My waitress was very friendly hence one of the reasons for a star, the other was the view :) I got to see the fish. most of the time, the staff used the counter to put their trey to pick up dirty dishes. :( The food was rough, the French fries were dry, They tasted frozen! My burger had mo flavor, It was a tough meal to have . Would I go back? Probably not, it's not for me. read more

Classic go to place for really tasty comfort food. My grandmother and I went here for years and always shared a monte cristo sandwich. It will always bring back awesome memories. read more

Food is decent and the staff is really nice, but the dust on the blinds kills the experience for me. This is the second time I've been here and I thought, maybe the first time they just were behind on cleaning or something. Now I'm not so sure. read more

The service was fine server was sweet and polite but the manger Brittany was rude and honestly disrespectful. Will not be going back to place that think acting like that is okay. read more

Yikes. Best part of the experience was that we were seated promptly. After that, things went downhill. Server took a long time to greet us and get even our drink orders. As we had already had plenty of time to read (and re-read) the menu, we placed our food order with our drinks. Everything came out at the same time- drinks, food, croissants. Chicken pot pie had a thin, soup-like consistency. When we were able to flag down our server, she offered to have it remade. We were hopeful, but the second one was hardly much better. After several minutes again, we tried something different with the New Orleans Pasta. That, too, featured an incredibly runny sauce, but at that point we were both starving so we just ate it. Manager comped our meal, which was appreciated, but overall just an abysmal experience. We had gone with the intention of celebrating my birthday; after 2 hours and lots of frustration, there wasn't much of a celebratory vibe anymore. read more

My husband had the grilled white fish and I got the vegetable plate. Mine included the green beans, Cole slaw and a plain baked potato and a house salad. EVERYTHING was delicious. The service was great. We were seated in the bar area so the ambiance wasn't the greatest. read more

Monte Cristo tasted like water or paper or paint, something like that. Not good. Had to send it back after one bite. Ended up waiting 30 min for a table during a "15 min wait" and we had eight entire families go in front of our group who had arrived after us, and half of them had parties of 6 or more, compared to our party of only four. We were only seated after asking about our place on the list, hostesses seem to have forgotten about us until we reminded them. I was also interrogated over ordering a single drink by both our underage waiter and the manager because I didn't have my ID, however I am well of age and was with all of age adults as well. My dad's burger was flavorless he said and my brother's country fried chicken was extremely fatty and did not make his stomach feel nice. Loud chaotic ambiance with rude employees. Never coming back here again. read more

BEST $10.34 I've spent for a meal in awhile. I got the chicken pot pie (this is my second time in 3 days). "Delicious buttery flakey crust" just added a little salt and pepper. Mash potatoes from scratch not the box taste and that CHEDDARS GRAVY. I have them in my TOP 5. Stop cheating your wallet going to get fast food for lunch. Check them out for lunch specials. Was ready for pick up in 15 minutes. read more

3/8/24 We could not have had a better experience at Cheddars - Allen! Nine of us (neighbors) met for Friday dinner & drinks, as usual. We live in Heritage Ranch & always go to the "Corral Grill" in the clubhouse (open to the public) - but they were closed for updating. Cheddars does not accept reservations so I called an hour early & got on their Waitlist. We were given a table in the far corner. It was clean & we loved the wood & stone decor. Luckily we got Brittany as our waitress, she was very attentive and made multiple trips, serving us water, drinks , 2 spinach dip appetizers & their signature honey butter rolls, Yum! We had 9 different entrees so we kept Brittany busy. Everything was cooked to perfection & delicious- no complaints. Our salads were fresh & cold (best honey mustard dressing w/a little tang!). Our Fish, chicken & Baby Back Ribs & sides were delicious. My 1/2 order of ribs was so meaty I took a lot home. Brittany kept track of who was coupled & who was single & checked us out correctly. Thanks for a GREAT Friday night- it's about as good as our neighborhood HR Corral Grill - we'll be back! read more

In general, I like Cheddars. Our food was fine. But, this location is soooo understaffed. They could not manage to deliver our salads until after our meal. We had asked repeatedly. Staff apologized for the many delays. My drink finally came after the meal. In getting ready to leave, our server went to get one item, but never returned. We had already paid, so we just gave up and left. Our server was trying hard, but this place is just under-staffed. read more

