I don't typically leave a review about this restaurant much anymore because we eat there fairly often and always love it. The atmosphere is perfect, the food is always great, and the service is always good as well. But this past weekend we went there for Mother's Day. As you can imagine, it was very crowded. They still was able to get us in within a very reasonable time (40 min). The waiter was extra friendly and made the experience enjoyable. And the food was better than I have ever had it there before. Everything was cooked to perfection. We NEVER have second thoughts about going to this restaurant whenever we feel that it fits our schedule. Great work from the management to every worker that has their hands in the process. read more

The restaurant was very clean upon entering. We were greeted and seats quickly by the hostess who was very friendly and upbeat. The waiter was there before we sat down and was also pleasant, providing excellent service. It wasn't loud at all and the atmosphere was casual. Perfect for chatting with friends and feeling relaxed. I got the Monte Cristo, it was not as good as it usually is. It was overly cooked on the outside as the coating tasted a tad bit burnt and the inside was doughy and soggy but the flavors were there. read more

Absolutely wonderful. I got a rack of ribs and they were fall off the bone perfect. Got some onion rings but they were a bit salty. The staff was so nice and the service was fast. The restaurant was clean and flowed well. 100% would go there again if I was going to be in the area. read more

My husband enjoyed the fish and chips and the bread. The service was excellent. Parking was easy. Family was there for a 90th birthday.

Just had late lunch at Cheddars. Food was great but the service was outstanding. Our server, Amee, took great care of us. Always checking to make sure we were having the best meal. Some would have been a little pouty about working Christmas Eve. But Amee was just as sweet as could be. I did feel the margarita was a little light in the tequila. Merry Christmas read more

Have been mostly pleased with Cheddar's until yesterday. Ordered fish and shrimp plus green beans and broccoli casserole. All items were delivered cold. Even the plates were cold. I would think their kitchen would be using heat lamps or warmer ovens. Took most of the cold food home to consume later warmed up. There is no excuse for management to allow this to happen. Someone needs to be monitoring what leaved the kitchen. read more

At first, we were given a 10 minute wait time by the hostess. 30 minutes later we had not been called. When we checked in to make sure we weren't called, they refused to tell us how much longer of a wait we had. This shows terrible hospitality and service on the behalf of this company. read more

Food was amazing plus the waiter was super nice and the decor looks super good shout out to Dianna she was super kind and if the owner is reading this please give her a Raise I would definitely come again this place is perfect. I would recommend this place who wants kind waiters and great food and like I said shout out to Dianna she was great. read more

We showed up 30 mins before closing & they didn't make up feel rushed at all. The honey butter croissants they brought were delicious & warm. Wayde was our waiter, he was super nice and welcoming. We were visiting from California & he even gave us some good suggestions of places to visit. He gave us good food suggestions as well. The salads , ribs, & shrimp were all delicious! Thank you Wayde for the hospitality! read more

My wife & I came here for an early dinner. We first came to this chain while we were in Branson, MO. We enjoyed our experience and were hoping this would be the same. We were not disappointed. Our server Kayla was very professional and courteous. She was helpful and took care of us when needed. The food tasted good and the atmosphere was as we expected. We do plan to come again. read more

Our waitress was very attentive and super kind. The food was good, but nothing outstanding. We had a small food problem and the manager was very quick to fix it and take care of it! Very home-like cooking, menu. Unless you're obsessed with the honey butter croissants they serve as a free appetizer, you're not missing a lot. read more

First I would like to say our party of 7 had an amazing meal. The food was excellent and due to food allergies the executive manager Jeff made sure our order was filled perfectly. Our server Donna was spectacular and very attentive to both our children and adults I could not have asked for a better experience. The Monte Cristi sand which was huge in both size and taste. Always nice to get chicken pot pies from scratch and the pecan grilled chicken salad was fire!! This is our new go to spot in Fort Smith and a "great job to all of the staff!!" Thank you read more

Stopped in to have a steak. Their steak is sooo amazing! Mind you, there is a longhorn next door, but I like Cheddars steaks. They are cooked to perfection, great price and so delicious! Sat at the bar and enjoyed great conversations with bartender Johnathan! Watched some football and had a relaxing evening. No pic, cause I ate it too quickly!! read more

