3/5 meals correct.... Like so many restaurants this place along with others needs someone to spot check to go orders. I ordered 5 meals straight off the menu, only ask was one salad not have tomatoes. Salmon Caesar came out as a garden salad with salmon on it. Grilled chicken pecan salad had no pecans or dressing. Gal at the Register was nice enough to go get some pecans but I wasn't about to wait to have them remake the salmon Caesar. It's just disappointing. read more

Was quickly greeted by my server who brought me water and a warm croissant with honey drizzled on it. Better than the regular bread you get at a lot of places. Just get the onion rings to start...it'll ruin most other onion rings for you and you have to wait a minute for them but they are just amazing. I got the blackened salmon and shrimp and it was killer. Shrimp were tasty and salmon was cooked perfectly - mid-rare - without me even giving them special instructions. My server was on her game for sure. It wasn't busy tonight so IDK how they do when they're slammed but they did me right. The reason I couldn't give the fifth star is that their floor in the dining area was nasty! Food and scraps and paper all over the place. They were in need of some real-time clean up tonight! read more

Please scrap the fries.... If you cant do them right ... don't do em at all.... Rubbery and bland in your to go orders. Offer a salad??? Fruit?? read more

Was really disappointed last night stopping in here for a late dinner. Long day and was wanting something fairly light. When I walked in (of course it's 9 pm) no one was at the welcome desk. I checked and they are open till 10 pm. I didn't wait long but still worth mentioning. I was taken to a booth in the bar area as I just wanted to relax, watch the baseball game, grab a quick bit and then head to hotel. (Note: the area was also not the cleanest. I nearly walked out). Waited nearly 5 min to be acknowledged and get a drink order. Just wanted water. I asked the server for lite options and she was quick to point out the lighter section of the menu. She also suggested specially drinks and appetizers. (Didn't I say I wanted something lite). I selected a pick 2 lunch deal with a half wrap and soup. She offers to bring soup out first so I took it. The next few interactions were awkward. When she brought out the soup it was spilling over the bowl and on a server tray that was less than clean by any standards. She places the bowl in front of me and looks at me and asked me if it looks OK, looking straight at me for a response. She turned around to take care of the table behind me, came back after I took a sip of my soup and then looked at me and asked me if it tasted OK, again looking straight at me for a response. I sort of felt like I was being put on the spot for some reason. She then brought out my buffalo wrap, which came out quickly. And she did the same thing again. Sat it down and asked me if it looked OK, staring at me for a response. I just said yes, because at this point I just Ed to be left alone. She came back quickly after I took a bite and also ask how does it taste, and stood there and waited for a response. The whole interaction with my waitress just seemed very strange and uncomfortable for me, and I'm a very out going person. The food was decent therefore the 2 star rating. Presentation of food could have been better. This is the 3rd in the past few weeks where I ate a late dinner and had poor service. My thoughts are when the establishment is open for business, the same service should exist when they first open till they close for the night. I also seen service come out and grab a few bites of food from a table then take off back to work. Why can't these employees have a set time to take a real break and eat instead of eating on the run with other patrons. I just feel this is treating your employees well. Anyway, off my soap box. I would still go back to Cheddars, but with caution and will not be late and will be watching for some improvements. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Sloppy spilled soup - Comfort Food Near Me - Findlay, Ohio

See all

Findlay Ohio location. I ordered a 12oz steak that came out to me with about 4 oz of meat and 8 oz of pure fat. I calmly waited for the server to return. I asked for a different steak due to the poor quality. She snapped and said "what do u want me to do about it, call corporate"?. I explained why I wanted to return my steak and she huffed and walked away. She came back and i asked to speak to the manager. Manager came out and asked if there was a problem. his response was we don't even offer 12 oz steak even though it was clearly on the menu. I looked at him in shock and he said since u complained you can just leave. After his display of hostility, my group of 4 promptly walked out. I eat steak at least 4 nights a week. read more

