Okay where should I begin when it comes to the LEGENDARY CHEDDAR'S? Better yet, THIS LEGENDARY CHEDDAR'S in particular lol... Okay I've been eating at this restaurant since I was a child. I even got fired in High School because I worked next door at McDonald's but went on break too long and was enjoying & seriously indulging myself with Spinach Dip & a Monte Cristo lmao!!! True Story... But this restaurant and staff has undergone so much thru these last decades. Cheddars is always the best BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. The food is Downhome Goodness at its finest and the Portion sizes are Phenomenal!!! If you wanna know some of the best menu Items I got you because I've literally ate EVERYTHING HERE!!! I also worked at Cheddars later on in College. YOU HAVE TO GET THE SPINACH DIP, The Onion Rings also are 1 of a kind. For Entrees, Everyone I MEAN EVERYONE used to get the Chicken Tender Platter until they Downsized. The Dijon Chicken, Lemon Pepper Catfish, Spasagna is something different, Their CLUB sandwich, The Monte Cristo will make u a Believer, Buffalo Chicken Wrapper add pickles is YUMMMmmm, The Pot Pie is 1 of the Best I've ever had, The Honey Butter Croissants even tho lately they've slacked off on are still Great, Shit even a Basic Side Ceasar Salad. BROCCOLI CHEESE CASSEROLE. Hell, THE FUCKING RANCH!!! Dont act like yall dont know a Restaurant's Ranch can Make or Break your Visit... I could go on forever. Today my friend tried the new Chicken Tender Parmesan and he was NOT IMPRESSED, I stuck with Lemon Pepper Catfish and I WAS A HAPPY MAN LILE ALWAYS Lol. But to sum things up Cheddars is ideal for Good Homestyle food at a GREAT PRICE. The atmosphere is Beautiful and Cozy. The staff & Location here is Ehhhhhh, Mmmmm, Uhhhhhh. Well years ago I remember We did close the Patio because people would always walk off on their Check same like Chilli's next door where I also worked and we had to have Dallas Police on Weekends lol... Anyways lets concentrate on the Food and thats why yall will stay 4 Stars & beyond in my Book... Cheddars I LOVE YOU!!! read more

On more than a few occasions we have been there and it has been dirty and smelled. Once I went there for lunch, was seated and waited for several minutes (11) and was passed by more than two waitresses. No one bothered to ask if I had been helped. As I left, I let the manage know. thought that had improved. We went there this past Friday and same thing, unmanned sections, unprofessional, unapproachable staff and the tables and menus were not clean. read more

I had a paragraph typed up explaining why I gave what I gave but I realized it wasn't worth my fingers being on this page longer than I needed too lol.. Customer service is trash.... read more

Cheddars is one of the few restaurants close by that has something everyone in my family loves so we frequent there often and are very familiar with the food and service. Tonight the service was extremely slow, there were things floating in my iced water and my food was cold and some of it was under cooked. Our server acknowledged, apologized and honored my request to speak with a manager to discuss my issues...she even asked the manager if she could have the food re made and placed in to go boxes. I appreciated all she did....only for her to bring out more cold and undercooked food. Extremely disappointed. Cheddar's if you would like to see a video of the dirty water and cold undercooked food please let me know. read more

We were set by the hostess. Set and waited 9 minutes were never acknowledged got up and left. And this is not the 1st time this has happened deftly would not recommend! read more

Our servers name was Jamaal. I ordered a chicken pot pie with a side salad. My pot pie came out 5 minutes before my side salad. (Typically anyone would want the salad first) My friend ordered the chicken tender meal with a dipping sauce on the side. We were halfway through our meals when dipping sauce arrived. Also, her sweet tea was EMPTY almost our entire meal....eventually a different server brought her one. Overall the food was delicious. The service was very unpleasant. Server seemed very nonchalant and inexperienced. read more

It's pricy fast food, my kids love it. The swirls at this location are not as strong as Grand Prairie location and they are not served to the rim. Mash potatoes are so water down. Service is fast. read more

