The service was good today. I love the buttery croissants they give you with the meal it was nice and toasted but still light in texture. My tea was strong like I like it. I ordered the chicken tenders and sirloin with corn and mashed potatoes. My only complaints were my corn was a little skimpy and I think this meal should have 4 tenders instead of 3 but otherwise it was a quality meal. The steak had nice flavor and was easy to chew even though I get it well done. The chicken tenders were flaky and crispy. I especially like the honey mustard dip. The corn was nice and the potatoes while having skins which I'm not a fan, were still smooth and well seasoned. She got steak and shrimp. Her steak was also a nice cut without any gristle. The coconut shrimp were a good size butterflied and she liked the dip. She did say there was not quite enough dip. She also said the baked potato she got tasted a little old. Also she informed me the broccoli casserole was a little bland. The service was attentive. read more

Food was cold and service was very lacking. Not somewhere I will return to which is sad. Use to be a great place.

The Sexy Beast has long been a fan of this place for their lunch menu. It's inexpensive and includes a potato soup. So, I've allowed him to convince me to subject my palate to the underwhelming fare offered here a few times. We won't be doing that again. Here's why: We arrived between lunch and dinner (around 3pm) and were promptly seated by a surly hostess. We sat there staring at the bare table for a good fifteen minutes before our waiter (who may or may not have been Vanilla Ice) wandered over to get our drink order. Meanwhile, an elderly couple is seated at the table next to us. They are talking quietly together, discussing the menu. Another ten minutes later, Vanilla Ice returns with our carbonated beverages. He takes our order and scampers off. The couple next to us have arrived at a decision at this point and Sexy Beast and I both notice that they have no drinks, nor is anyone paying any attention to them. Some young man appears with our potato skins. They are cold. And tasteless. And I want to send them back. My glass becomes empty. Sexy Beast starts to fidget. I snag a fluttering young woman and ask for a refill and a status update. She assures me that she will "let him know". I assume she is referring to Vanilla Ice but I can't be sure. This is the bible belt and she may very well be heading to the alter to offer up a prayer for the speedy dispatching of my club sandwich. She took the cold potato skins with her to the alter. We wait. And wait. The elderly couple next to us begin getting more and more anxious, fussing and flustered with the complete absence of service. The fluttering girl attempts an evasive maneuver but I catch her. I start to explain that a club sandwich is supposed to be in my belly by now but I can't. Sexy Beast has lost all patience and has started ranting about the fact that the elderly couple next to us will be carried out on a funeral pyre if someone doesn't get them some sustenance soon. Fluttering Girl scampers off and a man who must be the manager of this ridiculously poorly managed menagerie appears to appease the angry Beast and the sweet old couple. Meanwhile, Vanilla Ice has returned from his tour in Bangladesh and appears at my side. I explained that he had exactly three minutes to produce a club sandwich before I'd be on my way out the door. Fluttering Girl ends up with the daunting task of serving the two most patient restaurant patrons I have ever seen. Gramps and Gramma looked like they might actually weep with joy at the prospect of gnawing on an unsalted saltine. And after all of that, finally, I get what they tried to pass off as a sandwich. It was not at all worth the effort. At no time, did anyone apologize for the wait or the cold skins or the fact that we had to witness the slow starvation of a pair of septuagenarians. No. We will not be back. read more

Hostess said at the most 20 minute wait. 40 minutes later I ask is our table ready. Hostess says, "5 more minutes tops, I'm sorry for your delay." 15 minutes later. Hostess says, "It shouldn't be too much longer, we just have to clean some tables..." I left and went to another restaurant. I don't know why I waited more than 30 minutes and why I can't give less than 1 star. I'll never go back to this place again. read more

Ordered carryout/curbside pickup tonight for dinner. My order was scheduled to be ready at 6:40. Waited 30 minutes after this time for my food and had to call the restaurant for an update. All my food was cold. read more

VERY slow service!!! Servers are incompetent. Management is nonexistent. I've eaten here with family and had to wait over an hour to eat cold food! Server never checked in with us to refill drinks or advise us of any delays so I must assume that waiting for over an hour to be served is normal. My wife ate here with friends and could not get salads or bread or service then asked for a manager who only gave a lousy 10% off and blamed it on the server instead of taking responsibility. Then he brought a basket of rolls after the meal was over. I will never eat here again. read more

