    Onion rings
    Joe S.

    OK food, OK service. Nothing to write home about. Good casual quick lunch. I had onion rings and my friends had a salad. The croissants with butter and honey were quite good. I'm sure I'll try another Cheddar's to taste more of the menu.

    Another visit to Cheddars Scratch Kitchen for a late lunch. The host kept disappearing from the podium when I got there, like she was doing other things as well as hosting, and there are usually 2 girls working together so I don't know if they cut to 1 at happy hour or if someone didn't come in or what , but only 3 in line, 2 of them families, and it took a lot longer to speak to the host than it normally does. But I finally did and asked for a regular table not in the middle of a room, preferably in the corner. Then she asked if I wanted a high table as she headed toward the bar, and I said no A REGULAR TABLE. 3pm brought us in time for Happy Hour, so $4.99 frozen or on the rocks Margaritas?? YES PLEASE! I got a frozen which came with a salt rimmed glass, and it was so thick I could turn it upside down like a Blizzard !!! And I got a brain freeze the first time sucking it up in those tiny straws they used, so I traded for a full sized straw and that made it much easier to drink. They were moderately busy, definitely not slammed, mostly empty tables in the place. It also seemed they must have been training a few new servers and probably kitchen personnel because we kept seeing plates taken to the wrong tables, including TWICE they brought appetizers and entree's to our table that weren't ours. And when we told them the person even said, sorry, wrong table. Well duh, we told YOU THAT. Then it seemed to take FOREVER to get our own apps and entrees. I even had to remind the waitperson about 20 or so minutes in that I had ordered a cup of soup. Then she still came back a few minutes later and asked if I wanted a cup or bowl. ‍‍‍ I had already told her twice at this point. My entree was missing lemon flavor and any lemon wedges at all on a lemon pepper fish entree. I finally decided it must have actually been the blackened maybe, it was still good but lacked any lemon flavor on my fish, my green beans which are now blue lake green beans when they used to be Italian or Kentucky wonders flat green beans ... to have the taste they used to have on the old country garden style green beans was weird, they seriously need to go back to Kentucky wonders/Italian flat green beans with this flavor profile. These today would be better with some bacon, bacon grease, maybe some ham and onions and butter. The broccoli was perfectly steamed but needed a little seasoning. The croissant was great. I also had a cup of potato soup, I have not had that in a while, it's petite diced potatoes, skins on, in a creamy broth that they add some cheddar cheese and real bacon bits to. A few shakes of black pepper and it was perfect. The chicken strips were good, you could tell they were fresh and hand breaded. As were the onion rings.. super crispy, hot inside and both delicious. The spinach dip never disappoints, the queso could use a little more spice, perhaps some green chile and more diced tomatoes. It's a lot of cheese sauce. The salsa always tastes fresh made. So a misfire or two in the kitchen and slow with getting the food out, food going to wrong tables or forgotten and needing to be reminded, so service is where Cheddars faltered on this Tuesday afternoon visit. That's why only a 4 star visit today instead of 5. I will say another bright spot is how well the food maintains its heat while eating. I noticed 25 minutes in as I was finishing up my fish and side my food was still quite warm and so were the small remaining amounts of my sides. Many other places I go to my food is cold in 10 minutes and I almost want to ask them to warm it up but then I think that's what happened in the first place. Microwaved food does not hold heat longer than a few minutes, because that's how they work is they just spin the moisture molecules and they heat up but once they stop spinning the are cooling, they aren't heating from cooking. You can tell Cheddars food is all prepped for you when you order it and is grill or steam table or steamer fresh delivered to your table. I appreciate that and have not much of a problem EVER waiting for fresh food. I hope your training in the kitchen and servers eliminate the issues we had today. I will be back... I love cheddars. You can't beat the quality and amount of food you get for the price.

    Chicken Tender Platter (No. 8 Special) With 1/2 Classic and 1/2 hot honey -delish broccoli cheese casserole
    Dee Ann M.

    My son and I were traveling through staying the night at a near by hotel off IH10. There were so many places to choose from in the area but we live in Las Vegas and there is no Cheddar's. We are originally from Texas so we know that Cheddar's generally has great food. We walked in and were greeted and seated right away. We got a nice booth and our waitress came and took our order. We ordered the fried Wisconsin cheese curds for appetizers and they arrived with these buttery, sweet, flaky honey butter croissants. They were delicious. The cheese curds were delicious also. Hot and cheesy, these little bites were heavenly. Definitely not one for your waistline but so good! Both my son and I ordered the chicken tenders but I got my classic tenders with the fried shrimp and he got his tossed in hot honey sauce. They both came with ranch but I wasn't aware that we could choose our side. I love them with white gravy. I can say we don't always know the menu and this is where service comes in. Our waitress was nice and friendly and did her best to be attentive. When she couldn't because she got seated a large table shortly after we sat, someone else came to drop off our food and to go boxes. I really appreciate when the servers know to ask what kind of sauce or offer the extra and don't just assume. The tenders were good. The hot honey sauce was super good. It was far superior to the ranch so I asked for a side of that. My shrimp was good but all the batter just fell off. A few of my shrimp didn't even make it to me with the batter. At least I could see they were cooked. My loaded baked potato was good but the thick and creamy broccoli cheese casserole is something else. We both really enjoyed that side. We enjoyed our food and service for the most part.

