    Chicken tejders and fries
    Ian C.

    Came in on a Friday night for dinner with a group of six and had an overall average experience. Pros - Quantity- Overall the amount of food wasn't bad for what was ordered. (I wanted simple and got the chicken tenders, which theyvare known for) - Staff- Staff was friendly enough, when they checked on us - Clean- While it was a busy Friday night, it was fairly clean and the restroom was as well, so that's a win. Cons Staff- While they were friendly (pro), they were very slow and seemed overwhelmed. It took about 15 minutes to get our waters after ordering and about 45 minutes for our food) Overall, not bad, could have been worse, but could have been a little quicker. Pro tip- If you get the tenders, the hot honey dipping sauce is great!

    Lemon Pepper Chicken Buttered Off-The-Cob Corn Fresh Steamed Broccoli Chips & Homemade Queso
    Brett K.

    The food was good, with my favorite being the chips and salsa. The meal started off with the croissant, which was a bit cold but still had flavor. The chips could've been warmed up, however the queso made up for it. The salsa was a bit sweet for my liking but it wasn't bad. My girlfriend got the chicken pot pie and the bake potato soup, and they were both pretty good. For my entree I got the lemon pepper chicken which was a smidge dry. The corn was good but the broccoli was a little bland, and you could see the freeze dried garlic pieces on the broccoli. The service was good, nothing to write home about though. Cheddar's always has a good atmosphere, however the little ipad on our table didn't work, so paying was a bit of a hassle, but not a huge deal. Overall not a bad experience and would go again. Not too expensive either at $50 with tip for coke products, croissants, appetizer, and two entrees.

    Southern Green Beans

    Working in Lafayette this week, and I was looking for some good food that I could take back to my hotel room. Cheddar's has online ordering, and I was able to quickly and easily order food that I could pick up curbside. I appreciate that Cheddar's offers many excellent vegetables and side dishes. I travel for work frequently and I seldom eat fast food. Cheddar's has side dishes on the menu that you can't find at most restaurants. Today the sides I ordered were a baked potato, Southern green beans, and broccoli cheese casserole. The green beans are delicious, they taste just like the old-fashioned green beans my grandma used to make. I love broccoli casserole and it is unusual to find it in restaurants so I always order it when it is on the menu. I also ordered a bowl of baked potato soup, which was served hot, yay! I don't care for lukewarm soup so the hot soup made me happy. Cheddar's has some of the best baked potato soup I have ever had. Tastes like homemade! All the food was carefully packaged, and it was ready right on time. I pulled up to a curbside parking space and it was brought out promptly.

    Chicken tenders and fried shrimp with broccoli casserole and green beans

    Went in for dinner it was great as always. Yummy food cute ,set up ,and family friendly. There's also a bar for adults only . Also, heads up, they give everyone in your party a free honeybutter croissant. I must say they're pretty good . I would rather it be at the end of my meal rather than the start. my favorite thing when we go here is the shrimp and chicken tenders. I got broccoli casserole and green beans for my side dishes. I didn't really enjoy the green beans. They're a little sweet for my taste. My husband got the chicken friend steak with baked potatoe fully loaded and broccoli casserole. he enjoyed it. I can't complain. Our children got chicken Alfredo and friend shrimp with green beans. In my opinion, the kids' shrimp was not much food at all. Other than that, everything was fine.

    We were seated promptly and the waitress was at our table with croissants within 4 minutes. So far so good .had to return the steak ,it was well done which the font like ,but that was as much my fault as the waitresses. It's a typical chain but better than some. My husband's chicken pot pie tasted very "chickeny" All in all it was a good meal.

    This facility is very large so they can move a lot of dinners quickly - and they do!! Our party of two don't have to wait long for a spot in the bar. The inside of the restaurant is attractive and comfortable. They had plenty of staff which were friendly and helpful. The tile on the bar floor was very slippery on this visit. I'm not certain why since it wasn't raining outside. The floor was uncomfortably slick. It's been a while since I've been to a Cheddars. The menu is significantly smaller. I was surprised at how limiting the menu choices were. For lunch I had the chicken tender salad. I found the salad to be very fresh. The tenders were tasty like the regular tenders. The croissant was a little tough but it was buttery, tasty and sweet.

