Hey friends! We have a Cheddars back home but it's farrrrrrrrr. So I was excited that this location was walking distance from my hotel. Cheddars to me is an elevated Ruby Tuesday lol. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries kids meal. It also comes with a croissant. They were just as I remembered! Golden brown and extra crispy! Three tenders, fries, croissants and a drink for $11! Can't beat that. +Customer Service was amazing +Restaurant was clean and well stocked +Plenty of free parking +Affordable price points I hope you enjoy! read more

Don't bother reading this! Just get up off your butt and go! We had the best service with our waitress Emily. She knew all the items on the menu and gave us great recommendations. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection. I had the chicken and shrimp and so yummy. I wish they were in California. Trust me next time I find cheddars I'm going. The interior was very nice and soothing. Quiet,, un assuming and a pleasant experience. Thank you, Emily.!! assuming with great food. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Grilled fish, blackened, over rice with southern green beans and candied carrots. Perfect! - American Near Me - Bristol, Virginia

Stopped here for dinner as we made our way back to Houston. I found out since they have an outdoor seating, you can have your dog with. Good to know for next time. The restaurant has some great decor and it looked clean as far as the eye can see. Their croissants were a little over baked so it was a bit of a bummer since I know how good these are when baked perfectly. Our meals were good besides the fries and the broccoli and cheese casserole being cold. Overall our waitress was very kind, friendly and patient. It took us a little bit to decide what each of us wanted for dinner lol read more

We had a very informative and friendly waitress named Tiffany. The drinks were great, croissants to die for and dinner was very good My friend Carol was visiting from Calif had the pecan chicken salad and loved it. I had the small salmon with a bourbon sauce recommended by Tiffany and she recommended the Long Island ice tea. It was all amazing thanks. The restaurant was festidiously clean. We saw them take a table apart with 4 people to clean the floor and seats. Very impressive we will be back. Wish I would have got desert to go. Sunni Johnson read more

The food was delicious, fresh, hot! I ordered a dinner salad as one of my sides (for an upcharge of $.99), and asked to have it served prior to my entree. Our entrees were served with no salad. I reminded the waiter I had a salad, and he said he would bring it right out, that there had been "an issue with getting lettuce chopped". Approximately 12-15 minutes later, just as we were finishing our meal, the waitress brought the salad with the extra dressing I had requested. Since we had finished eating, I asked if she could just put the salad in a "to go" box. Ten minutes later, she returned and apologized for the wait, stating she had to wait for lettuce to be chopped! My salad was already prepared when she brought it to the table, so no lettuce needed to be chopped! I opened the very small "to go" container, and found maybe one-third of my original salad and only one dressing! Obviously, my original salad was served to someone else, and a new, very small salad packaged to go! It certainly wasn't worth the extra $.99 for the side! I should have asked for a box and packaged the salad myself! Lesson learned for sure! Cheddar's is one of our favorite restaurants, but this was not a pleasant experience! read more

Cheddar's is kind of like a bougie Cracker Barrel: southern-style cooking with a wide variety of really solid items. The last two times I've been there, I've ordered a double decker fried chicken platter with gravy, cheese and bacon mashed potatoes, and baby carrots or corn off the cob (GO FOR THE CARROTS. They're sweet and satisfying. Corn was uninteresting and didn't complement it well). Chicken is crispy, melts in your mouth, so delightful and HUGE. The gravy has a hint of sweetness to it that I quite enjoyed. I feel it works better on the chicken than the mashed potatoes. I would rate the dish a 9/10. I feel like certain side choices would be better, and I have yet to find the perfect combination. But how about that bread? The croissants here are superb. It's like having dessert before the meal without it being too overpoweringly sweet. The flavor is comparable to O'Charley's rolls (RIP our local O'Charley's) but the texture is very flakey and unique among restaurant bread in my experience. Cheddar's croissants get a 10/10. Nothing like it. The location is lovely. There's a big fan in the center of the establishment and multiple lovely seating areas. The place is pretty quiet, the music is alright, and the stonework is gorgeous. Really, the whole restaurant is a work of art. I do think some easy listening music would complement the atmosphere of the restaurant well, but perhaps that's not what most people would want. Right now it's soft rock. 9/10 ambiance. I'm not sure what it's going for but I like it. The service is usually very good. My only real gripe was that my most recent visit had a waitress that was complaining a bit more than I considered was professional. But she still did her job fine...it was really just a minor irritation. Everybody has bad days, I suppose. 9/10 service. Pricing is standard fare for a chain sit-down restaurant in my opinion. Please go to Cheddar's. It's a wonderful establishment and one of Bristol VA's best. It's more reliably high-quality than Chili's, tastier than Cracker Barrel, and much more relaxing than Logan's. My only recommendation would be to consider getting something that isn't a steak. Their steaks aren't bad, but it isn't their specialty, and you can get better steaks elsewhere. They do chicken very well, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to coming back to Cheddar's, and I hope it's sooner rather than later. read more

