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

Cheddars is usually a slam dunk, but this time the service left much to be desired. Myself and two friends were seated at our table and received drinks and water fairly quickly. That's when the service went down hill. After the water it was at least 15 minutes before we saw our server again. We had to ask the hostess to put in our appetizer order. Our server, who was wrapping up a ten top right next to us, walked passed us and took the order of a table seated after us. They're food obviously came out first. Without checking on us after our food did arrive, we received our checks without even being asked about coffee or dessert. Did I mention that our server didn't even bring our food or our processed checks? Sorry Cheddars, you blew it this time. read more

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.

Cheddars is amazing. Food is great, big portion for good prices.We always leave with left overs. Staff is friendly. The only thing I find is a pain in the a** is that you have to wait to get a table and it is very noisy in there. Don't go there Sunday at noon,its so packed and you will get a head ache from the noise. However the food is the bomb. read more

Very poor and slow service. Food arrived both cold and also not as ordered. Steaks were seasoned to the point that even a1 wouldn't cover the taste. Cramped booths and overcrowded tables paired with high costs for small amounts of poorly seasoned over peppered food led me to download yelp just to review. Wouldn't recommend this location to anyone. read more

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

I've ate here many times and the food is consistently good, and you always leave full and with your monies worth. I think this is one of the few casual dinning restaurants that I'm always guaranteed to have leftovers. The restaurant is always clean and I've never not had good service here. The best part about this particular Cheddar's is the fact that it's one of the few restaurants in Elizabethtown with a patio for outdoor dinning. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Cheese fries and drinks on the patio. - Comfort Food Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

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

From the hostess stand to the servers this is by far the most rude customer service restaurant in Elizabethton, Kentucky. Good food doesn't make up for terrible service and attitude...I had to give it one star but it should be minus one star review read more

NOT THE QUALITY IF OLD, DO NOT EAT THIS NASTY FOOD !!!! I used to eat here a lot a few years back. The food and service my family received recently - horrible! I ordered the fried shrimp and chicken strip combo (typically, a fried fish and shrimp combo is offered but not at Cheddar's) with fries and broccoli casserole. My fries were burnt, I mean crazy brown and my broccoli salad tasted mushy, over done. My daughter ordered a lunch combo chicken quesadillas, salad, with an order of salmon to top her salad. Her salmon came on a bed of rice so I am sure I was over charged for that. My daughter's quesadillas were mushy and her salad had a foul taste with brown edges, not fresh. It had an old bag taste. The food they served us at approx 4PM that day should have NEVER left their kitchen. It was not crowded so I'm unsure why their was such a lack of attention to detail on our food?!!!! To this store's management (May) don't interact with a dissatisfied customer, with an attitude of concern, like your intent is to address the issue fairly via refund or gift card etc. and do nothing! The manager (May) promises to turn this complaint in to "corporate" to approve our refund or gift card but no one gets back to you for your money wasted. I ABSOLUTELY WASTED $27 plus dollars. We still ended up hungry and cooked that evening. My family and I will never eat at Cheddar's again!!! read more

The place could use some cleanup and some staff friendliness training. read more

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

Usually cheddar s is 5 stars, you can't beat the food for the price. The service in etown is lacking though unless you seat in the bar area...sometimes. read more

The chicken Alfredo was watered down and runny. The salad had wayyyy to much dressing on it for me to enjoy it. Over all everything was bland including the chips and queso. The server was good read more

Cheddars "scratch" restaurant deserved name as I scratch them off the list of Etown restaurants that I go back to. The other night looking for food entered he restaurant and promptly seated...they were slow...walked past 2 servers to get to the table. Then waited and waited and waited some more. Clearly management at this establishment must think they're the only show in town. Aldo clearly...wrong! read more

