    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
    Gladis I.

    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.

    Went to Treebeards for lunch on Labor Day. The restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in, so…read morethere was plenty of open seating. ​It is an order at the counter setup. You place your order, they hand you a number and your drink glasses, and you grab your flatware over by the drink station. They have these cute little trays to carry your cups, napkins, and utensils so you are not awkwardly trying to juggle everything back to the table. After you sit down, they bring your food right out to you, so no waiting around the counter. ​The deviled eggs were delicious, honestly some of the best I have ever had at a restaurant. They come topped with a tiny piece of crispy bacon. They do offer fried deviled eggs, but I am more traditional, so that is what I went with. You can get an order of 3 or 6. We went with 3, and the second I tasted them, I wished we had gotten 6. ​For my main, I got the fried catfish and asked for it extra crispy. It came out piping hot, served with homemade tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and two sides. They use a cornmeal batter just like my mom used to make, and I absolutely loved it. The tartar sauce was great, too. I would honestly go back just for the fish. For sides, I picked the greens and French fries. The greens tasted just like real greens should. That took me straight back to my mom's cooking, and my mom could seriously throw down in the kitchen. The fries tasted fresh and homemade, definitely not out of a frozen bag. ​I am usually not one to clean my plate and almost always have leftovers, but the portions here were perfect. I ate all my catfish and about half the fries and greens. ​My friend got the chicken pot pie and said it was good. I took a bite, and while it was not bad, it was nowhere near as good as my catfish. For his sides, the mac and cheese was good, but the green beans really did not have much flavor at all. ​Overall, it was a great meal. I can't wait to go back and try a few other things on the menu.

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 items were ok like…read morethe Hakka noodles I really liked but that's because I always like them and I don't really know how wrong they could turn out. The momos was a real let down for me because it felt like they were undercooked like the corners were hard still, and it didn't feel as nice and soft as like dumplings would be. I also was thrown off by the sauce/manchurian flavor they had on them. Wasn't personally a huge fan. Also, the service was fine like not too long of a wait or anything, but you have to kind of get everything yourself from the front - food, plates, water, forks, etc. and all the plates, utensils are styrofoam, so not a great ambiance. The place is really big though with lots of seating.

They bring you the food after it's ordered but it's weird that they don't also bring you silverware. The silverware is located at the front. I did get a homey vibe in there. The presentation of the food was decent. It felt like it was more of a "fast food" than an authentic Indian food. The naan was also a bit burnt. I've had better naan even the ones that you just bake at home yourself. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of authenticity flavor.
