Sucky service horrendous meal. Also, after that they didn't put enough Alfredo sauce on the chicken alfredo plus it was cold. Finally,the French Fries didn't taste very good,didn't change out the grease traps,and waited 45 minutes for our food read more

Yelp didn't have much info for Bowling Green, so we turned to Trip Advisor for once where Cheddars was the #1 restaurant. Now I know why we stick with Yelp... The food was good, but not great and the service was downright awful. We were seated surprisingly quick, but then we sat for close to 20 minutes before a server took our drink orders; acting like she came to save the day and throwing her coworkers under the bus for not attending to us quicker. The manager came right afterwards and apologized that they had a big party that they weren't expecting, but he would "take care of us" and everything would be ok from then on. We never got our drinks, our entrees came out about four minutes after we ordered and our salads came out about two minutes after that. Again, the manager apologized profusely and brought our check with a charge for the two salads that we sent back still on there. We probably would have laughed if we weren't so grumpy and tired. I understand being in the weeds, but we definitely were not the only table with problems. Hold off on seating more tables and allow yourself time to catch up instead of having a restaurant full of angry customers. Unfortunately we'll probably never get another chance to try them again, but I'm not in a huge hurry anyway. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Chicken fried steak with broccoli casserole and coleslaw - American Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Cheddar's is a fairly large chain, but the food is consistently good. That is why we sought this one out as we traveled through Bowling Green. Did not disappoint. read more

The food is always good. And the service is usually good,the servers are thoughtful and courteous.However the door windows are always smudged and the floor in the lobby is dirty! read more

I've given this one more than one chance. The service is slow and the food has never been much to brag about. Really disappointing since I have been to other Cheddar's locations in other cities that have been better. I still give it two stars because if they can get their act together, they offer good portions for the money. However, if they can't turn around the motivation of the employees from the kitchen to the servers, this one won't even be worth the time! Tip: watch the shrimp....they have a good taste, but they can't seem to grasp the deveining process (maybe watching a few you-tube videos would help)! read more

We came here about 30min before closing. There were three of us. They only had two cold, old croissants. What a joke. Then, upon ordering, we were informed that they probably wouldn't make fries for us so we had to get baked potatoes. Third issue, one of us ordered a drink and it didn't even have coconut on the rim or any of the stuff they were supposed to put on the rim. If we would have known all of this would have happened, we would have eaten elsewhere. Plus the food tasted like the quality was very cheap. I'm think we're good on cheddars. read more

It was a very great experience and they have awesome self, if your even in the area it's a great place to check out plus their food isn't too high. read more

Cheddar's has the best food. Their Burgers and Chicken tenders are so yummy and also chicken dijon is my favorite.

My favorite restaurant for sure. The food is always fresh and so good, service is pretty good and their atmosphere is good as well. Their lemon pepper chicken is the best though, hands down. read more

Seating was quick even though I hit them at lunch. Sam did a great job of serving me even though she never stopped. She was very busy. I ordered the Blackened salmon salad with steamed broccoli and southern green beans. The meal arrived in a timely manor and prepared just the way it was ordered. This was the best lunch I've had this week. read more

This the second curbside order they have screwed up, and this order was FUBAR. Gave me the wrong entree, didn't get our baked potatoes, the food was cold. read more

We started off with the Chicken Tender Sampler platter with a choice sauce (Hot Honey?) On the side. The portion was decent but there was absolutely no flavor to the chicken and the sauce was bland and we thought it might have been diluted with water. Not impressed at all. I went with the Sweet Heat Chicken and Shrimp. The mango flavored chicken and shrimp wasn't bad but the chicken breast was over cooked. Came with a side salad and rice. The rice was fine but nothing special. The salad on the other hand was too sweet and the carrots obviously came from a bag (perfectly uniform... I am a line cook in Nashville... I know food). Over all the dish was descent but packing presentation and too sweet on my opinion. Also, what's with the diner plates)? Really? New Orleans Pasta was what my other half decided to order and this is what I wish I would have ordered. Very basic sauce that could be improved upon with some basic flavors but overall not bad for the price. My mother ordered a Caesar salad and had it returned because of bad lettuce. Granted, the manager did offer to cur some fresh romaine but she declined the offer and went with a baked potato. It's a baked potato... nothing special. For the extremely cheap price of $45.00 (drinks included in that price) it wasn't bad but we will not return. The food wad just too bland for us. The worse part though was the waitress. She was very depressing to interact with and just seemed either very upset or one some medications. The attitude was the worst part of the meal. Simply depressing dealing with her. read more

Quality of food is not what it used to be. Over salted and the chicken taste like precooked breast. Service and atmosphere very good.

