    Dinner Rolls
    Errol J.

    Hello all. Today I made a quick stop at Cheddars for brunch. It reall wasnt criwded so I dont understand why ut took so long to get food. The waitress I had wasnt very attentive, she spent more time walking round and talking. I had: Chicken and Shrimp Combo- were perfectly cooked and sesoned. Mash Potatoes- was rather lumpy and only warm Broccoli- absolutely perfect

    Kids Penne Pasta

    Stopped in for lunch on Memorial Day. We were doing some shopping at the town center and wanted something with variety for us and the kids. It was pretty dead when we arrived around 11:30 but got busier as we were leaving. The complimentary croissants are really yummy and a nice start to the meal. I had a mule to drink but didn't love it. It felt like the ratio of vodka to ginger beer was off, and my husband agreed it wasn't the best. The kids had pasta and chicken strips. My husband had the Cajun chicken bowl, and I went with my go-to, the vegetable plate. I got a side salad with broccoli cheese casserole, corn, green beans, and mashed potatoes. I personally LOVE the mix & match option of the vegetable plate. Very versatile. My husband gave his bowl a 4/5- said it was a little on the salty side. The restaurant was quiet. It's family friendly. Our kids like having the kiosk at the table to play games with also.

    Menu - October 2025

    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.

    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!

    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

    I went to Whiskey Cake for a party which was in a nice size private room. Our server Christina was…read morefabulous! There were roughly 15 people at the party and she kept the food and drinks coming all night with a friendly smile. I started with the guava gimlet made with Wheatley Vodka, guava, pineapple, simple and lime. It was sweet and refreshing. We were served a few appetizers including creamy artichoke dip served with homemade chips which were tasty. My friend and I ordered the charcuterie board which hit the spot! You could top the meat cheeses and sauces on to either homemade crackers or French bread. I highly recommend the board if you are looking for something light.

    This place is in a busy area of town center. It has a cool semi-upscale ranch style vibe. I was…read moresuper excited to try this place based on reviews but was disappointed. The staff were friendly but super busy due to inside volume of people. The food looks good and the steak was cooked fine, but the chimichurri had too much oil & fries were super salty. Like it was fried in it and topped off with it... I had let the person who brought the food out know (who works with the chef), and they never offered to bring me different fries. They just said they would tell the kitchen but didn't offer anything and so I didn't eat the fries at all. This plate being $38 before tax, I mean you want good fries....For the drink I got one of their mocktails which honestly was not up to par at all tasting like water and cucumber and nothing else, and I ended up ordering a soda... Again staff are friendly, but if management could pay attention a little more even when they're busy, it would help a lot, especially if someone is not happy with their food. I will not try this place again for a while as there are other places better than this that have similar dishes. Again when people are eating alone or in a group, make them happy with the food please...

When we arrived we checked in for our reservation and even though we got here early, they were able to seat us. Since we were early we were able to order one cocktail on happy hour. I will say, I understand they want to have craft distilleries or alcohol, I wish they would have some of the bigger brands of alcohol. Some of the smaller brands just don't taste the same. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. I believe his name was John. He let us know that they just launched this menu. We were a little bummed bc we were looking forward to the strip steak with Bernaise sauce. We started with the fig pizza , meatballs, and bread. Word to the wise because they have an open kitchen, if you run hot be sure to dress appropriately. It gets pretty warm in there. The pizza was delicious. I loved the combo of blue cheese and sweet figs. The meatballs were flavorful and the sauce was really good. I liked the bread plate, just wish there were more dipping options. For dinner we all ordered the strip with the truffle fries and the peppercorn sauce. We really enjoyed the steak, but I liked the one with bernaise better. The steaks were all cooked to our liking. They knew it was my sister's birthday, so they brought out their ice cream with olive oil and sea salt. It's different but super delicious. We will back!

