Chicken tenders were delicious but the dipping gravy was cold as was the baked potato. The green beans were SWEET (yuk) and barely warm. The service was slow and she forgot several aspects of our order. We will not return anytime soon. read more

We stopped in for a late night dinner last night, and I can say we probably had one of the worst experiences we've ever had with Cheddars. They'd hired an off duty officer to work security for them and he was completely out of line. The wait was long, almost an hour, and when a couple with a baby told the server they were leaving he chased them out. Called them disrespectful for referring to the hostess casually. Then commented that they smelled like weed. He then proceeded to tell every server that passed by the story, as if he was proud of it somehow. It made my party very uncomfortable. If we hadn't been seated so soon after the incident we would have left. read more

i got a medium well steak & steak was rare , no A1 sauce , Dijon chicken was over cooked & dry , food cold , no condiments.

I frequent Cheddar's quite a bit, particularly this one and the service has usually been proven to be exceptional. I came here to join my mom and my children for dinner and upon being greeted at the front by one of the hostesses, I was then directed by another hostess. I expressed to her, while pointing in the direction of where they were seated. She tried to seat me at two different tables with totally different people when I told her that I was meeting my MOTHER and my CHILDREN. When I was sat, I didn't receive any silverware. She had sat other customers in the section we were in and she had literally no customer service skills and have the demeanor of not wanting to help anyone. There were two other people that walked out during our dining here. Our waitress, Alicia, was patient with us as my mother received a spoon for her pot pie that had hair and fuzz on it and my 14oz Ribeye steak was undercooked(I asked for medium) and was about 90% fat. My daughter's kids cheeseburger was dry and the bread looked like it had been sitting. She didn't eat it all. The manager came to our table and tried to express to me that ribeye are mostly fat, but I've had ribeye before and never saw one that was as fatty and undercooked as this one. When I have my own, personal knowledge about steak and such, he agreed. He was very polite, and they replaced the entire meal for me, which I wasn't expecting. From looking at the reviews on here, at 2 1/2 stars, I feel appropriate that this rating is at 2 stars. Some of the staff need customer service training or needs to be where there is no customer interaction. There are great staff here as well, but it's overshadowed by the lackadaisical mindset of more of the other staff. read more

I am at a loss for words on how this restaurant is run. I came in to place a to go order. I'm told to go to an area where you place those orders, not the bar. The kitchen sounded like a club. Music playing and employees singing, shouting and laughing. It took me several minutes to get anyone's attention. Let me add, the music selection was not appropriate for a restaurant. Once I placed my order, I was told it would be 30 minutes. While I waited for my order, you could still hear all sorts of chaos and noise in the kitchen. I do not know how this restaurant will survive under that management. read more

I am not usually a fan of chain restaurants, and have lived a few miles from Cheddar's my whole life. We actually were going to go to Texas Roadhouse, but we know it is always hustle bustle and we decided we wanted something more quiet and low key. So, we wheeled into Cheddar's not expecting much, but we would give a it a try. I have eaten here before, but don't remember it being good. We were very surprised. It was quiet and comfortable and not crowded. We went about 5:30 on a Tuesday. We ordered The Spinach Dip appetizer and it came with chips and salsa. It was pretty good, especially for the price. Then we split the plate of Grilled Shrimp / Rib combo. It came with 2 sides and we chose baked potato / Caesar Salad. I am very picky about my salad. And the one at Texas Roadhouse is my favorite, so I was expecting it to be not as good. It was delicious. It came in a chilled bowl with nice size shavings of Parm and fresh croutons. AND it was large. Everything on the plate was delicious and we actually ended up bringing the leftovers home. I would never typically order ribs at this kind of restaurant, but my favorites are at Angelo's in Ft. Worth and we hadn't been in so long. They were falling off the bone and were some of the best I have ever had. The food was even still good the next day. Our waitress was great and my peach iced tea was yummy. The complimentary croissants were also wonderful. Our waitress was great. I don't remember her name, but she didn't write anything down and still got all of the orders correct. We were surprisingly pleased. I will be going back for that salad and ribs! Sorry, I didn't take pics. read more

the food was cold when it arrived, long waits , the food was dry and flakey, slimed, cold, and dry. It was expensive too. Chipotle is way better read more

Great experience here at Cheddars. We came in and the lady told us 30 minute wait, exactly 30 minutes later we were seated. Our server Dillian was attentive and helpful. The food, oh man, so delicious. I'll be back! Excelente experiencia aquí en Cheddar's. Nos metemos y la tipa nos dijo una espera de 30 minutos, exactamente 30 minutos luego estábamos sentados. Nuestro mesero Dillian nos servía de volada. La comida, oh man, era súper riquísima. Hasta la próxima! read more

