This restaurant just blew us away. Saturday night and super busy, but we were seated right away and our food came out almost immediately. And the food was amazing. Our server Jayla was awesome and very attentive. We are still talking about what an incredible experience it was. This restaurant runs like a well oiled machine. Best dining experience we ever had. Did I mention that the food was delish? So great. We are going to make this our weekly stop. read more

Horrible Service including manager! Everyone's order was grossly incorrect manager treated us as if it was a favor to bring correct order... read more

Very poor service, waited 2+ hours to get our food for the server to come and tell us that "someone" threw away the ticket had to stand up more than two times to talk to a manager, lost my appetite and still had to wait for my bill. My raspberry lemonade had no raspberry in it. Out server came a total of 3 times in the whole stance. Would not recommend. Samaria was such a bad server read more

Have been here a couple times. Came this afternoon with a friend- sat in the bar. Took about 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us- there were about 6 waiters hanging around the bar area on break and eating. The bartender is eating food while working behind the bar, a waitress literally came to deliver food to her table with her cell phone at her ear. It was a madhouse. No one seemed to care at all about what they should be doing. We were both a little dumb founded. Mainly because while all of this is going on the manager is around the whole time and seems just as sloppy as the waitstaff. Food is good but everything about the service and atmosphere was horrible. I take that back- our entrees took about 40 minutes to get and both were cold. Overall terrible experience. read more

Do not repeat do not go here. Service was terrible waited for cold food, couldn't even eat the cold food because I didn't have a fork with my knife. I Talked to the manager basically he was like it's Friday and what I can do for you is limited!! Even the people behind my table had a terrible experience! This place is a waste of time if you come at night.!! read more

We haven't been to Cheddars in a while. That helped us to see that they are cutting corners on some things. No croissants with salads, for instance, and a few other things. Besides that: the ladies restroom was filthy. I hope the kitchen is kept cleaner! My son and I both ordered medium steaks. His came out borderline rare. Mine had no pink. We asked for lemons 3 times and finally received them. We had to ask for refills. Basically, our waitress seemed too preoccupied to care for us but was very attentive to a couple tables around us. One of them she actually sat down at. I hope its just this LR Cheddars that is changing and not all of them! We've always loved it. read more

Chicken fried chicken is bomb with mashed and broccoli casserole. And the honey rolls are fire

1st off they wasn't busy. I did an online order/curbside so I wouldn't have to go in. But guess what I had to go in. I was missing an item. I wanted 5 mins for it. By time I got it my order was cooked. The curbside girl had an attitude. I had to get my money back and go somewhere else. I already don't mess with them like that but really wanted something from there. They will not be getting my business anymore. read more

I came here with my husband and two kids on a week night. It wasn't too busy and I don't believe we waited very long if at all. The restaurant was clean and our waitress was very friendly. I ordered a margarita on the rocks which was very delicious. The rolls are amazing!! The sampler appetizer was delicious as well. Our food didn't take long to come out. I had pasta and was stuffed to the max by the end of dinner. We will definitely be returning soon! read more

Love their cheese and spinach dips but got up and left during our last visit due to the service. The waitress seemed to be out of it when she arrived at our table about 15 minutes after we were seated. She never greeted us just asked what we wanted to drink. Sensing this wouldn't be a good visit, I went to the hostess station and asked to be seated in a different section but was told a manager would have to make that decision. Waited about 10 minutes for the manager to show up but they didn't...we didn't see the waitress during this time either so, we decided to leave. read more

We all had chicken and shrimp dinner. My wife and guest had fried shrimp which was great as were the sides. However, I had the grilled shrimp and it was terrible. The seasoning was so much all i could taste was salt. So bad I could only eat one. Very poorly cooked. At the end of the meal was offered to have it replaced. Declined since everyonewas done eating. I thought they would have at least comped a couple bucks but I was wrong. But at least I learned to rethink my choices for where i spend my money. read more

We came in and our waitress, Lindsay was OFF HER ROCKER. You could easily tell she was strung out on xanax. She was about to literally fall asleep taking our order. In other exciting news after dealing with that snooze fest of a waitress our food was at most mediocre. read more

The four of us had a most memorable evening at Cheddars. We walked in and was seated immediately. Our server was a jewel. The food was great and we couldn't have asked for better service. This was the Valentines weekend and the restaurant was full but service was outstanding. We ordered all of this and more;ribs, pasta, steak, chicken tenders, loaded potatoes. Of course the honey buttered bread was up to expectations. Great experience! read more

