So I work by here so I stopped to try it. First they brought a fresh out of the oven croissant with some Kide of honey butter drizzled on it. I wanted 5 more it was so good. Then I had a filet. It was ok? What's with steaks not being that good in Texas? I thought I would get the best steak of my life since moving here. I ordered a margarita that was ok, couldn't even taste the tequlia but was something you would get at a chili's or something. I sat at the bar and watched the bartender text away on her phone the guy helping was nice. Was a ok experience... read more

I'm going to go with the previous review and say "meh" That goes for the food as well as the service. The butter croissants are the only consistent item on the menu. Today I got steak. The medium was RARE. It was so red, I couldn't eat it. I brought it home to finish cooking it! The kid talked to me as though this was my first steak- telling me that's what medium looks like even though three of us ordered the same thing, and mine was the only one that was totally RED. I wasn't asking for anything free. I asked for a box and when he returned, I mentioned that it was red, so I would take it home to cook it a bit more. Poor kid just needed better training on steak and definitely on customer service. I'd rather not go to a place I can't trust to be consistent and delicious when there are so many other places to go! So long, Cheddar's. read more

Horrible food. Tasteless and overcooked. Server was friendly and helpful but I will never eat that food again.

Great desserts and great quality food! Good pricing as well. Good comfort food. Good atmosphere.

Service was Great! The 14 oz Ribeye steak as described on the Menu as Juicy and delicious was a Commercial grade beef which is a low grade standard steak was tough and poorly seasoned! Although I do believe in tipping well, I do not appreciate the suggested gratuity which is calculated after tax is obviously wrong! The 22% gratuity that was calculated on the ticket was $7.55 which should have been $6.02. Something is very wrong here and need to be corrected! It also should have been calculated before tax. You should not be paying gratuity on tax. See attached photo and see for yourself! read more

Met with my cousin here today for a late lunch and we were both very unimpressed by the service. The food was amazing and deserves five starts, but the service was barely two stars. I arrived after my cousin and so I was given a few moments to look over the menu. I asked about the end time for lunch and was told by Norma, out server, that they serve lunch all day. I decided to get their salmon bourbon glazed with green beans and broccoli as my sides. It didn't take too long to come out and after that Norma was nowhere to be found at our table. She never checked on us, refilled our waters, and was just non existent. In the meantime our food was pretty good. My salmon and the sides were warm and filling. I ended up taking a little less than half home, which will be dinner later. When we did finally see Norma again it was to bring us the check. While receiving the check we asked if we could get an order of their crossiants to go. She said that she would bring them out to us, but she never did. She did quickly collect the check and disappear again. The next time we saw Norma she was sitting down and chatting it up with a couple on their phones. When we finally caught her eye and motioned for her to come help us she gave us the one finger up to wait. We waited another few minutes and Norma finally came over. We asked her about the croissants and she told us that her brain was super foggy today and she just couldnt remember them--really?!? Norma told us she would bring them to us and we finally got them. We paid that check and left. My cousin and I both agreed that the service we received was super bad. We felt ignored and unwanted. I would not recommend coming here if you want good service, which should be a part of a good meal. Go elsewhere!! read more

We were greeted immediately by the hostess and seated promptly during the lunch rush. Great variety of options on the menu for everyone in the family. The Spinach Dip with Chips and Salsa was a great start to our meal. The complimentary Honey Butter Croissants were warm, fluffy, and sweet. Monte Cristo was freshly battered and delicious. Creamy Garlic Tilapia with Shrimp was flavorful and seasoned well. The Kids Grilled Chicken and Rice was a little bland. Overall enjoyed the food and would be back. read more

Very disappointed for many reasons. 1) we made reservations a few day before. We still end up waiting over 40 minutes. 2) they did not inform us this location cannot set a party greater then 8 people together. They try to put us all in booths. (But we made reservations) 3) when we talk to the MANGER. He had the never to say we where lieing, when we ask why No ONE told us this information when we made reservations. Cheddar is a great restaurant BUT how our family was treated was totally uncalled for. We will NEVER COME BACK to this location again. I hope the store manger will really follow up with us. read more

