    Monte Cristo
    Nou Nou S.

    I was finally able to make a visit. Theres plenty of parking lot, off Plank Rd (Rt. 3), in front of Sportsman and next to Dunkin. As you walked in, restaurant is clean, full bar on your right and dining areas all around. I ordered 3 items: 1) Classic Burger 2) Buffalo Beer Battered Shrimp 3) Monte Cristo. When you get seated, you will be asked if you want a croissant. I am glad I said yes, the croissant was airy, fluffy, had a nice crunch of the outer layer and drizzle with honey butter. When the buffalo shrimp arrived to the table with 8 pieces and cocktail sauce. It was so perfectly fried that you can even eat the tail. It was delicious. The monte cristo comes in four, stuffed with smoked ham, smoked turkey, cheese and served with a ramekin of raspberry preserves. This dish alone with fill you up because it's very heavy and rich. It tastes good with or without the jam. The classic burger was very good and prepare it to your liking. The burger was juicy, tender and delicious. I had impeccable service by my server Callie P. She was friendly, attentive, genuine and knowledgeable. I would definitely make a return visit to try other items on their menu.

    Decided to finally try Cheddars. Was greeted as I entered and was quickly seated. The waitress was super friendly and brought me a fresh Croissant. The dining area was pleasant but I happened to be seated next to a large group that was a little loud. But other than that it's a nice place to eat. I ordered the country fried chicken with a loaded baked potato and corn. Food came out promptly and was hot. The meal was delicious and plenty of food. I ended up spending about $20 with taxes included. The menu is varied with something for everyone.

    First time trying Cheddars. We did have a large table that we were waiting on. I arrived early to make sure we got our table and unfortunately,no one could be seated till at least 1/2 of the table arrives. This lunch was supposed to be to be a surprise, thank god, our guest of honor was running late. Food was good. Loved the croissants. They were a nice change for table food. The vibe was good. We were able to eat , drink and spend time together. Didn't get to try too much, stuck to the appetizers. Drinks were super good,

    Key West Chicken & Shrimp

    Overall, I think Cheddar's is nicer than the other chain restaurants. My husband and I were traveling to get on to 95 to go back South, but we needed a bite to eat. Cheddar's seated us right away. Our server was very nice, and she checked on us regularly. I had the Key West chicken and shrimp, which I thought was very tasty. The sauce and seasoning was delicious. The rice soaked up the sauce, which was super yummy. I loved the pineapple pico de gallo. My husband got the garlic tilapia and shrimp, which was also tasty. The croissants were nice and flakey, and the honey butter drizzled on was nice. The ambiance is a typical restaurant. An overall good experience with healthy options and tasty food.

    I was excited to see there is a Cheddar's so close. I came after the major lunch crowd. Looks upbeat and hasn't been opened that long. I didn't wait long to be seated and I asked for the bar area in a booth since they had smaller booths and it was just me. Bar tender took my order. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I did ask for onion rings but they no longer have them. I opted for the chicken tenders with hot sauce on the side. Came out not that long after. Food looked cooked until I cut into the tenders and it was pretty cool not steaming hot. It was like the tenders were cooked and then the fries weren't ready at the same time. I let the bartender know and she went to the kitchen to get me some more. I continued to eat my fries and slaw while I waited. Manager brought the new plate back out with more slaw and fries. She came back a few minutes later to see if the temp was right. It was. It's the little things that make a lasting memory. Will I be back? Yes.

    Santa Fe Spinach Dip
    Jasmine K.

    EXACT RATE- 4.5/5 SERVER- Eric (6/5 server!) Came here with a friend for a night bite and wasn't disappointed! FOOD- Spinach dip and Cheddar broccoli casserole They start you off with this glazed croissant... delicious, they charge for extras I'm pretty sure. I wasn't too hungry because I had dinner a few hours prior so I stuck to an appetizer and side. The dip was delicious! It comes with salsa on the side. The casserole was o.k. Nothing crazy. I could probably make something exactly the same at home using rice broccoli and the singles cheese slice. SERVICE- Amazing! We came in 30 minutes before closing and Eric was still attentive and friendly. He didn't rush us one bit and checked in to make sure we were all good. He was awesome. AMBIANCE- I wasn't expecting this place to look as nice as it did! Plenty booth seating (I'm a booth only gal) so that was great. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area!

The beautiful modern dining room is spacious, warm, inviting, and modern! We were greeted immediately and we're told that we can sit at any table that we would like to!

    I was finally able to make a visit to this place. It's in a strip mall along with other businesses…read moresuch as Kohls, Finesse Salon Studios and across from Publix Super Market. Theres plenty of parking and they have a small area for outside seating. As you walked in, there's plenty of seating, they have an open kitchen concept, a side room for special events or meetings (25 people capacity) but it's their mission that caught my interest as cashier/ hostess Lexi explains to me. This company spreads and provides charity catering throughout the community with multiple outlets. Lexi was very patient as she explains how the menu works. I ordered 3 items: 1) Loaded baked potato 2) Fried fish 3) Chicken and waffles. I just wanted to taste the baked potato without any protein on top. I don't know what it was that had an off taste, maybe the butter. The potato itself was soft topped with cheese, green onions and a little bland. The chicken and waffle were tasty. The fried chicken wasn't as crispy as I would like it but it was well seasoned and the waffle was soft. There are so many options for your sides. So for the fried fish, the appearance looks delicious but it was very thin and dry. Even with the tartar sauce it was still dry. I was really looking forward to it. The sides I selected were fries and hope cakes (which are sweet corn bread). Their beverages are on point, I got their lemonade and sweet tea. Lexi was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant is only opened on Fridays-Sundays for regular business but since they do multiple catering events, they are open 7 days a week. They also offer Sunday brunch between the hours of 9a-3p which the entire dining room is open with mocktail and coffee station. There isn't a buffet during the brunch but a la carte off the menu. I would make a return visit to try their brunch menu in the near future.

