FOOD GREAT (5). AMBIENCE GREAT (5). SERVICE NOT SO GREAT. (1) We visited Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in Lake Worth around 9:15 PM. The host quoted us a 10-15 minute wait, and that was accurate. Our server greeted us shortly after we were seated, but we then waited about 15 minutes before she returned to take our order. It didn't appear to be busy, so the delay was noticeable. We also waited about 40 minutes for our food. During ordering, we were told several items were unavailable. They were out of onion rings, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. After multiple sides were unavailable, I asked what was available, and the response was simply a gesture toward the sides menu. That was a bit confusing and not very helpful. I ordered broccoli for my son, and when our food arrived, we were then told they were also out of broccoli. Having to repeatedly change sides after ordering became frustrating. The server was not very attentive during the meal and didn't check on us much, although the check was brought out promptly. On a positive note, the food itself was delicious once it arrived. Overall, it was a mixed experience. The food was great, but service and menu availability could definitely be improved. read more

I was so looking forward to the beer batter fish because I've had it here before but this time I was extremely disappointed!! The skin was soft and mushy. The restaurant was clean so that's the only good take away on this visit! The server was even worse than the mushy fish issue. Never once did she check on us after she drop the plates off to us, no refill on drinks, no " is everything okay" NOTHING!! We waited almost 20 minutes for the bill, we finally gave up and asked someone else if they can get it for us!! That's unacceptable Emily!! ( that was our horrible servers name: Emily) And thanks to her, I will definitely not waste my time coming back here!! read more

CORRECTION: review is for Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in HudsonOaks We had a birthday supper celebration with a party of 10. We had called ahead for reservations & were seated promptly. Our waitress, Cynthia, was a fairly new employee & she admitted that ours was the largest party she had ever served. Knowing this we were pleasantly surprised that she handled our large party with pleasant efficiency. We had no complaints whatsoever about her service. Cheddar's signature warm honey butter croissants were served to everyone while drink orders were being taken. We ordered several appetizers of cheese bites which were enjoyed by all. Being a large party we ordered a wide variety of entrees & the general consensus was that everyone was happy with their choice. My one complaint is that, as usual, Cheddar's kitchen does not know how to cook medium-rare salmon & it was over-cooked but had a good flavor with the bourbon glaze on the side for dipping. I have repeatedly made an effort to specify the sear on my salmon but to no avail. I used to send the over-cooked salmon back to the kitchen but due to time constraints I did not on this occasion. Unfortunately, due to the ban on fresh green vegetables for recent safety concerns, they were not serving the side of cooked broccoli which was very disappointing, but understandable. Cynthia was very accommodating to place our bakery-bought cake into refrigeration during our dinner, serving it at the perfect time. She repeatedly asked if anyone needed refills. Cheddar's is one of our go-to places when we want a consistently good & filling meal. And we will continue to be customers. And kudos go to Cynthia for going above & beyond to please us. read more

Menu pages had to be pulled apart-unclean. Awful food. Chicken cooked beyond recognition. Cooked in a pan not grilled. No garlic herb butter sauce to be found. Everything else? Ice cold. Potato, broccoli, rice. Which is a food inspection violation. Where is the manager? Shut this place down. read more

Reliable comfort goodness is here to be found. They were very busy but the server was attentive and efficient. The bacon cheeseburger & fries & appetizer trio of queso & chips, cheese curds, & chicken strips (for our 7 yr old) was perfect after a long day checking out the local sites. Casual atmosphere with fun vibes. It's one of our preferred chains. read more

Food, amazing.. service not so much, understanding that there was a big party group. My server didn't show up till the end of my service, not worried but other servers around, had to wait 10+ minutes to get croissants and water, when she had already brought out the food. read more

I'm never going back to this location ever again. Server paid more attention to another table that was not even his and hardly waited on us at all and had to ask multiple times for to-go boxes while we sat there. It took almost an hour to get our food and it came out almost inedible because it sat out for so long in the kitchen and by the time we got our food it was practically ice cold. This place likes to pay more attention to a larger table for the check and tips they're going to receive rather than their own tables who are actively needing things. Save yourself a trip. read more

Food was amazing and staff was great! Went on a busy Friday night and were seated right away!

Putting an order in an hour ahead and still waiting 30 minutes after the promised time is unacceptable.

