I had the ribs and stake plate. The ribs were amazing! But the stake wasn't that good.. I have been to cheddars before and I have enjoyed it but the Allen location is just so busy that you can't really expect good service. I would recommend you trying this place though. read more

The food is always tasty and plentiful. The drinks are very good. Prices are very reasonable. I have been with the family and with a group of friends. Great place to go when trying to please many tastes! read more

We go to this Allen location and Garland at least 1-2x a month. I prefer the Allen location over the garland Bc of the service. I like their lay out and their fancy fish tank. Don't like the long wait that we get half the time and I wish they had more things on the menu. But their portion sizes are big and its a kid friendly atmosphere but not dirty and messy. read more

I only gave one star so I can leave a review about my experience tonight. I used to frequent this cheddars often until I realized their constant shortage in staff and just lack of quality. So tonight was a celebration dinner in welcoming my niece home from days away from camp and we go to cheddars. My server was awesome but they seem to be short staffed as always. I ordered a drink and ten minutes later never received it. I seen on the bar what looked like my drink and decided to go up and get it because I'm more than capable. As I explained to the very rude bartender with the long red nails I would like to pay and take my drink, she looked in her system and seen that I was not sitting at the bar and threw my card down walked away and basically said she has no tab over here. I ignored that, as about 3-5 servers stood around looking confused and not interested in helping, a different server walked by and fixed the situation. As I'm now walking back over to my booth they're carrying on in conversation and snickering and I asked the server if somethings wrong and he kisses at me and tells me God bless. Extremely unprofessional, the then "regional" is called over to diffuse the situation. I've been a regular to cheddars for at least 3/4 years and never experienced such disrespect. As the regional tried to diffuse the situation with the excuse "I don't know any of these serves and we're short staffed I'm sorry," I didn't appreciate that. First I'm a brown person and I believe my skin had a lot to deal with my situation tonight. If your team will behave like that with their regional in the building what does that say when you're not around? I will NEVER enter another cheddars after tonight and told the regional Patrick that and all he could say was "I'm sorry to hear that." He was very nice in his delivery but had no remorse for my experience. Even after Patrick had claimed to speak to his staff as all of this was done in front of many they continued with stares and snickering. This is just my warning to my fellow brown people think twice before visiting this location, they don't value our business. read more

Oh wow! I love this place! I either get the steak or the chicken fried steak everytime I go! (Both are very good!) The steak is perfectly cooked for a place like this! The honey croisants are DELICIOUS! We get them as appitizers! They are kind of messy, but are deffinatly worth it all! They are decently priced too! If I remember correctly, it was 3 for $5! On some of the plates you also get them as sides! Anyways, the ribs are a little dry. They barely put any bbq sauce on, but you can ask for some! The meat on the ribs are good though (besides the fact that sometimes it's a little dry!) The baked potato is always very good also! Especially if you get them stuffed! The Texas Platter is one of the best! It has tacos and chicken but you can order theee sides. That is all an apetizer, but it's good to share as an entree if you're that type of person! The hamburgers are huge, and very juicy! They are very large though, so if you're not that hungry order from the kids menu! But it's pretty well worth it if you're in that kind of mood! (: My friend gets the strawberry lemonade everytime that she goes, and LOVES it! There is usually a wait and they do not take reservations... odly. ): I love the place, it's definatly one of my favorites! (: read more

Consistent Service and there Butter Croissants are Delicious and there Chicken Pot Pie isn't too bad either.

My fiancé and I stopped at Cheddars tonight to have their chicken pot pies, which are normally the best you'll ever eat! Tonight, however, they were horrible! The pie was filled with chicken gristle and the vegetables were under cooked. We let the waitress know that the meals were not good. She said she would tell the manager, but she didn't. We just hope this is not an indication of future food quality. read more

Had a great Saturday afternoon meal. Food was fresh and delicious. Tex as cheese fries were great. Server Rashad was excellent. We will be back. read more

I tried the cornmeal fried fish. I thought it would be just like the other Cheddars I ate at a few months ago. Well I was wrong. The fish was nothing like the other Cheddars in mesquite. I like the waiter and manager. They made it right I asked for something else and I got it. I tried the fried chicken over a waffle. And yes it was so good. read more

