The food was ok, but all of it was lukewarm or cold. One in our party talked to our server about the temperature and she spoke to the manager. We were charged full price for cold dinners. read more

I am not normally a chain eater but I went along because my co-workers chose and I hadn't been in a while. I ordered the Swiss Mushroom Burger with a side of steamed broccoli, nothing to write home about. The burger, to my surprise was served perfectly cooked and was delicious. Normally burgers can be overdone with too much cheese. It had just the right amount of mushrooms. The broccoli should have been hotter but was edible. I would go back, but not until after Lent! read more

Ate here last night with a friend and it was delicious! Great service and drinks! Did I mention there was a full bar? I had them to make me a French Martini (Grey Goose, Chabord, and pineapple juice) and a Grey Hound (vodka, grapefruit juice with a splash of pineapple juice. I had to add a splash of mango in the grey hound to tone down the grapefruit which was really good. Talk about perfect!! The atmosphere was very nice as well! We tried everything on the menu it seems. From the Ribs to the Key West Chicken and Shrimp, carrots, broccoli and cheese, red beans and rice which were all good! Can't wait to return for some good ol' eaten (in my country voice, lol)! read more

Service was horrible from host to waitress...we waited over 40 min for our food asked several times for water drinks & croissant that goes with our salad..We had finally gotten our food & the waitress gives us the check not asking us once if food was good or if came out ok & what if we had wanted dessert...Not A dining experience I would recommend to anyone. read more

I'll never give 1 or 2 stars for a restaurant because I don't feel that does any good and it takes a lot to be that bad. I just got home after ordering takeout and I ordered the buffalo grilled chicken wrap. Well it's only grilled chicken minus the buffalo sauce. Not a big deal, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get a to-go order that is right when I leave this place. I blame the cook not doing his or her job and lack of management oversight. I think I've given up on to-go orders here. read more

Short staffed and even clearing tables is slow so service suffers. Steak was very good and not over cooked; green beans could have stayed in the pot about 8 min longer; broccoli cheese casserole was killer; shrimp very good; salad was good also and lime-honey dressing was really good. A very good meal especially for the price. read more

The food was great, but the service was unacceptable. Two different waiters bright food to our table that we didn't order. After twice requesting an appetizer, it was never delivered to our table, with no explain given. Thankfully it wasn't our any of our bills. Our waiter was rude to us; one of my friends ordered a mango tea, but was brought a refill of strawberry tea. When he pointed this out, the waiter was very defensive about it and argued with us (we weren't trying to make it a big deal, but there were literally strawberries floating in it). Then, we he brought us our checks, he stood around and watched us sign and leave our tips, which I found to be quite rude. All in all, not a great experience and won't be coming back any time soon. read more

The food was amazing, quick service and super friendly. And it is a very clean welcoming establishment.

I once really liked this place however the last 2 times we have been there it has not been good. I believe it is way understaffed. Our food was not correct on 2 of the 4 orders at our table. We ran out of of water early and it didn't get refilled until we asked and it was time to go. The waiter was doing the best he could however I do not believe he was given the support needed to succeed at his job. read more

Just verified credit card statement and noted that $6.00 tip was added to ticket. Won't be going back. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

Went here last night for my birthday. The service was great the food was great even the prices on the food. But the drinks on the other hand not so much. I got a piña colada which was good and the price was $6.50 but my husband got a crown and coke and it was the size of a shot glass! So tiny couldn't even hold it. Spilling every where. And he's tiny drink was $6.95! Very disappointed in the drink prices here. read more

See all

I've eat here between 50-60 times. NEVER disappointed! I've tried almost every thing on the menu. Food's GREAT! Price is Very Affordable. Service is Always Perfect. If I eat out any where else I find myself comparing it to Cheddars. Be sure to try the spin-dip! It's the best! O.K. now I'm Hungry! read more