Good place to stop and eat with the family, or to have larger gatherings (8-10 people) for a meal and camaraderie. The restaurant is clean, has good service, and is in a good location off the highway. The food is OK. The fish was a bit dry, and the green beans were severely salty - I love salt, but this was an extreme. The salads were good and the tomatoes were fresh - tasty ranch dressing. read more

I took a group of seniors here after visiting a museum. We called them to let them know we had a group of 20 coming in about an hour, but still ended up waiting about 20 minutes after we arrived. It seemed as if the staff didn't really know what they were doing because we kept getting different answers about when we would be seated etc. Then when I went to ask the hostess what was going on she was clearly overwhelmed and fed up and said yeah just sit at the bar. Our waitress was great and absolutely made a difference! Unfortunately my ribeye was way overcooked. She took it back and brought me another one that was very undercooked. If you don't know how to cook a steak, don't put it on your menu. Also, our group was upset to find that the first round of croissants is free, but each one is a dollar if you want more. I do not recommend coming to this place if you have more than three or four people in your party, if you like steak, or if you like fast service. read more

Asked for the fish to be beer battered rather than corn meal dredged; they accommodated and it was excellent, crispy on the outside and moist & tender on the inside with very generous quantity. Was best fish I've had in Fort Worth region at a very reasonable price. Service was excellent, I'll be back. read more

Came to have lunch with my sister. It was alright. Our server wasn't very attentive unless I caught her attention. Her name was Jade. For an appetizer, we got the queso with beef. When she brought it out it didn't have the beef and she mentioned she didn't hear me ask for it. May be because as I was talking to her she started walking off before I was done talking. The dip came out hot and was good but not ggreat. Ordered the blackened salmon with side caesar and brocolli casserole. The salmon came out normal not blackened and was also a little over cooked. The dressing for the caesar side was alright. Not the best but not the worst. When I eventually got the brocolli casserole it was cold. Once she got other tables, we had to flag her down to get her attention. She would keep walking by our table and not ask if we needed anything. We needed to go boxes, to go drinks, and the check. She said it was on the computer on the table which it wasn't. Asked for just the print out check and she brought me a computer for the table to do everything. In which the gift card I had would not work on it. Had to get up and take the gift card to her to get it taken off my bill. I wasn't totally thrilled about the experience. Server could have been better but you never know what someone may be going through. Maybe she was just having an off day. read more

I took my girlfriend and her 84 y/o mom to dinner. We ordered our meals. Her mom wanted the boneless14oz Ribeye, lightly seasoned and medium well and a baked potato with butter only. The steak came and it was rare and bone in and the baked potato had cheese. Sent it back. The manager (I assumed-no intro) brought it back out. Still not medium well and mentioned we ordered boneless. The baked potato was corrected. Our server brought the steak out the third time and it was boneless, and medium well. However, I guess the request of light seasoning went out the window on the first order-very salty. Since my girlfriend and I were finished with our meal, we decided to cancel the attempt on the steak and ordered the salmon. It was about an hour after we sat down, and probably 30 minutes after my girlfriend and I finished our meals, did her mom start to eat her protein portion of her meal. This dinner experience took 1 hr. and 15 minutes. During this, we ordered a second wine which took almost 15 minutes to get. When I asked the server the status of the wine, she replied "I'm still waiting on it." The manager walked by (not intending to stop and check how things are going) and I stopped her and asked about our wine order. Off she went. It turns out the bar tendered also waits on the tables in the bar area. So, if she/he is busy taking dinner and drink orders on the floor, your drink order is on hold until....... When the "runner" initially served our meals, he dropped several chips on the floor. They stayed there for 13 minutes having been passed over 10 times by the manager, server and the runner. Finally, our server swept it up. Not a big issue, but if something is dropped, pick it up. They comped the salmon, which was a professional gesture, however, we were not looking for a free meal, just good service and food so our family can dine together. We've just recently started coming to this restaurant and this is the second time we had to return and wait for a meal to be prepared as we ordered. Last time the server said "The cooks are swamped in the kitchen." We like this restaurant and were hoping the first bad experience was just a fluke. I guess the next visit will determine if we keep Cheddar's as a dinner option. read more

