    I like to do carryout at cheddars. You can place your order online and they have specific spots for to go orders in their parking lot. You do not even have to get out of your car. They brought my order out to the car in less than five minutes from me parking. The portion size here are always good and one of my favorite dishes. Is there Caesar salad with an extra order of croissants.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Family friendly restaurant serving up homestyle cooked food for a reasonable price in a casual environment[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] i ordered the country fried chicken to go.amd it was delicious . It came with a perfectly battered chicken breast, mashed potatoes ,green beans, texas toast and white gravy on the side. I was also given a honey buttered croissant which was divine. I could eat a whole basket full.

    We got together for a family dinner for my mom's birthday. Cheddars is her favorite, the broccoli cheddar casserole yes! She loves to eat here when she visits me because there are none in the northern part of the state where she lives. It was 5 of us and we got our table less than 10 minutes of walking in. Our server Shelby,was outstanding. She got our croissants and drinks out immediately. Then she took our food order shortly after. Everything came out nice and hot without any issues. The sweet lady came and checked on us multiple times and the manager came by a few times as well. Since they caught wind that we were celebrating my mom's birthday as we left she offered to take a couple photos of us. We had a great visit and will be back and we will be sure to ask for Shelby.

    Cornmeal White Fish Platter with Southern Green Beans and Red Beans & Rice

    It has been over five years since I reviewed this location of Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. I think five years ago they were simply known as Cheddars and now the "Scratch Kitchen" is also part of the name. The name of the game here is consistency. The restaurant still looks like it was built this year. The food remains consistently excellent. Service was very fast, efficient and correct at noon on a Thursday. I am still ordering the Cornmeal White Fish because it is hands down the best thing on the menu in my opinion. I only order one portion of the Green Beans now because I love their Red Beans & Rice. The RB&R tastes so good because it is exactly the way you would find it in New Orleans. They must slow cook their green beans too because they still taste awesome and are soft, just how I like them. There were plenty of parking spots available out front by the front door.

    **0 Stars** A Total Waste of Time, Money, Energy, and Stomach Space This dining experience was a complete disaster, largely due to our server Bryson, who clearly doesn't care about his job. He was unenthusiastic and inattentive, forcing us to order appetizers via tablet after waiting for 10 minutes to be welcomed. To make matters more questionable, he even asked my 25-year-old boyfriend how old he was instead of simply carding him when he was already reaching for his wallet. The spinach dip was lackluster, lukewarm, and watery- tasting like it was made with frozen spinach. Despite requesting sour cream on the side via the tablet, it was dolloped on top. Chips and queso were mediocre, and our food took over 45 minutes to arrive after we were seated at 8:43 PM. It was supposed to be hot but neither tasted fresh nor warm--makes no sense. The ribeye was the only semi-decent part of the meal; seasoned well but didn't look appetizing and tasted rubbery- we brought the leftover steak home for our dog. Everything else was so disappointing. The cheesy broccoli casserole was passable, the Caesar salad was forgettable, and the rest of the food was underwhelming: the ribs were average, and the chicken was soggy instead of crispy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To top it off, the restaurant was dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, this was the worst dining experience we've ever had. We had to start a note with the running list of complaints from the evening to add into this Yelp Review. Avoid this place at all costs. I tried Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen for the first time at the Greenwood location with a friend and I ordered the exact same meal. I was so happy with my experience that I left a 5-star review! I figured this CSK was closer to home so I wanted my boyfriend to try it, I was so excited in recommending that we go here for dinner. The entire dinner I kept apologizing for bringing us here. So completely and utterly disappointed.

    We drove over an hour to eat here yesterday because we heard they started making the onion rings again. Only took how many years of complaining to get them back. Everything was delicious. Wish they would open a location up in Noblesville area. Everyone else is building restaurants here.

    Overall, you can never go wrong with Chedadars! They have a large menu and you won't struggle to find something that sounds good. I typically get the chicken pot pie (which is phenomenal) but I branched out and got the grilled white fish today. It was pretty good--it's just always going to be difficult to beat a great pot pie, in my opinion. My partner got the steamed broccoli side and wasn't a fan. He said it tasted like it came from a frozen package. I'd recommend getting the green beans instead. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is always clean and service was quickly and friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    griled salmon with bourbon glaze, sides of carrots and beans & rice. #yum #ReviewsByRL
    Raena L.

