Swung in for a quick pick up order. Rib & Chicken combo w/ 2 side was very reasonably priced (under $25) - all food was hot & fresh for a Togo order. Well worth the price paid. And of course I had to order the Honey Butter Croissants - a Cheddar's staple. Delicious! read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by a few couples so we made the long drive for date night. This is a chain restaurant with a hometown feel to it. The waiting time for a booth was short and we were greeted quickly upon entering. It is a quieter restaurant with comfortable seating. I checked Yelp before ordering for favor filled options in the reviews. We both ordered rib combos with the broccoli and cheese casserole, and a side salad. The ribs were meaty and seasoned well. Very tender and almost fell off of the bone. The broccoli cheese casserole was amazing! It was full of flavor and cheese l, perfection. The side salad was extremely fresh, tasty, and it was large. The salad was so fresh, we ate it before our yummy ribs and ended up too full to finish the entree. We heard a lot about the honey butter crossiants but we were not impressed and after a few bites we decided not to waste calories on them. Maybe they are usually better but not on that night. The restaurant decor is interesting, kind of a cross between Longhorn Steakhouse and Texas Roadhouse, nothing stood out but it was clean and tidy. I would make the drive again for the great food. I would have given it 5 stars but the service was just okay, the decor was blah, and the presentation of the food was a little better than fast food. read more

Hardly my first or even 10th visit here over the years, I decided a review was due. We were seated in the bar area. I prefer the bright environs of the main dining room but today was ok in the bar. One favorite is the complimentary iced croissants. Yum! I ordered unsweet tea and it was nicely brewed! I ordered the monte cristo, always my favorite. I asked my friends to make sure I don't order it again. It is nicely deep fried but it is too much sandwich. I subbed the fries for soup. The potato soup was thick like glue with potatoes, bacon and cheese. I only ate a few bites. Our food came out quickly with some wrong items our server corrected. Our server was attentive and pleasant. Cheddars is always a pleasant dining experience with some good meal deals and variety of food choices. I took away a star because my food selections were disappointing, but next time I will make different choices. read more

Have been back a few times this past year and always have a good experience. We mostly order the same items and always enjoy them! The triple treat sampler with the cheese dip, spinach dip tortilla chips and chicken tenders. All so good as well as the buffalo chicken wrap. And the veggie plate! all yummy! It was early Sunday evening, and we still had good service even though it was packed! Mixture of tables and booths as well as a small bar area with some televisions read more

We came to Cheddar's for dinner. Their menu has a wide variety from appetizers (spinach dip, onion rings, chicken tenders), salads, wraps, sandwiches, burgers, steaks and seafood from grilled salmon to shrimp. I got the vegetable plate with green beans, a baked potato, red beans and rice and a broccoli casserole. Red beans and rice were OK. Beans were not spicy rice tasted like Minute rice. Typical green beans southern style. Hubs got the cheeseburger was good others had the buffalo wraps. Salads are fresh. Service was good. Ambience is very casual and servers were friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. read more

First time going to this establishment and the food was amazing. We had a issue with our order not being delivered to their system (we ate in). We watched 3 tables get there food consume it and leave and we still had not received ours. The Manager Markus came around and asked how we were and we stated "disappointed " because we had been waiting for over an hour and still had not received any food. He went to check on it and 20 more minutes went by before we finally received our food I asked for it to be boxed up. The Manager came out and apologized for the wait and stated that they had an issue with their system uploading the order, I was upset but Mr Markus corrected everything and made it RIGHT. I will be going back because getting back home and eating dinner the food was great and the croissants was off the chain soft and buttery. Markus and Cheddar thank you and we will be coming back. We had the meatloaf,broccoli casserole and fried white fish , shrimp and loaded baked potatoes as I stated the food was delicious and the problem was corrected, things do happen unexpectedly read more

The restaurant itself has decent decorations, but small seating at the booths and tables. Our waitress was very attentive and refilled my drinks as it became almost empty. The cooks however must of been off their game since the food was cooked wrong. My girlfriend's country fried steak had brown gravy instead of white gravy and then my steak was supposed to be medium rare , but this is raw. Good thing I cut my steak and look at it before eating it. They however took 5 minutes to correct my girlfriend's order and took 3 minutes to correct my order. read more

