Chicken pot pie is excellent. Service was great. Will eat there again! Went with a group and there and had a table where we could talk. read more

Came in for a quick lunch. Ordered a Philly Cheesesteak, no green peppers. Came out with peppers and without onions. Sent it back and 15 minutes later it came out without peppers, onions and with about half as much steak as the first. I was wearing a corporate branded shirt that should have been a clue that I was on my lunch hour. Left after 45 minutes with no lunch. Will not be back. read more

Returned tonight with a group. It had been years so I figured I'd update my review. The food was worse than I remember. Do not order the meatloaf. Two slices thinner than a hamburger patty that are reheated and dry. Just not good. Red beans and rice were also terrible. Wife had the chicken fried chicken and it was okay. Needed more seasoning. The one positive note was the service. The gentleman waiting on us was very good. Not very crowded. Our party of seven at 5:15pm had no problem just walking in. Not crowded. read more

Terrible on so many levels I am not even sure where to start! Yes this is going to be long! I had received a $100 gift card to Cheddars and there are none close to our house, so when my husband and I were up shopping in Franklin we figured we would stop in there and use some of the card. Walking in the door it was beyond cold, even the lady at the front had a huge coat on, she was very rude and said we would have a 10 minute wait even though there was very few people in there. We get seated in the bar area where the bartender is also our waitress, she takes our drink order and my husband had to put his coat back on because it is freezing, you can actually see A/C blowing (by the way this was in the winter a few weeks ago) and we told her it was cold, and she didn't care, so I head out to the car to get my bigger coat and now there is a different lady up front with a coat on and I tell her it is way too cold in here, and she has the nerve to make that noise like "whatever I don't care" and rolled her eyes?! So we place our order and we also ordered something to go to use some of the gift card up, while we are waiting at least 3 sets of people get seated by us and they ask to be moved to the main dining room because it's too cold. We tell the lady seating them how cold it is and she goes to get the manager - some guy walks up and we thought maybe it is the HVAC guy or maint guy, not a manager of a restaurant? He has the nerve to say he turned it down and what the heck do we want him to do about it? We said we need moved, so he moves us to a corner and at this point we should have just paid for the 2 drinks and left, but we were starving. So the bartender which at this point has not refilled our drinks and has been MIA through all this brings our food, it looks terrible! And now I am thinking maybe I should have not ordered something to go. My husband hated his fish, ate a couple bites and was grossed out, he said greasy, no flavor, batter falling off like it wasn't cooked correctly or long enough. I only ate 1/2 my hamburger it was double well done after I asked for medium, so we both filled up on fries as they were at least ok. At this point I went to the waitress and asked if it was too late to cancel the to-go order and she said yes, I should have just told her to keep it. Now I will back up, the waitress asked my husband if he wanted hot sauce when she originally brought the food, and he said yes, well the waitress brings the to-go order and puts it almost on top of us and then says "Oh I forgot the hot sauce" my husband says "it's a little too late now" We ask for the tab and she brings it, we are tippers based on service, we are over generous if we have been treated right, but in this case we left $1 - which was left after deducting all the issues we had from what we would have given. I bet you thought I was done? Nope the food we brought home was inedible and got thrown out, the rest of the gift card got mailed to my mom in CO, maybe their Cheddars will be better? Bottom line: We will never go here again nor will recommend it PS. I need to start remembering to take pictures! read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE & RUDE SERVERS/BARTENDER! Went by around 6:30 on Saturday and the dining room was busy so we sat at an EMPTY BAR. Bartender came over and proceeded to tell us he was four drinks behind and that the kitchen was backed up as well. He then disappeared never to return or take our orders. After almost 20 mins we got up and left. Tried to talk to the hostess but she all but ignored us so walked out the front door! read more

I love this place. The atmosphere is inviting and the staff treats you like family. We made a reservation went with a group of 6. We were seated within minutes of arriving. The comfort food is good, but it's really the genuine friendly service that distinguishes this restaurant from others. read more

We came in during a quiet time with only five tables occupied. After waiting 45 minutes with no sign of our food after ordering, we checked the Ziosk table tablet and found that our main course had not been entered into the system. We took a screenshot of the bill for proof. The server/bartender presented himself as very confident and experienced. Unfortunately, he seemed preoccupied with other tasks (perhaps end-of-day duties) and was not attentive to our table after we ordered our main course. It took him 30 mins later to let us know that the food was coming. Another 15 mins had gone by and still no food. Total time at Cheddars was about one hour. We were patient. On a positive note, the managers are usually very focused on creating a positive dining experience and tries to rectify the staff's shortcomings. In this case, it was too late to convince us to stay to wait another minute for our food. We were starving and had to go somewhere else. read more

I don't leave reviews, maybe because of the weather,but it was not good. Service was great, food not so good loved the bartender.

