    Homemade Onion Rings - delicious
    Ashley T.

    I came for dinner with a group of people and Cheddars was a good spot for that. The menu has a lot of options at pretty fair prices. We ordered a few starters the cheese curds and a couple of orders of the onion rings. Both were delicious! For my main I ordered the chicken tenders which were just okay. There was a lot of breading around the chicken. Now if you are a fan of breading these would be right up your alley but I personally do not like very much breading so I ended up dissecting the tenders. For my side I got the broccoli which was very tasty. I would say Cheddars is the perfect spot to come with a group and order drinks and appetizers!

    A local coworker suggested this place when my coworker also from Phoenix, Arizona was looking for a quick lunch spot while on my work trip to the Jacksonville office. We were seated quickly and our waitress was very friendly. Loved the croissants they brought while we waited, and felt very welcome. Very comfortable booth and enjoyed the conversation with my coworkers while we waited for our food. As for food, I had the bourbon-glazed salmon & shrimp. The homemade bourbon sauce had me drooling! I would definitely order again and found myself craving a couple days later. May return before I'm back, and have on my radar if work sends me here again.

    We had a lunch date with our daughter, her husband and kids at Cheddars's scratch kitchen in Jacksonville. We started with the Spinach Dip, with chips, and a side of salsa too. Everyone loved it. The buttered croissants arrived hot and according to everyone, delicious! Our waitress Tanahiry ** Was exceedingly professional, kind and very attentive to our needs, and order request. I dare say she was one of the best waitresses we've had the pleasure of meeting in a long time! We had a variety of different orders and everyone at the table was pleased with their food. The grilled pork chops were terrific, and the sides were good too! The coffee was hot, and the taste was spot on. The price is normal for the area, a little pricey for 6 of us, but it was worth it. The restaurant is clean and well lighted (a big plus for me.) We would definitely come back to Cheddars.

    Hot Fudge Cake Sundae
    Katherine C.

    Hanged out with colleagues for dinner and dessert at Cheddars Town Center before Thanksgiving as we gave each other gifts and spend time with each other's families. Mustard Chicken was my pick with sides of corn, mushrooms and red rice. It was warm and tasted alright. I should have added a little more gravy. Had the chocolate fudge cake and took a bite of the Apple Pie, they were both creamy and delicious. The payment iPad device had a bit of an issue as it automatically toggles through the tip and eventually selects 20% which the staff is aware of. Thanks for letting us know. This is a good place to bring family and friends as it is very spacious and great for get-togethers and there is plenty of parking outside.

    My 1st time trying this & it wasn't bad at all. The sauce that comes with it really elevated the flavor!

    Carrot Cake
    Liz S.

    Nate, our server, did an excellent job. Very professional, clean and presentable. The food was tasty. I enjoyed the croissants. The carrot cake was an absolute amazing. Hostess was not at the front so we had to wait for 5 minutes. She was not attentive. I would still come back and give the hostess a chance.

    Gluten Free Menu
    Josh J.

    Service was quick and the drinks were great. The food came out hot with big portions, and everything tasted fresh. What stood out was having a gluten free menu it's not something you find everywhere, and it makes it easy to order without stress. Felt good to be there with my large over 10+ people group and we weren't rushed

    We had a wonderful experience for lunch! Our waiter Zurich was so fun and friendly. He gave great suggestions and absolutely helped to sort out the large variety of options available. The complimentary honey butter croissant arrived warm and flaky... fresh out of the oven! It was so delicious I ordered 6 more to take home! We were starving so absolutely spoiled our appetite with a deliciously large trio appetizer that was plenty for our table of 3. We chose the loaded fries, chicken tenders, and spinach dip. All very good! My sister and I decided to share the steak tips given our generous portions of the appetizers and croissants and it was plenty... very flavorful however a little over salted for my personal preference. I did very much enjoy the broccoli cheddar rice casserole added as an extra side. There is also a full bar with many cocktail options that I look forward to trying the next time. There is so much variety that you can truly visit often and not have the same thing twice! Also, the value for the food is a quite nice bonus when you get the bill!