I was introduced to Cheddar's restaurant by a close friend of mine earlier this year. I had never heard of Cheddar's but found it to be pretty good. Last week, my husband and I took the kids out for dinner to Cheddar's and they loved it. The menu has something for everyone. I have yet to order anything I didn't like. Although I can't remember what my children or husband ate, I must tell you that I ordered a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad w/ their crossisant rolls (w/ honey butter) and OMG, it's delish! The grilled chicken caesar pasta salad is heavily drenched in caesar dressing so I would strongly recommend eating the salad in its entirety or sharing it. I would also recommend asking for the dressing on the side or either request that they go lite on the dressing. The penne pasta is a bit bland, but it's certainly okay because the grilled taste of the chicken makes that dish pop. You know you can always try it for yourself. I believe that salad may come with salmon and/or shrimp as well. Until next time, happy eating! read more

Where do I begin?! The waiter that we had seemed to be in a rush the ENTIRE night so the service was terrible. He was very unprofessional, not personable, could never remember who ordered what (it was just 3 of us), and he would throw things onto the table in a hurry to run off somewhere else. The food came out cold and my chicken breasts were slightly uncooked. The waiter was very willing to send things back to the kitchen so he'd grab the plate and hurry along in a rush. I will not be returning as I was highly disappointed in this place. read more

Cheddars needs a major overhaul! We went there last night and it was not a good experience. First, we walk in around 6:30 and I notice the hostess seems stressed but I assume it's getting busy and she's swamped. No worries. We get a table, there's 4 of us and we wait about five minutes before the server comes over, announces she's training someone and she'll be right back to take our drink orders. 9 minutes later she brings partner, takes drink order and cards me for my drink order but gets offended when I'm happy about it. I say I love it because it never happens anymore and she got a little defensive. But oh well no worries. Fountain drinks take about 20 minutes. My bar drink took a bit longer. We finally get drinks and then finally they're ready to take our food order. The lead server (the one training a partner) treats my daughter as if she can't hear her order and my daughter had to repeat herself a few times with the lady just staring at her. When waiting on kids you do have to lean in to hear them better but being unfriendly to my kids did not win points with me. Anyway... food comes . My tilapia with shrimp was extra salty and sat under the heat lamp too long but we were hungry so I didn't complain. So dinner was "meh". We placed an order for the cookie dessert on the tablet. Once again it upset our lead server for some reason but she came by to tell us it would take 13 to 18 minutes. Ok no worries. It took 30 minutes. Also we asked for no nuts, no whip, no cherry. It came with all of that anyway. Thank God we're not allergic!!!! While we were waiting for this dessert I observed another table complain to our lead server that their drinks were taking too long. Here's what really ticked me off... that lead server was also the one serving us and we know she was training someone. She totally threw her trainee under the bus and told that table it was the new girls fault! I think if you're training you're responsible since you're more experienced so lady take responsibility for Pete's sake and don't throw that poor girl under the bus like that! Another thing, my husband asked if they gave a military discount. Our server (same rude lady) told us to visit the Cheddars website and apply for rebates. Ok we live in a heavily populated area with lots of military families- honor your service men and women. Don't tell us to go to the website and apply for a stupid coupon. I mean seriously? Cant you do better???? So all in all not the best Cheddars experience. Even my 10 year old commented on the bad service. read more

I frequented Cheddars a few times during my stay in Kentucky, and it was always a pleasant experience. I have had the Monte Cristo sandwich, some chipotle wrap item that was quite delicious, and of course their Chicken and Waffles. I always have to request an extra side of syrup but it has been remarkable every time. The staff was nice, talkative and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. The waitresses spoke to my party for awhile and it was nice receiving the high quality kind of service that we did. I'd go back there in a heartbeat. read more

Ate here with sister and brother in laws when we stopped in to visit. Cheese sticks for starter: nothing special. Had burger- guess it was good since I ate it all. Service standard. Nothing special. read more

