We recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Cheddars. The waiter was wonderful, the food was great & he even served the cake we brought in. read more

Decided to make this my final dinner in the valley before heading back to NYC. My sister told me this location was better than the Brownsville location so I was excited to chow down on some delicious favorites before heading back! We called in our order at 6:37 and were headed that direction when they said it would be ready in 13 minutes. I thought that was an ambitious ETA considering we had ordered spinach dip, key west chicken and shrimp, chicken tenders and two sirloins PLUS sides. We arrived and sat in the parking lot for roughly...30 minutes... 7:10 rolls around and it's ready to take home. My chicken and shrimp was delicious, a little cold but nonetheless good. The chips for our dip were crunched and no longer whole, and my moms steak was rare (should've been medium rare). Chips were super salty! read more

My wife and I don't normally eat at chain restaurants but we hadn't tried a Cheddar's and decided to eat lunch at this new one on Expressway 83. We were seated promptly in spite of the lunch rush and perused the menu. Since we are both trying to lose some weight, we were pleased to find a lite menu selection which included calories. She ordered the salmon and brocolli and I ordered the Baja chicken with rice and black beans, both of which were under 500 calories. Both dishes were very tasty and we were stuffed when we finished. The server had asked us if this was our first time there and we replied that it was. About halfway through the meal the manager came to our table and asked us if everything was good. He even brought us each a chocolate chip cookie (which didn't help the diet)! All in all, it was a delightful meal and we will definitely go back. read more

Great service and amazing honey croissants as appetizers. All meals delivered hot and perfectly cooked. Cocktail prices are very reasonable. Will be back. read more

Restaurant has downgraded on cleaning their tables and keeping their main area clean. The food has gotten awful as well. Ordered fires with cheese appetizer and it was mainly oily and overcooked fries. We found paper wraps as well in the appetizer. The main food was okay but the steak was dry and tough. Even though it was requested medium on the steak. This has been an unexpected experience since the McAllen location has way better everything. Such a disappointment. read more

This place is a joke. Last three times salad came out, entree right behind it. We have really tried to give this place a chance. Food is mediocre at best. Service has always been shoddy. We live two minutes away. Sad really. Won't go back. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Eating my salad while the entree sits. - Comfort Food Near Me - Harlingen, Texas

First time visiting this location and food was great, but service could take some work. Waiter was not very attentive and took quite a while to receive my drink. read more

Great drinks. I love the margaritas. Food is always fresh and their chicken pecan salad is awesome! One recommendation is for the waitresses and waiters to be a bit more genuine. I get it. We all gotta hustle to make that dough, but don't be fake to get points. It is a little irritating. But other than that-- great drinks at a great price. Good food for a reasonable price as well! read more

The 6oz sirloin on the lunch menu is outstanding. Have eaten there twice and both times it was great. The service was also very good and we enjoyed the lunch. read more

Is the best place for family me and my family went there and it was awesome service everything was good all the food is great also the alcohol was good too and also you have little things for children to play with I honestly recommend it and don't skip dessert where is your is really good 10 out of 10 also the also have a bar it's great if you're going out with your friends read more

the grilled chicken alfredo, is 0/10 there's no flavor and it's undercooked and the all the pasta they have, not worth the reviews.

If there was a half star option,I'd have chosen that one! This was my second time there and the entire experience was bad to say the least. Our waitress Chelsea did not seem to be happy to work last night,she didn't make eye contact,was asked several times for the same items,ignored us most of the time and Juan,a co-worker of hers had to pick up her slack w/his kindness even tho he was also busy w his own tables.The steak plates were mostly filled w the sides and wasn't what we expected. I could go on but I'm just gonna say,we were left very disappointed and definitely not going back. #not.recomended read more

