    Amazing Top Sirloin Steak  & beer yum
    Mary B.

    I have to say lately I've been on a steak kick and cheddars did not disappoint! I mean look at my steak (pic was included) it came out juicy and delicious, it's perfect with a beer or 3, so yum! Absolutely my favorite meal! Besides our food being perfect we had an amazing waiter! He was so nice and knew the menu! Super friendly made my kids comfortable when ordering. And got our order right! I love it when we get amazing service. We enjoyed our visit ! Keep the beer flowing and the steaks grilling and I shall be back! That's all for now ... buh bye y'all

    Chicken Tender Platter (No. 8 Special)
    Kevin R.

    This place is always so consistent. Good quality, good food. Came here with coworkers, party of 6. Service was spot on. No complaints. I'm hungry just thinking about those buttery croissants.

    Onion Ring Stack...this is about half the order.
    Mary H.

    Great service. Nice and clean. Wonderful fish and chips. The onion rings are home made and amazing!

    Yummy menu.

    We had a Cheddar's gift card that we had received and had dined at Cheddar's for quite a while. Neither one of us wanted to cook so we decided to head to Cheddar's for dinner. We arrived right smack in the middle of the dinner run but didn't have to wait at all, we were seated immediately. The restaurant was really hopping, there were very few unoccupied tables. Our server greeted us cordially and took our drink orders. While waiting for our beverages to arrive, my wife and I looked over the menu. She's a chicken tender sort of a gal and that's what she ordered, chicken tenders with French fries and Cole Slaw. I decided on the country fried steak accompanied with mashed potatoes with cream gravy and southern green beans. I also decided to order a house salad with Bleu Cheese dressing. While we were waiting, an order of Cheddar's incredible fresh baked croissants was brought to the table. After biting in to one of them, with the icing drizzle, I thought, why not cancel the country fried steak and just eat croissants for my dinner! Heck, I'm an adult, well sort of, I can do that! After an acceptable wait, due to the restaurant being so busy, our entrees were delivered to our table. Our food was plated very nicely, the presentation was good. My wife said her chicken tenders were really good and she loved the French fries, fried and seasoned to perfection. My country fried steak was OK. I should have sent it back, but I knew how busy the kitchen was and I didn't want to wait for another one to be prepared. As you can see in the photo, there were parts of it that was really overcooked, over-fried. The coasting had separated from the steak cooking the meat inside too much, with the oil getting under the breading, the meat wasn't tender, but way overcooked. My sides, the green beans and the mashed potatoes were both very good and well prepared. At a later day, we'll head to Cheddar's once again and give them a whirl. I'll definitely order something other than the country fried steak.

    Waitlist

    I saved my full appetite for this. On a Sunday, We joined a 15 minute waitlist @7:15pm due to a large party. We then got sat at 7:29pm, By the time we got sat we were ready to order. Our server Nehemiah had everything cleaned and ready for us to go with the fresh croissants. Not even 10 minutes later our food was ready,fresh, and hot getting served before our beverages. Nehemiah went above and beyond to give us the best experience we could have. I've never been to a Cheddars and was out that fast and smooth. The food was great, along with the server. He deserved a great tip. 10/10 location.

    Ceasar Salad
    Stephanie W.

    I love coming to Cheddars. It definitely satisfies my cravings for delicious Monte Cristo sandwiches. If you've never had one, it is a must try tasty fried ham, turkey, cheese sandwich fried topped with powdered sugar and served with raspberry sauce. So good! I love the complimentary croissants and the side ceasar salad is great. Chicken tenders are good and very generous portions. Broccoli was cooked just right, and fries are well seasoned. Prices are also reasonable and portionsare good. Our server was fast and friendly and no wait time to get a table. Solid spot for a meal.

Have been back since then. Talk about your corner hole in the wall type places. It's located in the middle of an L shaped strip building. Inside is clean, and spacious. Nothing fancy here, but plenty of tables and a few booths. They have a covered outside patio, which might even be fully enclosed, with some pool tables. The bar location is on the back wall, with lots of seating. Full bar, with a reasonable amount of draft beers, and several good ones along with the normal commercial swill. I sat at the bar both times, and got great service. First time I did the usual and checked out the salsa and queso. Both were good and didn't taste like pre made stuff. If it was, well they picked a couple of winners. The serving was more than ample, more then I could eat over the course of the visit. Second time I went back, I was going to make a point to try the onion rings since they looked so good in the pics. As I was looking at the menu I noticed they had a Montecristo sandwich. As I've mentioned before, I have yet to find anything that even remotely comes close to the holy grail of MC sandwiches, the one and only made by Bennigan's. Of course, I ordered it, and the onions rings. I'm happy to say the MC here is the closest I've ever come to find. It was really good, and the jam served with it was also pretty dead on. It was a little nasty like it should be, but not as greasy as it should be, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. The onion rings were really good, even if the batter was flaking off a bit. Anyway, I like the place, wish I could drag myself out more. Been customers here every time I've been, but not as many that should be. They also have a digital jukebox so if you're here and ever hear something bizarre playing, it's probably me. Service and staff have always been very good. They know how to make a pretty good margarita as well, and prices are very good.

We also noticed they have trivia, we will be back for trivia this weekend when we have time. We are glad we found this spot. Can't wait to go back! Edit- the above review was 5 stars, I stand behind that. However, we returned and our experience was not the same. Our server spent so much time at some tables and not at all at others. We were basically ignored and when we did ask for things like ranch dressing we had to ask multiple times to get it. Maybe it was because they are busy on Saturday when football is on and UT was playing, or it was because he kept making fun of some law about not vaping with the table next to us, or he is somply an awful server. At one point the table next to us had been ignored for so long they just went to another table. I wish we could do that but I think 40 minutes into being there is a bit late to move. I say all that to say we will give them a third try before marking it off the list. We will not however sit with him again. PS - we did learn that they have a great list of local craft beers, the table next to us were regulars and they pointed out all the taps. We like this!

I ordered the pork chop plate, and the server kindly let me try both a fried pork chop and a smothered one since I couldn't make up my mind. I also had fried cabbage and yams. The cabbage had a little unexpected heat to it, but that's actually the same way my family cooks theirs, so I ended up really enjoying it. One thing that stood out to me was the staff.