We sat at the bar instead of a table. My boyfriend and I got 2 Texas frozen swirl margaritas and they were delicious. Any flavor was great although I had strawberry and peach. My boyfriend loved his bacon cheese burger. I got the country fried steak. My bartender (who was fabulous on her Monday night shift) put my entire order in correctly I saw her but the kitchen gave me chicken instead of steak and my backed potato was cold read more

The restaurant was mediocre. I definitely recommend getting there early on the weekends because it gets packed! You can't make reservations but you can call ahead. The food was a hit or miss. The salmon was good, but dry. The fried fish didn't have any seasoning and came out undercooked. The green beans had a weird sweet taste. The cookie dessert had the consistency of cake and didn't have a lot of flavor. The carrot cake was great and moist. The only item that was delicious were the croissants. Avoid the alcoholic drinks. I don't think they had any alcohol in them! The service was horrible. The waitress barely checked on us. When we had to return our food, she didn't expedite the order so it took forever to get our food. The ambiance was family style. The restaurant was packed but it's very spacious. read more

It was our first time dining at Cheddar's for a family dinner last night. The decor was homey and cozy. The onion rings were cooked to a golden brown, and the trio of appetizers was great--especially the spinach dip and chicken tenders. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger without pickles, but my request was disregarded. Additionally, the burger had an unexpectedly sweet taste, which I did not enjoy. The croissant was undercooked as well. Our server seemed too busy to be attentive; she didn't clear our table on time, forgot our drinks, and rarely checked on us. Overall, while the food was okay, the service was subpar. read more

So I love Cheddars ... it was my first time going to one in VA but I've been to them in other states. to me it is an upscale red lobster, Olive Garden type chain. The food is pretty consistent ... it's always a little chaotic but never truly an issue. The place is clean and packed the food took a little longer to serve but this seems pretty typical across the chain. Place looks nice, the table cleaners do a great job. It was full of young folk I would say of all the workers I saw the oldest may have been 30. They say the older people work in the morning. All in all the food was good the cheese bites were the soup was the lowest point. I got the pecan chicken salad - the dressing was delicious. The salad was mostly romaine they should upgrade the lettuce and the chicken was just ok. The candied pecans were delicious but there was no frills to the salad. The soup did not seem to be made out of potatoes more like cornstarch with bacon and cheese ... could only eat two bites. The cheese bites were popping. I didn't have any drinks and I took the apple pie home - my mom said the ice cream for the apple pie was her favorite and the cheese. She also had the fried shrimp and fried fish ... she said it had a lot of batter but was very tasty. She also said the coleslaw was delicious but the broccoli casserole was terrible. Finally the glazed croissant is always a hit! I would definitely go back in if I were in the neighborhood but would probably not drive out of my way I love about 35 min from there if the tunnel is not an issue read more

Went for a business lunch and we got there early which was good because they filled up quickly I had heard good things about the food here so I was glad to give it a try. Everything that we ordered was great. Our surfer was wonderful. It did get very loud just because it's open air and again. All of the booths were filled and there was a weight out the door by the time we were done Can't wait to go back and try like three more things off the menu read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - A Delightful Experience! I needed a place for dinner close to my hotel and was recommended Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. Normally, I avoid chain restaurants and didn't realize this was one, but I'm glad I gave it a try! The restaurant was clean and tastefully decorated, which set a nice tone. The service was great--friendly and quick. To my surprise, when I sat down, they brought me complimentary croissants covered in butter and sugar. They were absolutely delicious! My server suggested the spinach dip as an appetizer, and it didn't disappoint. The chips were fresh and the dip was hot and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the Key West Chicken and Shrimp, served with rice. I opted for a Caesar Salad as my additional side. While the presentation could have been better--perhaps a smaller plate--the taste was excellent, and everything was cooked perfectly. I'd definitely recommend Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and would happily return. A pleasant surprise from a chain restaurant! read more

