Been to Cheddars before Yelp. I ordered the Veggie plate and salad. These people know, salad first, then the main course. So many places, everything arrives at the same time. Plate FULL of Veggies shows up. Great selection, I can stay on the diet, eat healthy and not feel like an outsider. You have to try the Black Beans! Flavor!!! read more

Ate here last night. As a new restaurant, it was hopping. Fortunately, we arrived a little before the main rush and were promptly seated, albeit in possibly the least desirable table in the restaurant. That the table hadn't been thoroughly cleaned made it even less appealing. Our waitress took forever to find us but was pleasant and polite once she did. She seemed like she might be having a frustrating evening, and this proved true when she forgot my wife's salad. This restaurant is loud. Not quite as loud as BJs in Norman but close. The menu is not vegetarian friendly. The one option I found was a salad paired with your choice of four side dishes (options included broccoli, carrots, beans, broccoli casserole, French fries, baked potato, coleslaw). On the good side, this option cost less than $6. My wife, not a vegetarian, fared much better. The menu has several meat, fish, and meat and fish entrées, as well as hamburgers and sandwiches. My wife chose the chicken pot pie, which she said was quite good. My veggies were okay. Longtime Norman residents might look at the menu and think "Charlestons!" (Especially because Cheddars has hot buttery croissants and a large selection of side dishes.) All-in-all I'd take Charlestons over Cheddars. The ambience and food are better at Charlestons, and it's a bit more possible to have a conversation without shouting. read more

We came here with about 6 people. Due to a HOSA conference the entire place was packed. I worried we would be stuck eternally waiting for our food but that wasn't the case. Our food came out fast and delicious. We did receive two appetizer plates that were unclean. That was gross but other than that our waiter was good and the food was delicious. My reddish was room temperature he brought it out. I realize with how packed the restaurant was that I shouldn't expect it to be Pete r so I let it slide. The spinach dip was fabulous!!! I don't think I told you about how amazing their croissant rolls were. Tasted like the most buttery, flakey, lightest creation of amazing you've ever had. Just amazing! Everything was good. I'm delighted they're opening one in Yukon. I'm looking forward to trying it again in that location. Two thumbs up all the way read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Exterior - American Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Surpassed expectations. Had the trio appetizer sampler; which was a meal in itself! The chicken tenders were the best I remember. Battered lightly and the chicken was tender and juicy. My girlfriend loved her chicken fried steak. Portions were generous. We will definitely return! read more

I've been to Cheddar's several times, and everything I've had is more or less mediocre. The baked spasagna was probably the most decent entree I've had. I've also had their steak and shrimp which was neither good nor bad. Dessert shooters or minis are pretty good especially when you want a small inexpensive dessert, which is an option I enjoy having. It's been a while since I've visited Cheddar's, but tonight's experience was by far the worst. I had no problem with the service, but the food was very lacking and disappointing. I had the chicken fried steak with buttered off-the-cob corn and mac and cheese for my sides. First off, mac and cheese wasn't even hot. It tasted more seasoned than the average mac and cheese, but it felt like it had either been sitting out forever or they just didn't reheat it enough. This applied to both my friend's and my own dishes. On top of that, the chicken fried steak was a piece of burger meat fried in a thick batter that didn't even stick to the steak. When I cut it, the batter just fell off, so I was eating burger meat and gravy. That was pretty disappointing and then I found that the last quarter of my chicken fried steak consisted of battered air. The batter deceivingly makes the entree look like a large portion, but I was not impressed. read more

ew this place is no good. food=cold order=wrong table= sticky water= empty service = bad dont recommend read more

Sorry to be leaving this but they served me country fried chicken that was still bleeding. The server Taylor was great and I hate that the cooks could not live up to her service. What makes it worse is that after sending plate back a manager never came to our table. This is truly a mark of bad management. There should never be a case that a manager doesn't stop by to apologize and acknowledge a mistake. All restaurants make mistakes on orders or cooking blunders and that's understandable but for management not to acknowledge, well you lost another customer. read more

The hostess has sent 30 people walking out the door . Not answering phone either. Place is empty and her wait time was off by 20 min. . Also they no longer have onion rings... never coming again. Probably won't be here with this hostess in charge...... read more

HORRIBLE service!! No bread/croissants like before when we came. Not even busy and it took 20 MINUTES to get drinks, 2 sodas and 2 drinks at the bar. Honestly I think the bar was the hold up. I've been here twice before since Mother's Day, each time service and food went down hill! Im pretty sure the alcoholic drinks are half of what the actual alcohol content should be. Server did not remove dirty dishes and refills of drinks were extremely slow and even for the kids with their sodas. $140 "lunch" for mediocre food and bad drinks from the bar. I really wanted to like this place and at first I did, not anymore!! Ugh so disappointing! read more

They were busy and we were seated immediately. Food came out quickly and cooked perfectly.