The watermelon vodkarita is delicious. I had the sweet heat chicken & shrimp for dinner and it was very good. I had asked the waitress the difference in the seasoned rice and the ginger rice and she brought samples of both so I could try them before ordering. My husband had the fried catfish and it was delicious. The fries and burgers were awesome too. Huge menu selection and great prices. Love this place!! I wish we had one in Atlanta! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Watermelon vodkarita - American Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Not sure this place could get worse. The steak was tough and undercooked, shrimp was cold. Worst of all however is the fact the manager was too upset about having to wait tables that she could not be professional enough to wait tables without outwardly showing her displeasure to all guest. Do better Chedders! read more

Decent food. Lots of menu items. Grilled salmon and spinach dip were good but other items like the chicken tenders were terrible. Tough and tasted fishy (literally). Staff are nice though. read more

If you read my reviews. I rarely give bad reviews. Cheddars is def a bad review. Came here with 4 people for dinner. As soon as we walked in we were seated. After we were seated is when the issue started. We sat at the table for 15 minutes. Not one waiter or waitress came to get our drinks or even say we will be right with you. There was so much staff walking by and a few just standing and talking. Yet not one of them came over. At one point the manager walked past our table. Didn't even say anything. Finally we got up. As soon as we stood a waitress said have a good day. As if we had already ate!!!!! WTF people!! On the way out me and one of the gentlemen I was with told the manager what had happened. The manager said he dident know we were sitting there. The manager dident even say he was sorry or suggest seating us again. The worse was they weren't even fully busy. There was still tables 80% filled. I def will not be back here. It was my first time here and to leave a impression like that. I hope something changes here for the owners sake. Lost over $100 easy with our group not eating here read more

They really care. When we were seated no one came to take our drink order. We finally got the attention of the hostess and she immediately had someone at our table. Alex was very apologetic and made sure we were taken care of. He continued to apologize and took our order. The manager picked up our appetizer after delivering it himself. We did not expect any special treatment but it was nice to know they are all about customer service. read more

Had breakfast and when we got our food it was so much I couldn't eat it all. Plus it was really good. I was very pleased. Will eat here again and would recommend to anyone looking for good food and friendly, great service. A++++++++ read more

Cheddar's is doing everything right! Our recent experiences have been great. We got exactly what we ordered and it was piping hot. I didn't 2ant the seasoning that came on the grilled chicken. To my surprise, the manager brought out our order and suggested a sauce to try, which he'd already packed into our order. We always do curbside and masks are always worn correctly. We high,y recommend Cheddar's of Bowling Green Ky. read more

Avoid this cheddars. My wife and I both succumb to food poisoning within 24 hours of our patronage to Cheddar's. Big portions and reasonable prices are great, but sub par service and the ever present risk of food borne illness will keep us from visiting this cheddars ever again. read more

It took forever for everything, and the restaurant wasn't even busy. We were seated as soon as we came in. We had a server who took our drink order and never came back. We waited too long for our food not to be hot ! She never pre bused the table. I had to ask her to take some cups off the table. read more

This was the first time I'd eaten here, and it was really good. The price cannot be beat for the quality of food and portion size. I had the shepherd's pie, which was good but not a true shepherd's pie. The cheese fries for an appetizer are also a really good choice. The service we had that night was good, and the place was packed. read more

We eat here when money's a little tight. The food is acceptable for the money. Not a place to get a good tasting drink. The waiter even told us they don't worry about the drinks because they don't want people to drink there as they are a family establishment. Ok? Anyway, we will go back on a night we can't decide on something else or looking to eat for under $25. close to the house. read more

We have been to Cheddar's multiple of times and the first few times around, we loved coming here and always enjoyed the food. Now, we hardly come because we never get a correct order anymore. EVERYTIME, they are leaving out gravy or sauces. (They say it's because the cooks don't read all the details on the tickets?) And this most recent time, my husband and I received ONE refill AFTER we were done eating. We even had to ask for my husband's refill because she had only brought mine out and wasn't going to give him one. This place is a disappointment now and has went downhill. read more

We arrived we had a small wait if 10 minuets of which we anticipated. They were very busy that Saturday evening. After being seated we were quickly waited in for our drinks and appetizers. The waitress was so nice and friendly, especially with our child. Our appetizer and entrees came out in a timely manner and was cooked properly. We had the chicken tenders, steak, and bbq chicken. Everything was delicious and hot. The strawberry lemonade was good. It was overall a great experience with good food and excellent staff. read more

