    Half rack Fall-Off-The-Plate Baby Back Ribs
    Brittany A.

    This is a cute place with decent food. They gave us these honey melted butter croissants that were super yummy ! I got the ribs and they weren't the best I've had but they were good. The country style green beans almost had a sweet taste but still yummy. Our service was absolutely incredible and she was super on top of everything. The pricing is pretty fair.

    My parents took me and my granddaughter to this location for dinner. We were seated immediately and our server was quick to come over and take our drink order and our regular food order. She was nice and checked back with us at the appropriate times to ask if we needed anything. The restaurant was clean and generally quiet and a good atmosphere. All of us liked our food And it came out pretty quickly and with good food temperature.

    My daughters and grandchildren took me for my birthday to Cheddars:) We really loved the chicken fried chicken! The server Jay was very prompt and very kind. My grandson said Wow Grandma they have great service here.. it was sunny day very hot so when we where seated it was very cool and comfortable where we where seated! Good Job Cheddars on making my Birthday Great!

    Food, service, everything needs help. Too many choices to accept sub par restaurants.

    New Orleans Pasta

    Omgggggg! I cannot recommend this spot enough! Cheddars isn't everywhere so whenever I'm in the mood to go out to eat, but keep it casual, this is the perfect place I recommend. The prices are affordable and there's plenty of options for all taste buds. I went out on a weekend date with my mom and we always get the queso dip with ground beef added (which the ground beef is free). I had the New Orleans pasta and my mom had the chicken pot pie.. who both of them are amazing. Please try this spot out, you truly will not be disappointed!

    Start off with a free warm Honey Butter Croissant

    I get the sirloin steak every time we come here and it never fails. It's always cooked perfectly and the garlic butter they put on top is phenomenal. (You have to ask for the garlic butter, but trust me do it) everything is just delicious every single time!!! Always clean & the staff is so nice. Thank you, Cheddars!!!!

    We enjoyed our recent visit to Cheddars. We had a new waiter in the bar area and he was very friendly and took care of some kitchen issues we had promptly. Steak was overcooked and baked potato had sour cream though I asked for none, he had it fixed. No big deal. Food was great and prices are decent with good sized portions.

    Took 15 minutes to get a drink order and 1 hour to get our food. Food was cold. Left most of it on the plate.

We were seated right away as a party of 8, which was great for a larger group. Unfortunately, the experience this time was really slow when it came to food service. Our food took about 45 minutes to arrive, and we noticed smaller tables that were seated after us received their meals, ate, and left before we even got ours. Our server also walked past our table several times without giving any updates, which was frustrating while waiting. We typically go to the Liberty location because we've had better experiences there. This visit just wasn't the best, but we do like the overall vibe of the restaurant and hope service improves at this location.

The food was good, but the fries had been under the warmer for much longer than it should have and felt soggy and lifeless. I would like to try the food again at a corner cafe with good service (this was my first time eating at corner cafe) The inside was very similar to most other brunch spots with a bit of a country theme. The atmosphere felt off with all the customers crammed in one section of the restaurant with the rest of the restaurant left vacant with the lights off.

My review is, for me, the burger,its not that good, its just not for me. My expectation was, they had the "IT FACTOR" for the burgers. Something you would have expected from the day, 60/70 years ago. The old larger bun, not biscuit size, grilled burger meat, mine seemed losely patted and steamed and more than pickle, onion and mustard. Maybe thats just the way its always been and others love it. Im glad I went but it is a one stop for me. I wish you another 70 years of continued service and a great icon of Independence, Mo.

The carhops came right up to our window to take our order and were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The menu is surprisingly large for such a small place. We ordered the Wiz Burger, chicken nuggets, tots, onion rings, fries, and Brown Cow root beer floats. Prices were very reasonable, which was a nice bonus. One thing I really loved was the option to order their homemade root beer in an ice-cold glass mug (which you return when you're done). It definitely adds to the nostalgic experience. Our favorite items were the crispy tater tots, the chicken nuggets (which were more like mini chicken strips), and the root beer floats. The Wiz Burger was definitely unique, but it wasn't a crowd-pleaser in our car. It's made with loose meat mixed with onions, pickles, and cheese, which may appeal to some but wasn't our favorite. I'd definitely go back to try the chicken sandwich, pork tenderloin, or spicy buffalo dog. The food itself might be closer to 3 stars, but the unique throwback nostalgia of the carhop era bumps the overall experience into 4-star territory. It's a must-try-at-least-once kind of place.

It wasn't awful but probably should have ordered off the menu as I'm not a buffet person. Very clean establishment. We saw all kinds of bulk food as you walk in the doors. Apparently they accept non perishable do to help out the locals if they need a hand up. They also help with the school summer lunch program. If that isn't enough of a reason to go visit...well I'm sorry you're dead inside.

    Rating 2/5 stars because Sandy's quality used to be better...maybe we just went on an extremely off…read moreday. In my opinion, $22 for an Easter brunch buffet should mean hot food that won't run out. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Our party of 10 arrived at 11:00am and all of the food in the buffet was cold. Even when they'd bring more of a certain item to replace on the buffet line, it wasn't warm. The only item that was hot was the prime rib at the carving station. Being pregnant, I felt extremely uncomfortable eating cold buffet food due to the increased risk of food poisoning, so I wasn't able to enjoy much beyond the room temperature biscuits and the last scrapings of the white gravy along with some green beans that were warmish. Defintely not worth the $22 a person. They also ran out of carrot cake on Easter of all holidays, which was a disappointment. We probably won't be back for a buffet at Sandy's, which is a shame because our family has eaten their Mother's Day buffet several times and it had been fine (not stellar, but fine). Also, just a personal opinion, but the constant use of bad AI pictures on their Facebook is so cringey. The Boomers might like it, but the younger crowd sees this sort of stuff and thinks "yikes." We'd rather see real pictures of your real food, not a cartoon depiction.

It seemed to be placed under a heat lamp until the meat was dried out, than slathed with brown gravy just before serving. I received one carrot, a piece of potato and mashed potatoes drowned in brown gravy. Edible,but not worth what we were charged. For me, the highlight was going to be Apple Cobbler a la Mode. The presentation was spectacular,but the menu clearly stated that this was baked in their kitchen. I took one spoonful and it was still partially frozen. I sent it back, and was told it would be put back in the oven, but it was back in two minutes, and the plate was piping hot. I asked if went back into the oven, and was told it was put into a microwave oven. It was at best luke warm, so I ate the ice cream and left the entire cobbler, less two small spoonfuls, on the table. I was offered a to go box, which I refused. I was there with my sons, who didn't want me to make a scene. Had I been there by myself, I would have had a long, difficult conversation with the manager. I may go back for breakfast (which is served all day), but not for lunch or dinner. I would have gotten the same level of food if I bought a Healthy Choice frozen dinner.
