The service wasn't a good one, the place was very tidy and the burger needed a lot more flavor. Overall wasn't a very good experience read more

Cheddars is a solid option when you're in the road. They have a diverse and proteins packed menu which also includes lunch specials. I was excited to see that the classic spasagna was back on the menu as well! I opted for the New Orleans pasta. It was a hearty serving with included garlic bread. The flavor was jammed packed with a little spice. I do wish the overall temperature was hotter. Seemed like they took warm sauce and put it over cool noodles. Overall a good experience. read more

We stopped here after a long day of driving - we had the most wonderful server who made our son a special chocolate milk (made his night)! She was so friendly and kind. Made the experience that much more enjoyable! All the food was great - we just really appreciated the enjoyable dining experience read more

Janay was our server... she was sweet, helpful and just a ball of sunshine-she deserves a RAISE!!! This was my first time at this location and she's one of the reasons I'll be back. The atmosphere was great and it was clean and i. The crescents were heavenly as always, the Country Fried Chicken matched with the mashed potatoes and corn was great... juicy and fresh...topped it off with a Painkiller...Perfection read more

I brought my mom in for a dinner. The staff was beyond sweet!!! I got to try the honey butter croissant, which was very yummy!! My mom didn't know what she wanted, until she did, then there was no changing her mind. She wanted onion rings! Well,they were out of onion. I mean, things happen, it was a busy week, it made sense to me. Well, she was disappointed and talked about it for days..... she got the cheese curds. Which I tried and thought they were great!!!! I also ordered the monte cristo! It was done perfectly. I didn't eat it all at the restaurant, mom had a small appetite. I warned the rest up at home, and it was still good!!!!!! The waitress Ashlyn was so very nice to us. The seating was comfortable and it was clean. Even though my mom didn't get her onion rings, she was very pleased and wants to go again and. Would very much recommend it to a friend. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Monte Cristo with Loaded Baked Potato - Comfort Food Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Went for a birthday lunch with 5 people. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess and seated right away. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive to every detail. Our food came out hot, perfect and most importantly delicious. One of the best burgers I've had. The manager also stopped by to check on everything. Exceptional service, great food. Cheddar's should be on your regular top 3 list. read more

Servers are Great. It is freezing. Like 65-68 degrees. I noticed several employees wearing jackets. Asked manager to turn it up/make warmer. It is a Little bit better. read more

Tonight was the second and final time that we come to visit this Cheddars location. The last visit we came here, I ordered chicken pot pie. After placing my order our server came back to inform us that "I'm sorry we are out of the pot pie." So I ordered a different dish. Tonight was an almost identical repeat. Ordered the chicken pot pie and afterwards our server came back and informed us "I'm sorry we're out of the pot pies. It'll be 25 minutes before we have any more." Can someone tell me how in the world you "run out" of chicken pot pies when that is one of your signature meals. Not only once but both times I've come, mysteriously they've been out. Sounds to me like the kitchen manager or location manager isn't doing their job effectively. I definitely WILL NOT be back to this location. Looks like whoever owns this location needs to seriously consider making a change to how this restaurant is run. read more

went there on March 26 of 2026. Waited two days to write the review so that I wasn't just angry typing at the screen. Last time I went to this particular location was during the pandemic. I actually got better service during the pandemic I did on this particular visit. The waiter was forgettable. No real personality and came across as lazy. Ordered drinks, three waters with lemon. He says that they are out of lemon wedges and he needs to cut some more never does. The table next to is piled high with half eaten food and trash. It stayed this way for over 20 minutes until we requested somebody clean the table. I ordered the two pieces of boneless fried chicken with country gravy,, loaded, mashed potatoes and green beans. The green beans were canned green beans nothing special no real flavor. The chicken was good and juicy. Had a nice crunch. The country gravy well I can't really tell you I got about 2 tablespoons, and the waiter told me that they were out of gravy and it would take about 15 minutes to make some more. I requested more country gravy as we were packing to leave because I still had a piece of chicken left. no country gravy. The loaded mashed potatoes were very tasty. I actually wish the serving had been bigger. There was also a piece of toast under the fried chicken. It was burned black. Un edible. So between the lack of cleanliness, the lack of the weight staff to do anything to actually improve our experience, i.e. lemon wages, more gravy, completely lacking. The food was hit or miss some parts of it were delicious, i.e. the loaded mashed potatoes, and the butter, honey croissants other parts were completely forgettable, like the green beans or completely un edible like the toast. For the prices that we paid for this meal, you'd expect better quality. Probably won't be back if this is any indication of the quality of service these days. Go somewhere else to celebrate your birthday. read more

This place is amazing if you like sitting around and being ignored for an hour. We came in on a Monday night. It was not busy at all. Waited 30 minutes to be seated by the hostess, whom was busier helping the bus boy than taking care of the guests. After being seated, that's all we did. Someone came by twice and mumbled something and walked away. We went to the bar to get our drinks. Finally, after we finished our drinks, we walked out. No one cared. No one cared...... read more

