    Pineapple Berry: Rum Punch
    Michari L.

    My boyfriend and I planned a casual date night and unfortunately left extremely disappointed. We were seated right away, which was a great start--but the service quickly went downhill. It took our waiter about 20-25 minutes just to take our drink order. We already knew what we wanted and placed our entire order at once, anticipating either staffing issues or slow service. Even so, things never improved. We waited an additional 30-45 minutes for our food, which never arrived. Eventually, we asked for it to be boxed up so we could leave. While waiting, we noticed the table behind us also get up and leave due to the excessive wait time. We arrived roughly an hour and a half before closing and were never properly served. Overall, this location shows a clear lack of training and concern for customer experience. Side note: I took the food to work the next day, and it was extremely salty--definitely not worth the wait. This was our first and last visit. The only photo I was able to take was of my drink, as it was the only thing that ever made it to the table.

    Grilled Salmon (sauce on side) over rice, mashed potatoes, corn

    I'd probably not come back to this location. I did a take out order and the food was meh but the worker that brought out the curbside order was stellar. Super friendly and courteous. Order: Grilled salmon (sauce on side), corn, mashed potatoes (2.5/5) - the salmon was grilled nicely, the corn was undercooked and the mashed potatoes would have been better with the gravy that they left out They also gave me burnt crunchy croissants that had to be trashed so that was disappointing Kids chicken Alfredo (3/5) - putting the garlic toast inside the container was a waste, the bread was soggy - there was a good portion of chicken for a kids meal I was super excited bc I have always enjoyed their salmon meal when I frequented their location in Humble/ Spring when I lived out there so was slightly disappointed.

    Wisconsin Cheese Bites - not bad.  Ranch was ok.

    My last review for this place was three stars.... Now, it's barely two.... At 6pm on a Wednesday, without any customers in the restaurant, we were sat very quickly. Thumbs up. Server was very nice. Double thumbs up. So far so good. Food was not good. Please see the pictures for descriptions. Monte Cristo was soft (even though it's supposed to be deep fried) and not hot. How? I don't know. We returned the flavorless kid's penne pasta. And I'm TIRED from the fight with the spinach dip. Why was the dip so tough?!? We literally had to use a knife and fork to get the dip out. Cheese curds were ok. Not hot but at least it had flavor. I don't understand how our food wasn't hot. There is no one else here at the restaurant. Even if our food wasn't premade, at least microwave it. How does Alfredo sauce taste like nothing? Server and host were nice. Restaurant was clean. Apparently one of the toilet seat were broken. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not the worst meal I've had but it's right down there. The server and host saved this meal. Would I come back? If I remember this meal, no I won't.

    Salmon, broccoli , mushrooms, mashed potatoes. I nixed the rice. Like it fresh, and it was excellent.

    The hostess was very professional and accommodating to our big birthday event. Great customer service, I hope to go back soon with my friends. It's the February birthday event for us all. Our Server Kai mastered a large party order with split bills.

    Ordered fast, my drink came fast , good service Good drinks good food here at 10:30 not too crowded

    Visiting this restaurant for the first time, the atmosphere is relaxed, and we had good service. The Cheddar's Painkiller drink was really good. The only thing I didn't like was that my dish was supposed to have chicken and shrimp, but they forgot the shrimp and brought them later after a while. Also, if you arrive with a party of more than 6 people, they don't have tables to seat everyone together, so they split you into separate groups

    Grilled Shrimp Alfredo
    Misha M.

    It was so good. I have never ordered pasta at a restaurant before but the grilled shrimp Alfredo just kept calling me. A drastic change from the chicken tenders I normally get and I'm so glad I went with my first mind. The Key West was really flavorful and that bourbon sauce on the chicken really gives it's that bit of zing! It was really good. Our server was patient because we were undecided but the third time she came to take our order we were ready. Long story short, we didn't get our croissant until we left and we got a couple containers. Because of the wait we were offered drinks. And as you can see from the bottom of my cup, it was real strawberries. I never get juices or drinks but I would order this again. Let it water down a bit and it was perfect. Oh, make sure you have a jacket because it was freezing inside. and it was about as loud as you would expect for a Friday.

    Spinach and three cheese dip

    As we visited for the first time, Houston, Texas, to visit a dear friend in Katy, we stopped for dinner at this location right next to our hotel. The server named Key was such a sweet young lady, very informative after we told her it was our first time at Cheddar's. For the appetizer, she mentioned the spinach dip, and she brought out complimentary bread glazed with butter and cheese that was so yummy as was the spinach dip. My wife and I ordered a full slab of ribs with coleslaw and rice and beans. It was really good and even though we shared the ribs it was too much and I took some to our friend. I had the Maui Margarita, and my wife had a beer. I also talked to another young lady who worked there, and she told me her manager was from chicago

    I grew up going to cheddars almost every other weekend because it's my dad's favorite restaurant . Took him to eat here for Father's Day and it was not busy at all. Food is always consistent , so no complaints about that. Love how their drinks are pretty cheap.

Tiny bathrooms- can't get in and out without touching something. Our waitress was a few weeks in and tried her best. The fountain drinks were absolutely disgusting and needed to be recalibrated. I settled with the only bottled soft drink available to be safe, a root beer with 79 grams of sugar! The Bakers Special pizza was a greasy and sloppy mess and instantly fell apart just by looking at it. It had mondo chunks of meat that didn't pair well with the sauce. My husband recommended this place from his visit a few years ago but it clearly went downhill. It's an old dilapidated mess. Cushion chairs were 20+ years old with sticky stains and butt intentions on them. It was giving biker bar and made me very uncomfortable. I was afraid I'd get sick just being in the environment. The patrons were old, obnoxious perverts. Someone even brought their dog in there (not a service dog). I couldn't overlook it's condition and the food wasn't any better. There are definitely way better options on Westheimer. EEEEYUCK!

The service was superb with taking our food order, refilling drinks, bringing out a to go box and offering to go drinks. I will say I loved my husband's birria grilled cheese sandwich. It was so huge, flavorful and juicy. He ate half of it there. I was happy with the portion of the chicken fried steak I was given. Since it was stacked on top of the green beans and mashed potatoes it needed some gravy with it. I'm not a fan of it being stacked like this so I asked for more gravy lol They were polite about it. I did like the bacon addition to the green beans. We did enjoy our strawberry lemonade and peach lemonade. That was a nice southern touch. Overall this was a fun spot to dine at. We did go on a Saturday night with no reservation and it seems like it's a place that prefers reservations but there wasn't a crowd so they were pretty accommodating so check online if they're available like we did.

The drinks were great and well made, probably my favorite part of the meal. The food, however, was about a 5/10 for me. It wasn't bad, just a bit underwhelming compared to the hype and what I expected. Everything was fine, but nothing really stood out or wowed me. That said, with great service and solid drinks, it's still a decent spot to check out, especially if you're going for cocktails and a relaxed vibe rather than amazing food.

The flavor was about the same as your average Americanized Chinese takeout. I don't blame the business for this, but someone followed me in asking for money.

Just a heads up, this place is counter service, so you order at the front and then grab a table. The crawfish garlic butter sauce actually has really good flavor, but the crawfish themselves weren't very juicy. It tasted like most of the flavor stayed on the outside rather than soaking into the crawfish. If they let the crawfish sit in the sauce longer, I think it would make a big difference. The fried catfish was solid, and the whole wings were good. Regular wings were just okay. Prices are pretty reasonable though around $10/lb normally, and they are running a special of 5 lbs for $45. Overall, a decent spot with potential. If the crawfish were juicier, I'd definitely come back because the sauce itself is actually pretty good!