This is a standby for me when grabbing a bite with family & friends. The menu gives plenty of options. Even the pickiest eaters I know can find something here. I have tried numerous items from the menu & haven't found anything that wasn't good. There is one odd item on the menu that combines pasta salad with regular salad...odd combo but tasted good! I'd just never seen pasta and lettuce mixed in together. I love the salads, buffalo chicken wrap, and the soups are always hot & delicious. The only complaint we have is the manager who is a woman who appears to be in her mid 50s. Her ability to deal with customer issues is ZERO! As long as you don't have to deal with her, you'll have a great experience. read more

Pitiful establishment. Went this evening at 4:30 in a party of 5. We submitted name at host stand and were told to wait on a table. 3 servers were folding napkins, 1 server was standing at the bar talking to bartender as we waited. The restaurant was practically empty! When asked what why were weren't being seated the hostess states a table of 8 was ahead of us. Okay, but the rest of the restaurant is available. We waited another minutes and finally left for a more prepared restaurant down the road. Won't be returning of you can't handle the 4:30 crowd - can't imagine what service is like after 5. Stay away!!! read more

I happen to love Cheddar's. I hadn't been in quite sometime and my family and I were looking for a cheapish dine in place last night and passed this place and stopped in. Their meals are very generous in size, fresh tasting and is very easy on your wallet. I have been to at least 3 different locations and they've all been consistent with each other. Our waitress last night seemed shy, but she was attentive and checked on us often. read more

Reading the other reviews, Cheddar's appears to be one of the most polarizing restaurants in the area. As it was with my lunch group. One guy really, really likes it and, after weeks of pleading, we acquiessed. Look, Cheddar's is fine. My experience wasn't horrible, but it wasn't memorable either. The food was OK. My club sandwich was a little oily, the fries were good and you got a sizable portion for a decent price. Service was decent. The environment was, well, it doesn't know what it wants to be with tropical fans, Mediterranean arches, lots of brickwork and enough foliage to dress up a tiger exhibit. TVs are in most of the rooms, so if you want to be distracted from talking to those you've chosen to dine with, there's your out. I'm not a fan. I will not be coming back anytime soon; not because it is bad, but because there are so many better spots. read more

Host was rude and cussed at me and then I said you don't have to cuss and then she waved me bye

Good ole vegan/vegetarian hating Cheddar's (I don't think the people of Cheddar's hate vegan/vegetarians, just their menu). So I have not been in a Cheddar's since I became vegetarian because everything is dripping with animal juices. When I was a carnivore I loved Cheddar's artery clogging Chicken breast covered, smothered and chunked with cheese. I went back one time after I became vegetarian and they told me all they had was a side salad...at that time, so I never went back. Thinking that the menu had changed in 5 years, I decided to see what vegetarian/vegan options that added. Well, I was so happy to see they added steamed broccoli. Yehah!!!! I didn't want to cause a stir with my company so I didn't complain, I ordered the steamed broccoli, side salad with no cheese and a plain baked potato. When my plain meal was delivered it looked as appetizing as broccoli, side salad and plain baked potato could look but I was hungry and ate it. Honestly I believe the broccoli was assaulted by sticks of butter. Again, I didn't complain, I just ate it. Service was good. Would I go back to Cheddar's with these wonderful vegetarian/vegan additions to the menu....NO!!!!! Come up with a dish that is not slathered in animal droppings and I'll be back. No offense, I just don't want butter, bacon fat, and other artery-clogging oils on my food. Please and thank you. By the way, I am giving them a 3 because I still remember how good the Chicken was. read more

It's okay sometimes and not other times. Only once did I try the fish and was sick for days, so I'd avoid it at all cost. Chicken is not bad and consistent quality. Steaks are also pretty good most of the time. May have to wait for a table here. read more

So disappointed!!! My son and I typically love the chicken fingers at Cheddars! However when we visited on Tuesday, November 10; we were so disappointed.. We arrived a little before 8, a young man was our server, we had very simple orders and ordered right away (salads, soup, chicken fingers); nothing that takes much time. I received my soup, which was part of the meal (I ordered the veggie plate, broccoli casserole, green beans, and soup), the rest of the meal and my families did not come out for another 30-40mins.. Our server basically disappeared... We had no drinks, and when the food did come it was cold.. My husband loves their salads, they come with a honey drizzled croissant, however he did not receive his croissant. The waiter said they were not ready yet and he would bring it out when ready.. He then disappeared again.. We waited again just to receive our bill, after we paid the waiter brought 3 croissants. This dinner for a side salad, soup, and chicken fingers, took an hour and a half! It was terrible!! Service was the worst ever and no manager was in site!!! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - We have been here about 20 minutes, just met our server and these tables have still not been cleared! - Comfort Food Near Me - Clarksville, Indiana

