I ordered the ribeye and my husband order the ribs. The ribs were BIG! My husband actually had to take some home and he never gets a doggie bag! Both dinners were excellent including the sides. The honey croissants were out of this world. Shelby was a great waitress. read more

Came in this morning and had the worst service I've had in my life. The food was exactly what I had asked for and the staff all had smiling faces except for my server Ashley, so I wasn't sure about leaving a review. I heard her talk down on her coworker a few times when that coworker was significantly more friendly than our server herself, just didn't really represent a welcoming environment whatsoever. I'm a fan of this place but I will ask for another server if Ashley is ever mine again. I've worked in restaurants my whole life so I understand how important it is to have a positive attitude when taking care of customers. I hope today was just an off day for her, I can't imagine her being this way regularly and still having a job. read more

Food menu is extensive, never had a bad meal. Cocktails are fabulous. Servers are attentive, and they have a nice ambiance. May have to wait for a table. read more

First time there and had to try the Monte Cristo because of all the hype. Delicousness! Golden brown with just the right amount of sweet. Hubby tried the New Orleans pasta and was not disappointed. Nice sized servings. The wait staff was phenomenal and the croissants were flaky and yummy. Will definitely try again read more

Great service!! Our waitress did an amazing job with our group of 6. Great attention to detail and kept our drinks full. Food was really good and plentiful. A really good amount for the money. Would highly recommend!! read more

Good food and wine, very busy! Swerved was very sweet when he carded and the manager calls people boss (which is kinda cute... don't tell him though...) read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Chicken and shrimp special - Comfort Food Near Me - Centerville, Ohio

BLUF: Generally a safe choice, though it can take a while. Cost is reasonable. When it's busy, use the open seating in the bar as it's almost always been less than 5 minutes this way. I've eater here many times over the last year or so and the service has always generally been very good as has the food quality. I say generally, because this last experience was the poorest I've had in some time now. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived and ordered and the food still took nearly 40 minutes to come out. Normally, I wouldn't care that much, but we were told our food was on the way out at about the 10 minute mark. When the food did come out, the pork chop was about half the size expected (ordered this here before) and the extra gravy for the country fried chicken was missing. In fairness the waiter offered to have a new pork chop made, but after a 40 minute wait we weren't about to wait even longer. The gravy should have been a quick fix, but still took about 15 minutes and I had already finished eating by the time it came out. read more

Atmosphere and decor were nice. Very similar food to it's sister company Longhorn Steakhouse. Most lunch entrees did not include a side salad unless you add $3+. The Cajun Pasta looked prettier than it tasted. The chicken was extremely salty and dry. The penne noodles were ok. The onion rings were lightly battered and tasted good. The vegetable plate for vegetarians was decent. The service was ok. Kids chicken tenders were good. The two bathroom paper towel dispensers didn't work. The fish tank was a nice added touch. read more

I went to Texas A&M so I was excited to see a Cheddar's in Ohio. The food is really good but the service was slow. Seemed about a ten minute wait just to get drinks although the crowd was moderate. They gave me fries instead of rice but I ate em anyway because Fat Thor Life. I'd eat here again I just hope they speed things up a bit. Maybe they were short staffed today. read more

The service was great. The food was good. It had some moments like the salmon was great, but the loaded potato felt over cooked and lacking the "umph" was missing. My daughter loved her New Orleans pasta. She is a very picky eater so i would guess it must have been quite good if she ate it at the speed she did. Little chilly in here but again the service was amazing. Awaiting our desert right now read more

Their food is always good. Their fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, broccoli, and baby carrots is always really good and normally my go to but today I got their salmon and it was really good. The sweet baby carrot side dish is amazing, and they even have orange Fanta. read more

The Good: The cajun pasta was good. The Bad: Treats their crescent rolls like a crack dealer...first one is on them, then they are a buck a piece. The Ugly: Slow/Poor service for what you would expect. 20 minutes before we even saw a server. The wife had to return her steak and ribs...steak was too rubbery...little to no meat on the ribs. Will not return. read more