Cheddar's is a "Casual Café" located on 210 North Anderson Lane in Hendersonville, Tennessee. This is a great location because it is near the mall and several other different businesses, and the drive is only minutes away. It is open Sundays through Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00a.m. to 12:00a.m. It is one of the few restaurants in this area that will serve customers late. Parking is always usually always available; however, on days when they are overcrowded, it can be difficult to find a close spot, but there are spaces in the back that are relatively close. On weekends, when Cheddar's is at is busiest, the wait can range from twenty to forty-five minutes, but it is worth the wait. Cheddar's is a very popular food chain in this area. It has a relaxed and home like atmosphere. The exterior is made up of stone which gives it an earthy tone, and there is a stone water fountain in front outside. The interior is mostly made up of wood and brown and tan tiles. When customers walk in, they are warmed by the fireplace that lies next to the host stand. In the middle of the dining room are two large tropical paddle fans that keep the customers cool. By the bar is a huge fish aquarium that contains an abundance of colorful and unique fish, which is also visible from the dining room. The tables are made of a dark wood and the customer has their choice of sitting at either a booth, individual tables, or outside. In each hall there is a large flat screen television on the wall located on both ends of the hall. They serve a variety of. American food, such as chicken, steak, ribs, seafood, and pasta entrées. They also have burgers, salads, kid's meals, and garden vegetables; customers can also order their meals to-go. They provide an assortment of different kinds of soft drinks and teas, and there is a bar that sells several alcoholic and virgin drinks. They are well known for their fruity teas, which come in a variety of different flavors, such as strawberry, raspberry, mango, banana, peach, and lemon. At the bottom are tiny bits of fruit that makes them taste even better, and these flavors can even be mixed together. According to the Cheddar's website, all of their food is homemade and well prepared from scratch. A favored dish to start out with is the Santa Fe Spinach Dip ($4.99), which is prepared with a mix of spinach, Southwestern spices, four different types of cheeses, and is top with a scoop of sour cream in the middle and is served with homemade salsa and crunchy tortilla chip. This appetizer also comes with free tortilla chip refills. The prices at Cheddar's are very reasonable, more so than other restaurants. Many of their prices range from $3.99 to $10.99 for appetizers and entrée, and they serve noticeably large portions for these low prices. After ordering an entrée, it takes some time to arrive because the cooks take their time to freshly prepare each dish to perfection. A highly recommended dish is the Key West Chicken and Shrimp ($9.49). It consists of a well-prepared marinated chicken breast topped with grilled shrimp, pineapple Pico de Gallo, and other spices all on top of a bed of savory seasoned rice. The meal also comes with a side of bourbon glaze and two side dishes of your choice. From personal experience, each meal seems to be better than the last. A personal favorite is the Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa ($9.49). The tilapia is properly seasoned with an abundance of garden herbs and spices and grilled to perfection. It is topped with grilled blackened shrimp and their homemade mango salsa all served on a bed of rice and two side dishes. The employees at Cheddar's always provide excellent customer service. The hosts at the front desk always greet people with a smile and an upbeat attitude. They are very patient and take the time to find and seat people at their desired tables. Servers are enthusiastic, polite, and attentive. Many servers are very familiar with the menu and are unafraid to suggest which dishes are the most delectable and better for your money. Even on nights when Cheddar's is very busy, servers remain relaxed and accurately take everyone's orders and make sure to bring them as quickly as possible. Before seating guests, employees make sure to thoroughly clean their table and that all silverware is spotless and neatly wrapped up before it is giving to the customer. Overall, Cheddar's receives four and a half stars out of five because of its relaxing and casual environment, its homemade dishes, and great customer service. The only issues is that they are sometime crowded, and the wait is usually a couple of minutes. The noise level in Cheddar is also very loud, which many people may find unpleasant. Despite these issues, Cheddar's is still a well-visited restaurant in this area for their delicious food and reasonable prices. read more

Tried it because we have tried all the other chains in the area. Nothing new here. The service was horrible , food was ok. Typical for this area. When your competing against other average chain restaurants your standards don't have to be all that high. They met the minimum. Not much higher. read more

My wife and are enjoying Cheddars at this location for the first time. We were both a bit hungry so we decided to come here. For vegetarians the entree list is just one item: The vegetable plate, but after choosing the salad you have four sides to select from about ten items. About half of the appetizers are vegetarian friendly. We decided on the onion rings which were interestingly stacked in two tall stacks interlaced quite artistically with Cajun sauce and ranch dressing to choose from for dipping. Desserts look scrumptious but we were full before we got to that point. Ambience is quite nice with the dark wood panels and ceiling. Background music is the only drawback - it ranged from so-so to noise, thus 4 stars instead of 5. Waitstaff were very good, courteous and efficient and friendly. read more

