Service was to notch! Would suggest ordering the pot pie... it was delicious. The margaritas were well worth the money. My husband ordered ribs, he said they were a touch over done but this would not discourage us for going back.
Love the food. We just got chips and queso and a drink but it was good.
Nice place to eat. Clean and friendly. A calm relaxed dining experience. Food was served at great temperatures. My salad was crisp, fresh and cold. The hot dishes were cooked through and hot like ordered. All three of us really enjoyed our dishes. The waitress was very attentive. We spent $50+ for the three of us. I would recommend.
Tessa was our waitress tonight. Management: give her a raise or a bonus or something. Nothing short of hospitality our entire visit. She was quick and kind. A true professional. To the chef: the food was fantastic, and that is an understatement. You knew what you were doing for sure, and i was served probably the best plate of food i have had in years. If you are looking for a sit down restaurant, skip texas roadhouse and all the other hype. This crew knows what they are doing out here. We will be back! Thank you all.
This experience was nothing less than superb!! The food was incredible!! Each of the three entrees and one appetizer our table got were exceptional!!! We cannot wait to come back and have this food!! The croissants at the beginning were wonderful as well! So flaky, sweet, and delicious!!!
It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Cheddar's. The food was amazing and our waitresses was very nice. I highly recommend coming here if you get a chance.
We love coming to Cheddar’s! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and the portions are great. I had the Bourbon Salmon and absolutely loved the flavor — perfectly cooked with just the right balance of sweet and savory. My wife had the spaghetti and said it was delicious too. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing, and it’s become one of our favorite places to eat. Highly recommend!
Very good food and prepared nicely. Service was excellent and so was the clean dining area. I was very satisfied with my experience here for my lunch. 🙂
First time here. Our waiter Dylan was top notch excellent!! He was so down to earth and friendly and made us feel special and that we really mattered. He took great care of us, checking in at perfect intervals. The food was absolutely delicious and large portions. Tasted like homemade. We had to take half of our food home. I highly recommend and can't wait to go back!
I went into this restaurant fully prepared to leave a five-star review (I’ve been here before) and I was not disappointed. The croissants were delicious and flaky, as usual. The Caesar Salad was fresh and the chicken tenders and fries were hot and crispy. The bathrooms were also reasonably clean, which is always an extra star. I highly recommend this restaurant, and will be back.