I just love Cheddars! And this location was the best location I have ever been to. The service was good and the food was delicious as well. Sadly I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures of the food but hopefully you will take my word and get the SPINACH DIP! Even if you are like me and don't care for spinach. Try it! The croissants are also AMAZING! And let's not forget about the strawberry lemonade! Cheddars is not a fine dining restaurant but if you want some good/decent food for a good price.. this is the place to go! My normal go to is the Chicken Tender Salad but I like the Country Fried Chicken as well. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Honey Butter Croissants - American Near Me - Garland, Texas

I love cheddars! Their $7 stacked onion rings appetiser is my all time favorite along with their delicious honey butter croissants (4 flaky croissants for $3). These are obviously just apps but pair them with their signature drinks and you've got the perfect little hang out with friends before the start of the night.... or in my usual case, the end of the night. Unfortunately this location in Firewheel only gave us about half to 3/4th size the number of onion rings we usually get and I have no idea why seeing how the cost went up from $5.29-to $7 now! Our croissants were delicious. But our apps took forever to reach our table ( more than 20 minutes). They did appear to be slammed and backed up so I was fine waiting for them. And we completely finished our apps before we finally were able to order, meaning another 30 minutes before we got our food. I don't understand, he should have taken our order before giving us the apps or taken our order as he delivered the apps. There was so much sitting around it definitely was no fun celebrating a birthday there. I wanted to write this review specifically for food though. DO NOT ORDER THE Grilled Chicken Alfredo ($10.50). Absolutely wretched. I took exactly 3 bites and decided I had enough. The pasta was over cooked, the sauce was thick and clumpy, it looked like spoiled milk. But worse of all, The sauce tasted disgusting. Like. It looked better than it tasted. Oh, and even if it was good, they gave me about 1/4 of what i would have needed for the pasta pieces, as in- yes, there were literally pieces of pasta that had NO SAUCE on it. So it was legitimately just a spoon of nasty sauce. - bunch of cooked unflavoured pasta thrown on top of that had some melted cheese on top and the rubbery chicken pieces. I ate the broccoli and called it a day. Instead, get their chicken fried chicken - it's massive and can feed 2 people easily. The broccoli cheese casserole is a must. I also really enjoy their salmon with mango salsa. @crjetc read more

Came here with a group of 9, they oddly split us up into a combination of booth and 2 tables. There was obviously room for all tables so I'm not sure why. The service was good; our waiter was very attentive. The food was either decent or terrible. The Buffalo chicken wrap, Monte Cristo, and chicken fried chicken were okay. The meatloaf and chicken fried steak were not liked at the table. I had the chicken fried steak and it had pretty much a full inch of nothing but breading. The meat inside was just a gray shriveled piece of something that resembled meat. The booths and dishes seemed pretty dingey. They also need to clean the outside as there were bits of trash all around the property. Including a dirty diaper in the parking lot (more the fault of terrible humans I suppose). read more

Friendly tip: Do not come to this place for your birthday dinner. I have spent several birthday dinners at Cheddar's; my own and family members. For the first time this year, I was given two tiny ass stale cookies as my "free birthday dessert." I truly thought the waitress was playing a joke on me until the manager came over and told me "No, that's been our policy for 5 years." Which is complete crap seeing as how I was just there this past January for a family member's birthday and that was not the policy then. I literally skipped lunch today for my birthday dessert just to be slapped in the face with two tiny ass cookies likes I'm turning 4 years old. On top of that, our waitress never came back to our table after taking our order. Didn't bring us our food and didn't bring a single refill. Not once. I literally could've picked any restaurant and I picked Cheddar's as it's always been a family favorite. After tonight, I'm never stepping foot again in another Cheddar's. read more

Went inside and ordered out food, they told us to go to curbside and it would be ready in 15 minutes. We went and grabbed a drink nearby for 10 minutes, came back, parked at curbside and gave them 5 minutes, then called, they said they'd be right out. We waited and waited and waited. 20 minutes later, I call them and we're put on hold for another 3 minutes and now it's been 10 minutes and we're still waiting for someone to come out and give us our food. No one. We're just burning gas waiting. This is pretty ridiculous. I've never waited this long ever, even when they've made the food wrong and had to go remake it. The Wife just went inside to see what the deal is. She says it just looks like everyone is really busy, maybe they're understaffed tonight. She paid, they got our food and our she came. At least the food isn't cold, it's not piping hot, don't get me wrong. read more