Cheddar's was such a pleasant surprise. The food was great. Teresa provided excellent service! The food is fairly priced and the croissants are so good. My family will definitely return. read more

Had an excellent experience with my husband while visiting from out of town. We've never been to a Cheddar's, so imagine our surprise when two enormous & flaky croissants found their way to our table! My husband remaked on the great prices and went with a whole rack of ribs. I'm attempting to balance out the croissant I just had, so I ordered grilled chicken and shrimp with steamed carrots. It's kind of weird to go to a restaurant and say, man, those were the best carrots I've ever had, but here we are. Our server, Mattie, did a great job. Would definitely return when visiting in the future. read more

Love the food here every time! The service is always great and the place is comfortable so you can talk with your party. Will be back!!

Had a " ladies" lunch here with 10 ladies. I called ahead to reserve a table. When we were seated, menus, napkins, silverware and straws were on the table. Our waitress was awesome and very attentive. (Sorry couldn't remember her name) Our food was delicious, and had a wonderful lunch with dear friends read more

I was pleasantly surprised! The baby back ribs were great, the portions generous, the sides were fresh, the service was really friendly and attentive and it was super affordable. Ok I'm from a big city where we have a gazillion bougie choices to select from, but for a smaller town and you just want some comfort food in a clean chain restaurant I was satisfied. Ample free parking in their parking lot. And they are right off the 81 near exit 7. read more

Burger was good, cheesy bacon fries were better, croissants were a nice touch, the fruit lemonade was also good, fish were cool.

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in Bristol is good. The decor and ambiance is appropriate for the restaurant style. Restaurant was clean and tables were cleared off soon after the customer left the table. Wait staff was slow on clearing empty plates at our table when we were done with something. Wait staff was slow in how quick they returned to check on our table. The waitress seemed like she was covering one too many tables. She knew what she was doing and working as quickly as she could, but was behind. Her service was good when she was at our table. Most of our food came out cool to cold. The vegetables were cold, not even room temperature. They were warmed and broiler back very warm. Over food was ok. I was expecting more fresh tasting items from a scratch kitchen. I'd consider trying this particular Cheddar's again and see of they do better. If they do improve, then it's a good place to get basic good food. read more

We had a family gathering large party about 12, when taking the order the server put everything on one check when it came time to separate the checks she was having too many problems trying to figure out how to do it and when she did it it was still wrong so she had to make a second trip to fix the first mistake, we had balloons the 2balloons got away, but we seated under the fans and every time the fans went around the the strings on the balloon would hit the fan and dust from the fans kept coming down on the table . The chicken tenders were absolutely too hard, you couldn't even eat them. This is the second time that I've had a bad experience at your establishment,it won't happen again. read more

I definitely recommend this Cheddars. The hubs and I plus our son and granddaughter really loved this Cheddars and as my granddaughter says "BEST PEACH TEA EVER". So the hubs and I split the smokehouse burger with cheddar cheese and fries. I just had a house salad comes with egg if you like it can be removed, the granddaughter got the classic burger with cheese and no rabbit food on it. our son got the chicken tenders with a baked potato. Our server for lunch was Misty and she was awesome. On top of our drinks and stopping by the table a lot to check on us. read more

We came with a large party from a softball tournament and the food was fantastic! Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Charred bread. Dried out shrimp and pasta from setting under a warming light, I assume. Cheese sauce for chips was nothing beyond melted and thinned out Velveeta. The onion rings that didn't even meet the standard for "warm" were stacked up so that plenty of air could flow and turn them from barely warm into officially "cold." Wait staff put in wrong entree for my son--who was celebrating his 25th birthday--so we were stuck there even longer, waiting for his food. The hostess and a friend stood at the hostess stand talking loudly enough for us to hear every word 2+ tables away. Unacceptable doesn't begin to cover it. Haven't been to a Cheddar's in 30 or so years. There won't be a next time. read more

