    We split the ribs and chicken tenders dinner. It was delicious and there was plenty of food for two people. The croissant they bring you out when you first get there was delicious. Our server was amazing. They had plenty of parking.

    Girls lunch so decided to check out Cheddar's! We were immediately greeted by a lovely hostess, seated in a comfortable booth, the waiter appeared momentarily with a basket of warm honey-butter croissants. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, pleasant decor, with low noise impact. Food was serviced quickly, well plated, portions were perfect for our appetites. Would recommend the Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen to anyone who enjoyed a good home style meal.

    Landed here at peak dinner hour (5:30-6pm) and were able to be seated immediately while the place was packed. Service was a little slow to get going initially but once we received our drinks everything seemed to keep rolling. Food is always good here and pricing is excellent accompanied by a super casual atmosphere. Anytime a group of 6 can dine for under $100 (which included an appetizer) you're doing good!

    Cheddar's Trio Sampler

    So first we ordered onions rings and the server came back and asked us again what we ordered we told her. Then they bring us spinach dip told them we didn't order that and then they try to bring the spinach dip back again. Then told her for the fourth time we ordered onion rings. Then she brings us our dinner I order the trio sampler and honestly looks like someone threw the items on the plate. Then I tried the chicken and well even thought you could tell it was old by looking at it I tried it and it was dry and rubbery. We told the server and she said I figured and said she would bring me new ones she did, they were a little better but she didn't bring me 4 but 3 but at this point I wasn't going to complain anymore. The server showed use she was very unhappy to be there and the service showed that too in how she spoke to us and the looks she gave when we would ask for something. Have to say this is not the first time we have had horrible service or the food was not worth half of what they ask for. But I wanted to give them another try. Well that was the last time I come to this and maybe any Cheddar's. I go out to eat to have good service and good food and if I can't get at least one of those then why go back to the place if they prove time and time again they can't provide that.

    Good news, we made it back to Cheddar's. Bad news, it was beyond disappointing and will likely be our last visit. We stopped in on a Friday night. We were seated right away, but I later realized we were in the bar area. The booth was fairly tight and uncomfortable for a party of 4. Service was friendly but slow, which I didn't understand considering how few people were at the restaurant. My kids opted for a Jr burger off the kids meal. They got a drink and side. Fries and side salad were average, but the side of broccoli was inedible. I got chicken tenders. No flavor to the breading, so odd. Thank goodness for the honey mustard. The flavors of the food were pitiful. I hate when you leave a meal feeling like you wasted your money.

    Our waitress was great. Tried to get 2 different apps with no luck. The food was decent but not great.

    Cornmeal White Fish Platter, baked potato just plain, and Broccoli Cheese Casserole.

    A group of us dined in and sat with Alex. We were greeted immediately and Alex who was very…read moreattentive the entire time, even as needy as we were, which we apologized for in advance. We started with an order of corn bread and fried green tomatoes. The cornbread was served with Sorghum butter which I wasn't a huge fan of however I've been dreaming about those Fried Green Tomatoes ever since. They were served on top of Pimento Cheese, and covered in what seemed like a Chipotle sauce and as well as corn. They were fried to perfection, and the tomatoes were crisp. One of my friends got the deviled eggs which were also really good! I ordered their version of an espresso martini which I also wasn't a fan of, 10 / 10 don't recommend if you prefer them with real espresso so I switched to beer. It was a Thursday and they have a ton of TVs along with the Sunday ticket to watch Football so we were able to sit outside and watch the game which was nice. For my meal I got an order of 5 Chicken tenders and a basket of wedges to share. The chicken tenders were hand breaded, juicy and delicious!! I also got a few of the dipping sauce to try as well which were buffalo ranch, honey mustard, ranch and Jalapeño ranch and they were all really good and could tell they were homemade. The wedges were seasoned and were served with Chili Crunch Aioli which was fire! I also got to try the Mac and Cheese which was also really tasty! I can't wait to go back to try the other items on the menu!

    This is the more authentic Amish restaurant of the two in the area (Stoll's in Loogootee is the…read moreother one). That gives you a very obvious option if you want Amish style food. While this one does offer a buffet option, they don't have enough options to really make that worthwhile. The other place is the buffet place. This is the cafeteria place, but it's not as expensive, and the food is just as good. And you get plenty of it in the meal. I'm a big eater, and I'm always satisfied by the plate lunch. Outside of the building, you can see the farm where a lot of their food is grown. I've been here probably a dozen times, and each time was a treat, with fresh food from their local gardens and farms. Unlike Stoll's, they grow their own foods. Like I said, it's authentic Amish. The cafeteria style tables make for a more pleasant and comfortable atmosphere than Stoll's. Surprisingly, the restrooms here are cleaner than Stoll's, where the restrooms are often out of order. This is a much more pleasant experience at Schwartz's. The servers are very nice and helpful. There is a small area for their Amish store of honey, fresh vegetables, and other delights. Where they excel is their pies. While their competitor uses cheap packet pies, Schwartz's has homemade pies, all fresh. I highly recommend the blueberry cream pie and the peach pie. A nice view of the rural surroundings, even if it is on the highway, but so is the other Amish place. The atmosphere is very nice. There is a lot of good feeling in the air. Sometimes, there are folk style musicians in the adjoining room, if you go for that. This is a customer friendly place, and they care about what they do and about the people they serve.

