Someone came after us and got a table before us twice! Said I'd never come back here after the last time. Eating my words for sure.

Friendly staff and bartender, good fresh food, awesome fish tank

Came to cheddars for dinner , had great service from Dawn at the bar , she is very outgoing , knows her menu . Cold beer at inexpensive price . Good place to watch Monday night football . read more

The food was pretty good, but the service was HORRIBLE. The server forgot my daughters drink was never brought, and even when we mention to the server that their Caesar salad tasted super lemony, he just said thanks and took them away. Definitely not the best example of cheddars. read more

The food is okay. Costs too much for what you get. I have been multiple times and it always takes forever, and when I get my food it is always barely warm(like it's been sitting out too long). Most of the time my service was ok. Not a choice place to eat in Lubbock in my opinion. read more

I was staying at the hotel behind Cheddars so it was easy for to go orders and everything we had was perfect very good my go to place when in Lubbock read more

We haven't been in a few years just because we don't think about it. I was very impressed. Most of the time you look around a restaurant and see all of the cobwebs - well there were none to be found- impressed. The younger wait staff were very polite and timely - impressed. The food was enough for two people to share - it was hot and had a great homemade flavor - again impressed. Great job and kudos all around. Darla Smith read more

I wish there was a way to give zero stars, because that would be my selection for Cheddar's. I've heard of getting things wrong on a meal here and there, but 3 of the 4 people in my family of four had something wrong with our meals. I ordered the nachos, and the chips came out burnt. My dad ordered red beans and rice, and they had absolutely no flavor, and one of the other meals wasn't cooked properly. A nice waiting staff can't compensate for an incompetent cooking staff. If you enjoy a nice, casual American dining experience stick with Chili's, Friday's, Buffalo Wild Wings, or Applebee's. If you enjoy paying for messed up orders and poor food quality, this is the place for you! read more

The service was good, our waiter was a young girl and though she looked a bit sloppy she was very pleasant and accommodating to the baby we had in our party. The food was yummy; I had the grown up grilled cheese and my boyfriend had the club. We split out meals together and I thought both sandwiches were a little to greasy but they were still edible and good. The other two with us both had the Monte Christo and it looked good. They both thought it was delicious. Overall, the food was ok and the service was good. read more

Great food (especially the broccoli and rice casserole) and their drinks are made very well and they are really cheap. Great place to go for happy hour! Service has always been great and we were seated and served shortly after entering the restaurant. read more

Imagine an Applebee's, but with good food. The food was very good AND made from scratch. I ordered the blackened catfish with green beans and macaroni. It was like $10 which surprised me but the bartender said its cheap because they don't advertise like the other guys. Anyway I'm definitely coming back. Check it out. read more

Good food, I recommend the croissant and chicken fried chicken. Only negatives was the tea was weak and the patrons a few tables away were loud and obnoxious to my party as well as others trying to enjoy the fine meal. read more

Kids meal came out wrong, saw a man with a young child drop something and two servers just walk by and not help him. Our server was never around. No refills were offered, we asked and only got one after 10 minutes waiting. The manager came and made no apologies, just excuses about how busy they were. They were not near capacity. Very disappointed. read more

Me and my mom and grandma went to go eat, we sat down and the waitress was really nice and said our meal would be out shortly. Little did we know that shortly actually meant 40 minutes. We sat there for 40 minutes straight and not once did our waitress apologize for the wait or ask how we were doing. We saw our waitress 3 times through our whole experience there, first to get our order, then after we got our food to ask how it was and then lastly for the check. She was more worried about her other customers, like this couple who got there 30 minutes after us and got their food not even 5 minutes after we did, they even got the check and left before we did. I have never had such bad service at a restaurant, and when we finally got our food, my chicken was not cooked and our food was cold. I will never be coming here again. read more

Have always gotten good food and service here but today, not so much. There were 5 adults and 4 children in our group. Waited about an hour for our food. My hamburger had no mayo on it. Had to ask for some. Another in our group ordered chicken fried steak. When it came her bread was under the steak and gravy. Everything tasted good but slow slow slow. read more

On 12/14/18 at approximately 2035 i called in hopes of ordering a Cookie Monster because they are good. I was greeted by a rude young lady who then transferred me to the bartender who then picked up the phone and hung up. I called back a second time and the young lady again was rude transferred me again and hung up on a second time. My third call was answered by Devon who got my name wrong when i asked for a manager. Was put on hold then hung up on again. Cheddar employees need to learn phone etiquette. read more

The atmosphere is great and I love the way it looks. The bar is very nice as well. I love to go and get their drinks during happy hour, they have some great deals. The food is great most of the time, unless I order chicken there then I always get sick afterwards. Service is okay, not too bad and nothing special either. read more

Horrible service. As I am currently sitting inside waiting on a manager, I will never EVER be back here.