It's clean. Staff is friendly. It's got food. The food's hot. It's not great food, but it's food. It's shaped like food. It smells like food. It even tastes like food. And it's kid-friendly. If your restaurant goals in any way exceed even one of these things, I recommend you head for greener pastures, because all this place will do is make you frustrated and/or sad. read more

It was my second time coming here for dinner. I didn't care for the first time both service and food at the time. I went there on Friday night with my husband and a toddler. We waited about 20 mins, we were watching the huge fish tank so it wasn't so bad even with a terrible two. As soon as seated, a waitress came by until we leave she made sure if food is ok or if we need anything else. She was taking care of other table with kids and she was great with kids, too! I like their verious of food menu. I ordered 6oz steak and two sides with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Everything was great! read more

I've been coming to this establishment for a decade with friends. Service never is underrated but never beyond as what comes to be expected from a sit down eatery. The salmon is the party favorite with additions to the liquor menu any occasion is bound to be fun! read more

The food has been marginal the last two times we haves been in... that coupled with hit or miss service and a ride as #*{%| manager the last time we were in, if I could give 0 or negative stars I would read more

I can't remember our waitress' name but she was super nice & cute. It was hospital cold in the bar area. The chips & queso was surprisingly good. The cheese was yellow & I thought it was going to be nasty at first but it was good. I ordered Blackened White Fish w/mashed potatoes. The chef must have cooked my food 1st & put it under the heat lamp while he/she cooked the other orders at my table b/c my food was no where near hot when it came out. Put it like this, if I would have put butter on my mashed potatoes it would not have melted. I will give them another try only b/c our waitress was friendly. read more

Chicken was great!!!! Very nice staff and atmosphere!! Good barbecue and sweet. Overall a great place to stop.

Service was adequate. Food was great except for the seasoned rice. It was plain white rice...

Thoroughly enjoyed Cheddar's Kitchen. The blackened salmon and shrimp were cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed my steam broccoli which is hard to get at restaurants because it's usually hard with little flavor. I was so surprised by how tender and flavorful there's was. I'm not giving 5 stars because their French fries were very underwhelming. On the menu they show a seasoned type of fry, but the ones we had didn't even salt really. Such a bummer because I had high hopes for them. Also, the buttery croissants are amazing. Highly recommend them! read more

It's a chain. Looks like a chain. Feels like a chain. Doesn't really taste like one. I'm not sure what kind of magic happens here, but the chicken tenders are crazy weird. They taste like chicken. Real chicken. Delicious. Great salad dressings. Yummy honey buns. Worth checking out. The menu isn't quite like a Greek diner, but everyone will be able to find something they like. read more

Everything was decent. That's about all I can say. My son had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was ok. I had the chicken fried steak. It was a little too peppery and 1/4 of it was breading only, no meat. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good but the gravy wasn't plentiful enough. The green beans were sweet. What do they do; add sugar? Weird but not horrible. My mom's chicken pot pie, croissant and our cheese fries were the best parts of the meal. The margarita? We drank less than a 1/3 of it between the two of us. Definitely not good. This was probably my least favorite Cheddar's meal ever. read more

We were stopping for lunch after a quick trip. The decoré was slightly off-putting but it makes sense being in a busy area and being a chain. The queso and chips are not anything amazing but we were starving and it was already 2pm. The chips were stale and the cheese was flavorless. I ordered the Chicken Tender Platter and it was actually very good for a chain. My date's salmon came out smelling very strong and not in a good way. He asked for the salmon to be blackened but I'm not sure the cooks knew how to cook salmon. However our waitress was a nice lady and wrote a smiley face on the receipt. I have a feeling she knew that our meal was only goin to be 3 stars. If anything, go for the service. read more