    Buffalo chicken wrapper
    Stephanie B.

    We were sat immediately, but then it took 23 minutes just to get an iced tea. We almost left just as our server finally brought out of teas. Then, there was literally a long black piece of hair in my husband's side salad. We told the server immediately, she carried it away saying it wasn't her hair but she would let her manager know. Well, my husband is bald and I have long blonde hair, definitely not ours either. The manager came over apologizing and saying she took the two teas off of our bill, so $6, her words, then walked away never to return. After that, our food came out. I couldn't eat my buffalo chicken wrap, I was completely put off of eating and the entire dining experience there. It's a shame because I have always loved going to the cheddars in Texas and was excited to go today but now sadly, I'm not sure I'll return to that location. Poor service, hair in the food, poor management response, not cool at all.

    Grilled Salmon
    Jamillah C.

    I love Cheddars so anytime I am near one i want to go even if its just for the croissants and a caesar salad. Tonight I ordered salmon, rice, broccoli as a baked potato. The salmon and broccoli was over cooked and the potato was undercooked.

    Country Fried Chicken
    Melissa C.

    Great! No wait (added ourselves to the waitlist before arriving--super convenient). Server, Fallon, was attentive, nice and offered recommendations. Food and drinks were quick and delicious!! (I couldn't get a pic of the entree bc I devoured it too quickly) but try the Painkiller drink (their house specialty).

    Bacon Cheeseburger French Fries
    Imani B.

    It was packed when I went I loved the Caesar salad but I didn't really like my burger and fries much the service was great tho.

    The Honey Butter Croissants
    Lindsey G.

    Ok so, I have been to Cheddar's multiple times and let me tell you, this place sucks. The food is meh, the ambience is pretty, but the service is absolutely terrible. If you go there and order, order everything at once!!! It takes about 20 minutes to get your DRINKS! Yes! The first thing you order! The extra plates they give you are dirty but the croissants are yummy yummers. If you come here just take the croissants and run.

Even though we had a reservation, it didn't seem to make a difference. We waited about 15 minutes just to find a host or hostess to be seated. During that time, we saw several other groups leave because no one was available to greet or seat them. It wasn't the best first impression and definitely set the tone for the visit. Once we were seated, the food was excellent. You can really tell that everything is made from scratch, and the quality and freshness stood out. The Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts, topped with garlic aioli and Parmesan cheese, were delicious and packed with flavor. I also ordered the Kale Caesar Salad with grilled chicken, which was fresh and well-balanced with house greens, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar vinaigrette. My little ones ordered the Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Fingers with fries, and they both really enjoyed their meals. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight of our visit, but the service and lack of organization upon arrival could use improvement. If they can address the front-of-house experience, it would make for a much better visit.

Upon being shown to our booth, the floor by the table we were seated at was extremely slippery. At first I thought it was due to a fresh mopping and they had just forgotten a sign, but it stayed extremely hard to navigate the entire meal. Let's get into the highlights: some of the freshest table side guacamole I've ever had. Made right in front of you and you get a ton for what you pay for. My lunch portion of my Yucatán Quesadilla was only $9.99 as it was a Friday and it was just okay. Unfortunately, I did have to cut it myself. The "small" margarita for $12.99 is absolutely gigantic. In fact, every drink I saw come out was of ginormous proportion and seems to be the main draw here. Unfortunately, I was a bit let down by both the salsa, as even though there was a full bar, none of the options were all that tasty. The biggest detractor was honestly the service. Our server was extremely nice on the surface, but every opportunity was used to upsell by every member of the staff. A bigger drink, another appetizer, another drink, handing us their card and asking for a review following paying. I normally never have issue with this but it became overwhelming at a certain point. This restaurant absolutely feels like it has potential, but might suffocate over its mistakes in an extremely crowded Town Center/Southside Market.
