It's a chain. But it's a nice chain that serves cheap, good, consistent food. I am a huge fan of the monte cristo sandwich and the chicken fingers (especially with the waffles, yum!). The service can be a bit spotty but the people are usually friendly. read more

Good home-style food with variety, at a great price. I'm a regular and love the ranch dressing on everything!

Waiting.... Waiting.... Waiting.... We were told 30 minutes... 1 hour 30 minutes later ten of us jammed ourselves into a large both. There are only 2 table for large partys. Food was good. Would not recommend for large parties. read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Worth every penny. My daughter and I really enjoyed everything about it. Highly recommend.

Loved our food and so did our kids. The table next to us had a problem with their food and the head chef came out to talk with them. Wow ... that was impressive! p.s. The Texas tea was awesome! read more

I've been visiting this place since I was a kid, before they rebuilt the new one:) I love their food and you can't beat it for the prices. However, their customer service STINKS! I ordered take out one day and the bartender we dealt with was super rude and sarcastic with my husband and I. I won't go into detail, but it was bad enough that we did let the manager know and he pretty much denied that the bartender would say such a thing and insisted she must have been joking...Mind you we don't know the bartender girl from Sally, but anywho... It actually irritated me so that I made a complaint to the company online and never heard anything back. So whatever you do just don't expect great service, or you may be dissapointed. read more

Wow what great food had the talapia and the wife got ribs and streak. The fish was well seasoned perfectly. On top of very yummy rice. We wish we had one close to us we would be there all the time. read more

Cheddar's is acceptable but not something to write home about. I had fish taco's. The fish was slimy like It was still swimming. The black beans were good and my drink was refilled promptly. Our other entree was a chicken sandwich. It looked unappealing and was dry. Our waiter was fine, not particularly personable but brought out food and drinks fine, checked on us once and brought the bill. We're here on a business trip and won't be back to cheddars. Ordinary at best. read more

This is always a great place to go. Very good prices and extremely good service! The best chicken tenders you will ever have hands down! I don't recommend the mixed drinks they seem not to put much alcohol in them imo. But you can never go wrong at this place. read more

Terribly slow service and the restaurant is out of steak sauce, baked potatoes, chicken and rolls! Such poor management! Very disappointed!

A long time family favorite. I love the Parmesan Peppercorn Burger.

LOVE, Cheddars. I eat there often and have never had a bad experience. They have the best chicken tenders and the monster cookie with ice cream is so addicting! Great prices and they are very kid friendly. read more

Cheddar's used to be a great place to eat. Service and food was always good. Over the past few years, the service and quality of food have declined tremendously. I no longer recommend them to anyone and dont know if I will ever go back. read more

Unfortunately it may be another year before I return to Cheddars. The only one dish that we ordered the restaurant was out. So second choice was New Orleans Pasta noodles under cooked we never got our toast with the meals, waited a long time for drink refills. Never cleaned dirty dishes from table once we were done. Not impressed with the overall experience. read more

Went here on a Wednesday evening and there was no wait. Ordered a Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes, and some green beans. Food came out quick and hott. The chicken fried steak was nothing short of amazing, and the gravy was something I'd consider taking a bath in it was so good. In addition to the great food, our server Michelle L. was absolutely amazing as well. Super nice, and fun to talk to. I'll definitely be back to Cheddar's! read more

I've been here a few times. It's basically very similiar to an Applebees but I prefer the food here. It is also priced a little lower than Applebees. Service has been above average on all three visits. There is a seperate bar area from the main dining area. They run some pretty good drink specials too. I recommend it for a casual dining lunch or dinner. read more

This place is the Lansing areas best kept secret. The food is fantastic. Mostly made fresh on site. Portions are big, and the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere and service are great. The coffee is a special treat, and in my oppinion the best in town. Great for a date night, a family outing, or small group. read more

Shamoore was the reason I gave it four stars. Between the over cooked steak, no onions on the steak, slow bartender with the drink order. He really saved the experience. Would enjoy working along side a server like him where I work. Thanks for being a server who cares about his job. I will go back if he is working read more