Love, love their cocktails! For starters all of their drinks are around $7 and they are pretty big. On to the apps...I love the fried cheese, it reminds me of good Ole state fair fried cheese. Lastly if you are looking for a all time cheat meal ( Like me) get the Monte Cristo sandwich. It's deep fried with raspberry jam. So good. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Fun times with the little while waiting for our seat. - American Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Sat at the bar and our order was not taken correctly. We ordered an appetizer, along with drinks, and the appetizer never arrived. Our entree (we were splitting) then arrived which was delivered by the manager and I asked if we could cancel our appetizer since it never arrived. He offered to deliver it late, free of charge, which we accepted. It still never came. I understand 1 mistake, but not correcting it after notified and saying you would was disappointing. read more

Horrible, horrible service. Never had this bad of service before. Waited forever to even get a freakin sauce, embarrassing.

Completely over cooked no flavor thinest hamburger patty I have seen. They messed up my first order, took 20 minutes to remake the order and this is seriously what they gave me. I ended up having to get it to go, because of the wait. The manager said he would comp it from the ticket and they didn't, pretty disappointed about this. This was supposed to be a patty melt, in case like me you couldn't tell. read more

The food was terrible when we went last Friday. First it started off being told the wait was 10 mins and ended up waiting 30 mins. I ordered chicken strips and ribs. The strips were over cooked but edible, now the ribs on the other hand were like warm and impossible to eat. I tried pulling them apart and they wouldn't come apart. Tried cutting them with a steak knife no luck either. My wife ordered the chicken fried steak and it was a nice golden brown, but was hard as a rock and tasted terrible. This place use to be excellent but has went way down hill. read more

Cheddar's has a new feel and look to everything including the food. I was skeptical about trying it out as I didn't have a great experience the last time I tried it for lunch. I was very pleasantly surprised today during lunch. Our office chose to do our monthly birthday lunch at Cheddar's. Everyone at the table got something different and it all looked great. It came out fresh and very timely. I am on a diet and loved the lighter options on the menu. I chose the chicken and shrimp entree and it was perfectly cooked. read more

I've always been a fan of Cheddar's, however, today's experience was bad. I was taking my daughter to the restroom, both men's restroom stalls were dirty, floor and the seats. I handed my daughter off to my wife to take her to true restroom. My wife also stated her restroom were dirty too. It took our server over 30 mins to bring our checks back. I give the place two stars because, our server was nice and the food was pleasant. read more

I got the dinner size chicken fried chicken,which comes with 2 chicken fried chickens. The CFC were big and not dries out. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. My mother got the Monte Cristo which was very oily and did have as much meat as it usually does. We also got the spinach and artichoke dip which was Delish! Everything was pretty good. read more

Like Charleston's but with way lower prices! I've been to Cheddar's a handful of times now (my profile pic was taken outside of there during an ice storm), and it's been pleasantly delicious every time. The service has also been very good consistently, and the prices deal a final blow to their competition. At most sit down restaurants in its class (i.e. Applebee's, Chili's, etc.), you'll pay at least $2-$5 more per person. Cheddar's also has a better menu than the others, not to mention the superior service. As a note, I've heard that Cheddar's is owned by Charleston's, so it's like having that level of food but at a much more competitive price! Likes: Exceptionally priced, excellent food with friendly service. The food is all made with fresh ingredients, and you can tell they prepare it with care. Their croissants are like $1.79 or so for a half dozen, and they come hot and lightly glazed with some sort of honey-butter cream that is just incredible. They're light and fluffy but still flaky on the outside, just like a real croissant should be. Their menu selection is also very pleasing, including a wide variety of homemade pot pies, talapia with mango sauce, chicken fried steak, fajita quesadillas, Philly cheesesteak, and quite a few other standard favorites and non-standard dishes. Dislikes: Honestly, I have not found much that I dislike about the place. To be fair, my wife did not enjoy her barbeque baby back ribs one time, but that's all I really have for negative comments. Great food, well priced, and great service - there's really nothing more to say! read more

Got the Cajun pasta and a Caesar salad. I enjoy saucy pastas but it was drowned in sauce,way too much. The dish was to include shrimp chicken and sausage. Was a bit disappointed, only had three small pieces of sausage, and the chicken was really dry so didn't eat the chicken. Giving a 3 because I felt we were being rushed out. We were still eating, and the waitress was already trying to take up our plates. Seems like a decent place. Maybe I will try a different dish but it was meh. read more

