Haven Avenue, West Melbourne, FL 2.5-Stars Just another entry into the shallow end of Brevard County's dive chain restaurants, where our most prosperous residents eat on the cheap. Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, formerly known as Cheddar's Casual Café, is an American restaurant chain based in Irving, Texas. Founded in 1979 by Aubrey Good and Doug Rogers, the first location was in Arlington, Texas. Today the chain boasts 185 locations across 29 states, including Florida, which houses 23 Cheddar's eateries on its own. Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted by the gleeful Heidi, who has an amazing smile. She does indeed set a very high standard for what's to come. My waiter Trent presents himself much like a famous drummer, who mistakenly stumbled into the wrong gig. He is easily a top 5 server 2nd quarter earner. Trent is best in class. I know...right now you're likely asking yourself, "Who the heck orders a steak at Cheddar's?" A Texas T-bone, medium rare no less? Big Boy does. The steak was perfect. It tasted great, successfully achieving the difficult goal of balancing aroma and flavor. While this certainly can't touch the premium and unforgettable experience of feasting on tender, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth Japanese A5 Wagyu, for the price and considering the place, it's quite good. Here though is where I'm left in a state of utter aporia, perplexed, befuddled and confronted with the stark contradiction of an admittedly good steak, nestled among other woefully substandard cuisine. The Monte Cristo fried sandwich: "Smoked ham, smoked turkey, two cheeses battered and fried until golden with raspberry preserves and dusted with powdered sugar" sounded appetizing to my ears but sadly, punched well below average to my tastebuds. The French fries were also subpar, adding to an already below average meal. The green beans were lacking in texture and taste; they were...mushy. I'll single out the mashed potatoes, as they literally clung to the roof of my mouth, much like paste to a seven-year-old in the 2nd grade. The paste at least had flavor. Big Boy says, "There are better steaks...hard pass."

    Came for dinner with my wife and kids. All the food was good except for my fries, they were kind of stale and old in texture, but hot like they were in the microwave. Everyone else's fries were good. We also split a monster cookie and it was delicious! Our server was pretty great too, unfortunately I didn't get his name.

    OMG!!! DEV…. You rock! Your service was outstanding and superb! Keep smiling and upbeat; you’ll go far in this line of business. Our family adored the awesome customer service and food delivery. With 1 small hiccup “Stephanie “ could definitely use some 1:1 training tips and customers care relation service from you! Stephanie your attitude was strong and wrong!

    The waitress was very friendly. Ordered the steak and tenders which the steak was very well seasoned and cooked well. Enjoyed the Wisconsin cheese bites.

    If you're feeling famished, look no further because this is the perfect place for you! Prepare yourself for generous portions that will leave you happily stuffed. In fact, we had to pack up half of our meal to enjoy later—it was that filling! And let me tell you, the food itself is absolutely delicious. Every bite is a burst of flavors that will make your taste buds dance with joy. You won't be disappointed! Now, let's talk about the service. It was nothing short of exceptional. Our server, Brianna, deserves a standing ovation. Not only did she take care of all our needs with efficiency, but her vibrant and cheerful personality added an extra sprinkle of joy to our dining experience. It's amazing how a friendly server can make everything taste even better!

    Pretty good I was able to get it warm and definitely will be back. 5 stars for the honey butter glazed croissant soooooo delicious that is a dangerous item to get.

    We went here for lunch. Our waitress was also our bartender, and she made the drinks really well. I would likely not return as the food is pretty normal yet priced like a higher end restaurant. The cheese bites appetizer were the best part of lunch.

  • 3/5 Anna-jeanne 2 years ago on Google
    The service and food has really gone downhill unfortunately. Our server was unfriendly and seemed lost. When dropping things at the table she rarely asked if we needed anything else. When we asked for something it took much too long to receive it. She also did not know the menu well. It took far too long to receive our meals and the food was mediocre. The best part of the meal was dessert.