Server was nice and attentive. Food order was served promptly and hot. We had the cheeseburger with fries and chicken fried chicken with a loaded baked potato. The croissants with honey butter are a must-have. Restrooms were clean. Only concern was the seating. Tables were clean but there was food on the seats of three booths before we found a clean one. read more

Our waitress Teresa G was excellent. She was so nice and we really appreciated her. She took great care of us. Only thing was that silverware was dirty and manager said he was sorry and would speak to his staff about that. read more

Sat outside by the fountain. Madison, our waitress was so helpful and personable. The half rack of ribs could have fed 3 people. They were delicious. The salad was good, and the baked potato was cooked perfectly. What a pleasant treat driving through on the way to Kentucky. I hope I get to come back read more

The food was delicious. The croissants had to be the best I have ever had. I had ordered the Number 8 Chicken fingers. They were very good. And the ranch was quite literally the most delicious and exquisite ranch in the world. Our waiter was very nice and the food came quick. There is very nice decorations, but the 45 ceiling fans made it a little cold. read more

It doesn't matter how many times I visit this location the fries are always cold and flat. It's like the fries are hours old. Nothing coming from the kitchen should be cold if it's meant to be hot. read more

Second time ordering curbside, meal was missing items both times. They promise a replacement meal but you never receive the gift card or anything. This time they were rude told us the manager was busy and to call back but they didn't hang up the phone so I was privy to their discussion about that as well. Know what customer service is and how to treat customers. read more

We don't have a Cheddars near where we live so we try to find one in our travels. They have a good variety of food at reasonable prices. I ordered the grilled chicken pecan salad with unsweetened tea. My wife ordered the fried shrimp with broccoli and slaw. I was impressed with our server Ravem. She was very attentive. Great place for couples and families with a dining area and separate bar area. read more

There's nothing scratch about this place. I ordered a burger and at least you could scratch make a burger patty with ground beef. Instead it looked and tasted like they went to the grocery store and got a box of the cheapest frozen patties and cooked that. Fries were soggy and way to salty. I've eaten at a Cheddars before and this was the worst. Crossing it off my list I'll never eat at one again. read more

Just left! Terribly dirty! Requested that every empty table around us be cleaned They were loaded with filthy dishes! Told the bartender and hostess and waitress. Restroom also bad. Ugh! One hostess remarked "not my job!" Stay far away! read more

Came here two nights in a row as I am staying at the hotel at the top of the hill. Both nights I was impressed with the service despite them being short handed. The food was just fine.. steak cooked perfectly medium rare... sides were good and didn't seem microwaved. I really can't complain, but I also don't complain either so give'm 5 stars! read more

Food is delicious I came and the waiter was so nice and food was delicious highly recommend

Came in on Sunday night with no wait. Food was good, reasonably priced and generously portioned. Unfortunately one of the baked potatoes came out cold. Also they forgot to bring out one of our orders until we asked about it. The server didn't ask if we're ordering dessert and just handed us the bill, made us feel rushed. read more

A terrific restaurant, good ambience, and good food. The server was attentive and pleasant.

Nice restaurant. I had the lemon pepper chicken breast and the potato soup. Both were very tasty

Nice restaurant and good food. We stopped while on a road trip since we like eating at places we don't have at home. We would go again.

Food was great, portion size was good. Server was attentative and friendly, didnt hardly have to wait.. Will sutely be cback read more

Food is always so so. The wait staff is 70% bad. They are more concerned with talking and being on their phone. It's like if chili's had a more simple brother kinda vibe. read more

Our service was great, portions were large and prices were reasonable. I hate that the croissants aren't included with the meal anymore, but it's been a while since my last trip to Cheddar's, so it may have been this way for a while. The location was good and the building itself is very well kept and clean. Lots on the menu, including a yummy seasonal watermelon margarita. Hubby got the bbq chicken (more than twice hay he could eat) and I got the honey mustard chicken (again, about a double portion). We'll definitely stop again the next time we're in town. read more
