    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.

    Hot Fudge Cake Sundae

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

Most importantly after spending so much time here my friend and I both spent the night up sick. Not sure if it was from the wings or the ramen but it seemed we both had a slight case of food poisoning. Overall save yourself the time and drive to other ramen places available in Jax, as there are much better ones that won't leave you sick.

I know every restaurant can have an off day, and because we've had great experiences here in the past, we'll definitely give them another chance. This visit just wasn't up to the standard we've come to expect from Sweet Mama's.

Between the inviting atmosphere, solid happy hour energy, and standout service from Mat and Gracie, this spot delivered. Definitely a great go-to for unwinding after a long day.

At this point, the greater show showed up again and decided to take my order. All I asked for was water and crème brûlée. The water arrived in a dirty looking glass, and a straw was not even offered. A few more people walked in, and everyone was served pretty immediately. One of the waitresses was parading around with her extra long hair let loose. She was handling food in the kitchen and serving food at tables. Food service basics require hair to be tied at all times. By now 25 more minutes had gone by and my desert had not arrived. I decided to leave. I don't think that any restaurant could treat anyone worse than this. No basic courtesy, no customer service etiquette. I do not know if it was brazen racism, or sheer ignorance - neither of which should be allowed.

Many recommended oxtails, which I had never tried since I've eaten mostly vegetarian for 10+ years of my life. My doctor has suggested reintroducing some meat to see how I can tolerate with digestive disorders, so I figured give this location and oxtails a chance! For lunch one day, another coworker who traveled from Phoenix with me decided to go to lunch here. She ordered the daily special meatloaf with collared greens and said they were pretty average. She previously had someone bring in lunch from this location, and she remarked the pork chops were very delicious. Likely a case of ordering the wrong item; as another coworker mentioned the baked chicken wasn't that spectacular. What I've learned? When you dine soul food, you don't mind calories. My oxtails were delicious and fell off the bone. It reminded me of pot roast on the flavor and tenderness. Very hearty and filling. I also had the mac n cheese, which to be expected from a soul place, was divine! I found myself wishing I didn't go with a vegetable (broccoli) and did double Mac n cheese. Food for thought for a next visit if I'm sent to Jacksonville again for work as this location is only about 6 miles from the hotel/work office. If you are looking for soul food, give this location a try. It is styled like a cafeteria for lunch, so we didn't find the ambiance as relaxing as other places we went. The staff was pretty friendly and appreciate them offering a side recommendation, though shocked they said broccoli or corn as their favorite.
