I had a great time with friends. Cheddar’s is a nice place to bring family and friends to. The staff was attentive to the adult table and the kids table. The food was cooked perfectly, the portions were just the right amount to finish. No leftovers.I liked the steak and shrimp especially the butter croissant ? with the side of broccoli cheese casserole and french fries. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the signature cocktail drink ? I should have ordered a regular pina colada instead but I’ll definitely go back to try the rest.

This was my first time at Cheddar's today and it was a absolutely amazing experience. We had the Monte Cristo, #8 Chicken Tenders, Cheddar Bites and a Pain Killer. Cheddar's is a made by scratch kitchen and let me say that you can tell that by the quality of their food. Also one of the best parts was our wonderful waiter Jake Andrew!! He is top notch and he takes complete care of his customers. So if you are looking for amazing food with amazing service come give them a try and ask for Jake Andrew you will not be disappointed!!

Our server Ty made our experience nothing short of exceptional! Tonight was our first time visiting this restaurant, our daughters invited us and we will definitely come back. The food was great and the prices amazing. We are grateful for Ty. Such a kind, sweet and great server! If you want to be well taking care of, I can reassure you, if you request her, you will! ?

Great atmosphere and service! Loved the croissants! I got the chicken with the Dijon sauce and green beans with the broccoli cheese casserole. My son got the New Orleans style pasta. Both main dishes were good, the green beans weren't seasoned at all though. My son said the pasta was dry (there were patches of clumped pasta in his bowl). However we'll give them another try the next time we're in this area.

The service went up a notch to deserve an extra star for this review! I haven't been here in at least 5 years and today reminded me why we stopped going. We got here at 3:45 in hopes to avoid the dinner rush and I must say, the wait time was only 45 mins. I went with a dish that I thought was a safe bet, country fried steak. Our food came out pretty quick, but somehow I forgot to order gravy with my country fried steak, my bad... Before everyone dug into their meals, we all forgot to order silverware. Luckily, the restaurant ran out of metal silverware so we got bagged plastic instead. For me, it was a slight challenge using plastic utensils to cut into my steak up but once I did, it tasted like dry disrespect with I don't care seasoning. The only thing that help the steak go down was the single glass of dr pepper. This experience was awesome, and I hope to be back in 5+ years. Lastly..... RIP to the plastic fork that sacrificed itself for my selfish need to feed myself.

I've only been here once and the food was delicious! I had the Monte Cristo sandwich with fries; and not only was it wonderful, but the serving size was ample enough that I was able to take some home for later. The slight error on my bill was corrected quickly and efficiently (and understandable as we were a party of nine, with separate checks!). Kudos to the Cheddars staff!

This is a great place when you are trying to go on a nice date but your not trying to break the bank. Each guest gets free butter croissants with their meal. Waitresses are welcoming and friendly and when asked will tell your their recommended choices on the menu. Drinks are great and I highly recommend the Pain Killer.

Meh. Freezing inside, uncomfortably so. They did adjust temp, so that was good. Service was very slow; 1.5 hrs for basic dinner. Server got my order wrong, slow on drink refills, never got our 2nd order of croissants. Food was ok, but daughter's dinner wasn't hot. Hubs says we were there years ago but I don't remember, maybe because it was a totally forgettable experience than as it was today

Some of the chicken tenders I've ever had and the ribs were very tender. I'm always happy with what I get here and would gladly recommend it.

Went for lunch. Service was great. Our waitress was great. She even got another waitress to come over and sing Happy Birthday! Food was good.