A company who made the decision to implement a live fish tank in the restaurant should budget to maintain it properly. It's extremely unfortunate to continuously watch the same fish suffer with a parasite, week after week from malnutrition. Absolutely disgusted by this behavior and lack of empathy. We requested to take on the responsibility of relocating this fish to a facility who could reverse the negligence it has previously encountered but was denied the opportunity and were told it was the hostess job to "feed the fish". We then requested to speak to the manager on duty Michelle Valentine or the general manager Jose Vasquez and were denied the request. FUCK CHEDDARS and I will gladly forward this review to PETA on behalf of everyone who has sympathy for any creature in sufferance. The people read more

5/25/19 is when we came to this location after my daughter graduation. The only good thing about this was our wait time to get a table, was fast. Other than that not good. Our drinks, well that's different took over 5 min to get our drinks. We did have a party of 11 but it wasn't like we had a long list of different drinks. Water was a key one. Our food, it was some time which was okie due to being a little busy nothing crazy. Some of our foods were dry which I returned one and told them I didn't want anything else. The other guest ate theirs and it was dry too. I had chicken and it was bland and dry. Someone ordered blackened and there was no blackened at all. I would not refer anyone to this location and I won't come back to this location. Not good all the way around. read more

I guess I came in at the wrong time‍. Walked in at 3:05pm and no one was at the hostess stand. I made a quick stop in the restroom. After my pit stop, I joined 3 others at the bar, just as a male employee was leaving the bar area. About 3 minutes later a female employee answered a call and proceeded to take a phone order. 3 ladies walked in for a to go order but were told by multiple employees that they need to speak with the lady on the phone. I asked another employee for a menu but I guess she didn't hear me. A customer got me one from the hostess stand . Finally, another employee came over at 3:19 and took my order. At 3:24 the bar attendant completed the call in order and the lady who took my order updated her. WOW! I already have my receipt. Guess next time I'll walk in and ask for a receipt if I want fast service. I'll update about the food if I get it any time today. Caesar Salad - good, fresh and great flavor Honey Butter Croissant - hot buttery and sweet Texas Sweet Tea - ok drink Fried Shrimp - huge shrimp, fried crispy, a tad salty French Fries - golden fried to perfection Tartar Sauce - house recipe, really good Overall, the food was good. Service got better. So updated from 2 stars to 3. read more

In a time where good service is hard to find, My family and I were pleasantly impressed. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. We were seated at a table but preferred a booth. I asked our waiter, Marvion B., and he promptly got us an open booth. The food is good, and served hot and is delicious. Marvion is an awesome waiter. No matter how good the food is or isn't, the waiter/ waitress is what often makes or breaks the experience. I just can't say enough positive things about Marvion's work ethic, professionalism, Attentiveness and general attitude. In a time where there is an expectation to tip well regardless of any of the above mentioned... It was a pleasure to tip this young man for a job well done. We will be back... read more

Its your standard American fare restaurant. Large selection of entrees from burgers,chicken, or seafood. Clean facility and employees have been trained well. Everything you would expect from a chain restuarant. My favorite thing about Cheddars though has got to be the croissant and the side dishes. I had the grilled tilapia which was cooked nicely but the green beans and broccoli casserole really did it for me.. broccoli casserole was really cheesy and satisfying. And the green beans will definitely keep me coming back. read more

Having late dinner last night here at Cheddar's. My wife ordered the 6 oz. and I ordered their 8 oz sirloin steak. They said, when your in Texas you need to take a shot on their "not frozen" steak! Steak is tender and juicy. It was marinated, made from scratch. That's what this restaurant is noted for ("Scratched Kitchen") comfort food being made from scratch. Freshly grilled, medium well done sirloin steak. I chose their seasoned rice and fries. Friendly server and moderately quiet with piped-in country music. Separate Men and Women's moderately clean bathroom. Need to fix the leak in one of the two urinals. Slippery when you get in. Properly decorated restaurant in joyful ambiance mood. read more

