I ordered the New Orleans Cajun pasta, which comes with shrimp sausage and chicken the amount of chicken compared to the shrimp and sausage is outrageous. As you can see from the photo you are actually paying for a chicken pasta. This is unacceptable and miss leading to the customer. This also includes me paying for additional sausage, shrimp and chicken, so where are the toppings? I have actually spoken with the store manager name Wayne he suggested to take off the additional toppings that I have asked for and that is it. I do not suggest ordering this dish we will notbe returning .Store #2217 Edgar read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Comfort Food Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Nice setting and superb waiter on the evening of Saturday, April 11, 2026. He was willing to give us 5 separate checks, and we didn't enter the establishment until at about 945 PM and we did ask before ordering anything which helped too. My steak was a bit tough. The flavorings on my green beans and cheese on broccoli was good. The cocktail was tropical which I like and I definitely didn't want to have more than one. I liked the number of options available, especially for a from scratch kitchen. There aren't too many places in the area open past 10' PM for dine in except for Applebees and a diner probably. So I might come here for that alone. read more

What a delightful evening last weekend at Cheddar's! Think of a cozy, no fuss family atmosphere..Our server Maureen was so attentive and helpful. We never had to look for her to top off our drinks or to bring us anything. All of the food was delicious. From the honey butter croissants to the onion ring appetizers to the entrees (ribs, steak bites, country fried steak), to the desserts (apple pie and ice cream and carrot cake). The onion rings were some of the best that I have had, not greasy, not overly seasoned, and nice and crispy, and so many for the whole table...and the carrot cake, apple pie and ice cream made a tasty end to a really good meal...Hefty portions and reasonable prices. What more can you ask for? - The online option to join the wait-list did not give an arrival option. When I reserved our table when we were about 20 minutes from the location (we were traveling from Baltimore) our table was ready earlier than expected. I called to alert the staff that we were delayed and was told to just check in when we arrived. Unfortunately we still had to wait about 1/2 hour for our table when we got there. - Although delicious, the steak bites were over seasoned and quite salty. Thank goodness the mashed potatoes were able to balance it out somewhat. All in all, I would definitely come again to try out some other menu items. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Honey butter croissants, Painkiller cocktail, country fried steak, steak bites, baby back ribs, onion rings, carrot cake, apple pie - Comfort Food Near Me - Newark, Delaware

I discovered Cheddars when my son was in the hospital for four weeks so we would go across the street to eat something after visiting hours were over. I loved their chicken pot pie, the ribs are an excellent deal! I ordered the chicken pot pie for my son multiple times when he was finally able to eat. Their prices are very good for Homie comfort food. Not to say that everything's going to be perfect... But I'll go back just to get the painkiller! That drink is off the charts! The waitresses were really friendly and very nice. Honestly, they were amazing! I would recommend them to work at a fine dining establishment. At least two of them they stood out for me and as a former of waitress and bartender, I will forgive bad food, but not bad service! read more

I usually try to remember to take pictures. When our server came out with hot croissants. The camera stayed in my purse. Oh, they were amazing! We both ordered the steak and ribs. They were delicious! We had such a great experience. Our server was prompt and friendly. The location was relaxing and comfortable. All in all, I can't wait to go back and eat those amazing croissants and try different food from the menu. read more

We stopped here for a quick bite on our way to somewhere else. The restaurant was a little busy, but there was no one at the bar. Eboni was our bartender, and she was friendly and started us out with a Watermelon Margarita and honey butter croissants. We were not familiar with Cheddar's, but she said they are known for them. We really enjoyed the croissants. We ordered the chips and queso, which did not seem to be scratch at all, and the Key West Shrimp. It would be hard to mess up shrimp and rice, and it was very tasty, as was the pineapple pico de gallo. However, the "off the cob" corn tasted like canned corn. I would say Cheddar's is more "scratch-esque" but the prices are so reasonable we are ok with that once in a while, and it's a solid 3. The drinks are especially delicious. read more