EVERY time I go I have horrible service! Managers are horrible they, servers are worst! The service ruins ANY opportunity to enjoy your food. I literally work across the street an I always end up waiting 30 additional minutes for my food that's already cooked just sitting on the bar because the staff has horrible communication problems so no one knows where the food is read more

I have been to this location a few times previously and didn't have very good experiences. This time was different. The staff was very friendly and gave good service and the food came out warm and exactly how I expected it. I don't think that Cheddars is the best restaurant in the area but I was pleased with my experience tonight. read more

My wife and I got a Cheddar's gift card recently. We ordered the onion rings as an appetizer and had to take half of them home! I ordered the steak and ribs and they were delicious. The ribs were literally "fall off the bone" tender. The sirloin was pretty good, too. My wife ordered the lemon pepper chicken and to half of it home as well. She said it was well-flavored. The atmosphere was very pleasing. The noise level was a bit louder than we'd like for a quiet dinner, but it certainly didn't ruin the evening. Our server was very courteous, helpful, and efficient. We'll definitely be back! It is a perfect " change of pace" place to eat. read more

We love this place. Even when they are shorthanded, the managers get busy! Food is hot and good!

Cheddar's is usually hit or miss. This time it was a miss. Only because it was so busy and they seemed to be understaffed and overwhelmed. The inside was packed so we went to the bar like we usually do. the bar tender was very attentive and was trying to service as many people as she could. Kitchen seemed to be running slow today so we couldn't fault her for that. Food was good, not great. They have great prices and good food and that's what keeps me coming back. read more

This is my second time eating at Cheddar's...and the fifth time to step in the door. I watched a booth that could sit 6 people sit uncleaned for approximately 45 minutes, and in the same span of time watched two 4-seating tables sit vacant and clean...as two families of 3 and 4 people waited for a table (and had been since I arrived). When our party of 8 was finally seated, we ordered our drinks. Wait about 15 minutes. Finally ordered the food and didn't even receive our food until 7 PM...we arrived at 5:40 PM and we were seated at around 6:15. When our food finally arrived, several of our group complained of their food being lukewarm while one order was hot and fresh--as if several orders had been sitting waiting to move to its respective table for that last order to finish cooking. Also, dinner portions were abysmally small and (although this isn't the point of the review) not very reasonably priced. Disappointment at every turn. To top it off, the waitress seemed to get a bit less-than-favorable when we politely mentioned our dissatisfaction. read more

I had the half club sandwich with a bowl of potato soup and a house salad. Food was excellent with the exception of the salad. It was room temperature and that is not good in my book. However it did come with a warm crescent roll with honey butter so that made up for the salad some. The sandwich was fine but the potato soup was excellent. Service was okay. My soup and sandwich came but no salad. I was about 5 minutes into my lunch when the salad arrived. It was about 1:30, not crowded at all and my server seemed a little overwhelmed. I'd give this visit a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 and I will visit this Cheddar's again read more

Wait time is RIDICULOUS!!! I understand that restaurants get busy, but when you are waiting 30-40 minutes & there are "cleared tables" in front of you, that is very frustrating! We spoke with Tim (the manger) about the matter & he, less than compassionately, gave a "textbook" response. POOR service, DISSATISFIED customers, NO RETURN! read more

I would have rated this place a 4 if the service was better. I still frequent here but I never expect much from the servers. I go there for the decent prices and usually decent food. I like their soups and their salmon. The service has never been that great but keeps getting worse... Sad because it's located next to the mall and such a great place to grab lunch between shopping visits! read more

Horrible service. Waited 15 minutes just to order drinks. Ten minutes later drinks arrived and I orders the same thing I do every time, the chicken wrap no cabbage and was told I could not get the wrap like that so I asked for a manager. Ten minutes later he came to our table, even though he never offered an apology for the poor service he asked for my order. I told him I told him I want the wrap and fries. He tells me I cannot get fries with the wrap. Seriously people how hard is it to make a tortilla with a chicken strip in it and put it on a plate with fries!!! However what made me get up and just leave was the waiter going through the dinning room in a loud voice saying "what's wrong with these people, I'm so damn busy and they be complaining". Now I understand it gets busy at times, bottom line that is no excuse for your poor rude attitude. I will never be back. read more

