While we were excited to see they brought the onion rings back to the menu they aren’t nearly as good as the onion ring, “tower” that they had discontinued some time back, BUT the cheese curd appetizer is amazing. By far the best pre-meal option. On this day our server was a top notch young lady. Very courteous and prompt. As a meal I enjoyed their double chicken fried chicken meal for $15.99 that included two sides. Add in the complimentary glazed croissant and I left very happy. This was a great dining experience overall.

Glad to say O'rings are back on Cheddar's menu. We ordered them as our app. There were just enough for the 4 of us. The dipping sauce that came with them was just ranch dressing. As usual, 3 of us ordered their renowned chicken tenders with honey mustard. Unfortunately, the tenders were a bit small and their honey mustard was a tad too spicy for us. The side of fries we all chose were "soggy" / not good. One ordered a fish item covered with shrimp and she loved it.
This location needs a refresh. The carpet was down right ugly and generally cleanliness throughout was lacking. Blake was a good waiter.

Fresh and delicious! The honey butter croissants were melt in your mouth and the salads crispy. We had salmon with carrots and corn and coleslaw as well as chicken fingers with shrimp. The shrimp was a little overcooked and there could have been a larger serving of rice with the salmon. Everything else was superb. Our server, Madison was wonderful. We barely beat the rush so prepare to wait for a table. It’s worth it!

Eating out post-Covid is so often a disappointing experience. Food quality/value is lower due to inflation and supply issues. Service quality is lower due to staffing issues. But not here! I took my mother and two of her friends out for a belated Mother's Day dinner and, while we all agreed the food was top-notch, our server, Justin A., provided a level of service rarely seen today. He was friendly, polite and respectful to the older ladies in our group, engaging them in conversation with a level of maturity beyond his years. Thank you, Justin, and thank you, Cheddar's, for a delightful experience!

I’ll start by saying we love Cheddars and until the last 6 months have never had a bad meal. The past two times we have ate here it has been “trash” yes “trash”. We had cold Tilapia and the manger “Lindsey “ came back with barely warm Tilapia and an attitude. This time 12-16-22 we gave it another try. This time I get Chicken strips. My thought was who can screw up chicken strips? Wrong. Chicken strips were room temperature and fries were older than gas station fries. Sent them back and manager “Lindsey” brought them back her self just as cold as before. Seriously? It’s chicken strips. I’ve had better chicken strips at a gas station. What manager doesn’t check to make sure food is fresh after it is sent back? Embarrassing! So disappointed.

The staff was super friendly even though we were there on a busy Saturday night. We had to wait about 35 minutes. However, when we were seated we asked to be placed in a booth to which the staff said "no problem". We moved within 2 minutes without having to go back in line. The waitress was super friendly and checked on us regularly. If you haven't had one of their honey croissants you are missing something incredible! Our main dishes were wonderful and cooked perfectly. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

We had to wait about 25 minutes but they had a nice system where they texted me a link to their wait list and I was able to refresh the browser anytime I wanted to see our current position on the list. Our server Ty was friendly and helpful, very patient with the restlessly active 5-year-old we had with us. I had the Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad: Grilled chicken, fresh greens, tomatoes, carrots, cheddar and jack cheese, glazed pecans, and it was quite good. My husband had the grilled salmon and liked it.

I ordered a hamburger to go. It has been about a year since I had ordered one. This was the worst hamburger I've had in 60 yrs. No semblance to the previous real burger from there, but definitely my last!! It did not appear to be made with 100% ground beef, but with fillers. It was gray and cold in the center. It was indescribable. I never write reviews, but I couldn't believe how far Cheddars has fallen.

The Hillbilly and clan tried to pop in to our local Cheddar's for a quick bite to eat. Sadly, there was nothing quick about our visit.
We were in a hurry so the daughter unit could get to a nearby pet store before they closed. Only being 3 minutes away from said pet store and having 75 minutes from closing time, we thought we'd try to get in and out of Cheddar's in a timely manner. Boy, were we wrong!
We were seated quickly, but that was the only thing that went quick. The waitress came by as soon as were seated and took our drink order, then we didn't see her for 10 minutes. Normally, that's not that bad, but it took another 10 before she took our order.
It took almost 30 minutes to get our food (on a Monday early evening) so we had 20 minutes to eat, pay, and get out the door. We made it to the pet store in time, but I was NOT happy about having to inhale my food to make it happen.
Cheddar's has always been our favorite go-to restaurant when we have time. Sadly, I don't think I'll trust them anymore when I don't.

Having never eaten at a Cheddars before we were pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu and quality of the food. Our table of six adults ordered steaks, pasta, chicken strips and coconut shrimp along with chips and queso. Everything was delicious! Those honey butter crescent rolls are divine! We had THE best server EVER! Kelly (the mature brunette) was fabulous. Very personable and funny. I seriously kept thinking we must know her...she made us feel so comfortable. She kept the drinks filled, dishes cleared, responded quickly to requests and we just loved her! We will definitely be Cheddars customers for life.

So very good, great food, good service. The free honey butter croissants were amazing. 2 of us had grilled whitefish and it was so good. The other person in our group had chicken fried steak and loved it.

Great service, good food and a good selection. Not from here and looking for a place to stop and eat dinner and found Cheddars and thought we would try it. It was closer to 8pm when we got there so main rush was over on a Sunday evening. Teen son had the chicken strips and fries, we both had the salmon with bourbon glaze, sweet baby carrots and green beans. Food was delicious. They did bring out our food before the appetizer that got misplaced maybe but they didn’t charge us for the appetizer and they did still bring it out. Errors happen and they handled the mistake appropriately. Otherwise, nice family atmosphere and it was clean. Would recommend.

Ordered their version of chicken fried chicken. The meat wasn't actually chicken breast. It was a compressed rubbery chicken-like patty.
The mashed potatoes and green beans were good.
Extremely disappointed. I've never ever had this served to me before and have eaten chicken fried chicken in many restaurants as it is my go-to choice.
Giving it two stars because if the entree is inedible the restaurant is failing at its main job.

We liked the price point, but the service wasn’t anything special. The steak was way better than we expected and I mean it was more flavorful than a $25 steak at a steak house. The Montechristo was also good, but the burgers were meh and we never were offered refills and our server was hardly there. Maybe it was the Covid-19 restrictions, but if we go back it is because we are gonna order 4 steaks to go

They have excellent margaritas for $4.99. I had the blackened salmon with green beans and corn. The Salmon is served over a bed of rice. It's just too good for words. We split a Monte Cristo sandwich which is the best Monte Cristo we've ever had. We popped in about 3 pm so seating was immediate which can be problematic in this Covid distance seating requirement.