I've been a fan of Cheddar's for 5 years now, but after tonight I may never go back. At least to the one in Harlingen. I've been to Cheddar's in Brownsville and Corpus Christi, but I've never felt so neglected until last night. I just got out of a 12 hour shift at the hospital, and I wanted to enjoy what was left of the night with my family. We went to Cheddar's, and there wasn't a wait; we were seated immediately. I normally get the vegetable plate, I've seen it change throughout the years. I was devastated when they got rid of the sweet potato side. Last night my husband and I shared the maple bacon burger. We cut it in half, and plated it on separate plates. We each took a bite, and decided that the chicken wasn't up to par, so we set it aside. Our son, who is only 9 months, was getting hungry so I gave him the tomato from the burger. We waited for a couple minutes until our waitress came back to report that we didn't like the food. It looked like we ate the whole burger, but how sad is it, that we each took one bit, and the burger was almost gone. The waitress comes back and says "You should've told me earlier." Our food had just been served 5-10 minutes ago, how much earlier could we have told her? She hadn't passed by to ask us how the food was. I was tired, and wanted to go home. My husband insisted that we tell the waitress, because I was still hungry. The waitress was told, and she called the manager that came to our table shortly. I explained to the manager that we didn't want to make a scene, and that we weren't happy with the food. She asked us if there was something she could get us to replace the food, but I just wanted to go home. I thought maybe they'd have the decency to comp the meal, that we didn't even eat/ enjoy. They didn't compensate us in any way. The waitress brought the receipt with nothing changed. We were still hungry from our disappointing entree that we ordered dessert. I couldn't even enjoy my dessert after everything that happened that night. It's sad to say it's the little things that cost restaurants life time customers. read more

Having previously eaten at Cheddar's at other locations, I never expected to receive what I received yesterday at the new Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in Harlingen, TX. I visited this new location with my wife and mother in law on Sunday afternoon (4/8/18). Their plates were properly proportioned and they had zero complaints about their food quantity or quality. The issue was with my plate, a New Orleans Pasta, traditionally this plate combines a Cajun staple of Chicken, Sausage, Shrimp and penne pasta in a Cajun inspired sauces and spices. While my plate was well served with hefty serving of Pasta, Sausage and Shrimp, it was missing the Chicken all together. After a few bites, I moved the Pasta and other ingredients around to ensure that I was not just having issues with my eyes and did not find 1 piece of Chicken within the plate, I flagged down my server and confirmed with her that the plate was supposed to contain Chicken. For some odd reason, she did not seem very surprised when I asked her to please bring me a member of Management. I continued to slowly eat my meal until some 8 - 9 minutes later a female dressed in Kitchen styled apparel came to my table and asked what was the problem? I told her that my plate was supposed to contain Chicken, but there was none. She looked at me incredulously and asked me if I was sure, my Wife turned to look at her and she immediately realized that she was not going win any argument with my wife, so she said, she would bring me serving of protein (which I believed to be a piece of chicken). Initially I waited about 4 or 5 minutes for my plate of "protein" and then my hunger won out and I continued to eat my Chicken less New Orleans Pasta. All 3 of finished our plates and the plate of protein never arrived, I called my server over for my tab and she asked if everything had been good, I jokingly told her that the kitchen staff was out back chasing my chicken. When my server returned with my tab, she was accompanied by the same older lady that apologized for not bringing out the Chicken, so she made me a brand new plate of New Orleans Pasta. Being that I had already eaten, I asked for a "to go" box and I brought the plate home with me. Well guess what? I just took it out off the Fridge and warmed it up for a Late Lunch and lo and behold...NO CHICKEN again! While I understand a mistake can happen in a fast paced kitchen environment, the lack of professionalism my Kitchen Managers to ensure all plates are complete and served properly is inexcusable, compounded by the failure to live up to a verbal promise to make it right on the spot, and last but not least providing me with another serving of New Orleans Pasta with NO CHICKEN is flat out ridiculous. I don't want to hold this against the entire chain, but some serious re-training of the Harlingen Kitchen staff is recommended as is personal apology by a member of Management. read more

Probably one of the worst places my family has ever gone to. Went there for my dad and mom's Anniversary, we ordered our food and almost a hour later we received nothing.we looked at the window that showed the kitchen and saw nobody cooking our order just the staff cleaning.I don't recommend this to family's but if your going by yourself give it a try,you might get order. read more