I wanted to eat here for a while, but it is a bit out of my way. I stopped by with my son when traveling through the area. The interior is nice and the service was great. I was impressed with just how many customers the building can hold! The food, however, was lacking considerably. My grilled chicken salad was the most uninspired thing I've ever seen. It was just a clump of bland grilled chicken thrown in the center of a basic, boring lettuce bed with a few cosmetic vegetable fragments thrown in. My son had the kids burger, which was overcooked and hard. We were so tired and hungry by this point, we didn't bother to send it back. I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it was a big disappointment. I don't know if this was a one-time issue, but I have a feeling their food is probably not good in general. read more

My husband & I went here for the first time for Sunday lunch. It was crowded but we were seated within 2 minutes. Our server came to our table immediately & took our drink order. The lunch specials were good on the weekend so my hubby ordered the 3 piece fish & fries with coleslaw (dinner portion had 5 pieces of fish). I had the redfish which was served on a bed of rice & came with 2 sides (I chose house salad & broccoli). My salad arrived quickly with a croissant on top which melted in my mouth. The salad was nice & fresh and was bigger than I expected. The blue cheese dressing was divine with big chunks of blue cheese. Another server showed up with our food but when she put the plates down, it was not ours - oops! She took them back immediately but left a plate of 4 croissants. We didn't mind because those croissants were to die for! We were charged $3 for the croissants (though we didn't order them) but our server promptly removed the charge. She gave us excellent service. Our correct order arrived a few minutes later. My redfish was delicious & there was an ample amount of broccoli on my plate which made me happy - love my green vegetables. My husband's fish was good as well. We laughed when we saw his side of coleslaw - it was a heaping bowlful! To top it off, 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies were given to us since it was our first visit - yum! My husband described it as good old American cooking & I agree. We'll be back...with an appetite! read more

Came in to try and sample. First time visit. Initial table srrvice was a little slow. Seemed busy for a lunch crowd, but; tables not really laced with noon time biz-like folk. More of a seniors crowd, "out for lunch" crew. So, the current lowdown is Cheddars is /was derived and inspired from an ownership in Texas, sticking to a "made from scratch" type of menu offering. Nothing real super fancy...more like what you would fix-up at home. Menu had dishes for fish, beef, chicken and pasta. Nice bar, featuring thier own mixes to yummy looking cocktails. Now the real skinny...the food! Very good. I had the Philly Steak and my wife, the Monte Cristo... what she was very excited to see on the menu since she hadnt had it for a number of years and I brought back fond memories of something...she was delighted! The portions were great and the taste was awesome! I will recommend this place ..sure would. I will like to come back and maybe try dinner one time ...or two ...or maybe three. Since it was our lunch I did not sample any of the dessert menu but it sure looked good on the pictures of the menu notebook. Yum. read more

Great food and excellent wait staff, but be sure to avoid the heavy hours. We waited almost an hour for a table during the 5-7PM rush. Seems some of the staff is still learning the ropes, so go easy on them, alright? read more

I have had a few things in my few visits, but the one I keep talking about it the Monte Cristo. Some places have it, few do it well. Even less do it properly. This is the best Monte Cristo I have had outside of a casino cafe in Vegas. It's battered whole and dipped, as it should be. Powdered sugar, and raspberry compote as it's supposed to be. It's 100% so right and so good. It's the reason I go here, and why you should too. read more

I would go back again. The cheese curds were good. The bread was good. The steak butter was great. Friendly staff.