Sorry this post is long but here's what happened to me at Cheddars located @ 5445 N President George Bush Hwy, Garland, TX 75044 on March 20, 2021. Me and my little family went to this Cheddars on yesterday at 8:43p. We were told there was a 1 hour wait. We were cool with it, put our name on the wait list and gave the hostess our phone number. We decided to go next door to Target to kill some time. We weren't in there too long. We made it back to Cheddars around 9:18p. I parked my car in front, backed up, so I can see the front door. At this point they have 1 hostess sitting outside with a clip board and I'm wondering how their system is working because it doesn't add up, to me. Around 9:28p, my husband goes to check and see where we are on the list. He speaks with the hostess outside first and then I see him walk inside. He comes out around 9:33p and tells me there are 6 parties in head of us and it will be 20 minutes from now. We've waited this long so we decide to continue the wait. As we're sitting in the car, I'm noticing several people walking out. I'm talking huge parties of people. I notice a lot of black people standing outside. There were a few white people that walked up and talked to the hostess and then went inside but never came back out. I'm thinking they must already be on the list so I brush it off. As we're waiting I'm starting to notice that the majority of the white people are staying in and not coming out but several black people are standing outside waiting. The time is now 10:03p and I decided to go see what was going on. I'm expecting to see several white people standing around waiting for a table but NOPE! I saw one white woman and her daughter waiting to talk to the hostess. When the hostess got off the phone she asked the woman, "how many are in your party?" and the woman answered, "it's just me, her, and my husband...her dad," The hostess said, "oh! I can seat you now." I immediately stopped her and said, "how are you going to seat them when you have people who have been waiting over 1 hour and she just walks in here and don't have to wait?" The hostess said, "she's on the list." I told her "she's not on the list because if she were you wouldn't have asked how many are in the party, cause that information is given when you get on the list." Now she's looking all dumb at me. I grab the list and I'm looking at it. I see names, phone numbers and some notes to the side... description notes of the parties. I said "how the fuck you gonna seat them when my family has been waiting for over 1 hour?" She gonna tell me, "I can seat you now." I called my husband and told them to come inside. As soon as we got seated I asked to speak with the manager. I explain to him what happened and honestly y'all, I did not explode like I normally would have but I did mindfully select a few curse words to express my concerns. There were so many unoccupied tables in there, that were still socially distant. I'm telling the manager there are black people on the list waiting for no reason because there are tables available. I'm telling him the hostess is immediately sitting white people and making black people wait. I don't know what was said or done to the hostess but I got the DM information. I will be calling him Monday. I've been to this location several times and never have experienced racism until last night. I don't know if it was just the hostess doing or if she was told to do it. What I do know is that I'm not giving them my money! My family and I left, without ordering. I will NEVER GO BACK! This is only the beginning of my rant! read more

Two stars because the Salmon was decent and the drink had a good presentation. Everything else was horrendous. The server didn't know what she was doing, she took our order and was real slow on it. When I say slow, I mean really slow (she was probably high off her mind). After she took our order, she disappeared nowhere to be seen for 15 minutes. Our waters and soda were left unfilled nearly the whole time, and we were required to ask the gentleman next to the host to assist us. Once our food has arrived, it looked nowhere close to what we saw on the images. (False advertising pictures on the menu). The waitress then leaves again without refilling our drinks and taking away our appetizer dishes/finished drink cups. With all these dirty dishes now taking up our space, it now makes it harder to eat our unappetizing looking entrees. Now to the food. One of my friend ordered steak with chicken tenders. The steak was stiff as rocks, nearly impossible to cut through and the chicken tenders was pure batter (dry food). My other friend who ordered chicken tenders was green bean did not enjoy his meal either. The green bean was compared to the taste of canned vegetables. My brother ordered wraps which was subpar and try. Ooh which also reminds me, we didn't get our honey mustard and ranch for the chicken tenders/wrap until we were finished with our food...... And the waitress thinks she can make up for it but bringing us 4. We're not going to eat sauce by itself. Lastly, mines was the salmon. The taste was there but presentation was horrid, but guess I can't expect too much from a restaurant who doesn't sell itself for presentation. Word of advice to the store. Your service needs to get better, probably start by weeding out the employees who are probably doing substances before/during work. Word of advice for those who visit. You'd probably wouldn't wanna come until they do something about their service. A restaurant has to either have good service or good food, however, one can't be bad on both. read more

We had a family of 10 coming from 3 different directions, Austin, Plano & Greenville. They don't allow reservations but I had called ahead to give them a heads up since we had a large party & I knew they would be busy on a Saturday at that time. Everyone from the manager, hostess & our waiter were awesome. They had us a table set up off by ourselves that allowed us to visit, everyone at the table ordered something different & the food was delicious. One of the best experience we have had for such a large party. Thank you to all of the staff. read more

