    Caesar salad
    Michael P.

    Relatively quiet at 5:00 on a Tuesday. Prompt and attentive service. The free croissant was an excellent start. My order, ribs and two veggies. All good. Ribs not really "fall off the bone" but they were tender, flavorful and very meaty! 6 bones and lots there. Veggies were "southern" cooked--pretty soft and sweet. A good accompaniment. The other order was blackened fish on rice. Pleasing as well. A good meal experience.

    Complementary butter croissant, which is sweet and the cheese curds

    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.

    HORRIBLE experience. Raw cheeseburger sent back, told would be comped and it was but then recharged further down on the receipt. Assistant manager when confronted, got upset and threatened to call the police that I and my 78-year-old mother where dine and dash customers, after cancelling the charge but stated she couldn't re-comp the burger again. When pressed about this issue, she crumpled up a piece of paper she was holding threw it on the counter turned and walked away saying "goodbye." Observed several of the wait staff, on their cell phones as if just hanging out. Very few customers. Just an all-around appalling experience. DO NOT recommend. Additional info: Pictures of the second burger that I took as a carry-out

    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

We were in town to move my daughter into her apt as college starts back up so this was our last dinner before I headed back home. The food was ready on time and piping hot. We also enjoyed the warm bread w/ the 2 butters. The meal was delicious and cooked perfectly! Highly recommend this place when you're in town - thank you Longhorn!

    I was originally going to give less than 4 stars but I think the manager handled it appropriately…read moreso kudos to him! My waiter Austin was very professional and was on top of our drinks and so on. The restaurant was clean and looks like any other Longhorn! But..... My filet mignon was WAY under cooked. I asked for medium and I got rare. I don't mind a medium rare but that's it for me. Again the waiter and manager both took care of it! Would I go back though? Probably not. At least not for a long time. When you go to a steakhouse you expect that your steak is going to be cooked to how you requested it. The baked potato was fantastic!!!!