We wanted to try something different for lunch, and I'm glad we gave Cheddars a try. The Texas Cheese Fries jumped off the menu at us, and they were great. Crispy fries, ooey-gooey cheese, bacon, and ranch dip made for a real treat. Even without getting fries with our sandwiches, we couldn't finish the cheese fries. My wife had the mushroom burger, and she liked it. I was delighted to find a Monte Cristo on the menu, and was even more delighted when I got it. It was piled high with the meat and cheese and fried in a crunchy batter. It was undoubtedly the best Monte Cristo I've had outside the Magic Kingdom. Since we already had the cheese fries, I got the coleslaw with my sandwich, and it was only alright. read more

11/17 Went for lunch. 15 min wait. Were sat at a dirty table with dirty dishes on all the tables around us. Got the queso as app and i think it was rotel and velveeta barely warmed up. Gross. I got a ckicken pot pie. Took almost an hour and it was not done. And by not done, I mean the 'crust' was soft and the inside was cold. I almost think it wasnt even cooked. My friend had a montecristo sandwich and it looked like part of it had been eaten. Had to go get silverware and it was dirty. Couldnt get a single napkin. Waitress never checked on us and no manager visited the table. 2nd time was worse than the first which was why i was willing to try once more. OMG. Will never be back. read more

Had waited 35 minutes for food to come out. Seen other people sit after us, order, eat and leave....we were still waiting. Kept asking waiter about food status. He kept saying its almost ready. Finally got manager to come out. She (female Pinocchio) started saying "Oh they dropped your chicken fingers on the floor. Had to wait for a new batch to be made". At the same time while sitting there, seen multiple orders of chicken fingers being delivered to other tables??? That had ordered after us. Food finally came out. No apologies, just a " I will take something off the bill". My guess the order was not put in system...manager wanted to make up a story about dropped order. "Fake news". read more

Today was an awful experience. We were told 15-20 minutes for a table, it ended up being over 40. There were empty tables all over the restaurant. Finally got to our table, ordered drinks fairly quickly, then waited another 10 minutes for them to arrive and lunch ordered. It was obvious they were understaffed. Another 20 minutes goes by and a table next to us that was seated easily 15 minutes after us gets their appetizers. We wait another 7ish minutes. Table next to us gets their meal. We're still waiting. Food arrives several minutes later. One meal had black beans that had been sitting under the heat lamp they were completely dried out. One meal had cold broccoli and another had cold mashed potatoes. We asked to see a manager and that never happened. Not the usual Cheddar's experience we've had. Very very disappointed. read more

Great prices and decent food. Big meals. Everything would be good but the service nowadays is horrible. Been 2-3 times and almost every time - terrible. They used to be much better. read more

We had a birthday dinner tonight with a party of 10. We were told in advance that there would be a long wait due to being short staffed. We were okay with that. Once we were seated our server Jonathan was amazing! He was patient with us while we all were deciding what to have, our food was very good. Jonathan made sure to check on us often to see if we needed anything. He never let a glass go empty before bringing a refill, everything anyone asked for he got to us quickly and never left anything off. I have not had service this great at a restaurant in a very long time! In today's world with every business struggling to get fully staffed and being busy, good service is very hard to come by! Jonathan did great and definitely made everyone in our party happy with our experience. read more

Recently, my mother wanted me to explore the deep South and she told me that this place embodies the culture and charm that the South has to offer. I got the full southern experience thanks to amazing waitress Sophie. Her southern accent was so sweet and the food was so good!!! A group of friends and I met up with some bumble BFFs and we had a great experience. read more

Arrived at 5:40 pm and asked to sit outside on a weather-wonderful evening. Sat down near two different parties who were smoking in the "No Smoking" patio and not receiving a drink order until 6:15 pm after moving inside. read more

The food is pretty good and a huge quantity of it. The service is over all good the place is often packed but the good comes out fast and the people are very nice. Also the pricing is very good also table of 6 was less than 55 bucks read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Well the union rings are good... And a lot of them - Comfort Food Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Service was horrible. Got put in a ladies area named Amanda, it took her about 5 min (after being asked) for a refill. She paid no attention to her area what so ever. read more

Me my 15 month son and my father who is handicapped in a wheelchair went to this establishment. Not only did the host look at us like we were crazy but she did not great us at all. No hello, hey, anything. I ended up saying hello we want a table for three. She asked the name. Told her our name three times till she got it and was rude as hell about it. She said it will be a fifteen minute wait. So we wait I see on her seating chart after fifteen minutes three tables that came in after us are seated. No big deal we have a wheel chair maybe we need to wait for the accommodations. One whole hour goes by and 12 people are seated after we came in. We left and spent money at fugi. Better food anyways. Probably should get it together cheddars. P.s if the manager sees this the lady hosting was a blond fat lady in her 40s for sure who seems like she hates her life on Christmas Eve. read more

