Husband got the Meatloaf said it was very good but could have used MORE POTATOES

Absolutely love my Dish. I tried something new and got the fish and chips on the lunch menu ( I always get Chicken strips or A Burger) it was so good and fresh! Although it was fried the batter was light and flavorful! May have to go get more ! My husband really liked his meatloaf

Monte Cristo was really good!!! But not better than Bennigan's, IYKYK!!

Food was good takeout service was great. Happy that I found a place that makes a Monte Cristo. Nice place typical like a chain restaurant.

Broccoli Cheese Casserole, Seasoned Rice, grilled pork chop

There aren't any cheddars where I live, so I was really excited to try this place. It wasn't as good as I expected. I did really enjoy my pork chops, but the sides were just okay. My fiancé enjoyed his food, but similarly the sides were just okay. Kind of bland. Chain restaurants are often a hit or miss, so I am hoping if I try another cheddars I'll have a better experience food wise. Overall the inside was nice and the staff was kind.

Ribeye was good except wasn't cooked to order (too red),however tastey. Loaded baked patatoe wasn't hot but luke warm; service was average. However still a good value or I would have given 3 stars.

Worst service I've ever seen there. We went at 8 in a Saturday night short wait almost ten minutes for drinks. Ordered the chips an queso only to get a half a plate of chips and maybe a spoonful of salsa and a greasy cup of runny cheese and beef with no flavor. Waited another 20 minutes for more chips when our food arrived my chicken breasts were greasy one was overcooked and rubbery the other was RAW in the middle. The broccoli was so over steamed it's practically melted into baby food. WE WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN

Rail Haus - German Street Doner. Absolutely delicious! Toasted pita, tender meat, amazing sauce and crispy outside and creamy inside potatoes.

A super cute little gem of a place located in the heart of Dover. Super quaint and tucked away with…read moreplenty of on street parking, as well as a parking lot in the back. Tons of seating! Lots of intentional planning went into this design. There's an indoor bar, dining room, outside seating of all kind (under tent & not), as well as a bar that has garage doors that can open to the outside. There's corn hole and other things to do. This place is a vibe with a German touch! Plenty of beers on tap, as well as some clever cocktails! They even have beer cocktails that feature their drafts. Service was exceptional! We sat at the indoor bar as it was raining. Stephanie was terrific. Very attentive and friendly. Ordered two drinks...Drunk in Love (delicious), and Beerloma (delicious). Highly recommend both of these. They had lots of other seasonal options as well that sounded delightful. Nice to see a pub theme place also craft some great drinks for the non beer drinkers. We ordered the burger on a pretzel bun and the German Street Diner. Both absolutely delicious!!! Impressive that we have both food and drink on point! No notes. The fries are great too. Don't leave without the cinnamon and sugar pretzel bites with the Carmel and white icing dipping sauce! We got out to go. Don't leave without them. Awesome!!! Such a terrific find. Wish we lived closer. Well worth the stop! Not far off of Rt 1 on way to beach too! Don't skip this place! It's amazing.

Loved the concept and setting. The beverages came out fast and they were nice and cold. My wife had…read morea Strawberry Mimosa and I had a .5L Warsteiner German Pilsner. Both were tasty. The food was ok to sub sub par. My wife had the bratwurst sandwich and she enjoyed it very much. I had the schnitzel sandwich with a German Potato Salad side substituted for the fries. Well, I didn't care for the puddle of liquid that completely soaked the bottom of the sandwich bun - I had to pour it out onto the pan that it arrived on, and there were not enough napkins to keep my hands dry and clean. The pork schnitzel was over cooked, not pounded to make it tender, and the breading was dark brown, almost burnt. I was hungry so I ate it. To make matters worse, the potato salad was a fail fail fail. The fingerlings were good, but, like the sandwich, it was sitting in a pool of liquid. In this case it was oil. Tastless so it added nothing to the dish, and there was at least a 1/4" of it under the potatoes. To say it was unappetizing would be kind. I had to pour out the oil onto the pan. There is no excuse for a kitchen to make pair of mistakes like this. Sadly, no wait staff came by to check on us, which was probably a good thing. While the QR code thing is "cool" it cannot replace the customary service model where waitstaff takes the order, and either a runner or the waitstaff brings the meal, and checks in on the table at some point. I was taken aback that we had to include a tip before even seeing the food or the waitress. For a little background, my wife is a German citizen, but born here. I was a hospitality consultant for a few years. We both know what constitutes good food regardless of ethnicity. I have been to at least 5 beer gardens, and even more German and Swiss establishments. I have prepared many schnitzels, and many German potato salads. Aside from the oil slick the flavor was ok. It would have been better if they used a little of the bacon fat, together with some white vinegar and a little beef stock, as a dressing for the salad. This is really easy to make and hard to mess up, but somehow the kitchen didn't get it right. I didn't give it a one star rating because the beverages, the ambience, and my wife's sandwich was ok. I may come back at some point since we are often in Dover. But I will not be ordering the potato salad or the schintzel. To be fair, a second visit would have to be a game changer for me to not give a one star rating. Wishing you guys the best of luck. The place has potential but someone has to pay more attention to both the kitchen and the front of the house.