Terrible experience. We had been moved from one table to other, where dining, yes where dining, without explanation possible. I suggest Cheddar's management to change the incompetent, untrained and not polite people, from the premise manager to the host ladies. I felt like a second class citizen (hope that was not because my strong accent). Againg where dining. Incredible. read more

We love Cheddars but being older is a challenge in itself and when we go out to eat we always go between 2to 5 p.m. it would be so nice if the music during the hours when the older customer usually dine would be turned down. The other hours it could be blasting like it normlly is. We can't hear the waiter or talk to each other. Yes, with hearing aids it is even harder when there is such loud music, I know because I wear hearing aids. I know alot of other older customer feel as we do because some of our friends have said so. I hope this plan could be used in the future. read more

The food is always consistently good at this Cheddar's. We have never had an issue with the wait staff nor the food. It is always hot and as we ordered it. We will definitely continue to frequent this Cheddar's. read more

Waited 10 minutes before a waiter even took our drink requests than another 10 minutes before they were delivered. Food took a very long time and when it did arrive I had to wait another 15 minutes before I could get the requested mustard. Food was very good but the service was horrid. FYI as we were about to leave (yet another wait for the check) we heard the table besides our complain to a hostess that they have been waiting a very long time for a waiter to take their drink order. I thought to myself, "it doesn't get any better." read more

I recommend do not eating here unless you have non slick shoes.. my family and I went to eat here and I almost slipped in the bathroom because the floors were slick... While coming back to my table I stopped my waitress and told her what happened and all she said was that they're always like that.. I seriously need to buy non slick shoes just to go eat here? Hmmm. read more

I used to go to Cheddar's and had not been to a location in DFW. The service was a bit slow to start which wasn't a huge deal. We finally ordered margaritas which were very reasonably priced and let me tell you, you absolutely get what you pay for. This was the single worst margarita I have ever tasted. It had to have just been sweet and sour mix. I tried to drink It but after a couple sips I couldn't stand It any longer. It took about 15 minutes for our server to get back and I asked him for a beer. I didn't want him to comp the margarita necessarily but he didn't even ask me if there was something wrong with It. It took probably another 10 minutes to get the beer and then I just immediately asked for the check because I was over it. Ultimately I paid $22 for two fish bowls of sweet and sour mix and a draft shiner. The server seemed to be a mixture of utter confusion and complete apathy. If I ever go back to Cheddar's it will be too soon. read more

I would not recommend this location. We had a party of 10. 2 of us ordered the Triple treat sampler with a Caesar salad. After 15 minutes the waiter came over and told us they were out of potato skins ,we asked him if we could have cheesy fries and nachos instead , he said yes. 15 minutes later he came back and said he couldn't do the nachos but he could do the cheesy fries. My friend asked if she could have a baked potato? He said yes. After a 40 minute ordeal we got our food (everyone else was done eating) and it was not that great. We got our salad before anyone else but no croissant we was told that it was baking, it came out after our food did and it was not cooked thoroughly. Everyone In the party had something wrong with their order. Wrong drink, no bread with lasagna ( she did get it when the doughy Croissants came out ,which means she was done with her meal) and wrong order( she just ate it because she did not want to wait) . After all this, we did not get to speak to a manger or a discount. This would not have bothered me if it wasn't such a big ordeal and the food was good. I will not be back. I recommend that you don't either. read more

I used to love Cheddar's but it has really gone down hill. We went for a late dinner recently. Our server was friendly, but must have had tables in another area (we were seated at a booth in the bar area) because she would be gone for long periods of time. We ordered the triple appetizer platter and it took FOREVER to come out. Since we ordered the large appetizer, we decided to split the chicken tenders and fried shrimp dinner. Weirdly enough, there was WAY less food on the dinner than the appetizer. The chicken tenders on the dinner platter were more like nuggets. They were literally only a fraction of the size of the ones on the appetizer, which were the large ones we've always been accustomed to receiving there. The ones on the dinner platter were about a quarter of the size - tiny and crunchy without much actual chicken. It came with a tiny portion of mac & cheese that tasted like stuff from a powdered mix - definitely not scratch made as the name implies. The skimpy portion of cold fries that came with it were not good either. Our drinks sat empty for long periods of time throughout the meal. I think we can safely call that our last visit to Cheddar's. read more