Came out to eat with my sister and the food was good we got the smoke house burger, buffalo chicken wrap, the buffalo beer batter shrimp and the strawberry swirl margarita and the cheddar pain killer and I can say the cheddar painkiller was definitely worth it it honestly sneaks up on you our server Richard was really nice and attentive. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVe THiS LOCATION. This Cheddars Scratch Kitchen location is my favorite to go to them all! They get my steaks just right for a hig fucking chuck of the time! They know me and know what i like and they just do it! It's absolutely perfection! They are competing with most restaurants in my eyes. Even the high end lol cations such as La Hacienda Ranch! Cheddars have been the most consistent with my order and they make sure it s right. I adore them for their quality. Funny enough i did use to work at this location and I'm Glad that they're keeping up with the standard. From The staff that i personally got to know. Nevin the bartender, Brittany the kitchen manager and Matt the frond of house manager (also a shoutout to Josephine who helped me out at the bar! Im sorry im so late!) all these individuals help to make quality happen despite me asking more than whats on the menu! They're fantastic and I'm just a snob about my steaks. To get into the literal meat into it. i always get the fourteen ounce BLUE RARE cooked steak and this location always gets it right. Even if if super rarely come sout rare or medium rare, i cant stay mad at all. They do such a hard job that i turn the other cheek and make sure that they ate properly taken care of. Regardless with my steak, as a side i get the house salad, baked potato or the baked potato soup! Nothing wrong with the broccoli side of course! My beverages of choice are wither the top shelf sangria swirl frozen or the painkiller! Bar drinks but their prices are fucking fantastic! The desserts are going to be either the chocolate cake slice or the cup of dressed ice cream. One will be easier to handle more than the other after such a big meal! Seriously, focus ok what you want personally or share with a friend or two and the dessert with be yours! There are a few other items on the list such as the spinach dip, fried cheese or the ribs. There is plenty to explore so come give some love to the stacy location or your local Cheddars if they have the merit! Sure it'll a experimentation to find a familiar setting but if you need one! Stacy location has your back! Thank you Josephine, Nevin, Brittany and Matt of the Stacy location! read more

Great food choices, service is always attentive and your water, soda or tea never gets empty. Try the chicken pot pie. It's deeeeeelicious!!

We always have a good meal at Cheddars. Food is consistently good and cocktails are cheap.

We just tried to eat at Cheddars and the waitress never came by to take our drink order. Sat there for 20 minutes and she kept helping everyone else except for us. My husband talked to the manager and she acted like she didn't care. read more

Arrived at Allen location on a Friday night at 7pm and there was zero wait. Restaurant was filthy (you could feel grease walking on tile) and walked by booth with what appeared to be a tray of food dumped on carpet, left unattended with staff walking over it. Service was polite but VERY slow (we waited apx 30 minutes with no communication) and very inattentive (server was apparently not trained to pre-bus table). Food was the only highlight (served hot and tasted fresh). Probably will not return soon. read more

Never got seated, walked in to an empty restaurant yet no one was at the bar no one was at the host stand two girls watched me walk in and proceeded to give one another back massage. I'm sure the food is good like always but service was poor. read more

7 adults and 2 little ones and you sit us at a booth?! Both babies at the end of a booth?! Like how does that make sense to ANYONE? And I mean it was 8pm not super busy there were PLENTY of tables. And not to mention the extremely rude hostess who acted bothered by even having to seat us in the first place. We used to come to this location all the time... now... every time we try to give it another chance it's a disappointment and we're reminded of why we don't come here anymore. Got offered a $100 gift card last time we had an issue (yea... it was THAT bad) and we will NOT be using it at THIS location. Y'all legit suck. read more

What was once an actual decent lunch stop has now turned into one step above (if that) of McDonalds. It's amazing that you can go in at 2:30 on a Friday afternoon and wait 10 minutes at the front stand and have numerous waitstaff walk by but not anyone to greet inbound potential diners. After the 10 minute wait I left and went to Uncle Julio's which far more busy yet I was greeted quickly and seated. Cheddar's has seen it's day apparently and needs to shut down. The food and service on the two previous occasions to today's was less than stellar so I will not return and will be letting my friends and family be aware accordingly. read more

