Very busy so I sat at the bar. The bartender was working hard so it was a few minutes before I was greeted. Ordering dinner and my drink was fast and the bartender was very pleasant and friendly. Entree came out cold but was promptly replaced. Food tasted fine, priced okay, but just wasn't overly impressive.
I haven't been back since before the pandemic, but wow they really improved the taste of their already great food. I got a chicken tender basket with a new honey hot sauce and wow it was AMAZING! Sat in the bar area, stellar service from the bartender, and we (2) even got alcoholic drinks, and he got a delicious steak dinner, and it was less than $60. Will come back again!
Our first experience at Cheddar’s was awesome! The food was great, the service was great, the ambience was great! The croissants that they give you before the main meal are so buttery and delicious, they also add a unique touch to the experience. I got the New Orleans Pasta and it was very yummy, but the chicken in it had a little gristle, but that wasn’t a big deal. The chicken tenders, fries, and cheesy broccoli casserole was delicious, too. The dipping sauces make the chicken tenders even better. Their food reminds me of my parents cooking. We’ll definitely be back to try their other dishes. :)
The food was picture perfect, my burger was so perfectly medium cooked just exactly what I was expecting. The service was just not up to par, we had an older gentleman Noble, I’m surprised they are not making the wait staff wear masks. I’ll be polite and say he was more spraying it and not so much saying it. He placed himself a little to close by pointing at the food on the table. I also asked for a side of Mayonnaise, which I didn’t get from my waiter. I had to ask another member of wait staff but by that time had come my burger was already cold. The great manager took care of all our issues. And my mom got a brand new pot pie and side salad.
Five of us decided we were tired of the pandemic (all of us have been boosted) and visited Cheddar's for lunch. To our delight, our server presented a complimentary tray of warm, cinnamon/honey crossants to our table. That was the beginning of a tasty meal. My husband got the grilled shrimp Alfredo which was excellent. They were numerous deliciously spicy shrimp in a creamy sauce. We both agreed that it was the best we had ever tasted. The pot pie called to me. It had a buttery crust, many chunks of moist white chicken, vegetables, and just enough gravy for binding. I also enjoyed a caesar salad and a frosty Blue Moon. Everything was delicious. The other members of our group got the grilled chicken or grilled chicken salad. Everyone was pleased with their meal, our server was attentive and courteous, and prices were OK.
My boy took me out for my birthday lunch. We had a great time. Service was amazing. The croissants are to die for. Everything we was delicious. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive
So fantastic!! The Trio appetizer is such a value! Try the Tropical mule. You can't go wrong with the Monte Cristo or the Pot Pie! Everything is wonderful! The Honey Butter Croissants are amazing!
Flight arrived at ABQ at 9:30am. Finally picked up rental car and headed up I-25 to Santa Fe for a couple of days. We were hungry since we had left home in N.C. at 3:30am. Though it was just before 11:00am there quite a few cars in Cheddar's parking lot so we gave it a try. It got off to a rocky start and I had gotten up to go ask WHERE our server was since we had been sitting there for 15 minutes and no one had even asked our drink orders. As I was asking someone where the server was, I looked back and she was at our booth. She actually turned out to be a very good and informative server and we enjoyed our meal so much. My husband had the chicken pot pie and a side salad that was almost to pretty to eat! I chose the combo chicken tenders and coconut shrimp. We both had sweet tea to drink. She took our orders and returned with our beverages AND the largest, most delicious honey drizzled croissants I have ever tasted. Oh, my!!! My coconut shrimp was fried to perfection---so tender and flavorful. The chicken tenders were good, but I thought too much batter on them. The fries that came with them were not warm, but I only ate a few any way. My husband's salad was perfectly chilled and he said the chicken pot pie was really good too. There were actually plenty of large chunks of chicken and lots of veggies too. He really liked the crust! We were too full to even think about dessert. The meal came to an even $40.00 and my husband left a cash tip. We returned there a few days later for our lunch before our flight back to N.C. Our server was Enrique and he was great. He brought us 4 honey drizzled croissants right away and took our drink orders and we both knew we wanted the coconut shrimp. I substituted the fries for the broccoli cheese casserole. I didn't want a 2nd side, but hubby had broccoli cheese casserole and the fries which were HOT this time! Too full for dessert again! The total of this bill came to $38 and change. We left a $7 cash tip because Enrique was great. Doubt we ever visit the ABQ area again, but if we do......we are heading straight to Cheddars!!!! Too full for
Oh much gawd. Best place we've eaten out in a long time. Its cheaper than olive garden and better than them. It was a MAD house Friday night. There wasn't even parking and said a 45 minute wait. It took maybe twenty. We had this super cool old dude for a waiter. He was great. The price was amazing. I had steak, she had chicken strips, our son had shrimp and fried chick and the daughter in law had chicken Alfredo that made everyone jealous. It was good. So good. A beer, and two amaretto sours,and artichoke dip. And all that was $88 dollars. Couldn't believe it. We live in Tucson and we hope cheddar is just as good as ABQ. I can't believe we never ate there before. Thank you for a new favorite. Whoooo!
Our food server was sweet and personable. She watched our water glasses well. Unfortunately, I had to send my salad back because it contained dairy and wheat, which I had ordered without. The baked potato was satisfying! My friend also enjoyed her salmon and said the bread was dee licious.