We had a nice lunch here on Sunday. We drove up to Findlay and met my wife's Mother and her Husband. Our Brother and Sister in Law (Bruce & Brenda) also made the drive. I called Cheddar's last week to try and make a reservation, but the woman I talked to said they did not take them. The Yelp page says they do take reservations, so that did not help. I told her we were going to be a party of 6 and we would like to meet up there at 1:00pm. She responded saying that would not be a problem. When we arrived, the place was packed. We were told the wait time would be 20-30 minutes. After close to 20 minutes, were were seated. Our waitress was great. She was prompt, she checked on us multiple times and made sure we had a pleasant experience. The food here is good, but not great. I ordered the 8oz Steak, my wife went with a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Her Mom ordered the grilled Salmon and her Husband asked for the Tilapia. Bruce & Brenda each ordered a burger. The Steak was chewy, but cooked to medium rare. The Wrap was good and I heard no complaints from anyone else. We did not order a Dessert. The 4 stars are because of the waitress! read more

Went last night with family. Our waitress was good at first but then declined after . Salads came out out cold and so did my cheddar bites. Then the main course came and had to send back steak because a well done steak came out as red as it was when it go slotered. Time to come and pay . Waitress helped her self to adding a. 20 % tip to the bill when she was helping us with the kiosks. Used two gift cards and if I was t paying attention she would have gotten away with a lot more tip for ameture service. Please pay attention to ur kiosk receipts if they help you read more

First time visit for my wife and I - not a good experience. Ordered an appetizer, it was never received. The waitress acted like she was doing me a favor to remove it from our bill..should I pay for something I did not receive? One of my wifes sides was broccoli, which was not received with her meal, we were told it was "on the way"...again, it was never received. I asked our waitress to remove it from our bill, but she told us the entree was still full price no matter if you requested any sides or not. Our waitress was clearly annoyed with us, even though we did nothing wrong, I was polite through all of this, never raised my voice or got nasty, etc. On a positive note, the food we did receive was good. Would we go back to a Cheddars? Im not sure, but certainly not the one in Findlay Ohio read more

Absolutely the rudest bartender I have ever seen in my life tonight. She was pissed about something as soon as I walked in, she huffed and tossed the menu on the bar. If you don't want to work, or your life is that miserable, don't work in the service industry. It is unreal what management will apparently allow their employees to get away with. Absolutely pathetic! read more

I love this place. I come here every time I visit Ohio. It's a chill atmosphere and the food is simple but it's good! The staff is friendly and the service is fast. My first visit was about 10 years ago, and it's still a staple when visiting Ohio. read more

I won't ever return. Took quite a while to be greeted and seated, the waitress took a long time to take our drink order, we ended up placing meal order at same time, the Buffalo chicken wrap is disgusting, barely warm, cheese not melted, it said it comes on a flour tortilla, not sure why the tortilla was orange, husband had the pot pie, flavor was okay, but super runny, chicken tenders were tough, fries were barely warm. What a disappointing lunch. read more

Horrible restaurant, I arrived for my online order and was told she was the only employee working the pickup and it would be a few minutes. 15 minutes later I called and told them just to cancel my cold order. And Carlos rudely interrupted me 2 times and then hung up on me. I will never eat here again, be aware of their awesome customer service! read more

Some days it's good some days not , depending on who you get as a server tbh and they should do unlimited croissants instead of just 2 for 2 ppl since they are a cheap version of Olive Garden read more

Homemade food. Excellent service. Could you ask for anything better. I travel to Findlay for work and I must say this is the best restaurant in town! read more

We normally have a great experience here but today was not one of those days. We were sat in the very back (only one other group back there) and waited 15 minutes. No waiter ever came. Other areas were being waited on normally. I believe we were forgotten. Finally gave up and left. read more

Always good food, the prices are excellent for the portions and taste. The service is always okay, not great but not bad. For the pricing and the comfortable atmosphere I can take slightly less than great service. Overall it's a great low cost good food stop. We like it a lot. read more

The Chicken Tenders on my last visit on a Wednesday afternoon was to die for, and I am no kidding; at Cheddar's in Findlay, Ohio. read more

The food this evening was decent. The Dijon chicken was well prepared and moist. The sirloin steak was overdone from what was requested. Requested medium rare and it was closer to medium/medium-well. The salads we ordered, House and Caesar, were both well put together. Some of the concerns was overall quality of cleanliness. We witnessed a waitress carrying recently washed glasses back to the bar with them leaning on her body. Her shirt was clearly dirty and her top unbuttoned so some of the glasses were on her skin. The top was held by her chin which I am sure was dirty with sweat. Another issue at the bar was they were pouring drinks and making jokes as to how they were using extra ice to fix drinks they accidentally made medium when the customer ordered large. The manager even made a joke about using extra ice to increase the size. Our waitress was having a rough night. She had some patrons she must have known well who as she greeted us untied her apron. This startled her and she said a few choice words. Not horrible yet unprofessional. The she dropped her tray of drinks everywhere. She was very kind yet was defiantly having an off night. The issue with the spillage of drinks was no one rushed over the help her. The rest of the staff just kinda left her standing there with a puddle of drinks at her feet. Overall a struggle tonight and only hope others have a better experience. read more

