My family and I really enjoy eating at this restaurant. It's consistently good. First off, the location is great. It's nestled in with other restaurants and retail spaces, so if there's a wait, you can easily find something to occupy your time with doing. That being said, the staff does their best to get you seated quickly. In the times that I've been to this location, the food has always been fresh, hot, and delicious. They've started bringing an order of fresh honey butter croissants to each table , which is a great touch. Every time that I've visited this location, the restaurant has been clean and the staff is attentive. My favorite items are the sampler, the coconut shrimp, honey butter croissants, and the buffalo chicken wraps. read more

I came here wanting a good meal and an awesome drink. It took the bar staff a few minutes to greet me. I got a Texas tea and the Dijon chicken with mushrooms. My drink was awesome. My meal came out quickly and before my side salad. It was good but didn't taste super fresh. The second piece of chicken was chewy and I asked for it to be sent back and put on the grill a few minutes (i don't take a chance with chicken) the bartender (Scott) brought me a brand new piece and it was delicious i scarfed it down. Service was just a little slow I had to get silverware from another patron and I had half my meal eaten before anyone checked on me. read more

My Daughters took my wife and I out to dinner for my wife's birthday, last night the service was subpar, the cutlery was dirty with food particles and heavy water spots , the crescent rolls they put out were half baked at best , there is absolutely no Vegan options. When I food arrived approximately 45 minutes later everything was lukewarm, mushy fried shrimp, fries were cold , my chicken fried steak was subpar, the brown gravy look like the add beef bouillon to white gravy, because it looked oddly creamy and gelatinous. Overall this experience was very disappointing and it being my wife's birthday dinner. We will not be returning to Cheddars anytime soon read more

This was my first time at Cheddar and probably my last time. Menu is limited and not much of a selection to offer. They have comfort food, some sea food option, some steak options, soup, salads, and appetizers. The aesthetics of the places gives off vibes of a high end restaurant but its entrees are a disappointment. Offered a chicken grilled fillet with lime seasoning and rice and broccoli. Chicken was overly cooked and dry and rice was overly flavored. The only things that stood out was the croissants that were warmed and drizzled with a sweet flavored creamy mixture and the strawberry lemonade. My husband ordered the home style meatloaf and was below average. For the price I paid and the quality I received I was better off cooking this entrees at home and at a comfort of my house. People definitely overrate Cheddar's scratch kitchen, and thus a honest review would be 2 out of 5. In regard to service they have the iPad to call for servers when needed and ours was being fired and our servers were seen twice talking to each other instead of assisting the customer. read more

Sitting here at Cheddars for over 30 minutes when they come and tell me my order disappeared. How does that happen. If you had checked in on it after 15 minutes of waiting, the problem could have been corrected early. Terrible! read more

Food was very appetizing and cooked correctly. Steak was cooked perfectly, side dishes were flavorful. Every item I ordered was seasoned correctly. Seated quickly, table was clean. Service was fast however, minor misses on service. Forgot the salad and drink, but brought out after. Ambiance was family friendly with great food. Will come back again. read more

Fast and budget friendly meal. My friend and I meet here atleast once a month to catch up and enjoy a meal and adult beverage. It's affordable and delicious but today our trio was a little cold. Our waitress is fast and friendly and the best part she had our croissants ready as soon as we arrive. Will be back again for our girl luncheon and we hope our food will be hotter next time. read more

I despise dishonest people and for the employee that decided to help himself by taking all my money off my gift card for his tip, shame on you!! If you're going to use a gift card for payment and they give you a receipt, ensure you cross out the tip area; because I gave him paper money for a tip as that wasn't enough. read more

I came to dinner here with a friend and had a great time as always! Whenever I'm in town Cheddar's is one of my go-to spots to catch up with friends! Before my salad even came out, our waitress brought out 2 warm Honey Butter Croissants. I don't know when this change happened, but praise the lord that it did! I am OBSESSED with their Honey Butter Croissants. They are delicious and perfect in every way and I'll be visiting more often now that I know they serve them with every meal. I do remember back in the day when you had to request a croissant just to get it with your salad. I try to make healthier choices when eating out, so I ordered the Coconut Shrimp with a house salad and baked potato (even though I LOVE their chicken pot pie). I don't know why, but I always love when someone else makes my salad and of course loved their house salad with eggs, tomatoes and cheese. I've never had coconut shrimp before, but I really enjoy theirs! After eating so many it was a tad bit too sweet, but I felt very satisfied after my meal. read more