Where do I start? When first seated server was right there to greet us, took our drink orders and then it went down hill. He stopped several times within a 20 min span with a different excuse each time as to why we had not gotten our drinks! After sitting for over 25 mins we left! Restaurant was not that busy so not quite sure the delays. Was once our favorite but not much any more. read more

This is the second time we have had a negative experience at this location. We thought the first time was a fluke but unfortunately the second time was even worse. Had to ask twice for a high chair and twice for water. Food took 30 minutes after we placed our order to arrive. We ordered a salad and sandwich when we got our order food was only okay. read more

The food is awesome--- the drinks are amazing. The prices are unbelievable. You just better be prepared for a long leisurely meal because it's slow. If they doubled the staff this place would be perfection. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Yes, the prices maybe great but it's so not worth it when you get horrible service. Management is non-existent on the floor and the food is not out in a timely manner. This has happened to me 3 times now and I will never go back. It's unfortunate because when they first opened, they were awesome. read more

We usually go for lunch....order side salads and onion rings. Best stuff ever! In all the years, only a few times have we encountered poor service, BUT the manager steps right in to fix it. The GREAT onion rings bring us back every time~ read more

The service is TOP shelf, even when I get bad service as in food being delayed, the manager is first rate. I was there on Mother's day, it was busy busy busy and we didn't see our meal for about an hour. We didn't have to say a word, the manager came over to us, apologized, gave us complimentary free everything. Never a bad experience and also I must say the best chicken strips ever. I've had chicken strips in many a places and Cheddar's has the juiciest, crispiest, biggest and most versatile (use in in other dishes) chicken strips on the planet. read more

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff was friendly and smiling. The food was delicious. I'd definitely go back again.

Went there for lunch once and had heard good things about it. The waiter was rude and seemed to intentionally be slow in his service. Finally I said to our party after an hour of waiting for our lunch, "let's go because clearly they don't want us here." The server who had been nearby doing nothing got an Oh shit! expression on his face and rushed to get us our food. The plates were super hot from having sat under the heat lamps confirming what I had thought. That the food was just sitting under the lamps as our waiter did other things. Sign number two, that our waiter was just letting our food over cook under the heat lamps was that the lettuce for my burger was badly wilted from being under the heat lamp for so long. As that was my first experience, there will not be a second. read more

The restuarant was loud. They tried to seat us right next to screaming kids. The lady behind us was loud also. We went to the bar for a drink because no one served us. The drinks were extremely overpriced. We ended up leaving and going to Logan's. read more

I ordered the Monte Cristo tonight. It was a large helping, but was prepared unlike any I'd ever had before. Typically, the batter is a french toast batter. This had a thick batter, like you'd see on fish and it was deep fried. It was far too greasy for me. I brought part of it home, but the grease is bothering me, so I won't be finishing it. I've like other food from Cheddars, but this one will not get me back. read more

We go to Lansing 4 to 5 times a year and always stop at Cheddars. Today we left after 10 minutes. No waiter or waitress. Understandable if busy but they weren't. Food is still good but quality of service has been steadily declining. No longer a regular stop for us now. read more

Made the mistake of arriving an hour before closing on a Thursday night. Most of the food was cold and unappetizing, like they had already shut down the kitchen and were serving leftovers. I hope the quality is better during regular meal hours, but I'm not going back to find out. read more

First of all I will say the food was delicious, but that is the only good thing I can say about this place. Like a lot of the other reviews I found the service to be awful. We had placed our order and 40 minutes later we still had not received it. I asked to speak to a manager who went and checked on it and came back and our ticket had only been in for 15 minutes and our waitress told her we took a long time to order. So basically the manager was saying her waitress was right. After that our waitress had an attitude. When we left we were never told have a good day or anything. The sad thing is I drove an hour there to just eat dinner there for my sons 16th badly with family. I was very disappointed with them. They don't even do anything for birthdays. also not very kid friendly read more