Not the best. I had the 6oz sirloin, it was undercooked and chewy. The side were really good but it's not that worth it if the sides are the only good part. read more

We were able to find a seat in the lounge without waiting. We ordered the soup/half sandwich combo and a wrap. Both took a really long time to come out. It took a while for them to inform us that the chili was out of season (umm, it's 35 degrees out). Overall, mediocre at best. Might try it again at dinner if we can get in without an hour long wait.... read more

Came here with excitement to have something on the menu they don't have anymore Ordered the black and shrimp and salmon Not very good The salmon was Not Blacken The shrimp sauce with ketchup The other three people said their food was average This was my second time here The first time the service was absolutely horrible This time the waiter didn't really care so much about us It's my last time here read more

First time trying tonight, food was great and our server was very sweet, ribs were perfect and the baby carrots were good/sweet.

Hello my foodies!!!! Today my lunch adventure is taking place at Cheddar's scratch kitchen! I sat at the bar and was greeted immediately by Cheryl the bartender. I told her I was just eating today, so she kindly took my order. The lemon pepper white fish with rice pilaf and salad with balsamic vinaigrette was wonderful. A perfect dish for not feeling stuffed afterward. Cheryl is a great bartender! She offered me a taste of their new pineapple cider on tap. Talk about a tastebud wake me up! Like a delicious sorbet to cleanse an after meal palate! I will definitely order this next visit! So in conclusion, the food was great, the service was great, the men's room was impeccably clean. 5 star experience for this guy!!!! Dr Jeff read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - A picture of a beautiful lunch experience! - Comfort Food Near Me - Centerville, Ohio

Crap food served with haughty arrogance. This place is mediocre. The jerks that work the host station have zero manners. The bartender is super stingy. There's really nothing to like about this pretentious overrated chain restaurant. We tried it twice over a year plus and it sucked both times. Our service was below average. The food is corporate commissary type stuff. The ribs were dried out and luke warm. What a joke. read more

The food was good however the service -meh We waited 20 minutes for our cocktails and a little longer for ordering our food we were there almost an hour before we were served. read more

Not a bad place to go, but if you have to wait more than 10 minutes to get a table, you're pretty much better off going somewhere else... that being said, the waiter was super nice, and he brought our drinks and croissants out relatively quickly. He also was good to get our appetizers out, but dinner took a little longer- we weren't upset since we were in good company! Dinner was okay, but a huge portion! I got country fried steak and it felt more like batter than anything else. I'll be back, but I rarely go and that's enough to satisfy me! read more

I said I would try it again and I did. And I was totally underwhelmed on several fronts. Not as crowded as several months ago when it opened, but noise level is still off the charts. They scraped chairs all over the floor while sweeping right around us (really?) Bob ordered a Jack Daniels on the rocks - which they acted like they had never heard before? It was the smallest drink in the history of the world. I ordered a spiked Cherry Limeade and I think they forgot to spike it but not to charge for it. And halfway thru my drink I noticed a large chunk out of the rim. I pointed out to our server who said "I'll take that glass out of service when I take it off the table" instead of "I'll bring you a new one" or "I'll take that off your check." Total fail. Food was OK, not great...not awful. Typical chain food. We won't be back. read more

Our go to place for ribs and chicken pot pie. Service is top notch. Restaurant has pleasant atmosphere.

Waited 45 mins and two tables came in way behind us and ate their meal and paid their bill by the time I asked where our food might be. It was entered 30 mins after we ordered. Manager did not apologize just made excuses that they are human. Great just admit you messed up. Don't turn around on us that it was entered 30 mins late. The manager did comp the meal and made it right but I would have rather paid for my meal and got the food served while we sat there. Don't blame the customer and make them feel bad when someone else messed up, just own it and say I'm sorry and let's all move on. Will not be back. Food was nothing special. read more

I love Cheddar's chicken tenders and fries ! They're yummy yummy yummy ! They're so good I haven't tried anything else but my family was with me and they were happy too ! Nice server, good atmosphere and great food. Thanks read more