I'm in town visiting Hampton for the holiday and decided to step into Cheddars. The last time I had been in one of these was back in Charlotte, North Carolina. There is ample parking in the parking lot as it is in the mall area. When we arrived, we were told there was a 20 minute wait so we added our name to the list and wait for the text message. The establishment is clean and noise level is decent. We seated roughly about 10 minutes later and went to our table. The cool thing about this place is that you can put your own order into the tablets on the table. The only drawback is that you cannot order any alcoholic beverages via the tablet. There is a button for the server right on the tablet so we push that button and waited. Our server arrived very quickly and we were able to place our order for $4 happy hour. We ordered the Tito and cranberry as well as ordered a glass of rosé. For our meal, we ordered the rib and chicken tenders with broccoli and cheese casserole as well as ordering the herb, roasted chicken with broccoli and carrots. I also ordered the side salad. The food was okay. The salad was great. The drinks were good. The ribs could have been cooked longer and the chicken could have been roasted longer. The chicken also lacked any seasoning. We both had to add sauces on the side to add flavor. We ended up taking a lot home. We placed the ribs and chicken in the air fryer which then made it perfect. Overall, very nice spot. I will come back again. read more

My party of three was served by Erica, who was amazing even though she was also tending bar. She kept our drinks at the table full and consistently checked on us throughout the meal. He had to send the ribs back, and we received a piping hot new order. My steak was done precisely as I asked (medium) the croissants were bamazing as always. They only reason I gave a four was because we were seated right in front of the kitchen. read more

This was one of the worst experiences. We had a party of nine show up, and we're told that we couldn't sit together. it was very awkward as we were there for a meeting. Once we were sat, no one came to our table for about fifteen minutes. What was very interesting is that we were people of color. so three pound us who recent ten minutes after we arrived were greeted served and their order taken. ten minutes later, we were still not served. I went and spoke to the manager about the situation, he had the worst attitude. after a very short discussion, we decided to leave as the negativity that we experienced from the time.We came in, sat down was overwhelming. This is my first time to cheddars, and I will not be back. read more

Greeted and seated quickly. Our waiter was very attentive. The croissants with sweet butter served to everyone are divine! We shared the Wisconsin Cheese bites, they're are crispy and tasty! I ordered the vegetable plate- a cup of soup or a salad and 4 sides. Broccoli cheese casserole, southern green beans, homemade coleslaw, and beans and rice were my sides. Each was delicious. The bacon on the soup was too tough and had a taste that turned me off. The person I was dining with had chicken tenders and ribs. Tenders were good, ribs were okay. Restaurant was clean, fairly empty, which is expected at 7:30 on a Monday night. We were seated in a booth, with parties on either side of us. The people behind each of us kept banging against the seats. I'd ask for a table next time. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Honey butter croissants (divine) - Comfort Food Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

Cheddar's is always a great option when craving amazing food and drinks. While we were in the area Saturday night around 7:30pm, we decided to stop in and thankfully, we were able to be seated in the bar area right away. The bar area wasn't too noisy or crowded at all, which I liked. After looking over the menu, we immediately ordered the Texas Margaritas since they were such a good price. For $6, we assumed that the margaritas were going to be in small cups but to our surprise, they were in pretty large margarita glasses and they tasted very good! For my entree, I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrappers and I chose the Cheddar Bacon Fries as my side! The wraps were served with homemade ranch dressing and were AMAZING! They weren't spicy but had a lot of flavor and the pickles inside of the wrap made it taste even better. The loaded fries were also very good, especially when dipped in the ranch! The icing on the cake was the complimentary Honey Butter Croissants which just melt in your mouth! The warmth of the croissant with the sweetness of the honey butter is like a parade of happiness in your mouth! Just divine. I've never had a bad experience at Cheddar's and the waiters have always been extremely helpful every time I've went. Unfortunately, I did go into the bathroom before we left and I'm not sure if it was an understaffing issue or not but there were used paper towels overflowing from the garbage area (which is in between the sinks) and all over the floor. The sink was leaking water as well which was very dangerous but I'm hoping they resolve that issue ASAP. Outside of that, we had a great overall experience and will definitely be returning. read more

Had to call back at 7:15pm had not received order. 7:20 pm received order person who brought my order did not say sorry for the delay or apologies for it being so late. Will not recommend this restaurant. read more

Consistent quality and good prices. Every visit so far has had slow inattentive service, but I can't complain about the food and the price. Great allergy-friendly options with a casual setting. I'd give it 3.5 stars, but there's no option so I'll be generous and round up. read more