My wife will tell you that I am a food snob. I disagree. I just want good food served promptly by a pleasant person. This is why I generally despise chain restaurants. You normally get premade food served by someone working a part time gig who couldn't care less about your dining experience. Cheddars was not like this. Firstly, all the food was fresh, made from scratch, and tasty. Not haute cuisine by any means, but they don't pretend that it is. Secondly, our server, Kaitlin was absolutely stellar! Friendly, courteous, and upbeat even though it was Father's Day and she was slammed! Our apps came out quickly, followed by perfectly timed entrees, our glasses were never empty, and she was kind enough not to interrupt our daddy daughter time unnecessarily. What a pro! Thanks Kaitlin. If you ever move to Oakland county, look me up at the Union Woodshop, I will see that you are hired on the spot! Chicken fried steak was crispy and delicious, spinach dip was creamy, hot and tasty and my daughter loved the philly steak sandwich. Corn and mashed potato sides were also tasty, not just plate fillers. Thanks cheddars, thanks Kaitlin for a very satisfying Father's Day dinner! read more

We have been to Cheddars several times. Often we have to wait from 15 minutes to an hour, so i was surprised today when we were seated immediately. They have always had good food and service in the past, but today's visit was disappointing. We waited over 1/2 hour for our food and when my order came it was not complete. It took 15 minutes to get the remainder of my items. Our waiter basically ignored us, never refilling our drinks or checking to see how our meal was. I will definitely not be going back to cheddars any time soon. read more

My family and our close friends came about 2 hours to come to this establishment. We tried to make a reservation earlier this week and we were told we could not. We also called 30 min before we arrived and they informed us that we were not allowed to be on the waiting list unless we had at least one member of our party at the establishment and when we arrived they seemed shocked a group had arrived. We have now been sitting here for over a half hour while at least 15 people have been seated. When we arrived a gentleman spoke to a member of our group and said that we could not be sat sooner unless we were in a booth. We have multiple members with handicaps and a booth would make it worse. We were not treated as important as other patrons and the staff was rude. We love the food here and traveled a long way to be here so it would have been nice to be able to plan ahead and be treated like a priority We ordered onion rings and we were told that they were out. This was what we came here to have. We told our waitress and they said they would "make it work". Are they going to think really hard and hope they happen or did they lie to us about not having the ingredients. We after now an hour are finally being sat. Our waitress Lanie was amazing but she was the only staff member that was good. The food tasted fine but it was not a good experience read more

I just finished dining at Cheddars and it was the best dining experience that I have had in years. Our waiter, Victor was simply outstanding. He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We could not decide what dessert we wanted. Victor paid for one of our desserts and Wow! They were both delicious. We were also given complimentary chocolate chip cookies for choosing to dine at Cheddars. The food was amazing. I truly enjoyed my dining experience and will definitely come back! read more

The food here was AH-MAZING! And I'm usually unimpressed with restaurants! I had the blackened redfish sandwich and it was phenomenal. Our waiter Victor! Man, ask that man what's good and he will recommend something that will blow yo taste buds out your mouth! HE'S THE MAN! I felt like I was in food heaven. I've been asleep all these years, but cheddars have awakened me to FLAVOR. I needed Jesus to return my soul to my body after my soul had flown to cloud 10. And the mac and cheese...it was like it was dusted by the hairs of Jesus and blessed by the good Lord himself. I WILL BE BACK. read more

Simply put, for the price you pay, you get a good "quantity" of food, but I'd say it lacks "quality". Personally, I would rather pay a little more to dine elsewhere. read more

I'm not from around here and was visiting a family member in the area. This place had mixed reviews so I was a little worried but I didn't need to. The food was great. We had the beer battered shrimp and fish tacos. I like coming to local restaurants and this one didn't disappoint. The menu had a lot of options. read more

Was our first time here. Went there for mother's day dinner and it was the WORST experience we've ever had. Food came out over cooked and cold. Our bill was incorrect. The waitress was rude and the manager was useless! Don't go here , even if you're starving! read more

Took a big crowd there today, who are mostly vegetarians. We had great food. We also were impressed with the low prices. I had an Asian salad minus the chicken. Very tasty and little bit spicy but I could've asked for no dressing. Someone enjoyed their fried chicken and smashed potatoes. Another person was having the mashed potato soup but found out they had bacon in it and send it back. Several took vegetable plants and enjoyed them. Others had some sandwiches that were delicious. Waiter was very helpful. Atmosphere very nice. Very accommodating. read more