    Had lunch with coworkers on Friday (7.19.24). Our server was very pleasant and attentive. We started off with the honey butter croissants they bring to the table. Sooo tasty! For my meal, I had the grilled salmon with bourbon sauce, and my sides were rice & beans and the sweet carrots. The salmon is actually also served over a plain rice, but the side of rice and bean with the andouille in it is very delicious. The carrots were tender. My piece of salmon was good and the side of bourbon glaze for it really made the meal. I ate everything! My corworker also had the salmon but blackended and a baked potato; my other coworker had one of the salads with fried chicken strips, which were three large pieces. #yum #ReviewsByRL

    If you know me and if you know my dining habits, then you're likely very surprised that I find…read moremyself a fan of Yats. I don't have a particularly adventurous palate. My body's digestive system isn't the greatest. I tend to go for familiar staples rather than risk-taking cuisine. I have weird texture issues and don't really love my flavors all smooshed together. So, why do I love Yats and why did I insist on finally visiting this Avon location as I wind down my time working on my father's Putnam County estate (one county west)? It starts with the service. It's not what I'd call gregarious. It's calm yet friendly, hospitable yet not smothering. As someone who is introverted yet social, I feel comfortable here. It then goes to the atmosphere. Every Yats I've been to has a stylish, warm vibe that combines culture with art and just the right amount of humanity. Then, there are the prices. There are only a couple price points for Yats (unless you do add-ons like beer). Pricing is simple, consistent, and you know you can get a good meal for a fair price. I guess I should also mention the food. I don't know. I hate smooshed foods. I hate odd textures. I love Yats. I was introduced to Yats with the Italiano, a concoction I don't see often on their chalkboard-written rotating menu that always lets people know which dishes are began, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. My other "go to" option is the drunken chicken. Both have unique textures and smooshed flavors - yet, I love them. Every location I've been to is pretty darn accessible. Employees will assist if needed, though they won't assume (which I appreciate). This location is accessible, beautifully decorated, and as soon as you enter you can't help but feel like you've entered a cajun world smack dab in the middle of Avon. Yats, a mini-chain now in Indiana and Ohio, was started here (right on College Avenue). You used to see the owner pretty regularly - a little less common now with 14 locations, however, the New Orleans vibe is present at every location. Good food. Fairly priced. Pleasant atmosphere. Yep. I love Yats.

    My daughter loves this little chain, so we have to go there any time she is in town. I don't mind…read moreas I do enjoy the food. Unfortunately the food doesn't agree with me any more, guess it's an age thing, gives me heart burn. But I love the taste so occasionally I can't resist. As everyone else already mentioned: get the extra bread to sop up all the goodness.

There were about 2/3 tables full, which is good for a Sunday. Our server Jason was friendly and good about keeping track of all our requests. They have mocktails! I got the Blushing Sangria. It was delicious and nicely fruity and not too sweet. I've never drank before, but my boyfriend said it tasted like the original kind. They have a pretty extensive beer list here, and many of them are local choices. For appetizer, we got the couscous Mac and cheese balls. These are pretty close in nature to arancini, but with more cheese. My main course was their weekend dinner special, with prime rib accompanied by white cheddar mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. The prime rib was absolutely amazing, nice and tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were also great and are a very smooth consistency. For dessert, of course we had to get a pizookie! The triple chocolate delivers on its name. Served hot, it is well worth the wait after two courses of deliciousness. They have TVs around the bar area that have sports on. At the time, basketball and nascar had the most coverage. I wish they had the closed captioning on, since that makes it easier to tell what goes on if you're not right at the bar. The bathroom is kept clean there. My boyfriend and I are sure to come back on the weekday special going on, with select entrees and pizookies for $13 - what a deal! Hopefully this is sooner rather than later!

They had the doors open to the outside which gave it a fun, lively atmosphere. There were games like a basketball hoop, scooters for the kids, Connect Four, and cornhole, which added to the experience. TVs were everywhere, and with the Final Four game on, it made the vibe even better with music playing throughout the patio. Our server, Dajiah, was friendly and gave great recommendations, which we appreciated. For a bigger crowd, she was on it. For drinks, I had the Pineapple Smash (crown whiskey and double shot) and it was very good, definitely one of my favorites. I also tried the Blackberry Smash, which was just as good. My husband ordered a Blue Moon since they didn't have Mango Cart. He later tried to order a whiskey sour but ended up with a whiskey bound, which he didn't care for, though I thought it was decent. We started with the garlic knots appetizer with cheese and marinara, and those were good. For my meal, I had the salmon, which normally comes with rice and another side, but I swapped for a side salad and broccoli. I really enjoyed my salmon and broccoli. I got turned off from my salad because of one small issue. There was a hair in my side salad, but they handled it. They took it back immediately after I informed our server, remade it, and our server also offered to remove it from the bill, which I appreciated. My husband got the smash burger and fries, he said it was really good. It was a great time with good food, fun energy, and a lively patio setup. Definitely a spot for good vibes and accommodating to a larger crowd.