Hostess went to seat us and the seat was wet from the cleaning. Asked if I could get a napkin to wipe it off and she said it's fine she doesn't have anything and I said a napkin is fine. She then goes I would have to go find one and by the time I'm back it will be dry so you're fine and walks away. Food took a long time for being late and not many people in restaurant. I live local and forgot why we don't go there often and it will be another long while before we do. read more

The food here is always good! The service not so much. I went there with my family and waited 15 minutes to have our drink order taken. It was not busy at the time either. The whole experience was slow. I will go back because the food is always fantastic. I know it was probably just 1 bad experience. read more

it not what it used to be. chicken strips were half breading. and a spoon full of mashed potatoes and gravy, same with green beans. the croissant were great. read more

I've always wanted to try cheddars, ever since I worked at this body shop in Colorado. There was one right next door, I always wondered how it was. Well today we ate at this one in Findlay. I met an old friend here it's halfway between us. Anyway let me say the first thing that through me off was how dirty the four was EVERYWHERE! The service was terrible, the food was Blah-zay at best, it was cheap I'll give em that. And the chicken tenders were pretty good. But it's a one and done for us! If the front of the house is that ill kept......... read more

The only reason I'm giving this three stars instead of one is due to our waiter and the food being delicious. We came in at 6 on a Saturday knowing we were going to wait. They didn't take reservations, and we had a party of nine so we were fine waiting. They told us it would be 1.5 hours, but we were finally seated 2 hours and 15 minutes later. They kept making excuses. We watched group after group getting seated before us. They never once asked if they could get us anything while we waited. We finally were seated and our waiter was very attentive and quick! The food was delicious, fresh, and came with large portions. I will say, the macaroni and cheese was sub-par, though. I feel they either need to be taking reservations, or sticking with their wait times. Be sure to make plenty of time if you're visiting this restaurant as you my be here awhile! read more

Very comfortable environment! Friendly server named Grant S took care of us today. Food was a little cold (not his fault at all) we didn't mention it because no biggie! Food tasted good regardless (: the broccoli and cheese casserole is delicious. SO CHEESY. Yum, will return. read more

I had the most incredible experience eating for the first time here. The patio was amazing atmosphere and the service was superb. Samantha graciously checked in to see if we needed anything and cleaned up after I made a big mess spilling my drink. She also brought my dog a bowl of water - so awesome! Definitely surpassed my highest expectation! read more

The wait just to get seated was kind of long. Otherwise, the food was fantastic. I got the maple bacon burger (not sure what it's called) and it was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Love! read more

When I requested a gluten free menu I was told they didn't have one and no allergens are identified on the menu. I told the waiter I need gluten free due to severe celiac disease yet my salad still had croutons after stating no to wanting them. My "loaded" potato was served with only a heaping of sour cream, felt like half a tube. There was more sour cream than potato. And the steamed broccoli was complete mush. The steak was over cooked and had no pink when I requested it to be rare. Yet when I stated no seasoning please it came coated with extra seasoning. I had 2 bites and was violently ill. read more

Good food, good atmosphere, good help but.....I despise the iPad at the table to order!!!' First of all, it seems like a great way to cause confusion while ordering. Yes, we needed help as we couldn't figure out how to use it!! read more

Defiantly one of my favorite restaurants, very generous portions for a very good price. The staff is always very polite with a smile. Every time my friends or family wants to go out this is the first place I suggest! read more

I am very dissatisfied with the restaurant. I have been going there often and have ALWAYS been very happy with the food and service. But today I arrived at a couple minutes to 11. I did not realize my clock was a few minutes fast so I got out and went to the door to find it locked. Any other day is have waited and not cared. But it's a -14 wind chill with a temp of 10 degrees. An employee was right there and turned her back on me, rather than using common sense and allowing me to step into the foyer until the couple minutes we're up and I could be seated. I understand rules are in place for a reason but when does that trump common sense? So I went back to my car and drove to Applebee's where I received a warm, friendly greeting. read more