This restaurant should be close down. The service there is horrible. Me and my family sat and waited for over 2 hours just for them to tell us they lost our order on the screen. The manager was making excuses for their staff being lazy and not willing to work. She had two tables and both of us complained about our meal. They need to closedown and do some serious training. Cheddars on LBJ and Hampton just to be exact. read more

My Cheddar's experience: on September 4, 2019, I ordered my food and did not get when I ordered, the food was cold, and it did not taste good. I kept my receipt when I left I checked my bank account and they charge me an additional $10 more then when I paid for. I returned to the restaurant and requested to speak to the manager and showed them the receipt and my bank account to show proof that they charged me an additional $10. They told me that sometimes it takes a while for the bank to clear and for me to check with my bank. I explained to them that I was going to sue them for the additional charge. I left my bank today on 9 October, I showed them my receipt, and my bank confirmed that cheddars put the $10 back on my debit card few days after I left the restaurant to complain to them What does that tell you about Cheddar's? Let me help you out. Does lack of integrity comes to mind? There is a reason why this restaurant gets 2 1/2 stars on Yelp. Now I presume that someone from Cheddar's will write a rebuttal to cover up their mess. They should change their name from cheddar's to cheaters. That's actually kind of funny but it's not. Have a great day. read more

I used to love Cheddars and the food is still pretty good but this location, which is the one we used to always good to has really gone down hill. The wait was 25 minutes at 4 PM, it didn't even seem that busy, I thought the place looked a bit unclean. Once we were seated are waiter was good and the food was great, I'll try the Grand Prairie location next time and see if it's any better. I think possibly they need new management. The Buffalo chicken wrap and chips and queso are my favorite items here. read more

Went here for lunch today, took 15 mins to find a parking space. Another 15 mins at the bar to get food ordered. But food came out within 10 minutes which is great. Stayed simple due to shortage of time, ordered chicken tender basket. The chicken tenders were very crispy on the outside and the meat was juicy. Fries were seasoned heavily, which I like. Good food, bartender was in the woods during lunch hour though. This is a good chain, hopefully will get to try full meal next visit. read more

This is the worst service I have received in a very long time. First of all we had to wait over 40 minutes before we were seated. Which was fine because that's the norm on the weekend. It took a while to get our food bc of course they were busy, so they get a pass for that. When the waitress came and took Our order I put emphasis on how much I HATE pink meat, my request was WELL DONE (I ordered steak) Bad enough I had to wait over 30 minutes just to get my food but when she brought it it was fully pink. If I wanted pink meat I could just go bite a cow. So I sent it back. In addition to initially waiting 30 minutes, I NOW I had to wait an additional 25 minutes just to get what I originally ordered. By this time I have drank all my soda and if you go here often you know their glasses are small. So when she brought my steak back I had to wait an additional 15 minutes on plastic ware ( I can't eat off restaurant silverware) Now my waitress had another table directly behind me that she was constantly going to. I sat my Glass directly on the end of the table just to make sure she saw my Empty glass. She passed my table more than 6 times and not one time did she ask if we needed a refill, if we were ok or anything. I wanted some More bread lol Anyway to sum it up not only was my order wrong and I had to wait a long period of time before I got my food, I also had to eat my Food without anything to drink because I drank that small Glass of soda before my correct order of Food was brought back. I couldn't even finish my food because my Mouth was so dry. $50 ticket and couldn't even get a refill. I asked for the manager and ended up only having to pay $20 but as bad as the service was it should have been free. I will never go back to this cheddars ever in life. read more

o Rating waitress was rough around the edges. Spinach dip chicken pot pie, cheese burger fries all LUKEWARM. Coleslaw tasted like slop. Half way through my meal came a nasty watered down Margarita. First time, last time I am done. Customer Service ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING! read more

Slow and terrible service. We had to look at a table full of dirty dishes during our whole time there. Our order was wrong and the waitress never came back with what we ordered. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - This was my view during my dinner at cheddars's. Order was wrong and very slow service. - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Service was the failing point on my visit yesterday. I had a very important client with me. The CEO of a billion dollar company. The sever eas short and ill mannered. It was embarrassing. The server insisted my guest order another veggie with his order, but refused to let my guest see the menu again. Instead, he just quickly rattled off 6I options and then stood there. My guest ordered the last option mentioned. I noticed he didnt even touch them when served. You never know who you have in front of you!!! read more