It is hit or miss! Its decent food, but sometimes its just ok! Its never the same food every time. To many other places that have better food! read more

So me and my family went to cheddar's today about 530pm and there was no wait to be seated we got to the table and waitress came and brought our bread took our order but when she asked us what we wanted I wanted two burgers never asked if I wanted mustard or mayo then left to put in our order brought us our drinks my mom's coffee was cold like out of the ice box cold than left and never checked back to fill our drinks the table behind and beside us came in after us got their food and we were still waiting on food, finally got the food and my dad's salmon for 8oz was very small fries was cold had to ask several people to get refills on our drinks and then when we were ready to pay the waitress put our bill on the wrong table tent and we had to wait on her to find ticket to pay it was very disgusting. read more

I had the chicken tenders salad. I cannot remember when I had a worse salad. It was bland and tasteless and I did not enjoy it. Cheddar's used to be a good place to eat. They have closed their restaurants in our area. If the salad is an indication of their standard for quality, I can understand why they are closing. read more

The restaurant was mostly clean and had a nice vibe. The wait staff were friendly and overall efficient. The teenagers I took with me seemed to enjoy their food. I was a little disappointed in mine. It was OK, but nothing that I ate seems top-notch. My steak was a little dry and lacked taste, my chicken strips were nothing to write home about but they were fine. read more

Three is a fair rating, mainly because the food is average. Start with the croissants, one was drenched in butter and the other was dry. Then came the cheese fries, cold, soggy bacon, and some melted cheese. Then lunch, chicken tenders and veggie plate, both were average. read more

Service was good as usual, speaking from a person who was there when they first opened and years later came back. Food was very good as well, tried the criossiant rolls and they are similar to another competitors, not a bad thing. read more

We ordered,to go,the blackened salmon (well done) with steamed broccoli and green beans and added a loaded baked potato without bacon. Everything was delicious and correct, with the notable exception of the broccoli, which was mostly rotten. There were portions which looked fresh, but the black, mushy broccoli took away from it, otherwise I would have given them five stars. read more

Waiter suggested our using the self-service check out at the table. I will not use them for the same reason I will not do self-checkout at a store. He brought a pen and a bill to sign. There was only one copy with no place to tip or sign. He comes back a second time with two and now there is suddenly a tip already calculated on it. He comes back a third time with a manager who immediately goes for the self-service checkout. We point out what is shown on the self- checkout is not our bill. She can't figure out what has happened but states that the self-checkout sometimes will read a card in a purse or wallet if it is close enough!!!! After 10 minutes they still don't know what has happened. She does say it looks like the machine is "stuck" with what was likely the previous customer's bill. However this machine concerns me and I am thinking I do not want to return to a business that knows they have a problem with a machine they can read a credit card. read more

Incredible food! Service was great! Our server Zora was great I give five stars!!!! Will definitely be back read more

When I learned that cheddars brought back onion rings I had to try them. I was not disappointed. They were just as good as I remembered.

Good food, service and ambience.... We enjoy your paid every time we eat here. .......................... read more

This is probably our fourth time eating here and I can honestly say we have had excellent service and great food every time we have been here. read more

First time but not my last. Great food and service. Although, for a scratch kitchen, there could be a little bit more on the gluten-free items. My wife is highly allergic and it is not a health choice. read more

Spin dip was good. Chicken strips were perfect. Burgers grand. Bryce was a great server! Took great care of us!

Went with my family on a Sunday we enjoyed the food, the service was great. We will be back.

Had dinner last night. We got there early to avoid the Friday night rush, but there was still a little bit of of a line. However, we only had to wait about 10 mins. When the other member of my party arrived, they quickly took them right to the table. The food was excellent and the waiter was very nice. I kinda wish the table games provided didn't cost $2.99. I would think that they wouldn't need to make money off of that. All in all... it was a good experience. read more

Went to Cheddar's today for a celebratory dinner. Our first visit. We had the best server. Shandae took such great care of us. From our first greeting to the check. It was like we were her only customers. The food was great. Huge portions. We took home enough for tomorrow's dinner! And dessert was super. read more

We have been waiting 30 minutes for food, a chicken wrap and a country fried steak? This is the last chance I'm giving them. Still no food read more