    The rusty bench

    We went here on Friday and it was 3:30 in the afternoon. We saw only 4 couples in the restaurant. They seated us next to another table with 3 people all other tables in that area was empty. We asked if we could sit at one of the 8 tables in the same area, but was told we couldn't. The service was not very good no refills and she never took any dirty dishes away. The restaurant was dirty with food on the floor. Outside the benches were rusty and the paint was peeling off. I will never eat here again and would not recommend it.

    Yesterday my husband and I came in at about 5:30 or so on a Sunday, there was no wait. Got a table in the bar section to keep a table available for the other side. Our server's name was Brent (I think, or is it Trent? Lol sorry if you were our server and are reading this). He was fantastic! Very quick service. It took me longer to decide what I wanted to order than it took for the food to come out! I was impressed. Impressed with our server, with the kitchen staff, and with the speed of receiving the food from the kitchen. Thanks, Cheddars! And thanks Brent/Trent! The only thing I was personally not a fan of was the flavor of the green beans (normally I love southern green beans) and I was not a fan of the queso. But everything else was amazing. My husband loved his food and he liked the queso.

    I love how they release some of their fish in that giant aquarium back into the ocean. It's really nice.

    Service was a little slow. The server didn't seem to really engage with us much. The food was fantastic though!

    Juniper on Main is an amazing restaurant, the food was fantastic and the staff were incredibly…read morekind, even on what was clearly a very busy night. That's actually why I feel compelled to say something - during my visit, I saw an adult man berate a young hostess over the wait time. No one deserves to be spoken to that way, especially not a teenager doing their job in a high-pressure environment. Unfortunately, I've seen this kind of behavior more than once at restaurants, and it needs to stop. If you're frustrated, taking it out on staff is not ok. A little patience and basic respect go a long way. As someone who used to work as a hostess, I know how stressful those moments can be, and I really appreciated how gracefully the team at Juniper on Main handled everything. They deserve a lot of credit. Highly recommend this place, not just for the great food, but for the hardworking, kind staff who keep things running. If you are someone that can't control your temper and you take it out on unsuspecting people, you should order in. Your frustration doesn't give you the right to behave so awful.

    My husband and I ate here for the first time today and we are SO UPSET! Not at the restaurant, meal…read moreor service but at ourselves for waiting so lonnnnggggg to try this delicious gem! We had the crab cakes and crab & artichoke dip for apps and our lunch entrees were the fried catfish sandwich with fries and the filet with mashed potatoes and collard greens. For bevvies, we tried their rosé and red zeppelin English ale. All of it, every bit and bite, was 10/10. Food breakdown: - Crab cakes: succulent lump crap meat within a lightly battered and flash fried coating. They come on a bed of arugula with a light dressing and dipping sauce for the cakes. Super yummy! - Crab & artichoke dip: ooey gooey deliciousness, perfect balance of cheese sauce too. You don't have to search for the crab or artichokes. And the fried naan chips were sliced long and thin, and could've been called naan fries actually. Perfect companion for the dip. - Fried catfish sammich: the piece of fish was huge and the batter was good. It came on Texas toast with fixins and tartar sauce. Won't lie, the only thing I wanted for was some hot sauce. That's a me problem... just gotta have hot sauce when I eat fried fish but I didn't ask for any while I was there (they may offer it) and still very much enjoyed the sandwich. - Filet: it was great... hubby got it medium and it arrived perfectly cooked. The Demi glaze sauce was so good and so were the sides. Their collard greens are seasoned up! I said does my auntie work here?! This cuisine is so comfortingly southern and didn't disappoint. Shoutout to our friendly and helpful server, Dan... our food and drinks came out quickly and so did our to-go box. His service was truly top notch. We have been living in Carmel for 5 years and this is one of the best restaurants here. If you're on the fence about trying this place, jump off and make a reservation. You won't regret it.