Been waiting to eat here for a minute but what a disappointment!!! Bone-in ribeye is just like something you get at ihop!!it was terrible. The size was terrible, the thickness (you can't call that ribeye), it definitely lacks seasonings. Just awful. And to top it off the baked potato was also terrible! I mean who can mess up backed potatoes? It was so small, and so overcooked, not even worth a dime. Ribs were dry, and the chicken tender tastes frozen! Idk if it is though because everything is supposed to be fresh here right? But it wasn't good. The whole restaurant was empty and they seated us on top of each other and we had to move. The host was RUDE, she had an attitude of unhappiness. Why put her in front of the house. Worse decision you guys can make! Tuesday Oct 31st at 7:30pm She acted so bothered when we walked in like "Urgh go away" attitude on her. No smile! Just resting bitch face! The server was ok. She was nice but also kinda immature. Came back twice the whole time we were there. But she also complains about unnecessary stuff to us. Like I said just immature and not professional. Definitely WOULD NOT come back here. Not even when they pay me to do so. what a disappointment experience. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Thank you at Lake Worth Cheddar's for setting the missing man table on this Memorial Day. - American Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We just ate at Cheddars and I have to say the food was delicious. I had a chicken pot pie and it was full of chicken, and the homemade crust was incredibly flaky. My husband had blackened salmon and it was very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Most of all the crossaints, are a must have. Actually just order some to go also. Our waiter, Bradley was very attentive and took care of all his tables with compentsey. It was so nice, to not have to shout to carry on a conversation. It was a extremely clean and tasteful place to eat. read more

We decided to leave and go next-door to Texas roadhouse and got service immediately.!! thank you Texas Roadhouse for being next-door read more

Big praises for the manager Gary Nelson. After a great dinner and good service, we found ourselves with a flat tire when arriving to the parking lot. We went back into the restaurant to let the manager know that the car next to us had left their lights on and we had a flat. Mr. Nelson didn't hesitate to help us. He went to his car and got out a portable inflater and pumped up our tire which got us home. Thank you for this wonderful man who was a blessing and a great evening with our family. read more

This was the second time I've eaten here, as it's been several years, and I decided to give it a second chance. I'll stick to just reviewing the food. First, the croissant appetizer is awesome, as I love croissants as well as the sweet drizzle it is topped with. The lunch is well portioned, as I didn't have to take a doggie bag home. The lunch portions are generous; I didn't have to take a doggie bag home. I ordered the White Fish grilled with lemon and pepper, accompanied by Southern green beans and red beans and rice. My only complaint is that the red beans and rice were very salty. I enjoy red beans and rice, but this dish was excessively salty. To confirm my observation, I asked my wife to try it, and she ended up spitting it onto a napkin! I wanted to share this feedback with the waitress, but she was quite busy with other patrons. Lesson learned.First, the croissant appetizer is excellent! I love croissants, and the sweet drizzle on top adds a delightful touch.

After seeing it for years i finally got over and tried Cheddar's scratch kitchen, and i liked it! The menu is a smaller version right now because of covid-19 but still some good options, i had the 8oz sirloin with double mashed potatoes for only $12.99 pretty good deal although i was sceptical of the quality. However when my food arrived i was pleasantly surprised, the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and well seasoned as well. The mashed potatoes were good too just a little chunkier than i like but no biggie, they serve delicious crossoints with honey butter at the table free. I also had 2 Texas Margaritas that were pretty tasty and priced great at $4.79 each! I expected this place to compare with a chili's or applebees both of which i don't care for at all. I'm happy to say Cheddar's one up'd those places and i would return for another visit sometime. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - American Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We went here expecting a good meal as it was packed. We didn't get that tho. We ordered a head and received a text saying our food was going to be ready in a half hour. Yet when we got there we waited a half hour after checking in and everyone around us got their food to get ours. We ordered chicken wraps, two sides of cheddar broccoli, a pot pie and a soda was supposed to come with utensils and napkins too. What we got however was a salty chicken wraps missing half the filling, one side of cheddar broccoli, two croissants, the top of a pot pie with some vegetables underneath, a soda and no utensils or napkins to be found. Probably won't be going back... read more

I just don't get it. Every time I drive by this place it's packed. My question is, how??? We stopped in around 8:45 p.m. - the first thing we noticed was the filth, the bar area was a just gross. We knew we should have left, but were hungry. Well turns out that was a mistake. The salmon was overcooked to the point of burnt. The red beans-rice and baked potato, so cold they should have come with a scarf. I suggest if you do come here, bring a pick - you'll need it to break up the ice cold food. After about 3 bites we couldn't take it anymore - paid our bill and left, we won't be back. read more