Mmmm very tasty. I was very pleased with cheddars. The interior was awesome. I love the big fans in the middle room. The service was great. The peach tea was sooooo good. But when our waitress brought a refill the syrup in the bottom wasn't mixed and I got a mouthful of it. The cheese and queso with chips is a must for an appetizer. The portions are big. I got steak with chicken tenders. Their mashed potatoes are great . The fries were WAY over seasoned couldn't eat them. And the price is pretty low for the atmosphere and great food. read more

Probably one of my favorite restaurants ever. I love the atmosphere here and the food is so good, I've not had a bad meal here (aside from the gross broccoli casserole... thing I tried once). Every time I come I get the spinach artichoke dip. My favorite. Also love the variety of food they have here. I would give it 4 stars however it's up to par with the more expensive restaurants so it gets an extra star. We rarely spend more than $30-$35 here and that's after two entrees, dessert, appetizers, and drinks. That would run you $50+ in most decent restaurants. read more

My daughter and I both got the salmon with rice. There was barely a spoonful of rice on the plate. When we asked for more rice you would have thought I asked for the cash register. We were told we couldn't have anymore rice unless we sent the meal back??? WT actual Fu&k. read more

My family and I loves this place. Everything we have ordered have been great and delicious. Their Spinach dip and stacked onion app are a good starter. Their bourbon glazed salmon and Dijon chicken and mushroom are my favs. Also all there sides are made from scratch, broccoli cheese casserole is amazing. A great place for family dinner or just dinner in general. Very pleased. read more

We were seated promptly. Our waiter seems a little off, couldn't seem to understand and seemed a bit confused. I get that they say made from scratch but sheesh! It took forever for our food to come out. When it finally came out, my steak was Luke warm and I had to send it back to be re-prepared. When it came back out the steak was still not hot like it just came off the grill. The overall experience wasn't very positive. Not sure if they're just overwhelmingly busy or if the service just isn't up to par. Either way not sure how likely it is that I will return to this location. read more

Let's start with I couldn't put a 0 star review. Secondly I have not eaten at any Cheddars since my last visit here in 2010. We ate here twice that year and the first time was so so. We decided to give it another try for one of the girls birthdays. Big mistake. The server was completely incompetent. Got drink orders wrong, didn't check on refills etc. That was the good part of the experience. The order was steak and shrimp, 3 orders of ribs, and a buffalo chicken strips. My steak was overcooked twice(second time I just dealt with it). The steak and shrimp were bland. My daughters buffalo chicken was hard and so spicy hot she couldn't eat it. All 3 ribs were cooked well on the inside but the outside was so charred the bbq side peeled off like a piece of wood paneling. After complaints to the server then, i guess the manager, nothing more than an apology. When I arrived home I contacted cheddars home office via email to tell them about my experience and they sincerely apologized and offered me a chips and queso for my troubles. I spent over 85 dollars at their restaurant on inedible food and their answer was to offer me the cheapest thing on the menu. I was so put off by their attitude I have never and will never go back. There are a lot of great restaurants in kentuckyana I can't believe this dive stays busy. read more

Never disappointed with Cheddars! Large portions, great food, great service! We ordered the chicken fingers; it was plenty to share for two! The broccoli cheese casserole as a side was great. The spinach dip is my favorite from any restaurant. My only complaint about Cheddars is that there arent more around! Would love a Cheddars near us in Michigan! read more

I can usually count on Cheddar's. They food is good and they have something to please everyone. A variety of choices. Some of my favorites are the spinach dip, the asian shrimp salad, the Maui margarita, and the cookie monster. Put those together and that is one marvalous meal! Great for groups and for families. It is almost always crowded but I have never waited more than 10 minutes for a table. The staff is friendly and works hard. Two thumbs up! read more

Food is good...service good....sometimes I think its a little expensive. Facility is very clean. I had the salmon for lunch...he had lemon chicken. We were stuffed and very satisfied. Service was fast! read more

Walked in at 120 pm with three and a child. Asked to sit near tv to watch the World Cup. The host said, ok I'll need to bus a table if you want to wait." We said we'd wait. 5 minutes later the table wasn't bussed and we were still waiting. We asked what was up. She, one of the 6 people at the host stand, says "I asked someone to do it.!" She then walked around looking for a busser. There were 5 glasses! Why couldn't she do it?! After another minute we told them we were leaving. The hostess says, "never mind, don't clean it, they're leaving." I'm embarrassed for the management. read more

