Service. We had great food and the server was one of the nicest man we had ever meet. He was very professional and courteous to our wants. Made sure our glasses were full and our food was great. I will go back and make sure o ask for him. His name is Charles W. It was 8:10pm table 104 7/26/2022 bill was 45.86. Tip was 15.00 dollars. He was one of the best servers I've seen in a long time. Please recommend this employee for his appreciation to his customers. You don't see service like this anymore. Thank you very much, what a great team player team. Thank you again Charles W. My sister has never been to a Cheddar's before. But she sure enjoyed our time here. And we will definitely be back with friends. Have a blessed day. read more

Great food! I have never been disappointed in the blackened salmon with bourbon glaze entree at any of the many Cheddars I visit, and in traveling we were just as pleased at this location. They were apparently trying to train some new employees, but the "seasoned" staff was not very attentive to help the trainees. At one point the hostess was trying to help in drink orders because the main waitress could "not be located". The restaurant was not busy yet seemed disorganized. The food we ordered was very good, so we were thankful the back of house was more positive than the front. We enjoyed the meal and were on our way in a reasonable amount of time for a sit down restaurant. read more

If you go, please reply with your experience thank you. This is my first visit to Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. I decided to treat my mother to lunch as we both have wanted to try it. Our Host and Server we're outstanding and we thanked them for their work. Here are some "Must Try!" items. Honey Butter Croissants & Wisconsin Cheese Bites with Marinara (Mini Mozz sticks). These two items are as divine as they are devilishly good. Thankfully, my mother's meal had no issues, sadly mine had a few that knocked me for a loop. I ordered the "NEW" 14 ounce Ribeye Medium Rare, side caesar, Loaded Baked Potato, and Homemade Coleslaw. Although it was delicious, here are the issues I had. The back of my Ribeye was all fat. Exactly half I had to cut away and now I'm left with a small "patty" just under the size of my palm. When I go to a steakhouse or restaurant and I see any form of "Baked Potato" on the list, I do not have to second guess what I will be getting. Out of nowhere came a little Buffet sized ice cream saucer with almost exactly 2 big tablespoons of Mashed potato, with a dab of butter and sour cream sprinkled with shredded american cheese. My heart sank. I did not know what to think at all! Finally one thought hit me; I just ordered a $17 steak, that I had to remove half of, then I only get two and a half bites out of the center of some Loaded Baked Potato that probably fed 3 people when I know if I was spending $17 I best have the Whole Loaded Baked Potato! What really sucks though, is that the food was good as was the service. Therefore I can't really complain to anyone about it. My review rating stands at 3 Stars. Despite the review, we WILL NOT be going back. read more

Just took my husband out for dinner for his birthday. 5 of us total attended. 4 out of 5 meals were cold. One was supposed to be cold. Waitress Caroline K. Seemed so spaced out. At every request it took her 15 to 20 minutes to get back to us. With 2 separate ticket, one ticket that had meal taken off and was supposed to have 25% off for the meals being cold. Took her 4 attempts to get the amount right with assistance twice by her manager. Manager did try correcting the issues. But all around the whole experience was horrible. Semi food and horrible service. Elizabethtown Cheddar's has went down hill since opening. Will not be returning to their location. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Comfort Food Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

There's nothing special about this place. Nothing seems like it was made from scratch. The food is boring and unimaginative. This place is super close to my house and I easily pass it when I'm hungry. read more

Old Faithful! No matter where, Cheddars is the epitome of a chain. Decent service, higher than expected food quality, and reasonable pricing. It is amazing how this chain has been able to control quality among several locations and cities. I am ALWAYS impressed. This visit was no different. I had nachos and the buffalo chicken wrap which was waaaay too much food but provided a nice meal the next day. I left satisfied and happy. I would recommend Cheddars to anyone looking for a cheaper night out without sacrificing food quality. read more

Sun 6pm, not crowded at all and not surprised. The restaurant and restrooms were very dirty, the service was extremely slow and clumsy and the food was cold. No employee moved with purpose. Very poor experience. read more