Walked in to put our name on list. There was a couple sitting down, two couples standing up and a party of four adding their name to wait list. I walked up put our name on list. Once we stepped back a lady yelled, " No one is permitted to stand in our lobby. You will need to go outside until we call you!" So, let's see if this makes sense.... You wait until thirteen people are in the lobby to scream. Hmm Don't you think it would have been more professional and less offensive to quietly and politely advise each party as they came in and out name on list that due to covid order everyone is asked to wait in vehicle until called? RUDE MANAGEMENT. Then we get to our table and everything gets better. Bailey was AMAZING. This young lady knows her menu! She is friendly, attentive and a joy to deal with. Bailey kept our drinks full, table cleared and help us navigate our day in a new city. Thanks Bailey!!! You saved Cheddar's reputation in Findlay Ohio. read more

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Found a hair in the pasta, undercooked chicken, cold fries and warm beer. The manager comped part of the meal but didn't seem overly concerned about it. Lots of other choices out there, I'd avoid this place. read more

My wife and I met some friends here once and loved it! They had been here many times before, being more local to the area than we were, so they knew what to recommend. They serve homey food, which was just right the cold day we went. We started off with their Cheesy Spinich Dip... OMG it was SO GOOD! I got the chicken tenders... yes chicken tenders... not exactly the most adventurous choice but wow they were good - and I know chicken tenders! My wife got some seafood dish and all I remember about it is that she loved it. We finished with both couples sharing their fresh baked monster cookie sundae......... words can not describe the delicious chocolately goodness!! The staff were great and the memory is cherished. read more

Cheddars is like Chilis or Applebees but has a larger menu and always tastes great. Findlay doesn't have many stand alone restaurants so you're usually left with chains. For the best quality and service in Findlay Cheddar stands above the other chains. read more

I was in Ohio this weekend and was out running around with my husband and my in laws. We stopped here for lunch. Started out with the chicken Quesadilla. They were very good, they even had bacon in them! I had the Hawaiian chicken salad. I thought it was OK, the chicken seemed like Tyson short cuts and there wasn't much chicken in the salad. I sampled the buffalo chicken wrap and the club sandwich. Both sandwiches were better than my lunch! My favorite was the buffalo chicken wrap. Service was fast and friendly. The place was packed around 2:00 in the afternoon! Cheddar's reminds me of Applebee's but better. Their drink menu is very impressive and very reasonable. I guess I'm used to paying high Chicago prices where a mixed drink can run you at least $8. I will definitely go back when I'm visiting my in laws! read more

Best place in town no questions asked. Has a nice feel to it inside the building itself. Lots of seating with an outdoor option. The food is very good and the menu itself is relatively diverse. Service is alright, it could be improved but I have no outstanding complaints. Lastly, the prices are reasonable with all meals, and they certainly live up to their tag line. read more

Good menu. Ordered a rack of ribs and key lime chicken and shrimp. Fast service, decent decor. Ribs were a little black and crusty but meaty with good flavor. Chicken was good. I would like to return and try some other menu items. read more

Just really looks dirty. Floors dirty. Doors are dirty - those are the first things you see so your first impression is not good. I realize help is hard to find right now, but cleanliness is everything in the restaurant business. Food was good. Server was good. read more

Not a bad place. Very similar to Applebees but I think they ave more variety on their menu. They have good value for their food and portion size. They have a Monte Cristo which initially sounds good but it is not. I was sucked into wanting to try this out. It is a little to deep fried for my taste. My wife and I thought about trying this a few months ago when we stopped at another Cheddars in WV, but decided not too. We thought it looked good when we saw a person beside us order it. Don't be tempted. It is definitely not healthy and not all that tasty either. read more

I love Cheddar's. Cheddar's has a very inviting atmosphere, quite a few good servers, and a menu that'll please just about anybody. I don't think I've ever came here without getting the spinach dip, that stuff is divine. The most impressive part for me, however, is the "veggie plate". Basically, the veggie plate is a salad or soup(avoid the soups if you're vegetarian), any 4 of their side dishes, and a croissant. This was EXACTLY what I wanted, a highly customizable vegetarian dish. Most restaurants of this ilk have a veggie burger or something similar, and not much else. So much kudos to Cheddar's for having a bit of something for everybody. read more