Again, okay Killeen!! On a Sunday after church a group of us (11) decided to dine here for lunch. The biggest issue was no reservations and the call ahead option did not seem to make our extensive (+1 hr) wait any shorter. The manager did his part by keeping us informed of the situation, thanking us for our patience and gave our table complimentary appetizers. Now, I have not eaten at a Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in years so when I tell you that the food was good... it was good. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken, carrots and broccoli casserole with a side of low expectations. What a surprise!! The chicken was seasoned perfectly, juicy, and hot seemingly from pot to plate. Tasty too were the side dishes. Everyone enjoyed their meals with the exception of one person whose steak was cooked "too too" well done and was extremely dry. Overall, despite the wait Cheddars Scratch Kitchen- Killeen has found a friend in me!! read more

I placed an order through the cheddar's app for two entrees and sides. I pick up my food and make it home only to realize there is no sides in my bag. I called the restaurant to speak to a manager and after a very long wait time I spoke to manager that apologize and said she will replace the side. I get a call back five minutes later by one of the waiter stating the manager said my side show up when the order was placed through the app and if I want my sides, I will need to pay extra money out-of-pocket in order to get them. I explain to the waiter the sides are included with the entrées. She goes on to explain that something I would have to speak to the manager about. I asked the waiter may I speak to manager and she left me a hold for almost 20 minutes only to come back to the phone to let me know the managers are not available and feel free to leave my name ams number and I will get a call back This was two days ago and I still have not received a callback. Very unprofessional worst service ever. read more

Usually I enjoy the food and service at this restaurant, however today, what was supposed to be a happy occasion turned into a nightmare for my family. We waited more than an hour to get seated and was only seated after we spoke to a manager. Our order got messed up, we didn't get our salads until after our meal, which took more than an hour to arrive (cold) after we ordered. To make it worse one person didn't even receive their meal. This was one of the worst experience of our lives. My family will never eat at this restaurant again. Take you money somewhere else, the food was Okay, but the service was horrible. Arrived at restaurant; 5:30 pm, left at 8:45 and everyone didn't get their meal. read more

Went in before 4:30 on a Tuesday. Wasn't even busy and couldn't even get seated. Waited about 7 or 8 minutes trying to get someone's attention. Walked out. read more

oh my gosh! We walked in one hour before they closed. There were only four tables scattered out. Our server had only us and after we ordered our food, it took over an hour to come out we started complaining, and it was coming out slowly where one person would be eating and the other one waiting and the other one gets its food and the other one waiting it was just scattered, the food was luke warm, very poor poor MANAGEMENT and of course what kind of cook is back there!! read more

This place of amazing improvements but their foods is not. Beautiful and well-done meal, but sadly, it seems their food always end up making me sick after eating any kind of order. Idk if its the ingredients they're using or their silverware are not clean enough. My son found dirt ones, and fork was dent, sharp enough to cut ur finger. Pretty disappointment, I love that place! read more

As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted by welcoming smiling faces. Every employee we walked by smiled, welcomed us, and wished us a great night. The food was amazing too! My husband and I's date night is usually Razzoos, but with such friendly service, great food, and reasonable prices? How could Cheddars not be our new go to spot?! Definitely can't wait for our next date night! read more

Terrible service and terrible food. Thought we'd try it out on a Wednesday late afternoon and it wasn't busy. Will never go back!!!

Food has always been great, service top notch. I order the ribeye nearly every time, I have never received it less than perfect. Always exactly medium. read more

Our first time here, and will not be our last. We were seated right away by the friendly hostess. Our table was clean and ready to go. The server, Colton, was ON IT. Being a holiday, they were both short staffed and busy. He was flying low. We got our drinks in a timely fashion and he took our order. We shared the talapia with shrimp, and, oh, my, am I glad we shared. It was a LOT of food! The Cajun seasoning on the shrimp was fantastic. Perfect mix of spice and savory. Hubby had the baked potato with bacon all to himself, I dug into the super yummy cheesy broccoli. The bill was reasonable, even with the foofoo drinks. Great job all around. read more