Reginald is a perfect example of great customer service. He didn't forget any of my orders and made sure we got everything we ordered. Even gave us complimentary rolls. I'm bragging to the manager when I leave. read more

We often do take outs from this place for lunch. We got veggie plate which consisted of either house salad or tortilla soup, butter croissant, and four choice of sides. We got tortilla soup which was basically tomato and onion cooked in water. I ordered loaded potato, steamed broccoli, sweet carrots, and broccoli casserole. The price was reasonable ($5.99) but the food was meh! They forgot my loaded potato and instead gave 2 broccoli casseroles. Their butter croissant is yummy. read more

I had a good meal...my server was excellent...great drinks! I recommend it! Easy on/off the freeway. read more

Whoa, that's a lot of huge onion rings! As an out of town person visiting this state for the first time, that was my reaction to ordering that onion ring appetizer! I ordered the steak with the half slab of ribs and my meal was just perfect! Ribs were nice and saucy and the steak was seasoned and cooked well. The deciding factor for giving this place five stars was the speed and quality of service. Thank you Cheddars! Too bad I probably won't see you again since I live on the West Coast :-( read more

I love Cheddars...always have. We needed to find a place to eat that eight people could agree on. Of course, my first thought was Cheddars - especially since it was just across the highway. My favorite thing on the menu is the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich, though I will say that their Baked Potato Soup rocks!! I always sub onion straws for fries and, again, it did not disappoint. The wait for our food took way too long, but without us even complaining the manager came out, apologized for the long wait and said our tab would be significantly discounted. Score! Eight people ate for $37, talk about a discount and we didn't even ask for it, but of course we didn't turn it down either. read more

Well it's my second visit to Cheddars in a short time. The food continues to impress but the kitchen doesn't get the food out in a timely manner. It's so bad that you want to leave but stay because you've already invested 45 minutes. The servers are friendly and caring so I don't blame them but where is a manager? So I'm hoping to visit again for good food but only when my life is so bad that sitting in Cheddars all day will be a highlight. By the way, awesome monte Christo sandwich, Buffalo wrap, broccoli cheese casserole, gone croissants but running out of French fries seems suspect. Sorry for the rant but hope they get it together soon. read more

I've been coming to this location for years and this is the first time I've ever come across a hostess as rude as the one I had. It was still 3 1/2 hours before closing and they only had 3 parties in-front of us and we were still told we were not guaranteed to be sat, I've worked in food before so I know that's something you shouldn't not tell customers. If you don't want business just say that. Do better Cheddars. read more

Cheddar is a great place to eat good service good food and all I recommend the salmon it's the best and the spinach dip oh lord I never know what to order read more

Worst establishment I have ever been to in my whole life. I love cheddars and have never had an issue with them until I visited this location. We arrived at 5:00pm on a Saturday and were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for a party of two. We were fine with that as we expected it to be maybe even longer since it was dinner time on a Saturday. We didn't end up getting seated until 6:00pm which is not the part I have the most issue with but if the wait is going to be that long, i would expect the establishment to let me know that upfront, not tell me 15-20 minutes. Anyway, we get seated and our server didn't attend to us until 20 minutes later of us sitting there. As soon as he attended to us, we just went ahead and ordered everything. Drinks took 30 minutes to get, appetizer took 40 minutes to get and the entrees came out almost an hour later. This service was the slowest I have ever experienced from the moment I stepped into the building. The host girl was very distracted and walking around the entire restaurant instead of helping people who were walking in. The host desk was unattended very often. This establishment is full of a bunch of children who don't care about their jobs. They would all walk around the restaurant together play fighting, cussing at each other and making videos on their phones together. The server we had was extremely slow and seemed like he didn't care about his job either. One of the big red flags was that the chef himself brought us our food, not the server or one of the other 30 children working there who were doing absolutely nothing. It was all so bad that we saw 2 other couples leave 25 minutes after being seated because the server STILL didn't go see them. Not to mention that the couple next to us literally left the establishment without paying and the server came to ask us about it and laughed about it. There were also two very large parties that were nearby us that were SO LOUD and had their grimy kids running around, they were all yelling, blowing whistles and making so much noise that was really making the whole experience worse as they were just allowed to do that and no employee ever checked in with them to have them quiet down. And let me also add that the entire restaurant was dirty. Everywhere you looked there were stains, slimy hand prints on the glass, trash all over the floors, tables being left dirty for 30+ minutes , etc. Please do yourself a favor and never come to this location, it's so ghetto and full of employees as well as patrons that are disgusting and have absolutely no manners . This was my first and last visit to this location. It needs to be shut down immediately ! read more

