Was led here by my new mortal enemy, Yamir, under the pretense that there was a "Scratch Kitchen" within walking distance to our hotel. After Yamir humiliated the rest of our group on the walk to the restaurant via a chance encounter with a rival fan base, I was surprised to see us walking up on a Cheddar's. I've been eating at these since I was 10, who calls them the "Scratch Kitchen"? Apparently, my non-friend who supports Somalian day cares in his hometown in Minneapolis, that's who. Anyway, got loaded up on booze and ordered the standard buffalo chicken wrapper (always good). And had a good time outside of any time Yamir talked. One of my friends and I had to disassociate from the rest of the group for the rest of the day based on some behaviors of our group in the restaurant. I apologize to anyone who may have been here on Easter. read more

I have tried chedders 3 times now twice dinning in and once with delivery I can give my official review now. Both dine in sessions were great servers were on par fast, courteous and reliant for first timers. We ordered the the fried fish platter and the country fried steak with gravy. Both orders came out fresh hot more than I thought. I could eat it did not know the serving. Would be so large very much appreciated. Each visit dining inn was equally adequate to the first.Definitely.Will be a go 24 my family or date night times. I know delivery can be a risk but we ordered the family platter from the app for the chicken strips, which came with 2 large family sides. Those wonderful croissants and dips it came hot crunchy fresh within an hour. And did not cost an arm in a leg for delivery. And none of that the food was soggy, all of it was great quality from packaging to taste. Epic meal if you're in the area, give them a try. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Bourbon glazed salmon & shrimp Baked potato Sweet baby carrots - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Honestly the food was fine, nothing special. I ordered a steak with the mashed potatoes and sweet baby carrots as my sides. I would actually recommend the sweet baby carrots, those were pretty good. As far as the steak and mashed potatoes go, they were average. The service was not incredible, our waitress was a little awkward and not super friendly, which is not a huge deal. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Honey Butter Croissants - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Tables too small in main dining area and the self pay console on the table is distracting an in the way . The bar area however is nice and spacious. read more

The positive: - Fresh breaded onion rings are delicious - Staff is very friendly and professional - Rolls are great The negative - the dinning area appears worn down and dated - feels a little dirty - especially the bathroom and floors - white fish (my favorite) was not very good this trip - salad appears very thrown together and icy Probably won't return for another visit any time soon. End in positive: restaurant business is tough and hard work - I appreciate all the staff and the jobs they have to do / like sometimes dealing with rude people. So my hats off to them. I hope management can make some changes. read more

I mean overall it's not a bad place. Very clean, the service was outstanding! But that would be the only reason we would come back. The lemon pepper chicken is very dry and little to no flavor. The ribs are ok at best. If we come back I think we'll have to try something else but overall those two dishes just tasted like hospital food. Now the sides, the fries, the broccoli cheese casserole, and the mashed potato's were on point! Very tasteful! The pot pie was the only thing that didn't need salt pepper or in general sauce. read more

This restaurant was located very close to a set of hotels, which made it very easy for anyone staying in the area. Even though the evening we visited was heavy with rain and thunderstorms, this restaurant was still fairly packed. We were seated quickly and our server was available to take our order. This place offered a good selection of meals, and I love that these were all from scratch. The meals were tasty and fresh. The service was fast. This was a great place to have a large selection of meals and have them be made in an appetizing way. read more

We came here for dinner and enjoyed a meal that wasn't great, but it was pretty good :-) The Back Ribs were ok, the Cheese curds were tasty, and the loaded baked potato is AOK. The staffers are pleasant, and selection is good. Meals come with honey butter croissants that are yummy. Tip: The drinks are reasonably strong and fairly priced. All things considered, while I wouldn't drive a hundred miles just to eat here, if I'm close by then I'd definitely return. read more

We met here to celebrate a friend's birthday. We got seated almost immediately in the bar since all diners were over 21. Our server was attentive and very busy as he was serving all the tables in the bar alone. He was friendly and helpful with menu choices and advice. The honey butter croissants that come to each table first are some of the best I've ever had. I had the chicken tenders and fried shrimp with broccoli casserole and a loaded baked potato. The serving was plentiful and enough to take home for lunch the next day. The casserole was tasty and the chicken and shrimp were large and very good. read more

Though Cheddar's does not attract high society and I could tell the wait staff was struggling, we had a great dinner. Service was excellent. Food was good, fried cheese curds, meatloaf, chicken pot pie and cold beer. I would go back for the meatloaf, pot pie and broccoli cheddar side, very good. read more

Really good service & food on a busy lunch time. Salad with salmon was huge, fresh and delicious