Came here for a quick work lunch and liked it enough. They have a good menu but I'm trying to watch what I eat so I ended up with a Cesar salad and chicken noodle soup. The soup is good but they make it great by adding fried chicken skin on top (there goes the diet!!). The Cesar salad comes with a croissant that is topped with some sort of sweet sauce (it sounds weird but its delicious). The food that was coming out smelled great and I was so tempted to order something else. I love that their iced teas are unsweetened (the peach is yummy). Hopefully I'll get a chance to try out the other food on the menu soon. I have to say, our server, Robin, was amazing!! She was friendly, attentive and a laugh riot with us! read more

This review is simply based on my experience with the hostess, the food was good except for the cold spinach dip but I'll get to that. I called ahead to ask what the wait for two would be and they told me there was not a wait at the moment. So I arrive and the hostess tells us that it will be a 20 minute wait. I was okay with that because the location closer to me was on a 1.5 hour wait. So the lady took my number down and repeated it to me to ensure she had it right. She then told me to wait in my car and I would receive a text message when our table was ready. I did just as I was told. After 20 minutes without a text I started to notice that people who were just pulling up and walking in were not coming back out to wait. I called just to make sure we didn't miss our turn and the young lady informed me that they were cleaning off our table and would be getting a text shortly. After 5 minutes I decided to go in and a family of three that walked in before us were immediately sat. The farther even asked the hostess is there not a wait and the hostess said no. So when I explained to the hostess how none of this made sense that we were waiting and other people were being sat she then lied and said that she had texted me and that I did not respond so they continued down the list. That's when I became upset because that was a blatant lie. So she tried to seat us by the kitchen where people would be walking back and forth I informed her that was not going to be a suitable location and she begrudgingly sat us at a more appropriate table. I asked to speak with the manager who came out and apologized for the situation but did not offer us anything to compensate for the inconvenience. Our waiter & waitress were nice they were very attentive. The food was good, we ordered spinach dip as an appetizer (which was cold). I ordered the chicken fried steak my boyfriend got the white fish and fries. We were both satisfied with our meals but will definitely not be coming back. read more

Had to eat yummy lunch at cheddars they never disappoint at this location. Tiki Hubby and I sit at bar and share the buffalo chicken wrap. You can get with either grilled or batter fried chicken both are delicious. Covered in Buffalo sauce wrapped in a large tomato tortilla with coleslaw and dill pickles and ranch dressing.

Decided to try something new since I'm new to the area and what a welcome I received. My food and drinks were great but the dining experience was horrible. I was told I would have a wait which I was ok with another light skinned lady came and sat me down right after I was told I had to wait. I sat down and my shoes are now dirty because of the food that was left from the last person. My server came got my drinks and food but when it was time to go everyone was cleaning as I was trying to eat, so disrespectful and unprofessional being the manager was not far enough to notice everyone cleaning as I'm dining in at 10:36pm. I have photos just prefer to not post here but I will escalate this shit cause I have never experienced this in my life. I'm sure no one would want ppl cleaning while they try to eat read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Hot Fudge Cake Sundae was great - American Near Me - Garland, Texas

Disappointed! I called in a pick up order on my way home from work last night. I ordered 3 chicken Cesar Salads and specifically asked for the whole chicken breast on top to be sliced (not shredded) this is how they used to make it. Needless to say when I got home and opened my salads to find they were shredded. You make a special request and it is not honored. I paid for this food and would like it how I ask for it. There was barely any pasta in it and few croutons. Are we in a recession?? UPDATE: I called the store today spoke with Ethan the manager and explained what had happened he was very gracious and apologetic. Ethan has told me they are to go over the order with their customers to make sure everything is correct. Ethan made it right. I went back to Cheddars and got 3 new salads made exactly to my request. I have attached a picture of how this salad should always be made. Thank you Ethan for making me happy and correcting the problem. read more

Absolutely love Cheddar's. All the food is delicious. Our favorites are ribs and shrimp. Chicken tenders. Chicken fried steak. Caesar salad. And of course the Monte Cristo sandwich. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The restaurant is always clean. And it's very cute. Love the bar area and the huge fish tank as well. Only drawback would be going at a popular time because it can get crowded and there is a wait. They make a mean burger too. read more