To be fair: if I could give cheddars ZERO stars, I would. Absolute WORST dining experience ive ever had. This whole place is a total embarrassment. Let me tell you how our cheddars experience went: We arrived at cheddars at 6pm on a Thursday night, it was for one of my best friends birthday dinner. She had called previously and asked if we could make a reservation or call ahead as we would have a large party (10 people) they said no, we would just have to arrive and wait. Okay that's fine, we arrive @ 6 they tell us it'll be a 1 hr long wait. Fine. And then the hour is up and they have seemingly forgotten us, when asked if we would be seated soon they ask if we would take back to back booths for quicker seating, we ask how much longer for a table for ALL of us? Not long- 15-20 minutes. So we waited. And waited. And waited. 2 hours after our initial arrival were sat. Needless to say at this point we are frustrated and starving. The host THEN informs us (after 2 hours of waiting) that they only have 2 large tables in the entire restaurant and that's why our seating took so long, hmm could you not have informed us of this at the beginning? We wouldn't have held our breath, we could've hit up chic fil a! They give us free appetizers. They're just average. Basic queso and jarred salsa. Chips cold. Forgot my water. Ordered a CHICKEN sandwich, they serve me a chicken sandwich-- with FISH mixed in it. I run to the bathroom to vomit because I do not EAT fish and if I order chicken I want chicken not fish dammit. Also the bathrooms were in AWFUL condition- for a restaurant that just recently opened up everything seems I be falling Apart and their trash can is the size of a small child's can, it was overflowing with paper towels all over the floors. Disgusting. So moral of the story, kids- I will NEVER go back to another cheddars in my life. I recommend you don't either, unless you enjoy wasting lots of time, being treated rudely, and eating chicken-fish- then maybe cheddars is for you. read more

We needed somewhere to eat for the night while in Little Rock, and we had an excellent time here. We had the friendliest waiter who went by the nickname "Chef" and he put smiles on all of our faces. Yummy food from a large selection all for a good price. Very pretty environment We loved Cheddar's! read more

Went here today for lunch. It was very crowded (11:45 on Wednesday) and it took about 15 minutes to be seated. Once seated, it took quite awhile to get our drinks (from the bar). Our waitress was very good, friendly, and delivered everything we requested. The food was okay--I had the lunch special. The "loaded baked potato" is just a potato with sour cream and cheese. They were out of the baked potato soup I requested. The double-decker club was good, but had a TINY lunch-sized portion, and the caesar salad tasted okay, but had way too much dressing. My favorite parts of the meal were the honey croissant and the drink I ordered--the Painkiller. I would go again because it's cheap, but I wouldn't seek it out or recommend highly to friends. read more

I have eaten at Cheddars in Dallas, TX and Cheddars in Jonesboro, AR and I loved them both so was happy that Little Rock had one open up. My boyfriend and I went to this Cheddars on a Monday night at 8:00 pm. We were seated right away at a booth in the bar, which we had requested. It took over 30 minutes for our waitress ("Candace") to bring us water. Another 15-20 minutes and she brought our drinks and took our dinner order. She was unfriendly and had no manners. I ordered a blackened salmon dinner with a plain baked potato and side salad. My boyfriend ordered the chicken ciabatta sandwich, broccoli and side salad. We got our salads first and they were the worst house salads that we have ever had. My boyfriend's came with extra hair in his, so we sat those aside without eating them. The waitress came back about 30 minutes later, picked up our salad bowls and walked off. When she brought our dinners, my boyfriend's broccoli was rotten (he tasted one bite and spit it out). He said his sandwich was dry, stale & tasteless and he couldn't eat it. My dinner was delivered wrong. It was grilled salmon and when I told our waitress that I had ordered blackened, she picked my plate up, rolled her eyes and walked away. Our waitress also delivered food to the table next to us and they all got their main entrees first and they asked where their salads were and I heard her tell them that they would be out shortly. Then, they did get their salads, but after they were eating their entrees. We were never offered refills on our water or if we would like a second drink. My boyfriend asked to talk to the Manager for our issues. They never came so after 20-30 minutes, my boyfriend went to the front desk and asked again to talk to the Manager. Was told that "She will be right with you." He came back to our table, waited another 15 minutes before a male manager came to ask what the problem was. We assume it was the Food manager. He apologized for the problems and said he could comp our dinners (which we had barely touched). We just wanted to pay and get out of there. It's too bad because the restaurant is comfortable and is nice on the inside, but we will never ever go back. And, having an unfriendly waitress that acts as if you're wasting her time certainly does not make customers want to return. read more