Such a wonderful experience!! The bartender, who was my server last night, was amazing! I couldn't say enough good things about him! Great food, fast service, amazing drinks, and a nice dim decor for dinner. read more

Everything was wonderful, service was great, store was clean and smelled good. Good come out fast , hot and delicious.

We were staying .5 mile away and picked up food 10 minutes before the stated time. Everything was cold. The food appeared to have been sitting for an extended time. Ribs were inedible due to being tough and cold. Ordered butter croissants but they were not in the bag. Asked for silverware but none was provided. read more

My waiter/ kitchen lost my order and we had to redo my order, my food took super long to come out. My food wasn't warm, and my garlic bread seemed stale/ burnt read more

One of the worst meals I've ever had. I picked up and brought home chicken divan with mushrooms. There were 5 pieces of thinly sliced mushroom. The sauce on the chicken, which permeated the rice was so sweet it was as if someone added tablespoons of sugar. I also had a side salad with thousand island dressing. Again, way too sweet. If I had eaten in the restaurant I would have sent everything back. What a waste. I couldn't eat any of it. read more

First time eating here tonight, and probably my last. There was nothing inherently wrong or bad about my experience, it just wasn't good food. Service was quite nice, our girl was very kind. It is clean inside. But I looked at the menu for nearly 15 minutes and couldn't find anything that sounded remotely appealing. Looking around at the plates on tables around me made me not want to order a steak as they looked grey/boiled, not properly seared and cooked. The menu called out that all burgers only come medium well, which is a travesty in my eyes, so those were out. I ended up with the Caesar salad and blackened salmon. The salmon had a little bit of spice on it, but not even close to being blackened. However it was definitely over cooked, hammered. Just a really mediocre place that I wouldn't ever think 'oh I can't wait to go back to Cheddar's!' The food was cheap enough so I didn't care too much. If you are meeting someone for happy hour or dessert only, maybe a good call since on the cheap side. read more

I stopped in early after a long day. There were only a few customers so I expected fast service. I was seated right away and no one came to my table. After 20 minutes I was collecting my things to leave when a server named Katie showed up and said" I am sorry, I was talking to my manager". I was ready to order the meatloaf but she told me I would be disappointed so I ordered the white fish with corn and baked potato. At the beginning of the shift she said they were out of corn. I chose the broccoli and cheese casserole. When my food came it was just ok. Thin filets heavy on the seasoning. The potato was great and the broccoli was pretty bland. My server did not come back to check on my meal until I was almost finished. She filled my drink again. I had to use one of those table top kiosks to pay. I really don't like that. The bathrooms were tidy but one soap dispenser was broke. This always gives me a red flag. read more

Just had a great dinner at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. Alex was our amazing server. He was very attentive, helpful and friendly. We will be back for sure!! read more

I had one of the worst experiences at Cheddar's. I waited over 20 minutes after being seated and not a single server came by to greet me, take a drink order, or even acknowledge that I was there. The place wasn't overly busy, so there was no excuse for being completely ignored. I ended up leaving without any service at all. Extremely disappointing and unprofessional--definitely not the type of experience you'd expect when dining out. read more

Have never been to a Cheddars before and was very impressed with selection and portion size. My wife had the chicken fried steak and chicken was very big. We will try again when we see one on our next trip. read more

This is a sleeper spot! Organization is tied to Longhorn Steakhouse, which is also well managed. In an industry that is increasingly famous for cutting corners, this organization keeps their kitchen standards high and their management is well trained to manage customer expectations. We had great service, the food quality was a pleasant surprise, value was hard to beat, and the ambiance was much nicer than expected. The fish tank is a really nice touch. Only improvements I can mention was a distinct natural gas/propane smell in the entry area, and a rather long wait when we entered before someone greeted us. read more

Cheddar's has always had a great environment with a friendly staff and good food. From the rolls to the entrees, I recommend this restaurant on the Franklin/Brentwood line. read more

Nice atmosphere, food is ok... they leave the squeeze ketchup on table that has corn syrup in it. Wish they would wipe them off after each customer(s) leaves the table. I may try it one more time and see what happens. Heinze ketchup doesn't have corn syrup or any unnatural ingredients in the ketchup they send to the UK and Europe. They won't eat alot of the food we eat because of the unhealthy ingredients. read more

The price was FABULOUS for the family meal. I think it would have all been amazing except I ordered late and got my food 20 min before closing. The salmon and tenders were not even warm and tough. The broccoli casserole was awesome. So we're the bacon cheese fries. The croissants had so much potential but I'm thinking they were just leftover as well . I will probably try again because it has great potential. I'm just not sure. read more

Absolutely amazing! I forgot yo take a pic it looked and smelled so good and it tastes even better read more