The poorest customer service by far in all the cheddar locations i been to. Waiter had no manners poor vocabulary I was waited like i was in a homeless shelter lol its not even funny will defently avoid this location at all cost read more

I don't give it any stars it was our first time there and we wanted to try it out. When we got there they said 45 min wait when it didn't even look busy we waited patiently and when they brought us back they took long to take our drink orders , THEN also took long to bring our appetizers , we got there at 730 pm THEN ! we waited an HOUR for our food to be ready they say we're out of Fries they probably knew but didn't bother to let the waiter know and he had to change our orders when they doFINALLY bring our food he forgets my husbands toast bread and brings it when we're already done !!! Very very bad customers service the hostess the water I understand he seemed old and a little slow but that place needs NEW PEOPLE ALL THE WAY AROUND! The food was NOT GREAT EITHER !!!! I saw a lot of people complaining. WILL NOT RETURNING ANY LONGER AND DONT. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! read more

I've been put on hold several times for over 10 minutes for a carry-out order. Not worth it. I feel like the staff freaks out when they're busy. Dining in, however, is still a pretty good experience. read more

Came here with a group of 9 people on a Saturday night. Maybe because it was a Saturday night but it took a while for our drinks to come out. There was a wait for our food too, but when we did get them, it was delicious! The ones in our group that had been here spoke highly of the crossiant with honey butter glaze. OMG, it's amazing. It's like a little piece of heaven. Decently priced too. read more

When I walked in with my wife, the place was packed. After eating there, I can see why. It's a quality place to visit. I loved my Monte Cristo sandwich, which was deep fried to a golden brown yet warm and melty inside. The drinks were well mixed too, and it was all very affordable. Next time I'll be sure to get the croissants with honey butter but thats not a downer because I'll definitely be back! read more

There was too many fruit flies flying around and bitting us and there was glass in my food wouldn't eat at this location

Tried Cheddars out when we first moved to Texas. Quite honestly this place isnt bad especially for a chain restaurant. Once in a while I get in the mood for some fish and I remember the fish options here (all two of them) were not bad. I do remember having to ask for more of the mango salsa because there were literally three little chunks of tomato and two of mango on the fish. Also, someone in the back of the house was a little heavy handed with the sauce once and my entree arrived swimming in a pool of it. So I started asking for the sauces on the side. Very simple solution to an error of execution and presentation. My husband ate several items on the menu and I believe he liked them all. Clean restaurant, clean servers and bathroom read more

I love the food the portions and the cost. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star because the waiters were overwhelmed and slow!

Cheddars is one of my go to restaurants whenever I'm meeting friends out. The atmosphere is casual, the drinks are cheap, and the food is satisfying. This particular location is known for its mediocre service and long waits, but since I know this coming in, I'm not fazed by it. After a 20 min wait, my party was seated and our waitress was quick to take our food and drink orders. My drink wasn't tasty at first, but it definitely got me to where I wanted to be, so cheers to that! My order of fish tacos was delicious as always and my fries were hot and fresh. Enjoyable experience as usual, I'll be back in a few weeks! read more

Yeah. I go to Cheddars for the Monte Cristo and it was pretty good at this location but not the best. The establishment smelled 'unclean' and there was construction in the parking lot. The service was good. 4-star if the store would have smelled better and felt cleaner. 5-star if the food and the service (which were both above adequate) would have been outstanding. read more