I ordered from here about two or three months after they opened and all I have to say is $hitty service! My coworkers and I wanted to try something new for lunch one day, and we made the mistake of placing an order with them. My boss actually remained on the line with them for over 30 minutes in order to place that stupid order. After he was placed on hold, no one came back on the line to check in on him. Workers "inadvertently" picked up the line but placed him back on hold when they found out he was on hold to place on order. If they're busy, they could've given him a status update. When he finally hung up to try again, the person on the other line sounded like they didn't give a crap. I would have called it quits at this point, but my boss had his mind set on it and didn't want to waiver. When he got there to pick up the order, he waited a good 30 or 45 minutes after his quoted time. The food is run-of-the-mill and forgettable. It wasn't inedible or awful, it was forgettable and isn't worth the wait. Why do people wait in line for this crap? If you like Applebee's you'd love it here. If you're with a group of picky eaters, this place is for you since the menu is large and standard. Oh this place is great for kids. Bring your kids here. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. This is the worst place to go in town. I sat at the bar. Didnt get greeted for about 10 minutes. Bartender was sitting in booth on her phone. She was cussing loudly. When I finally got her attention she walked behind bar and said what do you want. Excuse me for coming in. I thought I ealked into a restaurant to eat. I had to ask what her name was. It was Jennifer. After I ordered I headed to restroom to walk hands. I incidently walked into kitchen instead of restroom hallway. The kitchen was A MESS! There was trash everywhere and plates sitting on the floor. I went to front to let a manager know to cancel my food. The host said that the manager was too busy to come talk and started laughing. They pointed to managers. I walked out and called. I asked the host what the managers names were. Come to find out it was the GENERAL manager LARRY and SERVICE manager MATT that was sitting on a bench. No wonder this place is a piece of crap! Scared to eat here ever again. read more

This place just opened up so I expected the wait to be long. With this in mind i went for a late lunch around 1:00 and found the wait time to be 45/60 min. This is the only reason for 3 stars, because the food was good, the staff was friendly, but having to wait for 40 min when its already 1 was not a good idea on my part. I look forward to coming back but for an early dinner so I'm not feeling rushed and have time to consider my food options beyond a burger read more

I have no idea why this place has only 2.5 stars, who are these people? Anyway, my first experience at Cheddar's was amazing. My boyfriend and I just stopped here for lunch after a hard morning of shopping (ha) and I was impressed. The drinks are delicious and effective, and my salad was fresh and HUGE. Love the giant fans and open atmosphere, including the awesome fish tank! Our waitress was friendly and attentive. It was super crowded when we went but the wait wasn't bad, and it was totally worth it. You HAVE to try their frozen drink specials. Just do it. Can't wait to come back for more! read more

Great food, fast service. I arrived at 11:15am and was seated immediately. I ordered chicken strips, shrimp, Mac & cheese, & corn. Everything was delicious & Sydney was an attentive server. The shrimp were fresh & the breading was light & crunchy. The chicken was also cooked perfectly. Their Mac & cheese is always my favorite! read more

Horrible service. Waited 15 minutes for drink order to be taken. Waited another 15 minutes for drinks to be delivered. They served my 5 year old child a drink in a glass with no lid. The server said they didn't have cups with lids. We were able to get one from the bartender. She also got the flatware our table. We waited over an hour for our meal, it never arrived. They still charged us $30 for our drinks and appetizer. No manager could be found and no explanation was given. Our first and LAST visit. I have never been in a restaurant that was operated this poorly. Deserves 0 stars. read more

Stopped in for a quick light lunch and instead of waiting for a table decided to sit at the bar for some soup and a beer. We ordered two bowls of house potato soup, a glass of water and a bottle of beer. The beer and water came, and I asked for a cold glass to pour the beer into. We waited 20 minutes for the soup to come and only after we asked the server went back to check on the order. 20 minutes waiting for soup is WAY too long. The soup arrived, and the server handed us a package of "to-go" plastic utensils. She explained that all the spoons in the restaurant were dirty and in process of being washed, but when she saw the looks on our faces, she went back to wash a couple spoons on her own. Good move. Still no glass for the beer at this point, so I asked again and was told they were all hot from being washed. (Simple solution would be to fill a warm glass with ice for a few minutes, but I guess this didn't occur to her.) The soup was okay, but no enough to overcome the rest of the "experience" eating at this place. It's an inexpensive place to eat, but in this case, you almost don't even get what you pay for on the cheap. If you're a fan of this place, then more power to you, but I won't be going back. If you think I'm being too harsh, please note that I rarely give one star reviews on Yelp. read more