Third strike - Will never be back! I've tried 3 times over the last couple of years and have had the same experience - slow service and servers worried more about talking to each other than attending to customers. This location absolutely needs trained, willing-to-work staff. Arrived at 11:34am. Sat at bar. At 11:44 got my soft drink and placed order - soup & salad. No one else sitting at bar - few at tables. Was told croissants were in oven and would be delivered when they came out - NEVER saw one. At 1:12pm my food (soup and salad) arrived. Lady came in after me ordered and was served her T-bone before I got my food (I guess steaks/higher tabs get more attention). At 1:25 had foresight to request tab as many people were getting frustrated trying to pay and leave. Like them, I was on my lunch hour and had to wolf my food down. They need to HIRE SERVERS (I saw there was a sign on the door when I went in) OR CLOSE. Over 30 minutes to get a house salad and soup - Unbelievable!!! Will NEVER be back!!! read more

Was in Brentwood shopping and decided to grab lunch as it's the last restaurant before on-ramp. Please don't make the mistake I made. 24 hours later I'm doubled over with abdominal pain and diarrhea. I ordered the classic burger with cheese. As a chef I could tell it was a precooked/browned patty. The texture was hard outside and mushy inside. It's partially my fault, I didn't want the hassle of sending it back and finding another restaurant and getting a table as it was already 2 o'clock. I guess man read more

I had a very bad experience here when coming in with a diverse group of people. We got skipped in line and several groups were seated before us. Also, when we were finally seated, our plates were wet. Another time, my husband and I both ordered the salmon but his portion was half of mine and barely more than a salad serving. It's a shame because I originally liked this place due to the ambiance and reasonable prices. read more

It was pretty good pretty good indeed yummy cocktails mmhm delicious yes I had a painkiller mmhm.

Food was terrible both of us are at home hours later holding ourselves with diarrhea and severe heartburn.

The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything was perfect. We went at lunch and there were not many people there at all. We were checked on often. I was surprised at how quickly I had a new drink every time I finished mine, because I was extremely thirsty this day and drinking them fast. This was my first time at Cheddars and the food was fantastic! I also loved the interior of the place. It was beautiful and extremely clean. I will for sure be back! read more

The hostess on 26 December 2024 at 630pm has a pure attitude with eye rolling to match. As soon as I darkened the door she walked away into the bar. Her body language speaks volumes as well as the eye rolling. As a customer that comes here often this is the second time a host/ hostess has pure attitude and poor demeanor. The host last week called me "sweetie" and didn't listen to anything I said. Asked for a booth not in the bar and he said, "how about in the cocktail area". That's the bar! The service by the servers and food have been ok but the customer service at the hostess stand is subpar and quite off putting. I get one thing at this restaurant but can go elsewhere as there are many choices in Cool Springs & Brentwood. Why would a manager call a customer "love"? The salmon I was served at 704pm was bad and the potato was old. Requested a new piece and its 25m later. Have frequented Cheddars 5 times just in December and this is my last visit. Manager has yet to come to my table except to call me "love" and hasn't addressed the bad food. Yet the server said the salmon is otw its now 732pm and I have left. read more

Our server, Holli was absolutely wonderful and her accent made us feel as if we were someplace exotic. I had the vegetable plate and it was great for lunch and filling. Steak was tasty and the pasta salad was A-1. But the best of all was the buttered corn. It made my mother's birthday great. read more

Great good after a 10 hour drive . Had the appetizer platter, fried shrimp app. All hot and tasty.

Great food. Service is outstanding! Finally a place that has a great Monte Christo. Definitely going to go back.

You have to smile (even if just a little) at the cleverness of "Six-feet apart is equivalent to 18 croissants, but who's counting?" That's Cheddar's virtual lemonade in this pandemic of bad lemons and one of the best marketing lines I've ever seen. It's also a milestone I might have to shoot for. Eighteen flakey, buttery-sweet croissants is a Homer Simpson drool moment. Just start with two croissants followed by a little salty, sugary edge on a vegetable side dish and fabulous chicken fried chicken -- fabulous enough that it's a bit of salvation in this purgatory of virtually no chicken fried steak to be found for miles (O.K...so, there is (was?) a good chicken fried option some 500 yards due West, but this is MUCH better.) I've never ordered a steak here and probably never will. Steak is everywhere. Chicken pot pie and chicken fried chicken? No, they're not everywhere. Cheddar's ownership has grown far and away from its Arlington, TX roots and your mileage may vary, but as a transplant who enjoyed visiting the original, I can happily say there's still a plateful of Texas comfort in the 2020 menu. Awkward access to this Brentwood location and pre-pandemic crowds kept me from being a regular, but the crowd is down. Go for it. Maybe you'll come back when the crowd does, too! read more

The service was great. The food was great. The Ladies Room was awful. I know people don't go out to eat for the restrooms, but really a nasty restroom in a nice new restaurant is very disappointing. Toilets seats were all loose or totally detached and floor and sink area were filthy. I'll be back for the food, but I'll make sure a bathroom visit won't be necessary. read more