Sunday Jan 18 2026, at 4:30pm. Came in to a 20 min wait to be seated and there were atleast 20 tables open. Then they bring 2 rolls out. 1 per person and they were small. If you want more they are 2.00 a piece extra. Very stingy with complimentary bread. Then 5 to 7 min wait on waiter. Immediately ordered and waited 25 min. To get food. With hardly Noone occupying seats. It took me and my girl 45 to 50 min just to get food. Very disappointed. Along with that during the wait you could hear the employees playing and being very loud in the back. Will not eat here again. read more

honestly, very horrible service. My food was very cold. It was not fresh. They out my potato twice and My steak was not the proper size that I asked for I asked for appetizer it came out with my food. I had to wait to be seated multiple seats were open. Honestly, I just wouldn't recommend the strawberry not a strawberry lemonade at all horrible. Over cooked my fathers & stepmom streak 14oz was a 6 oz read more

Great service food is really really good of course the pian killers drink the best of the world ...manager took time to offer its great home made jam. Love it best place to eat in Dothan ,Al. read more

Always a good meal here. Seated quickly and treated well. What more do you need? Lots of menu variety also

Grilled chicken pecan salad! Honey mustard or lime dressing. Perfect and light enough yet filling!

Our large party at Lone Horn was delayed. We called Cheddar and told us to come and they would accommodate us. They were amazing and the service was quick thanks to our servers Ann and Jordan. I hadn't been to Cheddar in awhile but I definitely will be returning soon! read more

So after a long day I did curb side and when I arrived it was raining a little outside! However I was not notified that when it sprinkles outside they no longer bring the food out to the cars! So after waiting 45 mins for my already done food and got home it was cold and awful! read more

food good. service amazing!!! far too cold in this restaurant- nose is running feet are popsicles!!! ridiculously cold! read more

The waitress was not friendly , got our order wrong, then spilled honey mustard all over me and the table and did very little to help clean it up. she did spray cleaner on the table with our food on it. It was an awful experience. Stay away!! read more

When we received our croissants, they weren't fresh or even hot, but they still tasted good. When our food came, it wasn't fresh at all. The French fries tasted cold and stale. None of the food was hot at all. The penne pasta we ordered was not served with garlic bread like the menu said it would be. We ordered a trio sampler. The spinach dip was basically empty. It was very hard to actually scoop the dip onto the chip. We asked our waitress to have it remade, the "remade" spinach dip came out in the same condition as the original. Spinach dip, or any dip should not be physically hard like our Spinach dip was. Our waitress was nice but she didn't offer us any refills at all. Overall, this is the worst Cheddar's I've been to. read more

Food was over cooked on the tenders, really dry. The salad dressings tasted old. The servers were polite and attentive. But will not go back due to food quality. read more

The interior was nice. If they put as much into the food and service as they do the appearance they would be good but, that was not the case for us. We ordered the meatloaf. The first bite was good and nice and soft but the more I ate the less I wanted. I found pink meat in mine and the gravy was good but had no onions or mushrooms and was scarce. The broccoli consisted of 5 pieces boiled with no salt or butter. The loaded baked potato was not loaded. It did not have chives or bacon bits. Only cheese and sour cream and the peeling was hard as if it sat under a heat lamp for too long. Noone showed us how to use the machine to check ourselves out when we tried to pay and they wouldn't check us out any other way. We had to ask for help. And had to ask for a receipt. When the waitress asked "were you impressed" I had a hard time answering and she questioned me on that too. She also inappropriately stood with her arm across the back of my boyfriend's seat standing slumped towards him. I had one medium size glass of tea and he had the same size glass of soda. Both were over 3 dollars each. So glad we didn't accept a refill. I would not recommend eating there. read more

The food was wonderful as usual. The service was great, we had a lovely young lady as our server Jazzilyn ? Not sure how to spell her name. The head bartender Liane was also wonderful and accommodating with the wine selection. They don't have Merlot at Cheddars, so the next best thing to taste was a red. Anyway it's always great in there. We always enjoy it there. read more

Ribs tough as Texas leather, server was OK. Manger SUCKED!Don't even think about it. HORRIBLE ​! Dothan, Alabama

Every time that I've eaten at Cheddar's on Montgomery, in Dothan, AL, I have gotten sick while eating the food. I don't know what they put in it that gives me extreme diarrhea...but, it has happened every time only when I have eaten that one particular restaurant. Over 6 yrs, we went there 8 times, so we will never go back there. read more

I went for the first time and I was skeptical but it turned out great. I loved the tilapia with shrimp over rice and the red beans and rice were good. The salad was great. I will be back. read more