Cheddar's has been a long time favorite place to eat of mine. The food is great and the service quick and friendly despite how busy they are. However, in the past year, the Cheddar's located on Indian Streets Lake, I have noticed the place losing its appeal a bit. Some of the benches need replacing, and there has been food droppings, trash behind the bench, in the cracks, and under the table. This is not what I want to see when I'm out for a meal with friends. Probably just needs a good overall cleaning and/or checking for repairs. read more

We went for dinner on Saturday night. Not too long of a wait. At our table I told the waitress about a gluten allergy as I ordered off your gluten friendly menu. I ordered the steak and ribs with vegetables. Food took a long time to arrive, of course mine had onion straws under the steak. When the waitress came back she seemed annoyed that I wanted a new dish. She assured me they would recook it all, as if there was another option. Needless to say my family had cold food by the time mine arrived. A manager brought it, no apology, nothing! Well, I don't know what your kitchen staff did when they redid my meal but I have been sick all night. There is no doubt they did something to my food that has had me in pain all night. I am furious that after giving a heads up for an allergy that not only was the food made wrong but now I am sick. read more

It was a good experience overall, we only had to wait 25 minutes which was impressive since they could only seat somewhere around 50%. When we got seated our waitress-Christmas was very kind and very "on top of it"! She got our food out quickly and made sure we had a full glass to drink out of! It was a great dinner! read more

We come here even though it is out of our way. It is consistently fantastic. The food always spot on, the service is great and you really can't beat the price! Thank you Cheddars for always making our special nights out so great!! Julie B read more

The service is just awful... Food is barely any better. If you like chain restaurants go to chili's. Million times better!

I love the food and the prices. The only complaint I have about Cheddars is the....clientele....they attract. Come in any night of the week and you'll find large groups of loud, obnoxious urban people that crowd the doorways and have absolutely no care for anyone but themselves. They let their children run around and carry on like they own the restaurant. Cheddars can't do anything about this, but it's definitely not a good place for a nice family dinner or a date night. After 2 bad experiences with the crowd who basically takes over the dining room, I only get my orders to go now. read more

Apparently you're not welcome 35 minutes before closing. We were treated sarcastically by the server who then helped us out the door.

Finally got to Cheddars; every time I have tried the place is packed. Food was great; service and prices even better. Will be going back sooner than later! read more

Don't waste your time. Prices are cheap for a reason. Break down the salad...Lettuce from a bag, pineapple from a can, salsa from a jar, chicken pregrilled and re"grilled"...bland. Best part was the iced tea and the salad dressing. Great for kids I guess bc it's varied and cheap. Now I know why the salad was just $6.99. read more

save your money...$30.00 ill never get back. Was really disappointed because this place seems ok from the outside - :0/ food was HORRIBLE! Had a salad and soup - can't really mess that up-but they did. read more

A friend and I sat at the bar and had mixed drinks and an appetizer. There is one thing about this place, you get a lot for your money. The drinks were $6 apiece and they are well made and not stingy with the alcohol. We had the chicken nachos. Very good. I like that they make each chip it's own bite and not pile all the stuff on top of a mound of chips. This way every bit gets the meat and cheese. The salsa, sour cream, etc are on the side so you can put what you want on it. Four drinks and an appetizer cost is under $40 before tip. The service at the bar was good and it was fairly quite so we enjoyed our private conversation. read more

I feel the need to post an update..our last two visits the service has been absolutely horrible. We waited 35 minutes for a plain hamburger and a chicken salad. The lady next to us came in approximately 10 min after we did, ordered her food and had her steak & shrimp half finished before I got my salad, how do you possibly explain that? The manager offered no apology, my server vanished after bringing us the check which was still the full amount. I finally found the manager at the hostess station and had to basically force my debit card on her to take my money so I could leave. I think I need a hiatus from what was a family favorite dinner place. Very disappointing.. read more

Well we just had the worst experience at this Cheddars. My husband and I sat there with no one acknowledging us. A server even tried to deliver food to our table and we said no way that can be ours no one has even greeted us. She turned around and walked off. I went to find a manager who came over but we pretty much were frustrated and told him we were going somewhere else. Usually not bad service but today was awful! read more

It's ok, I'm not too crazy about it. It is a very popular spot and stays busy, so expect a wait and slow service at peak hours. I just don't get all the hype, it's pretty standard American fare. Not bad, but not spectacular either. read more