My family and I love this place! It's casual, the food is yummy and it's not too pricey! I always get the chicken strips and grilled shrimp but their Brocolli rice casserole is to die for! I have had some bad waiters in the past but Management ALWAYS took care of things for us if if needed. If you want a great place to have lunch, a casual dining experience or if you just want to hang out at the bar, this is the place to go. Don't forget to try their Pain Killer alcoholic mixed drink and their queso/salsa and chips! read more

Just had the worst service ever tonight. And I am 60 years old! Good food and very good prices were completely over shadowed by a poorly trained and apathetic wait staff. read more

I had the lemon pepper chicken with a baked sweet potato and steamed broccoli and it came with a yummy white rice! Our waiter was awesome and very charismatic! You need to come here!!! Wish we had one in Hobbs, NM! read more

The worst experience ever at a Cheddar's happened tonight. I was served a bloody chicken fried steak. Which made me sick, literally sick. The manager offered to make me another one, no thank you. My stomach is still upset. The waitress then had an attitude, when I started talking to her in the same tone she was using with me and it "upset" her. The manager was not very nice either. He was NOT sincere when he said he was sorry. I will not be going back to the Cheddar's in Lubbock Texas anytime soon, if ever. In addition to my food, my niece was sick when we got home, from her food, she may have food poisoning. Be sure and check your food if you go to this Cheddar's. read more

Well 8:30 pm late dinner so I thought Cheddars would fit the bill, by myself so just thought I'd grab a seat at the bar. Bartend looked up but was working on closing out a tab which is fine but no acknowledgment. He delivered the tab returned to the bar, still no acknowledgment then proceeded to fulfill drinks from the waitstaff, still no acknowledgment so after 10 min I felt best to head down the road to the old standby the 50 Yard line, Great Meal!! read more

I have mixed feelings about posting/reviewing because I actually do like this restaurant. I'd say in the last 2 months we've been here at least 4 times and it hasn't been memorable or worth the 4.1 mile drive from house. The last time my food was served cold and then brought back to me cold....cold fries is never okay. We went and the kitchen is out of common ingredients to complete a meal on the menu....it's Monday (3/12/18) and the week here has already started bad for 'em. It's gonna be a very long while before I come back. We ended up leaving and went to The Plaza Mexican Restaurant and was able to order food we wanted without issue. read more

Me and my wife ate her and ordered the onion rings as an appetizer, it took a while for them to come out and when they did they had two long black hairs on them and it grossed us out, then a manager walked by and I told her about it and after that our waitress barley came to our table read more

Shame on you for charging your wait staff 3% of their credit card tips!!!!!!! This is their money and management you should be ashamed of yourselves! If I leave a tip for my server I expect all of that money to go to them and not back to the establishment! read more

Had issues with the food preparation 2-3 years ago and at the same time I had issues with the server not taking care of the food issues and being rude. Tonight we decided to give it a try again... bad choice. The food was prepared right this time however we never got the bbq sauce that was requested for my daughters chicken tenders when we ordered. We also were missing our salads which were supposed to be out before our meals. I had finished my steak and loaded baked potato and still had not received my salad,bbq sauce nor had anyone stopped by to check on us. After waiting for at least 10 mins and not being able to flag a waiter or waitress down I finally got a waitress to check on our missing items. We finally received our salads 30 minuets after we ordered them and my daughter finally got her bbq sauce for her now cold chicken. This restaurant needs some new training for their servers. Maybe we can try it out in 2-3 years again. read more

Cheddar' needs to figure out what has happened to their quality and customer service. Or maybe they don't care. On Mother's day they were out of the fudge cake, now on Fathers Day they were out of Onion Rings, Fudge cake. I ordered the Potatoes Skins for my meal and when I finally got them, my husband had finished his meal. And they tasted bad. The floors were littered and not sure why. This is not the standard Cheddars had when they first began in Lubbock. The quality of food the last three times we have been there is nothing like it used to be. This is not fair to your servers, but they are the ones having to tell your customers you don't have the food that is on the menu, which the management should know how to prepare for the increase in customers on special days. What a shame. We really like the food until the last three or four times we ate there. read more