We decided to stop in for my friend's birthday dinner. Even though I suggested otherwise. I have not had terrible service like this in years. Our waitress had no clue about the menu, could care less to find out and was overall unwelcoming. We ordered appetizers that had to be sent back. And food that was beyond subpar. The ribs were fatty as I don't know what with little to no meat. The New Orleans pasta came with shrimp chicken parts and Tangled sausage. It's evident that that kitchen staff could care less about Precision or what their product look like when it came out. They do not give out free rolls or croissants but you have to pay for it, those croissants drizzled in unmelted butter where The Only Thing Worth eating at this evening. If I could give this place 0 Stars I would! read more

Ate here for my first time. During the romaine lettuce recall they served us "leafy" greens and said they weren't romaine. When I asked they said it wasn't but sorry it was. Won't come back to bad the food before it wasn't bad. read more

I just brought a Rib and Chicken Tender combination and it was the cold and burnt ribs and the server say the kitchen has changed I'm still waiting on the change I won't be back for a while read more

Excellent service and food. We are there about 3 times a month because of the service and food. Highly recommend Cheddar's to anyone and everyone. read more

Our oldest grandson was born with severe food allergies (Diary, Eggs, Tree Nuts, Strawberries, Shell Fish) to name the more severe. Due to this, his mother prepared all his food with diligence, and the thoughts of eating at a restaurant weren't ever an option due to possible cross contamination of the foods or use of milk, eggs, etc. during the preparation. Over the past 14 years, thanks to God's healing touch and wisdom from the Allergies Specialist in Cincinnati, OH., he now is able to enjoy most foods with the exception of tree nuts. Yesterday, we celebrated an early 14th birthday meal at the Elizabethtown Cheddars. The manager Mae and server Jessie went above and beyond to assure there was no cross contamination with any tree nuts in the food preparation. My grandson enjoyed a trio appetizer, an amazing steak and shrimp meal and those melt in your mouth croissants! The attention to our comfort and needs far exceeded any of our expectations and we left feeling like royalty!!! Thank you again to Mae and Jessie for exceptional attention to detail and going beyond to assure the comfort of your guests!! You both deserve an award for your commitment and service!!! Be blessed as you have blessed us!!! read more

My grandson wanted to celebrate his birthday there and first we had to wait an hour to come in . Not because of covid. The whole back of restaurant was empty. After dinner we had to wait an hour to pay for our dinner. Wow. Also they don't acknowledge military personnel. We had a party of 12 and we all traveled to get there. Very disappointed! The cooks did a great job the food was great! read more

This is a very nice restaurant good food thier spinach dip is,so delicious I can say I was very disappointed in the service though I orderd a drink from the bar and thier was a fly in it the glass was dirty and it took forever for them to get it to me the first time but the second time was a little quicker but the second drink was delicious no problems.. read more

This is the worst place to eat ever, the food was undercooked took over a hour waitress was inexperienced I could go on and on walked out didn't pay I just warning you. read more

Come as one, get served none.... Had been craving a burger from here for years. Walked in to the casual area, waiting almost 15 minutes just for someone to make eye contact, or atleast tried too. Finally just asserted myself and greeted a waitress. Apprehensive of taking my table, she bought me a dirty menu, and by the time i got my drink, I was ready to order. Food took a long time for an app. Saw other people, who came after, get served before me. I didn't even know who my waiter was til the check came lol. Of course. One person took my order and brought my app, one brought the burger, a poorly prepared, overcooked slop on a bun. Never was checked in on, not once til the food was gone. Ketchup and fixins would have been nice instead of making my own out my app leftovers. In short service was slacking to the point I almost did not want to tip. Hope a manager reads this and tells these guys to get it together and quit smoking so much reefer. I get better service MCDs. read more

I had the Key West Shrimp & Chicken. While it was amazing, my friends steak was tiny and not cooked how he liked it, he also ordered fries and received Mac n Cheese instead. We would have sent it back but we were on our way to a concert. The waiter was nice at first, but as began to see how unhappy my friend was, he began to slip and seem to care less about our happiness as a customer. He never brought my friend his sweet tea, or coke, and was just an overall terrible experience at the end. Hopefully our concert will not follow this trend. read more