    As someone who's been smoking brisket, pork butts, and ribs for 7+ years, I don't hand out BBQ…read morepraise lightly. I judge every spot against what I'm putting out at home... and a lot of places fall short -- whether it's weak seasoning, lack of smoke, or just flat-out underwhelming flavor. But Wild Waylon's BBQ? Yeah... this place is LEGIT. We went all in: pulled pork, brisket, and the big dino beef ribs -- plus mac and cheese, green beans, a bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper, and the jalapeño cornbread. Every single thing delivered. The brisket had great flavor and was cooked right, the pulled pork was juicy and well-seasoned, and those beef ribs... absolute showstopper. Big, meaty, packed with flavor, and done exactly how you'd want them. Sides were just as solid. The mac and cheese was rich and satisfying, green beans had great flavor, and that bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper + jalapeño cornbread combo? Yeah... ridiculous in the best way. And the smoke -- you can actually taste it. That alone separates them from a lot of spots. The whole experience was on point too. The big pit out front lets you know immediately they're serious about their craft, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful the entire time. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality you're getting. This is one of the few places I've been where I walk away thinking, "yeah... they're doing it right." If you're anywhere near Fredericksburg -- or even just passing through -- this spot is absolutely worth the stop.

He was delightful to talk to about the menu and honestly gave such a great vibe to the eatery. Before today is say we haven't been all that impressed with BBQ options on the east coast. There's one other place that was alright but Wild Waylon's BBQ knocks it out of the park. And if I'm being frank, Wild Waylon's is better than some BBQ joints I've been to in Texas. We will have to make the trek out here again, and this time with friends, to enjoy one of the best restaurants in VA. What we got: Jalapeno pepper poppers - 5* what a delicious side! Until today is yet to meet a restaurant that made a better jalapeno popper than myself. Wild Waylon's has officially won the unofficial competition. I will be putting rubs on my bacon henceforth and hopefully will be able to reclaim my honor. Do yourself a solid and order this side. Beef rib - 5* my partner missed my face when I took my first bite and that's probably a good thing. This was the highlight of the meats Wild Waylon has to offer. If I remember correctly it's smoked for 24 hrs and boy does it shine! The meat literally fell off the bone when I picked it up for my first bite but that didn't stop me from diving in with my fingers. This one does not need any sauces, it's flavour is strong and good. Baby back ribs - 3.5* honestly, probably closer to 4 but when compared to the beef rib no other rib can compare! What I loved about this one was the crispy-ness on the underside of the rib and dipping this one in the various homemade sauces that are available in store. Pork Belly - 3.5* we tried a slice but saved the rest for leftovers. It was good and even better dipped in a sauce. I really liked the texture and am looking forward to eating the leftovers. Much like the ribs I think I am having a hard time judging this one without comparing it to the beef rib. Brisket - 3.5* we tried a slice but saved the rest for leftovers. It was decent and kind of melted in the mouth. There's probably a little room for improvement with this particular dish but it's also a good one to let the sauces shine. Baked beans - 5* woooah, these are fantastic beans! Coleslaw - 3* decent coleslaw. It wasn't anything amazing but we appreciated having it as a palate cleanser between meats and spicy sauces. Pickled jalapenos and onions - 3.5* this is spicy and delicious!

I hate to say this but it was a step up from box Kraft mac & cheese. The Grilled lamb chops were served with roasted fingerling potatoes and sauteed green beans. While the lamb chops were plentiful and we appreciated that, again the sides that accompanied the dish lacked flavor. To be an upscale Southern cuisine restaurant they missed the mark on some of the staples sides and that was a little disheartening.

Upon her getting close and speaking it was very apparent she was very intoxicated and I remarked that it was sad about her condition. As we waited for our food we watched her interactions with other tables and she had problems remembering what table was which. She delivered food to the wrong tables and dropped other food on the floor trying to deliver it. Her fellow waitresses were actually calling her out in the middle of the dining room telling her to get her act together. When she delivered the food the hamburger steak platter was literally a dry hamburger patty that was old and had a thimble of gravy. the mashed potatoes were instant and had been poorly mixed because the powder was still dry in the middle. The glazed carrots were old soggy and brown ( see the picture) . We never got a bill because she just disappeared completely. We went to pay and the cashier was able to look up the order and we spoke to her about the waitress needing some help and her condition and all she would say is " we will try"

I ordered three chicken wings (they were oversized - not my preference), potato salad, black eyed peas and one piece of cornbread. The chicken lacked flavor. It was just big and kind of greasy. The sides were fine. Ordered a piece of sweet potato pie to go and that was fine. The jazz contained a lot of talking. It was nice when they started playing line dancing music and there was a small area to dance. The dancing wasn't offensive or in the way...it was just right. Then came more talking. And advertising of a cruise, etc. It was okay, but I wish they played more music than talking. The same night, the restaurant attempted to charge me for a missed reservation fee ($5 per person). Luckily, I keep my AMEX locked. Weird, I gave my name to the hostess upon check-in. Wonder if that's happened to others. All-in-all, it was an okay experience. Not opposed to trying the restaurant again, but not necessarily rushing to get there.
