    Complementary butter croissant, which is sweet and the cheese curds
    Bobby C.

    Came here on the Darden gift card, which apparently owns Olive Garden, cheddars Longhorn steak, yardhouse and some others. I started with the Wisconsin cheese, curds and ranch. I followed that up with the cheddars trio sampler which comes with chicken tenders, spinach dip, and homemade queso and chips. I like the Olive Garden and I also love the Yardhouse and cheddar scratches as I love the of those takes on the chain restaurants but not as well known and still providing quality food. They focus on comfort food (chiven biscuits and gravy type fare) and the quality is equal to cheesecake factory in my opinion. All in all the price came to over $20 bucks for Wisconsin cheese curds and the sampler platters rig tenders, spinach dip and chips and their yellow queso sauce. Usually I only want queso if it's white but I took a gamble on the yellow goo and it was tasty. The curds are also amazing

    Good casual ambience great prices, great for families, Good drinks, good fast service, but very mediocre food.

    Bone-In Ribeye

    First time here, I got the bone-in ribeye -- bad choice and should not be your restaurant of choice for a good steak. Second time, I got the chicken tender platter and it looks flavorful, but was very much the opposite. The service was amazing both times I went, but the food was always lacking and you could very much tell that they don't season anything. Wouldn't recommend, for the cost of bland food.

    My daughter wanted some chicken fingers, so we decided to stop here for lunch. They gave us free butter crossaints and I had a house salad. we shared cheese curds as an appetizer and I had the monte cristo which I loved and my daughter enjoyed her chicken fingers.

    Food has always been great. Service is good and friendly and fast. Prices won't leave you with an empty wallet.

    Why did Cheddars drop the Spasgna from the menu? It was a one of a kind dish and my absolute favorite. What would it take to bring it back?

    Please bring it back! It was my favorite, too. SPASAGNA

    Ordered a French Silk Pie and Heath Crunch Cheesecake for Christmas dinner. Door Dash delivered…read moreon Wednesday and I took them straight to the fridge. Expecting the pies I had ordered, much to my disappointment, there were 2 flat pumpkin pies. Called the next day and spoke to the manager. She told me if I had the time, I could bring them in and get a refund. REALLY?? WTH?? We did eat 1 because we all expected dessert. I expressed my thoughts and told her to have a happy New Year. GRRR!! I hope, the family that got my order, enjoyed every bite and had a MERRY CHRISTMAS dinner You're welcome.

    All I can say is.... ugh…read more I'll start with the positives. - Our waitress was amazing. (I wish I had gotten her name. She was trying her hardest and insanely friendly.) - Parking is a non-issue, unless the parking lot is packed. (So if you see a full parking lot, know there will be a wait time.) - Conveniently located off the interstate and near the IRL. - The bakery is great. Can't beat a freshly made pie or muffin! - Eggs are hard to cook consistently all day, everyday. My over easy eggs were perfection. - Prices seemed pretty standard and the portions were decent. But ultimately, Perkins is a chain I will be avoiding from here on out. First off, they got rid of their trio of syrups! Bummer. But mostly, it took us over an hour to get our food and it was half empty at the time. Plus, my order was lost and came out a solid 10-15 minutes after the rest of my group. (Though I will say the manager is the one that hand delivered it to our table.) My biggest qualm is just that it is so insanely loud and chaotic. It's just not a spot I'd want to go at 8AM with my family. I left with a headache unfortunately. Overall, the staff is delightful and bakery is top notch!

    To be honest I feel bad leaving such a low review for a fine dining staple, but came today for my…read moreDad's 75th birthday and quite possibly has the worst $200 meal on my life. The $50 sirloin steak was served cold. Because our waitress, Grace H, failed to even ask how our food was the entire time until after we had eaten everything I couldn't even send it back. I spent the entire time trying to make eye contact with her but she was busy taking new tables. When she finally came to ask how our food was and was told, her response was I will let the kitchen know. Not "I will bring you another plate" or even discount or comp the entree. Not what you'd expect from Iowa city's fine dining flagship. The prices were not just expensive, but over the top expensive. $50 for an 8 ounce sirloin. $56 for 12 average oysters. To be honest it's below average in value to a nice restaurant in LA, NY or Chicago. They may thrive because the IC elite doesn't have many options for upscale dining. But for someone who has lived in those cities and eaten at Michelin star culinary venues this place is lacking in both food and service for the prices they charge. It was enough of a bad experience that I will never be back. There's Chez Grace, Joseph's and 126 which offer quality food, much better value and food service. Posting my food pics and the receipt to see what $200 gets you here.