I was in the mood for fish and Cheddar's Cornmeal White Fish is excellent as well as their Red Beans & Rice. I was seated under their infamous fans and very near the aquarium. Their aquarium is super clean. I've had many aquariums but I'm not familiar with the black species in their tank. The fish chase each other around frequently which makes for interesting views. The parking lot was 95% full yet inside there were many tables available so one can only assume folks meet each other here for lunch thus giving a false impression there may be a waiting time for a table which was not the case at all. So yes I ordered my favorite Cornmeal White Fish with Green Beans and Red Beans & Rice. You get five fillets of fish at lunchtime. They used to have a smaller lunch portion but I believe both meal times now offer the same amount of fillets. The fish was perfect as always. The green beans did not taste like they usually do. The red beans & rice were excellent. They tasted a little bit salty on my first bite but I never noticed it after that. Another menu item I really love here is their Chicken Pot Pie. There is a TV screen over the hostess station that shows some of their more popular menu items. Service was good and friendly throughout my time inside this establishment. The restroom was clean and immaculate as usual. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Cornmeal White Fish with Southern Green Beans and Red Beans & Rice along with a side of bread. - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

TW: food poisoning Really enjoyed this restaurant, the menu, and the service. Tragically will never be able to come again as 6 hours post-dinner, my body awoke me to commence the most violent evacuation of every corner of my stomach and intestines - a clean out of this meal so thorough that it lasted a full 12 hours, leaving me weak in a state of delusion. It was truly frightening and miserable and like nothing I have ever experienced in my life. I gotta blame either the broccoli, the meatloaf, or the gravy on the whole thing. Something on that plate was definitely not up to code. read more

Stopped by for a work trip dinner. Super convenient location near our hotel! Our server Charles was super friendly and personable. Quite knowledgeable and answered some questions regarding the menu.

The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive. The food was delicious. I always get the salmon and it was cooked perfectly.

Generally good food, generous portions, good service, and good pricing. One of the better options in the area for a good meal at a good price. read more

Came for my friend's birthday. Drinks were great, food was awesome. Service was timely and prices were reasonable. I wish there was one closer to my home on the north side of Indy. This place rules. read more

I want to say I've always liked Cheddars. Lasr week I had the worst meal. Both of us ordered sirloin tips over mashed potatoes. They were tough and no flavor. Weird that it had gravy and they put sour cream on the gravy. server rarely checked on us and didn't ask how it was. I forgot my sweater and when I went back I told them about our meals. The manager said meat comes precut in 5 lb bags. Hope a bunch more folks don't get that meat read more

Just moved to Indiana and went here and was amazed! Everything was so well prepared and the service was outstanding! We will be back ...often. read more

We had a problem with the meal given to my granddaughter. It was fish sticks instead of chicken fingers. She is allergic to fish but luckily we had meds to give her and ward off a bad reaction. The manager, kitchen manager and waitress were all so attentive, kind and concerned. Thanks for being so good to us and we are sure all of us learned a good lesson to be more attentive going forward. We need to let staff know of our allergies and staff to be aware of what is being served. Again, thanks and Cheddars has good food, etc. read more

No substitutions, over-rated food. Very carb heavy. Loud, slow service. Not going back

Happy Birthday Melissa!! The bartender/server was incredibly personable and attentive. Her and the other employees were bantering, which I always enjoy: knowing that the employees get along and can support one another. I've never had a bad experience at a Cheddar's, but it was the first time at this location. Everything came out timely and HOT. I ordered the chicken pot pie and some fries, with the complimentary croissant of course. I'm always amazed by the prices. Music was a good mix of old and new, without being too loud. Just overall a great experience. Left feeling good and full. Would recommend, and should probably try other items but I enjoy the pot pie so much read more

Servers in the bar are knowledgeable, helpful, and they do a great job. Love the french fries and the salads. A nice twist on Thousand Island dressing. Every time I've taken a to-go order from Cheddar's in Avon, the bar staff has all but earned a full tip with speed, accuracy, setting the level of expectation, and making sure food portions are generous and really nicely packed. A few times when I've eaten in the dining room, service has been spotty. $3+ for a soda pop is tremendous over pricing. read more

Tried for the first time, it was pretty good. The cheese dip unfortunately has onions in it! The chicken was decent and crispy! We sat and had a couple drinks off of their $5 menu, which included a "Tito's and cranberry" and a "Margarita"! Both were alright, the Tito's was heavy on the cranberry, the marg was heavy on the tequila! I had a kids penne, it was decent size and came with a piece of garlic bread! We had cheese curds for an appetizer as well as a plate of honey butter croissants! They were lovely, I definitely recommend those two! The croissants melted in your mouth, SO GOOD! Definitely a nice place to check out if you haven't before! read more