This was the first time I have ever visited a Cheddar's. I came in as a single dinner and asked for a quiet table or booth. I was walked by a number of 2 person booths and taken to a booth across from a party of 10. At this point I should have asked for another table but the plates were empty and I thought they would be leaving soon. Not so, the party atmosphere at the table continued for the rest of my meal. They were so loud when I put my iPods in to listen to my IPad the noise overrode the sound. I'm not complaining about the party they have every right to celebrate. When the server came I ordered a 14oz ribeye with bake potato with butter only and extra butter. What I got was covered with cheese, which I don't eat, sour cream and something unidentifiable. The broccoli I order was soggy and bland. The rib eye was more fat than steak. When the server came back around I mentioned the mistake in the order and he brought another potato the way I had ordered. I don't know if it was the kitchens fault but the server never delivered the meal, it was someone else. I don't stiff service workers so he received the regular 20% but I don't think I will ever return to the chain. read more

This Cheddar's was good. The restaurant seemed very clean. Our waitress, Melissa was very attentive. The Manager even came by to check on us to make sure everything was good. Our steaks were cooked as requested, and the croissants were a very nice touch. We were seated as soon as we arrived. We would go back. read more

Cheddars is trying to be the next Waffle House. So we are here right now and you won't believe this. The silverware looks like it was taken straight from the pawn shop. The female manager (she white) for reference is on her RAG she almost fight one of the severs in front of my wife. My wife explained to me what RAG means. Now my server is on edge and I think he is having a nervous breakdown. Hopefully our food and drinks arrive in good standing. I will post a follow up post with the updates. I do commend every single waitress, cook, attendant, and everyone working here. They are doing a great job. I will be back for sure. Next time I will bring my own silverware. read more

My spouse and I arrived at location at 1:30pm today and were seated.after a ten minute wait to be escorted to a booth After waiting over 15 minutes we got up and moved to a table in the back. After five a young lady came over to take our order. I ordered an appetizer which was terrible (spinach was real cold as was the cheese dip). Then I ordered the baby back ribs ( not hot) and a hamburger medium rare (horrible as meat was cold & raw) decided to leave and pay our tab. Took the ribs and two chicken strips (for my dog). When I got the bill, the young lady deducted the burger but charged me for the salad and mashed potatoes (which were the sides that came with the ribs). Lousy customer service and food was worse ever. Our server still got her 20% tip as she was good, but food was terrible. Robert read more

Horrible place horrible service! I met a friend for dinner we were seated and ordered our food I ordered salmon salad and she ordered chicken wraps... well the waitress started putting up the liquor order and I think she forgot about our food. We finally got our food about an hour after we ordered and my salmon was ice cold and her wraps were hard and soggy from sitting out... when I told the waitress the salmon was cold she said you want us to reheat it or cook you a new one... they heated it (which I've never had that happen). ... on top of all that an older gentleman passed out and fell to the ground and none of the staff wanted to help him... had it not been for a man and woman that was in the bar area close to him I'm not sure what the outcome would have been for him... I won't go back to this place poor service poor staff and the Manager needs customer service training The only reason I gave it one star is because I couldn't post review without one star read more

We walked in about 4:30 pm. The host told us that they are waiting on their servers to get there and that it would be a 10 minute wait. The hostess said that they can text us when they are ready to have us seated but we would have to wait outside or in our car. She is super soft spoken and its hard to hear her. We went and waited in the car and about 10 minutes passed. We got a text. There are just the two of us. We get seated about about 15 minutes pass by and no one has stopped by to get our drinks. I finally decide to order through the little kiosk screen. I order a spinach dip appetizer. I try to order our drinks but of course I cannot because they would need to check out ID's. I then call for a server through the machine. About 3 minutes pass by and our server shows up. She apologizes. She could not see us from where she is standing. In this instant, my advice to the establishment is they need to train their hostess to communicate with their servers when they have seated patrons. Our server is Roxanne. Once she got to us, she was on a roll and provided great service. We ordered a burger and a pot pie. Both were pretty good and brought out in a timely manner. Roxanne was nice and took very good care of us. Down sides: Ordered a miller light. "oh sorry, our draft does work right now" Okay. Will settle for a Dos Equis. "It's not showing up on my screen. I think we are out." Good grief, Cheddars... get it together. It's not hard....Make your server's job easier. read more