This was my first visit to the Newark Cheddar's scratch kitchen location, and it definitely lived up to expectations! I had previously dined at the Dover location over 8 years ago, and this one was just as welcoming. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel right at home. The drinks were fantastic, and we were off to a great start with their signature complimentary honey butter croissants--soft, buttery, and a perfect way to wake up the taste buds! The food was equally impressive: the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, the country fried chicken was packed with flavor, and the shrimp and fish platter was generously portioned and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were spot on--we even had leftovers to enjoy later that evening. It truly felt like the flavor party continued well into the night. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Got a to go order. First, they came out with someone else's order. When they finally gave me the right one and I go home with it, I discovered it had been greatly undercooked to what I ask for, and the meat was as tough as shoe leather. Won't be going back. read more

Cheddar's really had the potential and they still do. Service was great. Very friendly, attentive, accommodating. Food was both hit and miss. We were given fresh bread shaped like croissants with a white glaze that were good. We got the trio app that came with chicken tenders, spinach artichoke dip, and queso and salsa. Chicken were four generously sized pieces and tender..the chips, however were pretty... not good. It tasted like stale/old oil. The cheese curds were good, we dipped those in the queso and spinach artichoke. At least it's an issue with the chips and not the actual oil that they are currently using to fry. The bourbon porkchop wete pretty tender and tasty. I didn't like how my side of rice was saturated in the sauce. The rice also had a strong celery-like flavor to it which I as not expecting. The broccoli cheddar casserole was very good though. It reminds me of Cracker Barrels Hash brown casserole. The shrimp and ribs.. the ribs got sent back. They were advertised as "fall off the bone" but instead was very tough and jerky-like. The fried shrimp and side of fries were fine. They also offered to make a new rack of ribs, but we assumed it was going to probably be a similar issue so we declined as we didn't want to waste another set of ribs. Our waitress had removed this off our tab completely, even though we took the shrimp and two sides. While there are some positives, we most likely would not be returning at our next Delaware field trip. It is still worth a try! read more

I always visit when I go see my sister. The food is consistently good. The service is also commendable.

Food was amazing! Really enjoyed the chicken with honey mustard and mushrooms and rice. Would eat here again.

Went there for my birthday today with husband and 4 adult children. Booth seat was sticky as was the table. It was not busy. Our waitress took orders, bused tables, made mixed drinks at the bar. Took 20 minutes to get a soda refill, never got our ordered appetizer, never got birthday dessert. Food not as good as it was in the past. Never get the whole family out at one time anymore, today was supposed to be special. read more

Their salmon dishes are amazing. I also like their sides, especially the broccoli cheese casserole. The food is great, and the service is awesome. The casual vibe is nice, making everyone feel welcome. read more

Horrible customer service ! Made a reservation for a party on a Monday and had to cancel it by Saturday, the reservation wasn't for a whole month away. They would not return $1000.00 . Doesn't make sense to keep 1000.00 deposit when no food or anything was ordered and event was a month away. Horrible business practice. read more

Food was very satisfying. The manager and waiter took great care of us and the drinks were great. I had 2 just because and ordered food to go. read more

I'm officially done with Cheddars restaurant. Let's start with the service.....lazy waitress. Ordered their cranberry cocktail. The first one came out with no alcohol. We didn't get the cranberry juice and alcohol until our dinner was done. Only ask her 12 times. Next is the food.....where do I start? Ordered the Cheddar Bites.....not hot and not crispy. Their Monte Crisco used to be excellent at this location and the fries crispy. I think they used pancake batter on the sandwich and the fries were not crispy. A little cold and soggy. The salad with chicken was missing salad type ingredients. Who wants just lettuce and chicken? Lastly the place wasn't clean. This was the last good location that I knew of. The one in Greenville, South Carolina is 100 times worse. read more

We have been there several times and always found it very good, good service and normally very little wait time

Loved the chicken pot pie! Service was good and the price was right! We sat at the bar and caught up on the latest football news. read more

The service was great and our server was very attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and big , they have a dining area and a bar area. The food looks good but to me it's just okay. The pasta was dry and needed more sauce. The green beans said on the menu that it has pork but I didn't see it or taste it. read more

Today I went to cheddars. It was an amazing experience due to the amazing food I ate such as the trio sampler that comes with a wide variety of food choices. But the best part was my waitress whose name was Ronny. She was the best and had the best energy ever going from table to table putting a smile on everyone's face. I will be back soon and hoping to see Ronny again! read more

Horrible!!! After waiting 1 1/2hr half table wasn't served & server & Mgr had attitude. Food tucked. It was either under cooked or overcooked. Again its horrible ​ read more