Sat at the bar and enjoyed conversation with bartender Juan. Sirloin steak with Mac and cheese was outstanding. Hubby had chicken walnut salad with ranch dressing lots of chicken and walnuts. Beer was cold, great atmosphere. Will be back soon. read more

I have been driving all the way from weslaco to this location, while on the way I was on the phone trying to place to place a to go order But was placed on hold, when someone finally answered and asked how they could assist, I asked if I could place an order; only to be told to "hold on", and they put me on hold again. When I finally got here the place was not even busy and I was actually able to be seated. Now I am currently waiting on my food, to go, when it could've been ready as soon as I got here. And to top it all off, they did not give me the dinner portion that I ordered. read more

First off I love cheddars. The food is good and very reasonable prices. For the most part the service is amazing. We usually go to the one in mcallen but we were in Harlingen so we stopped by the one in Harlingen. I was somewhat disappointed in the service from the get go. We ordered our drinks and they took a looong time and when we got them my glass was not full and I had very little ice. We then preceded to order and the order took a loooonnnnggg time to get to us as well. When we got the order I did not get my sides ughh. Didn't enjoy my experience. Love my mcallen cheddars good thing I don't live in Harlingen read more

Food and store are great... One main gripe is how do you run out of potatoes every weekend... RIDICULOUS, everytime I go my wife and I love to order your hash for breakfast and more 3/4 of the times we've gone in the last few years you are out?? ORDER MORE ? read more

Homemade great home style cooking. Recommend the chicken pot pie! Long wait time only drawback. Make sure you get cookies for first visit!

Food was really good, however the service completely ruined the experience. Our food came out missing several items, and we had to ask repeatedly for drink refills and extra sauces. Our waiter couldn't even remember what each person ordered. read more

VERY VERY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!! The manager was EXTREMELY RUDE!!! we ordered online and when we picked up or food we didn't even receive our sides so we called and asked what we can do & the manager said it was OUR fault because we apparently did not order correctly when we clearly knew what we ordered and had the screenshot of our ticket. MCALLEN HAS WAY BETTER SERVICE THAN THIS!! do not recommend coming here. read more

We have been there about 3 times and we are always seated in a timely manner. They are accommodating with substitutions with ingredients for the kids who can be picky. read more

Group of 5 arrived at 1145am; at 1pm we finally called the manager to tell him we were still waiting for our meals, only two out of our party have gotten their salads at that point. Waiter kept coming and telling us he was having issues with another table. Manager finally came to our table and went to check in on our orders, ten minutes later we got our food. During all that time we never got offered refills for our drinks. read more

My family and I have been going to cheddars for a long time now. Unfortunately we were greatly disappointed last night. My wife and I decided to share a maple bacon sandwich. We cut it in half each took a bite and tasted how rubbery the chicken was, we decided to finish our cheese fries and other sides. We weren't there very long but our waitress brought out ticket and that's when we let her know we didn't eat it and that if our ticket could be fixed. She took our plates and a little while later than manager met us at our table and asked what she could do and I let her know that we didn't even eat our sandwich and that we were unsatisfied. She tried to offer another plate and we kindly declined since we were starting to realize our son was sleepy and ready to home to sleep. When I received my "new" ticket I was still charged for the sandwich and did not receive a remake on my order. I think cheddars may have lost my business, my family and I go at least once or twice a week but we were not properly taken care of nor did the manager try to make things right. read more

Ordered from here twice. Both times they screwed up my orders. Their moto is "scratch made" yet they don't make to order. My wife didn't get her dinner because they wouldn't make it how we ordered it... was take out. No compensation. Not even a sorry from the manager. Needless to say, we won't be going to this establishment again. read more

Andre did great ask for him. Javier, ask for him too. Great and attentive service. Wife loves the bourbon glazed salmon. It's all great