We had a big group and got us in and set us up nice for lunch. Ashley was great. Good with a table of 6 teenage boys. Proactive drink refills. Good variety on menu. Salads, some pasta, burgers, sandwiches. Step up from bar food. My Monte Cristo had tons of turkey and ham and was very good. Nice spot for lunch. My sandwich was 9.99. Pretty good value. read more

Welp Yelp. 35 minute wait at 12:48 on a Thursday afternoon. I would have waited but I had my 3 kids.... maybe next time. 4 stars based on my previous visit. Good to see things back open and roaring with business again. read more

Went here for dinner. It was around 4 on Saturday night so our wait time wasn't bad. Our waitress did take a little longer helping us. But the food made it totally worth it. I got the mushroom chicken meal. With broccoli casserole and Mac and cheese. I loved everything except the Mac and cheese it just didn't taste right. I also got the spinach dip appetizer and it was AMAZING! The strawberry lemonade is also a favorite!!! The hubs got the spicy chicken wraps and those were also sooo good. Overall this place is a must try. Only reason I gave it a 4 star is because of the service. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Some appetizers - Comfort Food Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

The wait to be seated was about 10 minutes, however it took another 40 minutes to get our silverware. Luckily the appetizers were finger foods however they didn't taste very good. The cheese on the cheese fries wasn't even melted. I also got a side salad and had it sitting in front of me for 20 minutes and couldn't eat it, because again we still had no silverware. Finally got our silverware when they brought our main entrées so my Alfredo sat there getting cold so I could finally eat my salad. Once I did get to the Alfredo it had no taste at all. read more

First and last time there. Wife ordered the chicken fried steak dinner and I had the rib and chicken tender meal. After the wives first bite she found a long black hair in the chicken. When the waiter, Josh, came back she told and showed him the hair. He apologized and took the meal off the bill. No one else showed up as in the manager or supervisor. Nothing was comped and no other action was taken. So no meal for the wife, they did offer for her to order another meal but mine was there and being eaten so by the time her new food came I would be done eating. Now my meal. The chicken tenders were good but the ribs were average to below average. They seemed steamed or boiled then grill for a short time to heat them up. I left 4 out of the 6 ribs there. When I don't take the food home it is not very good at all. The server Josh was very competent and nice but that did not make up for the bad food and lack of caring from the manager. Never going back again. read more

Potato soup salty. Didn't get bread. Fries tasted old and over done. Carrots cold. No onion rings

Friendly, fast service even at the late hours before closing. Food is delicious and different from the other restaurants in town. However they need more lighting in a few seats, I have changed seats a couple of times due to little or no lighting at all. So request a good light seat in the evenings. read more

We just had a fantastic meal and evening. The croissant were hot, buttery, sweet and flaky, amazing. The ribs fell off the bones they were so tender. Our servers Eric was a breath of fresh air, friendly, attentive, and an excellent server. Our first visit to Cheddar's and will seek them out again. read more

We were pretty surprised the first time we visited a cheddars. The food isn't bad and the price is good. The restaurant is clean and the staff is nice. But the last time I came it bothered my stomach. Out of the chain restraints in town it's one of the better ones but I won't go all the time. read more

Mediocre at best. Took forever to get served, no rolls offered, they notified us after they brought our food that they were out of baked sweet potatoes, broccoli and carrots were over steamed and mushy, black beans were undercooked.. The positive The salmon was very good... read more

Currently writing this glad I wore my leggings to dinner! I ordered a Bud Light and paired it with a Bacon Cheeseburger. Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and a Honey Mayo come on the side. I loaded up the burger (sans tomato as I usually do) and ate every friggin bite! I couldn't even eat all my fries I was so full! Cheddar's is one of those places that you will get so much food with everything you order. You will not have to worry about leaving hungry at all! It's your all American restaurant. Seriously do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

Went to pick up call in, waited 40 minutes, two different people came out to check my name, had to call twice to get food, food was cold, worse place ever for carry out!!! read more