We went to the Mesquite Cheddar's today for the first time and was blown away with our server and the food. Our server was Winnie (as in Winnie the Pooh - her description) and she was absolutely the best - great personality and competent. She should be the poster girl for servers. She knew just the right times to check on us, didn't rush us, and was always smiling. The croissants with honey butter were a great start to some really good "down home" cooking. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Mesquite Cheddar's and will definitely be going back. read more

Horrible staff. I will admit, our waitress really tried to be accommodating, but we had to wait an hour to be seated. We were crammed into a small table even though we asked multiple times for a booth. and booths were empty but we were told they were not available. only to have a smaller part sat in booths around us. The food was ok, nothing to brag about. if you have other options i strongly suggest you go there and avoid this restaurant. read more

Another BAD experience at Cheddar's! This is a horrible wasted my money Cheddar's. Drinks took FOREVER to get to us from the bar. If it's packed then they should hire the right amount of help to get things moving efficiently! Don't order drinks if they're busy. Our food.....WELL I order the lemon grilled chicken and it was so nasty and dry I needed sauce to drown it, and that didn't even work. Came with 2 grilled chicken I ate 2 BITES and I was done. Gross! Waitress took my plate and noticed I didn't eat it and saw me tell my friends it was nasty. Did she offer or ASK what was wrong. NOPE. everyone at my table could see it was DRY, and they served it. Disgusting!! WOULD never come back to this location. They don't care about their customers why waste your money and time. BS! read more

Service was great; food was decent; and family enjoyed dining at this restaurant. We applaud our waitress; she very kind, patient, and understanding, especially when ordering food for children. read more

Jocelyn & Ahnya (in to-go's) we're so sweet. They brought me out my food to curbside parking and had the most polite mannerisms. My ranch was missing from the bag and they did not hesitate to grab me some. They also asked me to review in the receipt to "give feedback on the service to help the business grow" & I have honestly never been asked that before. I'm not leaving this review because it was suggested for me, I am leaving this review because it is rare to get the kind of service, respect, and kindness like that at surrounding restaurants. I'd say to have more people like these ladies to help the business grow. Thank you!! read more

Love it every time! Grilled white fish, salmon, broccoli casserole, chicken pot pie, all of it read more

We waited over 30 minutes to be seated, it's ok we went on a Friday night. I understood. Out food came out wonderful, took a little while and the waiter did not really check on us, but it's okay it's a Friday night and I understood they are busy. I ordered the Moscato wine to go with my entree, after I finished my first glass I noticed the bottom of glass wine was stained with red wine. A bit disguised I notified the waiter. I decided to give them another try and ordered another glass of wine. I inspected the second glass before drinking it and it was again stained at the bottom with red wine. I do not understand how they are washing their dishes. This is disguising. The dishes may look clean but they are not. Will never come back to this location again. Kind service but disgusted. read more

This Cheddar's experience was less than mediocre. This is NOT the place for large parties. We were a family of 13 and very much expected that the wait would be long. Waiting was not the issue, it was the lack of critical thinking in aiding the customer experience. Staff by passed grouped empty tables to seat us in area that did not accommodate our group. Three of us was placed in an area different of from the rest of our family. I ended up cleaning a table across from my family and moved us (the three) to that booth. To add insult to injury our food came out 35 minutes later and my order was wrong. We arrived at 2:35pm and received our food at 5:15pm; I did speak to a manager of whom was very nonchalant and unconcerned. I am only writing this review because I am tired of the poor customer experience that seems to be the norm at Cheddar's. This was once a family favorite but now............... read more

Found a hair in my food. Deeply embedded. It was gross. They didn't even apologize and nothing taken off from the bill either. Not comIng here again. read more

My coffee was not fresh at all, tasted old. I ordered another cup, tasted the same not fresh. Wife's Ice tea was way too sweet. I ordered white fish, they forgot my tarter sauce. My wife ordered chicken tenders and shrimp, with two sides, forgot to bring her ceaser salad. They corrected the issue. However we have been three other times, was much better. Last night not so good, disappointed. Mesquite location. I gave it two stars, food quality not consistent.​ read more

The standard of service and quality of food here has definitely dropped tremendously since the last time I was here. We had a party of 8 among what appears to be a very minimal wait time night, and our service was extra slow. No urgency among anyone that passes by. Drinks and condiments didn't come out until appetizers has arrived. Food: quality has definitely decreased. Our table ordered a variety of items from the menu and it seems everything was poorly put together - I understand it's a chain restaurant but dame make the food not look like old, dry, and sad cafeteria leftovers. Steaks looked like it was boiled and barely "grilled", two of the pasta dishes were all dried and heavily salted, and ribs were a disgraced. They felt microwaved and someone just squirted bbq sauce on top. Highlights: the butter croissants and when we left knowing well we won't be back. Overall, I wouldn't take my family here again. read more

Love love the chicken Alfredo pasta The wait time may be a little long depending on what day and time you're trying to go. You also have to go inside to get your # in the waiting line there's not an online process for that, so that's the downside, but other than that food is good and ready on time. read more

Best chicken tenders and the broccoli cheese casserole is to die for.