Terrible service. Managers are NOT on the floor and don't know what is going on. Came to the restaurant after being at a funeral home all day. We placed an order, after an hour were told there had been a 450 dollar to go order, but we saw many many servers carrying trays from away from the kitchen. Server offered to bring croissants but never showed. I complained to the manager. The manager had no idea why we had such a wait, but should have been aware of a huge backup in service. She said this was the first she had heard about it, isn't it her job to know the kitchen is incredibly back up? She couldn't guarantee prompt service so we left without any food. If a restaurant can't provide service in a timely manner, customers should be advised. People usually come to a restaurant to eat, not to watch a parade of servers carry tray and provide service to other people. read more

Food was good. Service was not. Our server came and took our drink order and stood there waiting for us to order our food. She left and came back less than 2 minutes later, got her pen and paper ready so we had to order because we felt too rushed. Someone else had to get us a refills while we saw our server outside playing on her phone. Her name started with an A but I can't remember it. read more

I looveeee Cheddar's so I stopped here on Saturday night a little after 7 thinking they'd be on the end of dinner hour and not very busy. I was wrong! They estimated our wait time at 25-35 minutes but we were seated much faster. Our server was a little slow getting to us but he was very nice. We ordered right away and it took another at least 20-30 minutes to get our food. (Which was nothing major, burger, grilled chicken, and salad.) We thought no big deal, they're busy. My loaded potato (which is an upcharge) came and was only butter and sour cream and a few pieces of shredded cheese. I don't think I'll pay for one again! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - My loaded baked potato was butter, sour cream, and... a small amount of cheese. - American Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

I got ribs, potato, and coleslaw. Ribs were tough, cold, and dry to say the least. I had to use a steak knife to cut them apart. Potato was also cold. Now I did get them curbside pickup, but I was there early and had to wait 10 min past my pickup time. It only took me 5 minutes to get home, so if the food had been freshly prepared, it would have still been very warm. I won't be returning. read more

First off, I know that they stay busy with orders to go now, as I have personally gotten to go orders from them over the past few months on several occasions. Tonight's to go order was a very different experience. The other times were top notch. Our order was supposed to be ready by 5:36 pm. We arrived at 5:24 and called to let them know we were there and which bay we were in. All good, we did what we were supposed to do. Fast forward to 5:40 ish, guy comes up to car and asked for the name on the order. I'm kinda annoyed now, but tell him my name. At 6:05, I go inside to inquire about my order that should have been ready by now. Nope, still had to wait another 10 minutes. The manager, whose name I didn't get, did not bother to apologize for the wait. The food was decent, but not the best we have had from them either. I will give them another shot in the future, but that may be a long while down the road. read more

Went in on a Sunday for dinner. Our waiter was amazing his name was Robert (Rob). Food was amazing, came out on time and hot. Robert had requested a drink that was not on the menu (Tokyo Tea) I was stump didn't know what I wanted, u really have to try this. He came back in a timely matter to see if we needed anything. We had a great experience. We been here before and it was always good service but this time around our waiter ( Rob) was amazing to where it needed to have a review....... read more

I have always loved Cheddars--great food at a great price. I just came back in to BG for Easter and just had to share how great everyone on the staff we dealt with were fantastic! We had just come in tonight for a drink and dessert and the staff were very welcoming and engaging. We were seated quickly, the waiter (and whoever else helped him) were attentive, the hot fudge cake was delicious (not as good as the monster cookie which they were out of--but still good), and the drink was really tasty as well. Overall, a great experience! read more

Food is decent date night quality for a fair price 10-20$ a plate but as an aquarium lover I really enjoy their near professional quality aquarium with manny cichlids and bala sharks id love to help with its maintenance and see what kind of filteration they have must be a nice sump hidden under it it's a shame they designed it to be hidden but I understand to the untrained eye they are not pretty but oh well can't have it all. read more

I only added 1 star because there's not a negative star option. The only positive thing I can say is that I've never received food poisoning visiting Cheddars in BG, and that's it. 1st time, food sucked. I wouldn't feed that shit to a stray dog. 2nd visit, the waitress was brain dead and the food left much to the imagination. If you're into corporate food and don't have mature taste buds, go for it. read more

Its a cheddars as far as food quality goes but our waitress (wish I could remember her name) made the visit more pleasant.

Server was slow and even sat down to clear a table next to us. Steak wasn't how I ordered on both my husbands and mine. Asked for no onions got them anyway. Side dishes were cold. Will NOT be going back. Wasn't worth the amount of money we spent. read more

We had to wait after being seated and hr and a half as we watched others come after us and leave before us. Food last two times is just mediocre and portions are smaller than when they first opened. My husband went with work the next week and had to wait that long too. Cheddars was great when it first opened but has gone down hill. read more

This restaurant has steadily gotten worse the past few years. The food is either cold, improperly cooked, or just not good. I won't be going back. The past 3 times I have been there, my food tasted like it had been cooked 5 days prior and then nuked for a minute and thrown on a plate. read more