The food was good. Parts of it could have been better. The chicken fried chicken was extremely chewy in parts, snd the mashed potatoes had some sort of film on top (seems like they might have sat for a while). The wait to get in was short - literally just walked right in! The wait for our food on the other hand was crazy - we got seated and it took nearly 50 minutes for us to even get our food. Luckily I had some great company to pass the time. read more

I really don't that I am that difficult to please, but this is my second time attempting to enjoy a meal at this location. The first time I came about 6 months ago...I walked out. I waited at entrance about 7-10 minutes and nobody came out so I found my table. The hostess found me and told me that a server would be right with me...5 minutes later we stood up and walked out. Round two, Saturday morning 11:55 am. I was greeted enthusiastically at the door by two very friendly young ladies. So far so good...The complimentary croissants were fabulous. I ordered the lemon-Pepper chicken. I believe they are precooked or at best frozen and microwaved? They were dry, really dry. Wait or was friendly...not observant. He brought tea with just about five ice cubes floating around the top. I asked him for a glass of ice and he brought one quickly. My son enjoyed the cheeseburger but the fries were heavily souses with salt. I am not sure why they do that when salt is readily available at table to season to taste. Service overall was fine but with all the competition in this market, I will most likely never return. read more

My family and I decided to try this Cheddars in Allen after we drove around and shopped a little. We had only been to this location 1-2 times before and it was always ok so decided to go back. It was a Sunday afternoon, around 2 pm, when we arrived. While we had a short wait ahead of us, I went ahead and went to wash my hands. Restrooms were clean so that was good but it seems after this, everything else went downhill quick. First, the table where we were seated was not wiped down and had some sort of sticky substance all over it. I had to ask the hostess to send someone over to wipe down the table. Then our waiter was taking a while to get to us. I honestly think they are short staffed because I noticed she was taking care of about 6-7 tables. When she finally took our order, we waited once again which seemed longer than our chips and queso came out. The chips were not good whatsoever. They tasted like they were left out in the open overnight and had no taste of freshness on them at all. I let her know how stale the chips were and she brought out another batch of chips. This time, the chips looked like they were all from the bottom of the pile. They were all little pieces of crunches... Our food eventually came out. I ordered the shrimp plate with mac n cheese and fries. The entire plate tasted like it had been sitting under the heating lamp for hours. The mac n cheese was barely room temperature and the fries were the worst fries I have had in a long time. Overall, our visit to this location was not pleasant and very likely we will not be returning to this place. read more

Ordered the grilled pecan crusted chicken salad. The chicken was fresh and tasty. Enjoy the multitude of large sugared pecans in the salad. I felt like I was having lunch and dessert at the same time. Also liked the honey mustard dressing. I was surprised to receive the glazed croissants complementary with lunch. Unfortunately the croissants were not as good as the salad. They lacked the butter taste that a croissant should have. But I really enjoyed the items I paid for it! Also, our server was excellent! read more

What a day! I don't do reviews but I want to warn everyone!! This was my first time going to Cheddar's... the other reviews were right. Server was OKAY but the place was so dirty, crumbs everywhere and the glassware was not clean. I saw the croissants were good, I got them but they were raw in the center. My partner went to throw up in the restroom and left the restaurant with an upset stomach. We got the bacon cheese burger with fires, which was alright. There was no salt, it was just dry hard fries. At this point just go to chick fil a or a McDonald's. Overall it was a very bad experience. And left disappointed. Ps. The tablets on the tables to check out were disgusting. Dry crumbs and sauce all over them. read more

R U N. Waited over an hour for two lunch meals... Called four times after receiving a text saying my curbside order was ready. Politely asked for a refund... Hung up on twice. Now waiting for the manager Matt to connect with corporate for a refund. Will update in 2-3 business days if no avail. read more

Great dinner last night. Anthony our waiter did a great job. Checked on us just enough and at the right time. Just as we were getting low on our drinks he was there to take care of it. No delays. Quick to be seated. Got here at the right time. Didn't take a picture of the food. That's how hungry I was after a 13 hr day at work. Had the sirloin steak with the chicken strips. My daughter had the chicken salad (enormous) son had the kids alfredo pasta and the wife had the salmon. Everything was done great. read more