    The food is mediocre, not a very large selection and quite often not exactly warm. And with the…read morebuffet, you only get one dessert.

    We had high hopes based on Eagle Louisville's stellar Yelp score. But we walked away disappointed…read morebecause of a major service lapse, curious food seasonings and discrepancies between menu descriptions and actual dishes. We arrived mid-afternoon on a Friday. We had a choice between sitting inside or being seated at a picnic table on the covered deck. We were assigned a high-top table in the dining area past the bar, where a few guys were watching a soccer match. The brine-soaked fried chicken is Eagle's specialty, so we ordered it. I thought the chicken was good,. So per the menu for the three-piece fried chicken meal, you can only order either all white meat or all dark meat. Interestingly, the two people at our table that ordered white meat still got a drumstick with their meat. The last I checked, drumsticks were considered dark meat. For an appetizer, we ordered the hush puppies. They had a nice crunchy texture but were very spicy hot. We also ordered the spoonbread. This was my favorite dish of the day. It was served warm, had a great texture and a light maple flavor. With our meals, we could get two sides. We requested the collard greens, green beans, fries, grits and mac & cheese. Only the mac & cheese was good. The collard greens were way salty and the green beans had odd and unexpected seasonings. Our dining companion was put out, and understandably so, that the menu said the grits came with white cheddar cheese. But instead, though the grits maybe had cheese, they were also loaded with loads of diced jalapeno. They were so over the top spicy, none of us could eat the grits. The fries were strongly seasoned with oregano. WTF? Our entrees came with biscuits. The biscuits were tasty, but unfortunately, because they contained too much shortening, fell apart when buttering them. And that leads up to the service lapse. After we received our check, our server completely disappeared. We waited a half hour for her to re-appear, gave up and asked another server to cash us out. He disappeared and we waited some more. Finally the red-headed server re-appeared and breezily explained she had been out on the deck the whole time. No apology or anything.

It was not the best food in the world but the food here tastes like home to me. Just really well seasoned and old school. Now here's my issue. This establishment had me wait almost 90 minutes on a 92 degree day (WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD) for two meals. They had already taken my money, otherwise I would have booked it. Here's what I ate: 1. Fried Pork Chop with mashed potaotes (they were out of potato salad) and greens, gravy on the side 2. Ribs with macaroni and cheese and Pinto Beans I also got a blackberry cobbler. I checked in after 30 minutes and they weren't sympathetic. I looked at these reviews later and saw that someone said the customer service at this establishment was hilarious and they were not kidding. Here's how everything tasted: Pork Chop: very flavorful, glad I got fried and not smothered for texture reasons Mashed potatoes: good and real, but nothing to write home about Ribs: They were okay. tender. tasted like they were boiled and that's not my preference...they were also swimming in sauce. I feel like ribs should be able to stand up without the sauce and I was not sure this could happen here. The bbq sauce is part of the dish for them. Greens: overly salted, underseasoned...they needed to be eaten by the pinto beans Pinto beans: absolutely no salt--would not order again Macaroni and cheese: this is the creamy kind, not the baked kind (not my preference. Gravy: excellent Blackberry Cobbler: FIVE STARS. Delicious, buttery, so tasty. I went home and tried to make one. Seriously: no notes here. It is a must try. Charging 2 dollars for a cup of kool-aid is insane. with this kind of customer services, it would be nice if they threw that sugar water in for free. I skipped it, but just thought I would mention if you plan on trying to have some for nostalgic reasons. I haven't had any in about 30 years and I was planning on it but not when I saw the price tag. I live in Illinois, but if I ever do visit again I will call my order in, go sight seeing and then pick up my food.

They could elevate the coffee service by putting a small container of actual cream on the table instead of the tiny plastic coffee containers that they use at McDonalds. Beignets - do NOT get. These are not traditional beignets. These are heavy, flat, limp square-shaped dough of unknown origin. They stick to the roof of your mouth - literally. Not ideal. We are from South Louisiana. Honestly, they would be better served using a mix from Cafe du Monde in New Orleans or Coffee Call in Baton Rouge. The mixes also are not as good as the places make them in Louisiana, but they would be a far better cry than what is being served. The grits and eggs are devoid of flavor. The eggs were fluffy though. The waffle...let's just say they'd be better off using a good commercial mix as well. Hampton Inn's are better for expectation purposes. The biscuits and gravy were good. The hash is basically cheesy potatoes and once you get beyond the misnomer of hash, they're really good. Maybe we ordered poorly, but I don't think that's the case.