Highly don't recommend!! Got sick immediately after eating the food and honestly I didn't finish because I threw it back up . The manager basically didn't care and said it wasn't the food. Run away from this place read more

Ordered drinks and took forever to get them. Didn't get refills til 35 min later. Clearly didn't give us the right appetizer. But that's not a huge problem. Alfredo sauce was very watery. Took forever to even get the food and nobody was there. Empty tables everywhere, but it still took a while. read more

We enjoyed the service and the food was great!! We shared a Monti Cristo and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was also lovely. We highly recommend. read more

Would not recommend, because where's my loaded baked potato? I ordered a loaded baked potato with this meal and this is what I received. Highly disappointed in Cheddars. read more

Here's another one of those reviews that I'm having a hard time providing. I've driven by this place a few times and it always seemed to have a lot of cars in the lot. It has a pretty big parking lot, so parking shouldn't be a problem. Well, I finally decided to stop in and eat an early dinner. The hostess said seating at the bar was at my discretion (with pandemic protocols in place). Being early, there wasn't many people seated inside. Scanning the menu, I quickly noticed they listed a "chicken pot pie"....which is one of my favorites! I was in great anticipation of something absolutely satisfying my taste buds. When it arrived, it looked absolutely delicious. But the ratings go down from there. The crust was a nice, flaky golden brown. Punching through the crust with my spoon, I expected to see a nice, hot steam rising out of it (to indicated it was hot)....but not steam. I also expected to plunge right into the soupy part right below the crust. The filling wasn't even close to the crust top. I estimate the "bowl" was just over half full. Since I'd never been to one of these restaurants from their chain, I assumed that is how they fill them. Well the crust taste was fairly bland. The soupy filling wasn't much better. I definitely needed to add some salt and pepper to give it some flavor. My server (bartender) was very pleasant and refilled my Coke without me even asking. In fact, she asked if I like my drink topped off and in a to-go cup. This is a pretty nice looking place inside and out. But I was sooooo disappointed in the taste of my chicken pot pie. I've had them at numerous places across the country....and as much as I hate to say it, "this was the worst tasting one" I've had. The Marie Calendar frozen one you get from the grocery store put this one to shame....flavor-wise. So I'm puzzled how it could even be on the menu....did I just happen to get a poorly made one? I'd like to give this place another try...but I'll definitely be trying something else off the menu. My best advice about this place is to try and judge for yourself, but do NOT order the chicken pot pie. read more

Cheddar's opened a few years ago in Dothan. I had it once before and it was ok. I chose the shepherd's pie then, which is not on the menu anymore. Cheddar's is conveniently located by the movies in Dothan. The building itself is very up to date and clean with a huge aquarium. Cheddar's prides themselves on making everything from scratch. I believe them. I asked the waiter what was his favorite dish on the menu and he said the Country Fried Chicken. This Country Fried Chicken put Cracker Barrel's to shame. It was all kinds of fried goodness without all the grease that lingers. The batter was really great and the gravy on top made it even better! I usually eat everything with sauce but with the gravy, there was no need. The meal came with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. You can substitute if you don't like those choices. No denying the mashed potatoes wasn't made from scratch as they had butter and pepper mixed in. The green beans were sweet and really good. I hate green beans that taste like bland beans. My brother had the Monster Cookie. It's a huge chocolate chip cookies that comes on a skillet with ice cream on it. If the chicken wasn't so good, I think I would have been happy with these monster cookie. My 2nd visit to Cheddar's was better than the first and I will consider eating at Cheddar's more often. read more

My friend and I came here for dinner. I ordered their bourbon glazed salmon. It was served over white rice with honey baby carrots and sweet corn. It was cooked perfectly and the portion was pretty big. Delicious! The best part is our bartender/waitress Brooks. She was very courteous and always smiled. I must say, she also didn't skimp on my Tito's vodka with Sprite. Lol!!! I will definitely come here again when I'm in town!!! read more

A popular restaurant on the main street. We waited about 40" for our party of five. Food is average as is the service. Comfort food is their specialty. Just okay for this chain. No big deal overall. I think this place can do better and it should. read more

We had the best waitress named Desiree. She was a sweetheart. The food was so good. I ordered the sirloin and ribs.I usually get my steak and I always have to send it back before they get it right. That wasn't the case here. It was so delicious. My niece got the salmon and she loved it. read more

Don't waste your time!!! We visited for lunch as a family of 5 on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated in the bar area at 1:05pm, and after waiting over an hour and fifteen minutes we finally got our food. By the time it came, there was almost no one left in the restaurant. There were several items left off of our order, such as ranch for chicken tenders and gravy for mashed potatoes. One staff member finally came and apologized for the error and wait time. Our waitress acted like nothing had happened and everything was just fine. Overall it wasn't an enjoyable experience or very good meal. We won't be coming back! read more