Hadn't been to Cheddars in years but I was craving a mouth watering croissant. There was a wait but we went shopping in the mean time. The waiter was very attentive and nice. He confirmed they discontinued my favorite dish the grilled chicken and shrimp with mango salsa. He suggested the tilapia and shrimp that was delicious. Food was tasty and croissants came out warm and perfect. read more

They are just so filthy here. The two newest pictures are the first impression as you walk in. Their carpeted floors are full of food and wrappers once you get inside and they don't wipe down the tables or seats very well. Not sure why we tried to come back. At least the first time, it wasn't filthy walking in so we at least got to eat. read more

Went to Cheddars on Mothers Day. I've never been here before, but as my wife and I drove around, I saw a really long line to a food place... this must mean great food... so we stopped and ate there. Service: C+ Food: B Ambient Setting: C Waiter: C+ Price: B+ Will I return: Yes Will I brag and call friends: No I can't really benchmark what Cheddars is since it was Mothers day and VERY crowded, but I can say for the price I left with a good taste in my mouth. They were out of the Spasagna so I ordered the Chicken Alfredo (yawn). My wife ordered a Pot Pie (yawn) We both enjoyed our meal and Cheddars was somewhat child friendly. One reccomendation, Can you please get some crayons so parents can entertain thier children? read more

I ordered the Country Fried Steak and mashed potatoes, green beans (not pictured) and it was delicious ! The complimentary croissants were AWESOME .

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Texas Margarita - American Near Me - Allen, Texas

This was one of the worst experiences we have ever had as customers. The drinks took a way too long to get to us, our waiter played 20 questions with as we tried to order, continuously interrupting, and our to go box took asking 4 times and talking to the manager twice for it to make it to us. It is absolutely ridiculous. And the people next to us, bless their hearts, it was a girls birthday and they waited an hour after ordering to get their food. The floors also are always a bit slick in there but it's only been our second time there. The food was really good actually, we enjoyed the food. But much like our to go box, our receipt was wrong and asked to get it fixed 2 times and same for refills. They charged us for every refill and for extra chips. Those were taken off eventually but it took a while, as everything did. Hire more staff, that will help. read more

This restaurant has the slowest service I have ever experienced. After waiting almost an hour, We got a hamburger that was so overcooked it tasted like rubber, after asking for medium. The broccoli casserole was super dry. I asked for a second glass of wine, waited 10 minutes, he said they're pouring it, waiting another 15min and he brought our checks asking if anyone told me that they ran out of the wine I ordered. No. He even charged me for the wine I never got. I've been to other Cheddar's and never had the problem. This location needs new management. read more

FILTHY!!! This used to be a great restaurant. Things have changed! Charming hostess tried to seat us at a dirty table and grabbed dry paper towels to "clean it" for us. Not sure the employees are trained on Covid cleaning. Silverware had bits on it. No warm water in women's restroom. Paper towel roll in women's restroom set on counter not in dispenser for all to touch I asked for pepper and was brought a dirty pepper shaker. I was with others but couldn't eat. read more

A friend and I came in around 1:00 for a late lunch. We wanted a drink so we asked the server what he recommended. His response was "I don't know maybe a margarita?" Not the response we were expecting so we asked for a sangria. He brought us out a margarita with a sangria swirl. NOT the same thing. Lol Apparently he only knows how to put in a margarita to order. Another person came to take our food order which we thought was strange. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice and beans. I can't remember what it's called but it's on their lighter side menu. When our food came out a chicken fried steak was put in front of me. Not even close to what I ordered. Eventually the correct meal was brought to me. Overall an ok restaurant. Food was decent but service needs a lot of work. I probably won't be back read more

Had a birthday dinner for 5 here. Our waitress was very good All of our food was good except our son's rib eye steak. It was very flavorful but he had to Cut around an inordinate amount of fat, more than Half the steak. When we told our waitress the manager came over and did not appear to be too concerned. She did comp half of his meal. She was almost rude, really should not be a Manager. read more