ROACH INFESTED!!! Ordered to go. Was waiting on one of my orders to get done. Another customer walked up to pick up her order. When they brought her trays out to be bagged up, there was a roach crawling out of the side of the to go tray. Even the girl at the to go window felt it crawl on her hand and damn near dropped the food. We both walked out... looked as if the worked wanted to as well. Sad. They need a serious clean up and out!! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Uncooked green beans. Not happy. - American Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

Good food, except the macaroni and cheese. The cheese is more often than not runny and doesn't stick to the noodles. Also the front of house manager needs to be replaced as they run an extremely loose ship. Soggy silverware rolls, dirty carpets, and the waitstaff are constantly disturbing the hostess, jockeying for certain seating. This means they're taking time away from their guests to do this. And the hostess (at least on 3/31) had an expression that says the last place she wanted to be today was working the hostess stand. And when her dour face is the first thing you see coming in the door, it puts your entire experience off to a bad start. Then to see her chatting with waitstaff over table assignments and gossip as tables sit empty with more than enough guests in line to fill them shows little commitment to clearing the lobby and seating waiting guests. read more

We arrived around 3pm on a Sunday and had a 30 min wait ( the place was packed). Once seated it took about 10 more minutes before we saw our waiter, after ordering a spiked limeade and sweet teas it took 15 minutes for him to return with the drinks- once we ordered it took 15 minutes to come back with appetizer ( cheese bites are very good!) and by them we all had been out of drink for a while. Refills and another 20 minutes and we got our meals. By that time we were also 7 deep in empty glassware and and empty plate which was partly bussed then. The food was tasty and everyone was pleased but no table touches, long periods of not being checked are why I gave it only a 3. If you are pressed at all for time this is not the right place to go read more

I typically enjoy eating at Cheddars. I had an excellent experience at the location in FRISCO, and the one in College Station. I came to this location today because it was close to my mother's house. The fools is great as usual but the service is substandard. Our waiter was inattentive and my children's plates came about 45 minutes after my wife and I received our plate. I don't know if I will be returning to this location. I was told by the waiter that the manager is coming by to discuss the error. That has yet to be materialized. read more

The worst cheddars we have ever been to.... and let me add we have been to a lot of them. As truckers we look foward to things besides fast food. But in this case mcdonalds (which we don't even eat) would have been a better choice. First off we received nothing to eat with seriously no/ forks or spoons no croissants, no salad dressing regular salmon when asked for bourbon glazed broccoli casserole had no flavor oh and best part a 5oz child cup for our drinks full of ice that we paid almost 4$ for... disappointed a bit much. customer service on the phone was very rude also read more

Came for dinner with friends I recommended this place. The wait was not to bad. The restaurant was hectic and no mod to be found. Waited for our table in the bar area and was told margarita machine was not working. So margaritas could not be ordered... I didnt know you needed a machine for rock margaritas? ? Service here was horrific...server dont know her name rushed us into a drink order and dinner and app. We waited ten minutes for a glass of water. Another 20 for drinks. Throughout dinner all of our waters were empty and when almost finished the server finally comes back and drops the check off. I didnt order for the check. No desserts were offered??? No upsells to help her tip? Nothing to help the restaurant. When I asked for more water she said oh I was gonna bring it to go. Meanwhile our acholic drinks are full.. I replied I need to finish our drinks first she rolled her eyes and walked away... Wish I could give this place a zero star award... What happened to Cheddars??? read more

The food is good but the curbside pickup service is terrible. This is the second time in 2 weeks that I've waited at least 30 minutes in their curbside pickup lane past the time they said the food would be ready. It will be my last time. read more