Yikes, only go here for lunch if you have an entire hour to kill. Oh and being a jacket, because the restaurant is freezing! I was sat down at one of the high tops and wasn't greeted for probably 10 full minutes. I was making eye contact with the bartender because I figured he was taking care of me. He kept looking at me but never came over. Later I learned that I had a different waiter. I ordered water, lunch combo with a ceaser salad and patty melt sandwich, and a buttered croissant. My water came and then my bread came. I waited another 10 minutes for my cold salad to come to the table. I'm still not sure how throwing a salad together took that long. Then I waited again for my sandwich that eventually came. The sandwich was lack luster. On the menu it said it came on Texas toast but that was a lie. All the while that I'm eating, the AC is bumped to an uncomfortable temperature. A lot of people asked to move because of the temperature. I put my credit card out to hopefully speed along the checking out process. My waiter saw the credit card, offered to bring my check, then left the check on the table without taking my card. SO FRUSTRATING! I just wanted a fast, semi healthy, sit down lunch and I was really disappointed in this Cheddars. read more

I keep going back but sometimes the food isn't quite as good as it used to be. I went to the one by Orlando Sea World and the loaded baked potato wasn't even warm as if it had been hours sense it had been prepared. Just don't expect it to be what it used to be. read more

UPDATE: Changing it to one star. I'm not really sure what is going on with this place but we came back to eat on 08/16/19 with our gift card from the last terrible experience. Again, we had bad service. I honestly couldn't even understand our waiter half the time since he spoke so fast and low and we rarely saw him. Not only was our service terrible, we also found a sticker in my food which I almost ate, the waiter then told me to scoop my food into my appetizer plate so he could take it back but I wasn't fast enough then he thought it was okay to personally, without asking, to scoop my food off my plate in front of me with some knife he pulled from somewhere???? He then went into a story abt how to make the broccoli they make in ziplock bags in the back????? I was confused and totally lost bc what did that have to do with anything?¿ To steer away from the situation he made jokes abt stickers being in peoples food and tried to divert our attention from the situation with stories abt the most random things. Nothing was done abt the sticker situation. Didn't feel like telling a manager bc he'd probably think we were lying since this is the second time this has happened within a week of us trying to give them a chance. I'll upload the pictures of the sticker in my food. Needless to say, we didn't tip. And we won't be back. 08/10/19-Giving two stars because the manager compensated us with a $30 gift card. First time coming in awhile we were seated by the host. Everything was going well, everyone was friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Our waitress came and took our order of drinks and our appetizers. We ordered the Santa Fe Spinach dip. Something we always get, and recommend. When she brought it to us, she spilled the chips all over the table and all over my man. Apologized but didn't clean it up at all. She actually just left it. The salsa also spilled in our plate and didn't offer to replace that either. So that was one thing. I felt like it was common sense whether you have waitressing experience or not to clean up when you spill something. We pushed all the chips to the other side of the table in a pile and shoved the chips that fell on my man on the floor. So my man ordered a well done steak. Everything else was fine. We got the steak, it was pink. She came to check on us once, didn't take our dirty plates or anything. We asked to have just the steak removed and we would pay for everything else. She removed his entire meal which was fine. We would've paid for the baked potato and shrimp he ate. When I asked for to go boxes for my food since we no longer wanted to sit and eat there since we felt like she was being rude after we asked her to remove the steak, she brought the to go boxes back and sat them on top of our dirty plates. Never taking them. Never refilling our drinks. Normally they ask if we want to go drinks, didn't ask us that either. Just brought our check and said "yep" a lot to us. Our waitress was not personable. Not friendly. Not attentive. She definitely needs training. Def did not tipSpoke to the manager right before we walked out and he apologized. Was very friendly and gave us a $30 gift card since we already paid for our food before I spoke to him. Hopefully next time we return we aren't seated in her section. read more

We had dinner and try to order honey croissant. I had specifically ask for 5 orders and he brought out 5. This isn't the first time. My mom loves the croissants . We had order two steak meals and ask for medium rare. The steak was well done. And coconut shrimp was burnt. We told our waiter and he gave us 2 new steak meals but we had to wait another 20 minutes. Very disappointed read more

Favorite restaurant during our visit to the Southern States. We ate there several times and I had the salmon with bourbon sauce every time we went. But the best part of eating there was the frozen margaritas! read more