It would appear that Cheddars has had a bit of a facelift since the last time I went to one in Mt. Juliet, TN! The newly opened Cheddars in Centerville, OH seems to be a hub of Dining activity! When we arrived the place was packed inside and out. Through a fluke (or serious table luck) it seems that our intended 30-40 minute wait for our party of 5 was reduced to a short 10 minutes! (A party of 10 that arrived around the same time as us wasn't seated until we were about finished with our meal). If you are coming here, make sure you don't mind the wait, because as of this writing the place is BUSY. Our server was obviously a bit bedraggled because of the number of people, but she kept her wits about her and everything was delivered promptly and correct. I've had it before, but the Jalapeño Cheese Burger was as good as I remember. Nice and spicy. For anyone looking for a good chain restaurant to eat at, I'd say that Cheddar's is a great choice, but if you want someplace you can walk right into, right now you should probably avoid it. At least until the initial interest dies down to something a tad more manageable for the location. read more

Ordered take out - paid extra for an extra side. Got the food home- extra side was omitted. Called the restaurant and - after getting disconnected the first time- spoke to a lady - Alicia I think was her name- who - when I asked - identified herself as a manager. I explained what happened- and that this wasn't the first time it has occurred. She said she was at the host stand - and would need time to look into it. She took my name, and email and said to allow 48 hours. She never said what she would do- she did apologize but rushed me off of the phone. This was Friday 1/14. Today is Monday 1/17. No one has contacted us. Really unprofessional. read more

I can not say a negative thing about this place. First time and was taken back by the beautiful stone and decor. We did not have to wake even though the parking lot had a ton of cars. When you walk inside you realize the place is huge! We were immediately greeted and taken to our seat. Our hostess was always there and very good. The prices are shockingly low. The food was shockingly so good! They put the details into every dish...especially the house salads have a warm delicious crescent roll. The alcoholic drinks were huge and cheap! Great place to have a social outing with a lot of people. Very impressed and will be back!!! read more

We like the food and the variety. Ribs and salmon are our favorites. Service is very good as long as we don't have a bearded male. Sorry, I don't think beards have a place in a food establishment. Good atmosphere; fairly quiet. Good margarita and I'm fussy about my drinks. Biggest negative is the wait. We've been there at 4 on a Wednesday and waited 1/2 hour. Weekends? Forget it. read more

The food was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! You can't go wrong for the price (because it's the best food I have had after moving to Ohio so far!) and our server was an absolute doll I can't wait to come back I highly recommend the spinach dip as an appetizer a honey hot with the chicken crispers broccoli and french fries for your entrée my husband really enjoyed his chicken pot pie as well. All I can say is you will not be disappointed in the slightest I'm over the moon about this place read more

Wonderful experience all around! We stopped in for lunch this past weekend and had a small wait for a table. We were asked to wait in our vehicle as there is no standing allowed. We had a great male server who was on top of everything! We ordered a caesar salad, chicken finger meal with french fries, corn and green beans. Everything was great! The food came out hot, fresh, flavorful and perfect! We would return based on this wonderful experience and the great food they serve. I appreciated the tables being socially distanced during covid. read more

Not that great. Worst steak I've ever had. Sandwiches are ok. Buns are great! Ambiance is good

Eat here all the time, it's one of our favorite restaurants. But this COVID-19 bull crap has got to stop! The governors "curfew" says 10 PM for consumers to be out of businesses. We are set at 9 o'clock and immediately told we have to physically be out of the building by 930!! You've got to be kidding me! White let us in and Cetus, then immediately say you have to physically be out of here in less than 30 minutes? Idiotic! read more

Been here twice and each time I've had great service and great food with reasonable prices. First time I had the ribs and I have no complaints. This last time I had the chicken and shrimp over rice. Highly recommend this place! If I had to complain about anything, I would say the noise levels are very high if they have a packed house (which they normally do). I would suggest getting here early due to heavy volume. read more

Cheddar's is an awesome place to eat. Sometime you have to wait about 20 minutes to be seated but is definitely worth the wait. Prices are good. Portions are big. read more