I really had a good time at this restaurant. I have friends at Fort Knox who talk about this place all the time, and eventually my curiosity led me to ask them to have us come here for dinner one night. This restaurant is nothing unique; I'm pretty sure that there are hundreds of places just like this across the country, but I appreciate the fact that an experience like this is available in E-town. It's your typical American food and a bar, plus one of my friends claims to meet girls here, so I guess it's overall an interesting place. I first ordered a triple treat sampler as an appetizer, and it came with beef, bean, and cheese nachos plus crispy chicken tenders and mozzarella cheese sticks. Those nachos were actually quite spicy with the jalapenos, and I couldn't finish the whole thing because of how spicy they were. The main dish arrived quickly anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. The entree was a half rack of hickory-smoked baby back ribs with shrimp. The dish also came with some carrots and fried rice for some reason, even though they were not mentioned in the item description. Anyway, the dish was a treat for someone who had not tasted food quite like it in a while. I also had my friend get me a drink called the Long Island Iced Tea, and it was all right. I'm not too a big fan of alcoholic beverages, but this one wasn't too bad. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot on the restaurant as a whole to complain about. The guy serving us seemed friendly and got the job done. This location is probably worth visiting more than once. read more

Let me start by saying our waiter at this restaurant was very pleasant. Now the food of this restaurant gave me a stomach ache for two days! I ordered a burger simple no cheese. Why because who can go wrong with a burger right? Well it went horrible/ the burger was cold and greasy it had no flavor it tasted like it was just seating there like for 30 minutes reheated with a microwave the the tomato was not fresh all saggy. fries cold it doesn't come with the fries i had to do a separate order for fries.They were cold too. My daughter order from the kids menu the pene pasta with Alfredo sauce what a disaster cold cold cold/ and it was a soup of pasta. She couldn't eat it. My husband ordered the salmon with rice the rice was cold. I talked to the waiter he was very polite he talked to the manager the manager came and talk to us he asked us if we wanted the food re done / no thank you. they didn't offered us military discount or any discount for such an horrible food. Never never will come back. Since I moved to Ft. Knox there is not one decent restaurant in this place. read more

Food isn't bad, but it wasn't all good . I understand COVID-19 could also be a part culprit, but I had ribs for my order and it was dry and did not fall off the bone. I was hoping at least one did, but it was just all the same. Whoever my waitress was, tied up hair and with highlights? Seemed liked she didn't even want to serve us, her reaction was pretty forced "sure thing" "oh sure thing" checked on us once ? It wasn't even busy on her section. Again, I get it, COVID-19. read more

Be prepared to spend all night dining out..... We arrived at 4:45 with a party of 3 and the restaurant wasn't even half full. Took a long time to be waited on to even order our drinks, that should have been our first clue and we should have left. When we finally received our food it was good. However the good food was ruined by the horrible service and the sound of a blaring television and our waitress telling everyone who would listen all of her drama.... When I eat out after a long day of work I prefer not to waste my entire night waiting for service and listening to blaring televisions and the latest drama. We did not leave this loud disaster of a dinner until 6:15 due to the strung out process of waiting for drinks, food, and our check. Stay away before you waste your entire night and $30+. read more

We love Cheddar's and seek them out when we travel. We did not have a good experience tonight at the Elizabethtown Cheddar's. Our ribs were tough and extremely difficult to cut. We were unable to finish them. The carrots came out shriveled up, so we returned them. In their place we asked for a potato which was hard. We waited on a second plate to be able to share our meal. We both ordered water and only received one. When we asked again for another water, the bartender had to wash a glass to get us one. The Painkiller, which is my favorite drink, was bitter. It's the first time I've been to Cheddar's without ordering two. Employees who were off the clock stood around visiting. An employee stood behind the bar where we were seated and ate her dinner. We asked to talk to the manager before we left, and he left us waiting for some time. All he offered was an "I'm sorry." It's a very poorly run establishment. read more

First of all when we were seated the hostess didn't provide us silverware. I had to go and get silverwear for my party at 4. I did notice that the next 12 groups all were given silverware. Next, we were the first people seated in our area, and make our own order, and we were the last group to get our food. I don't mean by a few minutes, some groups had paid their bill, and leaving the restaurant type waiting. Our plates for very hot, all food was not. In addition to all of that, we had to have a discussion with our waitress about not wanting rice. It has been almost 2 years since I tried this place, and the level of service has not improved at all . We live in a small community without a host of other choices. I guess limited resources also means limited effort to some people. The same people working at multiple locations in the area, provide no value to the service industry. read more

Love it!!! Always great food and very nice staff. Prices are also responsible. You get your bang for the buck!!