This Cheddars trys to Rob you ive have been screwed up on my credit card twice by these people first time all i got was an appetizer and a water and my ticket came to less than $10 and apparently my waiter didnt think i left enough of a tip so i got charged for a extra $20 dollar tip! Second time which happened last night my wife paid with her card the bill came to $37 dollars and change and we was there with another couple. we ended up getting charged for our bill plus the other couples bill and we asked them and they were charged for there bill so there bill go charged twice. Im never eating here again! read more

I've never really been impressed by cheddars. It's good for what it is and it's always super crowded so they must be doing something right. It's not a place that I would personally go to often. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ read more

Tried to call tonight (a Wednesday) around 8:00 pm to place an order for pick-up as my wife had her heart set on a Monte Cristo sandwich (those things are delicious). I was immediately put on hold and stayed there listing to the worst easy listening music I've ever experienced for a full 20 minutes before hanging up and calling back to speak to a manager. I was told neither of the managers on duty were available to speak to me. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but I cannot believe that for 20 minutes no one had the minute and a half to spare to take my order. The quality of service at this location has steadily declined since they first opened which is sad because the food really is pretty good. edit: My wife drove by Cheddar's on her way to pick up food from another restaurant. The parking lot was nearly empty. read more

Place is excellent for the prices and the food. The service is mostly top notch. I rarely have a problem there, and when I do it's because they are over crowded. I think people like it there. read more

Great food and friendly service. The main issue I found that the restaurant could work on was cleanliness. Upon going into the women's bathroom, I was hit with a very distinct sewer smell. I went into the only open stall that wasn't in use and had to walk around multiple pieces of toilet paper on the ground and hair (?). When I went to wash my hands, both soap dispensers were out and I opted to use hand sanitizer as it was my only choice. Other than the sub-par bathroom, I really enjoyed eating here and I will be coming back! read more

I went here today and had lovely service. The food tasted great I love their sirloin but they have pretty big proportions. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, can never finish a whole meal :c but other than that it's great! read more

The atmosphere feels very high class and the bathroom was clean. The giant cookie was delicious. I was also very impressed with how often the waiter (who's name I can't remember) was fantastic. He was personable, friendly, and kept up on water refills so well my glass was never empty. read more

Poor service. The queso was stone cold when it came out. Ordered the jalapeno burger. It was alright except for the eight inch black hair on my plate underneath my fries. Had to ask the waitress to fix the bill twice. We will never eat here again. read more

I haven't been to this location in a few years but it's not what I remember it to be. The food was basically the same but the service was horrid. I can't tell you the name of my waitress because she never introduced herself. Pretty much felt like we were getting the cold shoulder. We sat in the bar area after the lunch rush. There were about 4-5 employees socializing so that'd be my guess why the service was crap. I felt like an ass because I talked the restaurant up and it sucked. read more

I absolutely love Cheddars! I've quite q bit of their appetizers and entrees. The best side they have that I get every time is their broccoli casserole. Everything they make is from scratch. I got The ribeye last week, it was delicious and huge, I took the rest home to my dog. I also recommend the lemon pepper chicken as it's delicious, a lot of food for the money. I have no complaints. It's my go to restaurant in Elizabethtown. read more

Poorly disappointed when my family and I went there on Friday. They wrote the wrong name down (how he got Mitchell from Michelle is beyond me). The waitress was ok, but the food took forever. My husband and son had the onion ring app, and then he ordered the chicken fried steak. It came out as the country fried steak. He reordered the tilapia and mango salsa and knce again was poorly disappointed. My son ordered the Spagana (sp) and it was AWFUL. The sauce was sweet, like sugar had been poured in it and the cheese was barely melted and congealed. I had the salmon and broccoli, but there were so many stalks in the broccoli it was like chewing wood. When asked if we can have my sons food removed from the bill, the manager didn't even offer to replace the food or offer any apologizes for the nasty food. It's hit or miss when you come here. Just be prepared read more

Food was bland an unexciting. Service was good.