We usually like Cheddar's but the service tonight was not great. Maybe we expect too much bc we seem to have this problem consistently at many of the "casual dinning" places...like Chili's, Applebee's, Cheddar's..etc. No drink refills and apps come out with the food. At this visit we specifically asked that our salads come out before the meal. They came out at the same time. We didn't eat any of the salad and asked that the server take them back. I don't want to eat a salad while my food gets cold...especially when I have been waiting 30 min since we sat down. The server's response was not..how can I fix it? It was "This shouldn't count against me." As in...you better not take this out of my tip. Well let's see when the check comes if the salads we didn't touch are on there....and indeed they were. Also no refill until we were done with our meal, we sat there with empty glasses the entire time. read more

WoW! If you have three hours, and energy to spend begging someone to take your order, well then go for it! Our experience today was...well it was comical! We thought we MUST be on TV, maybe What Would You Do, or something along those lines. First it was average busy - we signed in and waited to be seated. The foyer was cleared by the time we were given a seat. We were given menus and seated at a table in the "cocktail" or bar area. We sat - looked over the menu, had friendly conversation, looked over the menu some more, put our menus down, engaged in more friendly conversation...and waited....and waited....a person in our party decided to go look for our wait person. He found the manager who said he would take care of it and offered an appetizer of onion rings on the house, then disappeared. We engaged in more conversation and perused the menu further as we were running out of conversation and getting more hungry. Oh we got there around 2:15 pm on Saturday, they were busy as we expected...nothing out of the ordinary. Well, around 3:15, I decided to go track down our wait person so we could maybe get our drink order in, get some water, or something. I approached the hostess stand where I was asked if we seated ourselves or were seated, I told her we were seated, after waiting, for quite some time at this point. She said we hadn't been assigned a wait person. when I got back to our table, the complimentary onion rings met me at the table. We munched on the onion rings, still waiting for our drink order to be taken. When the onion rings were mostly gone, we didn't really want them in the first place, I went up to the bar and saw a woman who looked like she was closing out a cash register (maybe a manager??). I asked her if we were on TV or something, maybe some hidden cameras...you know like the show What Would You Do? show? Because wait staff were seriously walking past us, and we no one had stopped to get our drink order, much less our food order!! She looked at me with much consternation and then I heard someone behind me, it was the guy from the bar...he stepped in to say that he would personally check in to it and if nobody was assigned he would take care of us. FINALLY!! After a bit of a wait, he showed up at our table, took our drink order, our food order, and we were FINALLY able to have lunch...wait...it's supper by now....HE was mostly attentive and the rest of the meal went mostly normally from there. But COME ON seriously? Just WOW. They comped the onion rings, which we really didn't want, they comped an ice tea and one of my margaritas...and on the way out, others in my party were not convinced that was enough so they went and found who they were told was THE manager, it was not the person that said he was the manager two and a half hours earlier. Ironically enough, he gave them a "free appetizer" coupon...to encourage us to come back for another three hour lunch/supper. I said they could keep it. I wouldn't be back. The food was average, nothing spectacular. As for service, well, they really didn't care about this table or these guests...so why on earth would I ever go back??? Seriously- there should have been cameras. If you want to be ignored, demeaned, and really build up your appetite, GO tell them I sent you! LOL have a good day, good luck to ya!!! read more

We've been going to this location on at least a monthly basis since we moved to the area in June 2015. The food is always exceptional and when you dine in, the service has always been great, even though the wait is usually 30-45 minutes. Because of this wait, we usually place a to-go order. Even though it's to-go we also usually tip $4-$8 just because the prices are so reasonable and they have the food ready in a fairly reasonable time. However, our order is almost always wrong when we get it home. Either something is left out, or we got what looks like 10 fries with our order, or something is just entirely wrong all-together. Sometimes we catch it and we have to wait another 10-15 minutes for the rest of our order to be prepared, other times we don't catch it. We live just far enough that it's really not worth the bother to go back up there and correct the mistake just to have the rest of the food cold. Because of this, I give them 3 stars. Those ladies in the front just hanging out until a table is opened up and they can seat a customer, why don't they help with the take out orders, even just verifying? The bar seems to be lacking the detail necessary to get this right on a consistent basis. read more