This is one of my go-to places in etown. Their food is consistently good and I have always had great service. I even went to the trouble of emailing their corporate headquarters to let them know what a great branch they had. read more

Normally a good restaurant, but I don't think we will return until after it opens back up. 1) Food was way late (more than 30min past quoted pick up time) 2) missing several items 3) burger dried out and mashed potatoes cold (not liked cooled off a bit on the 5 min drive home, but seriously cold). Called about the issues, was told I could wait a long time to speak to a manager because of the 4 people in restaurant both were in the kitchen. Left my name and number, no call back. read more

I didn't realize cheddars changed their chicken, until I went in the other day. It use to be homemade and now it's the frozen chicken. Disappointed, in how the food is suppose to made from scratch, yet most isn't anymore. On the plus side, our server Star was amazing. She was really sweet and attentive, even though she was double sat. read more

The food here is ALWAYS so good! Make sure to order an extra side of the croissants! We came on a Friday night, so I expected it to be busy and have a long wait time. I was surprised that we were called back so quickly! The waiting area could use some work, as it's crowded and difficult to get through. On this particular visit, the waitress took FOR. EV. ER. to come greet us at the table. By the time she arrived, we were ready to order drinks, appetizers, and dinner. After that though, she was super attentive and checked on us pretty frequently. The onion rings seem to fall apart, but they're delicious nonetheless. I had Baked Spasagna. It's my favorite! There was a TON of meat sauce on top, so I just pushed it off to the side. My spiked strawberry lemonade was great. I didn't taste much alcohol though. That could be a very good or a very bad thing! read more

We enjoy driving to this restaurant, which is only about a 25 minute drive! The atmosphere is the style we enjoy, like a small local pub! When the weather permits we love the outdoor setting! Angie makes feel at home right away! read more

Another try and another disappointing meal. It's sad because the service is really good but the lack of good cooking really makes it a bad experience. Under cooked croissants over cooked hamburger and tasteless fries. I asked for medium rare and I got well done and they didn't let it rest so the bottom bun was all grease. I don't understand how they screw up a burger. read more

When we walked in the male host who looked 20 and behaved rudely asked how many people and when we responded he exerted a sigh of derision. Made the entrance to the restaurant very unwelcoming. We are from Washington DC visiting Ft Knox. This restaurant was recommended to us by previous visitors. This was my first time ever in a Cheddars. The visit was less than inviting. When we were seated the host attempted to cram our party into a booth that was suppose to accommodate 4-5 ppl. We had 6ppl in our party and we looked at the host and requested the larger table next to it the host signed very loudly and began to say now only to be met by 6 gazes of shock to his behavior The dinner continued with watered down alcoholic beverages and cold appetizers & food entrees and 1 wrong order at the late part of the evening. Even after the manager came to the table providing charm and was very sweet. It doesn't make up for how we were greeted or how poor the quality of the food was. I've served food before as a waiter and I've always been about the customer experience. I can say there was a full moon out today because the service seemed to not be what anyone would have expected. I hope they can fix it but I won't be recommending or returning the chain. Vr JLP read more

The food is always good here. I had the chicken Alfredo, which I love. The portion size is so much that you can take it home and have a great lunch the next day. Also had the spinach dip which is awesome. The service could be better but all in all it's usually always a good night out when we go to Cheddars. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Chicken Alfredo - Comfort Food Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

Take out order$50+. Ribs, pot pie, burger and fries and 2 salads. No napkins or even a fork.

Walked in to a 45 minute seating time and there are over 20 tables open. As for the waitstaff there are an abundance of them.

This was the worse service I have ever had at a Cheddar's. Staff took breaks in the restaurant eating where we were sitting leaving dishes on the tables. I asked for a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and they brought me a chilled glass of Rosa. When I asked for red wine, they said it wasn't chilled and not sweet. Worse dinner experience ever. read more