The food was okay however we had 3 crickets fall on our table while we were eating, assuming they were falling out the AC vents. Then when we looked under the table and there was no kidding about 20 dead ones. Only eat here if you love crickets. The service was fine and the food was not the best but it was edible. Wish I woulda took pictures. read more

One of our favorite restaurants to go out to. Never disappointed with their service or food. They have the best chips and queso which makes for a great appetizer. The meals come in very large portions, it's like two meals for the price of one. I always leave with a to go box for lunch the next day. read more

Food is great, but the staff at bar area and front door sucked. The staff at front door had a trash can right by them with overflow trash on the floor and not of the 3 of them thought to empty it. The bar totally ignored us while we were looking for the take out area and one finally said something and call my wife honey in a derogatory way. There are ways to use terms of endearment but, you should show respect to your elders. So other than that I will someday eat there again for the great tasting food and reasonably priced. Much better than Bubba's. read more

I am not going to lie .. if you are like hungry please go to another restaurant. All the food to me tasted like not fresh. It tasted old. I give it a three because the service was great but I literally only went because my friends wanted to go. read more

Food was sooo good. Definitely going back to try different things on the menu. Carrot cake was

Awful costumer service . I ordered a chicken Alfredo and my chicken was raw , I asked my server so have it cooked a little longer and she looked bothered and took it . She brought us our warm croissant until an hour later. No refills , just disappointing for a Mother's Day visit . :( read more

Will never go there again. Food allergies are a joke to them. And most staff are clueless. Overall extremely bad experience. And the food wasn't so great either. read more

OMG didn't even get my food yet and my Stankin Fork had pubic hair on it!!! This is so disgusting! Me and my family can't eat here no more. If you do come just eat the chicken tenders and the croissant are to die for. read more

Poor food quality. I was hopeful that I'd get a great meal. The croissants were burnt. Food was subpar. Please pass if you have to.

A group of us ate at Cheddar's after a funeral. The food came quickly (we were starving and happy) and was delicious. Only issues were, they delivered our appetizer's with no plates And we hadn't even received our drinks so we were trying to eat without plates, but not eat too much so we wouldn't be thirsty. Lol, they fixed it but it took a little too long. That is the reason for the 4We had honey buttered croissants, Spinach Dip, Kickin Chicken, Pot Pie, Potato Soup, Philly Cheese, Fried Shrimp, Salmon w/Mango Salsa...and other dishes I can't remember. read more

I was in Cheddas lastnight, when my friend and I was seated the side of the booth I was going to seat at was very wet. I saw a girl with the bucket they clean the tables with and asked if she could wipe the water off the set. She half ass wiped it and says done. I looked and it was still water on the seat. I asked for some of her napkins, she gave me 2, I asked for more then she hands me half the stack, I then ask why didn't she wipe it completely dry, she just rolled her eyes at me. I wiped the set dry and she's walking away to the table behind me. I asked why was walking away and she said nothing so I threw the napkins on the table she's about to clean. So, we ate no problem. We're outside leaving then the tall slim Manger with the bad teeth (white guy) comes running behind us asking me why I threw the napkins at the girl (which I didn't). We had words and he was very nasty and rude to me so I cussed him out. This Manger and the girl should be fired because she lied to him which caused him to come to me with this lie and talk to me very unacceptably. read more

Well I wish I could give an actual review but when we went to eat there we were told it was a 20 minute wait for 2....issue was that we could see from the hostess stand about 4 empty tables and then walking back to our vehicle looking in the windows as we were walking there was 6 more empty tables.... read more

The food is always hot and fresh and the service is usually pretty good. If I'm ever wanting to treat myself I go here.

17 year veteran chef here The standard experience you would expect from a restaurant. We ordered and shared the coconut shrimp as well as an appetizer of the same. We ordered a kids plain hamburger as well. The reason for not giving the 4th and 5th stars is because I had to repeat myself several times regarding the appetizer, the kids plain hamburger came out with cheese then the re-fire took 20 minutes. Even in a busy kitchen a rush order kids burger shouldn't take that long. The quality was mostly standard. Good, but nothing to write home about. Portions were decent. The pain killer sauce is not very good. It's overly sweet and uses what tastes like piña colada daiquiri mix. They really need to balance it out with an acid like lemon juice and maybe a bit of pepper, less mix. read more

Waited about 5 years before going back to give this Cheddars another shot. Our server was GREAT!, however... the food was overall BAD! Tasted microwaved at best. read more