The service was horrible. The waiter for some reason avoided our table and paid more attention to other tables. The broccoli cheese casserole was smaller covered in crumbles with 2 small pieces of cheese covered broccoli up under it. The pain killer was so weak, I wondered why a 2 drink limit. No longer a hot spot for me. And back to the waiter, his whole butt was out. How sloppy. Im over this place for sure read more

Maybe it's good if you ever get your drinks or your food. And not sit there for 15 minutes and waitresses and waiters walk past you. It was packed but here's the thing don't seat people you can't serve. We were the 3rd table to get up and walk out without even having an order taken. read more

This place gets busy, but the food comes out fast. I ordered an appetizer of fried cheese and country fried chicken for the entree. When I asked the difference between single and double, I was told you get 2 chicken breasts. For only $2 more, I questioned the size of the breast. They were regular sized and the single portion would have been more than enough. The guy next to me ordered chicken strips and a slab of ribs. Those looked amazing and one thing became clear, you wouldn't leave here hungry. read more

UPDATE July 2024: I reaffirm what I said years ago, never had a bad meal here. Myself and two guests (old college roommates) stopped in on a busy Saturday. We were about to get a round table in a sunlight seating area which was perfect for conversation and catching up. Our wait staff member was excellent and never let our drink glasses get empty. The menus is still BRIDA with a range of offerings. Food quality and quantity was excellent, actually a great value. The only complaint was it took more than awhile for our food, with our wait staff person apologizing more than once. Aside from what may be a kitchen issue, the experience was very good, our meals carried us through the day and evening. All is well that ends well so go visit. BTW: How many restaurants have been in Hampton Roads that are this consistently good? That says a lot folks. read more

First trip, 3.5 overall. Floor was greasy, lobby kinda smelled. Small menu with Americana food: chicken, shrimp, burgers, wraps, fish, ribs, salads, sides, and a mix of non alcoholic drinks (lemonades, teas) and reasonably priced adult bevs. 2 Buffalo chicken wrap platters and my grilled chicken/shrimp plate. Food quality was 3-4/5 stars, along with above average portions for the price. The croissants were delectable (6/5 stars); hot, soft, flaky, melt in your mouth carbs, conveniently greased by honey butter for easier consumption. Our party of 3 received friendly but slow service. Restaurant was busy, evident by the parking lot on arrival. Liked the convenient pay at table kiosk. read more

One of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in years. I ordered the pecan salad, and they completely forgot the pecans. Our server was inattentive and unprofessional--she seemed more interested in staying in the kitchen than actually checking on her tables. I paid for a drink and never received a refill. We were also supposed to get croissants, but when we asked, she claimed they were out--yet the table seated after us was served theirs without issue. Overall, this was hands down the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The thing that made it worst was it was my birthday dinner. read more

First time here & we went twice in one weekend. Both times we got curbside. The first time the food was pretty good. We ordered the croissants (YUMMO!), coconut shrimp kids meal, pasta kids meal, and country fried steak. The gravy with the steak tasted like pork. I didn't like it. The steak was super thin and overcooked. The kids meals weren't great. They were cold, so the shrimp had to be recooked. The coconut was hard to chew, so I ended up throwing away the shrimp & just eating the sides. My son went ahead and ate his cold kids meal because he was starving. The strawberry lemonades were good & had chopped pieces of strawberries in them. The second day we ordered curbside again. They were very slow that night. We got chicken strip kids meals and chicken fried chicken meal this time. I didn't eat the gravy, but the chicken was pretty good. This time, the croissants had LIVE GNATS in the box with them. I was so annoyed and sick because I didn't open it until we got back to the hotel. I opened the lid and the gnats flew on about their merrily little way. That was trash, so that was a total waste of money. All in all, Cheddars is OK! Check your food before you leave if you do curbside & make sure it's what you expect. read more

I came here with the family after church. There was no wait and we were seated within 5 minutes The server brought menus and then fresh croissants. The croissants are amazing! I first ordered the chicken tenders, shrimp, rice and broccoli casserole. The rice was not good, and the server took it back. I replaced it with fries. The fries were hot and seasoned to perfection. The chicken tenders and shrimp were crunchy and really good. I had a birthday coupon for a free dessert and I ordered the cookie sundae. It came out hot and the ice cream was melted . I wish they would have let the cookie cool down just a tad bit. The cookie was great and a perfect size for sharing. I will be back for the same meal. read more