I hate to give you a bad review, but our experience was horrible we will never go back on a Saturday again because Kim is off. We never got cresonts, my husband ordered the kids chicken Alfredo with extra chicken. He didn't get he ordered broccoli ​he ordered cheddar cheese Which was 1.95. For a kids Alfredo it was way to much pasta.I ordered the beef tips with the potatoes ,it tasted good but the 4 pieces of steak. I got 13.99 not again. I almost chocked on the meat it was so tough.. The manager took the kids tea off our biil. Was a very nice lady. We will be back Thursday. Still will be our weekly stop.The restaurant is too cold, but we can handle it. read more

This was my 2nd visit here and I am impressed with the food. I has Buffalo Shrimp Appetizer{s}, cole slaw and cheese/broccoli. All was very good, especially the Shrimp. Others at my table had ribs, meatloaf, onion rings, pot pie, and everyone was happy. I will be coming here more often from now on!!! read more

Food is great. Big portions. Great choices of beer. Staff was friendly Definitely coming back.

Carly was the greatest server me and my Aunt could have asked for! Super sweet and it felt like we were being served by a family friend. My steak came out wrong and with a blink of an eye it was solved. Give that girl a raise!! read more

Food was average nothing great. The wait service was lacking. The ambiance was ok. The fish tank was nice and clear.

One star is too generous. After waiting 90 minutes to get seated, we are finally seated and then told it would be at least 30 minutes before they could take our order. When we asked about the delay, the waitress said the kitchen would take up to another hour to get us our food. The hostess kept taking reservations without advising if the kitchen delay. Not the first bad experience with them. Avoid! read more

Great food! Might have been the time of day (4ish PM) but we had a weird vibe from the other customers. Food was amazing, 9.5/10. Would go again! read more

The food was great but their timing was off. There were three of us with one ordering a drink from the bar. The food was staggered out so we were not eating at the same time and it was halfway through the meal before the drink came from the bar. read more

I'm a Cheddars fan. I'm so glad that this Cheddars is close by in Newark. I've eating at Cheddars in York Pa, Virginia and Texas. My favorite sandwhich, without a doubt is the Monte Cristo. The Monte Critsto is a lunchtime or dinner meal My favorite dish is the Chicken Fried Chicken. I would rate Cheddars above Texas Roadhouse, Applebees and Chilis. If Cheddars served breakfast, I would rate it above Cracker Barrel. read more

I ate at Cheddar's yesterday. The food was good, but the server Elijah was slow and made us wait a long time for our food. He apologized. We paid cash and he kept out coins change, stating he had no coins for change. I found him to lack honesty. Keeping everyone's coins, he can make a fortune. I tipped him well. We split the bill and paid separately. Camden Cheddar's read more

New restaurant in Delaware. Normally I wait a while before I visit a new restaurant, especially in Delaware. Cheddars has been open a little over a week and they definitely have some things to work out. If you want to eat here any time soon, I strongly suggest adding your name to the waitlist which you can do so online. I went on a Tuesday evening and you would have thought it was the weekend. I was seated after a 45 minute wait. You can order bar drinks, appetizers and kids meals from the table kiosk but everything else you have to order from your server. My server was so busy, she didn't mention her name. The honey butter croissant was tasty. You will only get a croissant for the number of people in your party. If you want extra, you will have to pay for them. I ordered the Key West chicken and shrimp. The entree comes with two sides. The portion size was good, but the food was slightly on the cold side. I thought the food was okay. Nothing that I was blown away by. read more

First impressions on the decor and looks of the restaurant is very nice and aesthetically pleasing. The croissants at the beginning were amazing. I haven't been to Cheddars in 10 years so I was very impressed. I got the chicken pot pie and mashed potatoes for a side. My husband got a steak and sides. Chips and queso was ordered for our app. Which btw, if you get on their rewards ahead of time you can get that app for free. I enjoyed my food. It was extremely hot so if we weren't in a rush I probably could have sat there for a good 30 min and it still would have been piping hot. The waitress was great and very attentive. The cook or manager did come back and ask clarification on our order so I'm glad she did or it would have been made wrong. We went for lunch around 12:30 and had no troubles with waiting for service. read more