My name is David and I graduated from Tahoka HS back in 2007. I have served in the United States Navy since and I am currently active duty. I always make it a point to go out to dinner with my grandparents at favorite restaurant, 'Cheddars'. Today was a very interesting experience. I had asked the waiter for the check and upon bringing it to me, I asked him if they offered military discount. He replied back no and I said that was fine. He then proceeded to tell me that he wished Cheddars did because he himself served four years in the navy. Being that I'm active duty I was curious to know what job(rate) he had in the navy, he told told me he was a private and then walked away. I was immediately confused and so was my grandfather(a 20 year veteran), because a private is a rank not a rate and it's also not a rank associated with the navy. So when he came back to the table he told me he was a cook on the ship. I asked him what ship... he immediately told me he was sorry and that he was lying the whole time because he felt if he could associate himself with the military, that we might tip him better. I have never, in the 8 years that I've served in the military been in situation like this. To have someone lie about being or have served in the armed forces while there are men and woman across the world literally lying their bodies down for this great country, I was ashamed to have gone to this restaurant today... embarrassed even... I will never go back to this restaurant again. read more

Second time to this store. Employees are operating in a rush and lack of customer service orientation. Food was good, service was fair until time to tab out ~ too much in a hurry and not communicating with the customer when they made a tab closeout of someone else's tab on my card. Before saying anything, the card was rerun causing additional charges on my account which will take days to clear...just a communication disappointment! read more

Ate lunch here today. First time visit and probably last as well. Service was average at best. Ordered coffee and was told they would have to brew it..... can't believe it wasn't already ready for lunch. Started out with queso and chips. The spicy beef in the queso was some of the best I have ever eaten. However the chips that came out with it were just that chips, or should I say small pieces of chips. I had to ask the server for some actual chips in order to enjoy the good queso. I order the Trio Treats Sampler. It was supposed to have loaded potato skins, cheese bites and chicken strips on it. After a short wait I was informed that they were out of cheese bites and asked it they could substitute something else. Just asked for more strips and skins. Finally came out. It looked really good but like they say looks are deceiving. The potato skins were actually burnt. Crispy is nice but crispy and crunchy is over the top. The strips were way to heavy in regard to the breading. The chicken itself was tasty but way way too much batter used for the breading. I rarely ever leave food anywhere but I left with more than half of this meal still on my plate. My server never once asked if I liked my meal or had any concerns. First time vist and not seeing a return visit anytime in the near future. read more

Really slow bar service. Fair chicken fried steak. Canned green beans - definitely not scratch. Somewhat disappointed.

I can't ever decide how I feel about this place, sometimes the food is great and other times not so much, same with the service. There's only a couple things on the menu I always feel safe getting, can't go wrong with the buffalo chicken wrap, chicken caesar pasta salad or the monte cristo. And you can't go here without getting a pain killer, only my favorite alcoholic drink ever.. Any stars that they have, the painkiller is totally deserving of them. read more

Went in for a late lunch (4:00) and no servers !! People sitting in there waiting to place their order but no-one to take order. Turned and walked out !! Who doesn't keep servers around even during slow hours?? read more

The food here is great but will no longer be coming here. The portions use to be generous but apparently in an effort to save money they have cut the portions by more than half. Very disappointed. read more

The service was really good, nice atmosphere, clean restaurant. The food is just meh. The prices are mid range, drinks almost $3. We have been a few times and thought the same thing after each meal. The food seems like it comes in prepared and they warm it up, for the most part. We have tried the quesadilla, fish tacos, chicken pot pie, tortilla soup, alfredo and a burger. Not a bad place, just nothing really delicious or special. read more

First off, I love Cheddars, they are one of my favorite chains. But was rather disappointed tonight! First I was seated and left at a dirty table. After 10 minutes went by my waiter finally showed up. Pointed out the dirty table and gave my drink order....... Well another 10 minutes went by before he showed up with my tea, but no rag. Had to ask another waiter was my server new, to that he just rolled his eyes and shook his head. Finally ordered my onion rings, which are always fabulous, and they were right on par this time! Wanting to go out of the box on my dinner this time I went with the "baked spasagna" which looked like a lump of spaghetti stuck together with a red sauce dumped over half of it, and most on the plate. Well it was OK at best, till I got half way through and found a hunk of plastic sheeting in it??? The super nice manager Mike comped that part of the meal for me, which made things better. In the end I will still at Cheddars again and again! read more

Food (hamburger, steak, chicken-fried steak) was excellent and prices were very reasonable. We were there on a Sat. night and it was very busy but the service was still very good. Absolutely no complaints. Will go back again soon. read more

Terrible place. Employees don't care about their job or customer service. They are always messing around and talking to each other instead of doing their job. It took us an hour and a half to get our food and on top of that our food was cold and they got the order wrong. This has happened multiple times and I'm tired of it. I will never go there again. read more

Cody is the bestest bartender and server .He knows his business. Great friendly and fast service.