I can't believe the other review was so disappointed in Cheddar's when literally everyone I know thinks it's the greatest. Also, the crowd they always have attests to that fact. We don't eat there often because it's always crowded when we are needing to eat. We try to go on off hours to get in soon, and even then, it has plenty of customers. I think the food is really good for the price. Burgers are fantastic, huge, and cheap. The country fried steak is humongous, the chicken fingers are good and crispy and all the portions are so large only a big eater could eat it all. We've had a large variety of food there with many members of our family and friends and I've never heard any complaints. I consider it an A++++ type place. I have always had great waiters there who are courteous, quick and check on you often. I think they train them well and keep them. They don't pester you, but do their job. (I hate going to a restaurant where you are done with your meal before they bother to come back and see if you want anything! I won't go again if that's the case.) I only negative thing I could say about this restaurant is the fact that you might have to wait for about 30 min. or so to get in if it's prime time, but it's the same at Olive Garden or any good place on this side of the river. read more

It started with garbage and smashed food on the floor under our table. We waited literally for 5 minutes for someone to come, but they never did. My wife eventually took it upon herself to sweep. We ordered the nachos for an appetizer, they were cold. Shredded cheeses want even melted past the first layer. Once the food came out anything that wasn't fried was cold. Steak, salmon, broccoli, macaroni and cheese. This experience is one why I hate going to chain restaurants. Less care and detail in food. No one has any true ownership. read more

I have taken my son for late lunch. Parking - too narrow. If you have a big SUV and a mini van parked next to each other, someone might dent your vehicle. Bathroom - I was coming from a hospital and went there to wash my hands before sat down. There were a piece of paper towel in the sink. I am not sure how often they clean it but that's not good. Server - When I came back from bathroom, I asked my son if the waiter came by. Answer was no. And waited for a couple more minutes after that. Seating - - Needs a tall divider between the booth for two reasons. Whomever sat behind me's arm touched me more than one occasion. That was annoying. And the family sat behind us was loud and annoying. Who wants to hear annoying little child or annoying loud adult for that matter? Divider is necessary to block a stranger from touching you and suppressing the noise. - The size of the booth is adequate, if they have a big family/a group which do not fit in the booth, they need to divide. Don't they know that it was a code violation to put a chair on the walkway? Service - It was ok. Nothing extra ordinary. What bothered me was the waiter did not bring back the exact change. That's like dishonest to me so I only tipped him $3.00. Food was not all that great. Spinach dip tasted like diluted defrosted spinach dip. Chicken and waffles were terrible. Someone forgot to put butter on it. Baked spaghetti, my son let me taste it and ummm too plain. And they did not offer any Parmesan cheese. Takeout box - don't be stingy on the to go box. I had to bend over my chicken to fit them in a container. Price Cheap eats = too many little children = unpleasant and annoying dinning experience No, I will not go back there. read more

Cheddar's has some pretty good menu options, but the service is always hit and miss. Sometimes you won't see your waiter at all and sometimes they will talk you to death...I've never had a happy medium. But I keep going back, so I guess I really do like the food... As far as appetizers, the onions rings at Cheddar's are really stellar. The breading is light and they come with a ranch and zesty dipping sauce. The portion is HUGE. I also enjoy the chips and queso. The salsa is sweet and chunky and the queso is creamy with flecks of red and green pepper. I usually get the chicken tenders basket. They have some of the best chicken tenders I've ever had. Really tender and the breading is very tasty. I also like the lunch potion of catfish. I've also had the soup and salad lunch special with the potato soup. The potato soup is tasty--creamy and cheesy--comparable to O'Charley's. Cheddar's is a favorite standby if we are getting ready to head home from a day of shopping on the Clarksville strip with the last stop being Walmart or Target. It's a good stop right before getting on the interstate to head home. read more

Well..... gotta say we were a bit disappointed. We LOVE LOVE LOVE Cheddar's normally but tonight was not so good. We got seated quite quickly but our server, Montana, was very slow in getting or drink order and she really didn't check on us throughout the meal. We got the Bourbon Pork Chop and the GiGi's Spasagna. Spasagna was ok. Nothing to really write home about. But very disappointed in the pork chop! Pink center. Not a lot of flavor. So disappointing. Guess we should gone to Olive Garden after all. Broken hearted on this Valentine's Dinner Date. Sorry Cheddar's. read more
