An 8oz Top Sirloin....rare.
Cor V.

Our trip to this Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen was exactly one year ago. We are back in Gainesville and Cheddar's is high on our list for dinner. It was easy parking and we were seated at a nice booth. The menus were handed out and we were met by an outstanding server named Nickie. She was the best. It is Not easy to make sure that all the specific orders to bring a Vegetable Plate from the kitchen that was exactly as needed and desired. Yes, the menu has what we want, number one son knows the Country Fried Steak with Texas toast and gravy and Broccoli Casserole is a winner. The lovely missus had an epic 8oz Top Sirloin Steak prepared as she likes it Rare. My choice was for something that I usually order on a Friday; the Fish and Shrimp platter with a light batter coating accompanied by fresh Broccoli was my winner. All of us had the sweet corn as a side dish. Dessert was a hard choice but we went with the fried apple pie and vanilla icecream. It gave our meal at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen a super ending. Thanks for the good food and best service. We will keep Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen high on our list.

We were seated for dinner in the bar area. Two individuals at the bar were involved in an altercation last week. We never experienced such loud and vulgar language in a restaurant. Small children were exposed to this type of language from one of the individuals. Advised a manager and nothing was done. Our first and last time at Cheddars. Absolutely not acceptable behavior.

Honey Butter Croissants
Ryan M.

The service was quick with no issues, our wait time was around 5-10 minutes which was pretty quick. When we sat down I was kinda shocked at how comfortable the booths were. The restaurant itself felt pretty empty but the lighting is nice and it was warm inside which is a plus. When we got served the Honey Butter Croissants I just had to close my eyes for a sec and really absorb that amazing flavor, same with the Cheese Bites. They tastes like chicken but it was gooey and warm like a toasted marshmallow. The Buffalo Chicken Wrapper was also nice but I would have liked it if it had more flavor, the fries tasted good but I wished it was crispier. Overall it was really good.

Ate here on April 27th. Table was dirty rice on seats. Food on floor around and under the table. Food came out cold. Both parties food had to be heated in microwave. Croissants came out late. I will never eat here EVER AGAIN.

14 oz. Ribeye

I visited Chedders and was not impressed. The Monster Cookie was good and so was the rolls. How ever the steak was still mooing. It was more red than ketchup.

Coconut shrimp
Gretel Y.

Let me start by saying that the service was excellent! Our server was fantastic and did a great job managing our group of 13 which included 8 adults and 5 children including a few teenagers. She and other staff members were so friendly and accommodating of our group. They didn't miss a beat. However, the food was just OK. They brought complimentary honey butter croissants as soon as we were seated and that was the only thing I liked. The croissants were soft and pretty amazing. I wanted more. I ordered the coconut shrimp platter with broccoli and fries. The shrimp was heavily coated with this overly sweet coconut breading. I ended up removing the breading to eat the shrimp. The broccoli and fries were fine. If I wasn't so hungry, I probably wouldn't have eaten all of the shrimp. My husband got chicken tenders, which he thought would be a safe one to order, but he did not enjoy it at all. Our son who eats pretty much anything and a lot of it, couldn't even finish his New Orleans pasta. He usually asks for a to-go box if he can't finish something, but he politely told me he did not want to take it home. The rest of our group seemed to enjoy their food. We didn't hear any complaints from them.

Fantastic Atmosphere, Food and Service !…read more This is a little gem in Gainesville and so glad we decided to give it a try. Highly recommend and i can rave about their menu as well. Keep up the great job! Will be back next time we visit from Panama City Beach

This was my second time here. Wife & I were really excited about a new place in Gainesville. After…read moreseeing the menu and photos of the inside, I really wanted to like this place. During today's visit around 1:20pm there was a 20 minute wait which was fine. We waited the full length of time and got seated. Our server was very nice and took our drink and food orders quickly. After getting our appetizer (2 biscuits) we waited 50 minutes for our entree. Almost to the point where we weren't hungry. I was sorely disappointed when my meal, the chicken tenders, came out. They were wet, rubbery, and the breading wouldn't stay on. I completely lost my appetite and sent it away with the check. Our waiter offered a complementary dessert, but I came there to eat a meal. After waiting so long for a meal I was not going to waste any more of my day. What was most disappointing was that despite sending back nearly the entire dish, the entrée was still on the bill. Keep in mind this is not a cheap restaurant. In my opinion, when a customer returns 90% of a meal due to quality issues, that item should be removed without having to ask. Overall, we really wanted to enjoy this place, but between the long wait and poor food quality, it missed the mark for us. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

We've been a few times now and it doesn't disappoint! The staff has always been super friendly,…read moregood with service, and helpful. The inside has a very cool old school building feel while being trendy at the same time. It's quite a large place with two sides and outdoor seating plus restrooms on each side. The appetizers and main dishes that we have had so far are all fantastic. The fish and chips are some of the best I've had. The fish isn't overly breaded and greasy like some other places. Our son loves the fried green bean appetizer but eats most of it himself so we hardly ever get to enjoy it. Once again the breading is light resembling a panko type crust so you aren't just eating deep fried objects. We've tried numerous other appetizers and so far nothing has been a let down. If you're looking for a good menu with quality food and drink options (they have a full bar) then this is it. Cool setting. Easy to get to. Great food. Friendly staff.

Absolutely. But it was fabulous -- bold, unexpected, and delicious. After walking through the rest of town, I found myself right back for a second round. This time, it was their creative take on shrimp and grits. Another hit -- inventive and full of flavor. My only complaint? Neither dish was served quite hot enough for my taste. Next time, I'll be sure to ask for everything piping hot. Because yes -- I'd definitely go back.

This was me & my husbands 7th year anniversary, we wanted to get out and go somewhere nice…read more Im really satisfied and happy that we chose this place. There was an aura in the air when we got here, i swear im not being dramatic. The smell of the food hit us walking up, but it wasnt over-powering...it was just the right "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" amount. Our waiter was attentive and consisent with checking on us and asking about quality - while answering other tables which im sure is difficult. I wasnt able to quite catch his name - but that is on our part since we didnt let him know we hadn't heard when he did say his name. The other waiter that brought out the food was also kind. The food was of course delicious, unsuprising since the other reveiws had already raved so much to the point it was honestly kind of expected. The steaks on both plates had been cooked to perfection - my husband and I are grateful to the chef that unknowingly gave us such a wonderful anniversary dinner. The Mozzerella Mac & Cheese had such depth of favor. The cheese though... we are absolutely suspecting the chef of using gouda! Smokey and rich in flavor - thoroughly creamy & cheesy with such consistent flavoring... we loved it. The fries were homemade and delicous, not much to say besides the fact they didnt taste of chemical preservatives whatsoever. In fact, I think at one point both our stomach thanked us for eating this wonderful food. My drinks were delicious, we got the Georgia Mule and then the margarita that is also on the drink menu. Both were delicious but the Georgia Mule was refreshing! Hands down the best we have ever tried. The weather, sun, and love of my life definetely played a part of this reveiw - I must be honest of my bias. The band that was playing on 03/24/2026 was great. If I could compare the vocalist I would say they sound exactly that of the singer "Hozier". Thank you to everyone that played a role in the experience.