I was one of 6 in a group and had great conversation and larger than expected appetizers. I ordered a flight of reds, broadening my tastes to explore a Tempranillo. It was my favorite, actually, and paired well with the Shanghai Short Rib! I was pleasantly impressed. I did have the crab, shrimp and lobster bisque for my appetizer, the seasonal Shanghai Short rib for my entree and the peach butter cake to finish. Truthfully, I was finished long before the dessert, but had to taste each course. It was delectable! Personally, I would've appreciated more spice in the Shanghai sauce, but it was tasty for a more general palate and customer base. There's some risotto that called to me, so I will definitely return!

Our server Frenchie also made it very clear that she's only working for tips - but she wasn't working very hard for them. Not only did she belittle our party for our ages, but also made it our problem for taking our food/drink orders late. One person in our party asked a question regarding an entree on the menu and he was met with a smart remark and little to no detail explaining the entree. Later on in the night when the whole table is done eating - we all decide to help out and clean up the table as best as we can. Frenchie decided it was a good time to make yet another smart remark about stacking the plates on top of each other. She continued to say "Have you ever been a server before?" and before really answering she cut me off to say "well then you should know not to stack the plates because you don't know if the server can handle that many plates" ... as she continued to take the pile of dishes out of my hand. If she can't handle too many plates in her hands, then she should've just waited to clear the table or politely say "i'll come back for those plates in a minute" by the end of it all , the entire table felt very uncomfortable by her demeanor towards us - of course we still tipped because we understand what it's like to make a living off of tips but to have a sour attitude and continually reminding us that you're here for tips isn't a great way of having customers coming back.

Unfortunately, our server wasn't very attentive. Her energy seemed low, and it felt like she was rushing through everything instead of focusing on the small details that make for great customer service. 6/10 I decided to order the Smokehouse Burger (medium) with no onions, and added lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, ketchup, and mustard. The burger started off strong with a nice smoky flavor, and the tanginess of the BBQ sauce gave it a great taste. However, the burger patty itself lacked seasoning and didn't have the flavor I was expecting. The bacon was nice and crispy, which was a plus. Overall, this wasn't my favorite burger I've had over the past few days. The BBQ sauce carried the entire burger and overpowered everything else instead of complementing it. 7/10 The fries were soft and fluffy, but I do wish they had been a little crispier. Some of them also seemed slightly undercooked. 7/10

Recent years I have not gone as much; a few visits (not to this location but in other states) were not quite what I remembered. Nonetheless, we were in town for the night, and this location was within walking distance from our hotel. We arrived slightly before our reservation and were seated quickly. Our server came to the table and was very polite, took our drink order, and quickly returned. My wife had a glass of red wine (I can't remember which), and for me a Vodka martini with olives. My drink was good and exactly what I needed after a long day of travel. For appetizers, we ordered the Avocado Bomb, ahi tuna, crab salad, crispy wontons, and the fire-grilled artichokes with rémoulade. The artichokes were just okay, and honestly I'm not sure how much was the restaurants fault or the fact that artichokes are a pain to eat and theirs nothing to them but chewy leaves (the rémoulade was good though!). The Avocado Bomb was very good, although one critique was that, while, yes, it was crab salad at the bottom, the crab was nearly shredded, but overall a good dish! I opted for Prime Rib (as rare as they could get it to me), with au jus and smashed potatoes. My wife decided on the Carolina Crab Cakes, jumbo lump crab, chili mayonnaise, mustard sauce, French fries, and Southern coleslaw. I also opted for a side of horseradish sauce per our server's recommendation. I will say that I've ordered prime rib before in similar chain restaurants (some of them chain steakhouses), and without fail they come out nearly well done. The excuse is always because "it's precooked and it is cooked to a certain temp...blah, blah, blah". Yet, I ordered it here, and it was cooked exactly as I wanted it. Now, I won't claim it was a great cut of beef, but it was good and did the trick. The potatoes were good as well. The horseradish sauce, though, had far too much mayo in it and tasted like it. But still a dish I would order again! My wifes crab cakes were very good as well, a great amount of lump crab meat without the filler you see so often. The coleslaw was typical coleslaw, tasteless and pointless when you have a dish at market price. But the fries were good! Overall, we had a good experience; the service and food were very good. If in the area again, we would certainly return, and this may have me visit other J. Alexander's during my travels elsewhere.