The food tastes good when I'm eating but I've had 4 occasions where after I eat here I get sick. I'm thinking it's the oil that is used. I'm not sure if it's reused or if it's vegetable oil? read more

The Harlingen location has the worst service. I went in for lunch at 1:15pm and had to walk out at 1:40pm since they didn't even offer me a drink order after waiting for 25 minutes in a table without being acknowledged at all. read more

I usually love coming to Cheddar's the people are usually nice, but today I got a waiter that was so rude and when I asked for a new waiter his attitude completely changed. The food was so cold I guess it had been sitting there for a while. After this experience I would not go again. read more

I had to wait 15 minutes for them to come over and ask for our drinks, when they came back they forgot two of the five drinks we ordered. Food was good... chicken tenders were bland, it's what you'd expect. Overall my favorite thing was the straws, they were nice! read more

This was our first visit to this location and the food was good. Unfortunately, our waitress was extremely rude and we had to request a didn't one. The manager did oblige but I felt like he could have done more about the situation. read more

I went to Cheddars the service was very good and so was the food. My issue is with the description I had the meatloaf which was described as 2 thick slices well they were far from being thick even when you put them together. I was very disappointed in the portion. It was good so I swallowed my pride and purchased a carryout for my husband. Again the service was great but compared to other meals I've had at Cheddars this was disappointing. read more

Six for dinner and four of our meals were cold and no dressing for a salad. After reading other reviews, this seems to be a trend. Our waiter was not attentive. Did not refill water or do more than apologize for cold food. If I do return, I will specify I want hot food. read more

Food here is excellent. But I took off one star because a lot of time what you order isn't available. We wanted chocolate cake dessert at lunch and were told they wouldn't be ready until 2:00. Also the croissants didn't come out with salad because they were running behind getting them baked and out to serve. I would suggest the baker come in early and get baking so they have available what's on the menu!! read more

I have never been to a Cheddar's restaurant before. I received a few free gift cards to attend their grand opening, but couldn't make it, so I decided to go a few weeks later with a friend and our daughters. Walking into the restaurant, my first impression was that it was very clean, updated and had a really great family-friendly, lodge-style feel. Upscale, but not pretentious at all. It felt like the type of place you would visit on a weekend getaway at the lake. There were lots of people with little kids and even infants there. It's pretty loud, so you don't have to feel like you're a disruption if you plan to bring young kids. The servers and staff were super helpful and professional. When we walked in, my daughter was carsick and they even offered her a complimentary soft drink to settle her stomach. I ordered the steak and ribs combo platter and it was perfectly cooked and delicious. One of the guests at our table wanted to order the spasagna, but sadly, they were sold out. That was a bit of a disappointment. Overall the food and cocktails were very good. Everything was perfectly cooked, the place was clean and comfortable, and the staff was so, so nice. My only criticism (if you can call it that) is that I wish the food was more unique. It would have been nice to try the spasagna or another dish that was a bit more unique to Cheddar's. I think I'll definitely go back again and try a few more items to see what else they offer...and I'll absolutely be getting the steak and ribs again too! read more

A group of friend's and I went to go eat there Friday night to celebrate a friends B-day and we told our waiter that we were waiting for three of our friends to get there. Well he kept going like every second and asking if we were ready to order. (felt rushed) Then finally we were ready and we ordered mix drinks and our food. He finally came with our mix drinks Glasses were HOT melted our drinks fast, did not enjoyed that. Then he drops a tequila shot on my friend and all he said sorry, left the mess on the floor didn't bother cleaning it. Didn't even ask if my friend if she was okay or how wet she got. We wanted more mixed drinks but decided not to get more due to glasses being hot. We asked for cold drinks (cokes, tea) well brought them out and never came back to ask for refills until we got his attention. Worst waiter we got that night. Oh then when he was taking our money he has the nerve to tell us he had only gotten $20.00 of tip all night. Well I wonder why, but we didn't need to know that. Would we go back probably yes but if we would get the same waiter I would ask for someone else. Sorry not sorry read more