Worst place ever. Not for food, but for service. I will never go there again. There were a lot of staff standing around. We were ignored for 10 minutes after we were seated. Never got checked on after we got our food. Only had one drink for our whole meal. We ate with empty glasses and only offered anything when we were done with our meal. They suck. Don't eat there unless you want to wait for hours to get any service. And there were only two of us dining. read more

Got the Monte Crisco and French Fries and it was great. Lovely meal, I think I will try to make this at home. Excellent waitress, she keep my drink full and almost made sure on every water refill that I got my lemon and also in my coke. I can say that this young lady paid attention to detail and was very polite and got my meal to me and my family in a timely manner and it wasn't over cooked or burnt. LOVELY... I will revisit this place again due to the waitress. Hope there's more like her waitresses like her or hope to have her again and I left a nice fresh $20 on top of the gratuity, thanks read more

I was very impressed with this place. I will admit, it did take weeks of trying before I was able to get in, without having to wait more than 20min. I tried it out around 4:30-5 on a friday evening and had no problem getting seated. As I was ordering, it was really starting to fill up. Service was great. Food was great. Very budget friendly. The food portions are massive. Chicken fried steak and spasanga (layered baked spaghetti, similar to lasagna) were very good and there were plenty of left overs. read more

Place was horrible. I took some friends of mine here who's son was in children's hospital. We waited for 45 minutes to be seated, 2 hours for our food to be told by the waitress that she had lost our ticket and had to take our order again. We shouldve walked out but I asked to speak to the manager which was a great glimpse as to why the waitress was rude and poorly trained. He never even looked us in the eye after we had to flag him down to get an explanation on what was taking our food so long. He ended up telling us to leave because he felt as though I was yelling at him. I hope this place shuts down and they put a chucky cheese or something in its place because cheddar just ain't cutting it. read more

Cheddars casual dinning cafe , Hmmm where to start ? There is a laundry list of terrible things to say to kick off this review. But the food isn't one of them. The line cooks/chefs work hard to always keep the food consistent & delicious when I'm dinning in , so great job guys ! Now.... The service is a whole different ball game , if you wanted a drink or to even order food be prepared to wait at least till hell freezes over , and If they bring you the wrong beverage which happens 100% of the time be prepared to wait till the cows come home for them to get it right . After you have waited for a minimum of 100 years, I mean 45 minutes Your food and the appetizer will always comes out at the same time so if your super hungry and didn't want to enjoy your food separately that could be a HUGE advantage for you. Btw I'm pretty sure most of the people " fit a description" or look like a familiar Mug shot that dine and serve there. Not kidding. Our sever had tear drop tattoos all over her face , I didn't know they allowed severs to have their nails that long or that many piercings , I was like WHOAH this is pretty epic like a page right of of US weekly on what not to wear EVER! Now I've eaten here at least 5 times in the last 2 years , to you know give them a chance to redeem themselves from the last disaster I had experienced but just as aspected Cheddars is not only consistent with the great food when you get it but also a bad dinning experience. IF your looking for a long wait time for : beverage, food, or dessert or even a chance to relive a scene from the show Cops then THIS is the place FOR YOU! And really one star is too much credit, maybe a HALF star would be more appropriate . read more

First of all, on the positive side, they have beautiful ceiling fans! Now, to the rough part. We arrived there at 3:30 PM on a Sunday afternoon and was told the wait would be about 20 minutes. We went to the bar and sat for 15+ minutes, saw the bartender standing by the register at the bar, but he apparently didn't want to take a drink order. We went back outside and smoked a cigarette and then returned to the bar. At that time a different person came and took a drink order. We were called to our table a bit after that - our total wait was about 45 minutes. We went to the table and placed our order. We had 2 main courses, 2 drinks and an appetizer. First thing that arrived was my chicken fried steak - I explained that we haven't had our drinks delivered yet or our appetizer. Our appetizer arrives about 10 minutes later, and then immediately the other person in my party received their main course. Mind you, they had not received their salad yet. A little later I received my food again. We were in the zone near the kitchen and people were running into each other and very noisy. Apparently, there are many more staff than needed since many were standing around. We reach the end of the dinner and I ask about the salad and roll. The salad finally arrived at the time with the dessert. I did complain to the manager, however, he was busy seating people while 3 hostess were standing around him. Apparently, their 1 week of training prior to opening was insufficient and no one had experience in a restaurant before. I hope they get better service - the food was good, however, service lacked heavily. Cheddar's, bring some experienced staff in from Dallas to help train the Little Rock Staff! read more