We stumbled across this restaurant today. We were looking for a place for dinner and we were in the Greenwood, IN area. Glad we found this establishment. It was a nice modern very clean restaurant that seems to stay busy. When you arrive they give you a Honey Butter Croissant on the house. These were hot and tasty and were very buttery. We ordered a Sirloin Steak and it comes with 2 sides as part of the meal. Plenty of side dishes to select from. My wife had the 6oz cut and I had the 8oz. Both steaks were very well prepared - good flavor soft cut of meat cooked exactly the way we ordered it (Med Rare). My wife and I ordered a loaded baked (Butter, Sour Cream & Shredded Cheese) as one of our sides. I upgraded for an additional $1 to a House Salad for my second side (good size side salad) and my wife had the country green beans. Definitely enough food for the both of us and it did not break the bank. Very reasonable priced meal. We had a great server also. This restaurant has plenty of selections to choose from for your meal. I would suggest visiting this Scratch Restaurant if in Greenwood, IN. read more

Ate in the bar in a booth. Busy but bartender Jessica was very good. As a matter of fact the hostess and other servers helped out and everyone was smiling. great service. The chicken and shrimp was good. However ...I got quite sick to my stomach immediately after leaving restaurant, and had to rush into Culver's on the way home...lol. I think they are a well oiled machine there with the friendly service and getting the food out quick AND following up after you've sampled your food..... but I'm wondering with their popularity and the amount of food they serve if some of the food in the kitchen stays out too long because that food made me sick. My meal was chicken tenders, shrimp, broccoli and carrots read more

Have to say the food is good, but I'll tell you right now. The service sucks unless you are the right color you will not get the service that you should get. The only decent person that seem to be there is the to go girl. Thank you for your kindness. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Bad people. - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Excellent meal on the southside. We have come here a number of times and it never disappoints. The only real issue is getting in and out of the parking lot. Tons of construction causes many issues and since there is really only one way in, it's really hard. However, after getting in, everything gets so much better. They start with incredible sweet buttered rolls -amazing! Then we had a delicious chips and spinach dip. Ions of chips, cheese and spinach, sour cream and salsa. For dinner, I got the chicken tenders. Hot and juicy with mashed potatoes and gravy and corn. My wife got baked white fish with broccoli and vegetables. It was fresh and delicious. Our waitress was very attentive and kept our drinks full. The price was similar to other places like it. The restaurant is really nice with simple but classy decorations. read more

We always have a great experience when we come to this location. Food is consistent and waiters are always very friendly. I always get the Alfredo or the honey chipotle wings. Last time I regret getting the Cajun pasta, it was just okay. read more

My wife and I were invited to Cheddars and we were excited to go. It had been awhile since our last visit so we were looking forward to it. Upon arrival, my wife decided to try the beer battered fish. It arrived but the breading was very thin and appeared to be another type of breading. We mentioned this to the server. She offered to get us something else. My wife was pretty happy about this because she saw that the salmon on the menu indicated that you could have it cooked to temperature. My wife stated medium rare to the server and said just searing it on both sides should be adequate. The salmon came to our table missing the glaze that was described on the menu and had been well done. My wife did enjoy the sides but the server took the salmon back after asking if something was wrong with it. The server stated she thought searing it meant cooked all the way. We were charged for the uneaten fish but we paid it since she ate the rice and broccoli which she enjoyed. I did speak with the manager and advised that the staff might be unaware that fish can be ordered at different temperatures and not just, "cooked all the way". read more

Food was good. Ate at restaurant on County Line Road south of Indianapolis. Restaurant was freezing cold. We were shivering. When we sat down croissants were brought to our table. I thought they were complimentary. When I got home and looked at the receipt, we were charged $1.99. I was not pleased to be charged for an item I did not order. read more

I love a place with a veggie plate entree! I ordered online and the process was quick and easy. The prices are very reasonable too. Once you order, you just pull up to the curbside parking and let them know you're there or use the link they send you in a text message. The staff were friendly and quick with bringing my order out. Everything was well package and labeled. The honey butter croissants were amazing! Everything else was just ok. The veggie plate was a salad plus 4 sides which is almost too much. The salad was good, I liked all the egg. The corn was too salty for my taste, and the broccoli cheese casserole was a little too bland. My mom liked the chicken fried chicken and the garlic toast, but wasn't a fan of the gravy it came with. My brother is a fan of their spasagna but I don't see that on the menu anymore. I'd probably go again but would try something different next time. read more