The waiter Mark M. in the bar area was amazing! He came out to the "waiting" area and spotted my husband and I waiting to be sat, asked us if we minded having a high top table in the bar side, which we didn't, he also explained to us that it was louder in that area than the rest of the restaurant. Which we also didn't mind. He was very thorough and checked on us often but not being over baring about it. When I asked for another drink and an extra shot in the drink he spoke with the bartender and immediately returned to the table to explain how she couldn't put an extra shot in the drink but could on the side so it could be tracked and charged/paid for. He was an excellent waiter and when we return I will be requesting if he is working!! Also, the food is always exceptional! We love Cheddars read more

This little fancy looking spot is really beautiful in both the outside and the inside which is what caught my attention and made me want to try this place. It was ok. Burger was plain. My husband had the munchies and loved this place. We will be going back to try it out. Sober this time lol definitely a must try tho. Very beautiful establishment read more

I love Cheedars. Inexpensive great food and drinks. As an appetizer I normally get the cheese bites or the queso with meat and salsa. Those are my recommended. The honey bun croissants are also good as a starter or dessert. My go to plate is the chicken tender platter with broccoli and cheese casserole. This time I opted for the Mac and cheese, which was superb and loaded mashed potatoes. Just can't go wrong. The buffalo chicken wraps were really good too. For drinks I get a margarita swirled or my favorite, Passion punch. Just please go here, you can't go wrong. I would like to say that Sunday's after church this place is IMPOSSIBLE to get into and even on a "slow" night you might have some trouble getting in but that never stops me lol read more

If I could give no stars I would but the service was absolutely terrible. I went here on my birthday we were a party of 16 and ended up walking out after already being seated and have ordered our drinks, they gave us a small table so I requested an additional and was told they weren't able so I asked if I could speak to a manager, manager comes out and was a complete dick and to say the least he said he didn't care for our service. We would come here every year but after this they have lost our business.. fuck this place and the fucking manager! His name was Luis or Sammy I couldn't understand it cause he would mumble it.. plus the place was a complete fucking mess and there was a roach in my water... read more

Cheddar's is Cheddar's. It's a chain restaurant that is pretty much everywhere. I wasn't planning on reviewing this place until I visited with one of my girlfriends this past week. I noticed that it is a VERY inexpensive, good quality restaurant. Drinks: The drinks here are so cheap! I almost always order their grande Maui Margarita which is a little less than $5. I also love their grande Texas Margarita which is $3.74 and it is HUGE! The Passion Punch is also a favorite of mine and it's about $4!! You definitely get more bang for your buck at this restaurant which is why my girlfriend's and I always come here when we want to just casually drink. They have the best drink menu with the best prices. Food: The food is also great because this is a "scratch kitchen" meaning everything is handmade from scratch. I don't have a certain dish that I love here because I've definitely had some hits and misses as far as the food goes. I've ordered their Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo in the past but it's alway super dry. I've also had the Sweet Heat Chicken and Shrimp which was really good. And lastly I've had their hamburger which is definitely a basic burger. My boyfriend swears by their Monte Cristo though! That's what he always orders so I would definitely recommend it. It's very savory with a sweet kick. Ambiance: The restaurant itself is very beautiful. The interior looks as though the food and drinks would be a lot more expensive than it actually is. The lights are usually dim which makes it very mellow, chill and slightly romantic if you're on a date. I recommend you give Cheddar's a try!! read more

Good food, good service. This was my first time at a Cheddar's restaurant and I went in with low expectations as I always do whenever going to a chain restaurant. We entered at about 7:30pm in the middle of dinner rush and we're seated promptly. Our waitress, Nicole, greeted us and took our drinks and appetizers orders within a few minutes. She returned promptly with our drinks and within 5-10 minutes we received our chips and dip. The queso and the spinach dip were both good and the chips were warm and crispy. With our orders taken, we enjoyed our appetizers but the entrees did take a little while longer to get to our table. My ribeye steak was slightly overdone (ordered medium-rare, steak was medium-well); my girlfriend's sirloin steak was cooked and seasoned well. My girlfriend's mother's chicken fried chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside-- cooked to perfection. All our sides were fantastic and cooked and seasoned well. Nicole checked on us regularly and refilled our drinks quickly; there wasn't ever a time where we had to flag her down for something and I really appreciated that. Her offer for horseradish/sour cream for my steak was appreciated as well. She was very nice and friendly. Overall, I was very pleased and had a fantastic dining experience. I wish we had Cheddar's in Hawaii! read more

I have been to Cheddar's numerous times and overall I would have to say it is a really good restaurant for the price. However this past time I went with my family, we had an issue with our orders. 2 of my party order the Chicken Tender Parmesan and the waiter brought them 2 Chicken Tender Platters. On top of that 1 of my party ordered Salmon and Shrimp, and he received Steak and Shrimp. Moral of the story it was just one of the few bad times I've had at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. read more