    This is the family size corn and mashed potatoes I received

    Not a good experience using the online ordering and curbside pickup. I order a family bundle at 4pm. The order was supposed to be ready at 4:30pm. Fast forward 35 minutes later I finally received my order at 5:05 after watching other cars show up after me and get their food first. The employee delivering the orders even stopped and asked me if I was waiting for a n order. I mean what do you think I was doing waiting in my car in front of curbside #5 for the last 30 minutes? Seriously?! And after getting my order, not an apology or any way of making up the fact that I received poor service. Upon getting home I received two personal sides instead of family sized sides! Be better Cheddars!!!!

    Country Fried Chicken

    The Honey butter croissants were absolutely delicious! The garden salad was so fresh. The Country fried chicken was so good!. My server Kaylene was very kind & professional. Thank you!

    So for some reason I didn't take a snap shot of my chicken cajun pasta I had as my meal or the watermelon margarita that came with it. But luckily i got a picture of their crescent rolls with honey butter drizzle which were excellent! We went on a Sunday evening which was probably a better option for service. We got a table right away but it was one of the tall ones which kinda blows. No matter though since we were ready to order already. We tried to ask for a different table but were denied any other booths that appeared to be reserved. Noted. Chicken cajun pasta wasn't anything to write home to mom about but it was good. It was also a lot and it came with some grilled garlic bread piece which was nice. Fun atmosphere. Very sports bar with tons of flat screens and a whole bar to sit and eat as well.

I kept it classic with waffles, bacon, and eggs--and it absolutely hit the mark. The waffles were light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, the bacon was cooked just right, and everything came out fresh and satisfying. Simple comfort food done right. But what really elevated the experience was the atmosphere. They had live musical entertainment by Louie, who was incredible. He played a mix of hits from yesterday and today, moving effortlessly between country & western, contemporary favorites, and traditional Spanish songs. His versatility created a warm, lively environment that both staff and customers clearly enjoyed--it added something special you don't find everywhere. Service was just as impressive. Our server, XAY, had a bright, welcoming smile and provided outstanding service from start to finish. They offered great suggestions on local favorites and specials, which made the experience feel personal rather than routine. The vibe overall is relaxed, inviting, and very "El Paso"--a place where you can sit, enjoy your meal, and stay a while. Overall: Delicious, well-executed brunch classics Live music that enhances the experience (not overwhelms it) Exceptional, friendly service Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere Would I go back? Without a doubt. This is more than just brunch--it's an experience.

I went in for brunch, and one place that absolutely deserves a visit is The Junction Brunch House. The restaurant is set inside a literal house, which gives it a cozy, welcoming feel from the moment you walk in. The service is warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. As for the food? Ay Dios mio! Outstanding. I ordered Big T's Texas Breakfast: two eggs any style, bacon, and pancakes or French toast. I chose scrambled eggs and pancakes. The presentation was impressive, looking more like something you'd expect at a high-end hotel restaurant. The eggs were folded neatly, omelet-style, into a triangle and cooked perfectly--flavorful and fluffy. The bacon was crispy yet juicy, just right. The pancakes were a four-stack, light and fluffy with a beautiful griddle finish. They came with butter mixed with brown sugar and cinnamon, and a side of and maple syrup, which took them to another level. Junction has locally made hot sauce on the table, and fair warning as both packed some serious heat and paired perfectly with the eggs. What really stood out was the attentive service. The staff checked in regularly, made sure I had everything I needed, and seemed to refill my coffee right on cue. While brunch alone makes it worth the trip, the menu offers much more than breakfast. I'm already looking forward to going back to try their lunch options. If you're in El Paso and craving a comfortable atmosphere with excellent food and service, this is a spot you shouldn't miss.

We ordered the bone marrow appetizer, iceberg wedge, Caesar salad, and two kids meals to go. Unfortunately, nearly every aspect of our order had problems. The bone marrow was excessively salty to the point of being inedible. We tried to salvage it by scraping away the salt, but ultimately had to throw it out, I was not happy as you know bone marrow is not cheaply priced. The salsa macha accompanying it was also missing. My Caesar salad arrived with wilted lettuce literally hanging out of the container, clearly not fresh enough to serve. One kids meal had the wrong side item, no silverware was provided, and our drinks were forgotten entirely. We returned to address these issues, and while the manager was apologetic and remade our order, the replacements were still subpar. My LARGE salad was noticeably smaller than what I originally ordered, and the salsa macha, when finally provided, was very mediocre at best. I've had a lot better. I'm typically understanding when restaurants make one or two mistakes, but when an entire order is executed this poorly, it's hard to overlook. I understand they were busy, but they seriously need to execute better under those conditions. For a chophouse at this price point, the quality and attention to detail should be far better. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