I like cheddars. I'm not gonna lie. My only issue with this one is, the hostesses aren't the nicest people to greet which is absurd seeing the fact that, that's their literal job. Sometimes the servers forget you're their table. I wish I could say that's the first time it happened perrrrrooo it's often. I like cheddars, I just don't care for the location. read more

This review is regarding the location at 700 Interstate 635 Service Rd, Irving, TX. I had the HALF BLACKENED SHRIMP ALFREDO and 'LOADED' BAKED POTATO. I'm not sure that I was served the correct pasta dish. When I think Alfredo, I think of linguine noodles not penne pasta. It was an okay dish, but very under-seasoned. As for the 'loaded' baked potato, it was very dry, and served without butter. The 'loaded' only included bland sour cream and a few shreds of cheese. Bacon cost extra, and there are no chives! I wouldn't order either of these dishes again. read more

This was absolutely the worse dining out experience I ever had in my life.. I will never ever return to this place ever again and this must be the reason why I would pass it up all the time several years of when I first lived in Dallas and last night I wish I just passed it up. I decided to take my son out for a congratulation dinner for passing the 8th grade to becoming a freshman at high school and my sons dinner was ruined when we were taken to our seats the whole area was dirty food all over the floor and they was going to actually sit us there, I asked politely can we sit somewhere else and they did but this is not even the start of the horrible night long story short..we had a nice waiter so that's all I can say nice about this place... other wise it was ratchet and ghetto and dirty and I knew me and my family was too classy for this place..but the worst thing that happen this night of our dining out was... I became humiliated and embarrassed and was kicked out by a wanna be security cop that seem to stand in the same area where we was sitting for hours just watching TV and at the end of our dinner after I got my ticket I had to discipline one of my kids (not the soon to be 9th grader) and this jerk of a cop intervene thinking he was doing his job which he wasn't and told me I had to leave because I disciplined my son which was none of his business and I told him Sir this is my child mind your business like you been doing when other kids were running around climbing on poles and you said absolutely nothing. This security cop became aggressive towards me and told me now I need to get my a** outta of here now and he walked towards me as if he was going to attack me.. mind you I'm only 5"5 and this security cop was 6"5 or more I stated if you put your hands on me it will be a epic problem and he kept being aggressive saying I will put my hands on you if you don't get your a** out of here and I said you are a worthless cop to talk to someone like that and your very unprofessional he continued to be loud with me and kept rushing us I had belongings I had to gather and he kept rushing us out and we left our bagged up food and everything and as I was walking out another jerk at the bar called me a B word and I couldn't believe how my sons night was ruined and as I left out the restaurant this security cop humiliated me again and said hurry up and get out and go fix your hair..which my hair look nice, my hair is long all mines and real maybe he so used to women with wigs and weaves or something anyways I was so upset I asked for his badge and name because I wanted to report his unprofessionalism and he gave me a fake badge and a name but he will be reported..beware classy people do not go to this restaurant if you're classy..I will never be back ever again... read more

I've been to other Cheddar's locations and this one takes the crown as the worst. Decor: 2/5 -Typical Cheddar's decor, tables were not cleaned thoroughly and menus were sticky Service: 2.5/5 -must be understaffed the day I came. It wasn't busy nor packed. Had to wait about 20 minutes for a table that was already empty -No complaints with the server. He appeared new and I will give him some slack -Food came out at a normal pace. Not fast but not slow. Maybe leaning towards slow Food: 2/5 -We ordered various appetizers (nachos, quesadilla, dips) and they were all less than stellar. If you read the other reviews you'll notice the food isn't really made from scratch and you can definitely tell -I ordered the ribeye steak medium rare and it was cooked between medium to well done. Needless to say I was not pleased but didn't want to send it back because I was hangry I won't be coming back to this location. read more

The young lady at the host stand had a very disgusting attitude. As we walked into the establishment she rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth. It seemed as if she was bothered that we came into the Cheddars. When we asked about seating she told us the wait time with an attitude and did not suggest bar seating. Maybe she was having a bad day or was irritated about the young man in her ear however being that she is the first person we see she should not have any attitude. read more

Food was great and speedy service! Had the lemmon chicken meal, green beans on point.