Our server was so nice! The hostess quoted a 15 minute wait, which actually was more like 3 minutes. Pretty cool! The downside = section we sat in was a terrible mess. It was a Friday night so I'm sure they were hustlin' to get people in and out! It's a place for families. Lots of kids around. It's in between a Denny's and Chili's. I heard they serve up a mean Monte Cristo.... Ordered that and a Ceasar salad. Long story short- The salad was quite tasty because of the dressing. I generally hate the way restaurants cut their lettuce so the chopped romaine was as expected. I know what you're thinking.... Why don't I make my own salad at home? Answer = I'm lazy, hence the reason why I went to a restaurant! :P The sandwich was OK. I say this because I was expecting the coating to be something different. The interior of the fried confection had turkey, ham and American cheese. Not a big fan of American Cheese. We didn't get a side of the delicious sounding raspberry preserve, so I asked our server and he quickly brought it over. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Monte cristo - American Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Very disappointed with the service and food today. I got the meatloaf meal which is my favorite here but today the service was extremely slow and when I finally got my meal the only thing hot was my meatloaf. I sat at the bar because I was alone and I guess since I was not drinking alcohol I wasn't a big enough customer to warrant good service. Mashed potatoes were cold and the Mac and cheese was cold and old with some crusty parts. read more

I give this place 5 stars because they are unequivocally more than fair with their prices. As a foodie, I've had many foods at many places and I have to say their onion rings are some of the best I've had. Their chocolate cake was on the dry side unfortunately, so I'll stay away from that in the future. read more

Came here for dinner with mom. Waitress was helpful and friendly. She also got back to us quickly when we asked for something! The food was also tasty! I ha the Dijon mustard chicken and mushrooms! Then a mini starve berry cheesecake for desert! Very satisfied and happy I choose Cheddar's! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Painkiller! - American Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Ive been here many times and probably had more good than bad experiences. This particular experience was pleasant. Chicken tenders were nice and hot. I dont care much for the flavor of the mashed potatoes. Taste like they mash them with the water they were cooked in. Too bad im not in that kitchen because I think I make the best mashed potatoes in the world. Anyway the side caesar salad was good but they can ease up on the dressing because I dont like my romaine to be drowning but thats what I get for not ordering the dressing on the side like I usually do. They put alot of shaved parmesean which I love and the honey croissant that comes with it is probably the best croissant I have ever had which is not often. Staff change all the time but most the time they are attentive. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Decor & Style: 3/5 I always get the Baked Spasagna when I come here. Very flavorful and is exactly how it sounds, baked spaghetti mixed with lasagna. I haven't tried other dishes as of late so I can't rate anything else. Service is slow at the bar. We enjoy sitting at the bar to be in front of the TV but they are slow every time I come there. Maybe skip the TV next time just to have fast service! Decor/style is kind of boring. Feels like every other chained restaurant in the state, not original at all. At least it's clean! Will be back for some more Spasagna. 4/5 overall. read more

Every time I eat here I swear I will not go back. You used to be able to get a half order of onion rings with a burger, not anymore. So, the last time I was there, I ordered a full order; they got to the table quite quickly but were cold and stale. This tells me they are cooked ahead of time and set aside until ordered during the lunch rush. Today, we ate there because there was a line out the door at all the decent restaurants in town. When we went in, there were four waitresses standing at the podium at the front door griping to each other. We were seated right next to the kitchen even though there were many empty seats at 3:00 in the afternoon. There were waiters leaned up against the wall in the bar area on their phones and groups would gather at the kitchen door, right next to our table just acting stupid. We could not have time to look at the menu without being hounded with the waitress wanting us to order. When the food got there, the order was wrong. When we left, there were people waiting to be seated when over half of the restaurant was empty and there we now six girls (waitresses) standing at the podium griping. I made it a point to turn around and count them because I really could not believe what I was seeing. The only good thing I can say about Cheddar's in Norman is that the tea is good. And I swear, once again, that I will never go back! read more

Bad night for waitress. We sit for 10 mins before we where asked about drinks. Asked for sweetened peach tea received unsweetened regular tea. Then they were out of sweet tea, another wait. Cold mac and cheese, missing a mac and cheese and a baked potato. Then baked potato was not good at all. Something was wrong with it. Didnt discount for the bad potato. read more

Great experience! Had a Cheddar Pain Killer to start things off and it didn't dissapoint. Toasted coconut rimmed, with rum, pineapple, and nutmeg! Next, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans. With the large portions there was even some to bring home. I'll definitely be going every chance I get. read more

Welp, we hadn't eaten at a Cheddars in a while and never at the Norman location. My wife ordered the chicken and shrimp and it was really good. I ordered the 10 oz pork chop with bourbon sauce. Fantastic! The only disappointment was the Caesar salad. The bagged greens should have been euthanized yesterday. They were turning brown. However, all in all a good gastronomic experience. Cheers and may the food be always to your flavor. read more
